Chapter Summaries

Ling Feng awakened in Spirit Hall after taking over the body of an orphan adopted by Bibi Dong, and his Judgment Angel martial soul and God-Tier Choice System appeared. He chose a secretive plan to seize Tang San’s opportunities and received a map to the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass garden before Bibi Dong summoned him.

• Ling Feng woke in the Pope’s Palace with memories of his life as the orphan of an Adjudicator Elder adopted by Bibi Dong.
• Ling Feng awakened the powerful Judgment Angel martial soul, manifesting three pairs of golden wings.
• The God-Tier Choice System offered Ling Feng three responses to Bibi Dong’s upcoming summons.
• Ling Feng chose to secretly intercept Tang San’s opportunities and received a map to the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass garden and the Gaze of Destiny talent.
• A maid announced that Bibi Dong had summoned Ling Feng, and he dismissed his wings and prepared to meet her.

Ling Feng met Pope Bibi Dong, concealed the true nature of his Judgment Angel Martial Soul, and secured an escort to hunt his first Soul Ring. After leaving the Pope’s Palace, he encountered Qian Renxue, who had blocked his path.

• Ling Feng entered the Pope’s hall and knelt before Bibi Dong, who named him her adopted son and offered Spirit Hall’s protection and resources.
• Ling Feng asked to obtain his first Soul Ring and disguised his Judgment Angel Martial Soul as a light-and-lightning beast Martial Soul.
• Bibi Dong recognized the concealed angelic power, reacted with shock, and unintentionally exposed Ling Feng to fragmented visions from her past.
• Bibi Dong ordered Elder Ghost Leopard to escort Ling Feng to the Star Dou Great Forest in three days to hunt his first Soul Ring.
• Ling Feng left the Pope’s Palace and encountered Qian Renxue, who stopped him and asked whether he was Ling Feng.

Ling Feng faced Qian Renxue’s warning and used news of the Pope’s plans for him to provoke her curiosity rather than challenge her directly. After she left, his Fate’s Watcher showed visions of dangers and opportunities ahead, and he set out to prepare for his trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Qian Renxue confronted Ling Feng, belittled his status, and warned him to remember his place and avoid improper thoughts.
• Ling Feng chose to invoke the Pope’s regard for him, revealing that Elder Ghost Leopard would escort him to the Star Dou Great Forest in three days.
• Qian Renxue reconsidered Ling Feng and departed, questioning whether his Martial Soul would live up to the Pope’s expectations.
• Ling Feng used Fate’s Watcher and glimpsed the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass guarded by Dugu Bo, a savage beast, and a black-scaled claw threatening a figure.
• Ling Feng headed for the core disciples’ area, intending to visit Spirit Hall’s library and supply depot before his journey.

Ling Feng traveled with Ghost Leopard Douluo into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his first soul ring, hiding the true nature of his Martial Soul. When a berserk Rock Lizard attacked, Ling Feng's system presented him with three choices.

• Ling Feng prepared for the journey by studying soul beasts and cultivation and gathering basic supplies.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo escorted Ling Feng from Spirit City into the Star Dou Great Forest on his giant leopard.
• Ghost Leopard questioned Ling Feng about his Martial Soul and first soul ring, and Ling Feng claimed he had a light-and-lightning beast Martial Soul and wanted a powerful offensive ring.
• A berserk Rock Lizard of roughly 560 years charged toward them, and Ling Feng's Fate's Watcher revealed the beast and nearby mercenary corpses.
• Ling Feng's system offered him three choices: ask Ghost Leopard for help, distract the lizard himself, or use intimidation and observe Ghost Leopard's reaction.

Ling Feng used his Judgment Angel Martial Soul and Ghost Leopard Douluo’s intimidating presence to drive off a Berserk Rock Lizard, earning a measure of the elder’s respect. After traveling through Star Dou Forest, Ling Feng’s Fate Fragment vision revealed a Nether Wolf Pack that he chose as the target for his first soul ring.

• Ling Feng released his golden wings and destructive aura to frighten the Berserk Rock Lizard, while Ghost Leopard Douluo’s panther chased it away with a roar.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo recognized Ling Feng’s courage and unusual Martial Soul, then warned him to rely on himself while hunting for a soul ring.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo carried Ling Feng through Star Dou Forest, avoiding powerful soul beasts and demonstrating the strength of a Titled Douluo.
• Ling Feng camped on a rocky slope and received a Fate Fragment vision of a dark-attribute Nether Wolf Pack near a swamp.
• Ling Feng chose the six-hundred-year-plus Nether Wolf Pack as the target for his first soul ring.

Ling Feng charged into a Nether Wolf Pack raid and killed its 650-year-old alpha with his Eye of Judgment and a decisive strike, despite suffering severe wounds. Ghost Leopard Douluo praised his courage and skill, and Ling Feng asked to absorb the alpha’s Soul Ring.

• Ling Feng chose to attack the Nether Wolf Pack instead of hiding or waiting, and Ghost Leopard Douluo watched to judge his response.
• The Nether Wolves surrounded Ling Feng and fired Nether Rays, which he evaded and blocked with his Judgment Angel’s golden wings.
• When the alpha wolf and two others lunged at him, Ling Feng used the Eye of Judgment to stun the alpha and struck its forehead with a lightning-charged fist, killing it.
• Two wolves wounded Ling Feng, but the alpha’s death frightened the remaining seven into fleeing.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo praised Ling Feng’s decisive attack, remembered his name, and heard Ling Feng ask permission to absorb the alpha’s Soul Ring.

Ling Feng absorbed a 650-year Nether Alpha Wolf spirit ring by unleashing the Will of Judgment, gaining the Spear of Judgment as his first soul skill. With Ghost Leopard Douluo accompanying him, he continued toward the core of the Star Dou Great Forest to search for rare treasures.

• Ling Feng rejected Ghost Leopard Douluo’s warning and chose to absorb the 650-year spirit ring using the riskier system choice.
• The spirit ring’s dark energy nearly overwhelmed Ling Feng, but his Judgment Angel Martial Soul and Will of Judgment subdued it, completing the absorption beyond the limit.
• Ling Feng formed his first soul skill, the Spear of Judgment, with lightning penetration, evil-dispelling, and soul-intimidation effects.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo praised Ling Feng’s achievement, and Ling Feng identified his Martial Soul as the Wings of Judgment while keeping its angel origin secret.
• Ling Feng asked to remain in the forest to seek treasures, and Ghost Leopard Douluo agreed to accompany him toward the core region.

Ling Feng and Ghost Leopard Douluo reached the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass valley, where Poison Douluo Dugu Bo confronted them. Ling Feng claimed he was dying from a strange poison and begged Dugu Bo to save him.

• Ghost Leopard Douluo guided Ling Feng through the poisonous depths of Star Dou Forest while Ling Feng recovered and followed Gaze of Destiny toward the valley.
• Ling Feng located the valley of extreme cold and heat, and Ghost Leopard Douluo warned that it could be guarded.
• Dugu Bo appeared at the entrance and demanded to know why Ghost Leopard Douluo and Ling Feng had trespassed in his territory.
• Ling Feng introduced himself and claimed a strange poison had left him little time to live, asking Dugu Bo for help.
• Dugu Bo's interest sharpened when he heard Ling Feng was poisoned.

Ling Feng fabricated a deadly poison and demonstrated a false trace of Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison to persuade Dugu Bo that they shared a similar affliction. Dugu Bo allowed him to stay in a designated area outside the valley, and Ling Feng prepared to use Dugu Yan’s poison as his next lure.

• Ling Feng claimed he suffered from Soul Devouring Bone Corroding Grass and showed Dugu Bo a simulated wisp of Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison.
• Dugu Bo’s killing intent faded when he believed Ling Feng was poisoned, and he agreed to let him remain in a restricted area outside the valley.
• Ling Feng described his fabricated symptoms to Dugu Bo, who recognized similarities to his own condition and asked how he planned to suppress the poison.
• Ling Feng proposed drawing heat from the Yang Spring to counter the cold poison, prompting Dugu Bo to consider using the spring’s energies against his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison.
• Ling Feng planned to make Dugu Yan’s poison his next lure.

Ling Feng persuaded Dugu Bo that the Yang Spring might suppress his poison and hinted that Dugu Yan’s poison could be treated with gentler use of heavenly treasures. Dugu Bo allowed Ling Feng to cultivate near the spring, leaving Ling Feng poised to seek the immortal herbs in the valley.

• Ling Feng suggested that the Yang Spring’s heat might counteract Dugu Bo’s cold poison, prompting Dugu Bo to consider the idea.
• Ling Feng claimed he had sensed a similar poison in Dugu Bo and then revealed that he had detected a younger, blood-related person suffering from an even more active poison.
• Dugu Bo realized Ling Feng was describing Dugu Yan and asked whether he could help her.
• Ling Feng proposed using treasures with pure life force or extreme yang energy to suppress Dugu Yan’s poison, and Dugu Bo recognized that the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass might provide them.
• Dugu Bo permitted Ling Feng to cultivate in a designated spot near the Yang Spring, and Ling Feng secretly used Gaze of Destiny to search the valley for immortal herbs.

Ling Feng seized the opportunity created by Dugu Bo’s distraction to harvest Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then began tempering his body with their deadly ice-fire energies. As Ghost Leopard Douluo confronted Dugu Bo, Ling Feng’s Will of Judgment guided the energies through his shattered body and sparked a faint power of rebirth.

• Ling Feng used Gaze of Destiny to locate the immortal herbs and learned that the system’s tempering plan carried an almost certain risk of death.
• After Dugu Bo’s concern for Dugu Yan lowered his vigilance, Ling Feng asked Ghost Leopard Douluo to shield him and rushed to the herbs.
• Ling Feng used the system’s one second of Absolute Energy Stabilization to tear out Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
• The herbs’ ice-fire energies flooded Ling Feng’s body, while Dugu Bo attacked and Ghost Leopard Douluo blocked the poison cloud.
• At the brink of death, Ling Feng’s Will of Judgment guided the ice-fire energies to temper his body, and a faint power of rebirth emerged.

Ling Feng survived the ice-and-fire backlash, transformed his body, and rose to Soul Power Level 15 after consuming Dugu Bo’s treasured immortal herbs. To deflect Dugu Bo’s anger, Ling Feng offered him a trace of refined ice-and-fire essence, and Dugu Bo reacted with shock and joy when it entered his body.

• Dugu Bo attacked Ghost Leopard Douluo over the disappearance of his Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass while Ghost Leopard protected Ling Feng.
• Ling Feng’s energy erupted as he completed his Ice and Fire Golden Body and Origin Transformation, stabilizing his life aura and raising his Soul Power from Level 11 Peak to Level 15.
• Ling Feng claimed he knew nothing about the immortal herbs and said his effort to suppress the cold poison had accidentally drawn out their energies.
• Dugu Bo demanded an explanation and threatened Ling Feng, but Ghost Leopard stepped between them and defended him.
• Ling Feng offered Dugu Bo a trace of medicinal essence that might ease his poison, and Dugu Bo accepted the energy into his body.
• Dugu Bo shook violently as the essence took effect, his face showing extreme shock and joy.

Ling Feng won Dugu Bo’s trust by using Medicinal Essence to suppress his poison, then spent half a month cultivating at the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass and preparing a pill for Dugu Yan. After returning toward Spirit Hall at peak Soul Power level nineteen, he encountered Qian Renxue, whose suspicion of his sudden growth deepened.

• Dugu Bo felt Ling Feng’s Medicinal Essence suppress and partially dissolve his poison, then allowed him to recuperate and take limited amounts of herbs from the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo left after Ling Feng became Dugu Bo’s honored guest, and Dugu Bo led Ling Feng to a cave to recover.
• Ling Feng consumed and gathered immortal herbs, grew stronger, and crafted a pill that could suppress Dugu Yan’s poison without curing it.
• Half a month later, Ling Feng gave the pill to Dugu Bo, who thanked him and promised to repay the favor; Ling Feng then set out for Spirit Hall.
• Dugu Bo gave Ling Feng a snake-shaped token and escorted him out of the valley, while Ling Feng returned toward Spirit City.
• Qian Renxue watched Ling Feng arrive at Spirit City’s western gate and grew wary of his powerful new aura and rapid increase in Soul Power.

Ling Feng returned to Spirit City at peak level 19, prompting Qian Renxue to challenge him to a public duel. After three days of training and preparation, he faced her in Spirit Hall's central arena as a crowd gathered, and the battle was about to begin.

• Qian Renxue scrutinized Ling Feng's rapid growth and challenged him to fight her in the central arena three days later.
• Ling Feng exchanged merit points for supplies and spent the next three days refining his Soul Power, practicing the Spear of Judgment, and tempering a weapon blank.
• Ling Feng entered Spirit Hall's central martial arena at noon, where Spirit Hall personnel and elders had gathered to watch.
• Qian Renxue awaited Ling Feng in golden battle armor with the Angel Holy Sword and unleashed her sacred pressure as the duel began.

Ling Feng fought Qian Renxue despite her overwhelming Soul Power and used his Spear of Judgment and Eye of Destiny to survive her strongest attack before briefly grabbing her ankle. The spar ended with Ling Feng badly injured and neither fighter declared the victor, while the spectators watched Qian Renxue in stunned silence.

• Ling Feng manifested the Judgment Angel Martial Soul and resisted Qian Renxue's sacred pressure as Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Dugu Yan watched.
• Qian Renxue attacked with Sacred Light, but Ling Feng used Thunder Refraction to divert the beam and escape with only a burned sleeve.
• Ling Feng met Qian Renxue's Angel Assault with Judgment, and their collision sent both fighters flying, leaving Ling Feng bloodied and weakened.
• Qian Renxue used Angel Wings to launch a powerful finishing strike, but Ling Feng used the Eye of Destiny to spot flaws and pierce a weakness in her sword of light.
• Ling Feng briefly grabbed Qian Renxue's ankle before her Soul Power blasted him away, and the referee elder ended the spar without declaring a victor.

After Ling Feng’s battle with Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong praised his performance and ordered him to recover for further arrangements. In the Sacred Healing Hall, Ling Feng completed his mission, reached the level 20 bottleneck, and resolved to obtain a thousand-year second Spirit Ring as Hu Liena came to visit.

• Bibi Dong arrived at the training ground, praised Ling Feng for wounding Qian Renxue, and advised Qian Renxue to learn from the battle.

• The mission reward unlocked authorization for Ling Feng’s second God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, strengthened his Will of Judgment, and raised his Soul Power to the level 20 bottleneck.
• Ling Feng resolved to obtain a thousand-year second Spirit Ring, and Hu Liena knocked on his ward door to ask how he was recovering.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue invited Ling Feng to join the Golden Generation’s team, but he delayed his answer while considering his own ambitions. After the Gaze of Destiny warned him that assassins were approaching, Ling Feng prepared an ambush and attacked them when they broke into the infirmary.

• Hu Liena and Xie Yue visited Ling Feng, praised his arena performance, and invited him to join the Spirit Hall Team for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
• Ling Feng postponed his decision, wanting to recover and learn what other arrangements Bibi Dong had for him.
• The Gaze of Destiny warned Ling Feng that at least four unknown assassins, including two Soul Elders, were heading toward Sacred Healing Hall.
• Ling Feng hid a Tungsten Steel spearhead in his sleeve and pretended to sleep as four assassins entered the infirmary.
• Ling Feng shouted “Judgment!” and struck at the leading Soul Elder with the Spear of Judgment while hurling the spearhead toward another assassin.

Ling Feng fought off a group of assassins at the Sacred Healing Hall until Ghost Leopard Douluo returned and saved him. The last attacker died before he could reveal who sent them, and Ghost Leopard Douluo took Ling Feng to his cultivation chamber while ordering an investigation.

• Ling Feng killed one Soul Elder assassin with the Spear of Judgment and wounded another, but the remaining attackers pressed their assault as his strength ran out.
• A wounded Soul Elder trapped Ling Feng in a poisonous web, but Ghost Leopard Douluo burst into the room and tore it apart.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo killed the two Soul Grandmaster assassins with his pressure and restrained the wounded Soul Elder for questioning.

After recovering from an assassination attempt, Ling Feng broke through to level twenty-two by obtaining a 2,800-year second spirit ring with the Ice Flame Judgment skill.

• Bibi Dong ordered Ling Feng to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, approach and observe Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and watch Tang San and Shrek.
