• The Evil Orca King offered his Soul Ring in exchange for Lin Yun's promise to kill the Sea God and avenge his father.
• Lin Yun agreed, and the Evil Orca King sacrificed himself as his blood-red Soul Ring flew toward Lin Yun.

Lin Yun absorbed the Evil Orca King's 290,000-year Soul Ring, reaching level sixty-nine and gaining two powerful soul skills enhanced by his Golden Dragon King bloodline. After testing the skills, he turned his attention to the Evil Orca King's soul bone.

• Lin Yun finished absorbing the Soul Ring's power and looked toward the Evil Orca King's soul bone.

Lin Yun obtained the Evil Orca King's wing-shaped External Soul Bone and returned toward Douluo Continent with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress. Meanwhile, war resumed between the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires, and Crown Prince Xu Tianran waited for the Sun Moon Empire's old emperor to die so he could claim the chance to unify the continent.

Lin Yun returned to find Xue Qingci waiting for him in a maid outfit, and the two spent the night together while Electrolux and Xixi stayed out of it. The next morning, Lin Yun left Xue Qingci a valuable wing soul bone and flew to the Lake of Life, where Di Tian resolved to find him more soul-beast consorts from Star Dou.

• Ning Tian delayed obtaining her next Soul Ring so she could first get Lin Yun’s Glazed Jade Tea and evolve her Martial Soul.

The Myriad Demon King began Lin Yun’s mission to spread a sensational book about the history of three living Limit Douluo across the continent. The book’s story introduced the young Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui, who fell into a complicated romance and set off together to travel the continent.

• Lin Yun warned the Myriad Demon King to spread the books widely using Tree Seed avatars and avoid revealing his identity.

• Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui agreed to travel across the continent together.

Ye Xishui joined Mu En and Long Xiaoyao on their training journey, but she fell in love with Mu En, leaving Long Xiaoyao heartbroken.

The chapter revealed that Ye Xishui had secretly manipulated both men for years, and the account of their history ended as Qingye’s book began stirring turmoil across the continent.

• Long Xiaoyao shielded the unconscious Ye Xishui from Mu En and vowed to protect her, while Mu En angrily confronted him for his hypocrisy.
• Mu En explained that leaving Shrek to be with Ye Xishui would expose her and bring Shrek’s vengeance, so he chose to return to the academy while Long Xiaoyao left with her.
• Neither man realized that Ye Xishui had always been an Evil Soul Master who had concealed her martial soul and deliberately ensnared them.
• Ye Xishui used Long Xiaoyao to cultivate her Blood Soul Demonic Puppet and relied on Mu En to hide her activities, turning both powerful men into her pawns.
• Qingye recorded their history as “Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons,” and the book’s influence began spreading across the continent.
