• Luo Can read reports on the Pavilion’s expanding stores and learned that Nan Youyou had rejected Yang Gang’s invitation, though some Nan Clan members might want to leave Dragon Town.

• Ning Rongrong revealed that her first spirit ring came from a Titan Giant Ape, and Chen Xin exclaimed in shock.

Chen Xin thanked Luo Can for teaching Ning Rongrong, while Luo Can kept his deeper teachings from her. At Luo’s Herb Shop, a Tiandou Imperial Family agent arranged a costly purchase of rare herbs, revealing Xue Ye’s attempt to win the Fate Defying Pavilion’s favor.

• Chen Xin thanked Luo Can for teaching Ning Rongrong, and Luo Can excused himself to let Chen Xin and Rongrong talk.
• Luo Can visited the busy main branch of Luo's Herb Shop in Yaowang Town and overheard Bai Ningshuang negotiating with a Tiandou Imperial Family agent.
• The agent offered a high price for rare herbs and proposed bidding up the price of the shop’s remaining Thousand-Year Ginseng at auction, then splitting the premium.
• Luo Can approved the proposal, and Bai Ningshuang accepted the agent’s terms after pretending to hesitate.
• The agent agreed to pay ten percent more than Spirit Hall’s procurement price, and Luo Can recognized the deal as Xue Ye’s attempt to befriend the Fate Defying Pavilion.

Luo Can reorganized the herb shop’s training responsibilities and returned to Fate Defying Valley, where he monitored Scarlet King’s approaching tribulation and his disciples’ progress. Meanwhile, Chen Xin spent his days with Ning Rongrong and neglected the ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples he was meant to lead.

• Bai Ningshuang reported that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family’s herb purchase had brought in 350,000 Gold Soul Coins, and Luo Can reassigned staff training to the branches while making the main store focus on training managers.
• Luo Can told Bai Ningshuang to prioritize her cultivation, then returned to Fate Defying Valley and sensed that Scarlet King’s heavenly tribulation would arrive within half a month.

• Luo Can brought Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, Wu Siduo, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, and Wang Dong'er to Fate Defying Valley to cultivate, and told Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er to observe the Scarlet King's impending tribulation.
• Luo Can sensed that Bibi Dong had emerged from seclusion and went to Qichen Academy to meet her.
• Bibi Dong showed Luo Can her improved physique, and he gave her a forty-thousand-year Vampire Demon Spider Spirit Ring to absorb.
• Bibi Dong absorbed the Spirit Ring in two hours and reached rank sixty-five.
• Luo Can gave Bibi Dong a Hundred-Thousand-Year right Leg Spirit Bone and promised to raise her to Titled Douluo within two years, while Bibi Dong tried to suppress her feelings for him.

Bibi Dong struggled with feelings for someone, and Qian Renxue suspected that person was Luo Can, while the couple agreed he would not pursue Bibi Dong unless she confessed. Three days later, the Scarlet King began its four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation as Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er watched.

• Bibi Dong struggled to suppress her growing feelings after Luo Can gave her the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone.
• Qian Renxue told Luo Can that Bibi Dong seemed troubled and suggested she might be in love with him; she said he must not pursue Bibi Dong unless she confessed first.

• The Scarlet King emerged from seclusion, declared itself ready for its tribulation, and agreed to let Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er observe.
• Luo Can gave the Scarlet King Ju Zi's improved Thunder-Attracting Disk, then the Scarlet King released its four-hundred-thousand-year aura and summoned thunderclouds over Fate-Defying Lake.

Scarlet King endured a four-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, using hellfire, the Thunder-Attracting Disk, and Fate-Defying Lake’s life energy to survive its final strike. As Scarlet King stood on the lake after the explosion, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were nearing a breakthrough in Embodying the Thunder Seed.

• Xiong Da, Ice Empress, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Golden Lion Mastiff, and the adopted fairy-herb daughters watched Scarlet King’s tribulation, and Ice Empress warned that even she had little chance of surviving one.
• Scarlet King used the Thunder-Attracting Disk and hellfire to withstand the first three lightning bolts, recovering from its injuries with Inferno Rebirth.
• The fourth lightning bolt descended as Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er began condensing thunder cores, entering the critical stage of Embodying the Thunder Seed.
• Scarlet King summoned a hell fire dragon and launched it against the final lightning dragon, but Luo Can urged Scarlet King to jump into Fate-Defying Lake when the fire dragon began losing.
• The final lightning dragon struck Scarlet King in the lake, whose life energy repaired its badly carbonized body as the two forces clashed.
• After a massive explosion and towering waves, Scarlet King emerged standing on the lake surface.

Scarlet King survived its tribulation and evolved into a Three-Headed Dragon Mastiff with fully activated True Dragon Bloodline, while Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er successfully embodied the thunder seed. Luo Can gave the girls tribulation lightning to refine and left Lake Heart Island with them after salvaging the damaged Thunder-Attracting Disk crystal.

• Scarlet King evolved after surviving its final tribulation bolt, and Luo Can confirmed that its True Dragon Bloodline had fully activated.
• Scarlet King thanked Luo Can, then dodged a duel with the Golden Lion Mastiff by agreeing to spar once it reached a hundred thousand years.
• Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er awakened after embodying the thunder seed, gaining stronger amplification and the ability to launch ranged thunder attacks.
• Luo Can caught the exhausted girls, restored their strength with Fate Reversal Water, and gave them a tribulation thunder crystal to refine cautiously.
• Luo Can collected the cracked Thunder-Attracting Disk crystal, noted that Ju Zi could reinforce it, and left Lake Heart Island with Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er absorbed Tribulation Lightning Power, evolving their Thunder Seeds and wrecking the courtyard while testing their enhanced abilities. Luo Can studied Thunderclap Bombardment Fist, found his rank made its cultivation difficult, and promised the girls stronger lightning after they finished the Crystal Core.

• Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er absorbed a trace of Tribulation Lightning Power from the Crystal Core, turning their Thunder Seeds purple and greatly strengthening their Thunder Aura.
• Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er spent their enhanced power recklessly, damaging the courtyard and exhausting themselves.
• Luo Can studied Thunderclap Bombardment Fist and concluded that his rank ninety-nine strength made it difficult for him to cultivate the technique.
• Qian Renxue confronted Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er about the ruined courtyard, and Luo Can ordered them to clean it and explain the collapsed room to Tang Ya.
• Luo Can examined the girls' evolved Thunder Seeds and told them to train properly, promising higher-quality lightning after they absorbed the Crystal Core.

Luo Can inspected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples’ Soul Tool training, then received Yang Wudi’s first Mystic Water Pill and rewarded him with a Spirit Bone. He later met Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong in the herb garden and asked when Chen Xin would take the trained disciples back to the sect.

• Luo Can visited the Training Ground, learned that the ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples had mastered basic Soul Tool use and maintenance, and ordered their training to end the next day.
• Luo Can found Ju Zi, Xuan Ziwen, and Lou Gao focused on creating the first set of Battle Armor and left without interrupting them.
• Yang Wudi showed Luo Can the first Mystic Water Pill he had refined after wasting more than forty batches of ingredients, and Luo Can took it to test its effects.
• Luo Can rewarded Yang Wudi with a dark-red left arm Spirit Bone, deepening Yang Wudi’s disdain for the Clear Sky Sect.
• Luo Can met Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong in the herb garden, excused Ning Rongrong’s recent lack of cultivation, and asked when Chen Xin would take the ten disciples back to the sect.

Chen Xin discovered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples had quickly mastered the Soul Tools, while Ning Rongrong chose to stay and cultivate with Luo Can. Luo Can gave her the first three levels of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and a Mystic Water Pill, which raised her Soul Power to level fourteen as it cleansed her body.

• Ning Rongrong told Chen Xin she had had enough fun and wanted to focus on cultivation, so he planned to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect the next morning.
• Chen Xin assessed the disciples' Soul Tool skills and repairs, praised them, and resolved to have Fengzhi train them after their return.

• Luo Can gave Ning Rongrong a Mystic Water Pill, which caused her pain as it cleansed her body and raised her Soul Power from level thirteen to fourteen.
• Ning Rongrong scrubbed off the foul-smelling grime, and Luo Can reassured her that the detoxification would happen only once.

Luo Can taught Ning Rongrong the Mysterious Heaven Skill and helped her memorize its circulation routes. At the Soul Tool Hall, he advised Ju Zi, Xuan Ziwen, and Lou Gao to improve their metal forging before attempting to create Battle Armor again.

• Luo Can guided Ning Rongrong through the Mysterious Heaven Skill until she had memorized its circulation routes.
• Chen Xin led ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples away from Baican Village after they finished learning about Soul Tools.
• Ju Zi, Xuan Ziwen, and Lou Gao tested their second Firefly Battle Armor imitation and found that it still lacked the original's key qualities.
• Luo Can suggested that they design their own Battle Armor rather than fixate on copying Firefly.
• Luo Can identified the forged metal's low density, impurities, and lack of spirituality as likely causes of failure, so the three researchers decided to focus on improving the material first.

Luo Can checked on Yu Xiaogang and saw him reach Shrek Academy after leaving Nuoding City. Flender, furious over a rival academy nearby, rushed out to greet his old friend.

• Luo Can gave Ju Zi the damaged thunder-attracting disk and crystal core, and she planned to study them for a level 9 upgrade.
• Luo Can used the Dragon Seal to watch Yu Xiaogang travel with a merchant caravan toward Suotuo City.
• Yu Xiaogang walked to Shrek Academy and asked Li Yusong to tell Flender that his old friend had arrived.
• Flender lamented that Dugu Bo's academy next door threatened Shrek's finances and student recruitment.
• Flender rushed to the entrance, greeted Yu Xiaogang, and punched him in the chest while chiding him for taking so long to visit.

Yu Xiaogang reunited with Flender at Shrek Academy and concealed that Luo Yan’s help had allowed him to reach level forty. He arranged for Tang San and the others to enroll once Flender recruited more students, then secured Flender and Zhao Wuji’s help in hunting a thousand-year dragon-type Spirit Beast.

• Yu Xiaogang told Flender he had reached level forty, while privately keeping Luo Yan’s role in his breakthrough secret.
• Luo Can watched Yu Xiaogang take credit for his progress and decided not to use the Dragon Seal against him yet.

• Yu Xiaogang asked Flender to help him hunt a thousand-year dragon-type Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Forest.
• Zhao Wuji joined Flender and Yu Xiaogang, and the three agreed to leave for the Star Dou Forest in three days.

Luo Can approved several disciples’ requests to learn the Thunderclap Bombardment Fist while continuing his plans for Yu Xiaogang and Fate Defying Pavilion. After Ju Zi delivered the sealed Tribulation Lightning Crystal Core and agreed to visit Spirit Hall with him in two years, she spent the night with Luo Can.

• Luo Can severed his connection to Yu Xiaogang’s Dragon Seal and planned to support his cultivation with another bottle of pills in two years.
• Wu Sidu and Tang Ya asked to learn the Thunderclap Bombardment Fist, and Luo Can gave them its manual and Electric Special Training Devices.
• Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan also asked to learn the fist, but Luo Can told them to master their current Self-Created Soul Skills first.
• Ju Zi returned with the sealed Tribulation Lightning Crystal Core and told Luo Can that Bibi Dong had asked her about Soul Spirit contracts.
• Luo Can invited Ju Zi to accompany him to Spirit Hall in two years, and she accepted.
• Ju Zi slipped into Luo Can’s bed that night, and the two became intimate.

Luo Can discussed Yu Xiaogang’s growth and the future Heaven Dou Palace Coup with Qian Renxue while Ju Zi returned to Battle Armor research. After reviewing the Pavilion’s progress and the difficulty of refining Mystic Water Pills, Luo Can decided to approach the Shui Clan in Skywater City about joining the Fate Defying Pavilion.

• Luo Can told Qian Renxue he planned to help Xue Qinghe stage a coup when the time came, partly to seize control of the Heaven Dou Empire and potentially eliminate Tang San.
• Ju Zi, Xuan Ziwen, and Lou Gao redesigned a Battle Armor set and began forging its Blue Nurturing Copper, Magic Silver, and auxiliary metals.
• Luo Can observed the first six Fire Starter Mark I Soul Tool Mechas undergoing tests and learned that all 1,500 Soul Tools ordered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been delivered, while the Hybrid Plasma Cannons were withheld.
• Yang Wudi produced only seventeen Mystic Water Pills in a month despite using more than two hundred sets of ingredients, prompting Luo Can to conclude that the Breaking Clan could not mass-produce them.
• Luo Can decided to visit Skywater City and persuade the Shui Clan to join the Fate Defying Pavilion so water-element Spirit Masters could refine Mystic Water Pills.

Luo Can gave Ning Rongrong and his disciples a break, then planned to bring the Shui Clan into his organization to improve Mystic Water Pill production. His plans were interrupted when the Dragon Seal sent word that Yu Xiaogang’s body had collapsed while absorbing a dragon-type Spirit Ring.

• Luo Can visited Ning Rongrong, praised her month of cultivation, and promised to let Xiao Xiao and the others visit her.
• Luo Can gave his six disciples several days off and examined Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong’er’s strengthened Thunder Seeds; Xiao Xiao accidentally scorched the courtyard and was ordered to clean it.
• Luo Can told Qian Renxue he planned to bring the Shui Clan behind Skywater Academy under his control because water-element Spirit Masters were suited to refining Mystic Water Pills.
• The Dragon Seal sent Luo Can an urgent message that Yu Xiaogang’s body had collapsed while absorbing a dragon-type Spirit Ring of just over four thousand years.

Luo Can used the Dragon Seal to save Yu Xiaogang when absorbing a four-thousand-year Spirit Ring nearly killed him, helping Luo Sanpao awaken more of its Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline. Yu Xiaogang survived and gained his fourth Spirit Ring, while Luo Can ended the chapter fishing at Lake Heart Island.

• Yu Xiaogang began absorbing a four-thousand-year Golden-Scaled Dragon Beast Spirit Ring, but its energy severely injured him and Luo Sanpao.
• Luo Can sent power through the Dragon Seal, which stabilized the Spirit Ring energy and eased Yu Xiaogang's injuries.
• Yu Xiaogang reached level forty-one and gained his fourth Spirit Ring as Luo Sanpao grew larger, gained golden scales and lightning, and partially awakened its Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline.
• Yu Xiaogang lost consciousness, so Flender carried him toward the forest's outskirts while Zhao Wuji ran after them.
• Luo Can told Qian Renxue that Yu Xiaogang could still perform the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Flender and Liu Erlong, though Luo Sanpao would be stronger.
• After spending the night with Qian Renxue, Luo Can went to Lake Heart Island and began fishing.
