• Lin Ran encouraged Xiao Xiao about her height and suggested she experiment with splitting her Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron into more cauldrons.

• Lin Ran told Du Busi that his third awakening drained his Bloodline Power, soul power, Mental Power, and vitality, while greatly enhancing his control and raising his attributes five to six times.
• Du Busi warned Lin Ran not to use the third awakening except in a life-or-death situation and explained that deeper Martial Soul changes mattered more than temporary strength increases.
• Lin Ran explained that he could use his domain normally and described how it shared vitality and spread damage; Du Busi imagined him challenging Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Du Busi asked Lin Ran about his level-thirty soul ring mission and offered to help him obtain a soul ring.

Lin Ran planned a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to raise his Mental Power for the Goddess of Wisdom’s trial, while considering how to expose Tang San’s interference in the Lower Realm. Back at his residence, he asked Tang Ya for the Tang Sect’s ancient manuals and urged her to preserve its legacy, upsetting Tang San’s Divine Sense.

• Lin Ran told Du Busi he would delay obtaining his third Soul Ring until he completed the Goddess of Wisdom’s trial, and Du Busi offered him several powerful Soul Bones.

• Lin Ran returned the secret arts to Tang Ya and urged her to preserve the manuals as the legacy of the Tang Sect’s predecessors, while Tang San watched angrily from Wang Qiu'er’s sea of consciousness.

Lin Ran discovered that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes had been deliberately erased from Tang Sect and Shrek records, and told Tang Ya he had found the location. Tang San grew concerned about Lin Ran’s unexpected discovery while his exhausted Divine Sense continued monitoring Tang Ya’s nightly attempts to enter Lin Ran’s room.

• Lin Ran told Tang Ya, Vina, and Wang Qiu'er that he had found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes after studying Tang Sect and Shrek records.
• Tang Ya said the Sea God had obtained immortal herbs there, while Vina wondered why he had erased the location instead of preserving access for the Tang Sect.

Lin Ran deduced that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were in Sunset Forest and prepared to visit with his teacher. He and the Life Goddess discussed Tang San’s influence over Wang Qiu’er, and Lin Ran revealed that her soul was incomplete.

• Jiang's Mother praised Jiang Nannan as a future virtuous wife, and Lin Ran agreed that she was one of the academy's most beautiful students.

Lin Ran treated Jiang Nannan’s mother with life-infusing Soul Power while Jiang Nannan watched, and afterward he walked back toward the academy with her. He teased Jiang Nannan about her mother’s stories and asked her to cook him a meal, leaving her flustered and unsure what he meant.

• Lin Ran promised to keep Jiang Nannan’s childhood stories secret in exchange for a meal she cooked, and she blushed at his remark about becoming a virtuous wife.

• Jiang Nannan explained that Ma Xiaotao and Su Tong were rivals and friends, despite their awkward behavior toward each other.
• Jiang Nannan went to cook while Lin Ran waited at the residence.
• Ma Xiaotao returned, questioned why Lin Ran was there, and complained that his restriction was making her increasingly submissive to him.
• Lin Ran explained that the restriction's influence came from Ma Xiaotao resisting its evil attribute instead of using it to comprehend the Ultimate Attribute.
• Ma Xiaotao admitted she had been wrong, and Lin Ran told her to come to her room as compensation.

Lin Ran confronted Ma Xiaotao about her resistance to the Imprint and explained how it had affected her will. He began replenishing it in her room, where Ma Xiaotao reluctantly submitted to the humiliating position he demanded.

• Ma Xiaotao questioned Lin Ran about entering the girls’ dormitory, and he reminded her that she had asked him to suppress the evil thoughts in her heart.
• Ma Xiaotao explained that the Imprint seemed to make her increasingly obedient, and Lin Ran said she could overcome its influence by comprehending an Ultimate Attribute.

• Lin Ran said he had come to replenish Ma Xiaotao’s Imprint, then argued that she owed him service under their agreement and defended making her crouch before him.
