Chapter Summaries

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu fought the Blue Sunshine Academy group after a confrontation at an inn, while Kong stopped the conflict from disturbing his meal by invoking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The two groups moved outside, where Ye Zhiqiu finally lost patience and prepared to attack.

• Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu overwhelmed the Blue Sunshine Academy students in a fistfight, with Tang San dislocating several opponents’ arms.
• Ye Zhiqiu introduced himself and demanded to know which sect the three belonged to, but Dai Mubai said they were from Shrek Academy and dismissed him.
• Kong told everyone to give the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan face and take their fight outside, prompting both groups to leave the inn quietly.
• The innkeeper thanked Kong, who refused payment, while the two groups gathered in an open area away from the inn.
• Xiao Wu insulted Ye Zhiqiu by calling him a turtle, and Ye Zhiqiu erupted with his Soul King aura and used Martial Soul Possession.

Dai Mubai and Tang San fought Ye Zhiqiu while Flender confronted Shi Nian over their students’ clash. Kong arrived and ordered two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders to detain Flender and Shi Nian, then led them away to talk.

• Ye Zhiqiu released his five soul rings and prepared to fight Dai Mubai and Tang San, while Dai Mubai mocked his Soul King rank and Tang San warned that Ye Zhiqiu was a defense-type Soul King.
• Flender confronted Shi Nian, who blamed Dai Mubai and the others for provoking Ye Zhiqiu and insisted that the strong could not be insulted.
• Kong arrived and praised the argument as Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others began fighting Ye Zhiqiu nearby.
• Kong told Flender and Shi Nian that neither could leave, and Yu Yuanyuan and Yu Longwu surrounded them at his command.
• Flender and Shi Nian realized they could not escape the two Soul Douluo elders and reluctantly followed Kong away from the fight.

Kong confronted Shi Nian in an open area and demanded the Head Soul Bone Shi Nian had absorbed. After Shi Nian died and Kong secured the bone, Flender tried to persuade Kong and the elders to spare him by invoking his ties to Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

• Kong told Shi Nian he wanted to borrow something, and Shi Nian realized Kong was after his Head Soul Bone.
• Shi Nian asked Kong to spare his disciples, then severed his own heart meridian and collapsed.
• Kong poured water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well over Shi Nian, leaving only a seven-colored Head Soul Bone, which Kong stored away.
• Kong turned to the frightened Flender, who swore not to reveal what happened and cited his friendship with Yu Xiaogang.
• Flender corrected himself and claimed to be Liu Erlong's sworn elder brother, prompting the three Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members to recognize her.

After killing Shi Nian, Kong questioned whether taking his Soul Bone had been excessive, then decided he already knew the answer and considered how to use the rare prize to strengthen Yu Yuanzhen. Meanwhile, Flender realized Tang San and the others were in danger against a Soul King and rushed back, where he found them battered and Tang San still fighting Ye Zhiqiu.

• Kong asked Yu Yuanyuan and Yu Longwu whether killing Shi Nian over his Soul Bone had gone too far, then said he already had his answer and returned to the inn.
• Kong considered trading Shi Nian's rare Head Soul Bone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a powerful Soul Bone that could help Yu Yuanzhen.
• Flender wondered why Kong's group had spared him, then remembered Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai were facing a Soul King and hurried back.
• Kong returned to find Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu beaten and drained of Soul Power while Tang San struggled against Ye Zhiqiu.
• Tang San, enraged that Ye Zhiqiu had injured Xiao Wu, declared that Ye Zhiqiu had brought death upon himself.

Kong used the Crystal Slab to reveal Dragon Beard Needles, prompting Tang San to urgently seek a trade before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could learn their value. Kong hinted that he knew Tang Hao, but Tang Hao secretly stopped him from revealing more, leaving Tang San confused as the deal began.

• Kong crushed the Crystal Slab and demonstrated that its Golden Particles turned into needles when infused with Soul Power.
• Tang San realized Kong had recognized the Dragon Beard Needles and called out to trade for them.
• Kong said he would consider a deal for Tang San's father's sake, while Tang Hao watched from hiding and questioned the claim.
• Kong gave Ye Zhiqiu a look, and Ye Zhiqiu understood that he should leave with the injured members of Blue Sunshine Academy.
• Kong began telling Tang San that he knew Tang Hao, but Tang Hao sent a secret warning that stopped him from revealing his identity.
• Kong told Tang San to ask his father about it and returned the conversation to their deal.

Tang San negotiated with Kong for the Dragon Beard Needles, offering the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and its manufacturing blueprints. After Kong demanded proof that the blueprints were complete, Tang San swore upon his martial soul that they were genuine.

• Tang San asked Kong to trade his golden particles, and Kong insisted they were too rare to exchange for Gold Soul Coins.
• Tang San offered hidden weapons, but Kong demanded the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and its manufacturing method rather than ordinary weapons.
• Tang San weighed the value of the Dragon Beard Needles against the risk of giving away the crossbow blueprints.
• Tang San offered one Godly Zhuge Crossbow and its blueprints in exchange for the hair crystals.
• Kong demanded that Tang San swear the blueprints were genuine, so Tang San produced another copy and swore upon his martial soul.

Kong traded about a hundred Hair Crystals for Tang San’s Godly Zhuge Crossbow and its blueprint, leaving Tang San resentful but accepting the deal. Flender suspected Kong had orchestrated the events to secure the weapon, while the chapter ended as night fell in the Plane of Euthymia.

• Kong gave Tang San about a hundred Hair Crystals for the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and its blueprint, despite Tang San’s expectation of receiving all the crystals.
• Tang San accepted the trade, helped the injured Xiao Wu up, and left Dai Mubai for Oscar to assist.
• Kong put away the crossbow and blueprint, pleased that he had obtained them for so few Hair Crystals.
• Flender realized the Hair Crystal was valuable and suspected Kong had planned the events around Shi Nian, Ye Zhiqiu, and Tang San to get the crossbow.
• Night fell, and the story shifted to the Plane of Euthymia.

Kong struggled through the morning after spending the night with Ei, then traveled with Dugu Yan toward the Star Dou Great Forest. Meanwhile, Flender’s group entered the forest, where Xiao Wu secretly tried to summon Er Ming or Da Ming while Tang Hao watched.

• Raiden Shogun saw through Kong’s excuse, returned to his body, and Kong carried Ei to a nearby cabin.
• The next morning, Kong leaned against a wall while Dugu Yan questioned his condition, and he insisted on continuing toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Flender led Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others into the forest and warned them to stay close.
• Xiao Wu decided to leave Tang San and return to the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region, reflecting on the dangers of the human world.
• Xiao Wu released her aura to attract Er Ming or Da Ming, while Tang Hao noticed and chose to observe what the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit would summon.

Tang Hao planned to use his knowledge of other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to lure them into sacrificing themselves, while the group entered the Star Dou Great Forest. After Tang San pointed out that a snake-type soul beast’s skeleton had been damaged by a sharp weapon, Flender asked what that proved.

• Tang Hao decided to wait for the group’s “children of destiny” to lead him toward the Man Faced Demon Spider.
• Xiao Wu challenged Kong and Dugu Yan’s presence in the forest, and Dugu Yan retorted that they were stronger than Flender’s group.
• Kong led Dugu Yan away from the others and hinted that they might witness a good show.
• Flender’s group reached the forest’s outskirts, where Flender explained the soul beast regions and identified a skeleton as a snake-type soul beast that had died the previous day.
• Tang San pointed out weapon damage on the skeleton and concluded that a soul master had killed the beast, prompting Flender to ask, “And then?”

Kong recognized the serpent skeleton as likely belonging to the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Serpent as Flender discussed Oscar’s third soul ring and the group searched for suitable beasts. The hunt’s moral argument unsettled Xiao Wu, while Dai Mubai echoed Tang San’s justification for hunting soul beasts.

• Kong examined the serpent skeleton and identified it as likely being the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Serpent that had been Oscar’s original target.
• Oscar told Flender that Shao Xin had recommended an enhancement or berserk ability for his third soul ring, and Tang San named several beasts that might grant one.
• Flender explained that Tang San’s teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was a renowned researcher of martial souls and soul beasts.
• Tang San announced that he had reached level thirty after battling a Soul King and needed a soul ring.
• Xiao Wu asked whether soul beasts had to be killed, and Tang San justified hunting them by saying they had killed humans and launched beast tides.
• Dai Mubai invoked the Star Luo Empire’s fallen soldiers to defend hunting soul beasts, leaving Xiao Wu stunned by the group’s attitude.

Tang San called a thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit evil and helped target it as Oscar’s potential soul ring, while Xiao Wu recognized it as one of her own kind. Flender knocked the rabbit unconscious despite Xiao Wu’s plea, leaving her in tears and questioning Tang San’s view of soul beasts.

• Tang San reassured Xiao Wu that he would hunt only evil soul beasts, then labeled an approaching Soft Bone Rabbit evil and attacked it with Blue Silver Entanglement.
• The Soft Bone Rabbit chewed through Tang San’s grass bindings and lunged toward Xiao Wu, while Flender asked Oscar whether he wanted it as a soul ring.
• Oscar chose the Soft Bone Rabbit, and Flender approached it to strike.
• Xiao Wu shouted for Flender to stop, but he knocked the rabbit unconscious with an eagle-claw strike.
• Xiao Wu ran to the fallen rabbit in tears and blamed herself for its injury.

Tang San and the Shrek group debated killing a wounded Soft Bone Rabbit after Xiao Wu pleaded for its life, while Kong revealed it might possess a Head Soul Bone. The group chose to let Oscar kill it, and Xiao Wu walked away warning them they would regret it.

• Xiao Wu shielded the wounded Soft Bone Rabbit and begged Tang San and Flender not to hurt it.
• Flender said the rabbit would die within two hours, while Tang San struggled between supporting Oscar's soul-ring hunt and Xiao Wu's plea.
• Kong announced that the rabbit likely had a thousand-year Head Soul Bone and displayed Shi Nian's Head Soul Bone when Tang San questioned him.
• Tang San urged Xiao Wu to let Oscar kill the rabbit so its soul ring and soul bone could benefit two people.
• Xiao Wu stepped away from the rabbit, gave Tang San, Flender, Dai Mubai, and Oscar a cold look, and warned, "You'll definitely regret this!"

Oscar absorbed the Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit's soul ring and reached level thirty-one, while Kong's knowledge that it carried a Head Soul Bone left everyone wondering. As Flender asked Tang San about his third soul ring, the ground began to shake.

• Oscar killed the Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit and found that it possessed a Head Soul Bone, which Flender stored for later distribution.
• Kong explained that he had identified the Soul Bone through the rabbit's intense resentment, leaving Xiao Wu stricken with guilt.
• Oscar absorbed the rabbit's soul ring and broke through to level thirty-one, though no one asked about his new soul skill.
• Flender asked Tang San about his third soul ring, and Tang San said he wanted to hear Yu Xiaogang's advice about choosing a Mandala Snake or another suitable Soul Beast.
• The ground began to shake as Flender and Tang San discussed Tang San's options.

Xiao Wu summoned Da Ming and Er Ming to avenge the Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit, while Tang Hao watched from hiding and weighed whether to take her away. As the Titan Giant Ape approached Flender’s group, it unexpectedly stepped toward Tang San.

• Kong took Dugu Yan and retreated more than three hundred meters from the others.
• Flender tried to flee with Oscar and Dai Mubai, but Er Ming’s Gravity Domain slammed them to the ground and badly injured Oscar.
• Tang Hao considered taking Xiao Wu away or persuading Da Ming and Er Ming to sacrifice themselves for Tang San, but decided to watch for the moment.
• Da Ming and Er Ming arrived, and Xiao Wu ordered them to kill Flender and the others to avenge the Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit.
• Er Ming carried Xiao Wu toward Flender’s group as Da Ming silently watched for Tang Hao to act.
• Er Ming stepped toward Tang San, leaving him terrified as the giant foot came down toward him.

Tang Hao revealed himself to save Tang San from the Titan Giant Ape, but Xiao Wu exposed his past intentions and turned the Beast Kings against him. As Tang Hao fought the two powerful soul beasts while injured, Tang San faced a Man Faced Demon Spider approaching from behind.

• Tang Hao appeared with nine soul rings, including a 100,000 Year Soul Ring, and rescued Tang San from the Titan Giant Ape.
• Xiao Wu recognized Tang Hao as Tang San’s father and accused him of intending to kill her, prompting the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python to attack him.
• Flender led Oscar and Dai Mubai away from the fighting, while Dugu Yan and Kong watched from a distant tree.
• Tang Hao tried to explain that he had protected Xiao Wu, but the Beast Kings continued attacking; he realized his injuries left him at risk of dying in the battle.
• Tang San retreated from the battlefield, then sensed a Man Faced Demon Spider behind him and used Blue Silver Entanglement without turning around.

Tang Hao fought the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, using Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer as his old injuries worsened. Kong and the Yu elders considered taking advantage if Tang Hao fell, while Tang San attacked a Man Faced Demon Spider with a spare Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

• The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape attacked Tang Hao to avenge Xiao Wu.
• Tang Hao detonated his first and second soul rings and used the Great Sumeru Hammer, briefly matching the Titan Giant Ape's strength.
• Tang Hao detonated four more soul rings as his old injuries flared, and Kong speculated that he might die in the fight.
• Yu Longwu and Yu Yuanyuan considered killing Tang Hao if the beast kings left him near death, while Kong did not stop them.
• Kong realized Tang San had a spare Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and Tang San fired sixteen bolts at the bound Man Faced Demon Spider.

Tang San battled a Man Faced Demon Spider that was far older than he could safely defeat, while Kong left his companions to intervene. Kong killed the spider just as Tang San exposed its weakness, and Tang San thanked him without understanding what he might have lost.

• Tang San realized the Man Faced Demon Spider was over two thousand years old and that its venom had corroded his Blue Silver Grass.
• Kong told Yu Yuanyuan, Yu Longwu, and Dugu Yan he would save Tang Hao's son, then ran toward Tang San.
• Tang San used Parasitism and the Clear Sky Hammer to stun the spider, then bound it and exposed its weakness with the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
• Yu Longwu, Yu Yuanyuan, and Dugu Yan saw Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer and considered him a threat because he possessed Twin Martial Souls.
• Kong cut the Man Faced Demon Spider in half with purple lightning before Tang San could shoot it, then asked if Tang San was all right.
• Tang San thanked Kong, confused about why he had intervened.

Kong claimed the Man Faced Demon Spider’s Eight Spider Lances for Ei Wife and told Tang San he was immune to all poisons, making Tang San suspect he was the Tang Sect’s nemesis. He explained that Tang Hao’s clan could not take on the two powerful soul beasts and revealed that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

• Kong touched the Man Faced Demon Spider’s legs, and Ei Wife absorbed its External Soul Bone for him.
• Kong told Tang San he was immune to all poisons, and Tang San wondered whether he was Tang San’s nemesis.
• Tang San asked Kong to have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan help Tang Hao, but Kong explained that the two beast kings were too powerful for the elders to fight.
• Kong told Tang San that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who could provide a 100,000 Year Soul Ring and a soul bone if killed.

Kong convinced Tang San that Xiao Wu deserved to die and collected the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse before leaving him. Tang San killed a Mandala Snake, found a Torso Soul Bone inside it, and wondered whether Kong had collected the spider for the same reason.

• Kong told Tang San that Xiao Wu was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who could yield a 100,000 Year Soul Ring and soul bone, and Tang San used her attack on Tang Hao to justify killing her.
• Tang San watched Kong collect the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse, then let him leave without asking for its venom.
• Tang San encountered and killed a roughly 1,200-year-old Mandala Snake, deciding to use its Soul Ring despite its low age.
• Tang San found a Torso Soul Bone inside the Mandala Snake, hid it and the corpse, and wondered if Kong had collected the spider because it also held a soul bone.

Tang Hao fought the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python while Tang San absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring and chose not to absorb its torso soul bone. After Tang Hao escaped, the Sky Azure Bull Python mistook Kong’s warning about Tang San for a plot to provoke a deadly fight.

• Tang San decided to keep the torso soul bone unabsorbed while he absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring.
• Tang Hao detonated his seventh and eighth soul rings, struck the Titan Giant Ape, and used the clash to flee.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python stopped the injured Titan Giant Ape from pursuing Tang Hao, and Kong rejected Yu Longwu’s offer to chase him.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python confronted Kong’s group, and Kong pointed out Tang San absorbing a soul ring nearby.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python accused Kong of scheming to make it kill Tang San and provoke Tang Hao into fighting the beasts again.
