• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San and Yu Linglong to leave traces of their spiritual origin so he could prepare their first Martial Souls.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that he had made a breakthrough in research on growth-type soul rings, and Tang San reacted with admiration.

Yu Xiaogang explained how growth-type soul rings could use a soul master's spiritual essence instead of a soul beast's soul essence, and warned Tang San and Yu Linglong against absorbing rings for both martial souls at once. The chapter ended with Oscar and Ma Hongjun learning about the Dragon Gate Sect's Artificial Soul Ring technology while Yu Xiaogang considered an experiment involving Ma Hongjun.

• Yu Xiaogang gathered Ma Hongjun and explained that a soul ring's upper limit came from a soul beast's soul essence, while its skills came from bloodline essence.
• Tang San reasoned that using his own spiritual essence could let a soul ring grow with his cultivation, and Yu Linglong teased him about adding a soul ring to his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang San asked whether he could add growth-type rings to both martial souls at once, shocking Ma Hongjun, who learned that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San and Yu Linglong that absorbing two soul rings simultaneously could overwhelm their bodies with violent Soul Power.

• Yu Xiaogang planned to introduce hundred-year Artificial Soul Rings first and began considering an experiment based on Ma Hongjun's physique and abundant life essence.

Yu Xiaogang prepared Tang San and Yu Linglong to learn the Spirit Origin Splitting Secret Art, then collected blood samples from Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu for analysis. After the painful blood draw, Ma Hongjun resolved to lose weight, and Tang San and Yu Linglong emerged from meditation ready for the next step.

• Yu Xiaogang sent the Spirit Origin Splitting Secret Art into Tang San and Yu Linglong’s Seas of Consciousness and had them study it.
• Yu Xiaogang gave blood collectors to Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu, with Ma Hongjun receiving an oversized one because of his thick layer of fat.

• Tang San and Yu Linglong began returning from their deep meditation.

Tang San and Yu Linglong prepared to split their Spirit Origins using Yu Xiaogang’s secret art so they could obtain growth-type soul rings. Tang San entered his Sea of Consciousness, reflected on leaving his past life behind, and began the splitting process.

• Tang San questioned whether a separated Spirit Origin could develop an independent consciousness, and Yu Xiaogang explained that he intended it to become a growth-type soul ring.
• Tang San refused Yu Xiaogang’s offer to cultivate another version of him as a soul spirit, while he and Yu Linglong resumed teasing each other about becoming the sect’s top direct disciple.
• Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San and Yu Linglong crystal Soul Tools to store their split Spirit Origins and warned them not to rush their later soul-ring absorption.
• Ning Rongrong worried about whether Tang San and Yu Linglong would succeed, and Yu Xiaogang reassured her as she prayed for them.
• Tang San entered his Sea of Consciousness, remembered how his former-life reflection had disappeared, and began the Spirit Origin Splitting Secret Art.

Tang San completed the Spirit Origin split and stored the smaller origin in a Soul Tool crystal, though the process left him mentally exhausted. Yu Linglong also succeeded, and Yu Xiaogang prepared the alchemical pills he had developed for them.

• Tang San used the Spirit Origin Splitting Secret Art to condense his Mental Power and separate a smaller Spirit Origin from his own.
• Tang San placed the split Spirit Origin into a Soul Tool crystal, which turned golden and showed a tiny phantom of him inside.
• Xiao Wu worried over Tang San's weakened condition, then embraced him when he announced that he had succeeded.
• Yu Linglong completed her Spirit Origin split, and Yu Xiaogang comforted her before having her meditate.
• Yu Xiaogang took out ten medicinal pills refined through his alchemy research with Deep Blue.

Yu Xiaogang showed his disciples pills made to restore and improve mental strength, then arranged for Yun Lan to demonstrate the difference between his new alchemy method and the old Whale Rubber process. The projection began explaining how the Whale Rubber pills were made, leaving Tang San eager to see the new method.

• Ning Rongrong complained about the bitter, greasy Whale Rubber pills, and Yu Xiaogang explained why he had not improved their flavor.
• Yu Xiaogang gave his disciples hard, jade-coated pills and explained that they would dissolve in the mouth and restore, purify, and increase mental power.
• Tang San and Yu Linglong recovered from meditation, and Yu Xiaogang told them the pills were made with Soul Power extracted from Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Yun Lan to demonstrate the pill-making methods through a lifelike virtual projection, astonishing Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
• Yun Lan showed how Whale Rubber pills were prepared, and Tang San watched closely while waiting to see Yu Xiaogang's new alchemy method.

Yun Lan demonstrated Yu Xiaogang’s new alchemy technique, and Tang San eagerly asked to learn it alongside Soul Tool crafting. Yu Xiaogang agreed on the condition that Tang San keep up with cultivation, then had Tang San and Yu Linglong take pills to restore their spiritual origins.

• Yun Lan showed Tang San how a Soul Tool Pill Furnace refined herbs into pills, including the impurities in failed pills and the runes in successful ones.
• Tang San rushed to Yu Xiaogang and asked to study his new alchemy technique.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San not to neglect cultivation while studying alchemy and Soul Tools.
• Tang San proposed studying alchemy while tending the medicinal garden at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, and Yu Xiaogang agreed.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San and Yu Linglong to take pills to restore their spiritual origins and instructed Xiao Ao and Hongjun to collect foundation-building resources after the noon break.

Yu Xiaogang used a Soul Power magnetic field receiver to monitor Tang San refining a pill, hoping to study his digestion and recreate the Six Treasures Immortal Thief. The experiment began as Tang San’s digestive organs activated, while Yu Xiaogang watched and recorded their responses.

• Yu Xiaogang activated his Soul Tool machine to project Tang San’s internal condition as Tang San and Yu Linglong began refining their pills.
• Xiao Wu asked about the machine, and Yu Xiaogang explained that it collected Soul Power magnetic field fluctuations without disturbing Tang San.
• Yu Xiaogang told Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong that Tang San’s data might help address Ma Hongjun’s Martial Soul side effects and Ning Rongrong’s exhaustion.
• Yu Xiaogang revealed that he hoped to recreate the Six Treasures Immortal Thief and had added harmless ingredients to Tang San’s pill to make its absorption easier to study.
• Tang San’s pill dissolved, and Yu Xiaogang observed and recorded the activity of his six digestive organs as they began processing it.

Tang San absorbed Yu Xiaogang's pill, restoring and greatly increasing his Mental Power while discovering that it left impurities in his body. Yu Xiaogang identified the impurities as Pill Poison, warned his disciples about the danger of pills, and told Tang San to stop taking them for at least a month.

• Tang San absorbed the pill and felt his Mental Power recover and grow as his Sea of Consciousness expanded, though he noticed black impurities in his body.
• Yu Linglong guided Oscar and Ma Hongjun through the initial circulation practice for the Longevity Technique Foundation Establishment Chapter while Yu Xiaogang studied Tang San's data.
• Tang San awoke and told Yu Xiaogang that the pill had broken through his Mental Power bottleneck and more than doubled his Sea of Consciousness.
• Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang whether the impurities left by the pill would harm his future cultivation, and Yu Xiaogang explained that they were Pill Poison.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San to use the Qi and Blood Bone Forging Method to expel the Pill Poison and avoid pills for at least a month, then warned all his disciples that poison-free pills were exceptionally rare.

Yu Xiaogang began developing the Six Treasures Immortal Thief with Deep Blue, using Tang San’s pill-absorption data to design a method that could absorb useful energies and expel harmful impurities. He invited his disciples to help with the research and started building models from Tang San’s and Ma Hongjun’s blood.

• Tang San used the Qi and Blood Bone Forging Method to slowly purge Pill Poison, then asked Yu Xiaogang about the Soul Tool’s projected body model.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that the model represented Tang San and that he planned to create the Six Treasures Immortal Thief to absorb Heaven and Earth Energy while expelling harmful substances.
• Tang San asked to join the research, and Ma Hongjun wondered whether the method could remove the flaws in his Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul.
• Yu Xiaogang said the method could theoretically address Ma Hongjun’s martial soul flaws and invited Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong to learn from the deduction.
• Tang San used Mental Power to draw blood for the Soul Tool’s model, while Oscar cut Ma Hongjun’s finger and brought his blood to the device.

Yu Xiaogang used the Soul Tool computer to begin deducing a Soul Power version of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, showing his disciples the dangers of altering cultivation methods. After failed attempts to strengthen the organs separately, he proposed strengthening them together by fusing Soul Power branded with spiritual will into the body's cells.

• Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang whether the disciples could use the simulated deduction Soul Tool machine, and Yu Xiaogang granted them access to his laboratory's data.
• Yu Xiaogang began using Tang San and Ma Hongjun's mathematical models to deduce the Six Treasures Immortal Thief while the disciples took notes.
• Yu Xiaogang's simulations showed that strengthening individual organs caused dangerous reactions, including corrosive stomach acid, rampant intestinal bacteria, and bodily mutations.
• Ning Rongrong hid behind Yu Linglong as the realistic simulations frightened the disciples.
• Yu Xiaogang decided to strengthen all the internal organs together and considered fusing Soul Power branded with spiritual will into the body's cells.
• Yu Xiaogang ended the session and told the disciples to organize their notes.

Yu Xiaogang dismissed his students after a difficult lesson on developing cultivation techniques and told Tang San and Yu Linglong to prepare for their First Soul Rings. He returned home to find Bibi Dong waiting for him, and the chapter ended with him promising to cook her lunch.

• Yu Xiaogang told Oscar and Ma Hongjun to focus on cultivating, while Ning Rongrong prepared for next year’s Martial Soul Awakening.

• Yu Xiaogang returned home and found Bibi Dong resting after a busy morning in Notting City.
• Bibi Dong teased Yu Xiaogang about the women around him, and he reassured her before going to make her favorite food.

Yu Xiaogang discussed his disciples’ abilities and the Six Treasures Immortal Thief with Bibi Dong, then created growth-type Artificial Soul Rings for Tang San and Yu Linglong. He left them with white, translucent rings that could grow stronger, but realized he needed a Soul Tool to conceal their unusual soul ring colors.

• Bibi Dong waited for Yu Xiaogang to prepare lunch and praised his Six Treasures Immortal Thief after Yun Lan showed her its research.
• Yu Xiaogang told Bibi Dong that Tang San and Yu Linglong were his only disciples with an aptitude for developing cultivation techniques, while she asked what he had taught that morning.
• Bibi Dong praised Yu Xiaogang’s technique and recalled her hatred of Qian Xunji, while Yu Xiaogang focused on preparing Tang San to confront their greater enemies in the God Realm.
• Yu Xiaogang checked Ah Rou’s growth, then used Tang San’s and Yu Linglong’s spiritual origins to create growth-type Artificial Soul Rings for them.
• Yu Xiaogang completed the two white, translucent rings and decided to research a Soul Tool that could disguise their colors so the disciples would not attract attention.

Yu Xiaogang and Deep Blue analyzed soul rings and discovered that the Gods had built a hidden mechanism into them to control soul masters. They successfully disguised Yu Xiaogang’s hundred-thousand-year soul rings as black rings and began making a Soul Tool for Tang San to conceal soul ring colors.

• Yu Xiaogang summoned Deep Blue to analyze his soul rings and investigate why rings of different ages had different colors.
• Deep Blue explained that the Gods set soul ring colors according to soul beasts’ Source Soul Power and could change the displayed colors by altering the relevant fluctuations.
• Deep Blue discovered a backdoor that let the Gods shut down or block soul rings, alarming Yu Xiaogang and prompting him to keep the secret among trusted people.
• Yu Xiaogang and Deep Blue changed the source fluctuations in Yu Xiaogang’s red soul rings, turning them black and removing their golden inscriptions.
• Yu Xiaogang and Deep Blue began processing a Soul Tool core for a device that would conceal soul ring colors for Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang finished a Soul Tool brooch and prepared growth-type Artificial Soul Rings for Tang San and Yu Linglong. He then began cultivating new Soul Rings for Xiao Wu and Oscar, and planned to experiment with combining Xiao Wu’s bloodline with that of a Listening Wind Rabbit.

• Yu Xiaogang completed a jeweled Soul Tool brooch with Deep Blue’s help and showed her Tang San’s changed appearance.
• Yu Xiaogang stored the growth-type Artificial Soul Rings prepared for Tang San and Yu Linglong, planning for them to absorb the rings after the next morning’s lesson.
• Yu Xiaogang placed Xiao Wu’s and Oscar’s blood samples and soul power into the Soul Ring cultivation machine to begin producing new rings.
• Yu Xiaogang blended Xiao Wu’s blood with a Listening Wind Rabbit sample and considered using gene technology to create a hybrid bloodline.

Yu Xiaogang used Deep Blue’s new mapping Soul Tool to examine Listening Wind Rabbit DNA and discovered that Soul Beasts had triple-helix DNA, which he believed explained inheritance and Martial Soul mutations. Concerned that Xiao Wu’s powerful bloodline would overwhelm the rabbits in a fusion, he ordered large-scale experiments and kept some of her blood for further study.

• Deep Blue assembled an Ultra-Precise DNA Mapping Soul Tool and began expanding Yu Xiaogang’s laboratory while he prepared to use the machine.
• Yu Xiaogang scanned blood from a Listening Wind Rabbit and saw that its DNA consisted of three connected genetic chains.
• Yu Xiaogang concluded that triple-helix DNA explained why children generally inherited one parent’s Martial Soul and why Twin Martial Souls and mutations were rare.
• Yu Xiaogang ordered Yun Lan to conduct bloodline fusion experiments in groups of ten thousand, combining Xiao Wu’s bloodline with the strongest Listening Wind Rabbit bloodlines.
• A Soul Guidance Robot carried most of Xiao Wu’s blood to the Immortal Realm for cultivation, while Yu Xiaogang kept a sample to examine her DNA.

Yu Xiaogang analyzed Xiao Wu’s and his disciples’ DNA, discovering how soul beast and human bloodlines differed and that his own cells were becoming energy-based. After sealing the sensitive results, he enlisted Deep Blue to help deduce a new cultivation technique with her computational power.

• Yu Xiaogang collected Xiao Wu’s blood and queued her and his disciples’ samples for DNA analysis, then added his own blood for testing.
• Yu Xiaogang found that Xiao Wu’s DNA was mostly like the Listening Wind Rabbit’s, with an unstable human genetic portion, while his disciples shared human sequences and distinct unknown sequences he associated with Martial Souls.
• Yu Xiaogang’s results showed that his DNA was unusually complex, his cells were becoming energy-based, and his blood remained active and could absorb Heaven and Earth Energy outside his body.
• Yu Xiaogang sealed the DNA data in his private database and learned from Deep Blue that the laboratory expansion was complete and Tang San’s group was close to making basic Soul Tools independently.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Deep Blue to help deduce a new cultivation technique, and she connected to the Dragon Gate Sect’s Soul Guidance computer arrays to access their data.

Yu Xiaogang and Deep Blue completed the Six Treasures Immortal Thief Body Tempering Technique, which strengthened the internal organs and absorbed Heaven and Earth Energy. The chapter ended with them discussing its safety and concluding that they lacked the knowledge to recreate the other Eight Wonders.

• Deep Blue recalculated the Six Treasures Immortal Thief after Yu Xiaogang suggested strengthening all the internal organs gradually and incorporating soul consciousness into Soul Power.
• Deep Blue's deduction showed soul consciousness, Bloodline Power, and Soul Power merging before circulating through the body and strengthening its organs.
• Deep Blue completed the body tempering technique, and Yu Xiaogang observed that the body model could absorb and refine Heaven and Earth Energy on its own.
• Yu Xiaogang asked whether the technique had the harmful side effects of the version in The Outcast, and Deep Blue assured him their gradual method had none.
• Yu Xiaogang and Deep Blue considered recreating the other Eight Wonders but found they lacked the necessary knowledge and foundational templates.
