The chapter revealed that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue, who was secretly watching Quan Yi and had urged Salas to take Blazing Fire and Godwind seriously.

• Qian Renxue watched Quan Yi instead of the two Soul Emperors in the arena.

Qian Renxue recognized Quan Yi at the competition and watched as he let Huo Wu lead the Blazing Fire Team against Feng Xiaotian. Huo Wu overwhelmed Feng Xiaotian and his teammates, then bound Feng Xiaotian and continued whipping him.

After Huo Wu defeated Feng Xiaotian, Quan Yi explained that he had concealed his strength because he recognized Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe and wanted to protect their secret.

• Quan Yi and Huo Wu watched the next tournament matches, and Quan Yi focused on Shrek Academy's lineup, including Tang San.

• Quan Yi used his Scarlet Dragon Eye to inspect Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and sensed that his Ultimate Wood Seal reacted strongly to it.

Quan Yi discovered that his Ultimate Thunder could cleanse and strengthen his Soul Bones, potentially allowing them to merge with his body. After leaving the tournament venue, he accompanied Huo Wu to the Ice and Fire Spring, where she began exposing her Phoenix Bone Wings to the scalding Blazing Yang Spring.

• Quan Yi used Ultimate Thunder to wear away the foreign essence in his Golden Furnace Flame Left Arm Bone, strengthening it and deepening its connection to him.

As Huowu continued training under Quan Yi’s watch, Quan Yi left her guarded by his transformed armor and entered Dugu Bo’s Medicine Garden, where he sensed a new connection with the plants.

• The Blazing Yang Spring scorched Huowu’s Phoenix Bone Wings and caused severe burns across her body.

• Quan Yi frightened the Infernal Delicate Apricot away from greedily absorbing his energy, then left a wisp of Ultimate Wood inside it to improve its source and aptitude.
• Quan Yi went to the Cold Spring, where the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass welcomed him and let him stroke its leaves.

Quan Yi studied the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and created an Ice-attribute Self-Created Soul Skill from Ultimate Ice. By combining Ultimate Wood and Ultimate Ice, he made the skill act like a living plant that could root itself, absorb Origin Power, and produce Cold Poison.

• Quan Yi controlled the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to release its Cold Poison, clearing the mist and revealing the moon.
• Quan Yi shaped an energy replica from Ultimate Ice and created the Self-Created Soul Skill, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
• Quan Yi found that Ultimate Wood withered when it absorbed the grass’s Cold Poison, so he changed his method and used Ice-attribute energy to circulate through a Wood-attribute structure.
• Quan Yi fused Ultimate Wood and Ultimate Ice, transforming the skill into an Ice-Wood plant with both vitality and Cold Poison.
• Quan Yi released control of the energy grass, and its roots burrowed into the ground as it independently absorbed Origin Power and accumulated energy.

Quan Yi tended the Medicine Garden’s surviving herbs, then completed the fusion and evolution of his left arm bone. The evolved bone could grow with him, and its recovery skill gained a much shorter cooldown when nourished by Ultimate Wood.

• Quan Yi used Ultimate Wood to strengthen the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, nourish the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower seed, and aid the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum stalk.
• Quan Yi meditated overnight while using Thunder to temper his left arm bone.
• At daybreak, Quan Yi’s left arm bone fused completely with his body and became incapable of dropping separately from him.

• The evolved bone strengthened Golden Jade Luminescence and improved Spirit Turtle Shedding Shell by reducing its soul power cost and cooldown.
• Quan Yi discovered that Ultimate Wood accelerated the recovery energy stored in the bone tenfold, shortening Spirit Turtle Shedding Shell’s cooldown to 1.6 hours.

Quan Yi discovered that the restrictions on his Spirit Turtle Shedding Shell had been lifted, allowing him to use it far more often. He then witnessed Wutong awaken with her memories and identity intact, while Huowu’s Phoenix Bone Wings adapted to Yang Quan’s heat.

• Quan Yi realized his Spirit Turtle Shedding Shell now had a recovery time of about an hour and a half and considered how the change would accelerate his training and improve his endurance.
• Wutong emerged from Huowu amid a blood mist and golden-red flames, revealing an ancient phoenix aura and speaking to Quan Yi.
• Huowu explained that her Phoenix Bone Wings, Sixth Soul Ring, and Wutong were evolving together through the growth of Phoenix Origin.
• Wutong assured Quan Yi that she was still herself and had chosen to remain within Huowu, so he lowered his guard.
• Quan Yi noticed that Huowu’s Phoenix Bone Wings had adapted to Yang Quan’s heat and praised her progress.

Huo Wu and Quan Yi discussed how complete soul bone fusion could accelerate the evolution of her Phoenix Bone Wings and torso bone. Quan Yi proposed using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to temper her bones safely, and they prepared to return.

• Huo Wu praised Quan Yi, and after teasing each other, Quan Yi suggested they head back.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu returned to Heaven Dou City, where Quan Yi observed Tang San absorb purple qi at sunrise and discovered a new energy-refining method. The pair then headed to the Great Soul Arena as crowds gathered for the Soul Master Competition.

• Quan Yi monitored Heaven Dou City through Xiao Jin and recalled how Xue Qinghe had threatened him despite their past meeting.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu flew toward Heaven Dou City and stopped to watch the sunrise.
• Quan Yi used the Scarlet Dragon Eye to observe purple qi in the sunlight and saw Tang San draw it into his eyes.
• Quan Yi concluded that the purple qi was a new kind of energy with a method of refinement, and promised to show Huo Wu the next day.
• Huo Wu and Quan Yi joined their team at the crowded Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, where Huo Wushuang complained that Huo Wu had taken over the previous day's matches.

Canghui Academy forfeited its match against Blazing Fire Team, while the day’s other matches ended quickly and Shrek Academy earned its third straight win. After returning to Sunset Forest, Quan Yi failed to find Purple Qi at dusk, and Huo Wu began tempering the second section of her Bone Wings in the Yang Quan.

• Canghui Academy forfeited against Blazing Fire Team, drawing boos from the audience and confirming Huo Wushuang’s prediction that they would not get to fight.
• Quan Yi watched the day’s matches as Thunder Academy and Skywater Academy won easily, while Godwind Academy’s opponent surrendered after Feng Xiaotian showed no sign of injury.

• Quan Yi and Huo Wu returned to Sunset Forest, where Quan Yi searched for Purple Qi at dusk without success.
• Huo Wu inserted the second section of her Bone Wings into the Yang Quan and endured intense pain as it began tempering.

Quan Yi used Ultimate Thunder to cleanse his remaining Spirit Bones while Huo Wu tempered her Torso Bone with Yang Quan. The Dragon Flame Beast Right Arm Bone and Flame Spirit Shadow Leopard Right Leg Bone fused and began growing rapidly, leaving Quan Yi ravenously hungry.

• Huo Wu endured Yang Quan's energy as Phoenix's Protection accelerated her recovery and helped her temper her Torso Bone.
• Quan Yi separated his remaining Spirit Bones and used Thunder Patterns and Ultimate Wood to locate and cleanse foreign matter inside them.
• After more than ten hours, Quan Yi's Dragon Flame Beast Right Arm Bone and Flame Spirit Shadow Leopard Right Leg Bone fused and began consuming Soul Power and Vitality as they grew.
• Quan Yi's Vitality began running low, so he used his Scarlet Dragon Descent to cook a giant piece of Whale Meat and compressed it into a single bite.

Quan Yi fed his hungry Soul Bones with Dragon Force from Yang Quan, causing his Dragon Flame Beast Right Arm Bone to evolve into a Hundred Thousand Year Flame Dragon Soul Bone. The evolution strengthened him enough to dive deeper into the spring than ever before, bringing him close to its bottom.

• Quan Yi swallowed roughly a ton of Whale Meat to supply Vitality to his Soul Bones, but decided meat alone would not sustain their evolution.
• Quan Yi entered Yang Quan and redirected its Dragon Force into his three Soul Bones, whose reactions intensified as his Scarlet Dragon Horns drew energy from the spring.
• The Dragon Force awakened the right arm bone's hidden Dragon Race Bloodline, while the Flame Shadow Leopard Right Leg Bone and Golden Furnace Flame Left Arm Bone began fusing with the energy.
• Quan Yi's right arm bone evolved into a Hundred Thousand Year Flame Dragon Soul Bone, releasing a True Dragon Aura and greatly increasing his physical attributes.
• Quan Yi put on his helmet and dove to fifteen thousand meters, breaking the historical depth record and nearing the bottom of Yang Quan.
