• Tang Ya compared the complete manual with the Tang Sect version and found that her copy lacked core cultivation methods and instructions.
• Luo Can suggested Tang San had removed the missing content to protect the Tang Sect’s influence, planting doubt in Tang Ya’s mind.

• Qian Renxue and Ju Zi were shocked by Luo Can’s account, and the three spent the night planning how to deal with Tang San.

• Luo Can brought Tang Ya to Cliff of Desperate Fate, where his White Silkworm disciples described their cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and their gratitude to him.
• Tang Ya questioned why Luo Can trained ordinary children, and he explained that the Fate Defying Pavilion aimed to help people change their destinies.

• Tang Ya declared that she would correct Ancestor Tang San, and Luo Can brought her back to Fate Defying Valley as Qian Renxue and Ju Zi watched her regain her cheerfulness.

After a week of helping Tang Ya settle into Fate Defying Valley, Luo Can caught a powerful Soul Tool and used his accumulated Points to upgrade his system permission and Fishing Spot. The upgrades made him a level ninety-six Super Douluo and strengthened the valley’s defenses, while his next permission upgrade remained far off.

• Luo Can and the others helped Tang Ya adjust to life in Fate Defying Valley, and she grew to trust Qian Renxue and Ju Zi while feeling increasingly at home there.

• Luo Can spent another 200,000 Points to upgrade Fate-Defying Lake, strengthening the valley’s Spatial Barrier enough to block God King-level divine sense.
• Luo Can checked that the next permission level required one million Points and decided to wait before using Biological Enhancement.

Luo Can rewarded the White Silkworm Core Disciples for passing their second test, gave them a new test, and reviewed the Fate Defying Pavilion’s progress. He then fused with the Golden Flame Dragon Right Arm Bone, unlocking an incomplete Battle Armor ability.

• Qian Renxue tried to form a contract with the Purple Moon Phoenix Battle Armor, but an invisible force repelled her mental power.

Luo Can used his newly awakened Blessing ability to enhance Qian Renxue’s Angel Head Bone and Ju Zi’s First Spirit Ring. The enhancements delighted both women, who then drew him into an intimate “repayment.”

• Qian Renxue’s darkness conflicted with the Purple Moon Phoenix Battle Armor, while Ju Zi’s mental power neither bonded with nor activated it, so Luo Can returned it to System Space.
• Luo Can told Qian Renxue and Ju Zi that his new Blessing could randomly improve cultivation-related abilities and invited them to try it.
• Luo Can spent 2,000 Points to raise Qian Renxue’s Angel Head Bone by one year and spent 10 Points to increase Ju Zi’s First Spirit Ring by 100 years.

• Luo Can gave Ju Zi the Battle Armor and Soul Spirit, and she welcomed the gifts.
• Luo Can left Ju Zi's room and went to Qian Renxue's room to spar.

Luo Can prepared the Fate Defying Pavilion, his shop, and his disciples for his long absence, then witnessed Ju Zi successfully contract with an Emerald Swan named A-Cui. The chapter ended with A-Cui agreeing to trust Ju Zi’s promise not to hunt Spirit Beasts and to take her to find Bi Ji.

• Luo Can told Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Tang Ya that he would leave for two to six months, and promised Tang Ya he would take her to see Tang San when he returned.
• Ju Zi emerged from her wooden house with seven Spirit Rings and summoned the Emerald Swan, who agreed to her contract after confirming Ju Zi would keep her promises.
• Ju Zi introduced the Emerald Swan, A-Cui, to Luo Can and happily announced that her contract had succeeded.
