• The crowd accused Lin Yan of boasting and challenged him to demonstrate the guards’ strength, while Lin Yan said the shop allowed in-person verification and dismissed their questions about the most expensive guards.

Lin Yan explained the escort packages’ child-protection rules and eligibility requirements, while Zhu Zhuqing decided she would buy one to protect her daughter and herself. The crowd debated the packages’ extraordinary strength and cost as Zhu Zhuqing weighed which tier could keep her family safe.

• Lin Yan told Zhu Zhuqing that she could inspect the guards’ strength once Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo returned, then asked which package she wanted.

Zhu Zhuqing chose a Blazing Flame Guard to protect her daughter, agreeing to pay through installments and loans after learning about the guard’s strength and instant teleportation. Since the protection would begin the next day, Lin Yan let Zhu Zhuqing stay overnight and closed the shop, while the crowd outside prepared to spread news of its services.

• Lin Yan explained that families who accepted the benefits of cultivating a talented heir should repay the cost, and he would take payment by force if they refused.

Zhu Zhuyou reached level ten after one meal, then revealed that she sensed Lin Yan’s bloodline connection and knew he was her father. Lin Yan made her promise to hide their relationship, and at dawn a huge crowd gathered outside the Cultivation Room to see it open.

Lin Yan closed his shop for half a day to collect Zhu Zhuqing’s ten-million-Gold-Soul-Coin debt from the Zhu Family in the Star Luo Empire. After confirming the debt with the system, he activated Debt Collector Mode and unlocked an interface for customizing his power.

• Lin Yan hung a sign announcing that the shop would reopen in the afternoon and told the crowd he was going to collect a debt.

Lin Yan configured an overwhelming debt-collection combat template featuring the Xuanyuan Sword, nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, a paralysis Soul Bone set, and even-match cultivation. The system restricted the template to debt collection, and Lin Yan protested before it defended the arrangement by listing his commission and bloodline rewards.

• Lin Yan selected the Xuanyuan Sword, nine red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, a hundred-thousand-year Paralysis Set, and the even-match cultivation trait for Debt Collector No. 1.

• The system said Lin Yan could use the template only during debt collection, with his other permissions locked and no private use allowed.
• Lin Yan asked whether he could attack Soul Beasts or defend himself from ambushes, and the system prohibited unauthorized damage while promising to judge legitimate threats.
• Lin Yan complained that the system was making him work for free, and the system cited his commission and long-term bloodline feedback as compensation.

Lin Yan fused with the Xuanyuan Sword model and learned that the Cultivation Room provided Kunpeng as a mount for debt collection. He summoned the divine beast above Suotuo City and prepared to travel with Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyou to the Zhu Family.

• Lin Yan agreed to fuse with the Xuanyuan Sword model after the system threatened to send it to collect the debt without him.

• Lin Yan summoned Kunpeng, whose arrival tore open the sky above Suotuo City and terrified the people below with its immense pressure.

• Zhu Zhuyun told Zhu Wei and Dai Ya that Zhu Zhuqing had run away, while inwardly celebrating her own prospects within the family.
• Lin Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhuyou arrived above the Zhu Family estate on Kunpeng, whose terrifying pressure immobilized the guards.

• Lin Yan said Zhu Zhuqing had ordered a customized Cultivation Package and that he had come to collect her debt.
• Zhu Wei offered to pay the debt in full after checking the paperwork, and Lin Yan placed the Debt Contract and detailed account on the tea table.

Zhu Zhuqing brought Zhu Zhuyou to the Zhu Family and presented a ten-million Gold Soul Coin bill for her cultivation. After Zhu Zhuyou revealed her powerful twin martial souls, Zhu Wei wanted to claim her while refusing to pay, so Lin Yan offered to take her away.

• Zhu Zhuqing introduced Zhu Zhuyou as her daughter and asked her to show her soul power and martial souls.

• Lin Yan said he would take Zhu Zhuyou back if the Zhu Family refused to acknowledge the order, and Zhu Wei objected.

Lin Yan confronted Zhu Wei over Zhu Zhuqing’s debt and inheritance, then used the system’s Evenly Matched Trait to unleash his strength after Zhu Wei refused to pay. He struck down Zhu Wei’s defenses and split the Zhu Family’s great hall in two.

• Lin Yan argued that Zhu Wei wanted to keep Zhu Zhuqing without paying, while Zhu Wei claimed her borrowing was her own responsibility and denied she would inherit from him.
• Zhu Zhuqing heard Zhu Wei say she would not inherit and gave up hope that her family cared for her.
• After Zhu Wei insisted he wanted Zhu Zhuqing but would not repay the debt, the system designated him an enemy and synchronized Lin Yan’s strength to level 83 with eight Soul Rings.

• Lin Yan settled into the ruined hall while Zhu Zhuqing asked how Lin Yan’s escort service would protect her once its rules became known.
• Zhu Wei woke and threatened to summon the Zhu Family ancestor, who then woke and begged Lin Yan to spare the family.
• The ancestor agreed to pay twenty million Gold Soul Coins for the debt and the lives of the Zhu Family members.
• The Zhu Family Matriarch returned with Dai Zhenghua, who said he had come to resolve the matter and asked to see Lin Yan’s Soul Rings.
• Lin Yan released his aura and displayed nine blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, leaving Dai Zhenghua unable to recover his senses.

Lin Yan collected the Zhu Family’s debt and refused Zhu Wei’s request to buy a child because the family had defaulted and been blacklisted. Dai Zhenghua decided to travel with Lin Yan to order a child, while Lin Yan left with enough money to consider customizing one for himself.

• Dai Zhenghua recognized Lin Yan’s overwhelming power, conceded, and asked about his child-cultivation business.
• Lin Yan explained that customers could customize gifted children using a drop of blood, and Dai Zhenghua eagerly placed an order.

• Under Dai Zhenghua’s supervision, the Zhu Family gathered the twenty million gold soul coins it owed Lin Yan.
• Lin Yan split the payment between the system and himself, then fantasized about using his earnings to cultivate a talented child of his own.

After exploiting the Zhu Family’s payment to earn extra money, Lin Yan left the Star Luo Empire with Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyou. On the way through the Star Dou Great Forest, he spotted Ning Fengzhi’s group fleeing a beast tide and saw a chance to exploit his debt-collection powers for more than money.

• Lin Yan collected the Zhu Family’s debt, took extra money, and departed with Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyou aboard the Kunpeng.
• Zhu Wei sent spies to Suotuo City to learn about Lin Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, while Dai Zhenghua hurried after Lin Yan to order a child from him.
• Lin Yan’s Kunpeng crossed the Star Dou Great Forest, where he recognized Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Ning Rongrong, and her daughter fleeing Er Ming, Da Ming, and a beast tide.
• Lin Yan decided to intervene because he wanted to exploit his remaining Titled Douluo strength by restraining soul beasts so others could kill them.

Lin Yan planned to obtain a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and used Ning Fengzhi’s group to show off his power against the beast tide. He left them stunned after Kunpeng cowed the Soul Beasts and Lin Yan revealed nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.

• Lin Yan decided to seek a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and planned to use Ning Fengzhi’s group to help hunt a Soul Beast in exchange for saving them from the beast tide.
• Lin Yan arrived on Kunpeng above Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the others, and dismissed their warning to flee.

• Lin Yan drew the Xuanyuan Sword and revealed nine blood-red Soul Rings, shocking Ning Fengzhi’s group.

• Lin Yan released his Xuanyuan Sword’s ninth Soul Skill, combining its sealing domain with his Paralysis Domain to restrain Da Ming, Er Ming, and every other Soul Beast without injuring them.

• Lin Yan realized Little Supreme’s luck was exceptional and resolved to earn money so he could nurture more children.

Lin Yan released the Soul Beasts captured during the beast tide but kept a fifty-thousand-year Emerald Swan for its healing abilities. After Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo subdued her, Lin Yan announced that he would absorb her Soul Ring, leaving everyone stunned because he already had nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

• Lin Yan told Ning Fengzhi he would release the captured Soul Beasts, explaining that their attack had been a response to the poachers’ slaughter.
