After confirming his Innate Soul Power was level twenty, Zhong Tian sent him out so he and Gongsun Li could discuss something privately.

Zhong Tian took Zhong Li to the Soul Hunting Forest to teach him about spirit-beast hunting, where Zhong Li sensed a Soul Bone inside a Mandala Snake.

Zhong Li returned from his first soul hunt with two powerful Spirit Skills and an External Soul Bone, then went alone to Nuoding Academy, where he watched a gatekeeper humiliate an old man and his grandson. He realized the pair were not Tang Hao and Tang San, while the old man's anger rose toward a confrontation.

• Zhong Li's Wind Element External Soul Bone, which he named Wind of Wings, gained the ability to absorb elements, and his Soul Power reached level 29 after he absorbed two 3,300-year Soul Rings.

• Zhong Li arrived at Nuoding Academy in his self-designed Hall of Rebirth attire after refusing his parents' escort and leaving Zhong Tian a dragon-type Soul Bone with a letter urging him to cultivate.
• A gatekeeper mocked an old man and his grandson from Dog Village, threw down the child's Martial Soul certificate, and stomped on it.
• Zhong Li recognized that the old man was a Soul King, quietly moved behind the crowd, and watched as the gatekeeper continued provoking him.

Zhong Li watched a Soul King punish Nuoding Academy’s abusive gatekeeper, then recognized Tang San and Yu Xiaogang before Xiao Wu approached him for help registering. Both Tang Hao and Zhong Li’s second grandfather realized Xiao Wu was a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast and decided to watch her closely.

• The old Soul King struck the gatekeeper for provoking him, and Nuoding Academy’s headmaster offered three thousand Gold Soul Coins to spare the man and remove him from the city.
• The headmaster later appointed the old man vice headmaster, while Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that strength determined who controlled others.
• Zhong Li recognized Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, ignored them, and headed toward his dormitory after registering at the academy.
• Xiao Wu approached Zhong Li and asked him to help her register, drawing the attention of Tang Hao and Zhong Li’s second grandfather, who both identified her as a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
• Tang Hao and Zhong Li’s second grandfather each resolved to keep Xiao Wu under observation rather than act against her immediately.

After Zhong Li became famous, factions flocked to Nuoding Academy, while Tang Hao suspected his son’s classmate Xiao Wu had been given a concealment Soul Tool to hide her identity as a soul beast. Tang Hao lured Zhong Li’s protectors away and attacked, but Zhong Daoxian and Gongsun Ce intervened and killed him, leaving Zhong Daoming to continue guarding Zhong Li.
