Chapter Summaries

Tang Wulin drank a mixture of spirit fruits and dragon blood to break his first seal, but the transformation made him attack Lin An. Gu Yue’s Reverse Scale intervened, knocking Tang Wulin unconscious and revealing its Silver Dragon King power to Tang San.

• Lin An helped Tang Wulin prepare for the seal-breaking ritual, and Tang San saw Lin An through Tang Wulin’s eyes and mistook him for a beautiful woman.
• Tang Wulin drank the prepared mixture, and the first seal began to break as golden, destructive energy overtook him.
• Tang Wulin pinned Lin An against the wall and moved in close, unable to control his violent instincts.
• Gu Yue’s Reverse Scale burst from Lin An’s Soul Tool and struck Tang Wulin with silver light, sending him unconscious.
• Tang San raged at the attack, then recognized the silver power as the Silver Dragon King’s opposite force, born from the same origin as the Golden Dragon King.

Lin An encountered the Golden Dragon King in Tang Wulin’s sea of consciousness, where the dragon tried to merge with him and mistook him for the reincarnated Dragon Queen. After Lin An rejected him and was expelled from the sea, Gu Yue caught his weakening body.

• Tang San realized the Silver Dragon King was protecting Lin An and wondered why she had given him a reverse scale.
• Lin An was pulled into a golden void and met the Golden Dragon King, who recognized him as the reincarnated Dragon Queen.

• Tang San overheard that Lin An was male and worried that Tang Wulin’s affection for him would end the Tang family bloodline.
• Lin An was expelled from Tang Wulin’s sea of consciousness, and Gu Yue caught him as he began to fall.

Gu Yue rescued Lin An from Tang Wulin, then left while planning to eliminate Na'er and reclaim the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. Tang San discovered the Golden Dragon King's transformation might be affecting Tang Wulin, who had absorbed his essence.

• Gu Yue checked Lin An for injuries, kicked the unconscious Tang Wulin, and followed Lin An out of the secret room.

• Tang San examined Tang Wulin and found his life force rapidly weakening after he absorbed the Golden Dragon King's essence.
• Tang San explained that the Golden Dragon King had transformed into a female to reproduce and warned Tang Wulin that he might be affected too.

Tang San warned Tang Wulin that accepting Lin An’s power could turn him into a girl, forcing him to choose between avoiding Lin An and risking his transformation. Meanwhile, Gu Yue and Di Tian discussed Tang San’s identity and the danger he posed before Lin An returned to find their dormitory in disarray.

• Tang San told Tang Wulin that Golden Dragon King assimilation could turn him into a girl and advised him to stop associating with Lin An and accepting his boosts.
• Tang Wulin broke down in despair at the thought of choosing between Lin An and keeping his manhood, then reluctantly agreed not to return to the academy for now.
• At Lin An’s dormitory, Di Tian urged Gu Yue to act against the Golden Dragon King, but Gu Yue refused to risk exposing herself or endangering the Dragon Queen.
• Gu Yue and Di Tian realized Tang Wulin was Sea God Tang San’s son and speculated about Tang San’s schemes and the missing Divine Realm.
• Lin An returned with food and found Gu Yue and Di Tian in a messy dormitory, watching television and eating snacks.

Gu Yue misread Lin An’s disgust as shyness and enjoyed having him to herself while Tang Wulin remained missing. As Lin An kept her buried in schoolwork, he noticed Wu Zhangkong was treating him as if he did not exist.

• Gu Yue flirted with Lin An, but she took his disgusted reaction as tsundere behavior and imagined they would marry.
• Tang Wulin had been absent from Eastsea Academy for a week, and Lin An worried that he had lost the chance to copy Tang Wulin’s trait.
• Xie Xie asked where Tang Wulin had gone, and Gu Yue suggested he had jumped into the sea before Lin An shut her down.
• Gu Yue memorized several technical subjects, but Lin An assigned her more problems and ordered her to finish an energy circuit design before midnight.
• Lin An recalled that Tang Wulin had vanished despite his attempts to contact and locate him, and suspected Tang San’s divine sense was helping him hide.
• Lin An realized Wu Zhangkong and the rest of Class Five had stopped acknowledging him, even during lessons and roll call.

Lin An abandoned his attempt to acquire Wu Zhangkong’s Frost Sword Heart and decided to pursue Leng Yaozhu’s rare golden trait instead. He visited her at the Spirit Pagoda and asked to intern there, telling her he had long admired her.

• Lin An tested his improved speed and strength, then decided he needed to grow stronger rather than remain in Gu Yue’s shadow.
• Lin An judged Wu Zhangkong’s Frost Sword Heart requirements too dangerous and gave up on trying to obtain it.
• Lin An learned that Leng Yaozhu’s Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart required spending time near her and helping her let go of Yun Ming.
• Lin An left Gu Yue’s Reverse Scale behind and went alone to the Spirit Pagoda while Gu Yue and Xie Xie were in class.
• Lin An handed Leng Yaozhu his résumé and asked to intern at the Spirit Pagoda, saying he had always admired her.

Leng Yaozhu mistook Lin An’s job interview for a confession and began to believe he wanted to marry her, while Lin An remained confused about her reactions. She realized she had developed feelings for him despite her lifelong devotion to Yun Ming and suspected his charm was affecting her.

• Leng Yaozhu blushed when Lin An said he admired her and wondered why he wanted to work as her secretary.
• Leng Yaozhu asked whether Gu Yue knew about his intentions, and Lin An said he did not think so.
• Leng Yaozhu warned Lin An against acting impulsively, but he insisted he understood and would work on probation if necessary.
• Leng Yaozhu worried that she was too old for Lin An and asked whether his family would object to their marriage.
• Lin An said his family probably would not object, and Leng Yaozhu excitedly grabbed his hands before realizing what she had done.
• Leng Yaozhu checked Lin An for signs of charm or drugs, found nothing abnormal, and recognized that she had begun to fall for him.

Lin An interviewed for a secretary position with Leng Yaozhu, impressed her with his technical knowledge, and left without resolving her growing interest in him. Leng Yaozhu stopped him and gave him the Phoenix Plume, a keepsake she had once intended for someone else.

• Leng Yaozhu agreed to hire Lin An as her secretary after he clarified that he was not Gu Yue's boyfriend.
• Leng Yaozhu showed Lin An the Spirit Pagoda's artificial soul spirit research, and he suggested changes that could improve energy transmission efficiency by at least fifteen percent.
• Lin An left, judging that earning Leng Yaozhu's trust and helping her resolve her feelings would take time.
• Leng Yaozhu stopped Lin An and gave him her Phoenix Plume, saying it could burn through the defenses of anyone below a Limit Douluo.

Lin An refused Leng Yaozhu’s Phoenix Plume, but Gu Yue arrived and accused her of offering him a love token. Leng Yaozhu denied having feelings for Lin An, while Gu Yue left more suspicious and possessive than before.

• Leng Yaozhu offered Lin An the Phoenix Plume, but he refused because he had not earned such a precious gift.
• Gu Yue appeared at the Spirit Pagoda, clung to Lin An, and asked what Leng Yaozhu had been about to give him.
• Gu Yue reminded Leng Yaozhu that the feather had once been intended as a token of love, and Leng Yaozhu claimed it was only a trinket she had given Lin An on a whim.
• Leng Yaozhu warned Gu Yue about Lin An’s complicated background, and Gu Yue insinuated that her teacher wanted to pursue him herself.
• Leng Yaozhu angrily denied harboring feelings for Lin An, while Gu Yue pretended she had only been joking and privately seethed with jealousy.
• Lin An sensed Gu Yue’s possessiveness and felt trapped by her control, but endured it because of the Silver Dragon bloodline.

Lin An’s mention of Yun Ming made Leng Yaozhu suspect his visits had a hidden motive, and she sent him away. After he left without asking her to stay, she accepted that she had mistaken his intentions and kept her feelings to herself.

• Leng Yaozhu wondered if Lin An would return after Gu Yue took him away from the lounge.
• Lin An continued visiting Leng Yaozhu, and they developed a quiet rapport, though she remained cold whenever he mentioned Yun Ming.
• Leng Yaozhu considered whether Lin An cared about her past or was acting for Universal Group, then dismissed him because she was tired.
• Lin An left, believing he could not obtain the golden entry or copy [Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart].
• Leng Yaozhu waited for Lin An to follow her, but when he did not, she put away the Phoenix Plume and resumed her composure.
• Lin An left the Spirit Pagoda thinking about Leng Yaozhu’s unreturned love for Yun Ming.

After Lin An stopped visiting the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu grew anxious that she had driven him away and struggled with her feelings for him. Gu Yue suspected Leng Yaozhu was interested in Lin An, then confronted him at Eastsea Academy.

• Lin An decided to leave Leng Yaozhu alone for the time being and focused on supervising Gu Yue's problem drilling.
• After a week without seeing Lin An, Leng Yaozhu worried that her harshness had scared him off and lamented that she was too old to marry.
• Gu Yue noticed Leng Yaozhu acting restless and accused her of waiting for a message from her wife.
• Leng Yaozhu denied it, but privately admitted she could not stop thinking about Lin An.
• The next day, Gu Yue circled Lin An at Eastsea Academy before leaning close and staring at him as if questioning him.

Lin An and the students were stunned when Wu Zhangkong introduced the beautiful new transfer student Tang Wuling, who carried the same Golden Dragon King bloodline as Tang Wulin. Wu Zhangkong claimed she was Tang Wulin’s younger sister and would inherit his aspirations, leaving Lin An and Xie Xie to wonder what had happened to Tang Wulin.

• Gu Yue questioned Lin An about whether he had something going on with her teacher, and Lin An dismissed the idea that Leng Yaozhu had cried over him.
• Wu Zhangkong arrived at the field with a shy, blue-haired transfer student, and Lin An recognized the golden Dragon God Bloodline indicator above her.
• Tang Wuling introduced herself to the students, who erupted in excitement over her appearance and questioned her connection to Tang Wulin.
• Lin An realized Tang Wuling had the same bloodline aura as Tang Wulin, while Xie Xie concluded that Tang Wulin had changed himself for love.
• Wu Zhangkong introduced Tang Wuling as Tang Wulin’s younger sister, said her brother had met with misfortune, and announced she would study in his class.

Gu Yue realized Tang Wulin had become a girl and feared that Tang San’s plans had overturned her hopes with the Dragon Queen. Tang Wuling admitted her feelings for Lin An and approached him to ask for lunch, while Tang San threatened anyone who might mock her.

• Gu Yue saw Tang Wuling and resented how beautiful she looked, then recalled that Tang Wulin had cut off his own manhood rather than become a girl through another means.
• Tang Wuling told Tang San that people were staring at her and insisted she had kept her will intact despite her transformation and attraction to Lin An.
• Tang San despaired over Tang Wuling’s appearance, then blamed Lin An and threatened him and anyone who might mock or discriminate against his son.
• Tang Wuling spotted Lin An, skipped over to him, and sweetly asked him to have lunch together because she had run out of money and needed food.

Lin An promised Tang Wuling he would find a way to save her brother, and her gratitude sparked a dangerous desire to marry him. Gu Yue confronted Lin An over his closeness with Tang Wuling, then softened in his embrace and marked him as hers while their classmates watched.

• Lin An swore to Tang Wuling that he would search everywhere for a way to save her brother.
• Tang Wuling cried at Lin An's promise, briefly imagined marrying him, then fought to preserve her resolve to be the one in control.
• Gu Yue confronted Lin An jealously about having a meal with Tang Wuling and slapped away his attempt to take her hand.
• Gu Yue accused Lin An of being unclear with her teacher, and Lin An pulled her into an embrace and denied provoking the teacher.
• Gu Yue calmed down, bit Lin An's cheek, and threatened to lock him up and make him have dragon babies with her.
• The students at the training field reacted with envy and heartbreak as Gu Yue clung to Lin An.

Gu Yue continued to cling to Lin An while Tang Wuling grew more determined to win his attention and hoped to become a girl. After Lin An left without agreeing to let Tang Wuling live with him, Tang San comforted her and warned her not to approach Lin An again.

• Gu Yue declared Lin An was her wife, then licked his cheek and hugged him until he called her a bootlicker; she sulked before he stroked her head and she clung to him again.
• Tang Wuling secretly resolved to find a way to turn Lin An into a girl, while Lin An dismissed the chill he felt when he glanced at her.
• Wu Zhangkong left early after announcing that the students needed to get up early for something important concerning their futures.

• Tang Wuling cried in the Sea of Consciousness and told Tang San she would not mind becoming a girl and marrying Lin An if he would look at her again.
• Tang San comforted Tang Wuling and told her to improve her cultivation but not approach Lin An again while her condition remained unstable.

Wu Zhangkong sent Class Five on a punishing run without Soul Power, while telling Lin An he did not have to go. Gu Yue challenged Wu Zhangkong and pulled Lin An along with the others.

• Tang Wuling woke Lin An by climbing into his dormitory, and Lin An pushed her away and complained about her lack of boundaries.
• Gu Yue arrived at morning assembly exhausted after Leng Yaozhu kept her awake, then glared at Tang Wuling for approaching Lin An.
• Wu Zhangkong ordered Class Five to run without Soul Power until they were completely exhausted, warning them that the opportunity came at a great price.
• Wu Zhangkong told Lin An he did not need to join the run, prompting Gu Yue to accuse him of deliberately targeting Lin An.
• Wu Zhangkong called the commoner students trash and urged them to fight with everything they had before ordering them to run.
• Gu Yue grabbed Lin An's wrist, stuck her tongue out at Wu Zhangkong, and dragged Lin An after the class.

Lin An and the students ran through rain polluted with radiation and industrial exhaust, which harmed their bodies while boosting their cultivation. Shadow Brake explained that Eastsea City’s poor families had resisted environmental reforms because the pollution gave their children a chance to improve their prospects, leaving Lin An stunned by the system’s cruelty.

• Wu Zhangkong led the students into a polluted industrial district and ordered them to endure the rain without using Soul Power.
• As students coughed, bled, and lost their hair, Wu Zhangkong told a distressed girl she could quit, but she continued running.
• Shadow Brake warned Lin An and Gu Yue that radiation levels were far above safety standards, while she kept Lin An sheltered beneath her umbrella.
• The group saw students from Class One running out of the polluted area, and Zhou Changxi declared that the exposure was improving his Soul Power, martial soul, and spiritual power.
• Lin An asked Shadow Brake why the exhaust was released into the atmosphere, and she explained that parents had protested his environmental reforms because they wanted their children to benefit from the pollution.
• Shadow Brake added that dead students could continue working through Artificial Soul Spirits, whose scarcity made their deaths economically useful.

Lin An ordered Shadow Brake to halt the radiation and industrial emissions at the cultivation zone, then tried to bring Tang Wuling back before she could overwork herself. As Tang Wuling acted shy under his touch, Lin An began to suspect she was deliberately pretending to be sweet to trick him.

• Lin An told Shadow Brake to stop all radiation and emissions immediately while allowing the medicinal waste to continue being discharged.
• Shadow Brake agreed to carry out Lin An's order despite the financial losses, while Gu Yue decided she would punish those harming nature after reclaiming the Dragon God's power.
• Lin An found Tang Wuling cultivating in the most radioactive area and offered to cover the cost of her medicine if she returned with him.
• Tang Wuling refused to leave because her Soul Power was nearing level fifteen, so Lin An took her wrist and rubbed the cowlick on her head.
• Gu Yue angrily watched Tang Wuling act embarrassed, while Lin An suspected the performance was a trap because Tang Wulin had once wanted to sleep with him.

Lin An’s promise to cover the students’ medicine stirred envy as Wu Zhangkong warned Class Five that enduring the radiation was their only chance at promotion. The group reached Class One’s far more dangerous training area, where Ye Yingluo renewed her resentment after Wu Zhangkong ignored her.

• The students envied Lin An’s offer, but Wu Zhangkong warned that medicine alone could not change their talent and urged them to endure their final hour of training.
• Tang Wuling worried about losing her hair, and Tang San explained that the radiation was slowing the Golden Dragon King’s feminizing influence on her.
• Tang San observed that the radiation could gravely harm ordinary people, while the group continued toward Class One’s training area.
• Class Five reached the core area and saw Class One’s students suffering severe radiation damage, including tumors, corroded skin, and premature aging.
• Ye Yingluo greeted Wu Zhangkong, but he walked past without acknowledging her, and she vowed to make him notice and regret ignoring her.

After Wei Xiaofeng collapsed from prolonged exposure to mutant energy, Ye Yingluo blamed Lin An and confronted him over the fines that had driven her students to desperation. A federal warning revealed that Lin An was protected by a True God-Grade mecha, and Ye Yingluo realized her students had provoked him without knowing the danger because they could not afford modern communicators.

• Zhang Yangzi told Ye Yingluo that Wei Xiaofeng had fainted after staying in the radiation zone overnight, and Ye Yingluo found him covered in tumors and leaking pus.
• Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi carried Wei Xiaofeng toward the factory district's main road while Ye Yingluo watched her students struggle under their debts.
• Ye Yingluo confronted Lin An and blamed him for ruining her students' futures, while Wu Zhangkong watched without intervening.
• Ye Yingluo's communicator warned her that the mecha Rainbow Light Verdict was tracking her actions and that provoking federally protected Lin An could incur a fine.
• Ye Yingluo learned that Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi had used old-model communicators and had received no warning before they provoked Lin An.
