• Tang San met Tai Tan outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy and proved that he was Tang Hao's son with his father's letter.
• Tai Tan told Tang San that Tang Hao had fought three Titled Douluo shortly after becoming one, killing two, and warned him that his enemies were powerful.
• Tang San accepted Tai Tan's invitation and went to live with the Strength Clan, while a Titled Douluo watching from the shadows dismissed Tai Tan's ability to protect him.
• Kong returned to Heaven Dou City, changed clothes, and woke Dugu Yan, who guessed that they were going to see Zhu Zhuqing.
• Dugu Yan promised not to reveal Kong and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship and asked whether Kong would consider Ning Rongrong, but Kong left the matter to fate.

Kong visited Blue Tyrant Academy, where he reunited with Liu Erlong and met up with Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. He headed with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing toward the dormitories, explaining that he had come partly to help with their cultivation.

• Liu Erlong welcomed Kong and learned that Dugu Yan and Kong had become a couple.
• Kong teased Liu Erlong about being single and getting older, then left with Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Ning Rongrong proudly told Kong she had reached Level 34, while Zhu Zhuqing had reached Level 36.
• Ning Rongrong asked Kong about his Soul Power Level, and he said he was Level 86.
• Kong said he had come partly because Zhu Zhuqing was his woman and he wanted to help strengthen her; Ning Rongrong eagerly asked whether he would guide their cultivation.

Kong gave Ning Rongrong the Aromatic Silk Beauty to break the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s limits, then helped Zhu Zhuqing bloom and absorb Lovesick Heartbreak Red. After both women went to cultivate, Dugu Yan looked to Kong for her own gift, and he began to address what she could receive after reaching rank seventy.

• Kong gave Ning Rongrong the Aromatic Silk Beauty and explained that it could evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and improve her talent and soul skills.

• Kong gave Zhu Zhuqing Lovesick Heartbreak Red and told her to picture him and drip blood onto it to make it bloom.
• Zhu Zhuqing’s blood made Lovesick Heartbreak Red bloom, and Kong told her to swallow its petals and refine the flower before standing guard as she absorbed it.
• After Zhu Zhuqing left to cultivate, Dugu Yan looked expectantly at Kong, who began, “Sister Yan, once you break through to rank seventy...”

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing finished refining their immortal herbs, reaching level forty and gaining major changes to their abilities. After the two reunited with Kong, Zhu Zhuqing revealed that her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul had evolved into a humanoid form.

• Ning Rongrong awakened a nine-level Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and reached level forty, then imagined a future family with Kong.

• Zhu Zhuqing used Martial Soul Possession and revealed that her Hell Spirit Cat had evolved into a humanoid form with cat ears.
• Ning Rongrong exclaimed over Zhu Zhuqing's cute new appearance and reached out to touch her ears.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both reached level forty, and Kong prepared to help them obtain Soul Rings in Sunset Forest. Kong gave Zhu Zhuqing two Soul Bones, making Ning Rongrong increasingly suspicious of their relationship, before the group set out the next morning.

• Zhu Zhuqing revealed that her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul had changed and that she had reached the level-forty bottleneck.
• Kong determined that Zhu Zhuqing's physique could withstand a Soul Ring under 20,000 years old, but her spiritual power needed strengthening, so he gave her a high-quality Head Soul Bone.
• Kong also offered Zhu Zhuqing a 10,000 Year Agility Attack Type Soul Bone, and Ning Rongrong became convinced that Kong and Zhu Zhuqing were hiding a relationship from her.
• Kong, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and a fourth companion left Heaven Dou City for Sunset Forest the next morning.
• Ning Rongrong told Kong she planned to choose a defensive enhancement for her fourth Soul Ring, and Kong praised her maturity.

Kong found a roughly 4,800-year-old Dark Gold Bear for Ning Rongrong’s fourth soul ring, then knocked it unconscious with one punch. When Ning Rongrong could not pierce its hide, Kong handed her a hand grenade and explained how to use it, leaving her asking what came after pulling the pin.

• Kong sensed a creature approaching, and the group encountered a Dark Gold Bear in Sunset Forest.
• Kong estimated the bear was about 4,800 years old, and Ning Rongrong chose it for her fourth soul ring.
• The Dark Gold Bear attacked, but Kong knocked it unconscious with one punch.
• Ning Rongrong tried and failed to pierce the bear’s defense with her short sword.
• Kong gave Ning Rongrong a hand grenade and told her to pull the pin, and she asked what to do next.

Ning Rongrong accidentally set off Kong’s Hand Grenade, destroying the Dark Gold Bear and earning a Soul Ring she could absorb. After she and Zhu Zhuqing gained suitable Soul Rings in Sunset Forest, the group returned to Heaven Dou City, where She Long summoned Kong on behalf of the Young Sect Master.

• Ning Rongrong pulled the grenade’s ring before Kong finished explaining, so Kong hurriedly told her to throw it at the Dark Gold Bear and moved the group to safety.
• The grenade obliterated the area around the bear, leaving its Purple Soul Ring intact, and Ning Rongrong confirmed she could absorb it.
• Ning Rongrong spent over six hours absorbing the Soul Ring and rose to Soul Power Level forty-five.
• The group found a roughly 13,000-year-old Scorpion Tiger, which Kong subdued and Zhu Zhuqing killed before she began absorbing its Soul Ring.

Kong met Qian Renxue at the Crown Prince Residence, where she gave him the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as her dowry after explaining that Xue Ye had awarded it to him for his achievements. When the relic suddenly glowed in Kong’s hand, Poseidon recognized that the Sea God’s Heart had chosen a potential inheritor.

• She Long escorted Kong to Qian Renxue’s study, where she embraced him and laughed about Bibi Dong’s anger.

• Poseidon sensed the Sea God’s Heart activate, identified Kong as its chosen inheritor, and noticed Qian Renxue’s connection to the Angel God.

Kong rejected Poseidon’s offer to inherit the Sea God’s position, despite Poseidon’s divine soul insisting he was the perfect candidate. When Poseidon himself descended into the Sea God’s Heart, Kong questioned him about interfering with the Angel God’s trial and learned that Poseidon had supplied power to the Angel Statue.

• Poseidon’s waiting divine soul recognized Kong as an extraordinary candidate and told him to use his blood to claim the Sea God’s Heart.
• Kong refused the inheritance, and Poseidon’s divine soul tried to persuade him by explaining the Sea God’s legacy.
• Kong said he would never inherit Poseidon’s legacy because he resented Poseidon’s actions, leaving the divine soul confused.
• Poseidon descended into the Sea God’s Heart and asked Kong why he resented him, then explained that he had helped preserve the Angel God’s inheritance after She died.
• Kong questioned whether Poseidon had supplied the Angel trials’ rewards and asked what relationship Poseidon had with the Angel God.

Poseidon explained his past with the Angel God and why Deities passed down their divine positions, then tried to recruit Kong despite his refusal. Asura confronted Poseidon for violating the rules, and Poseidon backed down when challenged.

• Poseidon admitted that he had pursued the Angel God, but they had only been friends, and explained that he had returned her Godhood to Spirit Hall after her fall.
• Kong refused Poseidon's offer of inheritance and asked why Deities passed down their divine positions.
• Poseidon explained that divine positions bound Deities to the God Realm and had to be passed on if they wanted to leave.
• Asura entered Poseidon's hall and accused him of trying to lure another Deity's inheritor.
• Poseidon denied the accusation, then faltered and admitted he had misspoken when Asura pressed him.

Poseidon tried to recruit Kong as his inheritor, only to learn that Kong already belonged to Asura, and Kong later entered seclusion after spending the night with Qian Renxue. Three years passed, and Kong emerged at level 90 to find that he had become a legend.

• Poseidon offered to pass his divine position to Kong, but Asura revealed that Kong was already his inheritor, prompting Poseidon to demand his harpoon and challenge Asura.
• Kong stored the Sea God's Heart and told Qian Renxue that Poseidon's divine soul had offered him the Sea God's position.
• Qian Renxue said she would seek her ancestor's inheritance after handling matters in the Heaven Dou Empire, then invited Kong to the Secret Chamber to discuss a project.
• Kong left the Crown Prince Residence the next day, returned to the hotel, and began genuine secluded cultivation until he reached the Titled Douluo realm.
• Three years later, Kong reached level 90 and discovered that stories of his tournament victory had made him a legend.

After three years of secluded cultivation, Kong emerged at Level 99 with nine million-year soul rings and the Thunder God inheritance, then joined Qian Renxue as she prepared to force the emperor to abdicate. The chapter ended with Qian Renxue telling Kong her plan to act in two days.

• Kong emerged from seclusion at Level 99, having reached the peak of the Quasi God stage and received the Douluo Thunder God inheritance.

Tang San reached level sixty and went alone to Sunset Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring, where a mysterious Titled Douluo forced him to absorb a Ten-Year Soul Ring. Tang San completed the absorption but remained at level sixty, and the Black Robed Man still intended to make him absorb a second Ten-Year Soul Ring.

• After three years of growth, Tang San reached level sixty, and he refused Tai Tan’s offer to accompany him on a Soul Beast hunt.
• Tang San traveled alone to Sunset Forest, where he sensed danger and was confronted by a Black Robed Man.
• The Black Robed Man revealed nine Soul Rings and ordered Tang San to absorb two Ten-Year Wild Rabbits as his Sixth Soul Rings.
• Tang San killed one rabbit and absorbed its white Soul Ring, but he failed to advance from level sixty to level sixty-one.

Tang San absorbed a second Ten-Year Soul Ring for the Clear Sky Hammer, but his Soul Power remained at Level 60, and he guessed that the mysterious Black Robed Man was Ghost Douluo. Meanwhile, Kong endured Ei’s charred cooking and faced the prospect of her cooking for him again.

• Tang San killed the remaining Ten-Year Wild Rabbit and absorbed its Soul Ring, but his Soul Power did not rise beyond Level 60.
• The Black Robed Man disappeared before Tang San could ask his name, leaving Tang San to wonder where Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang had gone.
• Tang San concluded that the Black Robed Man was likely Ghost Douluo of Spirit Hall.
• Ei served Kong a blackened dish, and Kong praised its crunchy, coal-like taste to avoid hurting her feelings.
• Ei resolved to cook for Kong more often, and Kong spent the night regretting his praise.
• The next day, Qian Renxue noticed that Kong looked pale, while Kong claimed the problem had already been dealt with.
