So should I assume it was intended to be a repeat chapter.

Authority is 50%, Domain is natural once a being reaches the domain realm

Probably just me again, but this chapter is identical to 155.

No need to spoil just wanted to point out that plot hole that was bugging me since it seemed too weird.

new reader not sure if this gets answered in later chapters, but with 2 students dying in the same general area, are the watches just no longer reporting location of deaths for the retrieval teams or does the school just not care? Also why was the emergency button not used? Seems sketchy for how a normal group of students have deaths without the instructors saving them. It was understandable in the MC's team to not run into those issues considering plot armour.

I find it unfortunate that the lizard forgot all about her because of seal, I thought it added a condition where it would unseal it's own memory when she comes by next.

No such thing

It should be that the seal uses the stats from the dragon at that time, plus normal beings take hundreds of years to go from rare grade to spirit grade. Given this, it would make sense for the dragon to be close excluding the draining fact that was occurring in the sect draining the vital energy from the dragon (assuming cultivation persisted during the vitality draining period of time). Furthermore, if a breakthrough were to occur, it sounds like the smart method of breakthrough is transforming into a human to get the martial spirit for merging with when completing the remaining part of becoming a spirit beast. Assuming this method is chosen so that the dragon will have the most power later on against humans then the dragon's normal stats would significantly drop. This would lead to the issue of if the seal is based on current dragon stats, the seal would significantly weaken as those dragon stats would be inaccessible, while accessible stats being that of the human counterpart stats). Furthermore, to increase probability of choosing to become human for the evolution, I would doubt if none of the other spirit beasts have not collected cultivation material for their kin to use so that at the minimum their starter point would be secured, rather than leaving a potential powerhouse to die from a ruffian on the street. I could be wrong on that assumption, but that sounds like a easy way to lose potentially strong Spirit Realm beasts otherwise. Especially since old enemies could use this opportunity to strike (referring to enemies from within their kin, likely ones that kill often for missions or otherwise). There has been examples with the trial to get into the fox place being one. during the process of getting to the exam one of the contestants killed several other foxes prior to getting to the trial grounds (forgot the name and specific species of fox) to support the argument of old enemies using the golden opportunity of when the dragon would be at their weakest state.

She can naturally unlock the memories either by the dragon unsealing them, or having higher stats than the dragon. I don't believe other methods were mentioned.
