Chapter Summaries

Fang Ling tested his new Silver Emperor Flash skill in a sparring session with Dugu Bo, combining its three-stage teleportation with his scythe techniques. Dugu Bo praised the combo but warned that repeated use consumed too much Soul Power, leaving Fang Ling with advice on when to save the skill for a decisive finish.

• Dugu Bo took Fang Ling to a cave near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to test his new soul skill without interference.
• Fang Ling explained that Silver Emperor Flash could be used with intervals to keep its Soul Power cost low, then prepared to spar with Dugu Bo.
• Fang Ling teleported behind Dugu Bo and attacked with Cursed Blade, then used the second and third stages of Silver Emperor Flash to continue the combo and retreat from Dugu Bo's counterattack.
• Dugu Bo praised Fang Ling's tactics but pointed out that three consecutive teleports consumed too much Soul Power.
• Dugu Bo advised Fang Ling to use teleports unpredictably and reserve the multi-stage sequence as a finishing move, and Fang Ling thanked his teacher.

After Dugu Bo completely purged his poison, he returned Fang Ling to Heaven Dou City and spent a month searching Sunset Forest for a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone for Dugu Yan. Fang Ling revealed that he had obtained an External Soul Bone in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Dugu Bo finished purging his poison and thanked Fang Ling for saving him, then asked him to help detoxify Dugu Yan.
• Dugu Bo took Fang Ling back to Heaven Dou City and hunted in Sunset Forest for a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone while Fang Ling cultivated.
• After a month of hunting without success, Dugu Bo returned to Dugu Manor exhausted and promised to keep searching.
• Fang Ling told Dugu Bo to stop looking and revealed that he had obtained an External Soul Bone in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Fang Ling summoned the black, red-and-white patterned External Soul Bone, shocking Dugu Bo.

Fang Ling offered Dugu Bo his External Soul Bone as a way to help Dugu Yan and test Dugu Bo’s sincerity, but Dugu Bo refused to take it. Fang Ling then removed the bone himself and handed it to Dugu Bo, leaving his teacher feeling deeply indebted to him.

• Fang Ling revealed his External Soul Bone and offered it as a place to transfer poison for Dugu Yan, but Dugu Bo angrily refused to covet his disciple’s treasure.
• Fang Ling confirmed that Dugu Bo’s refusal showed he genuinely cared for him, yet decided he would give up the soul bone anyway.
• Before dawn, Fang Ling used a dagger to cut the External Soul Bone from his foot while carefully limiting the damage and blood loss.
• Dugu Bo rushed in, saw Fang Ling’s gruesome self-mutilation, and sighed as Fang Ling handed him the blood-stained soul bone.
• Fang Ling told Dugu Bo he would need his help with future pressures and Immortal Herbs, while Dugu Bo reflected that he owed his disciple far too much.

Fang Ling carved out his External Soul Bone and offered it to Dugu Yan, enduring a severe foot wound that Ye Lingling healed. Dugu Yan learned that Fang Ling had done it willingly, but she still wondered why he had sacrificed so much for her.

• Dugu Bo returned the External Soul Bone to Fang Ling, tended his foot, and went to fetch Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
• Fang Ling fell asleep while Dugu Bo brought the two women back to Dugu Manor.
• Ye Lingling discovered Fang Ling's exposed bone and used her Nine Heart Begonia to heal his foot.
• Fang Ling revealed the bloodied External Soul Bone and told Dugu Yan it was suited to transferring poison.
• Fang Ling explained that he had carved out the soul bone himself after Dugu Bo had objected to the idea.
• Dugu Yan took the soul bone and wondered why Fang Ling had gone to such lengths for her.

Fang Ling gave Dugu Yan his External Soul Bone, earning Dugu Bo’s trust and Dugu Yan’s gratitude, then discovered that the Blast talent remained even after the bone was gone. A month later, Dugu Bo brought Fang Ling and Dugu Yan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, after spending the month teaching Fang Ling and the two women.

• Fang Ling gave Dugu Yan his External Soul Bone, and Dugu Bo promised never to betray him as long as Fang Ling remained loyal.
• Ye Lingling reproached Fang Ling for giving away the rare bone, but treated him as he rested and checked his Stats Panel.
• Fang Ling found that Blast Lv3 remained listed as a Body Talent despite the Soul Bone section becoming blank, and considered whether he could use the talent without the bone.
• Dugu Bo kept Fang Ling resting for a month, then brought him and Dugu Yan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after teaching them cultivation, Soul Beasts, poison, and medicine.

Fang Ling helped Dugu Yan adapt to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s extreme aura and spent two months overseeing her detoxification. With her poison removed, he turned to consuming the immortal herbs he had chosen for himself.

• Dugu Bo brought Fang Ling and Dugu Yan to a nearby cave so she could gradually adapt to Fang Ling’s blood without being exposed to the well’s aura.
• Fang Ling gave Dugu Yan five drops of his blood and instructed her to circulate her Soul Power through her Soul Bone.
• Over the next two months, Dugu Yan adapted to the well and completed her detoxification, then hugged Fang Ling in gratitude.
• Fang Ling turned eleven, spent eight Points to reach level thirty-three, and had two Points left.
• Fang Ling told Dugu Bo he planned to consume the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo in that order.

Fang Ling consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and gained a level, a stronger body, and faster Soul Power circulation. The herb’s effects appeared as a new specialty, Golden Body Lvmax.

• Fang Ling ate the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and cultivated while Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan watched.
• Fang Ling refined the herb’s power, which strengthened his meridians and cleared blocked pathways as his martial soul and soul rings shone.
• After three hours, Fang Ling revealed that his Soul Power had reached level thirty-seven and that his physical condition rivaled an ordinary Soul King’s.
• Fang Ling demonstrated that his Soul Power circulated quickly enough to release ordinary skills almost as fast as his Teleportation Spirit Ability.
• Fang Ling discovered that his former Ice Fire Immunity and Invulnerable to All Poisons traits had been replaced by the Golden Body Lvmax specialty.

Fang Ling absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew after learning how the Immortal Herbs had strengthened his body and meridians. The herb awakened Weakness Detection Lv7, letting him spot flaws in an enemy’s Soul Power circulation and deal extra damage.

• Fang Ling explained that three Immortal Herbs had strengthened his body, granted resistances, and increased his Soul Power circulation speed.
• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan reacted to Fang Ling’s gains, and Dugu Bo said he would consider a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring if Fang Ling’s Spiritual Power qualified.
• Fang Ling identified and consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which withered after its medicinal dew entered his mouth.
• Fang Ling absorbed the herb’s power into his brain and eyes as Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan watched crimson-gold light surround his head.
• Fang Ling opened his eyes and gained Weakness Detection Lv7, which helped him perceive weaknesses in enemies’ Soul Power circulation.

After reaching Level 7 in Weakness Detection, Fang Ling gained the ability to perceive the flow of energy in his surroundings and in people. He decided to wait before taking another Immortal Herb, while Dugu Yan prepared to absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon the next day.

• Fang Ling discovered that Weakness Detection Level 7 let him see energy flows, including those within the Ice Fire Spring and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
• Fang Ling's crimson-gold eyes revealed Dugu Yan's Soul Power circulation, but he could not see through Dugu Bo's dense Soul Power.
• Dugu Bo judged that Fang Ling's Spiritual Power was still insufficient to safely absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Fang Ling chose to wait until he had digested the remaining effects of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum before eating the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.
• Dugu Bo and Fang Ling agreed that Dugu Yan would rest overnight and take the Earth Dragon Golden Melon the next day.

Dugu Yan consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and endured its immense pressure as its medicinal power began evolving her Jade Phosphorous Serpent. After six hours of absorbing the herb, she opened her eyes and roared like a dragon.

• Dugu Yan excitedly woke Fang Ling and Dugu Bo, eager to take an Immortal Herb.
• Dugu Bo rejected Dugu Yan's suggestion to consume the Snow Swan Kiss and led her to the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
• Dugu Yan peeled away the melon’s scales with her blood and ate its flesh before meditating to absorb its medicinal power.
• Dugu Yan endured the herb’s crushing earthy pressure for three hours as its medicinal power began healing her and evolving her Martial Soul.
• After another three hours, Dugu Yan opened her eyes and let out a clear dragon's roar.

Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent evolved into the Jade Gold Dragon after she absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, leaving her and Dugu Bo to plan how to conceal the transformation. They decided to attribute her changes and rapid cultivation to a soul ring and the Poison Pill, while Fang Ling’s own rise toward Soul Ancestor remained difficult to explain.

• Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul evolved into a True Dragon Spirit, briefly manifesting jade-gold wings before settling into a shining Dragon Arm.
• Dugu Yan let Fang Ling name her evolved Martial Soul, and he called it the Jade Gold Dragon.
• Dugu Bo returned to Dugu Manor with Dugu Yan and Fang Ling, carrying the Aromatic Silk Beauty for Ye Lingling.

• Fang Ling decided to stop spending Points on his cultivation and considered using Qian Renxue’s influence to stall Spirit Hall’s plans against him.
• Dugu Bo advised Fang Ling to stay quietly at the residence for now and gave him an Immortal Herb for Ye Lingling.
• Fang Ling swore a Spirit Oath to Dugu Bo that he would not betray Dugu Yan as long as she remained faithful to him.
• A day later, Ye Lingling visited Dugu Manor, where Fang Ling led her inside and promised her an astonishing surprise.
• Dugu Yan greeted Ye Lingling, who guessed that she and Fang Ling were involved and warned him to make sure his surprise was truly impressive.

Fang Ling gave Ye Lingling the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, which transformed her Nine Heart Begonia and raised her Soul Power to the level thirty bottleneck. The herb also gave her the ability to suppress toxins, and Fang Ling planned to ask Ye Renxin about the change while keeping the new ability secret.

• Fang Ling showed Ye Lingling the Aromatic Silk Beauty and explained that it might solve the problem with the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit.
• Fang Ling revealed that an Immortal Herb had raised his Soul Power to level thirty-seven, while Dugu Yan showed her changed Martial Soul and level thirty-eight cultivation.
• Ye Lingling thanked Fang Ling with a kiss, then consumed the Aromatic Silk Beauty after Fang Ling prepared it.
• After five hours of meditation, Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia changed into a Nine Heart Fragrant Begonia, and her Soul Power rose from level twenty-eight to the level thirty bottleneck.
• Ye Lingling confirmed that her new Martial Soul could suppress toxins, and Fang Ling told her to keep that ability secret and planned to ask Ye Renxin about it.

After more than half a year of training under Dugu Bo, Fang Ling mastered a new way to channel Soul Power through his scythe and reached Scythe Technique Lv4. Concerned that Fang Ling’s missing leg would hinder his cultivation, Dugu Bo discussed rare limb-regenerating Soul Bones with him, and Fang Ling asked whether he could trust his teacher.

• Ye Renxin accepted Fang Ling as his son-in-law after learning that Ye Lingling’s Martial Soul flaw had been repaired, and Ye Lingling moved into Dugu Manor.

• Dugu Bo warned that Fang Ling’s incomplete leg could obstruct his future cultivation, and Fang Ling asked about Soul Bones that could regenerate severed limbs.
• After Dugu Bo explained how rare such Soul Bones were, Fang Ling asked if he could trust him.

Fang Ling told Dugu Bo about a soul bone tied to Tang Hao and devised a plan to obtain it, while also revealing an Immortal Herb that could strengthen Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo set out for the Star Luo Empire to take the herb from the Speed Clan, leaving Fang Ling to recover and await his return.

• Fang Ling told Dugu Bo that a soul bone capable of restoring his severed limb belonged to someone powerful, and Dugu Bo agreed to help despite not knowing how Fang Ling learned of it.
• Fang Ling told Dugu Bo to hide near the coast and later return publicly with a sea soul bone, using the cover to draw Tang Hao out while exploiting his injuries.
• Fang Ling revealed that the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was held by the Bai Family patriarch of the Speed Clan and explained that it could improve Dugu Bo's body and Soul Power.
• Dugu Bo decided to use Gold Soul Coins and threats to obtain the herb from the Speed Clan, then departed for the Star Luo Empire.
• Fang Ling wished Dugu Bo success, watched him leave, and went to seek treatment from Ye Lingling.

Dugu Bo tracked down the impoverished Speed Clan and used poison to keep its members from escaping while he confronted clan leader Bai He. He obtained the Immortal Herb Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and hurried away to consume it.

• Dugu Bo used Heaven Dou intelligence to locate the Speed Clan in a small city and entered its manor.
• Dugu Bo poisoned the clan members with sleeping smoke, then introduced himself to the clan elders as Poison Douluo.

• Bai He surrendered the herb to protect his clansmen, and Dugu Bo paid him a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Dugu Bo left Bai He an antidote and departed with the Immortal Herb, eager to return and consume it.

Dugu Bo consumed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and recovered the physique of a healthy Titled Douluo. He then took Fang Ling and Dugu Yan to Sunset Forest to hunt for their next Soul Rings, where Fang Ling sought a spirit beast with death, fate, or spacetime attributes.

• Dugu Bo returned to Dugu Manor with the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng while Fang Ling practiced his scythe technique.
• Fang Ling urged Dugu Bo to consume the herb, and Dugu Bo absorbed it in seclusion for six hours.
• Dugu Bo emerged with a vigorous, restored body, and Dugu Yan, Fang Ling, and Ye Lingling congratulated him.
• Dugu Bo took Fang Ling and Dugu Yan to Sunset Forest to hunt for Soul Rings, while Ye Lingling stayed at the manor.
• Fang Ling requested a spirit beast with death, fate, or spacetime attributes, and Dugu Bo said he knew of no beasts tied to fate or spacetime.

Fang Ling abandoned his search for a Death-attribute soul ring after Dugu Bo found a Ten Thousand Year Annihilation Knife Mantis with the Spell Breaker ability. Fang Ling killed it, absorbed its soul ring after a fierce spiritual battle, and discovered changes to his Stats Panel.

• Dugu Yan obtained a four-thousand-year Earth Demon Centipede Dragon soul ring that granted her Azure Gold Bone Erosion Light, while Fang Ling searched unsuccessfully for a Death-attribute ring.
• After Fang Ling agreed to search for three more days, Dugu Bo spotted a Ten Thousand Year Annihilation Knife Mantis fighting another soul beast.
• Dugu Bo explained that the mantis's Spell Breaker could devour soul power attacks, protections, and Martial Soul Possession, and Fang Ling chose it for his next soul ring.
• Dugu Bo subdued the mantis with poison, and Fang Ling killed it with a single scythe strike before absorbing its ten-thousand-year soul ring.
• Fang Ling endured a four-hour spiritual battle against the mantis's phantom and completed the absorption, then saw changes to his Stats Panel.

Fang Ling tested the Law Breaking Blade soul skill he gained from the Annihilation Knife Mantis and reviewed the changes to his abilities after absorbing its Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. The chapter left him more confident about fighting multiple opponents, including in Slaughter City.

• Fang Ling activated Law Breaking Blade and learned that it consumed thirty percent of his Soul Power, with attacks draining even more.
• Dugu Bo tested the blade against his Martial Soul Possession and found that its law-breaking power eroded his scales and could penetrate a Titled Douluo's defenses.
• Fang Ling examined his Stats Panel and saw that his Martial Soul had evolved, his Soul Power had reached level forty-two, and he had gained the Annihilation Knife Mantis Soul Ring.
• Fang Ling discovered that Sharpness and Toughness had advanced to Level 5 and that he had gained Law Breaking Body Lv4, which reduced Soul Power consumption by fifty percent.
• Fang Ling discovered Instinct Lv4, which let him detect sneak attacks from behind within five meters, and gained confidence in facing multiple opponents.

Fang Ling consumed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo shoot, greatly toughening his Martial Soul and raising his Soul Power to level forty-four. Dugu Bo worried that Fang Ling was becoming too strong and conspicuous, but Fang Ling reassured him and urged him not to doubt his ability to protect his disciple.

• Fang Ling spent the eight points from killing the Ten Thousand Year Annihilation Knife Mantis on his Martial Soul, raising its evolution percentage to 35%, and noticed his Special Talent had changed upon reaching Soul Ancestor.
• Dugu Bo took Fang Ling to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Fang Ling found and ate the bitter Ink Jade Bamboo Shoot.
