Li Qi discovered that Xue Jing's skin membrane had developed extraordinary, glaze-like toughness and asked him to meet Zong Shichan, whose interest in becoming Xue Jing's disciple could help the dojo acquire the Tiger Soul Dojo. Back home, Xue Jing received a commission from Ning Yuan Tai about a skinning killer whose crimes were linked to the God Relic GOD-1291 Girl's Matches.

• Li Qi found that Xue Jing's skin membrane resisted his force and estimated it was roughly equivalent to a B5-grade protective skin membrane.

Xue Jing investigated the addictive God Relic GOD-1291, Little Girl's Matches, before spending New Year's Eve with his family and gaining an epiphany from watching fireworks. He created the Heavenly Blade killing move Flame Chain Colors, while Golden Wind Dojo's Jiao Hongyuan warned his disciples to avoid trouble ahead of Zong Jin Kui's Longevity Feast.

• Xue Jing read GOD-1291's files and learned that its matches summoned a beautiful girl, caused severe withdrawal, and could drive users to violence when exhausted.

At Tiger Soul Dojo, Zong Shichan waited eagerly for Xue Jing while a dark-circled young man recognized her as Yu Yan.

• Xue Jing used Flame Chain Colors to dash between wooden stakes and found that he had to plan the move in advance, though he could forcibly stop it.

After the Longevity Feast, Li Qi used his peak strength to teach Xue Jing the Hidden Dragon Style’s Secret Art: Eye Opener, warning that Xue Jing could not safely use it yet. Back home, Xue Jing discovered that his skills could be fused once Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing reached level 10 and he had enough Divinity.

• Zong Jin Kui warned Xue Jing that the Golden Wind Dojo was caught in a conflict between the company and the authorities, and advised him to stay out of it.
• Xue Jing reported the feast’s events to Li Qi, who agreed to leave the Golden Wind Dojo alone for the time being.

Xue Jing trained Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing to work toward Skill Fusion, then taught Zong Shichan the Hibernating Dragon Art. His lesson activated the Teaching skill at Lv1.

• Xue Jing discovered that Skill Fusion required Fighting Lv10, Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing Lv10, and 1,000 Divinity, and decided to grind the remaining experience.

After receiving news of his reward from Zhi Ge, he fused Combat and Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing into the Extraordinary skill True Martial, which transformed his body and granted him Eye-Controlled Force.

• Xue Jing activated Teaching while training Zong Shichan and found that high-quality lessons increased both his Teaching and other skills’ experience.
• Xue Jing trained Zong Shichan intensively over the following days, helping her improve rapidly while the Hidden Dragon Dojo prepared to relocate and undergo renovations.

• Xue Jing spent 1000 Divinity to fuse Combat with Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing, creating the Extraordinary skill True Martial.
• True Martial transformed Xue Jing’s body, and he demonstrated Eye-Controlled Force by shooting Dragon-Shaped Qi Strength from his eyes into a distant wall.

After True Martial transformed his body, Xue Jing discovered that he could control strength with extraordinary precision and imagined developing it into Near-Godly defensive and offensive moves. The next day, Ning Yuan Tai brought him rewards from Zhi Ge: Ice Blade Shoes and a martial arts manual called Yellow Crone Skill.

• Xue Jing tested his transformed body, fired Qi Strength from his eyes, and found that he could use Eye Opener without harming himself.
• Xue Jing dismantled Eye Opener into tiny flows of strength and considered developing the ability to dissolve other techniques into an Ultimate Skill.
• Xue Jing checked his changed proportions and appearance, then gave Zong Shichan a day off from their usual training.
• Ning Yuan Tai visited Xue Jing the next day, shared lunch with him, and delivered Ice Blade Shoes and a black thread-bound book from Zhi Ge.
• Xue Jing opened the book and read its title: Yellow Crone Skill.

Xue Jing received the Yellow Crone Skill as a reward and asked Li Qi to verify it, then began studying it with the aid of his True Martial ability. He leaves the chapter having understood the skill and started nourishing his five organs, while Li Qi also hopes it can repair his damaged foundation.

• Xue Jing absorbed the Divinity from GOD-1062 Blade Shoes, upgraded Dragon Horn to Lv5, and tested its increased gravity limit.
• Xue Jing brought the Yellow Crone Skill to Li Qi, who confirmed it was genuine and explained that it normally required extensive Daoist learning.
• Li Qi warned Xue Jing that Daoist study could temper a martial artist’s drive, then said the skill might help repair his own damaged foundation and spirit.
• Xue Jing used True Martial to understand the Yellow Crone Skill without difficulty and unconsciously began circulating its force through his organs.
• Xue Jing realized the skill aimed to transform the five organs into Five Organs Gods by building a Five Organs Temple and nourishing the Holy Embryo.

Xue Jing cultivated the Yellow Crone Skill, discovered and regulated an imbalance among his organs, and developed an extraordinary sense of touch. Days later, he sparred with Meng Bo Shang on the outskirts of the East District, where the fight escalated after Li Qi warned him against using Eye-Dotting.

• Void Blade told Xue Jing the Agency had approved eight God Relics worth four thousand Divinity, but Zhu Xuanli had blocked their transfer.

Xue Jing learned that Zhu Xuanli had blocked his God Relic reward, and Wu Youqing agreed to intervene while warning that the Zhu Family's hostility could signal a deeper conflict. After deciding to uncover the reason and confront the family himself, Xue Jing showed Wu Youqing GOD-1291, and she lit one of its matches.

• Void Blade told Xue Jing that Zhu Xuanli had rejected the transfer of his God Relic reward, likely targeting him on behalf of the Zhu Family.
• Xue Jing suspected that his Senior Sister Zhu, Zhu Shan Ying, might be connected to the family's hostility, but he could not reach her.

• Xue Jing decided to find out why the Zhu Family opposed him and then visit them to settle the matter.
• Xue Jing handed Wu Youqing GOD-1291, and she struck one of its matches.

After receiving eight God Relics and gaining thousands of Divinity, Xue Jing upgraded Shadow Flame and discovered it granted him Shadow Leap, then developed Stealth while sneaking behind Zong Shichan at the dojo. The chapter left him ready to teach his disciple a new technique.

• Xue Jing received over 4,200 Divinity from the eight God Relics and learned that his Five Emperors Coins showed the Most Auspicious Trigram.
• Xue Jing used Cleanliness Treasure to clean Maomao, then tested Two Doubts earrings and nearly tricked her into confessing that she liked him.

• Xue Jing hid unnoticed in the Mind Cultivation Room while Li Qi and Chen Fu Guang discussed the missing Worm Mother and the city's fruitless search.

• Pei Xiaoen revealed that he was acting for Councilman Chu Minyi and explained that the government had not searched the homes of Sunny City's thirty Governing Councilmen.
• Pei Xiaoen asked Xue Jing to investigate the councilmen, arguing that Xue Jing's standing with the Sixth Agency made him uniquely qualified.
• Xue Jing did not accept or reject the commission and asked Pei Xiaoen to discuss the payment.

Xue Jing negotiated a commission from the Qing City Government to investigate thirty Governing Councilmen, securing a promise of one billion Zhu Xia Currency and access to ten God Relics. After training his Stealth skill, he began infiltrating councilmen’s homes at night and searched Song Shiju’s villa without being detected.

• The bear-like man attacked Xue Jing, who pierced through his palm and shoulder with the Hidden Dragon Style’s Eye Opener.
• The man revealed that his Four-Dimensional Senses had exposed Xue Jing’s hiding place, then formed Black Crystal Battle Armor and declared that Xue Jing had to die.

Xue Jing fought a powerful Black Crystal-armored man and carried their battle high above Sunny City, where the opponent repeatedly recovered from attacks. Below, Sunny City forces surrounded Chi Liangyun’s home, and Jiao Hongyuan emerged, revealing that he had crossed the Leaping Dragon Gate.

• Xue Jing and the Black Crystal-armored man agreed to move their battle away from the residents, and Xue Jing carried him into the sky with lightning.
• Xue Jing used the Dragon Sakura Seed to transform it into a giant Sakura Dragon and attacked the man with a full-strength Spiral Spear, but the man vanished and reappeared unharmed.
