After Zhao Yun severed Tang Hao’s right arm and drove him away from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the women in the chat group discussed the battle and questioned why a rank ninety-nine peerless Douluo had let Tang Hao escape.

Tang Yuehua secretly worried about Tang Hao after learning that Zhao Yun had severed his right arm, while remaining unaware of the truth about her brother’s past. At Star Luo Royal Academy, Zhu Zhuyun’s altered Martial Soul left Dai Weisi unable to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger.

• Xiao Wu said she did not know whether Zhao Yun had other trump cards, but revealed that his Soul Ring configuration was seven black and two red.
• Tang Yuehua secretly feared for Tang Hao after learning that Zhao Yun had severed his right arm and worried that he might lose his Titled Douluo cultivation.
• Tang Yuehua hid her concern from the group because she feared the women would discover that she was Tang Hao’s sister, and she continued to idealize him.
• Zhu Zhuyun arrived at Star Luo Royal Academy’s training ground for combat practice with Dai Weisi and the Star Luo Team.
• Dai Weisi discovered that his Martial Soul no longer resonated with Zhu Zhuyun’s, and his attempt to trigger their resonance was rejected.
• Zhu Zhuyun blamed the change on a Martial Soul mutation from her cultivation and told Dai Weisi that they might never use Hell White Tiger again.

Dai Weisi refused to abandon his claim to the Star Luo throne after his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Zhuyun disappeared. Emperor Dai Yutian summoned Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and Duke Zhu to explain the loss.

• Zhu Zhuyun asked whether the vanished Martial Soul Resonance meant she and Dai Weisi had to withdraw from the succession, and Dai Weisi angrily refused.
• Dai Weisi reflected that Dai Mubai’s engagement to talented Zhu Zhuqing had altered the succession, while Dai Mubai had given up competing and turned to indulgence.
• News of Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun’s lost Martial Soul Fusion Skill spread through the Star Luo Imperial Family.
• Dai Yutian summoned Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and Duke Zhu to the Imperial Study and demanded an explanation.

Dai Weisi lost his Martial Soul Compatibility with Zhu Zhuyun, destroying his claim to the Star Luo throne, while Dai Yutian ordered Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing brought in to test their compatibility. The emperor considered raising more princes to secure the succession but remained wary that multiple Hell White Tigers could spark rebellion.

• Duke Zhu denied knowing why Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun had lost their Martial Soul Resonance, and Dai Yutian ordered his guards to bring Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to the Imperial Study.

After Zhu Zhuqing received the Nine Yin Manual from Zhu Zhuyun, the cultivation method changed her Martial Soul and raised her Soul Power, prompting Dai Yutian to summon her and Dai Mubai. Their lost Martial Soul Resonance exposed the sisters’ changes, and Zhu Zhuqing ended the chapter sensing a mysterious connection with Zhu Zhuyun.

• Zhu Zhuyun sent Zhu Zhuqing the Nine Yin Manual through the Diary Chat Group, and Zhu Zhuqing instantly reached its introductory stage.

• Zhu Zhuqing claimed she did not know why her Martial Soul had changed, while privately sensing a mysterious connection with Zhu Zhuyun.

After Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing failed to use their apparent Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dai Yutian gave the Zhu Family a month to explain the change. He insisted the succession struggle between Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi would continue, leaving Dai Mubai despairing and Dai Weisi confident but wary of a possible new heir.

• Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing suspected their shared cultivation of the Nine Yin Manual had created a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but they could not use it.
• Dai Yutian gave Duke Zhu one month to explain the sisters’ change and find a solution, then dismissed the Zhu Family.
• Dai Yutian told Dai Mubai that losing Martial Soul Resonance would not end his struggle with Dai Weisi, since the Zhu Family could find another compatible woman.

He warned them that their broken Martial Soul Fusion Skill would not free them from their royal marriage engagements, then expressed concern about Zhu Zhuyun’s future.

• Zhu Ming took Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to the estate’s secret room and demanded to know what had caused their Martial Soul mutations.
• Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing released their Hell Spirit Cats, and Zhu Ming felt their Martial Souls suppress his own despite their lower levels.
• Zhu Ming observed that Zhu Zhuyun’s Martial Soul had grown larger while Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell Spirit Attribute had grown denser, and he decided to search the family’s ancient books.
• Zhu Zhuyun asked whether losing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill meant they could avoid the Imperial Competition, but Zhu Ming said their announced engagements still required them to marry into the royal family.
• Zhu Ming explained that Zhu Zhuyun might now become an ordinary concubine rather than Empress, reassured his daughters that the Zhu Family’s position protected its foundations, and said he was especially worried about Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Ming warned Zhu Zhuyun that losing her Martial Soul Fusion Skill value would expose her to Dai Weisi’s advances, then ordered her and Zhu Zhuqing to flee to the Heaven Dou Empire after a month. The sisters left the secret room, while Zhu Ming reflected on the sacrifices the Zhu Family’s women had endured and on the turning point facing his generation.

• Zhu Ming warned Zhu Zhuyun that Dai Weisi would likely pursue her now that she had lost her value as his Martial Soul Fusion partner.
• Zhu Ming told Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to secretly leave the Star Luo Empire for the Heaven Dou Empire after the one-month deadline.
• Zhu Zhuyun questioned how their escape would affect Zhu Ming and the Netherworld Duke's Mansion, but Zhu Ming assured her the Imperial Family would not risk breaking ties with the Zhu Family.
• Zhu Ming dismissed his daughters and urged them to stay in the mansion and cultivate until they could change the family's fate through their own strength.
• Alone in the secret room, Zhu Ming reflected on how the Dai Clan had treated Zhu Family women as political tools and sacrifices.

• Tang Yuehua realized Lin Yuan was suggesting she repay him with her body, and Lin Yuan stopped once more at the door to add that he had almost forgotten something.

Lin Yuan confronted Tang Yuehua with evidence that Tang Hao had attacked his younger sister, then left her to choose between supporting her brother and accepting Lin Yuan’s offer.

Ice Empress and Snow Empress debated how to obtain better Diary System rewards without revealing their secret, while Lin Yuan received a Misfortune Card and targeted Tang San with it. Tang San slept unaware as the card’s effects began to close in on him.

• Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the others gave up waiting for Tang Yuehua to respond in the chat group.
