Yu Tianlin, a reincarnated child of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, prepared to awaken his martial soul on his sixth birthday while worrying about the sect’s future. He resolved to warn his grandfather about Spirit Hall’s coming attack and help the sect recruit Dugu Bo.

• Yu Tianqing told Yu Tianlin that his family expected him to surpass Yu Tianlin and restore their pride.

• Yu Tianlin decided to warn Yu Yuanzhen about the Spirit Hunting Operation and encourage Yu Tianheng to pursue Dugu Yan so the sect could enlist Dugu Bo.

On his sixth birthday, Yu Tianlin awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, delighting the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. He left the ceremony reflecting that his talent was impressive within the sect but might not be exceptional compared with other figures in the world.

• Yu Tianlin arrived at his Martial Soul awakening ceremony, where Yu Yuanzhen and the sect's elders watched.

• Yu Mingfeng confirmed that Yu Tianlin had awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
• Yu Tianlin's soul power filled the crystal ball, revealing Innate Full Soul Power.
• Yu Yuanzhen celebrated the result and announced a sect-wide celebration, while Yu Tianlin compared his talent with other powerful figures.

Yu Tianlin traveled with Yu Jian to Thunderbolt Canyon to obtain his First Soul Ring for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Yu Jian explained why dragon-blooded soul beasts were essential for Dragon Transformation and identified a Swift Electric Dragon as their target.

• Yu Jian escorted Yu Tianlin to Thunderbolt Canyon while Yu Tianlin's father entered seclusion to cultivate.
• Yu Jian explained that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters needed dragon-blooded soul beasts to achieve Dragon Transformation and avoid delaying or losing access to later transformations.
• Yu Jian described the First Soul Skill, Thunderbolt Dragon Claw, and its close-range and ranged attack abilities.
• Yu Jian said Thunderbolt Dragon Claw came from a Swift Electric Dragon, so they needed to hunt one younger than four hundred and twenty-three years.
• Yu Tianlin urged Yu Jian to hurry into the canyon.

Yu Tianlin and Yu Jian entered Thunderbolt Canyon to find a suitable Soul Beast, but a ten-thousand-year Lightning Wing Dragon appeared and forced them to flee. Unable to outrun it while carrying Yu Tianlin, Yu Jian prepared to throw him toward the safe canyon exit and hold off the dragon.

• Yu Tianlin spotted a Thunderous Hell Vine near the canyon entrance, and Yu Jian explained its slow growth, lightning-based cultivation, and eventual danger.
• Yu Jian led Yu Tianlin deeper into Thunderbolt Canyon to search for a roughly four-hundred-year-old Swift Electric Dragon, but they found no other Soul Beasts.
• A ten-thousand-year Lightning Wing Dragon appeared, and Yu Jian grabbed Yu Tianlin and ran while explaining that the dragon’s flight made escape difficult.
• The Lightning Wing Dragon attacked with a bolt of lightning, and Yu Jian dodged it before deciding to throw Yu Tianlin toward the canyon exit and confront the dragon alone.

Yu Tianlin tried to escape the Lightning Wing Dragon’s battle with Yu Jian but accidentally entered a Thunderous Hell Vine’s territory and was repeatedly attacked. After learning nothing of why the vine was so aggressive, Yu Tianlin fought back with lightning-conducting short swords and charged toward it.

• Yu Jian threw Yu Tianlin clear of the path, transformed through dragonification, and attacked the Lightning Wing Dragon with his black soul ring.
• Yu Tianlin ran toward the valley mouth, then dodged a Thunder Ball and realized he had entered the Thunderous Hell Vine’s territory.
• The Thunderous Hell Vine continued attacking even as Yu Tianlin tried to retreat, because it was on the verge of reaching the hundred-year level and would not tolerate an intruder.
• Yu Tianlin drew two short swords from his Dragon Mark Ring and charged the Thunderous Hell Vine, cutting its Thunder Ball apart and resisting the scattered lightning.
• Yu Tianlin swung one sword at another Thunder Ball and continued directing the other toward the Thunderous Hell Vine’s body.

After killing the Thunderous Hell Vine, Yu Tianlin discovered that its lightning had corroded his left arm and chose to absorb its Soul Ring to save himself. As he absorbed it, a streak of lightning emerged from a black fissure and entered the mark on his brow, causing a blue-violet cowlick to grow on his head.

• Yu Tianlin cut the Thunderous Hell Vine in two, killing it and leaving behind a nearly hundred-year-old White Soul Ring.
• Yu Tianlin realized that the Vine's corrosive lightning had entered his left arm and tried to suppress it with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and Soul Power.
• After Yu Tianlin's Soul Power ran low and his arm was overwhelmed by lightning, he decided to absorb the Vine's Soul Ring despite its low age and non-dragon origin.
• Yu Tianlin drew the White Soul Ring around himself, and its energy washed the lightning from his arm as he began absorbing it.
• A black fissure appeared beside Yu Tianlin, and a streak of lightning entered the mark between his brows before a blue-violet cowlick grew from his head.

Yu Tianlin completed absorbing the Thunderous Hell Vine’s soul ring after using its power to save his left arm, despite it lacking dragon bloodline. Yu Jian explained that the sect’s Dragon Source Fruit could make up for the missing Dragon Power, and the two set off back to the sect.

• Yu Jian reached Yu Tianlin and found him absorbing the Thunderous Hell Vine’s white soul ring.
• Yu Tianlin finished absorbing the ring and told Yu Jian that the vine had attacked him and its lightning threatened to cripple his left arm.
• Yu Jian accepted that Yu Tianlin had absorbed the ring to save himself and explained why Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters needed Dragon Species Soul Beast rings.
• Yu Jian said the sect had a Dragon Source Fruit that could supply the missing Dragon Power, though he did not mention how precious it was.
• Yu Jian and Yu Tianlin left Thunderbolt Canyon to return to the sect.

Yu Tianlin returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect with an underpowered First Soul Ring after using it to save his corroded left arm. Yu Yuanzhen adjusted his future skill path and promised a Dragon Source Fruit and a stronger Fourth Soul Ring, then sensed Soul Power in Yu Tianlin’s cowlick.

• Yu Jian and Yu Tianlin reported to Yu Yuanzhen that Tianlin’s First Soul Ring came from a Thunderous Hell Vine over ninety years old.
• Yu Tianlin explained that he had killed the Thunderous Hell Vine to clear the lightning corroding his left arm after Yu Jian diverted a ten-thousand-year Lightning Wing Dragon.
• Yu Tianlin demonstrated his Thunder Ball skill, and Yu Yuanzhen judged its power passable and revised his planned second and third Soul Skills.
• Yu Yuanzhen promised Yu Tianlin a Dragon Source Fruit to make up for the missing Dragon Power and vowed to find a Soul Ring close to five thousand years old for his Fourth Soul Ring.
• Yu Yuanzhen felt a faint Soul Power fluctuation in the raised strand of hair on top of Yu Tianlin’s head.

Yu Yuanzhen discovered that Yu Tianlin’s new blue-purple cowlick gave off Soul Power fluctuations and suspected it was an External Soul Bone. When Yu Tianlin channeled Soul Power into it, lightning struck the Council Hall and hit him, leaving Yu Yuanzhen to check his condition.

• Yu Yuanzhen noticed a faint Soul Power fluctuation from the blue-purple strand of hair on Yu Tianlin’s head.
• Yu Yuanzhen told Yu Tianlin to meditate and test the strand, explaining that it might be an External Soul Bone.
• Yu Tianlin sensed the fluctuation and injected Soul Power into the strand of hair.
• The strand stood upright with lightning around it, and a bolt of lightning tore through the Council Hall and struck Yu Tianlin.
• Yu Yuanzhen examined Yu Tianlin and ordered the guards who rushed in to leave.

Yu Tianlin discovered that his strange External Soul Bone ability attracted lightning that could only strike him, while his First Soul Ring unexpectedly turned yellow. Meanwhile, Yu Luomian confronted Yu Yuanzhen over giving Yu Tianlin a Dragon Source Fruit, arguing that the fruit was too important to use freely.

• Yu Tianlin tested his hair’s lightning-attracting ability twice, but he could not control the lightning and it struck only him until Yu Yuanzhen blocked the second bolt.
• Yu Luomian entered the Council Hall, and Yu Yuanzhen concealed the lightning incidents by claiming he had used the Power of Thunder.
• Yu Tianlin returned home and noticed that his Thunderous Hell Vine First Soul Ring had changed from white to pale yellow.
• Yu Luomian told Yu Yuanzhen that the sect elders knew about Yu Tianlin’s soul ring problem and objected to giving him a Dragon Source Fruit during special times.

Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen argued over whether to give the Dragon Source Fruits to Yu Tianlin or use them to strengthen the sect master, then agreed that Yu Tianlin and Tian Qing would duel in four months to decide. Yu Tianlin arrived with a newly pure-yellow soul ring, and he and Yu Yuanzhen suspected Lightning Strike had changed it.

• Yu Luomian warned Yu Yuanzhen that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect needed his strength to face Spirit Hall and urged him not to give the Dragon Source Fruits to Yu Tianlin.
• Yu Yuanzhen insisted the fruits should go to Yu Tianlin, while Yu Luomian proposed a duel between Yu Tianlin and Tian Qing in four months to settle the matter.
• Yu Yuanzhen accepted the challenge, and Yu Luomian left after warning him not to give Yu Tianlin the fruits before the duel.
• Yu Tianlin rushed into the Council Hall and showed Yu Yuanzhen that his soul ring had turned pure yellow and reached the hundred-year level.
• Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen concluded that Lightning Strike had caused the soul ring's change.

Yu Tianlin discovered that lightning strikes could increase his First Soul Ring’s age, and Yu Yuanzhen agreed to help him prepare for a fight to win a Dragon Source Fruit. Yu Yuanzhen kept the External Soul Bone secret and arranged four months of secluded training, leaving him excited about Yu Tianlin’s future prospects.

• Yu Yuanzhen concluded that Yu Tianlin’s External Soul Bone let him raise his First Soul Ring’s age by attracting lightning strikes.
• Yu Yuanzhen warned Yu Tianlin not to tell anyone about the External Soul Bone, then said he could earn a Dragon Source Fruit by defeating Yu Tianqing in four months.
• Yu Tianlin agreed to the fight after learning Yu Tianqing had Innate Soul Power of eight and a half.
• Yu Yuanzhen arranged for Yu Tianlin to train with Yu Jian each morning and afternoon, then cultivate and attract lightning at a secluded site at night.
• After Yu Tianlin left, Yu Yuanzhen imagined him gaining powerful later soul rings and laughed with excitement about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect’s future.

Yu Tianlin began intensive training with Yu Jian and learned that the Cultivation Chamber could amplify gravity. The chapter ended as Yu Jian explained that the stone pillar only conducted Soul Power and the gravity effect came from something beneath it.

• Yu Jian arrived while Yu Tianlin was eating and told him he would train with him starting that day, while Yu Rou cautioned them not to overwork Yu Tianlin.
• As Yu Tianlin and Yu Jian walked to the Training Ground, sect members discussed Yu Tianlin’s supposedly disappointing ten-year plant-type Soul Ring.
• Yu Tianlin deduced that elders had spread the news to pressure Yu Yuanzhen not to give him the Dragon Source Fruit, and resolved to defeat Yu Tianqing in four months.
• Yu Jian activated the stone pillar in the Cultivation Chamber, causing gravity throughout the room to increase.
• Yu Tianlin recognized the effect as Gravity Amplification, and Yu Jian told him the pillar conducted Soul Power while something beneath it produced the effect.

Yu Jian brought Yu Tianlin to a Cultivation Chamber and explained how Great Earth Demon Bear skeletons created a Gravity Field. After sealing Yu Tianlin’s soul power and exposing him to onefold gravity, Yu Jian left him adapting to its effects on his body.

• Yu Jian explained that naturally deceased Great Earth Demon Bear skeletons powered the chambers, with stronger skeletons allowing greater gravity.
• Yu Tianlin questioned whether onefold gravity would be challenging and learned Yu Jian would not let him use soul power to resist it.
• Yu Jian sealed Yu Tianlin’s soul power, and Yu Tianlin found he could still move under the Gravity Field.
• Yu Tianlin’s heartbeat and blood flow accelerated until he collapsed, and Yu Jian told him to breathe deeply.
• Yu Tianlin recovered enough to stand and realized that gravity acting on every part of his body had caused his distress.

Yu Jian began Yu Tianlin’s physical training in a double-gravity field, giving him three days to adapt before starting harder exercises. After a grueling morning, Yu Tianlin soaked in medicinal liquid and considered studying medicinal herbs, especially Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.

• Yu Jian explained how double gravity trained Yu Tianlin’s internal organs and sealed his soul power for morning physical training.
• Yu Jian gave Yu Tianlin three days to adjust to double gravity, then maintained the field while Yu Tianlin slowly moved around the chamber all morning.
• Yu Jian ended the session, released Yu Tianlin’s soul power seal, and carried him home before afternoon combat training.
• Yu Jian checked the medicinal liquid in Yu Tianlin’s room and told him to soak for an hour to recover.
• Yu Tianlin soaked in the warm medicinal liquid and thought about studying herbs so he could recognize Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs at Dugu Bo’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After finishing his morning training, Yu Tianlin ate lunch prepared by Yu Rou and reassured her that he could endure the regimen. He kept his unusual soul-ring situation from the rest of his family and decided to rest before afternoon training.

• Yu Tianlin finished bathing, changed clothes, and went to the dining hall hungry.
• Yu Rou served Yu Tianlin lunch and worried about the strain of his training and his coming fight with Yu Tianqing.
• Yu Tianlin reassured Yu Rou that Uncle Yu Jian's training was safe and asked her not to worry his father or Yu Tianheng about his soul ring.
• Yu Rou agreed to keep the matter quiet for now, though she expected his father and Yu Tianheng to learn about it later.
• Yu Tianlin learned that less than an hour had passed, then went to his room to rest before afternoon training.

Yu Jian explained Tian Qing’s likely First Soul Skill, Thunderbolt Dragon Claw, and demonstrated its close-range power and ranged attack so Yu Tianlin could prepare to counter it. Yu Tianlin learned that the skill was dangerous at both distances, leaving him without an obvious way to rely on ranged attacks.

• Yu Tianlin arrived early at the Cultivation Chamber and cultivated until Yu Jian arrived.
• Yu Jian said Tian Qing would likely possess Thunderbolt Dragon Claw and advised Yu Tianlin to study it and exploit the secrecy of his own First Soul Skill.
• Yu Jian demonstrated Thunderbolt Dragon Claw by crushing a refined-iron short sword with its close-range attack.
• Yu Jian warned Yu Tianlin that he would lose in close combat against Tian Qing, whose hand would be protected by Thunderbolt Dragon Claw.
• Yu Jian fired Thunderbolt Dragon Claw from about fifteen meters away and showed Yu Tianlin the damage it could inflict on a steel plate.

Yu Jian analyzed Yu Tianlin’s Thunder attribute Soul Skill and devised a plan to defeat Tian Qing by outlasting him and dodging his attacks. He began training Yu Tianlin’s speed and reactions with sandbags, and Yu Tianlin narrowly avoided the first lightning-charged throw.

• Yu Tianlin showed Yu Jian the damage caused by Thunderbolt Dragon Claw, then refused to reveal his First Soul Skill beyond describing it as a ranged, single-target Thunder attack.
• Yu Jian advised Yu Tianlin to keep his distance from Tian Qing, exploit his greater Soul Power, and wear Tian Qing down by making him spend Soul Power on Thunderbolt Dragon Claw.
• Yu Jian explained that Thunder Attribute Soul Masters had poor endurance and predicted Tian Qing could use his powerful skill only a few times, while Yu Tianlin could attack more often.
• Yu Jian began training Yu Tianlin’s speed and dodging by throwing sandbags at him, and the first one struck Yu Tianlin’s shoulder.
• Yu Jian added lightning to the next sandbag, and Yu Tianlin rolled aside to dodge it as it struck the ground and discharged its lightning.
