Sisi went to Nuoding Academy after Li Yue and the others failed to return, then found Li Yue celebrating his victory over Xiao with the students. She jokingly told them she was Li Yue’s child bride, leaving the crowd to believe her story and stirring reactions among Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Xiao Muxue.

• Sisi worried when Li Yue and the others had not returned and went to Nuoding Academy to find them.
• A student told Sisi that Li Yue had defeated Xiao and become Nuoding Academy’s boss, and that he was celebrating in the second-floor cafeteria.
• Li Yue welcomed Sisi and introduced her to the students gathered around him.
• When students asked how Sisi knew Li Yue, Sisi claimed she was his child bride and invented a story about being adopted by his parents and raising him.
• The students believed Sisi, while Xiao Wu, Tang San, Xiao Muxue, and Li Yue reacted with surprise or suspicion.

Li Yue explained that Sisi was his elder, not his child bride, and Sisi brought him, Tang San, and Xiao Wu to her luxurious villa. Sisi gave Xiao Wu her own room and then went to Li Yue’s room in her pajamas, leaving him surprised when she knocked at his door.

• Li Yue told the students that Sisi was his elder, and Sisi agreed they could call her Sister Sisi.
• After the banquet, Li Yue paid the bill, and Sisi led Li Yue, Tang San, and Xiao Wu back to her villa.
• Sisi told Xiao Wu that the villa would be her home too and showed her a room with a large bed.
• Xiao Wu excitedly jumped onto the bed and fell asleep, while Sisi resolved to keep her from sharing a bed with Li Yue.
• Sisi washed up, knocked on Li Yue’s bedroom door in her pajamas, and surprised him when he opened it.

Li Yue shared Yu Xiaogang’s cultivation notebook with Sisi, who realized its method could help her break through to Rank 30. Sisi left to cultivate after repeatedly kissing and teasing Li Yue, who sent her away in annoyance.

• Li Yue invited Sisi to read Yu Xiaogang’s cultivation notebook with him in bed and explained its contents.
• Sisi recognized that the notebook’s cultivation method could help her reach Rank 30 and change her fate.
• Sisi excitedly kissed Li Yue, and the system informed him that she now owed him a great karmic debt.
• Sisi sucked on Li Yue’s cheek and covered his face in saliva until he told her to stop.
• Li Yue washed his face and sent Sisi back to meditate, and she left eager to test the cultivation method.

Li Yue adapted the Sunflower Manual’s dangerous, rapid qi circulation into Yu Xiaogang’s cultivation notes, then realized he could use it with Xuanxin Gong to refine his own body. His experiment strengthened his meridians and physique, and he considered combining the method with Whale Rubber.

• Li Yue began revising Yu Xiaogang’s cultivation notes with routes from the Sunflower Manual, planning to make the method progressively more powerful and dangerous.
• Li Yue recognized that Xuanxin Gong’s healing and calming effects could counter the Sunflower Manual’s burning, yang inner force and support body refinement.
• Li Yue tested the Sunflower Manual’s circulation route, controlling its rampaging inner force with his spiritual power and storing it in his Tanzhong acupoint.
• Li Yue used Xuanxin Gong to nourish himself afterward and found that his meridians had become thicker and tougher and his body slightly stronger.
• Li Yue compared the method’s effects to Whale Rubber and considered combining them to improve his physique and support a thousand-year second soul ring.

Li Yue developed the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation from Yu Xiaogang’s cultivation notes and gave it to him after more than half a year of refinement. Yu Xiaogang cultivated it repeatedly, suffered cultivation deviation, and incurred a great karmic debt to Li Yue.

• Li Yue showed Yu Xiaogang his first improved Soul Power cultivation route, which more than doubled cultivation speed and gave Yu Xiaogang hope of breaking through to level thirty.
• Yu Xiaogang persuaded the dean to let Li Yue skip classes so he could read and research, while Li Yue secretly guided Yu Xiaogang toward the Sunflower Manual.
• After more than half a year of revisions, Li Yue completed the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation, a method he had adapted to work without castration.
• Li Yue warned Yu Xiaogang that ordinary people could not safely cultivate the method more than once in a short period, but Yu Xiaogang accepted it eagerly.
• Yu Xiaogang unconsciously practiced several times, spat out blood, and suffered cultivation deviation.
• The system told Li Yue that teaching Yu Xiaogang the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation had caused Yu Xiaogang to owe him a great karmic debt.

After Yu Xiaogang injured himself by circulating the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation too many times, Li Yue cared for him while he recovered. Li Yue hinted that castration might let someone cultivate more often, and Yu Xiaogang decided to try it himself in pursuit of breaking through to Level Thirty.

• Yu Xiaogang suffered internal injuries after repeatedly circulating the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation, and Li Yue warned him not to overuse it.
• Li Yue stayed in Yu Xiaogang's dormitory and looked after him while his injuries kept him from cultivating.
• Li Yue deliberately complained that his arousal interrupted cultivation and wondered aloud whether cutting off his member would let him cultivate more.
• Yu Xiaogang urged Li Yue not to take such an extreme step and told him to spend time with Xiao Wu and the other girls who liked him.
• After sending Li Yue away, Yu Xiaogang resolved to cut off his own member so he could cultivate faster and break through to Level Thirty.

Yu Xiaogang removed the parts he believed were hindering his cultivation, then used the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation to break through to Rank 30. He decided to seek a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul ring for Luo San Pao and wrote to Flender for help hunting one.

• Yu Xiaogang numbed himself, cut off the parts he considered superfluous, and fed them to Luo San Pao.
• After recovering and receiving healing, Yu Xiaogang cultivated the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation without pain and broke through to Rank 30.
• Yu Xiaogang decided Luo San Pao's third soul ring should come from a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, choosing one just over a thousand years old.
• Yu Xiaogang wrote to Flender to share his breakthrough and ask for help hunting the soul beast.

Li Yue decided Xiao Wu needed more offensive power and prepared to teach her his Rasengan Self-Created Soul Skill after training her in grappling and force application. Their lesson was interrupted when Sisi arrived to call them in for dinner.

• Li Yue reflected on completing the Great Sun Netherworld Meditation and on the grappling and force-application techniques he had taught Xiao Wu over the past year.
• Li Yue decided Xiao Wu’s strength control was ready for the Rasengan, which he believed suited her speed and strong Soul Power recovery.
• Xiao Wu bragged that she was the strongest girl at the academy and admitted her rabbit martial soul lacked offensive power against stronger opponents.
• Li Yue promised to teach Xiao Wu a powerful Self-Created Soul Skill, and she kissed him enthusiastically in the courtyard.
• Sisi came out to call Li Yue and Xiao Wu to dinner and interrupted their kissing.

Li Yue, Xiao Wu, and Sisi argued over their possessive kissing and Sisi's claim to be Li Yue's child bride. Xiao Wu threatened to sleep with Li Yue, prompting Sisi to back down and apologize.

• Xiao Wu left kiss marks on Li Yue, and Sisi took him to wash them off while criticizing Xiao Wu.
• Sisi kissed Li Yue and claimed she could do so because she was his child bride, then kept sucking on his cheek until he agreed to the title.
• Xiao Wu caught Sisi kissing Li Yue and challenged her, but Sisi argued that Xiao Wu was only his girlfriend and that sharing a bed did not make them married.
• Xiao Wu declared that she and Li Yue would sleep together that night, frightening Sisi into apologizing and urging Xiao Wu to stop saying such things.

As Nuoding Academy’s holiday approached, Li Yue agreed to take Xiao Wu home while Sisi stayed behind for Spirit Hall work. After Xiao Wu and Tang San failed to master his Rasengan, Li Yue developed an easier Self-Created Soul Skill, the Vortex Cannon, and taught it to those around him.

• Sisi asked whether Li Yue would go home during the upcoming holiday, and he said he wanted to visit his mother.
• Xiao Wu asked to accompany Li Yue, and he agreed; Sisi could not go because she had to help children awaken their martial souls.
• Li Yue tried teaching Xiao Wu and then Tang San the Rasengan, but neither could learn to use it effectively.
• Li Yue devised a simpler Vortex Cannon based on vortex rings and spent several days making it usable by circulating Soul Power along a fixed route.
• Li Yue taught the Vortex Cannon to those around him, including Xiao Muxue, and Xiao Wu kissed him fiercely because the skill was no longer just for her.

Li Yue coached Xiao Wu in using the Vortex Cannon and advised her to rely on her speed and fight at range. At dinner, Xiao Muxue announced she had reached level ten, and Li Yue suggested options for her first soul ring, leaving the choice unresolved.

• Li Yue sparred with Xiao Wu, teaching her to keep her distance and use the Vortex Cannon against opponents.
• Xiao Wu fired her Vortex Cannon, and Li Yue matched it with his own; he praised its power but noted its slow activation.
• Xiao Muxue told Li Yue and Sisi that she had broken through to level ten.
• Li Yue recommended a hundred-year Blazing Sky Wolf or Gale Demon Wolf to help Xiao Muxue's ordinary wolf martial spirit evolve.
• Sisi warned that hunting advanced wolf soul beasts would be too dangerous, so Li Yue suggested that Xiao Muxue consider a four-hundred-year plant-type soul beast instead.

Li Yue’s Nine Great Theories of Martial Souls made him famous, though he knew most of the theories lacked rigorous proof. He joined Xiao Muxue and Sisi in the Soul Hunting Forest to find a plant-type soul beast that could help test more of his claims.

• Soul Masters read Li Yue’s theories, were impressed by his five-hundred-year Lone Bamboo soul ring, and praised him and his teacher Yu Xiaogang.
• Li Yue recognized that most of his theories were still conjectures and that properly testing them would require controlled experiments.
• Xiao Muxue decided to add a plant-type soul ring so Li Yue could gather evidence for his theories about soul ring compatibility and martial spirit evolution.
• Sisi took leave from Spirit Hall and traveled with Li Yue and Xiao Muxue to the Soul Hunting Forest.
• Li Yue, Xiao Muxue, and Sisi entered the forest and began searching for a suitable plant-type soul beast.
