• Dai Tianxing revealed the crown, and Lin Xia recognized the Core Gem’s immense Star Power as the Mecha Core Energy he needed.

• Lin Xia asked to keep the Star Radiance Crown while he examined its damage, and Dai Tianxing entrusted it to him.

• Dai Tianxing told his sons that Lin Xia had been invited to repair the Star Radiance Crown, shocking Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai.
• Dai Tianxing revealed that Lin Xia had reached level twenty-five Soul Grandmaster, leaving both princes astonished.

At a royal banquet, Lin Xia concealed his strength and avoided Dai Weisi’s attempt to recruit him, while Dai Mubai faltered under the comparison. After returning to his guest courtyard, Lin Xia prepared to investigate the damaged Star Radiance Crown and discover how to restore it.

• Dai Mubai was stunned by Lin Xia’s level twenty-five Soul Power, while Dai Weisi showed shock and interest in the young genius.

• Lin Xia left the banquet and returned to the guest courtyard in the Imperial Palace.
• Lin Xia raised barriers, brought out the cracked Star Radiance Crown, and reached toward its starlight with Soul Power as Larvitar stood guard.

Lin Xia activated the Star Radiance Crown and discovered its vast Soul Tool Matrix, which revealed the energy-coordination principles he needed for his Mecha core Control System. He memorized a key Star Connection Matrix but exhausted his Spiritual Power in the process.

• Lin Xia touched the Star Radiance Crown with his Soul Power, causing it to project a vast three-dimensional Star Map that he could not decipher.
• Lin Xia probed the crown’s interior and encountered a colossal Soul Tool Matrix made of countless interconnected miniature Magic Arrays.
• Lin Xia recognized that one sub-array demonstrated how to coordinate and distribute energy throughout his planned Mecha core Control System.
• Lin Xia memorized the structure of the Star Connection Matrix, then collapsed back against the couch with his Spiritual Power spent.

Lin Xia discovered that the Star Radiance Crown’s Core Gem could power his mecha and resonate with Larvitar’s dragon power, but taking it would provoke the Star Luo Empire. He decided to secretly replace it during a deliberately prolonged repair, leaving him committed to a dangerous plan.

• After exhausting his Spiritual Power while analyzing the Star Connection Matrix, Lin Xia realized the matrix could solve major problems with his mecha’s energy transmission and integration.
• Lin Xia touched the crown’s Core Gem and sensed its immense Star Energy resonating with the God-tier Dragon Bones, while Larvitar showed an intense desire for it.
• Lin Xia recognized the gem as an ideal mecha power source but knew that stealing a core component of the Star Luo Imperial Family’s national treasure could bring the Emperor and Empire down on him.
• Larvitar offered Lin Xia a piece of Sun Essence, but he rejected it as an inadequate substitute and resolved that they needed the Core Gem.
• Lin Xia devised a plan to delay the repairs, find a convincing replacement gem, and secretly swap it for the Core Gem before returning the crown.

Lin Xia searched for a mineral that could power the Star Connection Matrix and identified Phantom Star Glaze in the Starfall Pavilion ruins as his best substitute for a legendary Star Core Fragment. He began recording the matrix despite his depleted Spiritual Power, while preparing to travel to the Silent Mountain Range.

• Lin Xia studied the Compendium of Continental Rare Ore but rejected the minerals he found unsuitable for the Star Connection Matrix.
• Lin Xia read of the legendary Star Core Fragment and suspected it might be the core of the Star Radiance Crown.
• Lin Xia recalled Master Lou Gao's account of Phantom Star Glaze at the Starfall Pavilion ruins in the Silent Mountain Range.
• Lin Xia decided to travel to the ruins and began documenting the Star Connection Matrix despite the pain from his exhausted Spiritual Power.
• Larvitar watched anxiously as Lin Xia reproduced the complex three-dimensional Magic Array.

Lin Xia completed a perfect replica of the Star Connection Matrix before collapsing from exhaustion, and Larvitar guarded him until he woke a day later. With the matrix secured but its Star Gem still in the Star Luo Empire's national treasure, Lin Xia began devising a plan to gain access to imperial resources and travel to the Silent Mountain Range.

• Lin Xia used his last reserves of Spiritual Power to finish the Star Connection Matrix, then collapsed unconscious.
• Larvitar checked Lin Xia's breathing, stayed by his side, and used the warmth of his God-tier Dragon Bone power to comfort him.
• After an entire day and night, Lin Xia woke and confirmed that the Soul Power Array Projection remained stable and perfectly replicated.
• Lin Xia realized the matrix still needed the Star Gem embedded in the Star Luo Empire's National Treasure and rejected asking Dai Tianxing for access directly.
• Lin Xia considered using Larvitar as the basis for an excuse to obtain imperial resources and travel to the Silent Mountain Range for a Phantom Star Glaze substitute.

Lin Xia used his preliminary investigation of the Star Radiance Crown to convince Dai Tianxing to grant him access to the royal treasury and potentially let him search for Phantom Star Glaze. Dai Tianxing personally led him into the Star Luo Secret Treasury, leaving Lin Xia at the entrance to its hidden passage.

• Lin Xia decided to request permission to seek repair materials as a way to buy time and investigate Phantom Star Glaze.
• Lin Xia told Dai Tianxing that his investigation had produced a possible repair clue and asked to test it with specific materials.
• Dai Tianxing offered Lin Xia access to any materials in the treasury and agreed to take him there immediately.
• Dai Tianxing unlocked a concealed passage to the Star Luo Secret Treasury and entered it with Lin Xia following.

Lin Xia inspected the Imperial Secret Treasury for a material to repair the Star Radiance Crown, but found no suitable substitute for Phantom Star Glaze. He secured rare ores and metals for his Mecha experiments and prepared to leave to search for the missing material.

• Dai Tianxing opened the Imperial Secret Treasury and showed Lin Xia its vast collection of Spirit Bones, treasures, Soul Tools, and Mineral Ores.
• Lin Xia compared the available ores with the Star Radiance Crown's Core Gem and concluded that none could replace Phantom Star Glaze.
• Lin Xia asked to test the Mineral Ores, while Larvitar helped him identify materials with strong energy reactions.
• Lin Xia persuaded the Treasury Manager to collect Star Marrow and other rare materials for destructive testing and Mecha experiments, with Dai Tianxing's approval.
• Lin Xia told Dai Tianxing that he would leave to search for the special core material so the repair would not be delayed.

After leaving the Imperial Secret Treasury, Lin Xia returned to Zhu Manor and found Zhu Zhuqing being publicly accused of stealing a servant’s savings. He recognized the accusation as a staged attempt to break her spirit, and the chapter ended with Zhu Zhan demanding that she apologize.

• Zhu Zhan accused Zhu Zhuqing of stealing the coins and threatened family discipline when she denied it.
• Lin Xia recognized the incident as deliberate humiliation, while Zhu Zhan ordered Zhu Zhuqing to apologize to Mama Zhang.

• Lin Xia stepped between Zhu Zhan and Zhu Zhuqing and argued that she had no reason to steal and might have been falsely accused.
• Zhu Zhan ended the confrontation, saying the matter would be investigated later, and left the corridor.
• After the servants scattered, Zhu Zhuqing crouched down and sobbed while Larvitar tried to comfort her.
• Lin Xia gently comforted Zhu Zhuqing and invited her to see glowing Mineral Ore with him and Larvitar.
• Zhu Zhuqing agreed, took Lin Xia's hand, and stood up to leave with him.

Lin Xia took Zhu Zhuqing away from Zhu Manor after she said she wanted to go with him, telling her they would travel far to search for a rare mineral ore.

• Lin Xia sensed two concealed Soul Saints following the carriage and suspected Zhu Zhan had sent them to protect Zhu Zhuqing.
• Lin Xia told Zhu Zhuqing they would stop in a town to rest and replenish their supplies as she watched the countryside pass.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked Lin Xia why he treated her kindly when everyone else had given up on her.
• Lin Xia said he helped because he could not stand the rules and cruelty that treated people as sacrifices, and told her she owed him nothing.
• Larvitar rubbed its warm head against Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and she felt a faint sense of possibility awaken.

Lin Xia, Zhu Zhuqing, and Larvitar reached the Silent Mountain Range and searched for Phantom Star Glaze. Larvitar detected a glimmer hidden beneath ferns and roots along a mountain wall, leaving them poised to investigate.

• Lin Xia and Zhu Zhuqing traveled for half a month, while Larvitar trained to use the power strengthened by his dragon blood and Zhu Zhuqing began practicing her Sister's meditation method.

• Lin Xia identified the Phantom Star Glaze after trekking through the Silent Mountain Range with Zhu Zhuqing and Larvitar.

• Lin Xia used Sand Raising and Sand Force to shield them, then dragged Zhu Zhuqing clear of the leopard’s strike.
• Larvitar awakened in fury and amplified Lin Xia’s Soul Skills into a Sandstorm six hundred meters in diameter that engulfed the forest.

Lin Xia and Larvitar attacked the five-thousand-year Shadow Leopard inside Lin Xia’s Sandstorm after it ambushed him and Zhu Zhuqing. Their coordinated assault struck the disoriented beast with fire and thunder, triggering a violent elemental explosion that left its fate uncertain.

• The Sandstorm overwhelmed the Shadow Leopard’s senses and trapped it in a chaotic, unfamiliar world.
• Lin Xia pulled Zhu Zhuqing into shelter among the roots of an ancient tree and ordered her to stay there.
• Lin Xia charged the Shadow Leopard with Flame Fist and Thunder Punch as Larvitar attacked from the flank with the same moves.

• Lin Xia’s thunder and Larvitar’s fire collided within the Shadow Leopard, causing a violent elemental explosion.

• Zhu Zhuqing approached Lin Xia, overwhelmed with admiration, and asked why he was so amazing.

• Zhu Zhuqing asked Lin Xia to teach her to become as strong as he was, and he agreed but said she first needed to build her foundation and wait for a suitable opportunity.
• Lin Xia led Zhu Zhuqing to a concealed mountain hollow where his Spiritual Power had detected a likely ore vein.
• Larvitar sensed the ore vein through the rock wall and used Sand Raising to strip away the surface and blast open a tunnel.
• Larvitar entered the tunnel and surrounded himself with a rotating Sand Force shield as he continued grinding through the stone.
