Chapter Summaries

Quan Li told Quan Yi that the Family Plan had more than doubled the number of children with Innate Soul Power, then sent him back to focus on Blazing Fire Academy and the tournament. Quan Yi reunited with Huo Wu, shared news of his recent gains, and revealed the dragon horns granted by his new spirit bone.

• Quan Li told Quan Yi that seven children had awakened with Innate Soul Power, including one with a White Gloves Martial Soul and level-three Innate Soul Power.
• Quan Li and Quan Yi parted at the city gate, with Quan Yi heading to Saus City and Quan Li returning to Vast Sea City.
• Quan Yi returned to the academy and reunited with Huo Wu, praising her increasingly refined Peach Illusion while telling her about his ninety-thousand-year Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon soul ring.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu went to the academy's lowest Underground Flame Vein cultivation room, where Quan Yi revealed the dragon horns created by his spirit bone.
• Huo Wu admired Quan Yi's horns and suggested calling them Scarlet Dragon Horns.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu used the Scarlet Dragon Horns to improve their cultivation, and Quan Yi achieved a major increase in his cultivation speed. Later, Lou Gao revealed the Steam Car he had built, and Quan Yi arrived to inspect it.

• Huo Wu named Quan Yi’s External Soul Bone the Scarlet Dragon Horns, and Quan Yi adjusted their suction to create a suitable Fire Element concentration for her cultivation.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu meditated through the night, and both were pleased with their faster cultivation; Quan Yi estimated he could gain a level in a few months.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu left the Flame Vein, where other academy Spirit Masters later noticed the Simulated Cultivation Environment had weakened.
• Quan Yi visited Lou Gao’s second Blacksmith Shop and found Lou Gao presenting a crude Steam Car to the blacksmiths after three months of work.
• Quan Yi praised Lou Gao’s achievement and urged him to rest, while Lou Gao eagerly asked him to inspect the Steam Car.

Quan Yi praised Lou Gao for building a Steam Automobile, then urged him to focus on creating a production line so the vehicles could be mass-produced. After ordering Lou Gao to rest, Quan Yi revealed to himself that he intended to develop him into the Quan Family’s chief engineer and industrial designer.

• Lou Gao built a compact Steam Automobile, and Quan Yi praised his craftsmanship and expressed his concern for Lou Gao’s health.
• Lou Gao explained that the automobile carried two passengers, could reach one hundred kilometers per hour, and could theoretically run indefinitely with fuel and water.
• Quan Yi pointed out that the vehicle’s hand-forged components made it difficult to reproduce and proposed that Lou Gao build a production line for mass production.
• Lou Gao eagerly agreed to study production-line construction, but Quan Yi ordered him to stay out of the Forging Room for a week and recover.
• After leaving the Forging Room, Quan Yi revealed that his sternness had been an act and resolved to cultivate Lou Gao as the Quan Family’s chief engineer and industrial designer.

Quan Yi tested the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun that he and Blacksmith Yuan had developed, firing thousands of bullets in the underground shooting range. Its overwhelming power left both men convinced it could transform the Quan Family’s strength.

• Quan Yi visited the First Blacksmith Shop’s underground shooting range, where Blacksmith Yuan had prepared the new weapon for testing.
• Quan Yi fired the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun at steel plates a thousand meters away, piercing through the first two plates in under a minute.
• Blacksmith Yuan reloaded the gun, and Quan Yi fired more ammunition until the barrel overheated and vented steam through its cooling pipe.
• After using five belts and over a thousand bullets, Quan Yi declared that the weapon could change the continent, while Blacksmith Yuan imagined it defeating armies and felt a chill.

Quan Yi ordered mass production of machine guns and bullets, then tested the weapon’s power against his own Sixth Soul Skill. Scarlet Dragon Descent blocked the bullets without taking damage, leaving Quan Yi confident in its defense.

• Quan Yi ordered Blacksmith Yuan to produce one thousand machine guns and as many matching bullets as possible, using half the research funds to buy materials.
• Quan Yi examined the test plates and confirmed that the machine gun’s bullets could pierce thick steel, though their power fell after penetrating one plate.
• Quan Yi ordered Blacksmith Yuan to fire the machine gun at him from five hundred meters away.
• Quan Yi activated Scarlet Dragon Descent and summoned a massive dragon head that swallowed and protected him.
• Blacksmith Yuan fired freely, but the bullets bounced off the Scarlet Dragon’s head without leaving a mark.

Quan Yi tested the Scarlet Dragon's defensive strength against a machine gun, then used its claws and flames to process a huge stockpile of Pig Iron for his physical training. After feeling how much stronger he had become, he decided to attempt a seventy-two-hit forging combo.

• Blacksmith Yuan fired a machine gun at Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon for more than ten minutes, and Quan Yi's defense remained intact as his Soul Power ran low.
• Quan Yi left the shooting range and ordered blacksmiths to bring all one hundred thousand kilograms of Pig Iron from the warehouse to the Forging Room.
• Quan Yi summoned two Scarlet Dragon claws, lifted and fused five thousand kilograms of Pig Iron with contained flames, and shaped it into a flat block on the Anvil.
• Quan Yi hammered the softened Pig Iron and found that his strength and body toughness had greatly increased since his breakthrough.
• Quan Yi noted that his Gauntlets now weighed two thousand kilograms each and decided to try advancing from the Fifty-Four Hit Combo to the Seventy-Two Hit Combo.

Quan Yi completed the Seventy-Two Hit Combo, forging Blazing Heart Iron Essence with a Soul Tool-like ability to amplify flames. He discovered the metal could strengthen his Ultimate Fire.

• Quan Yi attempted the Seventy-Two Hit Combo, using his growing strength to build up the power of each strike.
• Quan Yi sensed a resonance with the Iron Essence as he hammered it, and his breathing gradually synchronized with it.
• Quan Yi landed the seventy-second strike, splitting the Anvil and compressing the Iron Essence into a basin-sized piece.
• Quan Yi infused the metal with soul power and discovered it produced flames stronger than his own, revealing its Flame Amplification ability.

Quan Yi discovered that his Seventy-Two Hit Combo could forge Soul Guidance Metal, which amplified flame power, and spent over a month refining and testing it. He showed a sample to Lou Gao and asked him to forge armor, leaving Lou Gao stunned by the metal’s unusual properties.

• Quan Yi examined the metal he had forged and found that infusing it with Soul Power made it ignite and amplify his Ultimate Fire by ten percent.
• Quan Yi and Blacksmith Yuan spent over a month studying Soul Guidance Metal as Quan Yi learned to forge it by sensing the metal’s breathing and communication.
• Quan Yi tested many metals, discovered they all gained varying degrees of Flame Amplification, and found that the effect let Huo Wu release Ultimate Fire.
• Quan Yi accumulated around a hundred thousand kilograms of Soul Guidance Metal, kept the successful pieces, and transported failed products to Vast Sea City.
• Quan Yi visited Lou Gao, asked him to forge armor, and showed him a glowing piece of Tungsten Steel that made Lou Gao recognize its unusual Soul Power Fluctuation.

Quan Yi commissioned Lou Gao to forge a set of Soul Guidance Armor from a hundred thousand kilograms of Soul Guidance Metals, explaining his many requirements for its abilities and fit. Lou Gao accepted the challenge and devoted himself to designing and making the armor, while Quan Yi provided the information needed to tailor it to him.

• Quan Yi showed Lou Gao the Tungsten Steel he had forged and explained how Soul Guidance Metal was made.
• Quan Yi asked Lou Gao to forge Soul Guidance Armor using the prepared metals, and Lou Gao accepted after Quan Yi provoked his pride.
• Quan Yi described the armor's requirements, including flame amplification, a shield and spear, compatibility with his Blazing Sun Gauntlets, and adjustable weight for training.
• Lou Gao sketched a vision of the armor, and Quan Yi was captivated by its battle-worn design.
• Lou Gao set aside his other work to create the armor and repeatedly gathered Quan Yi's physical and martial data, including details about his External Soul Bone.

Quan Yi funded Lou Gao’s Soul Guidance Armor research, then left Saus City for Sunset Forest once he had consolidated his strength. He reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and secretly captured Dugu Bo’s Nine-Section Emerald, intending to settle old affairs.

• Quan Yi gave Lou Gao tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins for Soul Guidance Armor research, while Blacksmith Yuan took over the Production Line project.
• Quan Yi consolidated his strength, reached level 62, and stayed at the Intermediate Academy with Huo Wu while their other teammates advanced to the Advanced Academy.
• Quan Yi left Huo Wu behind in Saus City and flew to Sunset Forest, where he entered the poisonous fog and reached the mountain hollow containing the red-and-white spring.
• Quan Yi recalled his past experiences at the spring and used simulated energy fluctuations to sneak up on Dugu Bo’s Nine-Section Emerald.
• Quan Yi bound the Nine-Section Emerald with a black fire rope until it stopped resisting.

Quan Yi discovered that the Scarlet Dragon Horns let him communicate mentally with Nine-Section Emerald and sent it to summon Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo reached the Medicine Garden, where Quan Yi greeted him from hiding.

• Quan Yi expelled the Extreme Cold Aura and absorbed the blazing energy as his Soul Power and Scarlet Dragon Horns cultivated automatically.
• Nine-Section Emerald submitted to the True Dragon Aura from Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Horns and called him master through a mental fluctuation.
• Quan Yi found he could use the Scarlet Dragon Horns for Spiritual Communication and commanded Nine-Section Emerald to call Dugu Bo.
• Nine-Section Emerald reached Dugu Bo, who sensed a guest and went to investigate the Medicine Garden.
• Quan Yi remained hidden as Dugu Bo searched for the intruder, then greeted him as Senior Poison Douluo.

Quan Yi revealed himself to Dugu Bo and proposed a negotiation at the mountain hollow. After the Nine-Section Emerald showed affection for Quan Yi, Dugu Bo learned he was Quan Yue’s son and worried that Quan Yi’s strength and choice of location left him at a disadvantage.

• Dugu Bo recognized Quan Yi’s voice and questioned whether he had brought powerful allies, but Quan Yi said he had come alone to negotiate.
• At Dugu Bo’s request, Quan Yi dispelled his Fire Spirit Body and revealed his formidable appearance, putting Dugu Bo on guard.
• The Nine-Section Emerald suddenly flew to Quan Yi and rubbed against him, easing the tension and prompting Quan Yi to tease Dugu Bo about his goodwill.
• Dugu Bo recognized Quan Yi’s Gauntlets Martial Soul, learned his name, and realized he was Quan Yue’s son.
• Dugu Bo pressed Quan Yi to explain the negotiation while worrying that Quan Yi had chosen the Medicine Garden and hot spring to exploit his weaknesses.

Quan Yi negotiated with Dugu Bo to share the treasured land, offering clues to cure Dugu Bo’s poison in exchange for using the spring water. The two swore by their Martial Souls, securing their agreement.

• Quan Yi proposed that Dugu Bo manage the Medicine Garden while he used the spring water, but Dugu Bo rejected the deal as unfair.
• Quan Yi revealed that he believed Dugu Bo was suffering from poison caused by his own Martial Soul, and Dugu Bo fell silent when Quan Yi linked it to his stalled cultivation.
• Quan Yi offered to provide ideas and clues that he claimed gave Dugu Bo more than a fifty percent chance of resolving the Toxin.
• Dugu Bo accepted Quan Yi’s conditions, hoping the solution could also free his granddaughter from the Curse of poison.
• Quan Yi and Dugu Bo swore by their Martial Souls, concluding the negotiation.

Quan Yi negotiated with Dugu Bo to share the Medicine Garden and suggested using Spirit Bones to store Jade Phosphorous Serpent toxins. After Dugu Bo left, Quan Yi rewarded the Nine-Section Emerald for helping him secure the agreement.

• Dugu Bo swore by his Martial Soul to honor their arrangement, then asked Quan Yi to explain his plan.
• Quan Yi explained that a Spirit Bone could store the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's toxins and potentially protect Dugu Yan from their harmful effects.
• Dugu Bo recognized the plan's promise but wondered whether Quan Yi had studied his Martial Soul to target him; Quan Yi urged him to try the method and asserted his freedom to stay in the Medicine Garden.
• Quan Yi revealed that the Nine-Section Emerald had told him about Dugu Bo's nighttime toxin backlash, and Dugu Bo warned him not to take advantage of the weakness.
• Dugu Bo left, and Quan Yi fed the Nine-Section Emerald jerky made from a ninety-thousand-year-old Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon as a reward.

Quan Yi entered the Blazing Yang Spring to cultivate and gain an advantage over Dugu Bo, but his Scarlet Dragon Horns began absorbing energy uncontrollably. As the horns neared their storage limit, Quan Yi tried to escape the spring and digest the energy before it overwhelmed him.

• Quan Yi sheltered the sleeping Nine-Section Emerald beneath the Aromatic Silk Beauty and considered Dugu Bo a target in his plans for the Medicine Garden.
• Quan Yi stripped, dove into the Blazing Yang Spring, and cultivated as its pure Fire-attribute energy filled his meridians.
• Quan Yi swam about one hundred meters down, where the spring's concentrated energy pushed his meridians to their limit.
• Quan Yi activated his Scarlet Dragon Horns, which unexpectedly began absorbing the spring's heat at maximum suction.
• Quan Yi tried to withdraw the horns and digest their stored energy while swimming upward, but their suction outpaced him and they neared their limit.

Quan Yi’s Scarlet Dragon Horns absorbed energy from the spring and began a second evolution, transforming his face as the process intensified. After enduring hours of pain, he opened golden vertical pupils, while Dugu Bo discovered he was inside the spring.

• Quan Yi realized the Scarlet Dragon Horns were evolving and stayed at fifty meters beneath the spring’s surface.
• Dugu Bo endured his nightly pain and, after it passed, went to the Medicine Garden to look for Quan Yi.
• Dugu Bo followed the Nine-Section Emerald to the spring and was shocked to find Quan Yi beneath its boiling water.
• Quan Yi’s horns grew longer as vermilion Dragon Scales spread around his eyes and across the upper part of his face.
• Quan Yi endured stabbing pain in his eye sockets and eyeballs while the evolution continued for several hours.
• The Scarlet Dragon Horns stopped absorbing energy, and Quan Yi opened dazzling golden vertical pupils.

Quan Yi discovered that his evolved Soul Bone had greatly enhanced his vision, Mental Power, and energy reserves, then emerged from the spring after enduring a long stay in its waters. Dugu Bo recognized Quan Yi’s newfound strength and accepted his invitation to share a meal.

• Quan Yi used his dragon pupils to perceive tiny particles in the spring, see through Dugu Bo and the Nine-Section Emerald, and observe their Soul Power.
• Quan Yi withdrew his External Soul Bone, swam out of the spring, and landed before Dugu Bo after hours underwater.
• Dugu Bo was shocked by Quan Yi’s endurance and noticed his greatly increased Mental Power and aura.
• Quan Yi invited Dugu Bo to breakfast, and Dugu Bo accepted.
• Quan Yi heated an iron pot in the spring and began roasting Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon meat while Dugu Bo watched.

Quan Yi shared a meal with Dugu Bo, who came to trust him enough to leave the Medicine Garden in his care while he prepared a Spirit Bone for his granddaughter. After Dugu Bo departed, Quan Yi examined the changes to his evolved Spirit Bone and discovered that his Scarlet Dragon Horns had become far more powerful.

• Dugu Bo questioned Quan Yi about the iron pot, then joined him for roast Soul Beast meat and noticed its restorative energy.
• Quan Yi shared a small piece of meat with the Nine-Section Emerald and outate Dugu Bo, who stopped when he was full.
• Dugu Bo told Quan Yi not to disturb the Medicine Garden and left to prepare a suitable Spirit Bone for his granddaughter.

• Quan Yi discovered that Super Vision let him see from great distances down to atomic structures, while the Eye of True Sight revealed energy within living things and objects.
• Quan Yi failed to see through the Blazing Sun Heart despite pushing the Eye of True Sight to its limit, then confirmed his Soul Power Level had risen to 64.
• Quan Yi spent more than a month cultivating, studying the Medicine Garden, feeding the Nine-Section Emerald, and researching Soul Tools while Dugu Bo searched for a suitable soul bone.
• Dugu Bo called Dugu Yan to his villa and gave her a ten-thousand-year Mandala Snake Right Arm Bone.

Dugu Yan absorbed a Mandala Snake Soul Bone and learned that the Jade Scale Serpent’s toxins were slowly poisoning her. Dugu Bo began forcing the toxins into her new soul bone, leaving her under crushing soul power pressure as the dangerous treatment started.

• Dugu Yan absorbed the Mandala Snake Soul Bone, raising her Soul Power Level from thirty-six to thirty-eight and gaining the Seed of Corrosion skill.
• Dugu Bo explained that the Jade Scale Serpent’s toxins were eroding Dugu Yan’s body, and she agreed to force them into the soul bone despite the risks.
