• Yu Xiaolong said Yu Changge would study at Spirit Hall and bring knowledge back to the clan’s Library Pavilion, while Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a chill and feared trouble was coming.

Yu Changge arrived at Spirit City with his family and received permission from Qian Xunji to study in the Pope Palace Library Pavilion. Bibi Dong took him to his residence, asked him to call her “Dong'er Sis,” and offered to help him see the outside world if he taught her how to cultivate faster.

• Yu Tianqing presented the family's letter at Spirit City, and the three entered the city and went to the Pope Palace.

• Bibi Dong asked Yu Changge to teach her how to cultivate faster and offered to take him outside Spirit Hall once she had more freedom.

Yu Changge guessed that Bibi Dong had two Martial Souls, impressing her and earning her trust. Bibi Dong asked to study theory with him and seek his advice, bringing them closer while Qian Xunji remained unaware.

• Yu Changge told Bibi Dong he could not make cultivation easier and praised her for absorbing a thousand-year Second Soul Ring.

Qian Xunji agreed to help Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao investigate Yu Changge’s mutated martial soul, but said he would later ask Yu Changge for a favor if he proved his potential. Bibi Dong settled Yu Changge into a privileged Spirit Hall residence and offered to protect him as he began studying there.

• Qian Xunji told Yu Tianqing that he wanted to study whether Yu Changge’s mutated martial soul was a malignant or benign mutation, using Yu Xiaogang as a control group.
• Qian Xunji asked Yu Tianqing to let Yu Changge receive the theories and Sub-Dragon meat he needed, and said he would make a request if Yu Changge defied his low innate soul power and succeeded.

• Yu Changge said he would beat anyone who provoked him, and Bibi Dong promised to stand up for him and explained that Spirit Hall’s Mimicry Cultivation Ground could help him cultivate.
• Bibi Dong guessed that Yu Changge had never used a Mimicry Cultivation Ground in his clan, and Yu Changge silently recognized that she was right.

Yu Changge learned that Spirit Hall could provide him with a light-attribute mimetic cultivation ground, which could help Xiao Huang and speed his cultivation. After Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao left, Bibi Dong told Qian Xunji that she had become Yu Changge’s sworn older sister.

• Bibi Dong explained that Spirit Hall had many mimetic cultivation grounds and could provide Yu Changge with a light-attribute one because of his clan’s arrangements and Xiao Huang’s light attribute.

• Bibi Dong explained to Qian Xunji that Yu Changge had discovered her secret, so she wanted to look after him as his older sister.
• Qian Xunji worried briefly that Yu Changge might cross the line with Bibi Dong, then dismissed the thought and let her choose how to spend the afternoon.

• Bibi Dong showed Yu Changge the Spirit Hall buildings and Mimicry Cultivation Grounds until the afternoon passed.
• After Yu Changge offered to treat her to a meal, Bibi Dong took his hand and led him toward street-food stalls at the foot of the mountain, telling him to hurry back before Qian Xunji noticed.

Yu Changge settled into Spirit Hall, using its Light Attribute Mimicry Cultivation Ground to improve his cultivation and the Library Pavilion to study medicinal herbs, Light Attribute soul beasts, and Martial Souls. While considering the risks of copying god-bestowed Martial Souls, he wondered whether his Martial Soul Replicator could copy the Seagod Trident or Asura Magic Sword instead.

• Yu Changge began cultivating for at least four hours each day in Spirit Hall's Light Attribute Mimicry Cultivation Ground, which increased his cultivation speed.

• Yu Changge considered recruiting the Dugu Family, Ye Family, or Breaking Clan in the future, judging the Dugu Family easiest to win over and the Breaking Clan hardest.
• Yu Changge decided that copying the Six-Winged Angel or Sea God Martial Soul would bring serious risks and would not necessarily help him become a god.
• Yu Changge wondered whether his Martial Soul Replicator could copy the Seagod Trident or the Asura Magic Sword.

• Yu Xiaogang refused and defended his remarks, so Yu Yuanzhen rebuked him for criticizing Yu Changge despite his own lack of effort and low soul power.

Yu Yuanzhen forced Yu Xiaogang to acknowledge his jealousy and apologize to Yu Xiaogan, Yu Tianqing, and Yu Shuyao. The chapter ended with Yu Yuanzhen ordering Xiaogang to attend the clan school, while Xiaogang left in stunned silence.

• Yu Xiaogan urged Yu Xiaogang to accept his limited talent and pursue a theoretical path, but Yu Xiaogang angrily accused him of flaunting his advantages and failing to understand his pain.

• Yu Yuanzhen ordered Yu Xiaogang to attend the clan school every morning and threatened to break his legs if he kept wasting away, then told him to leave.

• Yu Yuanzhen made Yu Xiaogang apologize, struck him hard enough to knock out two teeth, and ordered him to attend classes at the academy.

• Yu Changge broke through his bottleneck and reached rank twenty.

• Yu Changge left the Mimicry Cultivation Ground, prepared to write to his parents, and reviewed Sunset Forest records on Radiant Sub-Dragon Soul Beasts.
• Yu Changge planned to choose a purely enhancement-type Second Soul Skill focused on attack and the Light Attribute.
• Bibi Dong asked Yu Changge whether he had broken through, and he told her he had reached Rank Twenty and planned to hunt for a Soul Beast with his parents.

Yu Changge prepared to hunt for his second Soul Ring, choosing the Sunset Forest and a roughly two-thousand-year-old Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast. On the way, he learned that Yu Xiaogang was heading to the Star Dou Forest for his first ring and wondered how a Lightning Attribute Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast could have given him a farting Soul Skill.

• Bibi Dong praised Yu Changge’s perseverance and asked to join his hunt, but he refused because it was dangerous and her teacher would blame him if anything happened to her.
• A few days later, Yu Changge left Spirit Hall with Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao while Qian Xunji watched and wondered whether he would return with a surprise.
• Yu Changge chose the Sunset Forest as his first destination, intending to hunt a roughly two-thousand-year-old Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast.
• Yu Tianqing told Yu Changge that Yu Xiaogang had gone to the Star Dou Forest with Yu Luomian and two Soul Emperors to obtain his first Soul Ring.
• Yu Tianqing explained that Yu Xiaogang believed a suitable Lightning Attribute Spirit Beast mattered more than a Sub-Dragon, though the clan still favored a Sub-Dragon for him.
• Yu Changge wondered what kind of Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast could grant Yu Xiaogang a farting Soul Skill.
