Chapter Summaries

After Ning Rongrong ended her childhood friendship with him, Xiao Yin left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and collapsed from hunger in Nuoding City. A wish-granting system appeared and gave him two hours to slap Yu Xiaogang in exchange for manifesting his martial soul and reaching Soul Power level 20.

• Ning Rongrong told Xiao Yin to call her Miss Ning, and he calmly accepted before leaving with his paulownia zither.
• Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong watched from a pavilion as Gu Rong dismissed Xiao Yin as worthless and approved ending their connection.
• Xiao Yin left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the rain and headed for Nuoding City, determined to find a way to prove himself.
• Three days later, hungry and exhausted in a Nuoding City alley, Xiao Yin recalled his past life and wondered why he had been born without talent.
• The Sentient Wish System activated and assigned Xiao Yin a two-hour mission to slap Yu Xiaogang loudly, promising to manifest his martial soul and raise his Soul Power to level 20.
• After learning that failure would permanently unbind the system and randomly remove half his length, Xiao Yin accepted the mission.

After Xiao Yin completed the mission to slap Yu Xiaogang, the system unlocked his Taotie Martial Soul and raised his Soul Power to level 20. Xiao Yin learned how the Sentient Wish System worked and turned his attention to opening the novice gift pack.

• Xiao Yin used a loud noise to distract Yu Xiaogang, slapped him, and escaped from the study.
• Yu Xiaogang recovered and shouted in fury as Xiao Yin ran through the academy.

• Xiao Yin claimed his rewards, awakened the Taotie Martial Soul, and sensed other Beast Martial Soul masters at the academy panicking.
• A pink-dressed girl with a long scorpion braid told Xiao San she had to go out and then left.
• Xiao Yin asked the system about its purpose, learned that it generated missions from wishes, and focused on the unopened gift pack.

Xiao Yin opened his novice gift pack, bought items from the system shop, and met Xiao Wu, who mistook him for a transformed soul beast and brought him to Nuoding Academy. She introduced him to Tang San as their new roommate, leaving Tang San visibly cold at their closeness.

• Xiao Yin received 50 Wish Value and the Myriad Spirits Unification Art, then bought a language skill and a storage soul tool from the shop.

• Xiao Yin concealed the truth and let Xiao Wu believe he had no home, hoping to gain access to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest.
• Xiao Wu took Xiao Yin to Nuoding Academy's work-study dormitory and introduced him to Tang San as their new roommate.
• Tang San greeted Xiao Yin calmly, but his expression turned cold when Xiao Wu called Xiao Yin a close friend and said the three of them would be together.

Xiao Yin joined Dorm Seven and used a system item to reveal a simulated Rank 20 Soul Master aura, earning an invitation to join Xiao Wu and Tang San in Soul Hunting Forest. Three days later, Xiao Wu brought him to meet Yu Xiaogang, who recognized something familiar about him despite his changed appearance.

• Xiao Wu assigned Xiao Yin an empty bed in Dorm Seven, and Tang San grew wary of how warmly she treated him.
• Xiao Yin claimed his mutated Beast Martial Soul had reached Rank 20 and activated a simulated yellow Soul Ring, making Tang San recognize the savage presence of Taotie.

• Over the next three days, Xiao Wu grew closer to Xiao Yin while Tang San became quieter and more vigilant.
• Xiao Wu took Xiao Yin to meet Yu Xiaogang, who noticed his familiar temperament and wondered whether he was the person he had encountered before.

Xiao Yin rejected Yu Xiaogang’s offer to become his master, then joined Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu on their trip into the Soul Hunting Forest. The group discovered that Three-Headed Nether Wolves had surrounded them, and the chapter ended as they realized they were under attack.

• Yu Xiaogang recognized Xiao Yin’s Taotie as a top-tier Mutated Beast Martial Soul and offered to take him as his disciple, but Xiao Yin politely refused.
• Yu Xiaogang led Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Yin toward the Soul Hunting Forest so Tang San could find a Second Spirit Ring.
• Xiao Wu spotted fresh scales, and Yu Xiaogang identified the trail as belonging to an Iron-Bellied Snake suited to Tang San.
• Xiao Yin sensed concealed Soul Power fluctuations and warned that several creatures were surrounding the group.
• Tang San used his Purple Demon Eye to confirm that three-hundred-year-old Three-Headed Nether Wolves had formed an encirclement, and their howls rang out.

Xiao Yin helped the others repel an ambush by Nether Wolves and camped with them in the Soul Hunting Forest. After the system assigned him a mission to apply mosquito-repelling ointment to Xiao Wu, he pretended to have some and began searching for it.

• Three Nether Wolves ambushed Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu, but Tang San and Xiao Wu counterattacked after Xiao Yin's Taotie pressure made the wolves hesitate.
• Yu Xiaogang arranged an overnight camp in a hollow tree, with Tang San and Xiao Wu taking turns keeping watch while Xiao Yin rested inside.
• The system assigned Xiao Yin a mission to repel Bloodthirsty Soul Mosquitoes and maintain physical contact with Xiao Wu for thirty seconds, with a penalty of attracting every mosquito within a hundred meters if he failed.
• Xiao Yin noticed mosquito bites on Xiao Wu's arm and claimed he had mosquito-repelling ointment, then searched the System Shop for it.

Xiao Yin used mosquito-repellent paste as an excuse to touch Xiao Wu’s back for thirty seconds, completing his mission. Tang San caught them and confronted them in a jealous rage, leaving the three in a tense standoff.

• Xiao Yin gave Xiao Wu special repellent paste, which soothed her bites and quieted the mosquitoes.
• Xiao Yin offered to apply the paste to Xiao Wu’s back, and she reluctantly agreed.
• Xiao Yin applied the paste along Xiao Wu’s neck and back until he completed the thirty-second mission requirement.
• Tang San saw them through the tree hollow with his Purple Demon Eye and burst in, furious at their closeness.
• Xiao Wu defended Xiao Yin and explained that he had only applied mosquito-repellent paste, but Tang San accused him and began to release Soul Power.

Xiao Yin left the Soul Hunting Forest camp after Tang San accused him of taking advantage of Xiao Wu, leaving their group strained and Xiao Wu hurt. Alone in the forest, Xiao Yin reviewed the Taotie Martial Soul’s abilities and risks, then checked his status panel.

• Yu Xiaogang stopped Tang San from confronting Xiao Yin, but Xiao Yin decided the camp did not welcome him and thanked Xiao Wu for defending him.
• Xiao Yin warned Xiao Wu to be careful of the human heart, challenged Tang San’s distrust, and departed into the forest.
• Xiao Wu broke down after Xiao Yin left, while Tang San felt regret but convinced himself Xiao Yin was at fault because he had taken the Path of Death.
• Xiao Yin reviewed the Taotie Martial Soul’s Devouring and Beast Pressure abilities, recognized the danger of losing control through excessive Devouring, and checked his system status.

Xiao Yin hunted in the Soul Hunting Forest, using the Taotie Martial Soul to devour soul beasts and grow stronger. On the third day, he discovered a Purple Heart Jade Bone Orchid guarded by two powerful beasts and decided to outsmart them rather than fight directly.

• Xiao Yin used the Taotie Martial Soul’s aura to frighten an Iron-Armored Armadillo, then killed and devoured it, enduring a painful refinement of the energy he absorbed.
• Xiao Yin refined the devoured energy with the Myriad Spirits Unification Art and felt his physical strength increase.
• Over the next two days, Xiao Yin devoured a Ghost Shadow Marten and a Poison Arrow Porcupine, further strengthening his body and Taotie phantom.
• Xiao Yin found a wounded Golden-Armored Earth Dragon and a Nether Shadow Leopard fighting over a Purple Heart Jade Bone Orchid in a valley.
• Xiao Yin recognized the orchid’s value and judged both beasts too powerful to face directly, so he opened the system shop to find another way.

Xiao Yin killed the Golden-Armored Earth Dragon, absorbed its Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as his First Spirit Ring, and gained the soul skill Iron Chewer. As he prepared to seek his Second Spirit Ring in Star Dou Forest, a high-priority task appeared: rescue the imprisoned Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin within 24 hours.

• Xiao Yin waited for the Golden-Armored Earth Dragon and Nether Shadow Leopard to weaken each other, then used a Flash Talisman and Taotie's pressure to kill the earth dragon.
• Xiao Yin absorbed the Golden-Armored Earth Dragon's Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and gained the soul skill Iron Chewer, which let him drain an opponent's vitality and blood to replenish himself.
• Xiao Yin drained both dead spirit beasts and ate the Purple Heart Jade Bone Orchid, greatly increasing his spiritual power and perception.
• Xiao Yin considered leaving Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his Second Spirit Ring in Star Dou Forest, but received a task to move the imprisoned Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin without damaging her origin within 24 hours.

Xiao Yin found Ah Yin imprisoned as a Blue Silver Emperor plant in a cave and persuaded her to leave with him. He claimed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, transplanted Ah Yin, and completed the mission before setting out for the Star Dou Forest.

• Xiao Yin used the system's mental map to locate Ah Yin and hurried to a cave behind a waterfall.
• Xiao Yin found Ah Yin's remnant soul in a Blue Silver Emperor plant and urged her to leave by questioning Tang Hao's devotion.

• The Earth Fire Dragon Lizard died, and its purple Spirit Ring rose from its body.

After surviving the absorption of a two-thousand-five-hundred-year soul ring, Xiao Yin encountered Ye Qingyi and Ye Lingling in the forest. A system task then required him to help Ye Lingling find a highly compatible second soul ring before she absorbed one.

• Xiao Yin absorbed the purple soul ring, reached level twenty-four, and gained the Soul Devour skill, which stole Soul Power and could convert excess energy into a shield.
• Xiao Yin used Devour to consume the Earth Fire Dragon Lizard's remains, then became alert when he heard footsteps nearby.
• Ye Qingyi, Ye Lingling, and their guard emerged from the forest, and Ye Qingyi offered to use her Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul to treat Xiao Yin's injuries.
• Xiao Yin recognized Ye Lingling and hesitated over accepting their help, then received a task to help her obtain a highly compatible soul ring of at least eight hundred years.

Xiao Yin helped Ye Qingyi and Ye Lingling find a suitable second soul ring for Lingling and received healing for his injuries. They reached a hidden valley with a Moonlight Epiphyllum that resonated with Lingling’s martial soul, and she prepared to absorb it.

• Xiao Yin learned that Ye Lingling needed a plant-type soul beast with pure life energy or healing properties, and offered to guide the group to one he had sensed nearby.
• Ye Qingyi healed Xiao Yin with her Nine-Heart Begonia and learned he was a ten-year-old independent cultivator with no sect or school.

• Ye Qingyi used her Nine-Heart Begonia to guide the Moonlight Epiphyllum, and Ye Lingling connected her martial soul to the flower.
• The Moonlight Epiphyllum bloomed and withered, producing an 850-year soul ring that Ye Lingling successfully absorbed.
• Ye Lingling reached rank twenty-one, and she and Ye Qingyi thanked Xiao Yin for helping them find a suitable soul ring.
• Ye Qingyi invited Xiao Yin to join the Ye Clan and return with them to Heaven Dou City, but he refused because of his secrets and dangerous journey.
• Xiao Yin encouraged Ye Lingling to cultivate, and she lowered her head with tears in her eyes after he said they might meet again.

Xiao Yin absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, gaining flight, powerful recovery, and a major boost to his strength. After reaching level thirty, he decided to pursue a ten-thousand-year third soul ring and headed for Heaven Dou City to seek Whale Rubber.

Xiao Yin received a system task to save a girl while creating an ambiguous physical encounter, and rescued Meng Yiran from a Nether Shadow Leopard. The chapter ended with Meng Yiran blushing in Xiao Yin’s arms after their intimate catch.

• Xiao Yin heard a girl fighting a Nether Shadow Leopard and approached the clearing to watch.

• Xiao Yin spun Meng Yiran into a close embrace, and Meng Yiran turned crimson and stared at him in shock.

Xiao Yin saved Meng Yiran from a Nether Shadow Leopard, then met her grandparents, Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Matriarch Chao Tianxiang. When Meng Shu offered to recruit him into the Meng Clan, Xiao Yin used Ye Qingyi’s token to claim he served as a guest elder of the Ye Clan, leaving the elders to consider his affiliation.

At the city gates, he left a nobleman’s Soul Ancestor guard trembling and unconscious with a burst of overwhelming bloodline pressure, then fixed his gaze on the nobleman.

• Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Matriarch Chao Tianxiang learned that Xiao Yin was a guest elder of the Ye Clan and stopped trying to recruit him.
• Meng Yiran shyly told Xiao Yin she would visit him at the Ye Clan, and he continued toward Heaven Dou City in search of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber.
• Three days later, Xiao Yin joined the line to enter Heaven Dou City and considered how to find information about the Whale Rubber without using his Ye Clan token.
• A noble young master tried to cut the line and ordered his guard A-Lang to break Xiao Yin’s legs.
• Xiao Yin released a terrifying bloodline pressure that made A-Lang’s Green Wind Wolf Martial Soul cower and drove the Soul Ancestor to his knees before he fainted.
• Xiao Yin turned his cold gaze on the noble young master, who nearly collapsed in fear.

Liu Erlong intervened when Xiao Yin was harassed at Heaven Dou City’s gate, then eagerly tried to recruit him into Blue Tyrant Academy. She brought him to her cottage to wash and change, and the chapter ended when she entered the bathroom and stopped short.

• Liu Erlong arrived at the city gate and learned that a young noble had ordered his guard to attack Xiao Yin for refusing to let him cut in line.

• Liu Erlong escorted Xiao Yin into the city and shoved him into her cottage’s bathroom to wash before they talked.
• After Xiao Yin had bathed for twenty minutes, Liu Erlong returned with a new uniform, opened the bathroom door, and abruptly fell silent.
