• Tang Hao sent Nangong Yu and Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest until Su Xiao and Tang San could protect them.

• Yu Yuanzhen asked whether the child before him was Su Xiao.

Su Xiao entered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Ancient Secret Realm, where Soul Power was forbidden and he would need to master a domain to escape. He discovered that the Dragon God Claw’s blood-red mist let him fight and grow stronger by absorbing dragon souls, but the realm remained perilous.

• Su Xiao proved his identity with his Martial Soul Possession and Rule the World, and the elders agreed to let him enter the Ancient Secret Realm.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained the realm’s dangers and warned that Su Xiao would need to master a domain to leave; Su Xiao entered without hesitation.
• Su Xiao awoke in a canyon, found that he could not use Soul Power or his usual techniques, and fled from an attacking dragon soul.
• Su Xiao used the Dragon God Claw’s blood-red mist as Soul Power and defeated the dragon soul by absorbing it.
• Su Xiao absorbed another dragon soul and confirmed that doing so increased both his Soul Power and the Dragon God Claw’s strength, though dragon souls were difficult to damage and escape remained uncertain.

Su Xiao received the Golden Dragon Spear in the Ancient Dragon Clan Secret Realm, but its hunger for dragon souls poisoned him and forced him into a desperate fight. After Xiao Bai absorbed fragments of the defeated dragon soul, he learned to draw the poison from Su Xiao, leaving them better equipped to survive the realm.

• Su Xiao signed in and obtained the Golden Dragon Spear, which eagerly tried to devour a pale dragon soul.

After two years trapped in the Dragon Clan Secret Realm, Su Xiao and Xiao Bai used the Day of Reincarnation to break into the dangerous Dragon Head and seek the source of Su Xiao’s Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul. They reached a dazzling white light deep within the Dragon Head, but its secrets remained unrevealed.

• Over two years, Su Xiao and Xiao Bai grew strong enough to contend with many of the Dragon Souls and discovered that the realm’s center lay in the Dragon Head.
• Su Xiao and Xiao Bai waited for the Day of Reincarnation, when the Dragon Souls would fall asleep and become vulnerable.
• As the ritual began, Su Xiao and Xiao Bai killed the fifty-thousand-year Black Flame Dragon Soul guarding the entrance to the Dragon Head.
• Su Xiao and Xiao Bai raced deeper into the Dragon Head, defeating increasingly powerful Dragon Souls before the half-hour ritual ended.
• After killing another hundred-thousand-year Dragon Soul, Su Xiao spotted a brilliant white light that shared the origin of his Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul.

Su Xiao and Xiao Bai broke through a golden barrier and found the sleeping Holy Light Dragon Emperor, learning that the Dragon Clan Secret Realm was a burial ground rather than an inheritance site. When the Dragon King tried to devour Su Xiao, he attacked its weakness and began fighting back.

• Su Xiao tried his skills and techniques against the golden barrier, but none of them could break it.
• Xiao Bai’s roar reminded Su Xiao to use Rule the World, which made the barrier fade so they could enter the inner chamber.
• Su Xiao and Xiao Bai found a sleeping Holy Light Dragon Dragon Soul, and Su Xiao sensed that his Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul originated there.
• The dragon soul awakened as the Holy Light Dragon Emperor, and Su Xiao realized it planned to devour him and resurrect itself in a physical body.
• Su Xiao raised the Golden Dragon Spear and attacked the Holy Light Dragon Emperor, aiming for the weakness in its head.

The clan elders crowded around him with matchmaking offers, while Liu Erlong drove them away.

• Su Xiao pierced the Holy Light Dragon Emperor and absorbed his fragments with Xiao Bai, whose strength rose to that of a thirty-thousand-year soul beast.
• The Reincarnation Ritual stopped, and Su Xiao realized the secret realm would soon collapse, so he stored Xiao Bai in the Wishful Treasure Bracelet and used his advanced martial soul to leave.
• Su Xiao emerged at the secret realm entrance as the dragon-shaped key turned to stone and crumbled, sealing the realm.
• Yu Yuanzhen sensed Su Xiao's return, and news of it quickly spread through the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• The elders of Nine Peaks surrounded Su Xiao with offers to match him with their female relatives, but Liu Erlong roared at them to leave.
• The elders backed down because Liu Erlong was powerful and nearing Soul Douluo, and Yu Luomian had likely called her back to inherit the Purple Lightning Mountain elder position.

Su Xiao returned from the Dragon Clan Secret Realm with Xiao Bai, a ten-thousand-year soul beast, and found that his martial soul had become the Holy Light Dragon Emperor and his Soul Power had reached the peak of rank forty-nine. At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s hall, Yu Yuanzhen asked whether Su Xiao had gained a domain, and Su Xiao said he had not.

• Su Xiao recalled spending two years killing dragon souls with Xiao Bai and discovered he could now control his martial soul and Soul Power, though he still needed a soul ring to advance.

• Su Xiao revealed his Holy Light Dragon Emperor Martial Soul, stirring the nine mountains and making the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples kneel as their cultivation improved.
• Eight shattered dragon bones emerged from the mountains, and the clan recalled the legend of the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

• The golden dragon entered Su Xiao, who absorbed the Snow Jade Crown and gained a fifth soul ring as his Soul Power reached Rank 60.
• Su Xiao released a domain that increased nearby Soul Power by at least twenty percent, and Yu Xiaogang suggested he name it.
• Su Xiao named his domain the Dragon Emperor Domain, saying it could strengthen dragon clans and suppress enemies.

After reaching Soul Emperor, Su Xiao declined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s offer to make him its heir and left to train with Tang Hao. He learned that Tang San had reunited with Ah Yin and gone to Slaughter City, while Su Xiao prepared to pursue his sixth soul ring.

• Tang Hao gave Su Xiao the Sky Dragon Horse's left leg Soul Bone and told him to absorb it.

After absorbing the Sky Dragon Horse Left Leg Bone and reaching level sixty-two, Su Xiao trained with Tang Hao for years to master the Clear Sky Hammer techniques. Tang Hao left to look for Tang San, telling Su Xiao and Xiao Bai to wait for him and return in three months.

• Su Xiao showed Tang Hao his flight Soul Bone Skill and Sixth Soul Skill, Dragon Emperor Flash Kill Annihilation, then fed a wild boar to Xiao Bai.
• Tang Hao began training Su Xiao with a fifteen-hundred-jin Clear Sky Hammer and taught him the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer as a foundation.
• After three months, Su Xiao mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, and Tang Hao began teaching him the Clear Sky Nine Wonders.
• A year later, Su Xiao had mastered the Clear Sky Nine Wonders, and Tang Hao taught him the Great Sumeru Hammer and Ring Detonation.
• After Su Xiao spent half a year practicing Ring Detonation until he could detonate up to six rings, Tang Hao left to handle some matters and told him and Xiao Bai to wait for Tang San.

Su Xiao and Tang San reunited with Tang Hao after Tang San escaped Slaughter City, then traveled to Moonlight Sect in Heaven Dou City to study noble etiquette.

• Su Xiao and Tang San graduated from the Moonlight Sect after a year of etiquette and zither study, and Tang San mastered his killing intent and neared level sixty.

• Su Xiao and Tang San reached Clear Sky Mountain and asked Tang Long to let them enter, but he refused despite their appeals.
• Tang Long summoned his six-ring Clear Sky Hammer and demanded that Tang San defeat him, dismissing Tang San’s hammer because it had no soul rings.

Tang San and Su Xiao reached the Clear Sky Sect, overcame Tang Long’s tests, and met Sect Master Tang Xiao. They offered Tang Hao’s soul bones and asked the elders to let them return to the clan and make amends for him.

• Tang San defeated Tang Long with Spider Web Restraint, and Su Xiao proved his Clear Sky Hammer was genuine before Tang Long allowed them to enter.

• Su Xiao and Tang San asked Tang Xiao and the elders to let them return to the clan, and Tang Xiao turned to the elders for their decision.

Su Xiao and Tang San accepted the six elders’ punishment so the Clear Sky Sect would acknowledge their ancestry on Tang Hao’s behalf. After enduring the first four elders’ attacks, they faced the Fifth Elder’s strike, with the Sixth Elder’s final blow still to come.

• Tang Xiao offered the six elders the sect’s two inherited spirit bones, and Su Xiao argued that Spirit Hall—not Tang Hao—was the Clear Sky Sect’s true enemy.

• The Fourth Elder reprimanded Tang Long for asking him to show mercy, while the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder’s final strike remained.

Su Xiao and Tang San earned the Clear Sky Sect’s recognition, then returned to Shrek Academy to reunite with their friends and teachers. Oscar, Nangong Yu, and Xiao Wu were absent, and Ning Rongrong hesitated when asked about Oscar.
