The next morning, Su Ming and Tang San set out for Nuoding City with separate paths to Work-Study Student enrollment, while Tang San resented Old Jack’s preference for Su Ming.

As Old Jack led Su Ming and Tang San toward Nuoding Academy, Su Ming also recounted Tang Hao’s contradictory instructions about Tang San’s two Martial Souls.

Old Jack brought Su Ming and Tang San to Nuoding Academy, where the gatekeeper tried to reject Tang San’s certificate and deny them entry. As Su Ming wrote about the confrontation in his Diary, Ah Yin learned that Tang San had lived a previous life in the Tang Sect and began questioning whether he was truly her son.

• Old Jack presented the boys’ certificates, but the gatekeeper claimed the academy would accept only the child with the official Work-Study Student certificate.

• Old Jack gave Su Ming and Tang San money and headed home after they thanked him.

Yu Xiaogang deduced that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls and tried to recruit him as his disciple, while Tang San secretly considered killing him to protect his secret. Su Ming’s Diary explained that Yu Xiaogang’s theory was flawed, leaving the women who read it eager for more.

• After completing Tang San and Su Ming’s enrollment, Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San to accept him as his master.
• Yu Xiaogang reasoned that Tang San’s Innate Full Soul Power and Blue Silver Grass meant he must have a second, powerful Martial Soul.
• Tang San hid his right hand and considered silencing Yu Xiaogang and Su Ming, but Yu Xiaogang’s belief that Blue Silver Grass could achieve great things impressed him.
• Su Ming wrote in the Diary that Tang San had developed killing intent because Yu Xiaogang had guessed his Twin Martial Souls secret, and revealed that the second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Su Ming explained that Dugu Bo later offered a different theory for Twin Martial Souls, and that Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass carried the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor.

At Nuoding Academy, Tang San became Yu Xiaogang’s disciple and declared him a father, while Su Ming rejected the idea of joining them as a disciple. Su Ming began recording the exchange for the women watching his live stream, and Yu Xiaogang praised his own theories.

• The women discussed the harsh conditions for Twin Martial Souls and judged Tang San’s urge to kill Yu Xiaogang as rash, while noting the danger of Tang Hao and Spirit Hall becoming involved.
• Tang San knelt and asked Yu Xiaogang to accept him as a disciple, then called him a father because a teacher was like a father for life.
• Yu Xiaogang invited Su Ming to become his disciple, and Tang San encouraged him so Su Ming would be less likely to reveal the Twin Martial Souls secret.
• Su Ming activated the Diary’s screen recording, and a new rule promised a low-tier random reward to female leads who watched his live stream from beginning to end.

• Su Ming asked Yu Xiaogang about his Soul Power and how he had researched his theories despite his weak strength.
• Yu Xiaogang said he had used Spirit Hall's data as the basis for his theories, and Su Ming accused him of passing off copied work as his own before leaving.

• Liu Erlong felt conflicted upon realizing Yu Xiaogang's theories were not original, while Ning Rongrong judged his failure to cite his sources as contemptible.
• Su Ming privately celebrated embarrassing Yu Xiaogang and reasoned that sects kept established cultivation knowledge secret to maintain an advantage over commoners.

Su Ming’s Diary explained why Yu Xiaogang published Spirit Hall’s theories, was forced to leave his clan, and sought a prodigy like Tang San to restore his reputation. Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were relieved when the entry moved on from Bibi Dong’s past, while the female leads questioned whether Yu Xiaogang deserved credit for Tang San’s future success.

• Su Ming explained that Yu Xiaogang wanted a gifted disciple to inherit his theories and prove his worth, and that Tang San’s appearance had prompted him to seek a pupil.
• Su Ming argued that Tang San could become a Titled Douluo without Yu Xiaogang, since Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect could provide guidance and support.

Bibi Dong realized that the Mysterious Heaven Skill could transform Spirit Hall’s power and considered how to obtain it without provoking Qian Daoliu or exposing the Diary. At Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu’s unexpected offer to buy a quilt with Su Ming changed the expected dormitory events, while the Diary revealed her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
