Chapter Summaries

You Chen gave Ignis the Five Qi Fire Evil, an introductory version of Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, and the Aura Concealment Art after she wished to become stronger. He entrusted her with deciding which Soul Arena Beasts could learn the Aura Concealment Art, and Ignis accepted the responsibility before asking You Chen for compensation.

• You Chen revealed that Ignis had pretended to be delighted, then gave her the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength cultivation manual.
• Ignis tried to return the manual, but after struggling with the choice, she told You Chen she did not want to give up her wish.
• You Chen gave Ignis the Aura Concealment Art and tasked her with choosing which Soul Arena Beasts could learn it and teaching them.
• Ignis said the responsibility was a mission rather than a test, then told You Chen she wanted compensation.

After leaving the Soul Arena Beasts in Ignis and Ge Ruisi’s care, You Chen began his return to the Heaven Dou Empire. Meanwhile, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were secretly sent by Bibi Dong to hunt him down, and they had finally found clues to his whereabouts.

• You Chen warned Ignis about provoking someone stronger than herself, then punished her after she asked him to take the initiative.
• You Chen spent about a week guiding Ignis in the three techniques before leaving the Soul Arena Beasts’ headquarters.
• You Chen assigned Ignis to manage the martial side of the organization and told Ge Ruisi to support and evaluate her, with Lin Zhi handling research.
• More than a month after You Chen left Notting City, Yue Guan and Gui Mei raced through the Balak Kingdom toward Suotuo City.
• Yue Guan wondered why Bibi Dong kept targeting You Chen and suspected that sending him and Gui Mei might be a test.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei had been secretly dispatched by Bibi Dong to hunt You Chen, and they had recently uncovered clues to his location.

Bibi Dong sent Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to intercept You Chen and capture him, but they discovered they had only attacked one of his Starlight Avatars. The real You Chen and You Xing reached Notting City safely, while the two Douluo abandoned the pursuit.

• Bibi Dong's elite squad intercepted You Chen before he crossed into the Balak Kingdom, and Chrysanthemum Douluo tried to persuade him to surrender.
• Ghost Douluo attacked You Chen, but tore off only a Starlight Avatar's arm, revealing the figure was a clone.
• You Chen's avatar explained that he was waiting for his true body to return to Notting City, then Chrysanthemum Douluo destroyed it.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo decided to report back rather than enter Notting City and risk provoking You Chen's powerful allies.
• You Chen and You Xing arrived at Notting City's gates as other Starlight Avatars, while You Chen reflected on the strain of controlling four consciousnesses at once.

You Chen encountered a dispirited Tang San, who chose not to ask him for cultivation help out of loyalty to Yu Xiaogang. After setting plans in motion around Tang San and Xiao Wu, You Chen went to Spirit City to begin a mission hunt.

• You Chen and You Xing met Tang San in Notting City, where Tang San was upset after learning Xiao Wu had surpassed him and Yu Xiaogang could not help him cultivate faster.
• Tang San considered asking You Chen for advice but decided against it because he feared betraying Yu Xiaogang, then left after arranging to spar with You Xing another time.
• You Chen planned to use You Xing to tell Xiao Wu about Tang San’s troubles so she would treat him more gently.
• You Chen sent one clone toward the dormitory, left two clones in Notting City, and traveled to Spirit City for his mission.
• You Chen entered Spirit City under concealed aura, exchanged intelligence with the Beast Envoy, and headed to hunt a professor who had competed with him for research resources.

A masked killer murdered two researchers who had opposed You Chen, while Spirit City’s Enforcement Division struggled to identify the perpetrator. The investigation focused on the killer’s physical description and crime-scene traces.

• He Sai secretly read You Chen’s academic paper while his laboratory’s researchers slacked off, and a masked man killed him by crushing his head.
• You Chen passed Professor Placido’s lecture criticizing him, walked onto the podium, and twisted Placido’s head off.
• After the second murder, Red Robe Bishop Salamanda demanded that the Enforcement Division find the killer within three days.
• Enforcement officers discussed the victims’ ties to research and You Chen before turning their attention to the traces left at the crime scenes.

You Chen withdrew from Spirit City after killing two professors, while the Enforcement Division struggled to investigate and Salamanda hid to avoid responsibility. You Chen left before the investigation could expose him, constrained by the mental strain of maintaining his remote clone.

• An enforcement officer told the Enforcement Division that the killer had either concealed all traces of Soul Power or killed the two Soul Kings with physical strength, and the officers realized the killer might be a Soul Sage or stronger.
• Lyon suggested that Salamanda was making the Enforcement Division take the blame, and the other officers warned him against speaking recklessly about a Red Robe Bishop.
• Salamanda hid himself after ordering the Enforcement Division to find the killer, fearing the killer’s strength and the consequences of reporting the matter to Bibi Dong.
• You Chen withdrew from Spirit City, judging that an investigation led by a Titled Douluo could force him to flee and expose his methods.
• You Chen chose not to prolong the hunt because maintaining the remote clone continuously consumed mental energy and he would not abandon his precautions for more missions.

You Chen abandoned his latest Spirit City mission after sensing that Spirit Hall had strengthened its defenses, then escaped a Soul Sage’s pursuit and decided to suspend his assassinations while he cultivated. Months later, Tang San surprised Xiao Wu with a handmade birthday gift, leaving her embarrassed and uncomfortable.

• You Chen entered Spirit City but withdrew almost immediately, judging that powerful enforcers had returned and the risk was too high.
• A plainclothes officer spotted You Chen, and a Soul Sage attacked him with his Spirit Snake Martial Soul Avatar.
• You Chen used the Soul Sage’s strike to fly beyond the city, then stopped his pursuer with the Soul Shocking Tactic and escaped into the Star Dou Great Forest.
• After reaching the Balak Kingdom, You Chen decided to pause his missions and use the rewards from eight missions to cultivate toward his Sixth Soul Ring.
• Over the following months, Spirit City returned to normal while Spirit Hall kept You Chen’s arrest warrant active.
• Tang San took Xiao Wu to the woods, reminded her that it was her birthday, and gave her a handmade gift that left her embarrassed.

Tang San mistook Sister Xiao Wu’s pity and sparring for familial affection, then suffered her rejection when he gave her a gift with romantic intentions. The chapter ended with You Chen reading Yan’s letter about his dangerous training and planning to keep Hu Liena from noticing the influence on her.

• You Xing’s influence softened Sister Xiao Wu’s attitude toward Tang San, and he began seeking her out to spar as he recovered confidence.
• Tang San grew attached to Sister Xiao Wu’s gentle treatment and believed she could become like family, while Sister Xiao Wu regarded him only as a sparring partner and underling.
• Tang San presented Sister Xiao Wu with a handmade gift, but she kicked him and the box away, told him not to ask her to spar again, and left.
• Tang San interpreted the rejection as a test of his devotion, while the broken crystal ball revealed the rabbit mechanism he had made for her.
• You Chen read Yan’s letter describing his breakthrough in Death Canyon, his Three Hearts Realm cultivation, and his new ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring.
• You Chen realized Hu Liena had begun trying to please Yan because of her fear of him and decided to tell Yan to stop mentioning him around her.

You Chen hunted a seventy-thousand-year Archaeopteryx for his Sixth Soul Ring, injuring it but letting it escape after his attacks failed to finish the fight. He regrouped the Soul Arena Beasts and put Ignis in command of the hunt, but Mount Fang Marquis’s forces blocked their path and seized some trackers; You Chen left Ignis to decide how to respond.

• After receiving Yan’s letter and reaching level 60, You Chen traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a seventy-thousand-year Archaeopteryx.
• On his fourth operation, You Chen and his avatars ambushed the Archaeopteryx, injured its wing with Wind Cloud Movement, and failed to stop it from escaping.
• You Chen ordered trackers to follow the wounded Archaeopteryx, returned to Notting City to recover, and decided the Soul Arena Beasts could help weaken it with Black Fire Crossbows.
• You Chen gathered the Soul Arena Beasts, assigned Ignis to lead the operation, and let Ge Ruisi explain the plan to strike the Archaeopteryx while protecting the team.
• Mount Fang Marquis confronted You Chen’s group with military-uniformed soul masters and presented captured, injured trackers as hostages.
• You Chen identified Mount Fang Marquis’s likely employer as the next Antonio Duke and told Ignis to choose how their group should respond.

You Chen and Soul Arena Beasts fought Mount Fang Marquis’s force over the Archaeopteryx, and You Chen killed Mount Fang Marquis and Antonio Duke’s legitimate son before the wounded beast escaped. He tracked it down, absorbed its seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring, and gained the Air Blade Sixth Soul Skill.

• Ignis ordered Soul Arena Beasts to kill Mount Fang Marquis’s soldiers and hostages, and their Black Fire Crossbows gravely wounded Mount Fang Marquis.
• You Chen pursued Mount Fang Marquis, used Soul Shocking Tactic to disable him, and killed him with Wind Flow Claw.
• You Chen ordered Ignis and Soul Arena Beasts to withdraw and prepare to relocate, then went alone to the Archaeopteryx’s battlefield.
• You Chen killed Antonio Duke’s legitimate son with Wind Cloud Movement, and the Archaeopteryx’s Air Blades killed the other Soul Masters before it escaped.
• You Chen defeated the wounded control-type Soul Sage and tracked the Archaeopteryx using a mental mark he had placed on it.
• Four hours later, You Chen hunted the Archaeopteryx, absorbed its seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring, and obtained the Air Blade Sixth Soul Skill.

You Chen secured a seventy-thousand-year Archaeopteryx Right Arm Bone and continued strengthening himself before resuming his attacks in Spirit City. After his power let him escape a Soul Douluo encirclement, Spirit Hall realized that even its strongest forces struggled to hold him back.

• You Chen stored the Archaeopteryx Right Arm Bone without absorbing it, intending to wait until You Xing's alt account had absorbed its first three soul rings.
• SkyNet crushed a Star Luo Empire force sent to destroy it, and the empire blamed the slain nobles, compensated the Heaven-Grade Assassin, and invited him to serve as a guest official.
• After half a year of cultivating the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, You Chen judged that his physical strength and ability to escape had risen sharply.
• You Chen spent two months killing targets who had fled Spirit City, then resumed his murders in the city after a year away, using methods tailored to his tasks.
• Multiple Soul Douluo finally held You Chen back briefly, but he escaped before the Titled Douluo arrived, leaving Spirit Hall's leaders grimly aware that only a Titled Douluo might delay him.

After emerging from her Rakshasa God trial and resuming her duties as Pope, Bibi Dong learned that the Masked Killer had eluded Spirit Hall for half a year and recognized that the victims and the Worship Hall’s inaction were tied to Spirit Hall’s factional divisions. She ordered an investigation into the assassin’s identity and funding while pressing her elders to explain their failure to stop him.

• Bibi Dong completed another Rakshasa God trial, rested for half a month, and returned to her duties as Pope.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei told Bibi Dong that the Masked Killer had escaped six confrontations, even when several elders joined the attacks.
• Bibi Dong examined the victims’ list and realized most of the dead belonged to her faction, while the Worship Hall had little reason to protect them.
• Bibi Dong concluded that the Masked Killer’s escalating targets had left Spirit City’s residents feeling safe and had exposed the Worship Hall’s political motives.
• Yue Guan identified SkyNet’s Heaven-Grade Assassin as the likeliest identity of the Masked Killer, and Bibi Dong ordered an inquiry into major factions’ recent funds.
• Bibi Dong questioned why only five elders had confronted the Masked Killer and demanded an explanation for the other elders’ absence.

You Chen infiltrated Spirit City and discovered that its residents blamed Bibi Dong for Spirit Hall’s inability to stop the Masked Killer, damaging her reputation. After Bibi Dong emerged from seclusion, he received a mission to publicly humiliate her, with rewards for turning the city and continent against her.

• Bibi Dong offered Spirit Hall’s elders a soul bone from the Treasure Vault for whoever captured the Masked Killer, including Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
• You Chen suspected Spirit Hall’s Super Douluo had not intervened because of internal constraints, so he disguised himself as a resident and entered Spirit City to investigate.
• You Chen overheard residents discussing the killings and realized Spirit Hall had protected them from harm, while Bibi Dong’s reputation had suffered.
• You Chen concluded that humiliating Bibi Dong could complete a long-awaited mission, then waited until a suitable task appeared.
• Half a month later, on the day Bibi Dong emerged from seclusion, You Chen received a phased mission to humiliate her and make her a public joke.

You Chen impersonated Yu Xiaogang and publicly claimed that Bibi Dong had betrayed and humiliated him, completing the task’s first humiliation progress condition. Bibi Dong believed Yu Xiaogang was speaking through the Masked Killer and began suspecting You Chen, while You Chen prepared to move his clone out of Notting City.

• You Chen reasoned that Bibi Dong’s high Destiny Force made her task unusually difficult and decided he needed to provoke her in person.
• Bai Sha told Bibi Dong that the Masked Killer had removed his mask and revealed Yu Xiaogang’s face.
• You Chen disguised himself as Yu Xiaogang, accused Bibi Dong of betraying him, and fled Spirit City before the Titled Douluo arrived.
• The system told You Chen that Humiliation Progress 1 was complete, and he concluded that Bibi Dong remained deeply devoted to Yu Xiaogang.
• Bibi Dong felt guilty as she recalled how she had hurt Yu Xiaogang, then suspected You Chen of giving him information about her child.
• You Chen explained why he had included the claim about Bibi Dong’s pregnancy and decided it was time for his clone to leave Notting City.

You Xing reunited with Tang San for their promised three-year battle before leaving Notting City with You Chen, defeated him, and questioned Yu Xiaogang’s training of his Blue Silver Grass. He showed Tang San evidence that his martial soul was far stronger than ordinary Blue Silver Grass, leaving Tang San unsettled about his teacher’s advice and his own path.

• You Xing told Tang San he was leaving Notting City soon with You Chen, so Tang San agreed to fight him before their three-year agreement expired.
• Tang San wagered that You Xing would stay if he won, but You Xing defeated him within five minutes and revealed he was strong enough to fight a Soul Ancestor.
• Tang San demanded to know whether You Xing thought his martial soul had improved, and You Xing admitted he distrusted Yu Xiaogang’s choice to train Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass along the control-system path.
• You Xing explained that he had created the Martial Soul Six-Dimensional Scoring Method and showed Tang San how ordinary Blue Silver Grass scored poorly as a combat martial soul.
• You Xing presented a second chart rating Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass as an intermediate martial soul, and Tang San struggled to reconcile it with what he had been taught.

You Xing showed Tang San how Blue Silver Grass could support his hidden weapons and Clear Sky Hammer, leaving Tang San distressed over Yu Xiaogang’s advice and Tang Hao furious at his own past choices. You Chen and You Xing said goodbye to Sister Xiao Wu and departed, refusing her request to go with them.

• You Xing explained that Tang San could use Blue Silver Grass for cover, recovery, and amplification instead of relying on the control path, and Tang San realized those approaches suited his Twin Martial Souls.
• Tang San left after struggling with the possibility that Yu Xiaogang had failed to guide him well, while Tang Hao secretly blamed Yu Xiaogang and regretted entrusting Tang San to him.
• You Chen bid farewell to Sister Xiao Wu, gave her the cricket she called Yellow-skinned Great General, and mentioned that his enemy was Bibi Dong.
• You Xing also said goodbye to Sister Xiao Wu, then led her to You Chen’s residence when she insisted on speaking with him again.
• Sister Xiao Wu asked You Chen to take her with him, but he refused and disappeared with You Xing, leaving her alone.

Tang San began questioning Yu Xiaogang’s guidance and resolved to cultivate according to his own ideas, while Xiao Wu tried to leave Notting City but Tang Hao stopped her and forced her to stay near Tang San. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong decided to publicly hold a dialogue with the Masked Killer despite Hugh Pu’s warning, leaving her plan set in motion.

• Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang whether Blue Silver Grass could follow a support path, then decided to research and cultivate according to his own judgment after Yu Xiaogang insisted it belonged on the control path.
• Xiao Wu, increasingly worried about being discovered as a transformed Soul Beast, slipped out of Notting City at night.
• Tang Hao intercepted Xiao Wu, revealed that he knew her identity, and asked her to remain in Notting City beside Tang San under his protection.
• Xiao Wu suspected Tang Hao wanted her soul ring and soul bone, but concealed her fear and agreed to stay because she could not resist him.
• In Pope’s Hall, Hugh Pu warned Bibi Dong that publicly offering dialogue to the Masked Killer could make her appear to honor a killer who had slain Spirit Hall members.
• Bibi Dong dismissed Hugh Pu’s concerns and confirmed that she would proceed with the dialogue, driven by her feelings for Yu Xiaogang.

You Chen attended Bibi Dong’s public dialogue and realized she mistook him for Yu Xiaogang’s representative, so he used the misunderstanding to stage a devastating confession and betrayal. Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa God power went berserk as You Chen’s performance shattered her idealized memories of Yu Xiaogang.

• You Chen prepared to strengthen his martial soul’s origin power with Glimpse of Origin before the meeting with Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong waited in Spirit City’s central square as a crowd gathered, and You Chen arrived by riding the wind.

• You Chen revealed a face altered to resemble Yu Xiaogang and claimed he had deceived Bibi Dong to access Spirit Hall’s secret archives before admitting he had truly fallen in love with her.
• Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa God power ran wild as You Chen’s words destroyed her idealized view of their relationship.

Bibi Dong’s uncontrolled Soul Power caused mass casualties before Qian Daoliu arrived to suppress her, while You Chen fled and fought off pursuers. Azure Luan Douluo trapped You Chen, but You Chen’s Spirit Realm eruption transformed his abilities and let him escape, leaving Azure Luan Douluo shocked by a possible connection to You Chen’s father.

• Bibi Dong’s Soul Power rampaged, knocking out or killing spectators, and Qian Daoliu arrived to suppress her and calm the crowd.

• Azure Luan Douluo ambushed You Chen with his eighth soul skill and imprisoned him in a vacuum domain.
• You Chen unleashed his Spirit Realm power, gained precise control over five powerful Stardust Phantoms, and fought Azure Luan Douluo for three minutes.
• You Chen escaped when the four phantoms exploded into stardust, and Azure Luan Douluo suspected that You Chen’s wind-and-starlight powers belonged to his father.

After escaping Spirit City, You Chen spread paid rumors and memes about Bibi Dong across the continent, pushing his humiliation mission close to completion. Qian Renxue intervened to suppress discussion, leaving the progress stalled near 70% and You Chen weighing why she had acted.

• You Chen escaped Spirit City, while Azure Luan Douluo mistakenly concluded that the Masked Killer was You Chen's long-separated father.

• Qian Renxue accelerated Heaven Dou's suppression of public discussion, and You Chen's mission progress stalled near 70%.
• You Chen calmed himself and reasoned that Qian Renxue had acted because she could not bear to see Bibi Dong linked with Yu Xiaogang.
