Ning Chuan stunned his classmates by defeating Ma Hai with his Minute Subtlety Realm Flash Thunder Slash, then gained a lucrative teaching offer from Lu Mengyue. He accepted her offer to begin lessons after school, leaving Ma Hai and Zhang Wensi humiliated.

• Ning Chuan held Ma Hai at saber-point, then withdrew his Silver Blood Saber after Teacher Wang warned him about using Flash Thunder Slash dangerously.

Ning Chuan bought cheap Scale-Horned Pig meat to fuel his cultivation and discovered that injuries from unarmed combat could accelerate his Vajra Body training. During a school sparring class, he fought Ma Hai, who had been sent by Zhang Wensi, and left the fight eager to use Ma Hai as a regular training partner; Su Yun then called him to her office.

• Ning Chuan spent nearly all his earnings on hind-leg Scale-Horned Pig meat, whose slow digestion suited his nonstop Savage Bull Force cultivation, but learned that Vajra Body required expensive medicinal baths.

After Ning Chuan received a Vajra Body medicine packet from Su Yun, he used it in a medicinal bath and broke through to the second level overnight.

After receiving the first hundred thousand, Ning Chuan attacked Ma Hai, saying he would keep his word and would not ask him to hold back.
