• Gu Yuena weighed the risks of fighting while injured, as Yun Chuan considered studying her powers and wondered whether he could defeat her.
• Two petite figures ran into the hall, breaking the standoff between Gu Yuena and Yun Chuan.

Yun Chuan found the two Little Dragon Girls in Gu Yuena’s palace, where they had overeaten heavenly treasures, and used Five Elements Light to help them digest the energy.

• Gu Yuena felt the Asura divine power in her body loosen and her old injuries begin to improve under the light.
• Gu Yuena recalled opening her treasury to help the infant Ice and Fire Dragon Kings grow, then watched Yun Chuan with a complex, hesitant expression.

Yun Chuan helped the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings digest the Immortal Fruits, then offered to help Gu Yuena recover because they shared an enemy in the God Realm. He began explaining how the God Realm depended on the faith of the 108 planes it controlled, including Douluo Continent.

Yun Chuan treated Gu Yuena by analyzing her body and removing the Asura God Power that had suppressed her. He gained major insights into divine power and soul rings, but deliberately left her injuries untreated so she would not recover her full strength yet.

Tang Hao began Tang San’s two-year training in the valley, healing his hidden injuries and sealing his Soul Power before assigning him to practice the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique beneath the waterfall. After three days, Tang San still could not stand on the rock, and Tang Hao compared his progress unfavorably with Yun Chuan’s.

• Tang Hao brought Tang San to the valley and healed the hidden injuries accumulated from his recent training and competitions.
• Tang San identified his lack of explosive power in battle, and Tang Hao said his sixth soul ring would eventually change that weakness.
• Tang Hao sealed Tang San’s Soul Power, gave him a Forging Hammer, and ordered him to practice the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique beneath the waterfall until he could complete eighty-one strikes without interruption.
• Tang San spent three days trying to stand on the smooth rock beneath the waterfall, but the force of the water repeatedly washed him back into the pool.
• Tang Hao became discouraged as he compared Tang San’s slow progress with Yun Chuan, who had stood on the rock after only one day.

Tang San trained beneath the waterfall for three months, learning to withstand its force and master the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique without Soul Power. He completed all eighty-one hammer strikes, earning Tang Hao’s satisfaction as his training continued.

• Tang San repeatedly tried to stand on the round stone and gradually learned to balance against the waterfall’s force.
• Tang Hao watched Tang San train, comparing him unfavorably with Yun Chuan but taking comfort in his son’s persistence.
• By the fifth day, Tang San could stay on the stone for five seconds, and from the sixth day he began swinging the Forging Hammer.
• After Tang San learned to stand steadily, Tang Hao told him to cultivate, and Tang San found that his Mysterious Heaven Skill continued accumulating power within the seal.
• On the fifteenth day, Tang San successfully struck the waterfall with the first hammer of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and continued improving.
• Three months later, Tang San completed all eighty-one hammer strikes, and Tang Hao was satisfied that he had done so faster than Tang Hao himself.

Tang San completed a year of waterfall training under Tang Hao, adapting to increasingly difficult hammers and mastering the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. Confident in his control of strength, he hoped his progress would bring him closer to defeating Yun Chuan and rescuing Xiao Wu.

• Tang San proudly told Tang Hao that he had completed eighty-one strikes, and Tang Hao replaced his Forging Hammer with a wooden one for further practice.
• Tang San discovered the wooden hammer made it harder to keep his footing and control his swings, and it broke during his third strike.
• Tang San continued training with wooden hammers, carefully controlling his strength as the task grew more difficult.
• Nine months later, Tang San used an enormous wooden hammer to lift nearly the entire waterfall with eighty-one strikes.
• After a year of training, Tang San asked Tang Hao what he would use next and felt confident that his mastery of strength brought him closer to defeating Yun Chuan and rescuing Xiao Wu.

Yun Chuan followed a mysterious connection in the Star Dou Great Forest to an ancient Dragon Egg buried in volcanic lava and accelerated its growth with his life force. The egg hatched, revealing a golden, flame-bearing dragon claw, though the newborn creature’s full form remained unseen.

• Yun Chuan sensed something in the Star Dou Great Forest calling to him and used his Plant Domain to locate it.
• Yun Chuan froze an active volcano and extracted an ancient Dragon Egg from its lava-filled crater.
• Yun Chuan recognized the egg’s dragon life force, brought it to a secluded Mountain Cave, and used his life force to bring it close to hatching.
• Yun Chuan let the creature struggle against the shell on its own until it pierced the egg with a golden, flame-bearing claw.
• The Dragon Egg shattered, and the newborn life inside revealed itself.

Yun Chuan discovered that the golden beast he found was Wang Qiu'er, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Star Dou Great Forest’s Auspicious Beast. After she was born, he linked attributes with her and gained the Eye of Destiny, leaving her with some common-sense knowledge.

• Yun Chuan identified the newborn golden beast as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Wang Qiu'er.
• A golden beam enveloped Wang Qiu'er, rapidly growing her body and causing her third eye to open.
• Soul Beasts throughout the Star Dou Great Forest roared and knelt as they sensed the birth of their Auspicious Beast.
• Yun Chuan realized his fortune had led him to Wang Qiu'er and decided to borrow her power of destiny.
• Yun Chuan linked attributes with Wang Qiu'er, sealed most of his memories, and received the Eye of Destiny.
• Wang Qiu'er awoke with intelligence comparable to a seven- or eight-year-old child.

Yun Chuan entrusted the newly hatched Three-Eyed Golden Lion to Di Tian, reassuring her with a promise to return. After Yun Chuan teleported them to the Core Region, the waiting Ferocious Beasts gathered around the frightened Auspicious Beast.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion called Yun Chuan her mother, and Yun Chuan playfully asked her to call him Daddy.
• Di Tian arrived, and Yun Chuan persuaded the reluctant Three-Eyed Golden Lion to stay with him in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Yun Chuan used his Plant Domain and spatial power to teleport Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the Core Region.
• The Ferocious Beasts, including the two Little Dragon Girls, surrounded the Three-Eyed Golden Lion by the Lake of Life, frightening her.

After returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, Yun Chuan sensed the power of the Eye of Destiny and turned to creating a Soul Master System that could condense soul rings without Soul Beasts. He went to Spirit Hall’s Sky Prison to obtain prisoners for his work, leaving with an attendant assigned to gather them and prepare a quiet room.

• The two Little Dragon Girls stayed behind to grow and study after Yun Chuan promised to visit and bring them gifts.
• Yun Chuan returned to Blue Silver King Manor, rejoined his main body, and sensed the Eye of Destiny’s power.
• Yun Chuan began preparing to create a Soul Master System that did not rely on Soul Beasts or soul rings.
• Yun Chuan entered Spirit Hall’s Sky Prison and passed the cells holding imprisoned Evil Soul Masters.
• Yun Chuan ordered a black-robed attendant to bring prisoners of different ages and genders and arrange a quiet room.

Yun Chuan experimented on imprisoned Evil Soul Masters to learn how to make Soul Masters condense Soul Rings independently, inspired by Xiao Wu’s ability as a transformed Soul Beast. His first test failed catastrophically, and he began a second experiment on a young woman.

• Yun Chuan examined a young Bloodthirsty Ape Soul Master and raised his Soul Power from rank twenty-three to the rank thirty bottleneck.
• Yun Chuan guided Five Elements Power to form a third Soul Ring, but it collapsed and destroyed the man’s other Soul Rings, leaving him dead.
• Yun Chuan studied the young man’s death and considered how the loss of Soul Rings affected a person.
• Yun Chuan recalled that Xiao Wu could condense Soul Rings herself at each rank ten bottleneck, inspiring his goal of a Soul Master who did not depend on Soul Beasts.
• Yun Chuan began the same independent Soul Ring experiment on a young woman imprisoned for trafficking and abusing children.

Yun Chuan successfully developed the Spirit Ring Condensation Method, allowing Soul Masters to create Martial Soul-compatible spirit rings that could grow with their abilities. He planned to test it within Spirit Hall before releasing it and began considering how ordinary people could gain Innate Soul Power.

• After six failed attempts, Yun Chuan successfully condensed a spirit ring with the seventh prisoner.
• Yun Chuan researched how self-condensed spirit rings could produce soul skills suited to a Soul Master's Martial Soul and deepest desires.
• Yun Chuan named his completed method the Spirit Ring Condensation Method, which let Soul Masters create and gradually strengthen their own spirit rings.
• Yun Chuan decided to test the method on people within Spirit Hall and delay its public release until Spirit Hall had unified the continent.
• Yun Chuan wondered whether ordinary people could be given Innate Soul Power so that everyone could become a Soul Master.

Yun Chuan wondered how Innate Soul Power worked and decided to study children during their Martial Soul awakenings. He secretly watched Su Yuntao conduct an awakening ceremony in Douluo Village, using his Fiery Eyes of Truth to examine the children’s bodies.

• Yun Chuan considered the connection between Martial Souls, Innate Soul Power, and cultivation, then chose to observe children undergoing their awakenings.
• Su Yuntao awakened a village boy’s carrot Martial Soul and found that the boy had no Soul Power.
• Su Yuntao awakened the other children, whose food-type Martial Souls also showed no Soul Power.
• Yun Chuan secretly observed the ceremony under an illusion and used his Fiery Eyes of Truth to inspect the children’s meridians and channels.

After studying Martial Soul awakenings, Yun Chuan concluded that Innate Soul Power came from energy absorbed by the body and that children could develop it before awakening through active cultivation. He created a simple method for young children and began testing it, hoping to give everyone a chance to become a Soul Master.

• Yun Chuan observed eighty-six Martial Soul awakening sites and concluded that constitution determined how much Soul Power people absorbed naturally.
• Yun Chuan reasoned that children could build Soul Power before their Martial Souls awakened by actively absorbing energy from the world.
• Yun Chuan returned to Spirit Hall and spent more than half a month devising a simple cultivation method that young children could follow.
• Yun Chuan taught several one- and two-year-old children eighteen movements paired with a specific breathing rhythm.
• Yun Chuan named the method the Innate Skill and expected daily practice to build Soul Power before the children's Martial Souls awakened.

Yun Chuan prepared Spirit Hall Seedling Kindergarten’s first students to awaken their Martial Souls after three years of training with his improved calisthenics and lessons. With Spirit Hall’s senior figures gathered as witnesses, the ceremony was about to begin.

• Yun Chuan watched hundreds of children complete the sixth set of calisthenics and reflected that their Martial Soul awakenings would test three years of work.
• Yun Chuan explained that the children had come from families without Soul Power and that his training was intended to improve their prospects.
• Spirit Hall’s leaders approved Yun Chuan’s academy after he demonstrated the Spirit Ring Condensation Method and invited them to witness the students’ awakenings.
• The children assembled for the ceremony, anxious about their Martial Souls and Innate Soul Power, while ten Awakening Arrays and Soul Douluo-level experts were prepared.
• Yun Chuan was set to preside over the awakening ceremony as the gathered guests awaited its start.

Yun Chuan oversaw the awakening ceremony for several hundred students nurtured by Spirit Hall, and every student tested had Innate Soul Power. The astonishing results convinced Spirit Hall’s leaders that Yun Chuan’s methods could transform the Soul Master world, while the techniques remained secret.

• Yun Chuan began the ceremony as ten Soul Douluos awakened the first students’ Martial Souls and tested their Innate Soul Power.
• All ten Crystal Balls lit up, and the Soul Douluos announced that the students had Innate Soul Power ranging from Level Two to Level Four.
• Yun Chuan quieted the audience and sent the remaining students forward in groups to awaken their Martial Souls and have their Soul Power tested.
• The students displayed a variety of Martial Souls, and every Crystal Ball lit up as record keepers recorded their results.
• After several hundred students finished, the results showed that all had Innate Soul Power, with levels ranging from Two to Five, and Spirit Hall’s higher-ups looked at Yun Chuan differently.

Yun Chuan assessed the results of the Sixth Set of Broadcast Gymnastics and stepped down as principal after presenting his findings to Spirit Hall’s leaders. He left Bibi Dong to succeed him, hoping the school would strengthen her faction, while he remained neutral between her and Qian Renxue as Qian Renxue continued her Heaven Dou infiltration.

• Yun Chuan judged that the students’ Soul Power results underestimated the Sixth Set’s potential because they had started late and practiced earlier, less-developed routines.
• Yun Chuan concluded that children who began practicing around age one could reach higher Soul Power by awakening, and that children from powerful Martial Soul families could attain Innate Full Soul Power.
• After presenting his three years of results, Yun Chuan retired as principal and left instructions for the Spirit Hall Seedling Kindergarten to continue teaching the Sixth Set.
• Yun Chuan persuaded the Elder Hall to accept Bibi Dong as the next principal, giving her a chance to build influence and loyal followers.
• Yun Chuan chose to appear neutral in the rivalry between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, while secretly helping Bibi Dong and allowing Qian Renxue to continue her plan in the Heaven Dou Empire.

At eighteen, Tang San reached Rank 60 and mastered the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique enough to reverse a waterfall, but Tang Hao judged that he still lacked true combat experience. Tang Hao began teaching him about life-and-death battles and released his Killing Intent, leaving Tang San overwhelmed by the cold aura.

• Tang San used the Clear Sky Hammer and the eighty-one strikes of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to blast the waterfall into the sky.
• Tang Hao watched proudly as Tang San demonstrated the strength he had gained through three years of training and reached Rank 60.
• Tang San told Tang Hao that practicing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique no longer improved him much, and Tang Hao ended that part of his training.
• Tang Hao asked Tang San to assess his combat ability and explained that competitions had not taught him the essence of true life-and-death combat.
• Tang Hao said Tang San lacked pure Killing Intent and released his aura, making Tang San feel as if he had been plunged into an ice cellar.
