Ch. 881Get Out!
Chapter Summary
Key Plot Points
- A violent explosion rocks the Heavenly Net Imperial Palace at night. Guards investigate but the National Guardian War God dismisses it as the Third Young Master's experiment.
- Yue Yang, clothes torn and face blackened, barges into Emperor Hua Xuri's bedchamber despite the Emperor having retired.
- He presents a failed experiment—a blackened lump—but claims he has found the right line of thinking and demands the Emperor's advice.
- Yue Yang explains his theory: most people have the soul potential to contract a Summoning Codex, but the body's limitations and acquired influences block that potential.
- He proposes creating a wrist device—a mechanism that acts like a "trigger" to awaken a user's summoned beast, without the user needing to understand the process.
- The Emperor is deeply intrigued, realizing this could change Dragon Soaring Continent.
- Yue Yang makes crude jokes about splitting beauties with the Emperor, provoking His Majesty's fury. The Emperor kicks him out of the palace.
Character Developments
- Yue Yang: Passionate and brilliant researcher, utterly absorbed in his work. Confident to the point of arrogance, irreverent toward authority, and prone to inappropriate humor. His genius is evident, but his social tact is severely lacking.
- Emperor Hua Xuri: Initially furious at the intrusion, but his intellectual curiosity wins over. He proves exceptionally intelligent, grasping Yue Yang's theories quickly. Shows patience and grudging affection for Yue Yang despite his antics, but has firm limits.
Significant Themes
- Innovation through alternative approaches: Yue Yang argues that when a goal is too difficult, one should change strategy rather than abandon it.
- Human potential: The theory that all souls possess latent potential, limited by the body, upbringing, confidence, and acquired knowledge.
- The mentor-protégé dynamic: Despite the formal hierarchy, their relationship is casual and familial—Yue Yang treats the Emperor like a trusted friend and advisor.
Character Interactions
- Yue Yang and the Emperor share an unusually informal relationship, with Yue Yang sitting by the bedside and even ordering the palace attendants around.
- The Emperor acts as both an authority figure and an intellectual sounding board, challenging Yue Yang's ideas while being drawn into them.
- Their exchange ends in comic frustration: Yue Yang's tasteless jokes about "a sea of breasts" and suggesting they split beauties 6:4 crosses the line, resulting in him being physically thrown out by the furious Emperor.
