Chapter Summaries

Quan Yi refined the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum’s Metal energy with Ultimate Fire while absorbing its medicinal power, opening six Hidden Meridians and accelerating the spread of his Vermilion Dragon Scale. When the Metal energy ran out just before its transformation was complete, he dove to the spring’s crushing depths and detonated one of his Gauntlets to supply more.

• Quan Yi used Ultimate Fire to refine the chrysanthemum’s Metal energy while guiding Vitality into his Martial Soul.
• Quan Yi opened six Hidden Meridians, boosting his absorption of Supreme Hot Yuan Power and his Soul Power recovery.
• Quan Yi entered the Yang Quan and drew energy from the Scarlet Dragon Horns as the Vermilion Dragon Scale spread across his body.
• The chrysanthemum’s Metal energy dwindled before the golden sphere could finish transforming, so Quan Yi dove to the bottom of the spring.
• Quan Yi detonated one Gauntlet to release its Metal energy, suffering soul-stripping pain and bleeding as the explosion was confined by the water pressure.

Quan Yi sacrificed both Blazing Sun Gauntlets to refine their Metal-attribute energy while enduring the damage to his Martial Soul. By chapter’s end, the condensed Dark Gold Energy had evolved into an Ultimate aura rivaling his Ultimate Fire.

• Quan Yi absorbed the fragments of one shattered Gauntlet and used its Metal energy to strengthen the Dark Gold Sphere, but the Ultimate Fire rapidly consumed it.
• Quan Yi opened all eight Hidden Meridians, recovered some cultivation, and used his fully activated Dragon Transformation to put on and seal the Scarlet Dragon Skyfire Armor underwater.
• Quan Yi detonated his remaining Blazing Sun Gauntlet, severely damaging his Martial Soul and draining his Spiritual Power and Soul Power.
• Quan Yi used his Scarlet Dragon Horns to gather and purify the scattered Metal energy around the Dark Gold Sphere.
• After half an hour, Quan Yi’s Dark Gold Energy condensed to thumb size and released an Ultimate aura that rivaled the Ultimate Fire.

Quan Yi used the Scarlet Dragon Horns to draw his Martial Soul Origin, now in the form of Ultimate Gold, into their energy space. He began striking it with a hammer condensed from his Vitality, Soul Power, and Mental Power to reconnect with it.

• Quan Yi recovered his cultivation to around Level 67 and realized he needed to recast his Martial Soul to pass the seventieth-level bottleneck.
• Quan Yi used his External Soul Bone to filter the Supreme Hot Yuan Power into Fire Element energy and activated Fire Ban to draw it in.
• Quan Yi pulled the Ultimate Gold Martial Soul Origin into the Scarlet Dragon Horns' energy space, where the heat weakened its sharp aura.
• Quan Yi condensed his Vitality, Soul Power, and Mental Power into a vermilion Scarlet Hammer and struck the Ultimate Gold repeatedly.
• Quan Yi used the hammer blows to sense the Ultimate Gold's toughness and forge a connection with his Martial Soul Origin.

Quan Yi forged Ultimate Gold until it developed spirituality and formed a bond with him, allowing it to return to his Martial Soul Space and reconnect with his Martial Soul Origin. As the Dark Gold Dragon absorbed his Fire-attribute Soul Power, Ultimate Fire reappeared, though the process had not yet fully settled.

• Quan Yi struck Ultimate Gold with his Scarlet Hammer, building his combo to seventy-two blows while forming a faint connection with the metal.
• Quan Yi continued hammering, and his eighty-one-hit combo made Ultimate Gold glow with delight and gain spiritual intelligence while the shattered Scarlet Hammer and violent vibrations badly injured him.
• Quan Yi joined his Mental Power with Ultimate Gold and entered its inner world, where the metal’s Gold Elements restrained their sharpness and he sensed the Blazing Sun Gauntlets’ aura.
• Quan Yi let Ultimate Gold leave the Scarlet Dragon Horns and enter his Martial Soul Space, where it took the form of a Dark Gold Dragon and restored its connection to his Martial Soul Origin.
• The Dark Gold Dragon absorbed Quan Yi’s Fire-attribute Soul Power, causing a small flame of Ultimate Fire to emerge as the burning sensation in the Scarlet Dragon Horns faded.

Quan Yi reshaped his martial soul as his fire immunity grew and a conscious dragon soul emerged within the Ultimate Gold. The Ultimate Gold finished forming into a new pair of clawed gauntlets, and the dragon soul chose a place to reside in them.

• Quan Yi’s Martial Soul Origin reconnected with his body, strengthening his fire immunity and letting him convert the accumulated flame energy into Soul Power.
• Quan Yi poured Soul Power into his Martial Soul Space, where the Dark Gold Dragon split into two spheres and revealed a conscious scarlet dragon soul.
• Quan Yi remained unaware that the dragon soul was the Fire Dragon King’s Dragon Soul Origin, drawn from the depths of Yang Quan and fused with the Ultimate Gold.
• The two spheres transformed into thin, close-fitting gauntlets with sharp golden claws as Quan Yi’s martial soul reshaping neared completion.
• The dragon soul shook its head and chose a place to live just before the gauntlets finished taking shape.

Quan Yi’s Martial Soul was reforged into the dual-attribute Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw, restoring and greatly strengthening his body. He tested its new Dragon Souls and learned they could transform into autonomous Little Dragons that could help carry him upward.

• The Dragon Soul split into dark-gold and crimson halves, entered the gauntlets, and fed Ultimate Gold and Ultimate Fire energy back into Quan Yi, repairing and strengthening his body and External Soul Bone.
• Quan Yi summoned the gauntlets and sensed the two Dragon Souls within them, one representing Ultimate Gold and the other Ultimate Fire.
• At Quan Yi’s encouragement, the gauntlets transformed into two miniature Little Dragons, which fused together and landed on his forearm.
• Quan Yi examined the Martial Soul’s dual attributes, Dragon Soul, and liquid-like shape-shifting, then named it Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw.
• Little Dragon climbed onto Quan Yi’s back and used flames from its tail to propel him upward.

Quan Yi emerged from the spring with his power greatly enhanced and watched as Huowu’s Sixth Soul Ring evolved while Wutong absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. He helped Huowu complete the transformation by fusing their Ultimate Fire Soul Power, leaving the ring fully red and shining with a color unlike an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

• Little Dragon propelled Quan Yi toward the surface, where the Scarlet Dragon Eye revealed Huowu’s Soul Ring changing from black to red as Wutong absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
• Quan Yi emerged and silently signaled Dugu Bo not to disturb Huowu, whose newfound strength left Dugu Bo instinctively afraid and reverent.
• Wutong’s recovered Origin Force strengthened Huowu’s Sixth Soul Ring, whose patterns grew more complex as it approached a Hundred Thousand Year transformation.
• The transforming Soul Ring exhausted the flower’s energy and began draining Huowu’s Soul Power, so Quan Yi transferred his own vermilion Soul Power into her.
• Quan Yi and Huowu fused their Ultimate Fire Soul Power, and Huowu poured it into the ring, erasing its remaining black spots and making it shine Magnificent Red.

Huo Wu transformed her Sixth Soul Ring into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and absorbed its energy, reaching Level 68 and opening all six hidden meridians. Afterward, she met Quan Yi’s intelligent martial soul, the Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw.

• With Quan Yi’s support, Huo Wu infused her Sixth Soul Ring with Wutong’s origin until it became a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Quan Yi took control of Huo Wu’s body and used the soul ring’s energy to open all six of her hidden meridians, bringing her to the heaven-reaching realm.
• Huo Wu absorbed the remaining energy, gained three soul power levels, and reached Level 68.
• Huo Wu hugged Quan Yi, then blushed and told him to put on clothes when she noticed his Dragon Scales.
• Little Dragon approached Huo Wu, and Quan Yi explained that it was his intelligent martial soul, the Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw.

Quan Yi’s martial soul developed intelligence and split into two flying dragons after he and Huo Wu used Dugu Bo’s herbs. After leaving Sunset Forest for Vast Sea City to seek a 100,000-year Fire-attribute Soul Beast for Quan Yi’s Seventh Soul Ring, they tested Xiao Hong’s flight and discovered her exceptional efficiency and intelligence.

• Quan Yi and Huo Wu thanked Dugu Bo for the herbs, and Quan Yi explained that the Metal-attribute energy had triggered his martial soul’s mutation.
• Quan Yi showed Dugu Bo how his Dark Gold Little Flying Dragon split into two dragons and transformed into metal gauntlets, prompting them to discuss the possibility of Tool Martial Soul Beast Transformation.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu held a farewell dinner for Dugu Bo, then rode the Scarlet Dragon out of Sunset Forest toward Vast Sea City so Quan Yi could pursue his Seventh Soul Ring.
• While they flew, Quan Yi and Huo Wu watched Xiao Hong keep pace for hours and learned that she used little Soul Power by absorbing Fire Element energy, amplifying flame power, and intelligently adjusting her flight.

Huo Wu explained the abilities of her evolved Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, including a powerful tracking attack with a long charge time. Quan Yi pointed out that its weaknesses were limited by Huo Wu’s speed and control, until she reminded him that he himself could evade it.

• Quan Yi asked Huo Wu to explain her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and she said Phoenix's Protection used far less Soul Power and could last much longer in battle.
• Huo Wu described Phoenix Cry Towards the Sun, a tracking burst attack that consumed all her Soul Power and took ten seconds to charge, or about five seconds with Ring Fusion.
• Quan Yi judged that the attack’s power could threaten even powerful opponents, while Huo Wu worried that its charge time and visible blazing sun gave enemies a chance to escape.
• Quan Yi argued that Huo Wu’s speed, Teleportation, and Shadow Domain would prevent most enemies from escaping the attack.
• Huo Wu pointed out that Quan Yi’s own speed and concealment might let him evade it, and Quan Yi admitted he had overlooked himself.

Huo Wu explained how she planned to overcome the flaw in her Soul Skill and revealed that Wutong’s awakened perspective let her perceive hidden energies and soul fluctuations. She shared that perspective with Quan Yi, who saw mysterious light clusters inside himself and Xiao Hong.

• Huo Wu warned Quan Yi not to underestimate her and said she had found a way to patch the flaw in her Soul Skill.
• Huo Wu explained that Shadow Space could conceal her blazing sun attack and that an opaque film could address its excessive brightness.
• Huo Wu told Quan Yi that Wutong’s awakening had enabled them to share a perspective that revealed Mental and Soul Fluctuations.
• Huo Wu used Mental Sharing to show Quan Yi Wutong’s view, where he saw dark gold and vermilion light inside himself and a dark gold light inside Xiao Hong.
• Huo Wu said she suspected the light clusters were souls distinct from Mental Power and Soul Power.

Huo Wu discovered that Wutong’s Holy Spirit Perspective could detect souls and help her develop a concealed, more dangerous version of Phoenix Cry Towards the Sun. Quan Yi and Huo Wu arrived at Vast Sea City, where Su Ling'er told the young Xiao Ni that her Big Brother had returned.

• Quan Yi found that using Mental Power made his soul shine more brightly under Huo Wu’s shared Holy Spirit Perspective.
• Huo Wu and Quan Yi discussed how Wutong’s perspective could help fuse the Undead Flame and Holy Spirit Flame, and Quan Yi suggested adding the Shadow Domain to Phoenix Cry Towards the Sun.

• Quan Yi and Huo Wu flew toward Vast Sea City and used Huo Wu’s Fourth Soul Ring to make the Scarlet Dragon disappear before landing at the Quan Family Villa.
• Su Ling'er sensed the Scarlet Dragon’s arrival, saw Xiao Ni practicing with a spear and shield, and told her that her Big Brother had returned.

Quan Yi returned home after ten months away and reunited with Su Ling'er and Quan Ni, whose skill with the Shield Spear Technique astonished him. He explained his Martial Soul mutation to Su Ling'er, while Xiao Jin carried a message to Dugu Bo before Quan Yi recalled it from Sunset Forest.

Quan Yi demonstrated his awakened martial soul’s remote connection and power before resting for a week with Huo Wu, then set out toward the Sea Area. They surveyed the thriving Golden Sand and Demon Dove Islands and arrived at the heavily guarded Ghost Island.

• Quan Yi explained that his mutated martial soul could maintain an awareness and share information with him over long distances, and he reassured Su Ling'er that his own strength would prevent it from affecting him.
• Quan Yi told Su Ling'er he would leave after a week of rest, then spent the week at home with Huo Wu and his family.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu flew to Golden Sand Island and saw that it had grown into a bustling town with tens of thousands of residents, schools, factories, and other facilities.
• They surveyed Demon Dove Island, where fishing fleets operated under the protection of soul masters, including members of affiliated families.
• After flying for half an hour, Quan Yi and Huo Wu reached Ghost Island, a strategically important military stronghold protected by numerous sentries.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu returned from seclusion to find Yun Qiong managing the Three Islands with Purple Pearl. Yun Qiong took Purple Pearl as her disciple, making her Quan Yi’s aunt, while Quan Yi prepared to face a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

• Purple Pearl reported that she had secured the waters around the Three Islands and brought the surrounding pirate lairs under control.

• Quan Yi acknowledged Purple Pearl as his aunt and exchanged greetings with her.

Quan Yi revealed that he planned to recreate Wutong’s miracle and make a living soul ring, arguing that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could be persuaded by a stake in the future. He then traveled with Huo Wu and Yun Qiong to Blue Silver Island, where he reunited with Quan Li.

• Quan Yi told Huo Wu and Yun Qiong that he intended to create a living soul ring like Wutong’s, and Huo Wu displayed her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as an example of its potential to evolve.
• Quan Yi explained that an intelligent Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could be negotiated with and said he would offer it a stake in his future.
• Quan Yi, Huo Wu, and Yun Qiong left Ghost Island and flew to Blue Silver Island, where they saw its expanding farmland, busy port, and growing town.
• Quan Li heard the notification bell in his office, opened the door, and joyfully hugged Quan Yi while Yun Qiong watched sternly.

Quan Yi asked Quan Li to support his plan and requested his strength after negotiations, so Quan Li challenged him to a duel before they set out. Quan Yi's dark-gold Gang and overwhelming physical strength repelled Quan Li's opening attack, revealing how far his power had advanced.

• Quan Yi explained his plan to Quan Li, who agreed to support him and asked to witness his true strength first.
• Quan Yi and Quan Li went to the dead forest at Blue Silver Island's western end while Su Ling'er and Huo Wu watched from nearby.
• Quan Li launched a sudden, highly skilled punch with his Mutated Black Iron Gauntlets, forcing Quan Yi to meet it head-on.
• Quan Yi blocked Quan Li's spikes with Gang formed from Ultimate Gold Soul Power and struck back with his physical strength.
• Quan Li retreated under the force of Quan Yi's punch, and his Black Iron Gauntlets trembled under the suppression of Quan Yi's Ultimate Gold Attribute.

Quan Li used his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills and a Borrowing Strength Combo Technique to attack Quan Yi, but Quan Yi remained largely unharmed. Quan Li then trapped Quan Yi with forced control, only for Quan Yi to move and block his next punch.

• Quan Li summoned his nine Soul Rings and used Black Iron Evil Spirit Gnawing Bite to charge Quan Yi with enhanced power.
• Quan Yi met Quan Li’s strike with Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw, and Quan Li used the recoil to land a second blow through the Combo Technique.

• Quan Yi explained how his two Little Dragons affected his attacks and defenses, and Quan Li warmed to them after they showed him affection.
