Chapter Summaries

Lin Dong saved Bai Ruoxue and Zhou Gong, then learned that the Demon-Worshipping Cult needed his Soul Bone Finger Skill to activate Train to Busan’s manifestation. After greatly increasing his strength and perfecting his Breath Concealment Art, he infiltrated Carriage 13 and began killing cultists, taking the Hundred-Soul Affinity Pill.

• Lin Dong gave Bai Ruoxue a Blood-Stasis-Clearing Pill and freed Zhou Gong from the zombies with a powerful punch.

• Lin Dong shouted for his brother to help, and a voice from the azure light threatened whoever had hurt its elder brother.

Lin Dong faced certain death from Blue Tang San’s Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus until Xiao Yan arrived and destroyed the weapon with his three-colored Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus. Xiao Yan then confronted Blue Tang San and attacked him.

• Lin Dong’s Iron Block failed to protect his poisoned left arm as Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus fired, and he charged toward it with Heaven-Shaking Tiger Roar: Lone Tiger's Path.

Xiao Yan destroyed Tang San’s azure form and vanished, leaving Lin Dong to face the dying Er Lu and the dangerous relic hidden in his heart.

• Lin Dong received 500 experience points and a Gold Chest after completing the hidden ending, Successful Survival, and watched the pregnant woman thank him before leaving.
• Lin Dong obtained Zombie Tears, which increased zombie affinity by 500% when worn or mental strength by 20 when consumed.

• Lin Dong reviewed his status and found that he had reached level nine with 95 strength and eight unspent attribute points.
• Lin Dong returned to Carriage 14, where Zhou Gong told him the instance was ending and urged him to check on Bai Ruoxue.
• Lin Dong saw that Bai Ruoxue was coughing up blood after using Curse Words three times and decided he had to find a way to save her.

Lin Dong traded his chance to advance directly to the second examination and the Hundred-Soul Affinity Pill to secure treatment for Bai Ruoxue and obtain the Azure Dragon Fruit. After reaching No. 1 Middle School, he activated Heavenly Blessing and ate the fruit within its three-second duration.

• Chen Kai said Bai Ruoxue's Curse Words backlash required more merits to treat, so Lin Dong offered his direct advancement and merits in exchange for saving her.

• An unseen speaker challenged Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran for calling someone a good-for-nothing, and Ge Ye shielded Nalan Yanran while demanding to know who was there.

Lin Dong confronted Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye outside Wutan City, demanding that they hand over the engagement document and compensation before entering the Xiao Clan. After Nalan Yanran attacked him, Lin Dong disarmed her, seized her, and spanked her.

• Ge Ye searched for the unseen speaker and warned Nalan Yanran to stay close, but Lin Dong appeared behind him without being detected.

• Ge Ye lunged at Lin Dong, but Lin Dong flung Nalan Yanran's sword at him and pulled Nalan Yanran into his arms.
• Lin Dong declared that Nalan Yanran deserved a spanking and struck her.

Lin Dong defeated Ge Ye after Nalan Yanran struck him, then secured the Xiao Clan’s marriage agreement and compensation. He challenged Nalan Yanran to face his second brother in three years, but she instead demanded a deadly duel with Lin Dong atop Misty Cloud Mountain.

• Nalan Yanran slapped Lin Dong, and Ge Ye attacked him before Lin Dong used her as a distraction and wounded Ge Ye with his dragon claw.

• Xiao Yan rushed to Lin Dong’s side, and his favorability rose past 101, granting them a friendship that would endure until death.

Lin Dong recovered enough to reassure Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, then gave Xiao Yan the marriage agreement and Qi Gathering Powder. After Xiao Yan left, Xun'er asked about Lin Dong's powers and offered him something, leaving him curious.

• Lin Dong reassured Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er about his injuries, and Xun'er told him he was her big brother too.

• Lin Dong thanked Xun'er for bringing Xiao Yan to witness the confrontation, then confirmed that he carried remnants of tiger and dragon power.
• Xun'er offered Lin Dong something, and he asked what it was.

Xiao Xun'er gave Lin Dong the Myriad Forms Chant, a rare Soundwave Dou Technique whose power and danger grew with the user's beast bloodline. After Lin Dong subdued the scroll's hostile aura, he remembered Nalan Yanran's Storage Ring might still contain treasures and opened it.

• Xiao Xun'er explained that the low Xuan tier Myriad Forms Chant could unleash far greater power but risked turning its user into a beast.
• Lin Dong accepted the technique, and his Azure Dragon body easily suppressed the ferocious aura emanating from the scroll.
• Xiao Xun'er warned Lin Dong that the poison corroding his left arm could become a burden, and he promised to address it.
• Xiao Xun'er left for the Marketplace, and Lin Dong celebrated gaining the technique and Xiao Yan's goodwill.
• Lin Dong remembered Nalan Yanran had not emptied her Storage Ring and hurriedly opened it to search for treasures.

Lin Dong explored Nalan Yanran’s Storage Ring and discovered its vast wealth, powerful Dou Techniques, rare ingredients, and valuable pills. When he opened several locked boxes and saw what they contained, he froze, while Nalan Yanran realized he had access to her undergarments and swore to kill him.

• Nalan Yanran glared toward Wutan City and vowed to kill Lin Dong.

After the secret realm exploration ended, Lin Dong learned that time in the Battle Through the Heavens Secret Realm was accelerating and used a pill to recover and grow stronger. The chapter left him rushing to respond after Zhou Gong reported that Bai Ruoxue was in trouble.

• Xiao Yan resolved to train his body so he could help his big brother, but his first punch triggered a mysterious old mentor to ask whether he wanted to become stronger.
• Lin Dong learned that his affinity with the Child of Destiny had caused time to accelerate in the secret realm, putting pressure on him to prepare for Nalan Yanran’s three-year agreement.

When a Bai Family member used Curse Words to force Zhou Gong to kneel, Lin Dong answered with his Myriad Forms Chant and summoned a giant tiger.

• Zhou Gong brought Lin Dong to the hospital, where Bai Ruobing confronted masked Bai Family members who wanted to keep Bai Ruoxue’s injuries unreported.

• The Mountain Lord’s roar shattered the Curse Words Technique used by a Bai Family martial artist and knocked him unconscious.
• Lin Dong advanced with Zhou Gong as the old woman ordered the masked Bai Family fighters to attack.
• The Bai Family fighters chanted “Die,” but Lin Dong summoned the Dragon Form: Abyss-Suppressing Prison and crushed them with its cries.
• The dragon’s power flattened the Bai Family fighters and forced the old woman to the floor, while Zhou Gong watched in disbelief.
• The old woman threatened Lin Dong, and Lin Dong pierced her throat with a venomous dragon claw, killing her.

Lin Dong learned that Bai Ruoxue’s injuries were far worse than Bai Ruobing had revealed, while Liu Ruyan offered to help save her and shield him from the Bai Family. After Zhou Gong explained that the Liu Family had formed a contract with Tsunade, Lin Dong recognized the source of Liu Ruyan’s abilities.

• Bai Ruobing thanked Lin Dong for letting Bai Ruoxue take credit for killing their enemy, and told him that Ruoxue had survived but still needed to recover.
• Liu Ruyan appeared, restrained Lin Dong with her strength, and revealed that Bai Ruoxue’s organs and throat were ruined, leaving her likely bedridden and unable to speak.

• Lin Dong realized Liu Ruyan had inherited Tsunade’s abilities, and Liu Ruyan caught him looking at her and teased him.

Liu Ruyan offered to recruit Lin Dong while healing Bai Ruoxue, but he rejected her pitch and demanded real benefits. Representatives of several powerful schools and the Apocalypse Conglomerate then competed to recruit him, until an elderly Special Affairs Bureau official arrived.

• Liu Ruyan promised to help Bai Ruoxue walk again, but said she could not restore her voice, and offered Lin Dong protection if he joined her.
• Lin Dong pointed out that healing Bai Ruoxue was already Liu Ruyan’s duty and cited Federation law to dismiss the need for her protection.

• Instructor Qin of Beidu Military Academy and Lu Ming of the Apocalypse Conglomerate arrived and each made Lin Dong a recruitment offer.
• Zhou Gong and Bai Ruobing watched as the powerful visitors competed over Lin Dong.
• An elderly man from the Special Affairs Bureau entered the corridor, making Liu Ruyan, Zhou Shan, Instructor Qin, and Lu Ming change their expressions.
