Chapter Summaries

After Zhu Zhuqing absorbed her Soul Ring, Lu Yuan and the others continued deeper into Sunset Forest to find a suitable Soul Beast for Hu Liena. Lu Yuan spotted a ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider stalking the group and decided to kill it, hoping it would drop an External Soul Bone.

• Lu Yuan welcomed Zhu Zhuqing into his embrace after she finished absorbing her Soul Ring.
• Lu Yuan and the others ate breakfast and continued into Sunset Forest to find a Soul Ring for Hu Liena.
• Lu Yuan heard a sharp sound and used his Double Pupils to reveal a hidden Man-Faced Demon Spider approaching the group.
• Lu Yuan recognized the spider as a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast with the Spider God Possession skill and considered the chance of obtaining an External Soul Bone.
• Lu Yuan decided the Man-Faced Demon Spider would not leave the forest alive.

Lu Yuan confronted a stealthy Ten Thousand Year Man-Faced Demon Spider and used his Double Pupils and Golden Dragon Spear to overpower it. After he forced it to reveal its Spider God Possession, the transformed spider faced him with renewed strength.

• Lu Yuan detected the concealed Ten Thousand Year Man-Faced Demon Spider and told Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing to wait while he attacked.
• Lu Yuan donned his Golden Dragon Armor and struck the spider with Double Pupils' Chaos Light, exposing it and badly damaging its armor.
• Lu Yuan used his Golden Dragon Battle Body to nullify the spider's web, then pierced it with his Golden Dragon Spear and began devouring it.
• The Man-Faced Demon Spider transformed, grew larger, restored its armor, and forced the Golden Dragon Spear out of its body.
• Lu Yuan recognized the transformation as Spider God Possession and prepared to face the strengthened spider.

Lu Yuan defeated the Ten Thousand Year Man-Faced Demon Spider after it used Spider God Possession, then drained its energy with the Golden Dragon Spear to test his theory about External Soul Bones. The energy raised him to level forty-eight, and he noticed something promising as the spider weakened.

• The Man-Faced Demon Spider used Spider God Possession, burning its cultivation to strengthen itself enough to rival a high-level Soul Sage.
• Lu Yuan repelled the spider's attack and used Double Pupils, Boundless Light to knock it out of its empowered state.
• Lu Yuan stabbed the spider with the Golden Dragon Spear and absorbed its energy while investigating how its External Soul Bone would appear.
• The purified energy raised Lu Yuan from level forty-seven to level forty-eight as the spider's body shriveled.
• Lu Yuan noticed something that delighted him while continuing to refine the spider's energy.

Lu Yuan preserved the strange energy from the Ten Thousand Year Man-Faced Demon Spider rather than absorbing it as an External Soul Bone, deciding it would suit his Teacher better. After seeing the Golden Dragon Martial Soul spirit bully the stored energy sphere, he recognized the spirit’s intelligence and considered how to give his Teacher the potential new soul bone.

• Lu Yuan sensed the strange energy from the Golden Dragon Spear flowing toward his back and realized it could become an External Soul Bone.
• Lu Yuan used Pure Qi Divine Power to divert the energy into his sea of consciousness instead of absorbing it, since he already had three External Soul Bones and disliked the spider legs’ appearance.
• The Seed of Primordial Qi formed the energy into a white sphere, and the Golden Dragon Martial Soul spirit flung it toward the edge of the sea of consciousness.
• Lu Yuan witnessed the Golden Dragon Martial Soul spirit’s mischievous act and realized its high intelligence could help him communicate with his Martial Soul.
• Lu Yuan decided to give the preserved External Soul Bone to his Teacher in Spirit City, where it might strengthen her existing Six-Winged Purple Light Wings.

Lu Yuan absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider's energy with the Golden Dragon Spear, using most of it to strengthen his three External Soul Bones rather than recklessly raising his level. After reassuring Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing about the spear's frightening devouring power, he resolved to keep that ability sealed except in dire circumstances.

• Lu Yuan decided the Ten Thousand Year Man-Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone would suit Bibi Dong and planned to give it to her.
• Lu Yuan decided to bring Ferros to Heaven Dou Imperial City, make him head of Heavenly Star Academy, and use an immortal herb and a Spirit Enhancement Pill to improve his strength.
• The Golden Dragon Spear drained the Man Faced Demon Spider, whose energy helped Lu Yuan break through one level and strengthen his three External Soul Bones.
• Lu Yuan explained to Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing that the Golden Dragon Spear could safely purify the spider's poisonous energy, and he promised not to use its devouring ability casually.

Lu Yuan helped Hu Liena defeat a Dream Demon Fox that suited her spiritual abilities, and she began absorbing its Soul Ring. The group prepared to return once she finished.

• Hu Liena asked about Lu Yuan’s gains from the Man Faced Demon Spider, and he said he had reached level forty-eight and used the remaining energy to evolve his three External Soul Bones.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo was astonished to learn Lu Yuan possessed three External Soul Bones.
• Lu Yuan and the others continued searching for a suitable Soul Ring for Hu Liena and encountered a twenty-three-thousand-year-old Dream Demon Fox.
• Lu Yuan gravely wounded the Dream Demon Fox with Chaos Light, allowing Hu Liena to defeat it.
• Hu Liena transformed into her fox form and began absorbing the Dream Demon Fox’s black Soul Ring.

Hu Liena absorbed the Dream Demon Fox’s fifth soul ring safely while Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing waited nearby. Afterward, Hu Liena’s spiritual power reached the Soul Sage level, and her Charm-infused aura briefly affected Zhu Zhuqing.

• Hu Liena began absorbing the Dream Demon Fox’s soul ring as Lu Yuan monitored her and Long Xiaoyao and Chrysanthemum Douluo guarded the area.
• Lu Yuan comforted Zhu Zhuqing, who was jealous of his closeness with Hu Liena, and promised he would never abandon her.
• Hu Liena continued absorbing the soul ring until dusk while Zhu Zhuqing rested against Lu Yuan.
• Hu Liena completed the absorption and released spiritual power mixed with Charm, reaching the Soul Sage level in spiritual power.
• Zhu Zhuqing was caught off guard by Hu Liena’s Charm and became dazed.

After Hu Liena absorbed the Dream Demon Fox soul ring and reached Soul King, Lu Yuan prepared to send her back, but she insisted on staying with him. He agreed and said she could come with him to meet Xue Er, leaving Hu Liena startled.

• Lu Yuan teased Zhu Zhuqing after she woke from an illusion, then admired Hu Liena's transformed appearance and joked with her about her Charm skill.
• Hu Liena told Lu Yuan that absorbing the Dream Demon Fox soul ring had raised her to level fifty-six and greatly improved her spiritual power.
• Lu Yuan told Hu Liena it was time to return, but three days later at the Icefire Yin Yang Well, she refused to leave and asked to stay near him.
• Lu Yuan explained that his secret identity and busy schedule made it difficult for Hu Liena to remain, but she insisted she could manage on her own.
• Lu Yuan finally agreed to let Hu Liena stay and told her to come meet Xue Er the next day, surprising her.

Lu Yuan brought Hu Liena to meet Qian Renxue so they could address the tension between them. Qian Renxue asked Lu Yuan to leave her alone with Hu Liena for a private conversation.

• Hu Liena hesitated to meet Qian Renxue, but Lu Yuan insisted she come and asked her to make concessions for his sake.

• Lu Yuan left Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Zhu Zhuqing alone to talk, while he reflected on his relationships and the Dragon King Hall's new recruits.
• After half an hour, Qian Renxue called Lu Yuan back into the study, where he found the three women calm and smiling.
• Qian Renxue said she no longer blamed Hu Liena or Bibi Dong and held Lu Yuan responsible for the hurt he had caused.
• When Lu Yuan offered to accept punishment, Qian Renxue punched him and, with Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing watching gleefully, gave him a beating.
• Qian Renxue said Lu Yuan's skin was so thick that her hand hurt, while his swollen face showed the three women had made peace with each other.

Lu Yuan taught Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Zhu Zhuqing the Zhe Secret, then arranged a residence in Heaven Dou Imperial City for Hu Liena. Three months later, Dragon King Hall had grown into a major force, and its completed headquarters was ready for its official founding.

• Lu Yuan healed his injuries with the Zhe Secret, teased Qian Renxue, and taught the technique to her, Hu Liena, and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Lu Yuan sent Zhu Zhuqing back to the academy and took Hu Liena to his residence in Heaven Dou Imperial City, agreeing to stay with her that night.
• Over the next three months, Lu Yuan reached level forty-nine while Dragon King Hall grew to two thousand Soul Masters, including seven Soul Sages and twenty Soul Emperors.

• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's construction team completed Dragon King Hall's headquarters, bringing the hall to the eve of its official founding.

• Lu Yuan comforted Qian Renxue and urged her not to hate Bibi Dong, calling her a pitiable person.

Lu Yuan reassured Qian Renxue that Bibi Dong loved her despite a secret hardship, and Qian Renxue decided she wanted a chance to speak with her mother. Qian Renxue asked Lu Yuan to accompany her to Mist Forest to obtain her sixth Soul Ring, where his system activated a sign-in task.

• Lu Yuan told Qian Renxue that she and Bibi Dong were both victims of someone else's wrongdoing, but he could not reveal Bibi Dong's secret.

• Lu Yuan explained that Dragon Emperor was away escorting his father and Mad Rhino Douluo was overseeing Soul Tool preparations, while Qian Renxue planned to bring Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo.

• Tang Yuehua, Tang San, and a stiff-faced middle-aged man reached a secluded village, where Tang Lin stopped them and asked who her companions were.

Tang San entered the Clear Sky Sect with Tang Yuehua while Yu Xiaogang was left outside, and Lu Yuan anticipated the sect’s coming ambush by Xiong Jun. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue revealed that Qian Daoliu had urged them to have a child, leaving Lu Yuan surprised by how soon he expected them to start a family.
