Chapter Summaries

Yang Xing reached Suotuo City with ten days left to find a disciple before his system abandoned him. There, Ning Rongrong noticed his fortune-telling stall and overheard a man begging him to take his pregnant wife as a disciple.

• Yang Xing recalled his arrival in the Douluo Continent, his weak Martial Soul, and the system’s demand that he find a gifted disciple.
• After failing to recruit anyone during his journey, Yang Xing entered Suotuo City determined to keep searching.
• Ning Rongrong arrived in Suotuo City to explore and prepare to enroll at Shrek Academy.
• Ning Rongrong spotted a fortune-telling stall and overheard a man praise Yang Xing’s prediction and insist that he accept the man’s pregnant wife as a disciple.

Ning Rongrong tried to expose Yang Xing as a fraud, but two clients’ success and his clever arguments left her unable to disprove him. Yang Xing recognized that her fixed belief was blocking her and prepared to raise the stakes in his effort to take her as a disciple.

• Ning Rongrong laughed at Yang Xing’s fortune-telling stall and rebuked an honest man for trusting him, but the man shoved her and defended his master.

• Yang Xing recognized that Ning Rongrong could not imagine an explanation beyond fraud and prepared to add a final, weighty stake in his effort to make her his disciple.

Yang Xing used fortune-telling to reveal Ning Rongrong’s identity and background, convincing her that he knew far more about her than he should.

• Yang Xing told Ning Rongrong that Gold Soul Coins could not solve her question.

Yang Xing tricked Ning Rongrong into signing a master-apprentice contract by promising to reveal how her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could become a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The System accepted her as his apprentice but sealed his Extreme Douluo strength and gave him a Level 99 cultivation reward with limited access to its full power.

• Yang Xing opened the system inventory and selected the Level 99 Ultimate Title Douluo Cultivation Set, which required him to customize his soul skills before cultivation infusion.

• Yang Xing learned that his nine Soul Rings had a powerful standard configuration and that his Martial Soul would adapt to his chosen soul skill system.
• Yang Xing considered several ability systems and narrowed his choices to the Eight Extraordinary Skills from Under One Person and the Twelve Talismans from Jackie Chan Adventures.

• Yang Xing tapped Ning Rongrong on the forehead, vanished, and left a small bird perched on her head.
