Six-year-old Jiang Bai was taken to Niuma Village’s Awakening House to awaken his Martial Soul, hoping to inherit his mother’s spear rather than his father’s support-type Martial Soul. The Spirit Hall deacon began the ceremony, and Jiang Bai waited at the back of the line as the first child stepped into the formation.

• Jiang Bai entered the academy and found the New Student Enrollment Office, where a woman invited him inside.

• Yan and Xie Yue entered the dormitory, introduced themselves to Jiang Bai, and chose their beds.
• Yan said his martial soul was the Flame Lord, Xie Yue said his was the Moon Blade, and Jiang Bai revealed his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Jiang Bai revealed that he had the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul, then went with Yan to collect their uniforms and eat at the cafeteria. There, Yan pointed out Xie Yue’s younger sister, Hu Liena, and declared that he planned to pursue her.

• Yan and Xie Yue were surprised to learn Jiang Bai had the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and Jiang Bai explained that Spirit Hall had brought him to the academy after his mother died.

• Yan declared that he intended to pursue Hu Liena and warned Jiang Bai not to compete with him.

Jiang Bai dismissed Yan’s efforts to introduce him to Hu Liena and attended his first class, where Zhang San taught the Basic Meditation Method. He practiced alone in the academy’s back mountain, sensed clear gains in Soul Power, and estimated that he would reach rank ten in about two and a half months.

Jiang Bai encountered a crying Qian Renxue by the academy lake and tried to comfort her. Her words revealed that her mother had visited the academy to see her disciple instead of her, while Qian Daoliu watched from hiding.

• Jiang Bai worried about how to obtain his first Spirit Ring, then headed toward the cafeteria by way of the lakeside.
• Jiang Bai heard a girl crying by the lake and approached to check whether she was all right.

• Jiang Bai answered that the woman would come to see her child, prompting Qian Renxue to break down crying again.
• Qian Daoliu watched from a nearby tree as Qian Renxue said her mother had come to see her disciple, not her daughter.

• Jiang Bai stayed with Qian Renxue as she cried and tried to reassure her without revealing what he knew about her family.
• Qian Renxue insisted she was not foolish enough to harm herself, then asked Jiang Bai his name; after a misunderstanding, he introduced himself and learned hers.

• Qian Renxue left the lakeside and reunited with Qian Daoliu, who comforted her and offered her Honey Date Cake.
• Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu about Jiang Bai and asked him to investigate the newly enrolled student.

Qian Daoliu investigated Jiang Bai and decided to let him become Qian Renxue’s playmate while monitoring him. A month later, Yan and Xie Yue questioned Jiang Bai’s intense cultivation and urged him to take it easier because his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda limited him to level seventy-nine.

• Qian Renxue asked Qian Daoliu to investigate Jiang Bai, and he ordered the Worship Hall intelligence division to gather information on him.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo reported that Jiang Bai had a level-nine Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and was likely the son of Ning Fengping, an estranged Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple.
• After hearing how Jiang Bai had interacted with Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu approved him as a possible playmate and told Golden Crocodile Douluo to let events unfold while keeping watch.
• Jiang Bai spent a month studying, cultivating, and meditating with little rest, leaving Yan and Xie Yue stunned by his routine.
• Yan and Xie Yue told Jiang Bai that his support role and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda’s level-seventy-nine limit made his relentless cultivation unnecessary.

Jiang Bai teased Yan and Xie Yue before leaving to cultivate, then considered how to prepare his body and finances for his first Spirit Ring. On the way to the back mountain, he encountered Qian Renxue.

• Qian Renxue called out to Jiang Bai beneath a wisteria trellis as he walked toward the back mountain.

• Jiang Bai spent eighty-nine Gold Soul Coins on century-old Whale Rubber and said he was buying it for his roommate Yan.

Jiang Bai used Whale Rubber to strengthen his body and push his Soul Power to the level-ten bottleneck, then asked Qian Renxue to arrange his first Spirit Ring. He chose a wounded four-hundred-year Earth Fire Dragon and began absorbing its Spirit Ring, where its soul was pulled into his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

• Jiang Bai drank scalding Whale Rubber liquid, endured its effects, and found that his body and Soul Power had improved enough to reach the level-ten bottleneck.
• Yan and Xie Yue hid beneath their blankets in fear when Jiang Bai emerged from the bathroom looking flushed and powerful.
• Two and a half days later, Jiang Bai asked Qian Renxue to arrange his first Spirit Ring, and she brought him four high-quality soul beasts estimated at around four hundred years old.
• Jiang Bai chose the wounded Earth Fire Dragon, killed it, and carried its emerging Spirit Ring into Qian Renxue's villa to absorb it.
• Qian Renxue questioned whether the Spirit Ring looked unusual, but accepted a knight's assurance about the soul beasts' age and ordered the corpse cleaned up.
• Inside Jiang Bai's spiritual sea, the Earth Fire Dragon's soul saw the blue Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and was pulled into its first level.

After absorbing the Earth Fire Dragon's Spirit Ring, Jiang Bai discovered that his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda had mutated and could preserve, summon, and possess the soul beast. The chapter ended with Jiang Bai and the dragon learning that the dragon had become his absolutely loyal servant and that its growth could increase the Spirit Ring's age.

• Jiang Bai absorbed the Earth Fire Dragon's Spirit Ring, broke through to Soul Power Level thirteen, and found the ring's energy far stronger than expected.

• The pagoda revealed that the dragon could live and cultivate within its space, be summoned or used for possession, and could never harm Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai learned that his mutated Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda had bound the Fire Dragon to absolute loyalty, then returned to the dormitory after hearing Qian Renxue had gone back to Spirit City. In Spirit City, Qian Xunji lay gravely injured after Tang Hao and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast escaped, while Bibi Dong secretly prepared medicine for her teacher.

• The Fire Dragon accepted that Jiang Bai's Martial Soul had bound it as his master and returned to the pagoda in his palm.

• Qian Renxue wept beside her unconscious father as Spirit Hall's healers tried to stabilize him.
• Bibi Dong crushed her lip balm while thinking of Yu Xiaogang, then watched the medicine she had brewed for her injured teacher.

Jiang Bai reached Soul Power level fifteen as Spirit Hall named Hu Liena a candidate Saintess, prompting a public clash between them. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong demanded that nine-year-old Qian Renxue infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire, and Golden Crocodile Douluo appealed to Qian Daoliu to oppose the plan.

• Jiang Bai’s cultivation advanced to level fifteen, and he learned that the Fire Dragon’s training also increased his Soul Power.

• Bibi Dong insisted that Qian Renxue carry out the Nation-Stealing Plan in the Heaven Dou Empire, while Golden Crocodile Douluo objected that she was only nine.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo urged the silent Qian Daoliu to speak against Bibi Dong’s plan.
