1. Key Plot Points & Events

• Su Yuan is assigned a near-impossible mission by Li Dieyi: eliminate all 107 Dragon Evolution Cult followers below the Third Realm in Qianshan District within one month (he killed 8 the previous day, leaving 99). More may arrive from other areas.
• Yun Yiyao receives news from Twin-Trust City: Vice leader Bei Xing attacked White Swallow Martial Arts Hall targeting Bai Siyi. Twelve Sixth-Realm martial artists fought him. Seven died, six were seriously injured (including Zhu Qinhui). Bai Xu, at Peak Sixth-Realm, burned his lifespan to help kill Bei Xing, leaving himself only three years to live. Bai Siyi survived.
• Bei Xing was seen using a blood-red bottle that extracted a drop of heart's blood from each slain Sixth-Realm martial artist, and also from himself upon death. The bottle vanished after his death.
• Li Dieyi deduces the bottle is the Blood Condensation Bottle from Secret Realm No. 14. It can create an Eighth-Realm martial artist by collecting essence blood from 50 Sixth-Realm and 10 Seventh-Realm martial artists.
• She suspects the Dragon Evolution Cult leader faked his death, swapped identities with a vice leader, and deliberately exposed the headquarters to harvest blood from both his own followers and West Martial Province's experts.

• Su Yuan checks his status panel: Blood Qi is now 193.5 (High-Tier First-Realm), with many martial skills improved, including Azure Thunder Chaos Spear at Minor Achievement (60%).
• They set out. Lu Yue locates cult followers with his perception; Su Yuan kills the first target with two spear strikes, shocking Lu Yue.

• Yun Yiyao, Su Yuan, and Lu Yue settle into a strict daily training routine: breathing technique, sparring, martial skill practice, then more cult follower-killing in the evening.
• Half a month passes. Su Yuan improves dramatically under the guidance of Yun Yiyao (Fifth-Realm High-Stage) and Lu Yue (Seventh-Realm Mid-Grade).

• Escalating Threat: The Dragon Evolution Cult leader’s desperate breakthrough and flight toward Linzhou City raises the stakes dramatically.

His mental fortitude is driven by his goal to stand at the pinnacle of the high-martial world. He also shows rapid recovery, indicating exceptional innate qualities.

Summary: Lin Zhenyan's Little Scheme, Su Yuan's Guidance

Key Plot Points

• Lin Zhenyan asks Su Yuan to learn the Mountain-Suppressing Spear (Third-Tier Mid-Level spearmanship), revealing Lin Jie has practiced it for 8 months and nearly reached Preliminary Level.
• Su Yuan initially hesitates internally—he believes the Heavenly Thunder Heart Spear he already practices is superior—but accepts the offer.
• To everyone's shock, Su Yuan declines Lin Zhenyan's guidance and instead offers to guide Lin Jie in practicing the Mountain-Suppressing Spear.
• Su Yuan reviews the cultivation manual for 5 minutes, then gives precise technical corrections to Lin Jie's form.

• Letting go of obsession: Lin Zhenyan releases his fixation on preserving the family/school martial heritage, prioritizing practical growth instead.

• The chapter closes with father and son discussing Su Yuan's future potential, with Lin Jie anticipating the upcoming school term to learn more about Su Yuan's true strength.

Chapter Summary

• Su Yuan trains at home in the Light-Pillar Training Room, breaking through with the Heavenly Thunder Heart Spear to Entry Level, raising his Blood Qi to 434 and his strike power to 74,020 kg.
• The next morning, Su Yuan arrives early at Qianshan Class but finds it empty; class has been delayed to 8 AM due to an "unexpected situation."
• Su Yuan tests the Ice Stone Passage but finds it no longer increases his Blood Qi; he also reaches Entry Level with the Thunderflash Imperial Riding Breathing Technique (40%).
• Jiang Huaisheng reveals the situation: Liu Yuanzhou, Yanbo City's top prodigy, challenged Su Yuan while he was absent, was declined, then went to Linzhou City and defeated Zhou Churan in three moves, claiming he used less than 50% of his strength. Liu Yuanzhou then challenged Su Yuan again, and is now near Qianshan No. 1 High School for a third challenge.
