Zhu Zhuqing decided to remain at Shrek Academy until graduation, while Long Yun and Long You Jing prepared to return to Spirit City. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo reported his breakthrough, and Long Yun’s request that he look after Zhu Zhuqing ended with a startling misunderstanding about her being Long You Jing’s daughter.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Long Yun and Long You Jing she would try to forget Dai Mubai but wanted to stay at Shrek Academy until graduation.
• Long You Jing took Zhu Zhuqing back to Heaven Dou City, while Long Yun stayed behind and summoned He Caitou.

• Long Yun asked Dugu Bo to look after Zhu Zhuqing and help her if needed, and Dugu Bo mistakenly called her Long You Jing’s daughter, leaving Long Yun stunned.

Long Yun corrected Dugu Bo’s mistaken belief that Zhu Zhuqing was You Jing’s daughter and punished him with three punches from Du Busi. He then ordered Dugu Bo to help kill Xue Beng in cooperation with Xue Qinghe, leaving Dugu Bo to await contact and carry out the assassination discreetly.

• Dugu Bo mistook Zhu Zhuqing for You Jing’s daughter, and Long Yun clarified that Zhu Zhuqing was You Jing’s disciple, not her daughter.

• Zhu Zhuqing returned to Shrek Academy and ignored Dai Mubai while greeting Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and the others.
• Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji noticed Zhu Zhuqing's changed Soul Power, and Tang San sensed that she had become much stronger and dangerous.

Zhu Zhuqing revealed that a medicinal herb from her teacher had raised her Soul Power to level thirty-eight without harming her foundation. She challenged Tang San to a spar so she could test her new strength, and the chapter ended as they faced each other on the field.

• Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji confirmed that Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power had reached level thirty-eight, stunning the others.
• Zhu Zhuqing said her teacher had given her a medicinal herb, then defended her teacher when Dai Mubai criticized the method.

• Zhu Zhuqing defeated Tang San, and the Shrek group reacted with shock as she returned from their match.
• Grandmaster praised Zhu Zhuqing's Third Soul Skill but explained that Tang San had lost partly because he had not known what it could do.
• Zhu Zhuqing revealed that her Third Soul Ring came from a 2,100-year Netherworld Wolf King and that an herb had strengthened her body enough to absorb it.
• Dai Mubai felt increasingly inferior as Zhu Zhuqing's strength grew, while the Shrek group resolved to cultivate harder and grew more distant from her.
• Three days later, a man in white entered Pope Hall, signaled Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to stay quiet, and approached Bibi Dong without interrupting her work.

Long Yun returned to Spirit Hall and told Bibi Dong that the Divine Palace had powerful offensive Soul Tools capable of threatening even a Limit Douluo. He proposed establishing a Soul Tool Branch Academy at Spirit Hall Academy to teach and develop them.

• Long Yun startled Bibi Dong by sneaking up on her, got blasted by her Soul Power, and then soothed her with a massage as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left the hall.
• Bibi Dong asked why Long Yun had returned early, and he said he had news related to Spirit Hall’s plan to unify the continent.
• Long Yun explained that the Divine Palace’s Rank 9 Soul Engineer could make Ninth Level Soul Tools powerful enough to threaten a Limit Douluo, shocking Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong asked whether the elder could make Soul Tools for Spirit Hall, and Long Yun revealed that he had already planned to arrange it.
• Long Yun proposed creating a Soul Tool Branch Academy at Spirit Hall Academy so more people could learn to make and research Soul Tools.

Long Yun proposed secretly training Soul Tool engineers at Spirit Hall and gathered Bibi Dong and the enshrined elders to demonstrate a Ninth Level Soul Tool. The elders learned that such weapons could threaten a Limit Douluo, and Golden Crocodile Douluo agreed to test one as He Caitou prepared to fire.

• Long Yun persuaded Bibi Dong to establish a confidential Soul Tool class and arrange a demonstration outside Spirit City.
• Bibi Dong summoned the enshrined elders to Wilderness Plains, while Long Yun invited Hu Liena to attend and considered her potential for learning Soul Tools.
• Long Yun told the enshrined elders that He Caitou was a Rank 9 Soul Engineer and that Ninth Level Soul Tools could threaten a Limit Douluo.

He Caitou revealed his extraordinary age and unveiled his powerful Ninth Level Soul Tool, the Source of Destruction, as Qian Daoliu stepped in to test it. The chapter left He Caitou empowered by his Ninth Soul Skill, with his Soul Power surging to nearly four times its usual level before the attack began.

• He Caitou told Qian Daoliu he was twenty-four, astonishing everyone with his status as a Super Douluo at such a young age.
• He Caitou produced the dark purple Source of Destruction and explained that it was his most powerful self-developed Soul Tool.

• Qian Daoliu and He Caitou summoned their Martial Souls and Soul Rings as they prepared to test the Soul Tool.
• He Caitou used his Ninth Soul Skill, “I Have a Red Cigar!”, and his Soul Power surged to nearly four times its normal amount.

He Caitou activated the Source of Destruction and unleashed its four elemental forces against Qian Daoliu, who defended himself with Angel's Protection. As the attack continued, He Caitou warned that the lotus’s strongest strike was still to come.

• Long Yun learned that He Caitou’s Ninth Soul Skill, Soul Power Berserk Red Cigar, restored his Soul Power and tripled it for one minute.
• He Caitou poured nearly all his Soul Power into the Source of Destruction, activating the lotus and sending it into the sky.
• The Source of Destruction’s twelve petals separated into flame, ice, hurricane, and lightning elements, prompting Long You Jing, Bibi Dong, Long Yun, and the enshrined elders to retreat.
• The twelve petals attacked Qian Daoliu from every direction, and he used Angel's Protection to block the assault as explosions and elemental blasts devastated the surrounding land.
• He Caitou joined Long Yun’s group and said the Source of Destruction’s strongest attack was still coming, alarming the others, especially Golden Crocodile Douluo.

He Caitou’s Source of Destruction unleashed an explosion powerful enough to threaten Qian Daoliu, who survived by using Angel's Protection but exhausted his Soul Power. Impressed by the Soul Tool, Qian Daoliu backed Bibi Dong’s plan to make Soul Tools a top priority for Spirit Hall, and Long Yun and the others returned to Spirit City.

• The Source of Destruction formed a Black Hole that exploded into Extinction Flame, scorching the surrounding land and leaving a massive crater around Qian Daoliu.

• Long You Jing extinguished the remaining flames, and Long Yun, Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and the others returned to Spirit City.

• Xie Yue hesitated between the two herbs, and Long Yun recommended the chrysanthemum while leaving the final choice to him.

Long Yun gave Hu Liena the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and confessed that he wanted to be with her, despite also loving Long You Jing. Hu Liena agreed to their relationship, then successfully claimed and began absorbing the herb, whose effects appeared to be changing her martial soul.

• Long Yun gave Hu Liena the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and confessed his feelings for her.
• Long Yun admitted his relationship with Long You Jing, and Hu Liena agreed to be with him despite his divided affections.
• Hu Liena sprayed blood onto the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, causing it to separate from the Dark Obsidian Stone, then swallowed it to absorb its effects.
• Hu Liena's fox martial soul appeared to suffer intense pain as a red glow surrounded her, and Long Yun suspected the herb was making it evolve.

Long Yun watched Xie Yue and Yan absorb their Immortal Herbs and discover major improvements to their Soul Power and bodies. Yan’s Martial Soul became pure fire after its earth attribute transferred into his body, while Hu Liena was still absorbing her herb.

• Xie Yue finished absorbing his Immortal Herb, reached Soul Power level fifty, and gained a much stronger physique.
• Yan released his transformed Flame Lord Martial Soul, and Long Yun contained its heat with a Soul Power barrier so it would not disturb Hu Liena.
• Yan discovered that his Soul Power had reached level fifty and that his earth attribute had moved from his Martial Soul into his body, leaving his flames purer and hotter.
• Yan ran to get dressed after Xie Yue pointed out that his clothes had burned away, while Long Yun and Xie Yue laughed at him.

Long Yun showed Yan and Xie Yue that he had become immune to fire, then explained that Hu Liena’s Immortal Herb was evolving her martial soul. Hu Liena completed her transformation into a powerful nine-tailed fox and reunited with Long Yun, while the chapter ended with her reporting that her martial soul was more than ten times stronger.

• Yan challenged Long Yun to a duel, but Long Yun and Xie Yue convinced him to wait until he had absorbed his Fifth Soul Ring.
• Long Yun explained that Hu Liena’s martial soul was evolving after she absorbed an Immortal Herb, and he told Yan and Xie Yue about what had happened between them.
• Hu Liena’s fox martial soul transformed, gaining nine tails and red-and-white fur, and Long Yun speculated that it had become a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox.
• Hu Liena finished absorbing the herb and embraced Long Yun, then told Xie Yue and Yan that her martial soul was more than ten times stronger than before.

Long Yun learned that Hu Liena’s evolved Martial Soul gave her greater spiritual and physical strength, and named it the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox. He decided to take her to Fallen Forest in Death Canyon for a Soul Ring, despite warnings about the danger, because its Soul Beasts suited her and he wanted to investigate a rumored giant dragon’s remains.

• Hu Liena described how her evolved Martial Soul improved her spiritual power, physical strength, and illusion-based control, and Long Yun praised her.
• Long Yun suggested the name Nine-Tailed Divine Fox for Hu Liena’s Martial Soul, and she happily accepted it.

• Long Yun explained that Fallen Forest’s Soul Beasts had unusually strong bodies and would suit Hu Liena, while admitting he also wanted to search for the giant dragon’s Soul Bone.

Long Yun told Hu Liena and Bibi Dong that he planned to enter the Fallen Forest to search for a hundred-thousand-year Giant Dragon Soul Bone. Hu Liena revealed that an Immortal Herb had raised her Soul Power to level fifty and evolved her Martial Soul into a Nine-Tailed Divine Fox, while Bibi Dong accepted their relationship and agreed to support their dangerous trip.

• Long Yun told Xie Yue and Yan he would go to the Fallen Forest, then took Hu Liena to inform Bibi Dong of their plan.
• Bibi Dong examined Hu Liena after learning she had reached level fifty, worried that she had used an improper method to increase her cultivation.
• Hu Liena explained that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red had strengthened her and evolved her Martial Soul, then showed Bibi Dong her Nine-Tailed Divine Fox.
• Long Yun told Bibi Dong that he and Hu Liena were together, and Bibi Dong approved while warning him not to mistreat her.
• Long Yun confirmed he intended to search the Fallen Forest for the Giant Dragon Soul Bone, and Bibi Dong told him to take Yue Guan and Gui Mei for protection.

Long Yun prepared to explore Fallen Forest, and Bibi Dong arranged for Yue Guan and Gui Mei to accompany him because their Martial Soul Fusion Skill could restrain even a Limit Douluo. Before leaving, Long Yun gave Bibi Dong the Radiant Flame Grass for Qian Ren Xue, and his group reached Death Canyon after a long journey.

• Bibi Dong convinced Long Yun to take Yue Guan and Gui Mei to Fallen Forest for their powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Long Yun told Bibi Dong that Xie Yue and Yan had reached level fifty and needed soul rings, then learned that Bibi Dong wanted an Immortal Herb suited to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

• Long Yun surveyed Death Canyon's vast, dark entrance, then led the group inside after explaining that they would proceed carefully.
• The group encountered a nauseating stench, bloodstained ground, and scattered remains, so Yue Guan and the others moved into the air while Long Yun and the two women continued on foot.
• Long Yun told Hu Liena and Long You Jing to rely on their own strength and treat the journey through the canyon as training.
• As they ventured deeper, a giant snake attacked, and Long Yun pulled Hu Liena aside before cutting the creature in half with his Divine Axe.
• Long You Jing identified the dead creature as a mutated Black Phosphorous Python, and Long Yun left its pale purple soul ring behind as the group continued onward.

Long Yun, Hu Liena, and Long You Jing fought their way through Death Canyon, where frenzied Soul Beasts attacked without fear. Long You Jing suppressed the beasts so they could reach a forest whose powerful auras made her suspect it was Fallen Forest.

• Long Yun killed waves of attacking Soul Beasts and swiftly decapitated a Mutated Shadow Leopard after it wounded its leg and lunged at him.
• Hu Liena worried about Long Yun and resolved to seek a Soul Skill that would improve her close-combat ability.
• Long Yun asked Long You Jing to use her pressure to stop the attacks and speed their journey, and she forced the Soul Beasts to the ground.
• Long Yun, Hu Liena, and Long You Jing traveled through the canyon without further interference and reached a vast forest at night.
• Long You Jing sensed several dangerous auras ahead and warned that the forest was likely Fallen Forest.
