Chapter Summaries

On his martial soul awakening day, Tang Lan revealed his mutated twin spirits and entered the cave behind the waterfall to find his mother Ah Yin and her 100,000-year Soul Bone. Ah Yin gave him the Soul Bone, which he absorbed, and he resolved to save her while keeping Tang San alive for now.

• Tang Lan waited years for Tang San to teach him the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but Tang San kept it secret, so Tang Lan decided to act against him.

Tang Lan followed Ah Yin’s guidance to the Blue Silver King, where the Blue Silver Grass clan recognized him as their emperor and helped him awaken the Blue Silver Emperor. As Tang Lan was transformed inside a cocoon, Tang Hao arrived and broke down at the sight of Ah Yin’s image.

• Tang Hao saw Ah Yin’s image in the cocoon, wept before it, and revealed his nine Soul Rings, startling the Blue Silver King with the emperor’s aura of his final ring.

Tang Lan emerged from a seven-day transformation with an awakened Blue Silver Emperor, two self-evolving 6,500-year Origin Soul Rings, and greatly enhanced strength. After the Blue Silver King Elder taught him how to disguise his powers and gave him an inheritance, Tang Lan received a storage ring and gold before preparing to leave.

• Tang Hao ordered the Blue Silver King Elder to keep the Blue Silver Emperor’s sacrifice secret and disguise Tang Lan’s martial soul and soul rings as ordinary.

• The Blue Silver King gave Tang Lan a five-meter storage ring and a supply of pure gold, and Tang Lan promised to fulfill his promise to the Blue Silver clan.

Tang Lan returned to Holy Soul Village, mastered Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer after watching Tang San practice, and impressed Tang Hao, who decided to train him. Tang San discovered that Tang Lan possessed a far more powerful Blue Silver Emperor and realized his older brother had Twin Martial Souls too.

• Tang Hao scolded Tang San for being discouraged, and Tang Lan’s feigned defense of him deepened Tang San’s resentment toward their father.
• Tang Hao taught Tang Lan Haotian Bodyguard, which Tang Lan mastered and expanded into a complete defensive technique.

• Tang Lan offered to teach Tang Hao a healing Soul Power Path, and Tang Hao agreed after avoiding talk of Ah Yin.

After Tang Lan accidentally drained seven days of Tang San’s cultivation, he caught a Red-Eyed Rabbit that might be a Soul Beast, leaving Tang San hopeful about obtaining a Soul Ring.

• Tang Lan climbed through the waterfall to the cave, while Tang San fell into the water trying to follow him and was hauled inside.
• Tang Lan and Tang San found Ah Yin gone and returned from the cave, where Tang Lan dragged Tang San through the water again and used his inner force to dry his clothes.

• Tang Lan ensured Tang San would enroll as a regular student, keeping him from sharing a dormitory with work-study students such as Xiao Wu.

• Tang Lan persuaded Tang San to work at a blacksmith's shop, gave him new clothes, and advised him to register at Spirit Hall while hiding his Innate Full Soul Power.
• Tang Lan intimidated the academy gatekeeper with his spirit ring and instructed him to let Tang San register; Yu Xiaogang later entered the academy without meeting Tang San.

• Tang Lan enrolled as a work-study student and reached Room Seven, where he bound Wang Sheng with his Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor and declared himself the dormitory boss.
• Tang Lan gave a Gold Soul Coin to a student to buy bedding and toiletries, and Xiao Wu entered the dormitory.

Tang Lan welcomed Xiao Wu into the Seventh Dormitory, defeated her playful challenge, and offered to teach her a cultivation method. When Tang San arrived, Xiao Wu recognized his aura as that of a Soft Bone Rabbit and grew disgusted with him, allowing Tang Lan to seize some of Tang San’s Luck.

• Xiao Wu arrived at the Seventh Dormitory, accepted Tang Lan as its boss after failing to throw him, and agreed to learn the first two levels of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

• Tang Lan worsened Tang San's pain with Nine Yang Divine Skill Inner Force, and Tang San fled before the Mysterious Heaven Skill could be further disrupted.

• Yu Xiaogang summoned Tang Lan and Tang San, saying Tang Hao had asked him to teach them and inviting them to show their Martial Souls.
• Tang Lan revealed the Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor and Thunder Flame Haotian Hammer, impressing Yu Xiaogang, who focused on Tang Lan and only casually included Tang San in his offer to teach them.
• Tang San refused Yu Xiaogang, calling him irresponsible, and Tang Lan welcomed the resulting chance to stand with Tang San against him.

Tang Lan took Yu Xiaogang’s Storage Belt after demanding a gift in exchange for teaching, while Tang San rejected Yu Xiaogang’s offer to hunt Soul Rings and revealed his first Soul Ring. Tang Lan then challenged Yu Xiaogang’s qualifications as a teacher, leaving him unable to answer.

• Tang Lan used his newly acquired knowledge to provoke Yu Xiaogang, then demanded a gift before accepting his instruction.

• Tang San refused to go hunting for Soul Rings and demonstrated his white First Soul Ring, Whiplash, while Tang Lan apologized for his earlier advice.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that the Sea God Trials could raise Soul Ring Age, but Tang Lan pointed out that Yu Xiaogang had never taken the trials because his Martial Soul was weak.
• Tang Lan cited Yu Xiaogang’s own writings and his level-29 bottleneck to question whether Yu Xiaogang was a useless Soul Master and fit to teach the brothers.

Tang Lan discredited Yu Xiaogang, then used Tang San’s failed attempt to learn the Undying Imprint Technique to gain Soul Ring age. When the school term ended, he invited Xiao Wu to return home with him, and she happily agreed.

• Tang Lan challenged Yu Xiaogang’s theories by revealing his thousand-year First Soul Ring and questioning whether a soul master could cultivate before obtaining soul rings.
• Tang San condemned Yu Xiaogang and left with Tang Lan, whose delay of Tang San’s apprenticeship earned him the Undying Imprint Technique.
• Tang Lan demonstrated the technique by absorbing part of Tang San’s attack, then deliberately taught him a reversed version that injured him and earned Tang Lan Soul Ring age.

• Tang Lan returned to the empty dormitory and invited Xiao Wu to go home with him, and she eagerly accepted.

Tang Lan awakened powerful traits for both of his martial souls, choosing self-condensed God-level Origin Soul Rings for the Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor and Spirit Bestowal for the Thunder Flame Haotian Hammer. He discovered that Spirit Bestowal let him use both martial souls at once and remotely control Xiao Wu wielding the hammer, then reshaped it into a pink Thor’s Hammer.

• Tang Lan chose the Origin Soul Ring-level trait for the Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor, gaining enhanced control over nearby Blue Silver Grass and the ability to draw on its energy.
• Tang Lan chose Spirit Bestowal for the Thunder Flame Haotian Hammer, which let him use the hammer while keeping his other martial soul active.

• Tang Lan and Xiao Wu accompanied Tang San to Suotuo City, where Tang San left to collect Gold Soul Coins from Spirit Hall.

• Tang Lan offered to leave, then provoked Dai Mubai into challenging him for the room while Zhu Zhuqing watched from the shadows.

Tang Lan defeated Dai Mubai, impressing Zhu Zhuqing, then helped Xiao Wu complete her cultivation breakthrough and begin condensing her third Origin Soul Ring. He revealed that he had delayed condensing his own fourth ring so he could keep accumulating Soul Power and undermine Tang San.

• Tang Lan shielded Xiao Wu and challenged Dai Mubai, who revealed his Level 37 White Tiger Martial Soul and attacked him.
• Tang Lan revealed his Level 40 Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, dodged Dai Mubai's attack, and used his Blue Silver Emperor and Dragon Grasping Hand to bind and weaken him.
• Tang Lan defeated Dai Mubai, took the two rooms, and left; Zhu Zhuqing watched him go and decided she would try to win him over.
• Tang Lan and Xiao Wu went to Rose Room 1, where he tempered her body until she completed her transformation and reached Level 30.
• Xiao Wu began condensing her third Origin Soul Ring while Tang Lan stood guard and reflected on why he had delayed condensing his own fourth ring.

• Tang San asked Tang Lan for 257 Gold Soul Coins to pay for the Crystal Plate Ore he had reserved from Flender.
