Chapter Summaries

Fang Can trained against Elder Yang, adapting his body so thoroughly that Elder Yang’s acupoint-striking technique could no longer affect him. Meanwhile, Ye Yonglie oversaw a selection of more than ten thousand women to choose Fang Can’s God-Serving Maidens, with the final choices due in three days.

• Ye Yonglie surveyed more than ten thousand candidates gathered outside Fang Can’s residence for the selection.
• Ye Yonglie ordered the judges to choose the best God-Serving Maidens within three days and promised the palace maids generous rewards for helping.

The Fang Estate beauty selection proved far more competitive than expected, as Lu Ziyi passed a rigorous screening while Prince Qing’s candidate Li Yuling was eliminated for lacking an exceptional figure. Prince Qing ordered his people to send more contestants, and the next day the judges faced another crowd of remarkably high quality.

• The judges screened thousands of contestants and discovered that many met standards high enough for noble consorts.

• The judges saw that the next day’s contestants were just as impressive and worried that more experts had arrived.

• After Ye Yonglie's public selection ended, Fang Can took a day off and arranged for the selected women to practice the Y-God Technique one at a time.
• Fang Can began the session dressed in the Emperor's New Clothes, and the first woman collapsed after the fifth technique, unable to stand.

Fang Can completed his Y-God Curse training by fighting a hundred female agents, then tested the doubled strength it granted against Elder Yang. He realized he still needed to build his own First Turn inheritance, and Elder Yang effortlessly stopped his opening punch.

• Fang Can fought groups of female agents until he had defeated a hundred, initially mastering the Y-God Curse and granting the agents a temporary boost as well.
• Fang Can activated the curse and doubled his strength, but decided that it was not enough to protect him from Xiang Longtao and other First Turn enemies.

Lu Ziyi reported that Fang Can’s medicinal dish had been shared too widely for her to judge its effects, then returned to his manor and heard his women trade stories about his sensitive waist and jade feet.

• A young woman told the others that Fang Can’s waist was sensitive, and another believer described tasting his feet after sneaking a bite while he cooked.

As Fang Can and Xiang Longtao’s duel drew near, their believers’ rivalry spread into a kingdom-wide feud before the story shifted to Xiang Hongtu’s fear of an old curse. The chapter ended with Fang Can completing his Perfect Physique while Xiang Hongtu prepared for the possibility that his son would die.

• Xiang supporters broadened their attacks to the other Hidden Dragon Ranking warriors, prompting their believers to unite against them in newspapers and street fights.

At the imperial banquet, Liu Qingmeng explained the three layers of Luo Yanmo’s Mind Reading before Luo Yanmo opened Fangcun Mountain for the All-Kingdoms Grand Competition.
