Chapter Summaries

Cai Xu punished a student who had mocked him and explained that he had acted on Li Yu’s orders after Tang San attacked. Li Yu suspected that Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing were using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to draw Tang San into opposing Qian Renxue’s plans, and wondered why no god had approached him.

• Cai Xu took ten Gold Soul Coins from his pouch and forced a student to take responsibility for repairing the damaged academy entrance, threatening him for slandering the dean.

• Li Yu and Qian Renxue agreed that Cai Xu was sharp-minded and worth cultivating.
• Li Yu reasoned that Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing might have offered Tang San the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to obstruct Qian Renxue’s team in the Soul Master Competition.
• Li Yu wondered why no god had tried to recruit him despite the powers he had displayed, then told Qian Renxue that his trouble was less serious than their present intimacy.

Li Yu secretly entered Xue Ye’s bedchamber to demand the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, while Xue Ye reflected on Qian Renxue’s promise to preserve Heaven Dou and his own doubts about surrendering the throne. Xue Ye handed over the imperial treasure, and Li Yu left with it.

• Li Yu vanished from bed while Qian Renxue slept and appeared in Xue Ye’s bedchamber without alerting the guards.

• Xue Ye produced the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and Li Yu pulled it into his hand with his power.
• Xue Ye watched the treasure leave and lamented that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family lacked a loyal Titled Douluo.

Li Yu entered the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, destroyed the Sea God's remaining thought, and absorbed a fragment of his Divine Authority. She left with the shroud, now transformed into the Still Ripple Cosmic Shroud, while wondering why the Sea God himself had not reacted.

• Li Yu entered the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and confronted the Sea God's remaining thought, which attacked her with a golden halberd.
• Li Yu used her Elemental Sprite Domain and Still Water No Waves Domain to command the sea, then sent the Ying Fish against the Sea God's attack.

• Li Yu absorbed the fragment, strengthening her Spiritual Power and changing her First Soul Ring to sky blue with golden threads.
• Li Yu returned to the Nourishing Heart Hall, took the transformed Still Ripple Cosmic Shroud, and wondered why the Sea God had not reacted.

Li Yu learned that Wang Changzhi had returned with an apparently awakened Twisted Dragon Hand, welcomed Ning Rongrong into Thousand Feather Academy, and tried to fuse the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with her Sprite Eternal Skull. The skull surged to 200,000 years, but just before the fusion, a godlike figure appeared above Heaven Dou City.

• Li Yu learned from Qian Renxue that Wang Changzhi had returned with a changed martial soul, which she suspected had undergone a second awakening and been renamed Twisted Dragon Hand.
• Li Yu agreed to let Ning Rongrong join Thousand Feather Academy, bringing the team’s lineup to nine members.
• Li Yu began studying the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud after erasing the remnant will of the Sea God within it.
• Li Yu used her Sprite Eternal Skull to draw the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud toward her brow, and the skull’s age rapidly increased to 200,000 years.
• Just before the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and Sprite Eternal Skull fused, dark clouds covered the region and a massive godlike figure appeared above Heaven Dou City.

During the Preliminary Competition ceremony, a divine aura from Heaven Dou City alarmed powerful figures across the continent as the Sea God attacked Li Yu for coveting the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The God Realm Law stopped the Sea God from killing him, but the Sea God reclaimed the artifact, leaving Li Yu alive and considering how much more boldly he could act.

• A dark sky and oppressive sacred aura over Heaven Dou City alarmed the guests at the Heaven Dou Royal Hunting Grounds, while Sword Douluo Chen Xin remained still.
• Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and other Spirit Hall experts sensed the aura, and Sea God Island was shrouded in darkness as Bo Saixi wondered why the Sea God was enraged.
• The Sea God immobilized Li Yu with his Divine Might and summoned a golden halberd to kill him as he tried to merge the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with the Sprite Eternal Skull.
• The Elemental Sprite awakened on its own, and a voice condemned the Sea God for challenging the God Realm Law; the sky closed and the divine attack vanished.
• The Sea God took back the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, while Li Yu inferred that gods were restricted from interfering in the mortal realm and that his Sprite Schedule might be a divine trial.
• Li Yu accepted the loss of the artifact and smiled, believing his gains were still substantial and that few threats remained if no god intervened.

Li Yu recovered from the Sea God’s disturbance after the Sprite Eternal Skull reached the 500,000-year tier and gained Sprite Light. Dugu Bo revealed that he had transformed into a Snow Scale Sky Dragon and reached level 96, while Qian Renxue returned from the Preliminary Competition opening ceremony to check on Li Yu.

• Li Yu congratulated Dugu Bo, who felt that she had become an irreplaceable member of his family.
• Qian Renxue rushed back from the Preliminary Competition opening ceremony, checked that Li Yu was safe, and began asking Dugu Bo about his transformation.

Li Yu ignored the Promotion Tournament after an unexplained golden light fell within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, focusing instead on the Dark Demon Sprite’s hundred days in Slaughter City. After the Dark Demon Sprite won one hundred consecutive matches, Li Yu helped Liu Erlong withstand the city’s killing intent, leaving her able to keep pursuing her own hundred victories and escape.

• The factions learned that the golden light had fallen within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, but Li Yu left the anomaly unexplained and the Promotion Tournament continued without him.
• The Dark Demon Sprite won one hundred consecutive matches in Slaughter City, while Liu Erlong had accumulated just over seventy victories despite arriving earlier.

• Li Yu marked Liu Erlong with the Life Tree’s Life Gate and guided the ‘Eternity’ crown’s power into it to protect her from Slaughter City’s killing intent.
• The Dark Demon Sprite prepared to leave without waiting for Liu Erlong, who would now be able to continue toward one hundred victories and the Hell Road.

Li Yu sent the Dark Demon Sprite into Hell Road, where she easily defeated its guardians and collected the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s Inner Core. She stopped to absorb energy from Slaughter City’s core, while the Heaven Dou Division tournament ended and the teams departed for Spirit City without her.

• The Slaughter King opened Hell Road for Li Yu, then killed the Fallen Ones in the arena while sparing Liu Erlong.

• The Thousand Feather Academy Team finished fourth in the Heaven Dou Division tournament, and the teams departed for Spirit City while Li Yu stayed behind.

Li Yu absorbed the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s Soul Bones, raising her Soul Power to Level 80 while preserving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. She arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest still needing a right leg bone and an External Soul Bone to complete her Sprite Schedule.

• Li Yu found the remains of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s hidden Space Veins.
• Li Yu absorbed the Annihilation Flame Fire Dragon Right Arm Bone and Frost Mark Water Dragon Left Arm Bone, and both evolved to God-tier.
• Li Yu reached Level 80 and invested most of the excess power into the Space Veins to keep the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well functioning.

• Li Yu observed that her water and fire powers had grown stronger and that her first two Soul Rings had changed color.
• Li Yu arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Li Yu discovered that the Lake of Life bordered a sealed region of the Star Dou Great Forest and slipped inside to search for a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. He obtained a Dark Gold Terrorclaw and began absorbing the dying bear’s Soul Ring, while Bear Lord set out to collect its corpse.

• After searching the Star Dou Great Forest for half a month, Li Yu found distorted, missing Space Veins around the Lake of Life and realized the forest contained a sealed region.
• Li Yu used a weak point in the Space Veins to enter the sealed land, concealed himself, and cautiously searched its Outer Perimeter Area.
• Li Yu found a family of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears but left them alone, then chose a solitary bear with roughly fifty thousand years of cultivation that was close to death.
• Li Yu waited until the bear died, claimed its Dark Gold Terrorclaw and Soul Ring, and began absorbing the ring.
• Bear Lord sensed the death, lamented that he could not interfere with the rules, and left to collect the bear’s corpse.

Li Yu absorbed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's Soul Ring and gained Gold Element Control, but Bear Lord discovered her beside A Man's corpse and interrupted her attempt to escape through the moving breach. Trapped in the sealed space, Li Yu faced Bear Lord's questions and growing fury.

• Bear Lord entered the tree hollow and interrupted Li Yu's Space Leap, causing the breach to vanish again.
• Bear Lord demanded to know how Li Yu entered the sealed space and accused her of killing A Man.

Li Yu used Instant Movement to escape Bear Lord, but Star Dou Luck exposed his position and Bear Lord joined forces with Ten Thousand Demon King and Scarlet King to corner him. Li Yu found the hidden gap while using Silence and activated Space Leap to escape before their attacks landed.

• Li Yu fled Bear Lord through the Sealed Space, using Instant Movement and the Natural Life Domain to hide his presence.
• Bear Lord sensed Li Yu again, and Star Dou Luck marked him, allowing Bear Lord to keep tracking him.

• Li Yu used Silence to freeze time around himself and searched for the gap in the Sealed Space.
• Li Yu found the gap and activated Space Leap while the three ferocious beasts were unable to stop him.

Li Yu escaped the three fierce beasts by manipulating Space Power, but Di Tian awakened and pulled her back before she could reach the gap. Surrounded and facing Di Tian’s overwhelming strength, she unleashed every power she had and prepared to fight as a wild laugh announced that someone had finally broken free.

• Li Yu used Space Power to enter the Space Veins and escape the sealed space, while Ten Thousand Demons King, Bear Lord, and Scarlet King realized she had mastered it.
• Di Tian awakened, tore open space, and used his power to stop Li Yu from reaching the gap.
• Li Yu summoned her eight Soul Rings, domains, soul bone skills, dragon souls, and Elemental Sprite True Body to fight Di Tian and the fierce beasts.
• Di Tian sensed the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s auras in Li Yu’s dragon souls and asked who she was, but she challenged him to kill her to find out.
• Li Yu’s attacks failed to overcome Di Tian and the other beasts, and an unknown voice suddenly laughed that it had finally been freed.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared before Li Yu and joined forces with him to disrupt Star Dou Luck and open a way out of the sealed Star Dou Great Forest. As Di Tian unleashed his true power against them, Li Yu announced that the escape route was ready.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared before Li Yu and challenged Di Tian over years of imprisonment and draining.
• Di Tian attacked Li Yu and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who used his remaining power to shield them and disrupt Star Dou Luck.
• Li Yu and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealed their secret plan: Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would hold off Di Tian while Li Yu took them through the gap.
• Di Tian recognized that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's defensive power might let them escape and prepared a stronger attack.
• Li Yu said the gap was ready and told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to go.

Li Yu and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm escaped Di Tian’s attack, and Li Yu fled far from the Star Dou Great Forest with the weakened Million-Year Soul Beast. She brought Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into the Elemental Sprite Domain and began recovering while examining the Dark Gold Terrorclaw.

• Di Tian explained that using his full strength would have loosened the sealed space and helped Li Yu and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm escape, then ordered Sky Azure Bull Python to find information about Li Yu.
• Li Yu used Space Leap repeatedly to flee with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and stopped beside a river far from the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned Li Yu not to kill him, claiming his Million-Year Soul Ring could help her advance to Titled Douluo, and revealed that he had sensed the aura of a deity’s inheritance around her.
• Li Yu brought Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into the Elemental Sprite Domain, continued recovering, and took out the Dark Gold Terrorclaw.

Li Yu absorbed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s External Soul Bone and created Yi, a metal cube that could devour metal and Soul Bones to strengthen and reshape itself. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue worried about Li Yu’s disappearance and the growing threat to Thousand Feather Academy before its match against Godwind Academy.

• Someone asked Qian Renxue what was wrong.

Li Yu returned to the arena as Thousand Feather Academy faced the restructured Godwind Academy, revealing that she had become a Five Ring Soul King. Godwind Academy immediately concentrated its strength into Feng Xiaotian, who launched an attack against her.

• Zhong Jiayao stunned Godwind Academy briefly, while Ning Rongrong and Yu Xiaoman enhanced Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Wang Changzhi.
• Feng Xiaotian charged at Li Yu with his Gale Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, but Li Yu summoned Emerald Willow Branches to restrain him.
• Feng Xiaotian’s wind and fire failed to harm the Willow Branches, and they wrapped around him.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu defeated Godwind’s flank fighters and support members while Wang Changzhi forced Huo Wushuang back.
• Within ten breaths, Thousand Feather remained standing and Huo Wushuang was Godwind’s only fighter left, so Li Yu asked if they wanted to continue.

Thousand Feather Academy defeated New Godwind in the second round, with Li Yu overwhelming Feng Xiaotian and leaving her full strength unclear.

• Xue Qinghe told Dugu Yan that Heaven Dou Royal Academy would not encounter Thousand Feather Academy in the third round.
