Chapter Summaries

After dying from an astonishingly lucky Genshin pull, Yu Tiankong was reborn in Douluo Continent and raised by Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. On the eve of his Martial Soul awakening, he entered the clan’s Awakening Hall determined to repay Yu Yuanzhen and see what power he would receive.

• Yu Yuanzhen declared Yu Tiankong the Young Sect Master and ordered the clan to treat any disrespect toward him as treason.
• Yu Yuanzhen took Yu Tiankong away from the clan and offered to accompany him on a trip to hunt soul beasts.
• Yu Yuanzhen chose Sunset Forest over a Soul Hunting Forest, and he and Yu Tiankong traveled there on foot for more than half a month.

In Sunset Forest, Yu Yuanzhen found a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and Kong considered taking its powerful Soul Ring despite the danger.

• A yellow soul ring tinged with purple appeared above the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear’s corpse.

Yu Yuanzhen and Kong met Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Ning Rongrong in Heaven Dou City, but Ning Fengzhi’s careless wish to have an adopted son like Kong angered Yu Yuanzhen.

Worried about protecting his granddaughter Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo agreed to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan if Yu Yuanzhen could cure him, and Yu Yuanzhen asked to visit Dugu Bo’s Treasure Land.

• Dugu Bo worried that his worsening poison would keep him from protecting Dugu Yan.

Kong searched the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for immortal herbs suited to Yu Yuanzhen, then explained ways to treat Dugu Bo’s Martial Soul Poison. He left Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo gathered around the golden fruits he unearthed beneath the Earth Dragon Golden Melon vine.

• Kong identified several immortal herbs, including the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb, as suitable for Yu Yuanzhen.
• Kong told Dugu Bo that herbs from the Ice Spring and Fire Spring could help draw poison into soul bones, though Dugu Bo would only live a few more decades without pain.

Kong gave Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo Earth Dragon Golden Melons to strengthen their dragon bloodlines and cure their Martial Soul Poison, and Dugu Bo handed Kong ownership of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Yu Yuanzhen opened his eyes after refining two immortal herbs and discovered he had reached Level 97 Peak, with his bloodline power greatly strengthened.
