• Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang to a healer, feeling guilty about sabotaging his teacher but deciding he could not undo what he had done.

Tang San brought the injured Yu Xiaogang to the academy’s treatment facility, where Gou Master discovered a serious injury to Yu Xiaogang’s leg. Yu Xiaogang paid for treatment with his remaining Gold Soul Coins, and Gou Master went to retrieve materials to repair the missing section of bone.

• Gou Master answered a call to treat an injured assistant instructor and recognized Tang San when he arrived with Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Xiaogang claimed his injuries were from an accident and persuaded Tang San to leave, while Gou Master played along to preserve Yu Xiaogang’s image.

• Yu Xiaogang handed Gou Master his remaining thirty-eight Gold Soul Coins and agreed to a long recovery without concern for fighting.
• Gou Master went to his quarters to retrieve material from a discarded canine Soul Beast specimen.

Yu Xiaogang received a successful leg-bone repair from Gou Master, though his missing teeth remained and his left leg had been repaired with Vegetable Dog bones. After eating Tang San’s dinner and cultivating, Yu Xiaogang broke through his long-standing bottleneck and suspected the new bones were responsible; Han Li also sensed a change in fate.

• Gou Master had an assistant knock Yu Xiaogang unconscious and repaired his leg with soul beast bones, restoring his movement but not his missing front teeth.

• Han Li finished cultivating and sensed a change in fate.

• Han Li sensed Yu Xiaogang’s fortune roiling and used his authority to inspect what had happened in Heaven Dou City.
• Han Li reviewed Yu Xiaogang’s history of missed opportunities and concluded that his latest rise was a final burst of brilliance before disaster.
• Han Li determined that Yu Xiaogang’s breakthrough came from emotional upheaval and the Vegetable Dog leg bone disrupting his bloodline and leaking his Martial Soul origin essence.
• Han Li began collecting the leaking Golden Sacred Dragon origin essence, intending to use it to strengthen allies and create powerful geniuses.
• Han Li decided to hurry back and keep Yu Xiaogang active in the enemy camp so he could obtain the origin essence.

Yu Xiaogang secretly celebrated his unexpected breakthrough and planned to hide its cause while building his strength and advancing Tang San’s place on Royal Fight Team One.

• Tang San briefly felt killing intent toward Yu Xiaogang, then concealed his reaction as Yu Xiaogang left.

Tang San set aside his guilt over Dai Mubai and continued to pursue his own prospects, while Xiao Wu struggled with Zhu Zhuqing’s disappearance and Tai Long’s unwanted attention. At Royal Fight Team One, Yu Xiaogang’s push to replace its control-system Soul Master with Tang San was stopped by Education Committee Member Zhi Lin, who revealed the Soul Master was his nephew.

• Tang San told Dai Mubai that Yu Xiaogang had ended his lunch visits, and he calmly accepted Dai Mubai’s offer of help while privately viewing him as expendable.
• Xiao Wu mourned her estrangement from Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, then gave Tang San another invitation letter from Tai Long; Tang San decided they would ignore it for now.

• Qin Ming said only the Education Committee could decide, and he sent Yu Tianheng away from the discussion.
• Zhi Lin confronted Yu Xiaogang, identified himself as an Education Committee member, and revealed that Team One’s Sky Blue Vine Soul Master was his nephew.

Zhi Lin revoked Yu Xiaogang’s assistant instructor position and expelled him from Heaven Dou Royal Academy after rejecting his attempt to place Tang San on Team One. Fearing Tang Hao’s retaliation, Yu Xiaogang took money from Tang San and fled, but Tang San secretly tracked him as he left the academy.

• Zhi Lin rejected Yu Xiaogang’s demand to replace his nephew with Tang San on Team One, revoked Yu Xiaogang’s position, and gave him three days to leave the academy.
• Flender apologized to Qin Ming, then struck Yu Xiaogang and disowned him, ordering him to stay away from the training grounds and Team Two.
• Yu Xiaogang feared Tang Hao’s anger and decided to flee, reasoning that he needed money for his bone-replacement research.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San for money, and Tang San gave him two hundred Gold Soul Coins while secretly marking the pouch with tracking powder.
• Tang San followed the tracking scent, saw Yu Xiaogang leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy in a carriage, and hired another carriage to pursue him.

Tang San tracked Yu Xiaogang to a little-used Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan residence, then learned from Flender that Yu Xiaogang had been dismissed over a failed attempt to secure an advantage for their team. Flender warned Tang San not to trust Yu Xiaogang and said he had severed ties with him, leaving Tang San to react alone.

• Flender warned Tang San not to trust Yu Xiaogang too much, then said he had severed all ties with him and left to search for Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San learned that Gou Master’s bone-setting technique had helped Yu Xiaogang heal and possibly break through, then arranged a ten-day leave to watch Yu Xiaogang’s experiments in Heaven Dou City. Tang Hao arrived at the academy too late to find them, while Tang San secretly settled in next door to Yu Xiaogang’s residence.

• Tang Hao returned to the academy looking for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, but Flender told him they had left and revealed Tang San’s location.
• Tang San secretly entered Yu Xiaogang’s residence and dug a hole in the neighboring wall to observe him examining a Vegetable Dog bone specimen.

• Yu Xiaogang planned controlled injuries and scheduled healing appointments so he could replace bones without sacrificing his future cultivation.
• Tang San knocked Yu Xiaogang unconscious with knockout smoke, studied the skeletal specimen, and corrected the markings on Yu Xiaogang and the reference materials.

• Tang Hao found Tang San, reconsidered killing Yu Xiaogang, and joined his son in watching over him.
• Yu Xiaogang made preparations and finally welcomed his first bone-replacement attempt.

Yu Xiaogang replaced the bones in his limbs with Vegetable Dog bones, strengthening his aura, while Tang Hao and Tang San secretly observed him.

• Han Li collected the last leaking Golden Sacred Dragon origin in an icy bottle and left, while the soul ring stabilized Yu Xiaogang’s condition.

The God Kings withdrew from monitoring Douluo Star, while Han Li returned to Heaven Dou City with the martial soul origin he had obtained from Yu Xiaogang. After tending to the Blue Silver Grass plants at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he crossed paths with Tang Hao, who realized Han Li might know how to pass the Poisonous Miasma and chased after him.

At Heaven Dou Academy, Tang San discovered that Blue Silver Grass rejected him, and Ye Lingling recognized the Blue Silver King’s revenge behind the problem.

• Han Li decided to keep Tang Hao alive as a key part of his plans and continued gathering gunpowder materials through the Seven Profound Sect Commerce without informing Spirit Hall.
• Tang San found that his cultivation had slowed and that Blue Silver Grass rejected him both in the Simulated Environment and elsewhere at Heaven Dou Academy.
