• Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu registered at the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch, collected their subsidies, and declined Ma Xiunuo’s invitation to join.

• Lin Yuan wrote in his diary that he feared Tang Hao might target Xiao Wu and considered taking her into hiding until he became a Titled Douluo.

Lin Yuan’s plan to draw Tang Hao away from Nuoding City prompted Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue to dispatch Spirit Hall experts to investigate. The chapter ended with Qian Renxue ordering She Long and Cixue to go despite She Long’s concerns about leaving her unprotected.

• Xiao Wu reflected on Lin Yuan’s willingness to protect her and considered sending Tang Hao away so she could live peacefully with him.
• Bibi Dong, eager to earn diary rewards and verify Lin Yuan’s claims, ordered Yue Guan and Gui Mei to investigate reports of Tang Hao near Nuoding City.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei hesitated because they feared Tang Hao, but Bibi Dong told them only to confirm his whereabouts and probe him if they found him.
• Qian Renxue praised Lin Yuan’s plan and ordered She Long and Cixue to investigate Tang Hao in Nuoding City.
• She Long warned Qian Renxue that both protectors should not leave her, but she insisted that they obey her order.

Qian Renxue weighed how to send Titled Douluo after Tang Hao while Lin Yuan’s diary speculated that Yu Xiaogang had deliberately put Tang San in danger to test his theories. The chapter left Yu Xiaogang poisoned after the Mandala Snake attacked, as Lin Yuan condemned his choice of Soul Ring for Tang San.

• Snake Lance urged Qian Renxue to let him go after Tang Hao while Cixue stayed to protect her, and Qian Renxue agreed.
• Lin Yuan’s diary suggested Yu Xiaogang might have led Tang San into danger to force him to accept a theoretical experiment.
• In Soul Hunting Forest, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San faced a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake, which bit Luo Sanpao and poisoned Yu Xiaogang through their Martial Soul link.
• Lin Yuan explained that Tang San killed the Mandala Snake and absorbed its Soul Ring, gaining Entanglement and a little paralysis toxin.
• Lin Yuan criticized Yu Xiaogang for choosing an animal Soul Beast’s Soul Ring for Blue Silver Grass instead of a more compatible Plant Type Soul Beast.

Lin Yuan revealed that Yu Xiaogang’s Luo Sanpao was not a useless malignant mutation but a benign mutation tied to the Super Martial Soul Golden Sacred Dragon. His claims stunned Ning Rongrong and Liu Erlong, who recalled the strength of the Seven Kill Sword and the Golden Iron Triangle’s fusion skill.

• The women reconsidered Tang San’s Entanglement skill and questioned Yu Xiaogang’s decision to use him to test whether a Plant Martial Soul could absorb a Beast Soul Ring.
• Ning Rongrong wondered why Yu Xiaogang had chosen Tang San for the experiment when other Plant Soul Masters could have been subjects.
• Lin Yuan stated that Luo Sanpao was a rare benign mutant Growth Martial Soul, not a useless Martial Soul caused by malignant mutation.
• Lin Yuan explained that Luo Sanpao carried Golden Sacred Dragon blood and that the Golden Sacred Dragon ranked above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as a Super Martial Soul.
• Ning Rongrong angrily rejected the claim that Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul surpassed Grandpa Jian’s Seven Kill Sword.
• Liu Erlong realized that Luo Sanpao had been the core of the Golden Iron Triangle’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill despite Yu Xiaogang’s low Soul Power.

Lin Yuan explained that Luo Sanpao was a sealed Golden Sacred Dragon whose weak appearance and low Innate Soul Power came from Yu Xiaogang’s inability to support its bloodline. He condemned Yu Xiaogang’s neglectful training and began arguing that the Golden Iron Triangle’s famed fusion was merely a combination skill, leaving the criticism unfinished.

• Lin Yuan explained that Yu Xiaogang’s weak body had forced the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul to seal and degrade itself into Luo Sanpao.
• Lin Yuan argued that Yu Xiaogang should have trained his body and strengthened Luo Sanpao with nourishing food instead of abandoning cultivation for theoretical research.
• Lin Yuan mocked Yu Xiaogang for feeding Luo Sanpao white radishes to produce gas, while Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu laughed at his reasoning.
• Lin Yuan said Luo Sanpao needed nutritious meat, dragon blood, and intense training to awaken its Golden Bloodline, but Yu Xiaogang’s care had likely ruined its chance to evolve.
• Lin Yuan dismissed the Golden Iron Triangle’s Golden Sacred Dragon fusion as a three-person combination skill rather than a true Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Liu Erlong learned from Lin Yuan’s diary that the Golden Iron Triangle’s Trinity was a combination skill rather than a true Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but she still defended Yu Xiaogang and decided to seek dragon-type Soul Beasts to help Luo Sanpao. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling read their own Black Diaries during a theory lesson.

• Liu Erlong recalled the Trinity Golden Sacred Dragon and realized that she, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender had no Martial Soul Resonance.
• Liu Erlong rejected the idea that the Trinity’s lack of Martial Soul Fusion made Yu Xiaogang’s research unimpressive and resolved to look for dragon-type Soul Beasts with Light Bloodline.
• Liu Erlong released her Killing Aura and set out to raise Luo Sanpao by feeding him suitable Soul Beast meat.
• At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling sat through a theory lesson while reading Black Diaries only they could see.

Dugu Yan discovered that Lin Yuan’s diary claimed her family’s poison would likely kill her before she turned thirty, and Ye Lingling suggested he might know how to cure it. The diary stopped before revealing any treatment, leaving Dugu Yan furious and desperate for answers.

• Dugu Yan angrily rejected Lin Yuan’s criticism of her grandfather, while Ye Lingling considered his ideas about Martial Soul flaws.
• Lin Yuan wrote that Dugu Bo was weak in one-on-one fights but unmatched at poisoning armies, then revealed that Dugu Yan might not live past thirty because of Toxin Reversal.
• Dugu Yan recognized signs of the toxin in her family and realized her grandfather had hidden the danger from her.
• Ye Lingling urged Dugu Yan to consider that Lin Yuan might know an antidote, but the diary’s words abruptly stopped.
• Dugu Yan raged at Lin Yuan for cutting off before explaining how to detoxify her.

Lin Yuan spent the day bonding with Xiao Wu, then received a Spiritual Power cultivation secret art from his diary system. The demanding method led him to plan a future visit to Dugu Bo’s lair at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find herbs that could support its cultivation.

• Lin Yuan bought Xiao Wu candied hawthorn, and their shared bite left her mortified when he called it an indirect kiss.
• Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu returned to Nuoding Academy and spent the afternoon studying and cultivating.
• At midnight, Lin Yuan received the beginner-level Soul Shattering Spirit Refining Art as his diary reward.
• Lin Yuan learned that the method required repeatedly shattering and regenerating Spiritual Power and worked best with nourishing medicinal materials.
• Lin Yuan decided to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest once he grew stronger, hoping to find Spiritual Power-enhancing herbs.

Xiao Wu received a ring and Ten-thousand-year Sacred Soul Grass Essence, while Lin Yuan painfully practiced a Spiritual Power Cultivation Method. After seeing his condition, Xiao Wu decided to share her medicine with him.

• Xiao Wu received a Flowing Cloud Ring and a bottle of Ten-thousand-year Sacred Soul Grass Essence as rewards from the system.
• Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu went to the Sports Field, where Lin Yuan meditated while Xiao Wu practiced Shadowless Kick.
• Lin Yuan endured half an hour of agony as the Soul Shattering Spirit Refining Art shattered and rebuilt his Spiritual Power.
• Xiao Wu found Lin Yuan pale and drenched in sweat, and he told her the method was painful but had made his Spiritual Power more condensed and resilient.
• Xiao Wu brought Lin Yuan the Sacred Soul Grass Essence, deciding to share the medicine she had received.

Lin Yuan accepted half of Xiao Wu’s precious Spiritual Power medicine, then watched Tang San return to Nuoding Academy with his first Soul Ring while Xiao Wu’s trust in Lin Yuan’s diary earned her a promised reward. Five days later, Lin Yuan sensed that something was finally happening.

• Xiao Wu gave Lin Yuan half a bottle of ten-thousand-year medicinal liquid, and he thanked her by promising to treat her to food.
• Wang Sheng reported that Yu Xiaogang had been carried back after a Soul Beast bit and poisoned his swollen butt.
• Tang San returned with a yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring from a Mandala Snake and demonstrated his Entanglement Soul Skill, but Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu showed little interest.
• Tang San left to work as a blacksmith, practice the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, prepare the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and register at Spirit Hall.
• After five days of writing ordinary diary entries, Lin Yuan sensed a hint of movement.

Four Titled Douluo confronted Tang Hao above Nuoding Academy, but he drove them away from the city after revealing his strength. Yu Xiaogang was left fearing Tang Hao would blame him for Spirit Hall finding his whereabouts.

• Lin Yuan recognized Tang Hao, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Snake Lance Douluo She Long in the sky and suspected Qian Renxue had sent She Long.
• Xiao Wu trembled at the Titled Douluos' pressure, and Lin Yuan reassured her while Tang San tried to see the figures with his Purple Demon Eye.
• Tang Hao revealed his Divine Slaughter's Domain, his nine soul rings, and his Level Ninety-Four cultivation before provoking the three Titled Douluo.
• Gui Mei urged Yue Guan and She Long to lure Tang Hao away from Nuoding City, and Tang Hao flew beyond the city with them in pursuit.
• Yu Xiaogang realized Tang Hao had directed killing intent at him and feared Tang Hao suspected him of revealing his location to Spirit Hall.

Lin Yuan teased Xiao Wu while holding her hand as they returned to the Seventh Dormitory, then wrote in his diary about Spirit Hall’s intervention. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue grew more convinced of his predictions, while his warning about Tang Hao’s strength left the planned attack in doubt.

• Lin Yuan refused to release Xiao Wu’s hand, teased her about blushing, and led her back to the Seventh Dormitory.
• Lin Yuan wrote that Spirit Hall had acted quickly on his anonymous tip, while Bibi Dong realized she had sent people in advance after reading his diary.

• Lin Yuan warned that Tang Hao could use Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer despite his injuries, potentially overwhelming the three Titled Douluo.

Bibi Dong reassessed Tang Hao’s threat, while Lin Yuan’s diary condemned Shrek Academy as a shabby, unlicensed school with absurd admissions standards. Bibi Dong lamented that talented students might be lured there, and Dugu Yan decided Heaven Dou Royal Academy was a better future choice for Lin Yuan.

• Bibi Dong read that Tang Hao could use Great Sumeru Hammer and ring detonation, and concluded she had underestimated his strength.
• Lin Yuan’s diary explained that Tang Hao could potentially remove his hidden injuries by sacrificing a hand and foot, but would lose twenty levels of cultivation.
• Lin Yuan criticized Shrek Academy’s village setting, lack of facilities and official recognition, and demanding entrance tests for young Soul Masters.
• Bibi Dong questioned why gifted students would choose Shrek over Spirit Hall or reputable academies with resources such as Mimetic Cultivation Environments.
• Dugu Yan decided Lin Yuan should attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy, praising its facilities, training grounds, food and scholarships.

Dugu Yan decided she had to go to Nuoding City and lure Lin Yuan to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Lin Yuan’s diary condemned Shrek Academy’s fees, facilities, staff, and training methods. Ning Rongrong read his defense of her and agreed that Flender’s long-distance running drill was absurd; the story left her feeling vindicated.

• Dugu Yan resolved to go to Nuoding City and find a way to bring Lin Yuan to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Lin Yuan’s diary criticized Shrek Academy for charging a nonrefundable ten Gold Soul Coins before admission tests and offering poor facilities.
• Ning Rongrong was shocked by Shrek’s fee and agreed that the academy’s practices disgraced Flender.
• Lin Yuan’s diary compared Flender’s staff with the stronger faculties at established academies and recalled Ning Rongrong cursing Flender in the original story.
• Lin Yuan argued that Flender’s twenty-lap drill for Ning Rongrong misunderstood a Support Type Soul Master’s role and that positioning, awareness, and Soul Power control mattered more.
• Ning Rongrong enthusiastically agreed that running could not save her from a powerful Soul Master and that her teammates should protect her.

Ning Rongrong learned that her father had secretly arranged for Flender to discipline her, then decided not to attend Shrek and considered visiting Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan exposed Shrek’s boast about producing a Spirit Hall elder and questioned what had happened to the many students who never graduated, leaving Ning Rongrong frightened that they had died.

• Ning Rongrong realized Ning Fengzhi had known where she was and had asked Flender to temper her, then decided to keep a tally against her father and grandfathers.
• Ning Rongrong vowed not to attend Shrek Academy and considered traveling to Nuoding City to meet Lin Yuan.
• Lin Yuan questioned Flender’s claim that a Shrek graduate had become a Martial Soul Hall Elder, and Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue rejected the boast.
• Lin Yuan pointed out that only fourteen of Shrek’s sixty-two enrolled students had graduated and wondered whether the missing students had been expelled or killed.
• Ning Rongrong and other women grew horrified at Lin Yuan’s suspicion that Shrek’s dangerous training had killed many of its missing students.

Lin Yuan questioned Zhao Wuji’s motives for protecting Tang San’s group from the Titan Giant Ape and raised suspicions about why Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Dark Guards never appeared. Ning Rongrong began to fear that someone in her family might have wanted her dead, while Xiao Wu felt relieved that her choices could prevent the incident.

• Lin Yuan argued that Flender had recklessly endangered Shrek’s students by sending Zhao Wuji alone to protect them in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Yuan explained that Zhao Wuji fought the Titan Giant Ape because abandoning the students would have brought retaliation from their powerful families, especially Tang Hao.
• Xiao Wu realized that Er Ming’s appearance had caused the crisis and felt relieved that she would not go to Shrek with Lin Yuan this time.
• Lin Yuan wondered why no Seven Treasure Dark Guards had rescued Ning Rongrong during the Titan Giant Ape incident and suggested they might have been ordered to let her die.
• Ning Rongrong considered which of her brothers might benefit if she died and feared that someone could be plotting against her succession.

Ning Rongrong feared her Secret Guards might have betrayed her, while Zhu Zhuyun and young Zhu Zhuqing discussed the futures revealed in their Diary Copy. Lin Yuan used the danger to make himself seem like a source of support, as Tang Hao concluded Yu Xiaogang had exposed his location to Spirit Hall.

• Ning Rongrong became more determined to go to Nuoding City and stay near Lin Yuan after suspecting her Secret Guards had been bought off or were working for her brother.
• Xiao Zhuqing asked Zhu Zhuyun whether the diary's claims about her future engagement to Dai Mubai meant the sisters would eventually fight, and Zhu Zhuyun promised they could change their fate.
• Zhu Zhuyun condemned Dai Mubai for fleeing to Shrek Academy and wondered who Qian Renxue was and how she could command Titled Douluo.
• Lin Yuan admitted he had invented suspicions about Ning Rongrong's Secret Guards to make her seek his support, then reassured Xiao Wu that the Titled Douluo would probably not return soon.
• Outside Nuoding City, Tang Hao confronted Yue Guan and the other two Spirit Hall Titled Douluo, learned of their intelligence network, and suspected Yu Xiaogang had revealed his whereabouts.

Tang Hao confronted Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Snake Lance in Nuoding City, using a devastating hammer strike to break their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He escaped before they could recover, and the three decided to report his presence and seek reinforcements.

• Tang Hao realized Spirit Hall had discovered his location and feared they might learn that Tang San was in Nuoding City.

• Yue Guan and Gui Mei decided to stay in Nuoding City and watch for Tang Hao's return, while Snake Lance went to Spirit Hall to report and seek reinforcements.

Lin Yuan received an encyclopedia that instantly taught him about Soul Beasts, while Ning Rongrong gained powerful cultivation and movement techniques from her Diary Copy. The system then granted the diary holders their seven-day rewards and introduced an anonymous chat group, leaving them to decide whether to join.
