• Qin Ming checked on Xiao Lin and the others, then told Xiao Lin and Tang San that the Three Instructors wanted to see them.

Xiao Lin considered whether fossils containing concentrated Soul Beast power could be turned into Soul Bones, then asked the Two Great Dragon Kings for their thoughts. They agreed the idea might work, leaving Xiao Lin considering a trial with the Dark Nether Stone and the possibility of armor made from the Mountain Dragon King's remains.

• Xiao Lin abandoned the idea of using Shrek's teachers as training opponents and examined the Dark Nether Stone, noticing its Soul Beast power, flesh, blood, and bone components.
• Xiao Lin reasoned that powerful Soul Beast fossils might hold compressed soul power that could be formed into Soul Cores and used to create Fossil Soul Bones.
• Xiao Lin told the Two Great Dragon Kings about his idea, and the Ice Dragon King suggested seeking fossils from the Mountain Dragon King's mountains and continents if Xiao Lin could not find a suitable Soul Bone.
• The Fire Dragon King agreed that the Mountain Dragon King's attributes suited a Torso Bone, and Xiao Lin considered making its fossils into armor or an External Soul Bone.
• Xiao Lin proposed that the Ice Dragon King test whether the ice-attributed Dark Nether Stone could be made into an External Soul Bone.

Xiao Lin learned that remnant Soul Beast souls and Vitality could be used to strengthen Soul Power, soul rings, and Soul Bones, and speculated about their connection to Spirit Second Awakening. Lei Lei proposed strengthening the Imprisoning Dragon Staff by absorbing a remnant soul from a Fossil Soul Bone.

• The Ice Dragon King explained that Fossil Soul Bones formed with remnant Soul Beast souls and Vitality, and warned that eating Soul Beast meat could be dangerous.
• Xiao Lin considered using remnant souls to strengthen soul rings and Soul Bones, then recorded his theory that the Original Body Sect might use stored power from previous generations for Spirit Second Awakening.
• Xiao Lin decided that Soul Beast corpses and remnant souls could help future believers form Self-Condensed Soul Rings, and asked the Two Great Dragon Kings whether they could awaken the Imprisoning Dragon Staff a second time.
• The Two Great Dragon Kings said they could not help, but Lei Lei offered to strengthen the Imprisoning Dragon Staff by having it absorb a Dragon Soul from a Fossil Soul Bone.

Xiao Lin watched the Ice Dragon King condense a Fossil Soul Bone from a Dark Nether Stone and considered ways to give Soul Beasts a second life. The process ended without incident, leaving Xiao Lin with new ideas about Soul Spirits and future experiments.

• Xiao Lin praised Lei Lei’s idea of fusing artifacts and considered whether his future Martial Soul could fuse with the Imprisoning Dragon Staff.
• Xiao Lin asked the Ice Dragon King to create a Fossil Soul Bone from a Dark Nether Stone while he studied the process with his Fiery Eyes of Truth.
• The Ice Dragon King’s Ultimate Ice spread across the Royal Fight Team’s grounds, prompting most of the team to approach Xiao Lin and then retreat when they saw he was safe.
• Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the Shi Family Brothers watched the Dark Nether Stone change and wondered whether Xiao Lin was awakening it.
• Xiao Lin considered turning Dark Nether Stones into Soul Beasts and imagined Soul Spirits finding fossil bodies after their Soul Masters died.

Xiao Lin condensed a tiny Fossil Soul Bone from the Dark Nether Stone while Yu Tianheng and the others mistook his work for soul power control training. The chapter ended with Xiao Lin hiding the result and wondering whether the new Soul Bone was an External Soul Bone.

• Xiao Lin asked the Two Great Dragon Kings whether a fossil could merge into a Soul Master's body, and the Fire Dragon King explained that the Fossil Soul Bone was made of soul power.
• The Ice Dragon King compressed the Dark Nether Stone's soul power into a tiny blue sphere, while Yu Tianheng and the others watched and praised Xiao Lin's control.
• Yu Tianheng resolved to double his Dragon Transformation training, while Shi Mo decided to enter his family's dangerous Secret Realm and his twin agreed to go with him once they became Soul Kings.
• Xiao Lin finished condensing the Fossil Soul Bone, clenched his fist to hide the marble-sized sphere, and pretended to be weak from spending too much soul power.
• Xiao Lin wondered whether the new Soul Bone was an External Soul Bone.

Xiao Lin learned that the ten-year finger bone was an external spirit bone with the Calmness skill, then decided to save it for Xiao Wu or Little San. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi planned to confront the Dai Family over Oscar’s capture and use the dispute to manage Xiao Lin.

• After his teammates left, Xiao Lin examined the tiny spirit bone and learned from the Ice Dragon King that its remnant soul had condensed it and that its skill was Calmness, which could grow stronger as the bone upgraded.
• Xiao Lin decided not to absorb the finger bone and considered giving it to Little San or Xiao Wu, but the Two Great Dragon Kings warned that creating another external spirit bone depended on luck.
• Xiao Lin left for the Library to research the Heaven Dou Empire’s geographical changes and planned to find Qian Renxue about Spirit Hall’s Special Books.
• Ning Fengzhi learned from Gu Rong that Dai Mubai had recruited Thousand Faces Guest, leading to Oscar’s capture, and concluded that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School could not yet kill the Star Luo prince.
• Ning Fengzhi sent Chen Xin to Star Luo City to demand an explanation from the Dai Family and asked Gu Rong to keep an eye on Xiao Lin while they dealt with Thousand Faces Guest.

Xiao Lin went to find Qian Renxue at Xue Qinghe's Mansion, where Thousand Faces Guest tried to lure him into an assassination. Xiao Lin saw through the disguise with Fiery Eyes of Truth, exposing Thousand Faces Guest as a Lizardman Soul Master.

• Xiao Lin left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed toward Xue Qinghe's Mansion in Heaven Dou City.
• Thousand Faces Guest disguised himself as a steward and claimed an urgent problem at the residence required the Crown Prince to go to the Imperial Palace.

• Thousand Faces Guest edged closer to Xiao Lin while trying to invent a convincing excuse, but Xiao Lin sensed something was wrong.

Xiao Lin killed Thousand Faces Guest in an ambush and looted his Storage Soul Tool. Gu Rong revealed that he had been following Xiao Lin and offered to take him as a disciple.

• Xiao Lin saw through Thousand Faces Guest's disguise with his Fiery Eyes of Truth and approached while preparing an attack.
• Thousand Faces Guest launched a Wind Blade as Xiao Lin unleashed his Soul Skills and struck first with the Imprisoning Dragon Staff.
• Gu Rong pulled Xiao Lin clear of the Wind Blade, and Xiao Lin said he had not been afraid of it.
• Xiao Lin searched Thousand Faces Guest's corpse, took his Storage Soul Tool, and asked Gu Rong whether he had been following him.
• Gu Rong said he had been following Xiao Lin and asked whether he wanted to become his disciple.

Xiao Lin refused Gu Rong’s offer to take him as a disciple and learned that Dai Mubai had arranged Thousand Faces Guest’s attack. Gu Rong planned to delay Xiao Lin’s revenge until after the Crown Prince Contest while the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School sought compensation from the Dai Family.

• Xiao Lin rejected Gu Rong’s offer after the Two Great Dragon Kings claimed they could teach him spatial techniques, and their talk of dimensional strikes inspired a dangerous move he hoped to develop later.
• Xiao Lin searched Thousand Faces Guest’s Storage Soul Tool and asked Gu Rong who had hired the assassin.
• Gu Rong revealed that Dai Mubai, the Star Luo Empire’s Third Prince, was the mastermind, and said the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was seeking compensation from the Dai Family.
• Xiao Lin agreed to wait until after the Crown Prince Contest to act against Dai Mubai, but worried that Dai Mubai might escape.
• Xiao Lin decided he would ask Little San to track Dai Mubai with the Blue Silver Domain if necessary.

Xiao Lin advised Qian Renxue on how to unify the continent without needlessly making the sects enemies. Qian Renxue then asked him to become the Sea God and kill Bibi Dong.

• Xiao Lin met Gu Rong, agreed to temporarily set aside his hatred toward Dai Mubai, and went to Xue Qinghe's Mansion.
• Qian Renxue told Xiao Lin that Pufferfish Douluo had handled the Lai Bing Gang matter and that her grandfather would send the requested thirty-thousand-year Soul Bones.
• Xiao Lin asked Qian Renxue for comprehensive geography books, and she offered to have Spirit Hall compile them.
• Qian Renxue asked Xiao Lin how to unify the continent without alienating the Three Upper Sects, and he urged her to win them over while focusing on the nobles of the Two Great Empires.
• Xiao Lin suggested establishing an academy to replace the sects' influence and rewarding useful forces by sending them to seek resources elsewhere.
• Qian Renxue asked Xiao Lin to become the Sea God and kill Bibi Dong.

Xiao Lin agreed to help Qian Renxue with her plans, though she mistook his awkward reaction to becoming the Sea God for proof that Grandmaster Xiao Yan had already inherited the Sea God's Divine Throne. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong learned that the Star Dou Great Forest might shelter a Plant-Type Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast powerful enough to evade her senses.

• Qian Renxue explained that Xiao Lin could take the Angel God Test and inherit the Sea God's Divine Throne to help defeat Bibi Dong, and Xiao Lin agreed to avoid raising her suspicions.
• Qian Renxue considered taking the Sea God's Trial herself but abandoned the idea because Bibi Dong's growing strength left her little time before her Divine Exam.
• Qian Renxue asked Xiao Lin to meet Xue Ke and help her become heir to the Heaven Dou Empire, and Xiao Lin agreed before returning to search the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Library for books about changes in the earth.
• In the Papal Hall, Yue Guan told Bibi Dong that he had sensed a Plant-Type Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, possibly over two hundred thousand years old, in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Bibi Dong realized that a powerful soul beast had escaped detection even though her Soul Power Level had reached ninety-nine.
