Yu Tianlin brought Ye Lingling to Thunderbolt Academy and asked Vice Dean Lei Bao to arrange a dorm room and excuse him from classes for three months. Lei Bao agreed on the condition that Yu Tianlin place in the top ten of the Thunder Roar Tier final assessment, leaving Yu Tianlin free to begin developing Rasengan.

• Yu Tianlin took Ye Lingling to Lei Bao's apartment and introduced her as a rank twenty-three Nine Heart Begonia Support System Tool Soul Master from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Yu Tianlin asked Lei Bao to arrange a single dorm room for Ye Lingling, and Lei Bao gave him a document to take to the dorm manager.

• Yu Tianlin secured a dorm room for Ye Lingling, returned to his own dorm, and prepared to begin developing Rasengan.

Yu Tianlin and Ye Lingling developed the Rasengan by training their Soul Power through three stages. After twenty-five days, Yu Tianlin completed the skill and demonstrated its power, leaving Ye Lingling astonished.

• Yu Tianlin trained Ye Lingling in tree-climbing and water-walking while beginning the Rasengan’s first stage with a thin porcelain bowl.
• After four days, Yu Tianlin learned to shatter the bowl with irregular Soul Power and taught Ye Lingling the first stage.
• Yu Tianlin completed the rubber-ball stage after a week, then began the third stage, repeatedly breaking costly porcelain bowls as he practiced concentrating the Rasengan’s power.

• Yu Tianlin told the Emperor Team that he and Ye Lingling had succeeded in developing a powerful Self-Created Soul Skill, and Qin Ming invited Ye Lingling to demonstrate it.

Ye Lingling faced Shi Mo in a spar to demonstrate the Self-Created Soul Skill she had learned, Rasengan. The skill struck and rapidly shredded Shi Mo’s turtle-shell defense, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Yu Tianlin identified Ye Lingling’s attack as Rasengan as she struck Shi Mo’s shell with a ball of Soul Power.
• Rasengan hit Shi Mo’s turtle shell and rapidly shredded it apart.

Ye Lingling used Yu Tianlin’s Rasengan to damage Shi Mo’s Mystic Turtle defense, impressing the spectators and Qin Ming. When Shi Mo brought out his Shield Transformation, Yu Tianlin insisted Ye Lingling still had a chance to win, and Qin Ming let the match continue to see what she could do.

• Ye Lingling’s Rasengan ground a deep groove into Shi Mo’s tortoise shell before she dispersed it and let him retreat.

• Qin Ming agreed to let Ye Lingling and Shi Mo continue fighting.

• Shi Mo retreated and threw one of his turtle-shell shields at Ye Lingling while keeping the other raised for defense.
• Ye Lingling charged toward the shield, and Shi Mo redirected it to sweep past her and attack her from behind.
• Ye Lingling used the Soul Power line to track the shield and struck it with her Rasengan, blasting it away and propelling herself toward Shi Mo.
• Shi Mo’s elder brother and Dugu Yan explained how Ye Lingling had read the shield’s movement, and Yu Tianlin credited her progress to two months of sparring.

After a year and a half of training, Yu Tianlin returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect early for his tenth birthday and received information on Medicine Masters from Yu Yuanzhen. While searching the documents for someone who could identify immortal herbs and treat Dugu Yan, he recognized a promising candidate.

• Ye Lingling began sparring with the Imperial Fighting members to build experience and protect herself.

• Yu Yuanzhen gave Yu Tianlin documents about people proficient in medicine and warned him not to neglect cultivation.
• Yu Tianlin set aside information on Dugu Bo and Yue Guan, then recognized a later name as someone who could help.

Yu Tianlin chose Yang Wudi as the person best suited to help with Dugu Yan’s poison and planned to travel to the Star Luo Empire after his tenth birthday celebration. After the celebration, Yu Tianheng prepared to leave for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Yu Tianlin decided not to go with him or return to Thunderbolt Academy yet.

• Yu Tianlin reviewed Yang Wudi’s abilities and medicinal knowledge and concluded that he could treat Dugu Yan’s poison.
• Yu Tianlin decided to seek Yang Wudi in the Star Luo Empire after his tenth birthday celebration, then continued cultivating by the Lightning Rod.

• Yu Tianlin endured a busy birthday celebration and told Yu Tianheng that the social obligations had tired him more than fighting.
• Yu Tianheng said he would leave for Heaven Dou Royal Academy the next day, but Yu Tianlin declined to go with him.

Yu Tianlin persuaded Yu Yuanzhen to let him travel to the Star Luo Empire to seek Yang Wudi’s medicinal knowledge, hoping to learn about immortal herbs and find a treatment for Dugu Yan. Yu Yuanzhen agreed on conditions, and Yu Tianlin confidently promised to reach Level Forty by age fourteen.

• Yu Tianlin planned to seek Yang Wudi’s help identifying and handling immortal herbs and treating Dugu Yan so he could gain access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Yu Tianlin told Yu Yuanzhen he wanted to visit Yang Wudi to explore whether medicine could help his grandfather break through to Level Ninety-Seven.
• Yu Yuanzhen agreed to let Yu Tianlin travel to the Star Luo Empire but required him to reach level thirty and obtain his Third Soul Ring first.
• Yu Yuanzhen insisted that an experienced guard accompany Yu Tianlin and that he obey the guard if danger arose.
• Yu Yuanzhen required Yu Tianlin to reach Level Forty before turning fifteen, and Yu Tianlin said he expected to do so by age fourteen.

After reaching level thirty, Yu Tianlin accompanied Yu Yuanzhen into Thunderbolt Canyon to find his Third Soul Ring. Yu Tianlin rejected the sect’s recommended Wrath of Thunderbolt, arguing that a spiritual-type skill would prepare him to withstand the Soul Shock from a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level forty.

• Yu Tianlin spent eight months cultivating in the sect and rose two levels to reach level thirty.
• With Yu Mingfeng in secluded cultivation, Yu Yuanzhen personally took Yu Tianlin to hunt for his Third Soul Ring in Thunderbolt Canyon.
• Yu Yuanzhen suppressed the attacking soul beasts with his Soul Power pressure and estimated that Yu Tianlin could absorb a six-thousand-year soul ring.
• Yu Yuanzhen recommended a six-thousand-year Thunderbolt Savage Dragon so Yu Tianlin could gain Wrath of Thunderbolt, a skill that amplified Thunder Attribute and Soul Power.
• Yu Tianlin told Yu Yuanzhen he wanted a spiritual-type Third Soul Ring to strengthen his Spiritual Power before attempting to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level forty.

Yu Tianlin explained Soul Shock to Yu Yuanzhen and decided to seek a spiritual-type Third Soul Ring to protect himself when he later absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Yu Yuanzhen took him through Thunderbolt Canyon, where they found a 5,800-year-old Shocking Thunder Soundwave Dragon.

• Yu Tianlin explained that Soul Shock could endanger him because he would absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring before adulthood.
• Yu Tianlin planned to strengthen his Spiritual Power with a spiritual-type Third Soul Ring and later use Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

• Yu Yuanzhen carried Yu Tianlin at high speed through Thunderbolt Canyon to search for the Soul Beast.
• Yu Yuanzhen found a 5,800-year-old Shocking Thunder Soundwave Dragon and asked Yu Tianlin what he thought of it.

Yu Yuanzhen hunted down a five-thousand-eight-hundred-year Shocking Thunder Soundwave Dragon so Yu Tianlin could absorb its Soul Ring. Yu Tianlin began absorbing it, while Yu Yuanzhen expected him to grow stronger and gain Double Arm Dragon Transformation.

• Yu Yuanzhen explained that the Shocking Thunder Soundwave Dragon's Soul Ring might grant Yu Tianlin a soundwave attack skill.
• The Shocking Thunder Soundwave Dragon attacked Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianlin, but Yu Yuanzhen blocked its soundwave and pursued it when it tried to flee.
• Yu Yuanzhen tore off the Shocking Thunder Soundwave Dragon's wings and smashed its ears, leaving it unable to fly or attack.
• Yu Tianlin stabbed the Shocking Thunder Soundwave Dragon through the eye with his shortsword, killing it as a purple Soul Ring formed.
• Yu Tianlin summoned his Martial Soul and began absorbing the Soul Ring while Yu Yuanzhen anticipated his improved strength and Double Arm Dragon Transformation.

• Yu Tianlin completed the absorption of the five-thousand-eight-hundred-year Soul Ring, doubling his Spiritual Power and increasing his Soul Power to level thirty-two.
• Yu Yuanzhen taught Yu Tianlin techniques to control his newly increased Spiritual Power, and Yu Tianlin quickly drew in most of its uncontrolled force.
• Yu Tianlin told Yu Yuanzhen that his Dragon Transformation could now extend to both arms and revealed his third soul skill, Thunder Dragon Roar.

Yu Tianlin reached Fengxing City with Zuo Jianping to visit Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan, learning that the Sacred Dragon Sect also operated there. Yang Wudi refused to meet him because he associated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect with the Clear Sky Sect, leaving Yu Tianlin turned away at the gate.

• Yu Tianlin and Zuo Jianping arrived in Fengxing City after a month of travel.
• Zuo Jianping explained that the Sacred Dragon Sect, led by rank-eighty-nine Tuoba Xi, was based in the city alongside the Breaking Clan.
• Yu Tianlin and Zuo Jianping reached the Breaking Clan manor and presented a calling card identifying Yu Tianlin as a visitor from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
• Yang Wudi cursed the Upper Three Sects and ordered the gatekeeper to send Yu Tianlin away.
• The gatekeeper returned Yu Tianlin's calling card and told him that Yang Wudi had no time to see him.

Yu Tianlin returned to the Breaking Clan after Yang Wudi initially refused to meet him, then used his knowledge of Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs to gain an audience. Yang Wudi eagerly welcomed him inside, leaving Yu Tianlin poised to negotiate a deal involving the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

• Yang Wudi refused to see Yu Tianlin despite Zuo Jianping explaining that he was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect master's grandson.
• Yu Tianlin considered how to reach Yang Wudi and decided to use his interest in medicinal research.
• Yu Tianlin returned and asked the gatekeeper to tell Yang Wudi that he had matters concerning Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs to discuss.
• Yang Wudi abandoned his work and rushed to the entrance after hearing about the herbs.
• Yu Tianlin confirmed that he knew about Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, and Yang Wudi invited him inside.

Yu Tianlin negotiated with Yang Wudi for the Breaking Clan’s knowledge of Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, agreeing to give him one herb in exchange for all their information. Yang Wudi returned with the clan’s collected materials so Yu Tianlin could identify the herbs found by his sect.

• Yu Tianlin told Yang Wudi that his sect had found four Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, including an Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, and asked how to handle them.
• Yang Wudi explained how to preserve and consume the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, then demanded two herbs for the rest of his knowledge.
• Yu Tianlin objected that two herbs were half of the sect’s entire discovery and threatened to consult other factions, so Yang Wudi lowered his demand to one.
• Yu Tianlin agreed to give Yang Wudi one herb in exchange for information about all Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.
• Zuo Jianping privately questioned Yu Tianlin about the herbs and his promise, and Yu Tianlin told him to keep the sect secret confidential.
• Yang Wudi returned with the Breaking Clan’s collected materials and handed them to Yu Tianlin.

Yu Tianlin agreed to give Yang Wudi the Aromatic Silk Beauty in exchange for his help treating a poisoned friend. Yang Wudi agreed to develop medicines to safely guide the toxins into a soul bone after learning the poison was Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.

• Yu Tianlin showed Yang Wudi records of four Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, and Yang Wudi chose the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
• Yang Wudi asked when he could receive the herb, and Yu Tianlin said it had not yet been harvested.
• Yu Tianlin asked Yang Wudi to treat a friend whose snake martial soul had fused with her toxins and damaged her body.
• Yang Wudi warned that clearing the poison entirely would dissolve her Soul Power, and Yu Tianlin suggested guiding the toxins into a soul bone instead.
• Yang Wudi agreed to formulate medicines to help remove the poison safely and asked what toxin she had; Yu Tianlin identified Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.

Yu Tianlin received Yang Wudi's antidote for Dugu Yan and promised to provide the Aromatic Silk Beauty, but Yang Wudi refused to let him leave before he saw it. The confrontation made Yu Tianlin recognize his own overconfidence, leaving him trapped until he could find a way to fulfill the bargain.

• After two months, Yang Wudi gave Yu Tianlin seven bottles of medicine and instructions for using them to draw Dugu Yan's poison into a soul bone over seven nights.
• Yu Tianlin asked for the medicine's formula, and Yang Wudi gave it to him before demanding to know when the Aromatic Silk Beauty would arrive.
• When Yu Tianlin said he would arrange delivery after returning, Yang Wudi suspected he was being deceived and pointed out that the Breaking Clan had fulfilled its part of their deal.
• Yu Tianlin assured Yang Wudi that he would hand over the Aromatic Silk Beauty, but Yang Wudi refused to trust his promise and insisted he stay until it was delivered.
• Yu Tianlin realized he could not obtain the Aromatic Silk Beauty without returning home and reflected that his self-important attitude had made him expect everyone to follow his plans.

Yu Tianlin insisted that he had to return before he could give Yang Wudi the Aromatic Silk Beauty, prompting Yang Wudi to reveal a poison as leverage. Yu Tianlin refused to take it, leaving their dispute unresolved.

• Yu Tianlin told Yang Wudi he could only hand over the Aromatic Silk Beauty after returning home, and Yang Wudi pressured him with his Soul Douluo-level aura.
• Yang Wudi discovered Yu Tianlin was not yet eleven and had three thousand-year soul rings, then agreed not to reveal the secret.
• Yang Wudi offered to let Yu Tianlin leave if he swallowed a poison that would kill him in a year without its antidote.
• Yang Wudi explained that the Breaking Clan's ties to the Star Luo Empire made threats from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect ineffective, and said he wanted the Aromatic Silk Beauty as promised.
• Yu Tianlin refused to take the poison, leaving the two in a stalemate.
