Chapter Summaries

Xian'er stopped Tian'er's deadly attack with an invisible defense, revealing the gap between their understanding of the law inheritance. Tian Xing realized Tian'er had lost because Xian'er had grasped its essence while Tian'er used only its superficial aspects.

• Tian'er struggled to push through the defense but could not break it, and she was left helpless.
• Tian Xing concluded that Tian'er had underestimated Xian'er and lost because Xian'er understood the law inheritance more deeply.

• Tian Xing gave Tian'er a healing pill and remarked that Chu Tiannan and Xian'er might be dark horses in the Genius Battle.
• At a safe clearing, Xian'er celebrated her victory but began coughing from her injuries, so Chu Tiannan used Cosmic Qi to treat her.
