• Jiang Fan's soul power reached 99, astounding the crowd and prompting the testing teacher to wonder how quickly he would progress.

Yuanwu’s principal praised Jiang Fan and brought him to the school’s demon beast warehouse, where he offered him a two-star Rock-Armored Giant Snapping Turtle to contract. Fatty argued that Jiang Fan deserved a stronger beast, but the principal insisted that capturing a four-star demon beast alive required sufficient contributions.

• Yuanwu’s principal recognized Jiang Fan’s talent and praised his calm response to the attention of the students.

• The principal proposed that Jiang Fan contract a two-star Rock-Armored Giant Snapping Turtle to complement his archery.
• Fatty urged the principal to give Jiang Fan a three- or four-star demon beast, but the principal explained that Jiang Fan had not yet earned such a reward.

Jiang Fan tried to contract the Rock-Armored Giant Snapping Turtle, but a mysterious little turtle in a grand hall repeatedly shattered the contract formations. After killing several demonic beasts through the failed attempts, Jiang Fan approached another cage to try again.

• Jiang Fan rejected the Rock-Armored Giant Snapping Turtle as ugly before reluctantly choosing it to contract.
• Jiang Fan formed a contract mark on the turtle, while a little turtle in a grand hall sensed the connection and panicked.
• The little turtle shouted "Scram!" and shattered the contract mark, leaving the Rock-Armored Giant Snapping Turtle writhing in pain.
• Jiang Fan tried the contract again, but the little turtle shattered the formation once more and the Rock-Armored Giant Snapping Turtle died.
• Jiang Fan attempted to contract another demonic beast, which backed away in terror as he formed another magic formation.

Jiang Fan’s attempts to contract a demon beast failed when each beast died or fled in terror, so Yuanwu’s principal stopped him and offered to consult Yuanwu’s Beast Tamers. Elsewhere, the little turtle revealed that he had sensed his vanished Master trying to contract low-star beasts, prompting the woman to wonder whether the Church of Justice’s Holy Son was his reincarnation.

• Jiang Fan watched the demon beasts kneel and kowtow, then killed another by trying to form a contract with it.
• Jiang Fan continued experimenting until Yuanwu’s principal stopped him, and Fatty agreed not to contact the ancestor while the principal consulted Yuanwu’s Beast Tamers instead.
• The woman questioned the furious little turtle, who said his Master had tried to contract a Two Star demon beast and then One Star beasts, which he killed rather than share a master with.
• The woman asked whether the little turtle could locate his Master, and he said he could not, while vowing to make the Master answer for disappearing.
• The woman wondered whether the Church of Justice’s Holy Son was the Holy Lord’s reincarnation, recalling that she had sent Fatty to investigate and planned to send the little turtle into the Zhou Family Cultivation Secret Realm.

Jiang Fan was lured to a demolition site where Li Zhichao held Tang Duo hostage and planned to kill him. Jiang Fan arrived to save her and faced two third-rank fighters as they moved to attack.

• The woman insisted on joining the little turtle in the Zhou Family Cultivation Secret Realm, accepting that her strength would remain suppressed for a month.
• Jiang Fan wondered why the demonic beasts he touched kept dying, then received a call from Li Zhichao, who revealed that he had kidnapped Tang Duo.
• Li Zhichao taunted Jiang Fan and threatened Tang Duo, so Jiang Fan demanded the address and raced to 312 Qingxi Road.
• Jiang Fan found Tang Duo tied up on the sixth floor and refused to leave without her, offering to stay in her place.
• Li Zhichao ordered two third-rank fighters to attack Jiang Fan while he planned to keep Tang Duo hostage.

• Jiang Fan overpowered the two Third-Rank Martial Artists and killed one with a saber strike.
• The surviving fighter begged for mercy, and Jiang Fan earned system points by claiming to spare him before killing him as well.

• Jiang Fan stopped Li Zhichao from escaping and accused him of abducting his sister.
• Li Zhichao warned that his Sixth-Rank Martial Artist grandfather would avenge him, and Jiang Fan asked if he was threatening him.

Jiang Fan refused to spare Li Zhichao after Tang Duo was abducted, but Li Zhong arrived and forced him into a desperate fight against an early-stage fourth rank Martial Artist. As Li Zhong pressed his advantage, Jiang Fan sprang back and a volley of blue-and-silver needles pierced Li Zhong’s blade.

• Jiang Fan questioned Tang Duo, then rejected Li Zhichao’s pleas and threw a dagger at him.
• Li Zhong arrived to protect Li Zhichao, and Li Zhichao threatened Jiang Fan and his family.

• Li Zhong unleashed a storm of attacks, but Jiang Fan charged at him and then suddenly sprang backward.
• Li Zhong sensed danger behind him and turned to block several blue-and-silver needles that pierced his blade and pricked his skin.

• Jiang Fan used Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines and Psychic Power to kill Li Zhong after concealing the extent of his abilities.

• Crazy Old Man called Jiang Fan and scolded him for not checking in before asking which school he had chosen.
• Jiang Fan revealed that he had joined the Beast Tamer School, and Crazy Old Man was astonished before asking about Jiang Fan's first soul power test.

• Jiang Fan revealed that his soul power was 99 and that his soul-potential tester had exploded, leaving Crazy Old Man stunned.

• Jiang Fan arrived at school and noticed students discussing Li Zhichao while repeatedly glancing at him.

Li Renfeng confronted Jiang Fan at Yuanwu over Li Zhichao’s disappearance, but Jiang Fan denied involvement and rallied students against the Li Family’s intimidation. Principal Lu Chengjun intervened and challenged the plausibility of Jiang Fan killing the four missing Li Family fighters, leaving Li Renfeng unable to press his accusation.

• Fatty told Jiang Fan that Li Zhichao had vanished and that people suspected Jiang Fan was involved in a fight on Clear Creek Road.

• Li Renfeng lost his temper and unleashed his late-stage fourth-rank pressure on Jiang Fan and the students.
• Principal Lu Chengjun stopped Li Renfeng, reprimanded him for attacking a student on Yuanwu grounds, and pointed out that Jiang Fan could hardly have killed the four missing fighters alone.

• Li Renfeng threatened Jiang Fan before Lu Chengjun stopped him and used his authority to force Li Renfeng to his knees.

Meanwhile, the Li Family plotted against Jiang Fan, while Yan Tianyang remained confident that Jiang Fan would eventually surpass them.

• Jiang Fan told Lu Chengjun he wanted to enter this year’s Five-School League and summoned Big Black to prove he had formed a contract.
• Lu Chengjun warned that Big Black was only a one-star demonic beast and that the league’s real combat had caused deaths and lasting injuries.

• Outside Yuanwu, Li Yanhe warned Li Renfeng not to provoke the school and planned to kill Jiang Fan after suspicion around Zhichao’s disappearance had faded.
• Wei San asked Yan Tianyang whether to warn the Li Family away from Jiang Fan, but Yan Tianyang said they would not act while the matter remained under scrutiny and might later be no match for Jiang Fan.

Yan Tianyang defended his decision to let Jiang Fan face danger without a guardian, while Jiang Fan sought ways to grow stronger and earn money to upgrade Big Black. After reciting a semester’s textbooks from memory, Jiang Fan left Yuanwu and obtained a pass to enter Fortress No. 1’s Mercenary Guild.

• Yan Tianyang told Wei San that Jiang Fan needed to weather hardships and argued that his unusual abilities made him different from Ye Qizhen.

• Jiang Fan greeted Wei Cangyue as Instructor Wei, and Wei Cangyue grabbed his shoulder while the crowd and his teammates looked on in confusion.

Wei Cangyue invited Jiang Fan to join the Sharp Edge Squad after recognizing his exceptional archery talent, but Jiang Fan refused because he was too weak to enter the Outer Wilderness Zone. Wei Cangyue told him to contact him once he was above the third rank, while A San grew troubled by the captain’s interest in recruiting Jiang Fan.

• Wei Cangyue realized Jiang Fan was a Spirit Master and invited him to join the Sharp Edge Squad as an archer, unsettling A San and the other squad members.
• Jiang Fan refused the invitation, asking whether the squad took missions in the Inner Wilderness Zone; Wei Cangyue explained they mainly worked near the outskirts of the Outer Wilderness Zone.
• Wei Cangyue privately offered to let Jiang Fan finish off dying demonic beasts, but Jiang Fan still declined because he considered himself too weak for the Outer Wilderness Zone.

• The Shattered Star Squad reached Raging Wind Rift Valley and followed Wang Xuan inside.
• Jiang Fan extended his Psychic Power to its limit, giving him a clear view through the valley's poor visibility.

Jiang Fan led the Shattered Star Squad through the wind and sand, using his supposed magical artifact to guide them to a Nine-Colored Wind Chime Bird. When a demonic beast ambushed Wang Xuan, Jiang Fan killed it with two precise arrows and proved himself far more capable than a rookie.

• Cheng Ye noticed Jiang Fan dodging the windblown sand and rocks without a mark, and the team assumed he had a magical artifact.
