Over dinner, Lin Ran explained that the injured girl upstairs remained unconscious because of a defect in her martial soul, leaving her recovery uncertain.

Lin Ran proposed buying an academy in Heaven Dou City to give the Body Sect a public base and recruit talented Body Martial Soul users. Du Busi approved the plan and agreed to send sect members across the continent to find promising students.

• Lin Ran taught Tang Ya Myriad Leaves Flying Flowers, and she offered to teach him the Tang Sect’s secret arts, but he refused to accept them.

Lin Ran learned that Wu Feng, a Level 9 Soul Master tied to the Spirit Devouring Fierce Blade and the Platform of Gods, might be connected to the capture of Snow Empress. He persuaded Du Busi to have the Second Elder watch Wu Feng, while Di Tian remained furious after failing to catch a human child.

• Du Busi told Lin Ran that an anonymous buyer had acquired the Spirit Devouring Fierce Blade four years earlier, and that a Sun Moon Empire Level 9 Soul Master had used it recently.

• In the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian brooded over his failure to capture the human child and raged that the Titled Douluo he had spared had attacked him by surprise.

Di Tian reported his failure to capture the human child to the Silver Dragon King, who decided she would act personally next time. At Shrek Academy, the search for the missing Ma Xiaotao continued after Zhang Lexuan woke and explained how they had been separated.

• Di Tian told the Silver Dragon King that a powerful figure had helped the human child escape, and she ordered him to withdraw, saying she would act personally next time.
• Elder Xuan returned to Shrek Academy badly injured and blamed Du Busi for leading Di Tian to him.
• Mu En learned that Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan had not returned, so Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi set out to search for them.
• Three days later, Yan Shaozhe had rescued the unconscious Zhang Lexuan in the Star Dou Great Forest, but Ma Xiaotao was still missing.
• After waking, Zhang Lexuan told Cai Mei'er that she had stayed behind to cover Ma Xiaotao's retreat when an eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast attacked them.
• Cai Mei'er blamed Xuan Zi for staying in the forest, while he remained silent and drank wine.

At Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe persuaded Zhang Lexuan and the Elders to blame Du Busi for Ma Xiaotao’s death, easing Elder Xuan’s guilt. That night, Lin Ran absorbed the Blood Phoenix Wings and gained their life and Nirvana powers.

• Yan Shaozhe defended Elder Xuan and persuaded him that his actions had helped Zhang Lexuan survive Di Tian.
• Zhang Lexuan backed Yan Shaozhe’s account, and the Elders agreed to hold Du Busi responsible for Ma Xiaotao’s death.

After reaching level twenty-five, Lin Ran used an advance opportunity to obtain the Illusory Sea Pearl, which could protect his soul and memories from detection. He considered how to use his last same-realm advance opportunity and focused on acquiring a tool to help him master his growing strength.

• Lin Ran swallowed the Soul Ascension Pill and cultivated until his Soul Power brought him to level twenty-five.
• Lin Ran used an advance transaction to obtain the Super Divine Artifact Illusory Sea Pearl, which he concealed within his soul.
• Lin Ran planned to fulfill the Illusory Sea Pearl's advance task by obtaining either the Golden Dragon Spear or the Sea God Trident.
• Lin Ran considered ways to use his remaining advance opportunity to improve his training and chose to examine the Simulated Slaughter Space.
• The system offered the Simulated Slaughter Space as an advance transaction requiring 100,000 genetic samples, and Lin Ran hesitated because it would consume his last transaction opportunity.

Lin Ran advanced the Illusory Sea Pearl to create a Simulated Combat Space and learned that it could gather combat data while drawing on other people's Mental Power. He tested the space against simulated Tang San and Xiao Wu, then confirmed that it reproduced their reactions with striking realism.

• Lin Ran asked the system to change the Simulated Slaughter Space into a same-realm advancement, and the system generated a task requiring him to fight a thousand soul masters and reach the Spirit Abyss Realm in Mental Power.
• Lin Ran judged the task achievable and advanced the Illusory Sea Pearl, gaining greater control over it and learning that others could enter the combat space at the cost of Mental Power.
• Lin Ran entered the virtual space and summoned Tang San and Xiao Wu at the Soul Ancestor realm in a Soul Fighting Arena.
• Lin Ran shattered Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and defeated him with a punch, then paused the simulation to test whether Xiao Wu would obey a command.
• Lin Ran ordered Xiao Wu to remove her clothes, paused her before she continued, and concluded that the combat space convincingly simulated emotions and behavior.

Lin Ran used the virtual battle space to test his strength and learn from a future version of himself, while helping establish a Body Sect academy. After a month, he examined the still-unconscious red-haired woman and used Nirvana power on her to investigate the strange pull he felt toward her.

• Lin Ran examined the red-haired woman and found her injuries healed but her Blood Qi weak and Soul Power sluggish.
• Lin Ran took the red-haired woman's hand and sent Nirvana power into her body to investigate the strange pull he felt when touching her.

Lin Ran discovered that his Blood Phoenix Wings could interact with other people’s blood and Bloodline Power, then used their connection to investigate and treat a red-haired woman who turned out to be Ma Xiaotao. His attempt to save her transformed his wings and intensified her evil fire, leaving him unsure whether he had helped or harmed her.

• Lin Ran examined the woman with his Soul Power, noticed he could influence her blood and Bloodline Power, and then sensed her body growing hot as he channeled Nirvana power into her.
• The woman’s Soul Power developed a scorching black evil fire that affected Lin Ran, and he recognized her as Ma Xiaotao, Shrek Academy dean Yan Shaozhe’s disciple.
• Lin Ran activated the Nirvana soul bone skill, causing Ma Xiaotao’s Soul Power and flames to erupt while evil power threatened to invade his Spiritual Sea.
• The Illusory Sea Pearl purified the evil mist into an Ultimate evil attribute, which Lin Ran absorbed into his Blood Phoenix Wings and transformed into an External Soul Bone with Ultimate Life and evil attributes.
• Ma Xiaotao’s crimson flames were consumed by black fire and her hair turned blackish-red, leaving Lin Ran worried that she had become a Fallen Fire Phoenix still vulnerable to evil influence.

• Lin Ran placed a restriction on Ma Xiaotao before she woke, then used it to stop her when she attacked him.
• Ma Xiaotao apologized and learned that her martial soul had changed, giving her both evil and fire attributes.
• Lin Ran told Ma Xiaotao she had become an Evil Soul Master, and she insisted she could return to Shrek Academy for a cure.
• Lin Ran revealed his identity and argued that Shrek Academy could not help her, then described how her future might force her friends and teachers to kill her.
• Ma Xiaotao grew desperate and asked Lin Ran to cleanse the evil thoughts in her heart.

Lin Ran pressured Ma Xiaotao into offering herself in exchange for his continued help suppressing her dangerous martial soul. He required her to leave Shrek Academy and serve him for thirty years, leaving Ma Xiaotao relieved that he did not demand anything more intimate.

• Lin Ran rejected Ma Xiaotao's offers of soul bones, soul rings, and heavenly treasures, then said he would let her go after she repaid her debt for being saved.
• When Ma Xiaotao asked whether he would let her become an Evil Soul Master, Lin Ran said he had no obligation to prevent it and warned her to cherish her remaining reason.
• Ma Xiaotao offered herself to Lin Ran, then realized her clothes had burned away and dressed while he watched.
• Lin Ran told Ma Xiaotao that she must leave Shrek Academy and serve him for thirty years, after which he would restore her freedom.
• Lin Ran promised not to make Ma Xiaotao participate in actions against Shrek Academy, but threatened to remove his suppression of her martial soul if she harbored other intentions.

• Tang Ya told Lin Ran she had reclaimed the Tang Sect residence, and Lin Ran encouraged her to begin a new life.

After returning to the Body Sect, Lin Ran resumed his intense training and realized his mission required him to fight opponents at every cultivation level. He helped Huo Yun'er begin cultivating the Yin Volume of the Longevity Skill, then sparred with her and advanced his mission progress.

• Lin Ran returned to the Body Sect with Du Busi, leaving Ma Xiaotao in the care of a Titled Douluo elder and arranging to replenish her restrictions each month.
• After ten days of training, Lin Ran considered challenging Long Aotian and discovered his mission required him to fight at least ten soul masters at every cultivation level, including Soul Scholars.
• Lin Ran offered to help Huo Yun'er cultivate the Yin Volume of the Longevity Skill, and she successfully began circulating its Soul Power.
• Lin Ran took Huo Yun'er to the courtyard to test her new cultivation, defeated her in three seconds, and increased his mission progress by one.

Lin Ran guided children at the Body Sect while, a year later, Dai Yuhao escaped the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and set out to find Tian Meng. Tian Meng also escaped the Star Dou Great Forest but killed a Titled Douluo while attempting to use him as a host, while Huo Yuhao waited outside the forest and reconsidered joining Shrek early.

• Lin Ran visited the Body Sect's preschool class and challenged seventy-three children through his practical guidance.
• The Duchess discovered Dai Yuhao had disappeared, but the White Tiger Duke's Mansion failed to find him.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm escaped the forest's core region and tried to possess a Titled Douluo, whose body could not endure his immense Mental Power and died.
• Huo Yuhao roasted fish outside the forest, planned to join the Tang Sect, and decided against enrolling early at Shrek Academy because he wanted to share a dorm with Wu Tong later.

• Huo Yuhao met Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and offered to make him a Soul Spirit, but Sky Dream entered his Spiritual Sea using his own method.
• A gray fragment of Electrolux's Divine Sense arrived and drove back Sky Dream's spiritual power before entering Huo Yuhao's body.
• Huo Yuhao, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and Electrolux examined Huo Yuhao's memories, revealing his reincarnation and past life.
• Electrolux reassured Huo Yuhao that he remained his disciple, then questioned whether Huo Yuhao had reflected on his previous life.
• Huo Yuhao vowed to become a god, prevent past tragedies, and restore the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda.
• Electrolux urged Huo Yuhao never to forget his original intention, and Huo Yuhao recalled Lin Ran's final words.

Huo Yuhao planned to recover his legs and help Elder Yi by earning money and buying the Blade of Life, while Lin Ran began his Body Martial Soul second awakening. Lin Ran achieved a Gold-level Awakening and started cultivating the second layer of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

• Huo Yuhao told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm they would go to Shrek City to earn money, then travel to Star Luo City for the Blade of Life before considering the Extreme North.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm led Huo Yuhao to the dead Titled Douluo he had killed, and Huo Yuhao recovered the man’s Soul Tool, coins, bank cards, and a roughly forty-thousand-year-old Sky Green Vine Soul Bone.
• Lin Ran told Du Busi he was ready to attempt his Body Martial Soul second awakening, and Du Busi agreed to stand guard.
• Lin Ran absorbed the life force from a Golden Ancient Tree branch, triggering a Gold-level Awakening that Du Busi recognized as unprecedented in the Body Sect.
• Lin Ran began cultivating the second layer of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, and another Golden Ancient Tree branch began to glow.

Lin Ran’s cultivation drew on the Life Goddess’s power, prompting her to manifest through the Golden Ancient Tree branch and discover his potential. She and the God of Destruction discussed Lin Ran’s future and Tang Wu Tong’s presence on the Douluo Continent.

• The Golden Ancient Tree branch released a green radiance that healed Du Busi’s hidden injuries and strengthened Lin Ran’s vitality.
• The Life Goddess sensed someone using power of her origin and manifested from the branch before Lin Ran and Du Busi.
• Du Busi greeted the Life Goddess as the Goddess of Astounding Wisdom, while Lin Ran wondered whether he had mistaken her identity.
• The Life Goddess told the God of Destruction that nine-year-old Lin Ran had great potential, and he suggested other gods might pass their divine positions to him.
• The Life Goddess refused to probe Lin Ran’s memories and soul, reassuring the God of Destruction that nothing about him seemed unusual.
• The Life Goddess mentioned that Lin Ran and Tang Wu Tong were the same age and both on the Douluo Continent, prompting the God of Destruction to criticize Tang San for sending Wu Tong down.

The Life Goddess left a dormant strand of Divine Sense with Lin Ran, while the God of Destruction agreed to watch whether Tang San had interfered in the Lower Realm. Lin Ran concealed the strand’s weakness with the Illusory Sea Pearl, and Tang San noticed its contact with Douluo Continent and decided to question the other God Kings.

• The Life Goddess persuaded the God of Destruction that leaving a powerless strand of Divine Sense to guide Lin Ran would be permitted, and he agreed to monitor Tang San for interference.
• The Life Goddess appeared in the Body Sect’s secret chamber, declined to make Lin Ran her successor, and left her Divine Sense inside a branch of the Golden Ancient Tree for him to consult.
• Lin Ran took the branch back to his room and used the Illusory Sea Pearl to probe it, discovering that its dormant Divine Sense was only as strong as a Titled Douluo.
• Lin Ran concealed the Divine Sense from his own secrets, made the branch into a bracelet, and looked forward to meeting Wang Dong’er.
• Tang San detected the Life Goddess’s contact with Douluo Continent through the God Realm Central Hub and decided to question the God Kings about a possible breach of regulations.

• Tang San questioned the Life Goddess about contacting the Lower Realm, then decided to have Wu Tong approach the child she had noticed.
• Tang San contacted Niu Tian and Titan and explained that Tang Wu Tong had cultivated a clone technique so she could become a god.
• Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er emerged from Sea Sky Pavilion as twins, and Tang San instructed Niu Tian and Titan to conceal their origin and send them to separate schools.
• Niu Tian worried about the clone technique and the twins' eventual fusion, but chose to trust Tang San's plan.
• Lin Ran spent the month cultivating, reading, and challenging members of the Body Sect, completing all but his Titled Douluo-stage challenge mission.

Lin Ran quickly mastered the Body Sect’s combat techniques and left to visit Body College, while Du Busi warned him against sensual pleasures. A week later, Lin Ran returned to Heaven Dou City and reunited with Tang Ya, whose embrace was witnessed by Vina.

• Du Busi gave Lin Ran the first Body Sect combat technique, and Lin Ran mastered it immediately by using his Martial Soul to channel Bloodline Power into a punch.
