After Yu Xiaogang expelled Chu Xiu for being unable to cultivate his Deserted Island martial soul, Chu Xiu discovered it had finally awakened on his eighteenth birthday. Its survival system let him bring others to the island and copy their abilities through bonds, leaving him determined to surpass Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Chu Xiu selected Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, and Shui Bing'er as his fellow survivors after the island barred him from bringing both Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. They awoke together on a beach without clothes or access to their Martial Souls and Soul Power, and the chapter ended with Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong arguing while Chu Xiu watched.

Chu Xiu led Qian Renxue and Shui Bing'er through the forest, where they found fruit and Fruit Wine, and gained Qian Renxue’s favor. He discovered and ate a Mutant Wild Apple that more than doubled his strength, then returned with the others to the beach, where they spotted Ning Rongrong hiding nearby.

• Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue argued over Qian Renxue's age, and Shui Bing'er calmed them down.
• Shui Bing'er showed Ning Rongrong how to get water by chewing Water-Storage Vines, which Chu Xiu had found.
• Chu Xiu and the others carried fruit wine, leaves, and vines back to the reservoir.
• Chu Xiu said he would build a branch shelter with a vine-and-leaf roof and suggested using straw for insulation.
• Ning Rongrong pointed out grass near the woods that Chu Xiu could use.

Chu Xiu, Shui Bing'er, and Ning Rongrong entered the woods to gather supplies, where Ning Rongrong was bitten by a snake. Suspecting its venom was dangerous, Chu Xiu began sucking and biting the wound to draw it out.

• Chu Xiu assigned Qian Renxue to guard the beach while he, Shui Bing'er, and Ning Rongrong went into the woods for supplies.
• Ning Rongrong panicked at the bugs and spiderwebs in the woods, but Shui Bing'er warned her to stay quiet in case Spirit Beasts were nearby.
• A snake bit Ning Rongrong's calf, and Chu Xiu killed it with his makeshift stone spear.
• Chu Xiu suspected the snake's venom was causing abnormal clotting and said Ning Rongrong needed treatment quickly.
• When Shui Bing'er hesitated to suck out the venom, Chu Xiu bit and sucked Ning Rongrong's wound himself.

Chu Xiu found a mutated herb and used it to save Ning Rongrong from the snake venom. Ning Rongrong recovered enough to reject his attempt to feed her the remaining medicine, while her Bond Value with him rose by 30.

• Chu Xiu searched the forest for an antidote after warning Shui Bing'er that Ning Rongrong's survival depended on luck.
• Chu Xiu found radiant Oldenlandia diffusa, which could neutralize snake venom, and returned with it to Ning Rongrong.

• Ning Rongrong regained consciousness, and Chu Xiu determined that some damage from the venom remained.
• Ning Rongrong refused Chu Xiu's offer of the remaining herb, and her unusual feelings for him raised her Bond Value by 30.

Chu Xiu and the three women returned from the forest with supplies after Ning Rongrong recovered from a venomous snakebite, then built a crude grass tent before nightfall. The cramped shelter sparked an argument, and Chu Xiu reminded them that someone would need to keep watch outside.

• Chu Xiu swallowed the remaining medicinal pulp, and Ning Rongrong recovered enough to walk as Shui Bing'er supported her through the forest.
• Chu Xiu led Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong back along their route to gather apples, vines, and large leaves, while Qian Renxue collected straw on the beach.

• Chu Xiu built a crude shelter while Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue, and Shui Bing'er made leaf clothing and helped sew straw into leaves.
• Ning Rongrong teased Qian Renxue over the tent's small size, and Shui Bing'er stopped their argument by pointing out their limited supplies.
• Chu Xiu explained that someone would keep watch outside, reminding the women that they needed to take turns guarding the camp at night.

Chu Xiu arranged the night watch in pairs, but Ning Rongrong’s attempt to pair with him backfired when Qian Renxue chose him first. The group ate raw Sea Viper for dinner, and Ning Rongrong ran after Qian Renxue to mock her while Shui Bing’er finished her share.

• Chu Xiu recommended that they keep watch in pairs, and Shui Bing’er asked Ning Rongrong to choose a partner.
• Ning Rongrong ruled out Qian Renxue, hoping to be paired with Chu Xiu, but Qian Renxue chose Chu Xiu before Shui Bing’er could decide.
• Chu Xiu served everyone raw Sea Viper meat because they had no way to start a fire, and he warned them it might expose them to bacteria.
• Qian Renxue ate some snake meat, then left after declaring she was full, and Ning Rongrong laughed at her and ran after her.
• Shui Bing’er hesitated but ate her entire portion, while Chu Xiu was left with Ning Rongrong’s uneaten meat.

Chu Xiu grew wary when Qian Renxue questioned him about the Grandmaster, realizing she might have guessed at his identity and was more calculating than he had assumed. The next morning, Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing'er, and Qian Renxue agreed to take over the night watch, and Chu Xiu began organizing their work for the day.

• Ning Rongrong returned laughing about Qian Renxue vomiting, and Qian Renxue took Chu Xiu into the tent to rest with her.
• Qian Renxue asked Chu Xiu whether he knew the Grandmaster, making him suspect she had recognized his connection to the Deserted Island martial soul.
• Chu Xiu worried that Qian Renxue's argument with Ning Rongrong might have been deliberate, then fell asleep without investigating her as he had planned.
• Chu Xiu woke beside Ning Rongrong, who said she had held onto him because she was cold, while Shui Bing'er and Qian Renxue called them outside.
• Shui Bing'er explained that the girls had let Chu Xiu sleep after his hard work, and Ning Rongrong said they would handle the night watch and share the daytime work.
• Chu Xiu accepted their plan and began sorting out the day's tasks while eating an apple.

Chu Xiu led Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue into the forest to search for fire-starting materials and other Mutated Plants, but they found a Netherworld Wolf skeleton instead. Realizing a powerful feline Spirit Beast might be nearby, Chu Xiu decided they should retreat while recognizing the bones could be useful.

• Chu Xiu assigned the group survival tasks, and the Deserted Island Martial Soul reported that Shui Bing'er had developed a slight dependence on him while Ning Rongrong's feelings had deepened.
• Ning Rongrong showed off simple shoes she had made from leaves, then joined Chu Xiu and Qian Renxue on a forest expedition in search of materials.
• After finding no Mutated Plants all morning, the group discovered a large Spirit Beast skeleton hanging from a tree.
• Qian Renxue and Chu Xiu identified the remains as a young Netherworld Wolf and concluded that a stronger Spirit Beast, likely a lynx, had killed it.
• Chu Xiu decided the group should not explore farther, but noted that the Netherworld Wolf skeleton could be valuable.

Chu Xiu used a Netherworld Wolf skeleton to make tools and weapons for the group stranded on the island. The others finished a sharp bone dagger, leaving Chu Xiu better equipped to explore the hills.

• Chu Xiu carried a Netherworld Wolf skeleton back from the forest and explained how its bones, ribs, and teeth could be made into weapons.

• Chu Xiu praised the dagger and planned to explore deeper toward the hills with it.

Chu Xiu led Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong to the mountain’s spring in search of firestone, then discovered a field of Spirit Tier rice guarded by a powerful Owl Spirit Beast. He recognized that the beast likely ruled the area and prepared to face it.

• Chu Xiu persuaded Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong to explore toward the mountain because they needed resources and firestone.
• The three found a clear mountain spring, and Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong stayed to bathe while Chu Xiu went upstream.
• Chu Xiu discovered a large field of mutated, lower-grade Spirit Tier rice that could heal injuries, restore stamina, and strengthen the body.
• Chu Xiu spotted a half-meter-tall Owl Spirit Beast beside the rice and realized its territory explained the lack of animal tracks near the spring.
• Chu Xiu suspected the Owl Spirit Beast was at least ten thousand years old and gripped his Bone Dagger as he watched it and the Spirit Rice.

Chu Xiu returned to Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er after spotting a ten-thousand-year Owl Spirit Beast, then led them in a risky ambush to reach it. The Owl lunged at Shui Bing'er, and Chu Xiu stepped in front of her as his Bone Dagger pierced its ear.

• Chu Xiu backed away from the Owl Spirit Beast and went to consult Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er.
• Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er mistook Chu Xiu’s hurried approach for peeping, but he warned them that a ten-thousand-year Owl was nearby.

• Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er made noise as the three approached, but the Owl suddenly lunged toward Shui Bing'er.
• Chu Xiu shielded Shui Bing'er as the Owl’s talons pierced him and his Bone Dagger drove through the Owl’s ear canal.

Chu Xiu killed the Owl but was left with a talon through his chest, and Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong feared he would die. He used Spirit Rice to heal enough to remove the talon, while Shui Bing'er's bond with him rose to 60 and she leaned against his shoulder.

• Chu Xiu drove the Bone Dagger into the Owl's skull, killing it, but the Owl's talon pierced his chest.
• Shui Bing'er tried to cut the talon free and blamed herself, raising her Bond Value with Chu Xiu to 60.
• Chu Xiu told Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong that his eyes were a Body Martial Soul that let him identify special plants, and said the Spirit Rice could heal him.
• Ning Rongrong fed Chu Xiu Spirit Rice, and its warmth began healing his wound.
• Chu Xiu asked Shui Bing'er to remove the talon; she eased it out as the wound barely bled, then rested her head on his shoulder.

After Chu Xiu's Bond Value with Shui Bing'er rose to 80, he and the others prepared to leave Owl's territory and return to the beach. Shui Bing'er offered to help him bathe, but Ning Rongrong insisted on doing it herself, and her Bond Value with Chu Xiu increased as she washed him.

• Chu Xiu learned that Shui Bing'er had developed strong feelings for him, raising her Bond Value to 80.
• Chu Xiu sent Shui Bing'er to carry Owl's body and Ning Rongrong to gather Spirit Rice while he went to wash at the Spring Pool.

• Chu Xiu pulled Ning Rongrong into the Spring Pool, then let her wash the blood from him.
• Ning Rongrong's Bond Value rose by 5 as she washed Chu Xiu, bringing it to 55.

Chu Xiu and his companions harvested Spirit Rice and killed a giant owl, whose rare Core suggested that the strange place had changed every Spirit Beast. The group returned to camp with food, while Chu Xiu realized the Core might reveal a new way to gain abilities.

• Ning Rongrong washed Chu Xiu, and her Bond Value with him rose to 75.

• Chu Xiu asked Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong to dry the rice while he and Shui Bing'er butchered and salted the owl.
• Shui Bing'er found a 13,000-year-old bronze Owl Core, and Chu Xiu concluded that every Spirit Beast in the strange place might possess one.

Chu Xiu swallowed the Owl Core and gained Extreme Long-Distance Vision and Sound Wave Perception, then used his new abilities to investigate the island. He discovered that the mountain held powerful Spirit Beasts, including a bear and a wild boar fighting a kilometer away.

• Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue examined the Owl Core, and Qian Renxue confirmed what it was.
• Chu Xiu accepted the Core, swallowed it, and gained greatly enhanced vision and hearing.
• Chu Xiu explained his new abilities, and Qian Renxue suggested the island might be weakening the Core’s effects.
• After dinner, Chu Xiu took the first watch and scouted the beach and forest, identifying different danger zones.
• Chu Xiu spotted a bear and a wild boar fighting on the mountain, both apparently hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.

Chu Xiu returned to the Douluo Continent and tested his new vision and hearing, then overheard Tang San and Yu Xiaogang insult him. Enraged, he vowed revenge and planned to bring the other most important woman in Tang San’s life to the Deserted Island as his next survival companion.

• Chu Xiu returned to the Douluo Continent and tested his abilities, seeing up to five hundred thousand meters and sensing everything within a thousand meters.
• Chu Xiu overheard Tang San tell Yu Xiaogang and the others that he had returned from Slaughter City as a level fifty-six Soul King.
• Tang San and Yu Xiaogang denigrated Chu Xiu, and Tang San admitted through his thoughts that he had long wanted Chu Xiu dead for taking Yu Xiaogang’s attention.

• Chu Xiu planned to win over Ning Rongrong or Shui Bing’er to gain another survival slot, then bring the other woman most important to Tang San to the island.

Chu Xiu took Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue into the mountains, where he flirted with Ning Rongrong and raised her Bond Value. The chapter ended with him suggesting that he and Ning Rongrong sneak away together that night, leaving her stunned but secretly intrigued.

• Chu Xiu woke to find his chest wound almost healed after a night of recovery and set out with Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue, leaving Shui Bing'er on the beach.
• Chu Xiu planned to let Qian Renxue bathe at the mountain pool while he scouted, but Qian Renxue sent Ning Rongrong along with him.

• Ning Rongrong ran away after Chu Xiu teased her, and her Bond Value with him rose to 90.
• Qian Renxue criticized Chu Xiu for focusing on women, lowering her Bond Value with him, but his explanation eased her displeasure.
• Ning Rongrong found a pure piece of Colorless Glazed Stone, which Chu Xiu recognized could be shaped into a lens to start a fire.
• Chu Xiu and the others ground the stone into a convex lens and used it to ignite dry grass before sunset.
• Chu Xiu assigned the others to gather supplies, and the group began roasting Owl meat over their new fire.

Chu Xiu and the three girls built an earthen heated bed to escape the damp beach, then took shelter from a storm. In the darkness, Chu Xiu made another move on Ning Rongrong, who whispered that she was not ready.

• Chu Xiu refused to let Ning Rongrong and the others eat more roasted Owl meat so their stomachs could adjust, then agreed to let Qian Renxue take the first watch.
• Chu Xiu, Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing'er, and Qian Renxue gathered materials and built an earthen heated bed over three days.
• The group finished the shelter just as thunderclouds gathered, and Chu Xiu sent the girls into the tent before closing its straw curtain against the rain.
• In the dark tent, Chu Xiu put his arms around Ning Rongrong and touched her while she whispered that she was not ready.

After gaining Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and testing its support skills, Chu Xiu selected Ah Yin as the fourth person to survive on the Deserted Island. He found her alive in human form on the beach and considered how to win her over.

• Chu Xiu told Ah Yin he knew she was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast and warned that Spirit Hall would target her and her family if he revealed her identity.
• Ah Yin offered Chu Xiu her second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring after her rebirth, but he rejected the offer and demanded more.
