Chapter Summaries

Tang San received the completed One-Word Battle Armor from the Body Sect’s Blacksmiths as he prepared to strengthen himself before the Spirit Master Tournament. The armor lacked hand pieces because the Blacksmiths could not obtain Camelot’s Half-Moon Silk, and Tang San took it away to adapt to it.

Qian Renxue handled the burdens of being Pope while Qian Ningshuang visited Pope Hall and disrupted her work with playful flirting. Bibi Dong returned with Hu Liena, waited outside a space-sealed hall, and entered at evening to find Qian Renxue working amid the flushed girls.

• Qian Ningshuang arrived at Pope Hall in a secretary-style outfit while Qian Renxue worked, and Rita asked why she had dressed that way.
• Qian Renxue pulled Qian Ningshuang close and teased her for enjoying herself while her big sister was busy, so Qian Ningshuang tried to appease her with a back massage and compliments.

Qian Ningshuang visited the captured Xiao Wu and learned that she was an artificial, soul-stitched vessel tied to Tang San rather than a genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Spirit Hall decided to use her as a vessel for the Rakshasa God, leaving Xiao Wu to serve them instead of Tang San.

Qian Ningshuang took over Pope Hall’s paperwork while Qian Renxue and Rita slept, then discovered intelligence that the Body Sect had rapidly developed One-Word Battle Armor and Spirit Souls.

Qian Ningshuang checked the progress of Hyperion and Spirit City's urgent infrastructure upgrades, which were meant to protect the city from the Mystic Heaven Palace and the Black Hand behind Tang San. The preparations were ready to begin, and trusted craftsmen were handling the surveillance devices under strict security.

Chou Xiaogang was sold into slavery and transformed into a mutilated, muzzled vicious dog by a nobleman, until he recognized Bibi Dong outside the estate. Bibi Dong was traveling toward Heaven Dou City with Hu Liena when Chou Xiaogang’s barking made her realize who he was.

• Chou Xiaogang was captured by slave traders, endured abuse in the slave market, and was bought by a nobleman.

• Bibi Dong traveled toward Heaven Dou City with Hu Liena, advising her disciple to avoid an unethical relationship.
• Bibi Dong turned toward the barking and recognized Chou Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong found Yu Xiaogang mutilated and barking in the street, and her fury nearly unleashed devastation on the city. Hu Liena calmed her by reminding her of Xue'er, but Bibi Dong left with doubts about the man she remembered, while strange auras appeared around Hu Liena and Bibi Dong.

• Bibi Dong saw that Yu Xiaogang had lost his hands and was lying on the ground, and she threatened to make the city pay.
• Hu Liena was hurt by Bibi Dong's Limit pressure and pleaded with her teacher to consider Xue'er and stop her outburst.

• Yu Xiaogang grew resentful as Bibi Dong dealt with the aftermath, and Bibi Dong noticed that his eyes seemed unfamiliar.
• Bibi Dong headed toward the Noble Mansion, unaware that silvery-white radiance passed over Hu Liena and purplish-red aura flashed across her own body.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena helped Chou Xiaogang take revenge on the noble family that had tortured him, but his vicious demands and behavior disgusted them. When Bibi Dong recoiled, Chou Xiaogang panicked and tried to restore the refined image he feared he had destroyed.

• Chou Xiaogang tormented the noble who had abused him and demanded that Bibi Dong and Hu Liena repeat his past sufferings on the man.
• Bibi Dong and Hu Liena ended the household's suffering, but Chou Xiaogang cursed them for interfering with his revenge.
• Hu Liena recoiled from Chou Xiaogang, sympathizing with what he had endured but finding him unbearable to approach.
• Chou Xiaogang noticed Bibi Dong step back and realized he had exposed the side of himself she might find revolting.
• Chou Xiaogang abandoned his revenge demands and claimed he would forgive the noble, hoping Bibi Dong would see it as a momentary lapse.

After Bibi Dong stopped Chou Xiaogang from taking further revenge, he tried to rebuild his image with her, but she left without accepting his advances. Left alone, he dropped his act, threatened the servants, and attacked the dead noble’s corpse.

• Chou Xiaogang saw that the fat noble had died of fright, and Bibi Dong declined his suggestion to talk.
• Bibi Dong ordered the servants to take Chou Xiaogang away and clean him up, then left; Hu Liena rejected his attempt to befriend her and departed as well.
• Hu Liena secretly withdrew her mental interference after using it to keep Chou Xiaogang from recognizing her voice and to disrupt his act.
• Chou Xiaogang cursed Hu Liena, ordered the terrified servants to fetch water, and threatened to make them suffer as he had.
• Chou Xiaogang bit into the noble’s corpse, recoiled in terror at its expression, then crawled back and tore into it again.

• Hu Liena accused Yu Xiaogang of being unfilial, disloyal, and ungrateful, and said he had quickly sought marriage with another powerful woman after leaving Bibi Dong.
• Hu Liena explained that she had brought Bibi Dong to the city to face Yu Xiaogang and break free of her distorted memories, despite the danger posed by Rakshasa.
• Hu Liena urged Bibi Dong to stop deceiving herself and hiding in false memories.
• Purple-red markings appeared on Bibi Dong’s face as Rakshasa’s evil aura emerged, prompting Hu Liena to ready herself.
• Bibi Dong opened her eyes and, in a sinister voice, told Hu Liena that women should rely on men and obey womanly virtue.

Hu Liena provoked Bibi Dong to help her resist Rakshasa Divine Power, and Bibi Dong struck her before seemingly returning to normal. Hu Liena then learned from the Silver Dragon that Bibi Dong might not recover easily, while Qian Renxue confronted Gu Yuena over her dangerous method.

• Hu Liena reminded Bibi Dong that her power as a Spirit Master made feminine virtues irrelevant, intensifying Bibi Dong's struggle against Rakshasa Divine Power.
• Bibi Dong's Soul Power pierced Hu Liena, but Hu Liena sensed it had missed her vital points as Bibi Dong's evil markings vanished and she panicked over attacking her daughter.
• A flash of gold appeared around Hu Liena, and she entered a dream where she spoke with the Silver Dragon about whether Bibi Dong would recover.
• The Silver Dragon said it did not know whether Bibi Dong would return to normal by the next day and admitted that the Rakshasa Divine Power's influence would be difficult to undo.
• Qian Renxue angrily confronted Gu Yuena, who defended her actions as the fastest way to weaken Bibi Dong's bond with the Rakshasa God.

Gu Yuena challenged Qian Renxue’s plan to free Bibi Dong from Rakshasa by revealing the truth, warning that Bibi Dong might not believe them and that they might have to confront her directly. Gu Yuena explained that she was willing to make painful sacrifices for the future of the Spirit Beasts and her revenge against the God Realm.

• Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena discussed how to stop Rakshasa from descending through Bibi Dong.
• Gu Yuena warned Qian Renxue that Bibi Dong might not believe Spirit Hall’s account of her past or Yu Xiaogang’s true nature.
• Qian Renxue suggested that even a little doubt could make Bibi Dong reconsider what happened, but Gu Yuena argued that Bibi Dong saw Rakshasa as her rescuer after years of misfortune.
• Gu Yuena told Qian Renxue that their plan was the least costly option and warned that otherwise Qian Renxue might have to act against her own mother.
• Gu Yuena reflected that she followed Qian Ningshuang to secure the Spirit Beasts’ future and take revenge on the God Realm, and that she felt little pressure over Hu Liena or Bibi Dong dying.

Gu Yuena agreed to try to keep Hu Liena alive, while Qian Renxue let her proceed. The next day, Bibi Dong took Hu Liena and the others toward Heaven Dou City and made clear that Yu Xiaogang was only an old acquaintance, not someone entitled to call her Dong'er.

• Bibi Dong paralyzed Chou Xiaogang with her killing intent, called him trash, and ordered a servant to throw him onto the cart.
• Chou Xiaogang realized Bibi Dong had detected his actions and wondered why her attitude toward him had changed.
• After the group left the city, Chou Xiaogang panicked and shouted that he could not go to Heaven Dou City because Yu Yuanzhen would kill him.

• Bibi Dong listened without showing concern for Chou Xiaogang, though she looked proud when Hu Liena mentioned Qian Renxue.
• Chou Xiaogang again pleaded with Bibi Dong not to take him to Heaven Dou City.

Chou Xiaogang begged Bibi Dong to take him in, and she used her spiritual power to make him reveal his plans for revenge. His demand that she kill Qian Renxue exposed his hatred and suspicions about Bibi Dong’s past, and her applause pulled him out of the dream.

• Bibi Dong opened the Rakshasa God Trial space and told the High Priest she had killed Yu Xiaogang, body and soul.
