• Xu Sanshi coughed in shock and told Xu Tianxi that he would be his brother instead.

Xu Tianxi reassured Xu Sanshi after the younger man panicked about Yan Shaozhe, then tricked him into accepting an untitled manual about relationships. As Xu Sanshi escorted him to awaken his Martial Soul, Xu Tianxi worried about how to gain the Black Tortoise Martial Soul without repeating Xu Sanshi’s romantic misfortunes.

• Xu Sanshi feared Yan Shaozhe would punish him because Xu Tianxi had slapped the dean, but Xu Tianxi promised not to abandon him.

• Xu Xiaoyun and Xu Fu decided the discovery must not leak and considered making Xu Sanshi unconscious to keep him from leaving with the secret.

Xu Tianxi awakened an Ultimate Water Profound Tortoise and a second Martial Soul, the Illusory Moon Mystic Eyes, then began cultivating under Xu Xiaoyun’s guidance.

He left to capture an Evil Eye for Tianxi’s first soul ring, while Xu Fu was tasked with guarding Tianxi and keeping his abilities secret.

• Xu Fu urged Xu Xiaoyun to keep Xu Tianxi in the Xuanming Sect, but Xu Xiaoyun warned that the Sun Moon Empire’s Limit Douluos, Soul Engineers, and weapons made Tianxi’s safety impossible to guarantee.

Xu Tianxi woke with a clearer mind and found his father ready to introduce him to the Xuanming Sect’s books, prompting him to consider using the sect’s unusual priorities to help him escape to the Sun Moon Empire.

• Xu Fu watched Xu Tianxi’s Crescent Moon mark absorb moonlight and steadily strengthen his Spiritual Power as a Moon Shadow took shape.

• Old Song proposed Zhang Lexuan as a reserve Sea God Pavilion member, and the elders unanimously approved her nomination.
