Long Zhanye's Heavenly Eye showed him two Soul Beasts fighting, drawing him and his companions to a clearing near Star Dou Great Forest's Core Area. He resolved to save the badly wounded Lion Mastiff despite Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun's warnings, as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion prepared to finish it off.

• Long Zhanye received a vivid vision of a golden three-eyed Soul Beast fighting a strange bluish-green, black-pawed canine and rushed toward the forest's Core Area.
• Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun chased after Long Zhanye, worried that he had run into danger alone.
• Long Zhanye found the Three-Eyed Golden Lion overpowering the wounded Soul Beast, which Old Man Gu suspected was a rare mutant Lion Mastiff.
• Old Man Gu identified the golden beast as the Emperor Auspicious Beast and warned that interfering could provoke the Fierce Beasts guarding her.
• Long Zhanye declared that his Heavenly Eye's premonition meant he and the Lion Mastiff were fated, and decided to save it.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion gathered golden light in her third eye to deliver the final blow.

Long Zhanye used his Chaos Demon Light to rescue the wounded Lion Mastiff from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and flee the clearing with Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun. As they raced toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, the furious Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff and Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared in pursuit.

• Long Zhanye's Heavenly Eye clashed with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's third eye, taking a trace of her Power of Luck while she received fragments of his painful human memories.
• Shaken by Long Zhanye's memories, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated, giving him an opening to unleash his First Soul Skill, Chaos Demon Light.
• Long Zhanye blinded and isolated the others' spiritual perception, rushed into the clearing, and carried the wounded Lion Mastiff away.
• Long Zhanye ordered Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun to flee with him, and they ran toward the forest's outskirts while carrying the Lion Mastiff.
• The Chaos Demon Light faded, and the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff and Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared furiously as the four fugitives continued their desperate escape.

After escaping the Star Dou Great Forest with the injured Soul Beast they had taken from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Long Zhanye and the others brought it to Old Man Gu for treatment. Old Man Gu discovered signs of True Dragon Bloodline in the creature, named it the Green-Eyed Dragon Lion Mastiff, and watched it eagerly eat Sugar Cubes.

• Long Zhanye and his companions reached the Body Sect after fleeing the Star Dou Great Forest, then Long Zhanye asked Old Man Gu to save the badly injured Soul Beast.
• Old Man Gu treated the creature's wounds, stabilized its condition, and recognized it as a Lion Mastiff with an unusual aura in its blood.
• Old Man Gu identified the aura as belonging to the True Dragon Bloodline, though he could not explain how it had appeared in the Soul Beast.
• Old Man Gu named the creature the Green-Eyed Dragon Lion Mastiff, and Long Zhanye tried offering it ordinary food, which it refused.
• Long Zhanye offered three Sugar Cubes, and the Green-Eyed Dragon Lion Mastiff ate them eagerly, astonishing Old Man Gu.

Over three months, Long Zhanye recovered, studied under Old Man Gu, and deepened his understanding of his Body Martial Soul and the Nine Body Secrets. Old Man Gu sent him to Star Luo City to buy medicine and study with Yang Yangang, giving him a chance to travel near the border where his older brother was stationed.

• Tang San recovered and became Long Zhanye’s devoted companion, though it remained fascinated by his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul and insisted on eating three sugar cubes each day.
• Old Man Gu taught Long Zhanye foundational knowledge about Soul Power, spiritual power, medicines, Soul Beasts, and the Nine Body Secrets.
• After three months, Old Man Gu said Long Zhanye had learned the foundations and proposed sending Zhua Yun to obtain a medicinal ingredient.
• Long Zhanye volunteered to fetch the medicine, hoping to travel near the border and possibly see his brother, Long Zhantian.
• Old Man Gu directed Long Zhanye to buy the ingredient from Yang Yangang at the Yang Family Hundred Herbs Hall in Star Luo City.
• Old Man Gu gave Long Zhanye a letter and instructed him to stay with Yang Yangang for several months or longer to study medicinal principles and their connection to Martial Souls.

Old Man Gu revealed that Tang San possessed both Fire and Destruction attributes, then asked Long Zhanye to demonstrate his Heavenly Eye’s Body Martial Soul Secondary Awakening. Long Zhanye manifested a Black Iron-level awakening, shocking Old Man Gu, while he himself felt its power purifying and strengthening his abilities.

• Old Man Gu told Long Zhanye that Tang San was a juvenile Soul Beast with Fire and Destruction attributes and warned that its power carried risks.
• Old Man Gu explained the Transform Secret and the four recognized awakening levels, then asked Long Zhanye to show his Heavenly Eye’s awakening.
• Long Zhanye gathered his Soul Power and spiritual power into his Heavenly Eye, causing Chaos-gray light to surround and lift him.
• The gray light contracted into a dark-black aura as Long Zhanye’s Heavenly Eye opened, and Old Man Gu fainted from shock.
• Zhua Yun caught Old Man Gu, who lamented that Long Zhanye had achieved only the lowest, Black Iron-level awakening.
• Long Zhanye sensed that the awakening purified and condensed his powers, sharpened his senses, and improved his control over Chaos Power.

Long Zhanye’s Black Iron Level awakening proved far stronger and more unusual than its outward appearance suggested, prompting Old Man Gu to reconsider his judgment. After preparing for his journey to Star Luo City, Long Zhanye left with Xiahou Ling’s remains strapped to his back, while Old Man Gu planned to seek another solution for his awakening.

• Zhua Yun urged Old Man Gu to examine Long Zhanye’s dense black aura, which indicated an enhancement well beyond an ordinary Black Iron Level awakening.
• Old Man Gu sensed the unusual strength of Long Zhanye’s awakening and wondered whether the Heavenly Eye made it follow different ranks from the usual iron, bronze, silver, and gold levels.
• Old Man Gu told Long Zhanye to withdraw his Martial Soul, remember the power, and make use of the awakening; Long Zhanye felt a new solidity and strength in his body.
• Long Zhanye packed supplies for his trip to Star Luo City, strapped on the coffin-shaped Soul Tool holding Xiahou Ling’s remains, and said farewell to Elder Xu.
• When Long Zhanye visited Old Man Gu to say goodbye, he explained that he was carrying the coffin because he did not trust Old Man Gu not to tamper with its contents.

Long Zhanye left the Body Sect and traveled toward Star Luo City, stopping in Shrek City to explore its famous auction houses. He arrived curious about the rare goods there and hopeful he might find something to help him recover or grow stronger.

• Old Man Gu warned Long Zhanye to conceal his unusual eyes and Martial Soul, then gave him a mask and hat; Zhua Yun wished him well as he departed with Tang San and the coffin.
• Long Zhanye traveled on foot through roads, forests, and towns, with Tang San keeping watch and the coffin discouraging troublemakers.
• On the seventh day, Long Zhanye searched near the Heaven Dou Empire border for news of his brother Long Zhantian but found no definite information.
• Long Zhanye reached Shrek City, concealed his face, and entered the bustling city with Tang San and the coffin.
• Long Zhanye decided to visit a major auction house and began asking passersby for directions.

Long Zhanye attended an auction, won a fourth-grade Milk Bottle, and watched a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone sell for a staggering price. After leaving the auction house with Tang San, he was twice targeted by a spiritual probe while walking through Shrek City.

• Long Zhanye watched the auction and bid eight thousand nine hundred Gold Soul Coins to win a fourth-grade Milk Bottle.
• A Ten Thousand Year Deep Sea Orca Left Arm Bone sold to a buyer in a private room for one million nine hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, leaving Long Zhanye reflecting on the value and risks of Spirit Bones.
• Long Zhanye completed the purchase backstage, then left the auction house with Tang San and headed into Shrek City's busy streets.
• A spiritual probe swept toward Long Zhanye, and he flicked a strand of spiritual power back at its owner, forcing the probe to withdraw.
• The same source sent another, stronger spiritual probe toward Long Zhanye before he had gone twenty steps.

Long Zhanye confronted Huo Yuhao, the grilled-fish vendor, for probing him twice with mental power. Huo Yuhao learned that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had once chosen Long Zhanye as his ideal host, while his curiosity and pride drove him to probe Long Zhanye again.

• Long Zhanye sensed a second mental probe, found Huo Yuhao at a grilled fish stall, and demanded to know why he was spying on him.
• Huo Yuhao apologized and offered Long Zhanye a grilled fish, claiming his unusual appearance had sparked his curiosity.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Huo Yuhao that Long Zhanye had once been his first choice as a host because of his exceptional talent and Twin Body Martial Souls.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm recounted hearing that Long Zhanye's Martial Soul had been crippled, his father killed, and his mother lost, leaving him supposedly near death.
• Ice Empress questioned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about Long Zhanye's restored strength, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm admitted he did not know how Long Zhanye had recovered.
• Huo Yuhao's pride and desire to test Long Zhanye prompted him to release the second mental probe that had angered Long Zhanye.

Long Zhanye confronted Wang Dong after Tang San took a grilled fish, but Huo Yuhao’s attempt to calm the dispute made Long Zhanye suspect that Huo Yuhao knew his identity. The argument escalated, and Long Zhanye seized Wang Dong by the throat, leaving her dangling helplessly.

• Tang San stole a grilled fish from Huo Yuhao’s stall, and Wang Dong kicked it, making Long Zhanye turn back in anger.
• Long Zhanye confronted Wang Dong, while Huo Yuhao tried to settle the matter by offering the fish as a treat.
• Long Zhanye realized Huo Yuhao had called him “Brother Long” despite their supposed first meeting and demanded to know how he knew his surname.
• Huo Yuhao claimed he had guessed, but Wang Dong mocked Long Zhanye and urged Huo Yuhao to leave with her.
• Long Zhanye lost his temper and grabbed Wang Dong by the throat, lifting her off the ground.

Long Zhanye brutally beat Wang Dong after demanding an apology, but she fought back with her butterfly-wing Soul Skills. He repelled her attacks with the Azure Underworld Dagger and continued assaulting her, while her Light of the Butterfly God only managed to make him pause briefly.

• Long Zhanye demanded that Wang Dong apologize, rejected Huo Yuhao's plea for mercy, and kicked her into a stall when she refused.
• Wang Dong rose from the wreckage and attacked Long Zhanye with her Wing Guillotine, but he blocked it with the Azure Underworld Dagger.
• Long Zhanye seized Wang Dong's ankle and repeatedly smashed her into the ground until she was badly injured.
• Wang Dong used Light of the Butterfly God to release a storm of golden blades, and Long Zhanye deflected most of them with his dagger.

Long Zhanye badly injured Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao stepped in to protect her despite Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's warning. As Long Zhanye attacked Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao returned with Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan to confront him.

• Huo Yuhao's Mental Interference had no effect on Long Zhanye, who struck Wang Dong into a wall and left her severely injured.
• Xiao Xiao witnessed Wang Dong's injury and ran to Shrek Academy to get help.
• Long Zhanye threatened to kill Wang Dong, but Huo Yuhao used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and Mysterious Jade Hand to redirect his punch into a wall.
• Huo Yuhao refused Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's advice to retreat and challenged Long Zhanye, who mocked his missing Fourth Soul Ring.
• Long Zhanye attacked Huo Yuhao with the Azure Underworld Dagger, and Huo Yuhao dodged with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
• Xiao Xiao returned with Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, pointing out Long Zhanye as the attacker.

Long Zhanye used Soul Tools to hold off Xu Sanshi, then faced Beibei when he joined the fight. As the two Shrek students coordinated their attacks, Long Zhanye activated his External Soul Bone skill, and an invisible black curtain covered the sky.

• Beibei and Xu Sanshi arrived to find Wang Dong badly injured and Huo Yuhao retreating from Long Zhanye.
• Xu Sanshi attacked Long Zhanye, but Long Zhanye used a Soul Power Backlash Shield and Corrosive Ray Cannon to keep him at a distance.
• Xu Sanshi's Mystic Turtle Shield Formation blocked Long Zhanye's corrosive rays, but Xu Sanshi could not break through his defenses and began tiring.
• Beibei joined Xu Sanshi, and their coordinated attacks put Long Zhanye under pressure.
• Long Zhanye activated his Double Pupil Technique: Heaven Gazing, spreading an invisible spiritual force field as a black curtain covered the sky.

Long Zhanye used the strange Double Pupil eyes to anticipate and evade the Shrek students’ attacks, injuring Beibei and holding off the others. Huo Yuhao discovered that the metal coffin on Long Zhanye’s back blocked spiritual detection and warned that it might be a huge Soul Tool Bomb capable of devastating the area.

• The Double Pupil eyes let Long Zhanye read Xu Sanshi and Beibei’s attacks, and he hit Beibei’s left arm with a Corrosive Ray Cannon.
• Xu Sanshi unleashed Mystic Underworld Power and charged Long Zhanye, but their shields collided in a blast that pushed them both back.
• Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan joined the assault, but Long Zhanye deflected the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Tripod and dodged Jiang Nannan’s kicks.
• Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection could not penetrate the silver-gray coffin on Long Zhanye’s back, so he warned his companions that it might be a devastating Soul Tool Bomb.

Huo Yuhao and the others attacked Long Zhanye together, believing the coffin on his back held Soul Tool Bombs powerful enough to threaten Shrek City. Long Zhanye unleashed his Mingling Domain and swiftly incapacitated Xiao Xiao, crippled Beibei’s left arm, and battered Xu Sanshi, while the fight continued.

• Huo Yuhao guessed that Long Zhanye’s silver-gray coffin contained Soul Tool Bombs capable of leveling five square kilometers, and the six Shrek Academy students resolved to stop him.
• Long Zhanye taunted the group and invited them to attack together as Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Beibei, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao launched their Soul Skills.
• Long Zhanye used Son of Mingling to absorb and dispel their control effects, then expanded a hundred-meter Mingling Domain and vanished within it.
• Long Zhanye appeared before Xiao Xiao and used Millennium in an Instant to knock her unconscious.
• Long Zhanye grabbed Beibei’s already injured left arm, worsened its damage, and kicked him out of the domain.
• Long Zhanye pounded Xu Sanshi’s Mystic Turtle Shell Shield until its defenses broke, making Xu Sanshi spit blood and fall.

Long Zhanye overwhelmed Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’s group inside his Mingling Domain, but Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong broke the domain with Golden Road and used it to distract him. As Xu Sanshi threw the coffin carrying Xiahou Ling into the air, Long Zhanye revealed five Ten-Thousand Year Soul Rings and moved to catch it, leaving himself open to their next attack.

• Long Zhanye threw Jiang Nannan out of the domain after defeating Xiao Xiao, Beibei, and Xu Sanshi, leaving only Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong inside.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong used Golden Road to break the Mingling Domain, but the attack failed to seal Long Zhanye’s Martial Soul.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that their attack had been a feint, and Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi used Teleport and Mysterious Underworld Displacement to get Xu Sanshi beside Long Zhanye’s coffin.
• Xu Sanshi hurled the coffin carrying Xiahou Ling into the air, and Long Zhanye lost control of his Soul Power, revealing five Ten-Thousand Year Soul Rings.
• Long Zhanye used Chaos Dragon Claw to catch the falling coffin, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong launched Hammer of the Heavenly Emperor at his unguarded back.

Long Zhanye was struck as the coffin fell, and its revealed corpse drove him into a Bronze Level Awakening. Ice Empress then possessed Huo Yuhao to fight him, but Long Zhanye's Chaos Spiral Kill shattered her attack and left Huo Yuhao badly injured.

• Long Zhanye was struck in the back as the silver-gray coffin crashed to the ground and revealed a preserved girl’s corpse inside.
• Enraged, Long Zhanye rose with his Double Pupil and Heavenly Eye exposed and advanced to Bronze Level Awakening.
• Huo Yuhao froze in fear until Ice Empress seized control of his body and attacked Long Zhanye with her Ice Empress Pincer.
• Long Zhanye countered with Chaos Spiral Kill, and the Chaos current destroyed the Ice Empress’s Pincer.
• Huo Yuhao suffered a severe backlash and staggered, while Long Zhanye remained standing with his aura only slightly disordered.

Shi Xing stopped Long Zhanye from killing Huo Yuhao and badly wounded him with his time-based abilities. He then declared that he would take Long Zhanye in for questioning, leaving the cause of the city fight unresolved.

• Long Zhanye shattered Ice Empress's Pincer and sent a Chaos palm toward the weakened Huo Yuhao.
• Shi Xing appeared atop the city wall and froze Long Zhanye and the surrounding area with his Fifth Soul Skill, Time Stasis.
• Shi Xing struck Long Zhanye in the chest with a point of light, grievously wounding him before the stasis ended.
• Shrek Academy's students recognized Shi Xing as Shrek City's lord and the ninety-fourth-ranked Time Douluo.
• Shi Xing said that Long Zhanye had caused chaos and injured students, then reached out to seize him for questioning.

Long Zhantian returned and rescued Long Zhanye from Shi Xing’s temporal attack, revealing that he was the younger brother’s long-missing elder brother. Shi Xing demanded that both brothers surrender and return to the City Lord Mansion, so Long Zhanye used defensive Soul Tools and his Chaos Demon Light to create a chance to escape.

• Long Zhantian interrupted Shi Xing’s attack with Three Thousand Thunder Sound Explosions, stopping the temporal hand at the cost of severe injuries.
• Long Zhanye recognized the black-robed man as his elder brother, Long Zhantian, who revealed that Shrek had crippled Long Zhanye’s Martial Soul three years earlier.
• Shi Xing acknowledged that he had not known about the past injury but insisted that the brothers return to the City Lord Mansion while the incident was investigated.
• Shi Xing unleashed his Titled Douluo pressure, and Long Zhanye activated two Invincible Barriers and Chaos Demon Light to help the brothers escape.
• Shi Xing’s pressure shattered both Invincible Barriers after only one second.

Long Zhantian and Long Zhanye escaped Shrek City after Shi Xing gravely wounded Long Zhantian, then returned to the Body Sect for treatment. As the brothers recovered, they vowed to avenge their family against Shrek and Xuan Zi.

• Long Zhantian was pierced by Shi Xing's Soul Power, but used his fourth Soul Skill to carry Long Zhanye beyond Shrek City's gates.
• Shi Xing chose to remain and defend Shrek City, then ordered the wounded treated and the conflict reported to the academy.
• Three days later, Long Zhanye brought Long Zhantian to Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun, who treated their injuries as Long Zhanye recounted the attack.
• Old Man Gu raged when he learned that Shi Xing had intervened, while Long Zhantian recovered from life-threatening injuries over the following days.
• Long Zhantian revealed he had reached the Soul Emperor realm and urged Long Zhanye to avenge their family; Long Zhanye vowed to settle the debt against Shrek and Xuan Zi.

Old Man Gu told Long Zhanye that Xiahou Ling’s body would decay within forty days unless its coffin was repaired, and suggested seeking Soul Engineers in the Sun Moon Empire. He gave Tang San a Dragon Pill to awaken its True Dragon Bloodline, then drugged Long Zhanye and had Zhua Yun catch him, leaving their next move uncertain.

• Long Zhanye explained to Long Zhantian that Old Man Gu was a reclusive, eccentric elder and Zhua Yun was his sole disciple.
• Old Man Gu warned Long Zhanye that Xiahou Ling’s body would begin to decay within forty days and said Soul Engineers in the Sun Moon Empire might be able to repair the coffin.
• Old Man Gu gave Long Zhanye an Elixir and proposed using a Dragon Pill to awaken Tang San’s dormant True Dragon Bloodline.
• Long Zhanye became dizzy after swallowing the Elixir, and Old Man Gu told him to sleep as Zhua Yun caught his collapsing body.
• Old Man Gu told Zhua Yun that their fate would decide what happened next.

Long Zhanye woke to discover Old Man Gu had grafted his Qilin Arm onto him, giving him a Second Martial Soul and the power cultivated over two centuries. As Old Man Gu’s condition grew dire, Long Zhantian urged his younger brother to honor the sacrifice by becoming stronger and carrying on the Nine Body Secrets.

• Long Zhanye woke in the secret chamber and found his young right arm replaced by Old Man Gu’s aged arm.
• Zhua Yun brought in Old Man Gu, who had lost his Qilin Arm, and told Long Zhanye that he had obtained a Second Martial Soul through the Body Martial Soul Grafting Technique.
• Old Man Gu explained that the graft was the secret of “Fuse” among the Nine Body Secrets and that he had chosen Long Zhanye to inherit his cultivation and carry on the secrets.
• Old Man Gu coughed up blood and had Zhua Yun take him back to rest.
• Long Zhantian comforted Long Zhanye and urged him to become stronger and pass on the Nine Body Secrets.

Long Zhanye learned that Old Man Gu had sacrificed his heart’s blood, cultivation, and Martial Soul to save him and graft the Qilin Arm onto him. Zhua Yun entrusted him with the Body Sect’s future, and Long Zhanye vowed to fulfill Old Man Gu’s wish.

• Zhua Yun gave Long Zhanye thirty Elixirs and warned him not to use his right arm or activate the Qilin Arm for thirty days.
• Zhua Yun gave Long Zhanye a Level 4 Storage Soul Guidance Device that Old Man Gu had prepared for him.
• Zhua Yun revealed that Old Man Gu had used his heart’s blood for three years to heal Long Zhanye, leaving himself gravely weakened.
• Zhua Yun explained that Old Man Gu had crippled his Martial Soul and grafted his cultivation and the Qilin Arm onto Long Zhanye, with only a trace of Soul Power sustaining him.
• Long Zhanye vowed to repay Old Man Gu’s kindness and fulfill his wish for the Body Sect.
• Zhua Yun said he would preserve the sect’s knowledge while Long Zhanye grew strong enough to carry its future.

Long Zhanye learned that the Emerald Swan and Blue Silver Emperor might offer ways to heal his master, then prepared to travel to the Sun Moon Empire to have Xiahou Ling’s Ice Coffin repaired. Before he departed, Tang San grew dramatically overnight and revealed traits Long Zhanye recognized as those of Suanni.

• Zhua Yun told Long Zhanye that seeking help from the Star Luo Empire’s healing Titled Douluo was too costly and risky, and suggested searching for the Emerald Swan or Blue Silver Emperor instead.
• Zhua Yun warned Long Zhanye not to visit his weakened master and urged him to travel to the Sun Moon Empire to repair Xiahou Ling’s Ice Coffin.
• Long Zhanye gave Tang San the Dragon Pill, packed his belongings, and told Long Zhantian he planned to leave for the Sun Moon Empire the next day.
• Before dawn, Long Zhanye found that Tang San had grown several times larger and developed dragon horns, claws, and blue-green patterns.
• Long Zhanye recognized Tang San’s new appearance as the Fifth Son of the Dragon, Suanni.

Long Zhanye learned that Medusa had given him a God-Bestowed Soul Ring as one of many candidates for her inheritance, then traveled to Ming Capital to seek someone who could repair his coffin. He remained unable to find help or gain access to the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tool institutions.

• Medusa revealed herself in Long Zhanye’s Sea of Consciousness as the God of Sin and explained that he was one of many seeds she had chosen to compete for her inheritance.
• Long Zhanye realized Medusa had given him his Fifth Soul Ring and vowed to cultivate diligently, while her Divine Sense dissolved into black mist within his Sea of Consciousness.
• Three days later, Long Zhanye arrived in the Sun Moon Empire and was astonished by Ming Capital’s advanced Soul Tool technology.
• Long Zhanye searched for a high-level Soul Engineer to repair the coffin but learned that legitimate institutions required a recommendation from a certified Grade Five Soul Engineer.
• Long Zhanye was repeatedly turned away by workshops, institutions, and soldiers because he lacked credentials and came from the Heavenly Soul Empire.
• At night, Long Zhanye stood in Ming Capital without a place to stay or a way to get the coffin repaired, while Tang San stayed by his side.
