Chapter Summaries

Yu Yuanzhen confronted Lu Xuan at Yu Xiaogang’s urging and tried to seize Xiao Wu, whom he identified as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. After Lu Xuan severed Yu Xiaogang’s leg with a swift strike, Yu Yuanzhen transformed into his Martial Soul Avatar and attacked, leaving the outcome uncertain as a crowd gathered.

• Yu Yuanzhen tried to capture Xiao Wu and demanded that Lu Xuan kneel, cripple his martial soul, and surrender her.
• Yu Xiaogang joined Yu Yuanzhen in taunting Lu Xuan and demanding an apology, so Lu Xuan cut off Yu Xiaogang’s right leg with sword qi.
• Yu Yuanzhen realized Lu Xuan’s strength surpassed his own, but Lu Xuan challenged him to explain why he had come to provoke him.
• Yu Xiaogang urged his father to kill Lu Xuan, and Yu Yuanzhen finally attacked with his Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar.
• Yu Yuanzhen’s lightning dragon destroyed the surrounding buildings, while a blue-gold shield protected Xiao Wu and a crowd gathered to watch Lu Xuan face the attack.

Lu Xuan used his Purification skill to strip Yu Yuanzhen of his Dragon Transformation and Martial Soul Avatar, then defeated and mutilated him. He remained poised to kill Yu Yuanzhen despite threats and pleas, while Yu Xiaogang begged for his father’s life.

• Yu Yuanzhen transformed into a dragon beast and challenged Lu Xuan from the sky.
• Lu Xuan activated Purification, canceling Yu Yuanzhen’s transformation and enhancements, then drove him into the ground with a phantom sword.

• Yu Yuanzhen offered resources and blamed Yu Xiaogang, ordering him to kneel and apologize to Lu Xuan.
• Yu Xiaogang begged Lu Xuan to spare his father, but Lu Xuan raised his sword as Yu Yuanzhen panicked about Spirit Hall.

Lu Xuan killed Yu Yuanzhen and left Yu Xiaogang alive to suffer with his guilt and hatred. After taking Yu Yuanzhen’s soul bones and paying for the academy’s repairs, Lu Xuan comforted Xiao Wu at a hotel and considered the powers that had yet to approach him.

• Lu Xuan killed Yu Yuanzhen, and Yu Xiaogang collapsed in terror and grief over his father’s death.
• Lu Xuan healed Yu Xiaogang enough to keep him alive, told him to live on and seek revenge if he wished, then cut apart Yu Yuanzhen’s corpse to search for soul bones.
• Lu Xuan found three soul bones and a Storage Soul Tool, gave the academy dean money to repair the grounds, and flew away with Xiao Wu.
• The crowd blamed Yu Xiaogang for bringing the fight to Nuoding Academy, while Lu Xuan took Xiao Wu to a hotel because the academy was damaged.
• Xiao Wu wept against Lu Xuan as he comforted her and wondered whether Qian Renxue had already replaced Xue Qinghe.

Ning Rongrong arrived at Nuoding Academy with a seventy-thousand-year Soul Bone as a gift, and Lu Xuan accepted her as his disciple. He gave Xiao Wu the Soul Bone and other treasures, then prepared to help her refine whale rubber.

• The Nuoding Dean brought Ning Rongrong to Lu Xuan, and she presented her father's discipleship gift, a seventy-thousand-year Right Leg Bone.
• Lu Xuan accepted Ning Rongrong as his disciple, completing the system quest and receiving a God-Given Soul Ring and a ten-thousand-year increase to all his Soul Rings.
• Lu Xuan gave Xiao Wu Ning Rongrong's Soul Bone along with three more Soul Bones and advised her on which ones suited her cultivation.
• Xiao Wu said she would follow Lu Xuan's guidance, and he prepared to help her refine the whale rubber.

Lu Xuan helped Xiao Wu refine whale glue, strengthening her physique and raising her soul power, while Ning Rongrong watched and eventually asked to try it herself. By evening, Xiao Wu had reached level 20, and Lu Xuan hinted that greater progress was still ahead.

• Ning Rongrong mistakenly feared Lu Xuan was using whale glue for an improper purpose, but Lu Xuan told Xiao Wu to swallow a refined portion.
• Lu Xuan used his Psychic Tide soul skill to ease Xiao Wu’s discomfort and guided her in circulating the glue’s medicinal power through her meridians.
• After nearly an hour, Xiao Wu woke with impurities on her skin and reported that her physique, vitality, strength, and soul power had improved.
• Ning Rongrong questioned the effects, but Lu Xuan told her not to interrupt and had Xiao Wu continue consuming whale glue.
• Ning Rongrong saw Xiao Wu grow stronger and asked to try whale glue, so Lu Xuan split a portion of ten-thousand-year whale glue between them.
• That evening, Xiao Wu told Lu Xuan she had reached level 20, and he said the main event was still to come.

Lu Xuan helped Xiao Wu condense a thirteen-hundred-year second soul ring by supporting her with his soul skills and soul bone skill. Xiao Wu succeeded and revealed that her new second soul skill was Strong Kick, a single-target burst attack.

• Lu Xuan told Xiao Wu that her improved physical fitness could let her withstand a thousand-year second soul ring and asked her to condense a purely offensive skill.
• Xiao Wu trusted Lu Xuan and began condensing the ring while Ning Rongrong went to guard the entrance.
• As Xiao Wu struggled to raise the ring's age, Lu Xuan used Life Tide, Psychic Tide, and Revival to help her endure the strain.
• Xiao Wu successfully formed a thirteen-hundred-year purple second soul ring and completed her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul possession.
• Xiao Wu told Lu Xuan that Strong Kick gathered soul power in her leg for single-target burst damage and could use up to seventy percent of her soul power.
