• Qian Renxue found Lin Luo and the egg, which began rolling happily across the floor.

• Yan melted the ice around Xie Yue and Hu Liena, but Xu Wenqiang knocked the frozen Yan off the stage, and Mailun declared him eliminated.

Yan thawed Xie Yue and Hu Liena, but Xu Wenqiang’s team gained the upper hand and knocked most of their opponents off the stage. Lin Luo stayed behind, used his Flame Tiger Martial Soul and an enhanced Fireball Technique to defeat Xu Wenqiang and stop the freezing attack, giving Xie Yue and Hu Liena time to perform their Martial Soul Fusion.

• Yan thawed Xie Yue and Hu Liena before leaving the stage, and they held off Xu Wenqiang’s teammates while Xu knocked Miao Duoduo, Sai Kaka, and Luo Ya off the stage.

• Qian Renxue nursed Lin Luo and fed Xiao Hong pastries after Guang Ling left.
• The next morning, Qian Renxue got ready as the first-birthday selection ceremony approached.

Qian Renxue brought Lin Luo to his first-birthday selection ceremony, where Qian Daoliu had deliberately left out the Angel Soul Seal. Lin Luo faced the many objects on the carpet, and the chapter ended with everyone watching to see what he would choose.

• Qian Renxue fed Lin Luo and got him ready while Xiao Hong ate leftover pastries.

• Qian Renxue placed Lin Luo in the center of the selection circle and encouraged him to choose whatever he liked.
• The Offerings, elders, and Bibi Dong gathered to watch Lin Luo, wondering what he would select.

At Lin Luo’s first-birthday choosing ceremony, he ignored the Soul Bones and Angel Clan memorial tablets and chose a blacksmith’s iron hammer, hoping to use Qian Daoliu’s promised request to obtain rare metals. Qian Daoliu revealed that the Angel Soul Seal had been hidden inside the hammer all along, leaving the hall stunned.

• Qian Daoliu expected Lin Luo to choose a Soul Bone or an Angel Clan patriarch’s memorial tablet, while the others worried he would pick an ordinary profession’s token.
• Lin Luo crawled toward the profession objects and grabbed the iron hammer representing blacksmithing.

• Qian Daoliu admitted he had targeted Lin Luo, then struck the hammer against the ground and exposed the Angel Soul Seal hidden inside it.
• The Angel Soul Seal appeared before the stunned gathering, and Lin Luo said, “6.”

At Lin Luo’s first-birthday selection ceremony, he chose a hammer containing the Angel Soul Seal, triggering a rule that named him Spirit Hall’s future ruler. Qian Daoliu reluctantly honored his promise to grant Lin Luo a hammer-related wish, while Lin Luo realized the rare metals he needed might be difficult to obtain.

• Lin Luo chose the hammer and uncovered the Angel Soul Seal, leaving Qian Daoliu dejected and astonishing the witnesses.
• Qian Daoliu explained that the Angel Soul Seal had to be included by tradition and that any child who chose it would become Spirit Hall’s future ruler.
• Qian Renxue argued that Qian Daoliu could not disregard the rule, while he insisted the future ruler needed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
• Guang Ling, Bibi Dong, and the others pressed Qian Daoliu to honor his promise to grant a wish related to Lin Luo’s chosen objects.
• Qian Daoliu agreed, and Lin Luo realized that several rare metals required for his wish were unfamiliar to him.

Lin Luo eagerly agreed to attend Lou Gao’s auction in Gengxin City, while Tang San also planned to go with Ning Fengzhi to obtain rare metals. A week later, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and their companions arrived at the city’s Spirit Hall branch, where Lin Luo slipped out of Qian Renxue’s robes.

Qian Renxue went sightseeing with Guang Ling and stopped at a street artist’s stall to have a picture drawn with Lin Luo.

• Bibi Dong shared a room with Qian Renxue and Lin Luo, then comforted Lin Luo after Qian Renxue scolded him for being careless.
• Bibi Dong learned Qian Renxue had reached level sixty without acquiring a Soul Ring and proposed hunting one for her in the Star Dou Great Forest after the auction.
• Lin Luo reflected on receiving his seventh Martial Soul Tag, Vast Spirit, and worried that the tags were appearing less often.
• Guang Ling invited Qian Renxue to explore Gengxin City, and she took Lin Luo along despite Bibi Dong telling her to keep a low profile.
• Qian Renxue asked a street artist to draw a picture of her and Lin Luo, and the artist froze when he saw her unveiled face.

Qian Renxue and Lin Luo had their portrait painted in Gengxin City, where Guang Ling told her that at her first-birthday ceremony she had crawled to Bibi Dong and called her Mommy. Back at the Spirit Hall Branch, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong prepared to bathe Lin Luo together.

• Qian Renxue paid a young painter to paint a portrait of herself and Lin Luo, attracting a crowd with her beauty.
• Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong watched from the crowd before leaving, and the painter finished the portrait.

• The host introduced Plate Crystal as the first lot, and Tang San told Ning Fengzhi that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needed to bid for it.

Lin Luo had Spirit Hall outbid Ning Fengzhi for two mission-related metals, turning the auction into a contest of wealth. When Lou Gao’s first armor set appeared, the hall fell silent and no one bid.

• Miles bid 1,000 Gold Soul Coins for Plate Crystal after Lin Luo wanted it, and Spirit Hall won the lot.

• Qian Renxue fed Lin Luo a chewed grape, and Lin Luo briefly spotted what he thought might be Xiao Hong outside the window.

• The host unveiled Lou Gao’s Gold Absorption Soft Armor as the final auction item.
