Chapter Summaries

Xian Lin'er explained that Xue Chen would regularly need to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire and discussed finding soul beasts with pure attributes for his first five soul rings. Xue Chen fabricated a story about finding rare whale rubber and an external soul bone in the Far North, and Xian Lin'er began refining the whale rubber for him.

• Xian Lin'er told Xue Chen that his ultimate ice attribute was the only way to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire, and warned him to restrain himself when Ma Xiaotao lost control.
• Xue Chen said he wanted his first five soul rings to come from soul beasts with pure wood, water, fire, earth, and metal attributes, and Xian Lin'er noted that such beasts were rare.
• Xue Chen showed Xian Lin'er a piece of exceptionally high-quality whale rubber and asked her to help prepare it for consumption.
• Xue Chen claimed he had found the whale rubber and a palm-shaped external soul bone on a corpse in an ice cavern while escaping a white calamity in the Far North.
• Xian Lin'er believed Xue Chen’s explanation, examined his strengthened right palm, and began condensing her Azure Flame Dragon martial soul’s power to refine the whale rubber.

Xian Lin'er refined the extraordinary whale glue and gave it to Xue Chen, whose body was overwhelmed by its powerful energy. When he lost consciousness and became physically intimate with her, she pushed him away, then realized he might die unless the energy was released.

• Xian Lin'er melted the whale glue with her cyan flame and noticed its unusual heat and fragrance affecting both her and Xue Chen.
• Xian Lin'er fed the refined whale glue to Xue Chen, and scorching energy surged through his body.
• Xue Chen lost consciousness, grabbed Xian Lin'er, and pushed open her clothes before she forced him away with Soul Power.
• Xian Lin'er realized the whale glue's energy might kill Xue Chen if it was not released, and she reluctantly reached toward his lower abdomen.

After absorbing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King whale rubber, Xue Chen woke in Xian Lin'er’s office with no memory of what had happened during the process. He returned to the freshmen’s dormitory, where Wang Dong struck him with her Clear Sky Hammer and sent him crashing through the railing again.

• Xian Lin'er questioned Xue Chen about what happened while he refined the whale rubber, but he remembered nothing and left for class.
• Xian Lin'er reacted with shame and anger after Xue Chen left, while he returned to the freshmen’s dormitory unaware of her feelings.
• Xue Chen walked into his room and found Wang Dong changing clothes.
• Wang Dong blushed, summoned her Clear Sky Hammer, and struck Xue Chen, sending him through the dormitory railing.
• Xue Chen landed outside on the Blue Silver Grass, and an aged voice warned him that he would have to pay for the broken railing.

Xue Chen apologized to Wang Dong for accidentally seeing her naked, but his insistence that they were brothers only made her furious. After Wang Dong attacked him in the walkway, Huo Yuhao thanked her for helping him complete Zhou Yi’s morning assignment.

• Mu En teased Xue Chen about being kicked out of his dorm room twice and told him to apologize to Wang Dong.
• Xue Chen caught up with Wang Dong and apologized, then argued that their incident was normal between brothers.

• Xue Chen persuaded Wang Dong to let go and return to the dorm room, while onlookers watched.
• Huo Yuhao approached with Tang Ya and Bei Bei and thanked Wang Dong for helping him complete Zhou Yi’s assignment.

Huo Yuhao invited Wang Dong and Xue Chen to eat his grilled fish, and the group gathered at his stall with Tang Ya and Bei Bei. While they waited, Tang Ya revealed that the Tang Sect had dwindled to three members after the Iron Blood Sect killed her parents and seized its holdings.

• Huo Yuhao invited Wang Dong to try his grilled fish and reluctantly agreed when Tang Ya asked him to invite Xue Chen too.

• Tang Ya explained that the Tang Sect had only three members left and that the Iron Blood Sect had killed her parents and taken the sect's holdings.
