Qian Daoliu decided to treat Yang Ming and Ya Li favorably, investigate those responsible for the Saga City incident, and accept Yang Ming as a possible son-in-law if he gave up his hatred.

• Yang Ming explained the unusual appearance of his Fourth Soul Ring, then found the Sky Dome Silver Peng Left Leg Bone and gave it to Dugu Bo.

Yang Ming developed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well through a partnership with Dugu Bo, then went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to watch a team match. There, Dugu Bo introduced him to two important figures.

• Yang Ming and Dugu Bo agreed that the Breaking Clan would take ownership of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and compensate the Dugu Family with a share of its medicinal herb yield, Immortal Herbs, and supplies.

• Dugu Bo introduced Yang Ming to a middle-aged man and a white-haired old man who had grown curious about him.

After defeating Feng Xiaotian, Yang Ming advised him to refine his combat style, then accepted Qian Renxue’s offer to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy on the condition that she help him assemble a team for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

On the way back to Heaven Dou City, Yang Ming agreed to help Ning Fengzhi evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul in exchange for three opportunities for Chen Xin to act.

As the Four Clans Gathering approached, he reunited with Yang Wudi and laid out a plan to investigate Tang Hao and the Strength Clan’s renewed ties to Tang San.

• Ning Rongrong used the Aromatic Silk Beauty to evolve her martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, delighting Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

• Yun Ming proposed using Tang San as bait at the Four Clans Gathering to draw out Tang Hao and investigate the truth, with Sword Douluo as their ally.

Yun Ming gave up his position as Young Master of the Breaking Clan rather than abandon Ya Li, and Yang Wudi accepted his decision. After learning about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its medicinal treasures, Yang Wudi began to consider how Yun Ming might regain his status.

• Yang Wudi confronted Yun Ming about choosing Ya Li and accused him of betraying the Breaking Clan, but Yun Ming affirmed his commitment to her.
• Yun Ming knelt and relinquished his authority and status as Young Master, and Yang Wudi formally accepted his decision.

• Yang Wudi decided to punish Yang Ming, then have Yang Wutian restore him as Young Master, and arranged to exchange positions with Yang Wutian after the gathering.

• Tai Nuo hurried into the hall with news, and Yang Ming announced that Tang San, Tang Hao’s son and the Strength Clan’s new master, had arrived.

At the Four Clans Gathering, Yang Ming revealed his account of Tang Hao and Tang San’s family history, then claimed Tang San’s mother was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor and accused Tang Hao of scheming for her sacrifice. Tang San angrily defended his father as Yang Ming’s final personal jab left the confrontation unresolved.

• Niu Gao prepared to leave the gathering after learning Tai Tan had recognized Tang Hao and Tang San as his masters, but Yang Ming stopped him by promising to reveal why Tang Hao killed the Pope.
• Tai Nuo brought Tang San into the hall, where Yang Ming confirmed he had sent the invitation and promised to explain Tang San’s parents’ past.
• Yang Ming recounted that Qian Xunji pursued Tang Hao’s pregnant wife, leading to her death, the Pope’s fatal injuries, and the Clear Sky Sect’s expulsion of Tang Hao and abandonment of the Four Clans.
• Yang Ming claimed Tang San’s mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, and suggested Tang Hao had engineered her sacrifice to obtain her Spirit Ring.
• Tang San raged at Yang Ming for accusing his father, while Yang Ming cited Tang San’s twin Martial Souls as evidence and questioned whether Tang Hao had treated him well.

• Tang Hao threatened to destroy the Breaking Clan if Yun Ming spread slander about the Clear Sky Sect, and Yun Ming activated the Sky Support Mark on Tang Hao.

Yang Ming's power triggered Tang Hao's severe internal injuries, while Tang San blamed Yang Ming and the Spirit Hall for his family's troubles. Yang Ming then condemned Tang Hao for betraying the Clear Sky Sect and abandoning the four clans, leaving the argument unresolved.

• Tang Hao apologized to Tang San, shared his final words, and died.

After Tang Hao died, Yang Ming left the Strength Clan, but conflict erupted over whether Tang San should be protected or killed. Yang Wudi severed the Breaking Clan’s ties with the Strength and Speed Clans, leaving the four clans split.

• Tang Hao died, and Yang Ming withdrew his Sky Support Mark before leaving with Chen Xin, who learned that Yang Ming had reached level 45.
• Yang Wutian attacked Tang San as he tried to carry Tang Hao’s body away, but Tai Tan took the spear wound and Bai He rescued Tang San.
• Yang Wutian demanded that Tang San be killed, while Tai Tan and Bai He declared they would protect him.
