Chapter Summaries

Tang San’s defense failed against Long Yun’s axe, forcing him to break the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill and suffer severe injuries. As Xiao Wu’s identity as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was exposed to the Titled Douluo, Tang San gathered his broken Eight Spider Lances to launch a counterattack.

• Long Yun’s axe bypassed Tang San’s Tortoise Shield, so Tang San abandoned the fusion skill and dragged his six companions out of the strike’s path.

• Long Yun warned Hu Liena and the others to defend against the poisoned fragments as Tang San collapsed to one knee, bleeding and barely able to breathe.

Long Yun imposed a penalty on Shrek Academy that threatened students who accepted Spirit Hall subsidies and later joined the school, forcing Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe to back down. He then summoned Tang Hao, who appeared beside Tang San as Spirit Hall’s elders prepared for a confrontation.

• Long Yun announced that Soul Masters receiving Spirit Hall subsidies would be killed if they later joined Shrek Academy, while those already enrolled would only be barred from joining Spirit Hall.
• Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe challenged Long Yun’s decision, but he threatened Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Fengzhi stopped Chen Xin from attacking and accepted the resolution.

• Tang Hao abandoned Xiao Wu, grabbed Tang San, and fled Spirit City after hurling his Clear Sky Hammer at Pope's Palace; Du Busi destroyed the hammer with one punch.

• Long Yun arrived at the battlefield and taunted the badly injured Tang Hao, while Du Busi stood ready beside him.

Long Yun pursued Tang Hao to Slaughter City, where Tang Hao sacrificed himself to send Tang San inside and was killed by Du Busi. Long Yun then entered the town and found a suspicious passage beneath a tavern, while Long You Jing warned him it might lead to a dangerous world with martial-soul suppression.

• Long Yun recognized Slaughter City and realized Tang Hao had sent Tang San into it to escape their pursuit.
• Tang Hao detonated his Eighth and Ninth Soul Rings and attacked Du Busi with an enormous Clear Sky Hammer.
• Du Busi met Tang Hao's attack with a punch, destroyed the hammer, and killed Tang Hao in the collision.
• Long Yun ordered Du Busi to take Tang Hao's body to Spirit Hall for burial, then entered Slaughter City with Long You Jing.
• Long Yun found a tavern strewn with corpses and a dark hole beneath its floor, and Long You Jing sensed that the passage led to a dangerous place with special martial-soul suppression.

Long Yun decided to enter Slaughter City after absorbing his Fourth Soul Ring, intending to kill Tang San and obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain. After discussing the plan with Bibi Dong, he also advised launching a war against the Clear Sky Sect, the Upper Three Sects, and the two great empires once Spirit Hall finished equipping its Soul Tools.

• Long Yun explained that Slaughter City's ban on soul skills made its trials fairer, then decided to absorb his Fourth Soul Ring before entering the city.
• Long You Jing offered to accompany Long Yun, but he persuaded her to stay behind and teach Zhu Qing while he trained alone.
• Long Yun told Bibi Dong he planned to enter Slaughter City and kill Tang San, and Bibi Dong urged him to obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Long Yun predicted that Spirit Hall's strength would frighten its rivals after the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament and suggested using the Clear Sky Sect as a pretext for war.
• Bibi Dong said Spirit Hall could begin its campaign in three years, after completing its Soul Tool equipment.

Long Yun and Bibi Dong planned to use Tang Hao’s death to provoke the Clear Sky Sect and justify an attack, and Bibi Dong handed Long Yun the three soul bones taken from Tang Hao. Long Yun then visited Xiao Wu in prison and offered her two choices, but she rejected his first proposal before hearing its conditions.

• Bibi Dong agreed to consult Spirit Hall’s elders before deciding when to act and discussed Long Yun’s plan to use the Clear Sky Sect as a pretext for war.

• Long Yun visited Xiao Wu in the Spirit City prison and told her Tang San had escaped alive.
• Long Yun told Xiao Wu that he did not intend to absorb her soul ring and offered her two choices, but she rejected becoming Hu Liena’s Sixth Soul Ring before hearing the rest of the terms.

Long Yun pressured Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself to Hu Liena by promising to revive her and her mother, but refused to spare Tang San. Xiao Wu agreed only if she could see her mother revived first, and Long Yun said they would have to wait until he, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena became gods.

• Xiao Wu rejected Long Yun's demand until he promised that he could revive her mother, then offered to sacrifice herself to Hu Liena if her mother could safely return to the Star Dou Great Forest and Tang San were spared.
• Long Yun refused to spare Tang San and warned Xiao Wu that her alternatives were sacrificing herself to Hu Liena or dying and becoming Bibi Dong's Soul Ring.
• Xiao Wu accepted the sacrifice in exchange for seeing her mother revived first, but Long Yun said he could not do that until he, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena became gods.
• Xiao Wu doubted that the three of them could become gods, so Long Yun revealed that Bibi Dong was undergoing the Rakshasa God's trial and Spirit Hall held the Angel God's inheritance.

Xiao Wu agreed to sacrifice herself to Hu Liena in exchange for Long Yun’s promise to revive her and her mother, and he released her from prison under Du Busi’s watch. After the tournament, the shaken survivors left Spirit City, where the Grandmaster faced despair over losing both arms and Ning Fengzhi worried about Tang Hao and Tang San.

• Long Yun persuaded Xiao Wu that agreeing to sacrifice herself to Hu Liena offered a chance at resurrection, while refusing meant certain death, and Xiao Wu accepted his proposal.
• Xiao Wu learned she would sacrifice herself when Hu Liena reached Level 60, likely within three and a half months, and Long Yun promised to give her freedom while Du Busi guarded her.
• Long Yun arranged a residence for Xiao Wu in Spirit City, instructed Bibi Dong and the Elders not to harm or trouble her, and ordered them to keep her identity secret.
• After the tournament, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, and the Shrek survivors left Spirit City; the Grandmaster awoke with both arms severed and fell into despair.
• Ning Fengzhi voiced his concern over whether Tang Hao and Tang San had escaped, explaining that he valued Tang San’s potential and Hidden Weapons.

After the attack left Tang Hao’s fate uncertain, Ning Fengzhi urged the empires and sects to unite against Spirit Hall, while Grandmaster vowed to help train their Soul Masters. Tang San reached Slaughter City in despair, where a mysterious black mist began changing him, and Long Yun distributed Soul Bones to Yan and Hu Liena.

• Dai Mubai and the others hoped Tang San and Tang Hao had survived, while Ning Fengzhi concluded that Spirit Hall’s overwhelming strength required the two empires and the Upper Three Sects to cooperate.
• Dai Mubai agreed to return to the Star Luo Empire and persuade his father to seek an alliance with Heaven Dou, and Ning Fengzhi proposed bringing the Clear Sky Sect out of seclusion.
• Grandmaster vowed to train Soul Masters if Spirit Hall was destroyed and Long Yun and Bibi Dong were handed over to him, then collapsed unconscious.
• Tang San reached Slaughter City after defeating the Black Armor Knight and lay exhausted, grieving Xiao Wu and believing Tang Hao had died.
• A black mist entered Tang San unnoticed, rapidly healing his wounds and altering his body as he fell asleep, resolved to take revenge on Spirit Hall and his father’s killers.
• Long Yun gave Yan an incomplete, over-thirty-thousand-year-old Right Arm Bone to absorb and kept a far more valuable Flame Three-Headed Lion Right Arm Bone for Hu Liena.

Long Yun gave Xie Yue and Hu Liena Soul Bones suited to them, and all three friends successfully absorbed their rewards. The next day, Long Yun and Long You Jing entered the Star Dou Great Forest to seek his Fourth Soul Ring, aiming for its dangerous Core Region.

• Long Yun gave Xie Yue Tang Hao's inherited Right Arm Bone, and Xie Yue accepted it before beginning absorption.
• Long Yun offered Hu Liena the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Head Bone, and she absorbed it after he reassured her he would find a better Soul Bone for himself.
• Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena finished absorbing their Soul Bones after about eight hours, then returned to rest while Long Yun slept.
• Long Yun and Long You Jing traveled from Spirit City to the Star Dou Great Forest and entered it near dusk.
• Long Yun identified the Core Region and its Core Circle as his destination for finding a Fourth Soul Ring, relying on Long You Jing to protect him.

Long Yun and Long You Jing traveled through the Star Dou Great Forest toward the Core Region, camping overnight after killing a ten-thousand-year Black Tiger. The next day, they startled a Golden Rock Turtle, which fled at remarkable speed, and continued on their way.

• Long Yun and Long You Jing walked through the forest and camped after traveling more than twenty kilometers.
• Long Yun killed a ten-thousand-year Black Tiger with one swing of his Divine Axe, and he and Long You Jing ate it for dinner.
• Long Yun and Long You Jing rested together overnight, then continued through the Mixed Region as Long You Jing's pressure drove nearby soul beasts away.
• Long Yun and Long You Jing found a Golden Rock Turtle sleeping in a river; after noticing Long You Jing's aura, it rolled away at astonishing speed.
• Long Yun and Long You Jing laughed at the turtle's escape and continued toward the Core Region.

Long Yun and Long You Jing searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable Fourth Soul Ring, eventually discovering a rare sixty-one-thousand-year-old Void Sable. Long Yun decided it was the soul beast he wanted, and asked Long You Jing to capture it before it escaped.

• Long Yun and Long You Jing entered the Core Region and traveled deeper toward habitats of fifty- to sixty-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
• Long You Jing searched nearby with her spiritual power, but she and Long Yun found no soul beast that met Long Yun’s expectations.
• Long Yun refused to let Long You Jing expand her search while weakened, and she reassured him that she believed he would grow strong enough to protect her.
• The next day, Long You Jing sensed a spatial fluctuation and identified a sixty-one-thousand-year-old soul beast passing nearby.
• Long Yun recognized the creature as a Void Sable after it looked at him disdainfully, and he asked Long You Jing to catch it for his Fourth Soul Ring.

Long You Jing captured a Void Sable by sealing space and Long Yun absorbed its sixty-one-thousand-year Soul Ring, reaching Rank 44 and gaining the Void Nine-hit Combo. The chapter ended with Long Yun testing the skill against Long You Jing, whose casual blocks withstood his increasingly powerful attacks.

• Long You Jing used her speed and spatial control to stop the Void Sable from escaping, then struck it until it could no longer fight.
• Long Yun chose to absorb the Void Sable's Soul Ring, and Long You Jing stood guard while he absorbed it over nearly twenty hours.
• Long Yun completed the absorption at Rank 44 and discovered his Fourth Soul Skill, Void Nine-hit Combo, which let him cross the void nine times while increasing the power of successive slashes.
• Long Yun activated his Second Soul Skill and demonstrated the Void Nine-hit Combo against Long You Jing, who blocked his first two attacks with casual swings.

Long Yun tested his Fourth Soul Skill, and Long You Jing judged that its nine stacked attacks could threaten even a low-level Soul Douluo if they were not interrupted. After finding a spatial Void Sable Left Palm Bone and leaving the Star Dou Great Forest with Long You Jing, Long Yun drew a Titled Douluo from the system and discovered it was Tang Chen.

• Long Yun unleashed nine stacked attacks with his Fourth Soul Skill, and Long You Jing caught his final axe strike with ease.
• Long You Jing explained the Soul Skill’s surprise-attack and power advantages, along with its weakness to interruption, and estimated that it could seriously injure a low-level Soul Douluo.
• Long Yun dissected the Void Sable and found its weightless, spatial Void Sable Left Palm Bone, which Long You Jing congratulated him for obtaining.
• Long Yun and Long You Jing flew out of the Star Dou Great Forest and reached a nearby town six hours later.
• Long Yun used the system to draw a Titled Douluo, and Tang Chen appeared in his room.

Long Yun absorbed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone and tested the sharp claws it granted him. He then began absorbing the Void Sable Left Palm Bone, entering a state of enlightenment as he comprehended the laws of space, with the absorption still underway.

• Long Yun renamed Tang Chen Long Chen and had him guard the room while he absorbed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone.
• Long Yun endured five hours of intense pain before successfully absorbing the Right Palm Bone.
• Long Yun summoned five dark golden claws, tested their sharpness by cutting his finger, and judged they could threaten powerful opponents.
• Long Yun began absorbing the Void Sable Left Palm Bone, whose energy repeatedly broke down and rebuilt the bones in his left palm without causing pain.
• Long Yun entered a state of enlightenment while sensing the laws of space, and after twelve hours, the absorption remained less than halfway complete.

Long Yun completed absorbing the soul bone and gained the ability to create spatial passages, though his first Space Shuttle attempt left him too exhausted to continue. After eating and recovering, he prepared to try traveling again with Long You Jing and Long Chen.

• Long You Jing and Long Chen guarded Long Yun as he spent eighty-four hours absorbing the soul bone and comprehending the laws of space.
• Long Yun awakened with spatial Black Holes flickering around him, and Long You Jing and Long Chen realized his control over space had advanced greatly.
• Long Yun revealed that his soul power had reached level forty-five and demonstrated a spatial passage, then took Long You Jing and Long Chen through it to an open area outside town.
• Long Yun staggered after the trip because he had gone without food and lacked the strength to sustain the passage, so Long Chen grilled soul beast meat while Long You Jing supported him.
• Long Yun ate until he recovered, then explained that Space Shuttle's cost depended on distance and the number of passengers, and said he could travel up to a thousand li alone.

Long Yun returned to Spirit City with Long You Jing and Long Chen, then showed Bibi Dong his new spatial abilities and explained his recent gains. He planned to leave for Slaughter City the next morning, with Bibi Dong agreeing to accompany him, and went to rest.

• Long Yun led Long You Jing and Long Chen through a Black Hole into the Pope's Palace, where Bibi Dong and the Chrysanthemum Ghost Duo Douluo prepared for their arrival.
