Chapter Summaries

Quan Yi discovered that Dark Flame and Holy Flame could not directly amplify or transform into each other because their energies conflicted, so he used his Mental Power to force them into coexistence. After twenty minutes, he fused them into a controllable cosmic-looking flame he named “Nebula,” and demonstrated its cutting power.

• Quan Yi found that Dark Flame and Holy Flame could not be converted into each other or have their amplification effects stacked because their energies clashed.

• The fused flames formed a dark, star-filled mass that Quan Yi named “Nebula,” and his control over fire transformed.
• Quan Yi shaped Nebula into a blade and cut a deep mark into the ground, melting away the material it touched.

Quan Yi tested Nebula, a powerful self-created flame technique that nearly exhausted his Mental Power, before Feng Xiaotian arrived and challenged him for the last time. Feng Xiaotian vowed to give up pursuing Huo Wu if he lost, and Quan Yi summoned his Blazing Sun Gauntlets as their duel began.

• Quan Yi discovered that Nebula combined amplified flame abilities and reached Titled Douluo strength, but maintaining it rapidly depleted his Mental Power.
• Feng Xiaotian emerged from the entrance after secretly watching Quan Yi test Nebula and asked what the technique was.

• Quan Yi summoned his Blazing Sun Gauntlets for the first time against Feng Xiaotian, who unleashed azure light with a long howl.

Feng Xiaotian attacked Quan Yi with his evolved Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, while Quan Yi endured the escalating blows and tested a new way to counter them. By the thirtieth strike, Quan Yi was still blocking each attack with precise, white-lit punches.

• Feng Xiaotian possessed his martial soul, spread his wings, and warned Quan Yi that he would use his evolved Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes.

• Feng Xiaotian continued through the thirtieth strike, and Quan Yi repeatedly redirected his fists with white light to meet each Wing Blade.

Quan Yi defeated Feng Xiaotian by adapting the force of Feng Xiaotian’s attacks into a new technique, Borrowing Strength, and Feng Xiaotian accepted that he had lost his chance with Huo Wu. Inspired by the technique’s potential, Quan Yi went to the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop to prepare a thousand-kilogram iron stack for training.

• Quan Yi used the rebound from Feng Xiaotian’s attacks to strengthen his punches, adapting Feng Xiaotian’s combo into his own technique, Borrowing Strength.

Quan Yi used his Blazing Sun Gauntlets to heat a thousand kilograms of iron blocks from within, then began forging the fused pile with his bare fists. Blacksmith Yuan recognized Quan Yi’s strikes as the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, and the chapter left the blacksmiths comparing the technique with the Steam Forging Hammer.

Quan Yi’s Bicycle drew fierce interest at the auction after the host revealed it was made from the bones of a fifty-thousand-year Fire Spirit Holy Beast and could withstand immense power. The kingdom’s Prince won it for 120,000 Gold Soul Coins, while Quan Yi saw the Prince’s ostentatious reputation as useful publicity.

Quan Yi continued his training and business ventures while Huo Wu’s cultivation reached level 40 before she turned fourteen. Three days after her breakthrough, Huo Wu, Quan Yi, and Huo Wuxie entered the Star Dou Great Forest to seek her next Soul Ring, with Huo Wuxie worried about her plan to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

• Quan Yi divided the Bicycle shop’s income among Vast Sea City, the blacksmith shop, and savings, then returned to campus as the new semester began.

Quan Yi explained the risks of Huo Wu absorbing the Fire Spirit Ghost King's Soul Ring, then promised to weaken the beast's Mental Power with his Fifth Soul Skill. The group found the Fire Spirit Ghost King disguised as a blooming peach tree, and Quan Yi began attacking it as its flame energy struck back.

• Quan Yi warned Huo Wu and Huo Wuxie that the Fire Spirit Ghost King’s energy form and powerful Mental Power made its Soul Ring dangerous for Huo Wu to absorb.
