Chapter Summaries

Jiang Taichu left Ning Rongrong with Ye Lingling, paying her to keep the girl company while he cultivated. After learning Ning Rongrong was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect master's daughter and paid Jiang a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins a month, Ye Lingling regretted accepting only ten a day and realized she had been the sucker.

• Jiang Taichu refused Ning Rongrong's offer to pay him to play and brought her to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to meet Ye Lingling.

• Ye Lingling regretted lowering her price and cursed Jiang Taichu for paying her so little.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin gave Jiang Taichu a wooden sword containing three protective strikes, and three months later Jiang Taichu became a Soul Grandmaster but still lacked a Soul Ring. Xue Qinghe gave him a map marking a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's recent whereabouts in the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving Jiang Taichu with a lead on his target.

• Sword Douluo Chen Xin visited Jiang Taichu, warned him not to let Ning Rongrong suffer, and gave him a wooden sword containing three strands of sword intent.

Jiang Taichu left Heaven Dou City with Ah Yin to hunt the fifteen-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear whose location Xue Qinghe had revealed. After searching the Star Dou Great Forest, they found the bear, and Jiang Taichu prepared to fight it with his trump cards.

• Jiang Taichu told Ning Rongrong to stay with Ye Lingling while he went to the Star Dou Great Forest, and he declined Dugu Yan's offer to summon her grandfather for help.
• Jiang Taichu summoned Ah Yin, and they traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Ah Yin estimated the bear's location from Xue Qinghe's map.
• Ah Yin searched the marked area with her Blue Silver Grass network but found no trace of the bear nearby, so Jiang Taichu insisted they keep looking.
• The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear woke up a hundred li away and went to find food while Jiang Taichu and Ah Yin continued searching.
• Jiang Taichu and Ah Yin found the fifteen-hundred-year-old bear, which roared in fury at Jiang Taichu's provocative stare; Jiang Taichu faced it confidently with Ah Yin and Sword Douluo's wooden sword as trump cards.

Ah Yin defeated the fifteen-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, allowing Jiang Taichu to absorb its Soul Ring and record its bloodline. After gaining great physical strength and a Dark Gold Dreadclaw, Jiang Taichu discovered a dark gold Soul Bone and wondered if it was an External Soul Bone.

• Ah Yin fought the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, overcame its Berserk state with her Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and brought it down.
• Jiang Taichu delivered the final blow and absorbed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's Soul Ring while the Myriad Beasts Record merged its bloodline with his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline.

• Jiang Taichu summoned the Dark Gold Dreadclaw and tested its power, declaring it his strongest attack.
• Jiang Taichu noticed a dark gold Soul Bone beside the vanished bear and wondered whether it was an External Soul Bone.

Jiang Taichu fused the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s External Soul Bone and combined it with his bloodline attack to create the stronger Super Dark Gold Dreadclaw. He named the intelligent bear recorded in his Martial Soul Xiong Da, returned to Heaven Dou City with Ah Yin, and went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy as Ning Rongrong worried about his absence.

• Jiang Taichu summoned the recorded Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and learned from Ah Yin that recorded Soul Beasts gained human-level intelligence and could speak.
• Jiang Taichu named the bear Xiong Da and returned him to the Myriad Beasts Record before traveling back to Heaven Dou City with Ah Yin.
• After returning ten days later, Jiang Taichu put Ah Yin away and headed to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Ning Rongrong worried about him and planned to ask Grandpa Sword for help if he did not return soon.

Jiang Taichu returned after obtaining his Second Soul Ring, and Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan noticed that being near him made them feel unusually comfortable. He considered partnering with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to fund his Summoned Beasts, then asked Ning Rongrong whether she wanted to visit home, leaving her afraid he meant to send her away.

• Jiang Taichu reappeared before Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, who were surprised by how much taller he had grown.
• Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan separately felt an unusual comfort near Jiang Taichu and later agreed his recent change was likely responsible.
• Jiang Taichu assessed Ah Yin and Xiong Da’s growth and decided to seek a business partnership with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect rather than sell too much Life Essence.
• Jiang Taichu asked Ning Rongrong if she wanted to return to the sect for a visit, and she tearfully insisted that she did not want to leave him.

Jiang Taichu explained that his powerful bloodline might gradually cause Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's Martial Souls to evolve. They decided to move into his courtyard, where Ning Rongrong greeted them.

• Jiang Taichu told Ning Rongrong he wanted her to introduce him to her father for a major business deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Jiang Taichu brought Ning Rongrong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and proposed a business deal to Ning Fengzhi, claiming he knew of something that could raise the age limit of Soul Rings a Soul Master could absorb. Ning Fengzhi agreed to give Jiang Taichu thirty percent of the profits, and the chapter ended as Jiang Taichu asked him to estimate the discovery’s value.

• Jiang Taichu told Ye Lingling that Ning Rongrong’s Tool Martial Soul could not evolve through his bloodline, then left with Ning Rongrong for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Jiang Taichu described something that could let Soul Masters absorb higher-age Soul Rings earlier and asked Ning Fengzhi how much it could earn.

Jiang Taichu revealed how to process Whale Rubber so it could raise Soul Masters’ Soul Ring age limits, and Ning Fengzhi tested and confirmed its effects. Ning Fengzhi made Jiang Taichu a partner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, agreed to help him find cultivation resources, and offered him a Heavenheart Cardamom.

• Jiang Taichu explained that Whale Rubber had to be roasted into a golden paste to increase the age limit of Soul Rings a Soul Master could absorb.
• Ning Fengzhi tested Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and felt his physical condition improve, confirming its potential to raise Soul Ring age limits.
• Ning Rongrong regretted that Whale Rubber had not been available before she obtained her First Soul Ring, while Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo argued over who would take her to get her Second Soul Ring.
• Ning Fengzhi promised Jiang Taichu a thirty percent share from their deal and agreed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would help him find cultivation resources.
• Ning Fengzhi offered Jiang Taichu the sect’s Heavenheart Cardamom, which could improve mental power.

After Ning Fengzhi backed Jiang Taichu, Jiang returned to the Ye residence to ask Ye Qingxian about refining Heavenheart Cardamom into a pill. Learning that the recipe required Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and that a sacred place could improve the odds of success, Jiang decided to seek Immortal-Grade Herbs.

• Jiang Taichu left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Ning Fengzhi's token and returned to Heaven Dou City with Ning Rongrong.
• Jiang Taichu visited Ye Qingxian and asked whether she could refine his Heavenheart Cardamom into a pill.
• Ye Qingxian explained that the pill required a branch and leaves that had borne Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, an Immortal-Grade Herb.
• Ye Qingxian said refining an Immortal-Grade Herb in a place rich in heavenly energy could raise her chances of success, and that reaching Soul Douluo would improve them further.
• Jiang Taichu decided to seek Immortal-Grade Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and use one to help Ye Qingxian break through to Soul Douluo.

Jiang Taichu fed Xiong Da resources from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, raising the summoned beast’s age and strength to six thousand years and his own Soul Power Level to twenty-five.
