Chapter Summaries

Tang Xiao planned to help Tang Yuehua obtain her first Soul Ring, while Zhu Ming arranged for Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to flee the Star Luo Empire before the Imperial Family could pursue them. The sisters set out at night under Hongxiu’s protection.

• Tang Xiao told Tang Yuehua that he would take her to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable first Soul Beast, since Clear Sky Sect could not safely use Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Forests.
• Zhu Ming decided to help Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing escape after Dai Yutian threatened to hold the Netherworld Duke’s Mansion responsible if they could not explain why the Hell White Tiger fusion skill had failed.
• Zhu Ming reassured Zhu Zhuyun that he had planned for the family’s safety and chose a dark night during a shift change to make their escape.
• Zhu Ming ordered Hongxiu, a Level Seventy-Six Agile Attack Type Soul Sage, to escort the sisters out of the Star Luo Empire and serve them from then on.
• Hongxiu introduced herself to Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing and pledged to protect them with her life.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing escaped the Duke's Mansion with Hongxiu and headed toward Heaven Dou, while Zhu Ming staged an alarm over their disappearance. He reported the apparent kidnapping to Dai Yutian, who demanded an explanation.

• Zhu Zhuyun accepted Hongxiu's escort, deciding that she and Zhu Zhuqing were too weak to travel safely without protection.
• Hongxiu led Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing over the Duke's Mansion walls and out of Star Luo City under cover of night.
• The servants discovered the sisters' empty rooms, and Zhu Ming pretended to wake in shock before ordering a search.
• Zhu Ming went to the Imperial Palace and told Dai Yutian that his daughters had vanished from the Duke's Mansion.
• Dai Yutian rose in fury and challenged Zhu Ming's claim that his daughters had disappeared from a heavily guarded estate.

Dai Yutian confronted Zhu Ming over Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing’s escape, but Zhu Ming defended himself and pledged to search for them. Recognizing the political risks of punishing the Zhu Family, Dai Yutian demanded that Zhu Ming propose a punishment for his failure.

• Dai Yutian accused Zhu Ming of secretly helping Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing escape, but Zhu Ming denied it and claimed they had drugged him with sleeping medicine.
• Zhu Ming said he had sent the Duke’s elite forces to search for the two women and promised to bring them back if they were found.
• Dai Yutian saw through Zhu Ming’s excuse but hesitated to punish the Zhu Family because of its alliance with the Star Luo Imperial Family and Zhu Zhuqing’s potential.
• Dai Yutian reasoned that the two women had likely fled north toward the Heaven Dou Empire, where the Star Luo Empire could not easily reach them.
• Dai Yutian blamed the Zhu Family for the escape and asked Zhu Ming how he wanted him to handle the matter.

Dai Yutian punished Zhu Ming by appointing him commander of a campaign to capture three Heaven Dou cities, leaving Zhu Ming worried about the danger at the border and his family’s safety. The next morning, the Misfortune Card caused Wang Sheng to fall onto Tang San, waking him with a bloody nose.

• Zhu Ming offered to expel his daughters from the family and accept punishment, while Dai Yutian doubted his promises.
• Dai Yutian ordered Zhu Ming to lead a campaign against Heaven Dou and capture three cities before returning to Star Luo City.

• Wang Sheng tripped beside Tang San’s bed and fell onto him, striking Tang San’s face with his elbow.
• Tang San woke with a bleeding nose, accepted Wang Sheng’s apology, and told him to use the toilet and go back to sleep.

Tang San suffered a series of bizarre accidents, while Tang Hao weighed whether to leave him at Nuoding Academy or take him back to the Clear Sky Sect. The chapter ended with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang both experiencing misfortune during their lesson.

• Tang San's Purple Demon Eye cultivation was interrupted when the purple qi vanished and the sudden sunlight badly injured his eyes.
• Tang San tripped on a flat road and was drenched in dirty water as his bad luck continued.
• Tang Hao returned to Nuoding City, reflected on his reduced strength after losing his right arm, and remained undecided about Tang San's future.
• Tang San changed clothes and went to Yu Xiaogang for his Martial Soul Theory lesson.
• Yu Xiaogang's chair broke as he tried to stand, and he wondered why he and Tang San were both unlucky.

The Misfortune Card caused a latrine to collapse onto Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, leaving them and the academy in chaos. More than half a month later, Tang Yuehua returned to Moonlight Pavilion with her first Soul Ring and had reached level fifteen.

• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang about the string of misfortunes he had suffered that morning, and Yu Xiaogang dismissed them as bad luck.
• After a quiet lesson, a dilapidated latrine collapsed above Yu Xiaogang's office, dumping wastewater and excrement onto Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
• Tang San vomited and opened the office door, spreading the stench through the corridor and making nearby teachers and students retch.
• The Dean discovered the broken latrine and blamed the accident on Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's terrible luck, while Tang Hao watched and wondered at the many coincidences.
• More than half a month later, Tang Yuehua returned to Moonlight Pavilion after Tang Xiao helped her obtain a Soul Ring, and her cultivation had risen to level fifteen.

Tang Yuehua accepted that she would not pursue Tang Hao and planned to use Lin Yuan to obtain herbs while hiding her system-enhanced cultivation. Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where Zhu Zhuyun asked the Diary Copy holders for help entering.

• Tang Yuehua reflected on Tang Hao's character and decided she would seek a Half-Celestial Herb or Celestial Herb from Lin Yuan while concealing her cultivation increase.
• Hongxiu warned Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing about the risks of entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but Zhu Zhuyun argued that the academy would want to recruit them.
• Hongxiu decided to seek a teaching position at the academy so she could stay near and protect the sisters.
• The next morning, Hongxiu escorted Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to the mountain below Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then let them continue alone.
• Zhu Zhuyun opened the Diary Copy holders' Chat Group and asked if anyone could meet them and take them into the academy.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing explained that their mutated Martial Souls had made them targets of the Star Luo Imperial Family, forcing them to flee and seek refuge in Heaven Dou City. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan offered to take them to an Education Committee Member, and Zhu Zhuyun demonstrated her strength to the guards.

• Zhu Zhuyun told the chat group that cultivating the Nine Yin Manual had mutated both sisters' Martial Souls, preventing them from using the Hell White Tiger fusion skill with the imperial princes.
• Zhu Zhuqing explained that their lost value as marriage-bound fusion partners left them at risk of becoming the Imperial Family's playthings, while Dugu Yan, Ice Empress, and Zi Ji discussed the Zhu Family's lack of power to resist.
• Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing reached Heaven Dou Royal Academy and asked the guards to report their request to enroll.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling arrived to welcome the sisters, and Dugu Yan offered to take them to an Education Committee Member.
• When a guard questioned their identities and late enrollment, Zhu Zhuyun released her mutated Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul to demonstrate her strength.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing enrolled at Heaven Dou Royal Academy after fleeing the Star Luo Empire, while Meng Shenji secretly investigated why they had come. Lin Yuan recognized their arrival as suspicious and pretended to be shocked, suspecting they possessed Diary Copies.

• Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing displayed their Hell Spirit Cat Martial Souls and Soul Power to the academy guards, who allowed them to enter with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
• Dugu Yan warned the sisters that their arrival could draw suspicion, and Zhu Zhuyun explained that their Martial Soul mutations had forced them to flee together.
• Meng Shenji accepted the sisters into Heaven Dou Class One, then ordered a trusted subordinate to investigate what had happened in the Star Luo Empire.
• Sun Buyu introduced the sisters to their new class, and Lin Yuan pretended to be surprised while privately suspecting they had Diary Copies.

Lin Yuan reasoned that Zhu Zhuyun had secretly helped Zhu Zhuqing escape the Star Luo Empire to save her from the imperial succession struggle. Zhu Zhuqing realized her sister may have been protecting her, while Lin Yuan left the sisters’ changed circumstances and the consequences of Zhu Zhuqing’s rapid growth unresolved.

• Lin Yuan was shocked to find Zhu Zhuyun had fled to Heaven Dou Royal Academy alongside Zhu Zhuqing, far earlier than in the Original Work.
• Lin Yuan recalled that Zhu Zhuqing had escaped pursuit in the Original Work despite being much weaker than Zhu Zhuyun and her subordinates.
• Lin Yuan concluded that Zhu Zhuyun had pretended to pursue Zhu Zhuqing while secretly escorting her to safety in the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Zhu Zhuqing stared at Zhu Zhuyun in shock as she considered that her sister might have protected her during the escape.
• Lin Yuan explained that Zhu Zhuyun had hoped Zhu Zhuqing would live quietly in the Heaven Dou Empire, but Zhu Zhuqing’s rapid cultivation and encounter with Dai Mubai had made her a threat in the Star Luo succession struggle.

Lin Yuan learned that Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing might be developing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, while the System granted him permission to assign missions to confirmed Diary Copy holders. The chapter left him with the power to reward or punish them for accepting and completing those missions.

• In the chat group, Zhu Zhuqing denied that she had returned to find Dai Mubai for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Zhu Zhuyun defended her.
• Sun Buyu told Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing that the first Heaven Dou Royal Team's lineup was still tentative and invited them to ask Lin Yuan about joining.
• Zhu Zhuyun told Lin Yuan that she and Zhu Zhuqing might be able to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Lin Yuan said they could compete for a team spot.
• At midnight, Lin Yuan's second Soul Ring's age limit rose to ten thousand years, turning all three of his Soul Rings black, and his Soul Shattering Spirit Refining Art reached minor accomplishment.
• The System gave Lin Yuan permission to issue exclusive missions to confirmed Diary Copy holders, with rewards for success and punishments for refusal or failure.

Lin Yuan considered his new authority to issue tasks and decided Tang Yuehua should receive the first one, intending to use pressure to secure her allegiance. He prepared to demand repayment for the benefits she had received, framing his desired control over her as unconditional service.

• The system told Lin Yuan he could issue one task each month, with unused opportunities carrying over, and asked whether he wanted to issue one now.
• Lin Yuan reviewed the Diary Copy holders he had bound and the rewards they had granted him, noting that he could not try to bind Qian Renxue or the Zhu Family sisters until next month.
• Lin Yuan chose Tang Yuehua as his first task target because she had gained substantial system rewards without clearly declaring her allegiance.
• Lin Yuan decided that Liu Erlong could wait, while Tang Yuehua's loyalty needed to be settled immediately.
• Lin Yuan resolved to pressure Tang Yuehua to repay him for her benefits and imagined demanding her absolute obedience as a bedchamber maid.

Lin Yuan ordered Tang Yuehua to publicly leave the Clear Sky Sect, and the system offered her powerful rewards while threatening to strip away her Diary Copy if she failed. After weighing her fears against the chance to gain strength and escape her former life, Tang Yuehua chose to obey and announced her departure, shocking Heaven Dou City and the wider Soul Master world.

• Lin Yuan issued Tang Yuehua a three-day mission to cut all ties and support to the Clear Sky Sect and publicly withdraw from it.
• Zhu Zhuyun received the Floating Light and Shadow Steps movement technique, which the system raised to minor accomplishment.
• Tang Yuehua saw the mission's penalties and rewards, including five Soul Power levels, a thousand-year first Soul Ring, and an advanced Aura Concealment Technique.
• The system told Tang Yuehua to seek Lin Yuan's protection if the Clear Sky Sect retaliated, but left her to explain her sudden decision to him.
• Tang Yuehua resolved to accept the mission for the chance to gain power and stop being a mere vase.
• Tang Yuehua publicly announced her withdrawal from the Clear Sky Sect in Heaven Dou City and sent the sect a letter, causing a major stir among outside factions.

After leaving the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Yuehua gained a thousand-year Soul Ring and concealed her improved strength. She planned to move Moonlight Pavilion into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for protection, while Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi chose to watch how the sect responded.

• Tang Yuehua completed her task, raised her Soul Power to level twenty, evolved her Soul Ring into a thousand-year ring, and concealed it with the Advanced Aura Concealment Technique.
• Xue Ye questioned Ning Fengzhi about Tang Yuehua's departure from the Clear Sky Sect, and Ning Fengzhi advised the Imperial Family to wait and observe.
• Ning Fengzhi reasoned that the Clear Sky Sect might eventually face shortages if Tang Yuehua stopped supplying it.
• Tang Yuehua decided to relocate Moonlight Pavilion to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as an independent sub-academy, seeking protection and a way to get closer to Lin Yuan.
• Tang Yuehua resolved to meet Xue Ye at the Imperial Palace, while the Chat Group members reacted with shock to her departure.

Tang Yuehua explained that a forced system mission required her to sever ties with the Clear Sky Sect, then moved Moonlight Pavilion to the Royal Academy for protection. As Tang Xiao sent Tang Lie to investigate and Tang Hao considered confronting her, Lin Yuan cornered Tang Yuehua in a private room and asked whether she had accepted his proposed price.

• Tang Yuehua told the group that refusing her mission would cost her Diary Copy eligibility, rewards, and memories, and she planned to move Moonlight Pavilion to the Royal Academy.
• Half a month later, Tang Yuehua relocated Moonlight Pavilion to the Royal Academy with Xue Ye’s approval.
• After receiving Tang Yuehua’s letter, the Clear Sky Sect elders agreed that Tang Lie should leave the mountain to question her, while Tang Xiao urged him to restrain his temper.
• Tang Hao heard that Tang Yuehua had apparently betrayed the sect and considered visiting her, unaware that Lin Yuan’s Misfortune Card still threatened Tang San.
• Lin Yuan met Tang Yuehua alone in Moonlight Pavilion, asked whether she had accepted his proposed price, then appeared beside her and put an arm around her waist.

Lin Yuan showed Tang Yuehua a Celestial Herb that could break the innate Shackles of her mutated Martial Soul and improve her cultivation, then demanded that she give him her body and heart in exchange. Tang Yuehua was left stunned and ashamed as she considered his offer.

• Lin Yuan brazenly caressed Tang Yuehua's waist, leaving her embarrassed and unable to push him away.
• Lin Yuan revealed a glowing Celestial Herb, and Tang Yuehua became so captivated that she forgot his hand was still on her waist.
• Lin Yuan put the Celestial Herb away, and Tang Yuehua stepped back and asked what it was.
• Lin Yuan explained the herb's effects and said Tang Yuehua would have to stand completely on his side, in both body and heart, to obtain it.
• Tang Yuehua blushed as she understood the meaning behind Lin Yuan's demand.

Lin Yuan pressured Tang Yuehua to become his woman, promising to help her reach Titled Douluo and gain the power to protect herself. He stole her first kiss, then displayed his God-Slaying Armor, leaving Tang Yuehua shocked by its strength and furious at his assault.

• Tang Yuehua objected to Lin Yuan pursuing her because she was older and feared losing her beauty.
• Lin Yuan promised to help Tang Yuehua become a Titled Douluo and argued that he was the only one who could protect her after she broke with the Clear Sky Sect.
• Lin Yuan claimed he could give a Support Type Soul Master offensive power, then suddenly teleported close and kissed Tang Yuehua without consent.
• Lin Yuan teleported away and summoned his God-Slaying Armor, demonstrating its intimidating power to Tang Yuehua.
• Tang Yuehua realized the armor might let her gain offensive strength, then confronted Lin Yuan angrily for stealing her first kiss.

Lin Yuan argued that Tang Yuehua’s first kiss was fair compensation, while Tang Yuehua’s attraction to his strength and promises overcame her reservations about their age gap. She finally accepted his arrangement and began maintaining his One-Word Battle Armor.

• Lin Yuan teased Tang Yuehua about their kiss and claimed he had gotten the worse end of the deal because of their age difference.
• Tang Yuehua admitted that Lin Yuan’s Celestial Herbs, One-Word Battle Armor, and promises of helping her reach Titled Douluo had made her heart waver.
• Tang Yuehua reasoned that a Titled Douluo’s long lifespan would make their age gap insignificant and gave in to Lin Yuan.
• Tang Yuehua began cleaning and maintaining Lin Yuan’s One-Word Battle Armor while he reclined on the couch and praised her skills.

Lin Yuan kept Tang Yuehua’s secret relationship under wraps and gave her the Purple Nether Marrow Cleansing Jade Muscle Flower. Later, as they met privately in Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Lie infiltrated the academy and confronted Tang Yuehua while Lin Yuan hid nearby.

• Tang Yuehua asked Lin Yuan to keep their relationship secret, and he agreed before leaving her the Purple Nether Marrow Cleansing Jade Muscle Flower.
• Tang Yuehua absorbed the Celestial Herb, while Lin Yuan warned her not to betray him.
• Tang Lie secretly infiltrated Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Zhao Yun detected him approaching Moonlight Pavilion.
• Lin Yuan hid behind a screen and told Tang Yuehua to handle the visitor while he prepared to protect her.
• Tang Lie entered the Elegant Room, sealed it with a soundproof barrier, and confronted Tang Yuehua about hiding at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Tang Lie confronted Tang Yuehua over her departure from the Clear Sky Sect, but Zhao Yun intervened to protect her. Zhao Yun effortlessly broke Tang Lie’s attacks, leaving the Titled Douluo’s fate unresolved as their fight continued.

• Tang Lie pressured Tang Yuehua to return to the Clear Sky Sect, but she said leaving had been her own decision.
• Tang Lie summoned his Flame Clear Sky Hammer, and Zhao Yun’s Silver Spear struck the floor between him and Tang Yuehua as Zhao Yun declared he would protect her.

• Zhao Yun broke Tang Lie’s third Soul Skill with a simple spear technique and shielded the room from the attack’s shockwaves.
• Tang Lie used his sixth Soul Skill to summon two Clear Sky Hammers, but Zhao Yun pierced through both with spear light.
