Kong reassured Qian Renxue that he would not betray the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, prompting her to promise that Spirit Hall would not attack it while she lived. When Qian Renxue learned Kong’s first Soul Ring was 100,000 years old, she asked whether he was a God Inheritor, but he denied it and suggested she might inherit the Angel God’s position.

Kong and Qian Renxue grew closer as she opened up about her lonely years undercover in Heaven Dou City, and he agreed to travel the continent with her after her work was done. When Kong mentioned enduring “Poison Kun Soup,” Qian Renxue mistook it for a real threat and rushed to check on him.

• Kong assured Qian Renxue that he was immune to poison and that nobody from the clan had made him drink it.

Kong learned that Qian Renxue planned to kill Xue Beng and urged her to guard against Xue Ye's investigation, while their relationship grew closer. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San continued losing to the Royal Fight Team, leaving Yu Xiaogang unable to explain why.

• Qian Renxue told Kong she planned to make a move against Xue Beng, and Kong warned her to be careful of Xue Ye's investigation.
• Qian Renxue assured Kong she would leave no evidence, then kissed him; they later traveled to Heaven Dou City and parted.

• Yu Xiaogang recalled how the Golden Triangle had fallen apart after Liu Erlong learned the truth about their past.
• Tang San challenged the Royal Fight Team members except Ye Lingling and lost more often than he won.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned why Tang San struggled against the team's defense-type Soul Elders despite his third soul ring.

Tang San realized his Blue Silver Grass was losing its edge against opponents of the same level, and Yu Xiaogang told him to rely on his Clear Sky Hammer and endure until he became a Titled Douluo. Tang San questioned Yu Xiaogang’s old claim that there were no trash Martial Souls, leaving his teacher at a loss for words.

• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang that his Blue Silver Grass struggled against Soul Masters of the same level, and admitted he had refused Ma Hongjun’s sparring challenge.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that he had never expected much from Blue Silver Grass and that he and Tang Hao planned to make Tang San powerful through the Clear Sky Hammer, nine high-age soul rings, and its inherited techniques.
• Tang San grew confused when Yu Xiaogang contradicted his teaching that there were no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San to focus on raising his Soul Power and wait decades for his Blue Silver Grass to improve, while prioritizing the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang San protested that his Blue Silver Grass should still have hope, and Yu Xiaogang’s eye twitched as he struggled to answer.

Tang San accepted Yu Xiaogang’s advice and resolved to cultivate until he could surpass Yu Tiankong, while Kong realized he had forgotten something important after leaving Qian Renxue. The chapter ended with Kong remembering the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, also known as the Sea God’s Heart.

• Yu Xiaogang reassured Tang San that strengthening his Blue Silver Grass and raising his Soul Power could make Blue Silver Entanglement difficult to escape.
• Tang San rejected the idea that Yu Tiankong’s resource-driven path was sound and vowed to defeat him despite having been saved by him.
• Tang San returned to his dormitory and began cultivating, aiming to reach Level 40 before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
• The narration noted that Tang San lacked key advantages, including the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and its hundred-thousand-year soul bone, leaving his future prospects uncertain.
• After bidding Qian Renxue farewell, Kong tried to recall what he had forgotten and realized he was thinking of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Sea God’s Heart.

Kong resolved to claim the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and keep Poseidon’s inheritance from Tang San, while Poseidon wondered why his inheritance had found no successor. At Spirit Hall, Guimei’s investigation enraged Bibi Dong, and she opened a letter from Qian Renxue.

• Kong concluded that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud held Poseidon’s divine soul fragment and decided to take it for himself rather than let Tang San obtain it.
• Poseidon sneezed repeatedly, speculated that a whale might be cursing him, and wondered why the Sea God’s Heart had found no inheritor.
• Guimei reported his findings about Yu Xiaogang to Bibi Dong, then hurried away after hearing her furious roar.
• Bibi Dong vowed to punish Yu Xiaogang for deceiving her but held back because she needed to maintain the Rakshasa God Trial.
• Bibi Dong opened a letter from Qian Renxue and began reading her report about her work in Heaven Dou City.

After reading Qian Renxue’s letter about her relationship with Kong and his astonishing strength, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu each struggled to process the news. Bibi Dong planned to adjust her plans, while Qian Daoliu concluded Kong had received a divine inheritance and approved of him as a match for Qian Renxue.

• Bibi Dong read Qian Renxue’s letter and grew furious that her daughter had fallen for Kong, the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Bibi Dong learned that the thirteen-year-old Kong was a Soul Saint who had killed Tang Hao, and she questioned how he could possess a 100,000-year First Soul Ring.
• Bibi Dong realized Qian Renxue had informed rather than consulted her, then resolved to make slight changes to her plans and protect her daughter if Kong wronged her.
• Qian Daoliu read Qian Renxue’s description of Kong and suspected he had obtained a God Inheritance upon awakening his Martial Soul.
• Qian Daoliu inferred that Kong’s Divine Armor Form came from divine armor soul bones and decided Kong was a good match for Qian Renxue.

Kong cooked for Ei and the Shogun, then visited Heaven Dou City’s bookstores and encountered the Royal Fight Team returning from Soul Arena training. The team praised itself as the Most Hopeful Generation, while Kong privately doubted that claim.

• Qian Daoliu fell silent as he recalled the pain of failing to become a god and being rejected by the woman he loved.
• Kong reassured his chef that he was not dying, then insisted his cooking was meant only for his beloved; the chef took this as a lesson and resolved to become the greatest chef.
• Kong brought food to Ei and the Shogun in the Plane of Euthymia, promised to replenish their sweets and novels, and later left the chef to his newfound resolve.
• Kong visited Heaven Dou City’s bookstores and packed up their books before meeting Yu Tianheng, Ye Lingling, Yu Feng, and the Royal Fight Team after their Soul Arena training.
• Yu Feng and the team called themselves the Most Hopeful Generation, while Kong doubted their confidence and noted Yu Tianheng’s status as captain.

Kong encouraged the Royal Fight Team after their defeat and considered why Yu Yuanzhen had refused a powerful soul bone. He discovered that the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone could heal his injury, then went to the Plane of Euthymia to confront Baalzebul.

• Kong reflected that the Royal Fight Team had lost because of their Soul Power gap and that Dugu Yan might have helped them win if she had stayed.
• Kong learned that Dugu Bo had passed the soul bone Kong gave him to Dugu Yan, while Yu Yuanzhen had refused the Hundred Thousand Year Titan Giant Ape Right Arm Soul Bone because it was unlikely to help him advance.
• Kong returned to the hotel and realized that the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone might heal his injury.
• Kong absorbed the soul bone and found that its healing ability had restored him.
• Kong went to the Plane of Euthymia and challenged Baalzebul, declaring that one of them would die.

After absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year right leg bone, Kong reached Soul Power Level seventy-six and bought clothes for Ei Wife and the Shogun from Shui Ning Shuang. He then ran into Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who invited him to the Heaven Dou Auction House.

• Kong's Soul Power Level rose from seventy-third to seventy-sixth after he absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year right leg bone.
• Kong visited Shui Ning Shuang's clothing shop and bought more than twenty outfits for his wives at their normal price.
• Shui Ning Shuang thanked Kong for helping Shui Yue'er cultivate, but Kong said it had been an exchange between friends.
• Kong left the shop and ran into Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who invited him to visit the Heaven Dou Auction House.
• Kong accepted the invitation, and Ning Fengzhi mentioned that Rong Rong had chosen to cultivate instead of joining them.

Kong brought Ei to the Heaven Dou Auction House with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who were struck by her immense presence. The group arrived at the entrance, where the staff recognized Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

• Ning Fengzhi tested Kong's reaction while wondering whether Ning Rongrong's sudden dedication to cultivation came from feeling pressured by Kong.
• Kong invited Ei to join him at the auction house, and Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin agreed to wait for her.
• Kong returned with Ei, whose presence intimidated Chen Xin and impressed Ning Fengzhi, while Ei worried that the Shogun might retaliate by taking away her sweet treats.
• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin led Kong and Ei to the Heaven Dou Auction House, where staff recognized the two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect leaders.

Kong, Ei, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin entered the Heaven Dou Auction House, where Kong criticized its exploitation and observed its hierarchy. He then recognized Tang San and Yu Xiaogang arriving, both angry that Spirit Hall had stopped paying their soul master subsidies.

• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin led Kong and Ei past the auction house’s enslaved Reception Ladies, while Kong condemned the imperial family’s hypocrisy.
• A staff member offered the group Eye Masks, and Kong chose a purple one for Ei before questioning whether masks could conceal anyone’s identity.
• The group entered the white section of the auction hall, which required ten thousand Gold Soul Coins for admission, and waited for the auction to begin.
• Kong spotted Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, who had come to the auction house together after Xiao Wu disappeared.
• Tang San and Yu Xiaogang recalled that Spirit Hall had removed them from its records and cut off their soul master subsidies, and they resolved to seek revenge later.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang struggled without their Spirit Hall stipends, so Tang San put a hidden weapon up for auction to earn Gold Soul Coins. At the auction house, Kong identified Tang San as Tang Hao’s son, shocking Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who had seen Kong kill Tang Hao.

• Tang San and Yu Xiaogang realized they lacked the Gold Soul Coins needed for food and cultivation resources after Spirit Hall canceled their stipends.
• Tang San decided to auction a Sand-Spraying Shadow, keeping his more powerful hidden weapons out of the sale.
• Tang San and Yu Xiaogang arrived at the auction house and noticed Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Kong among the guests.
• Kong told Ning Fengzhi that Tang San was the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao and admitted he did not know Yu Xiaogang’s identity.
• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin fell silent because they had witnessed Kong kill Tang Hao, while Yu Xiaogang bristled at Kong’s dismissive introduction.

Tang San confronted Yu Tiankong to thank him for saving his life, but Yu Tiankong asked for the hidden weapon blueprints instead. Tang San refused to share the methods, and Ei considered how she could improve the weapons with better materials and enchantments.

• Tang San grew resentful that Yu Tiankong did not recognize him and envied Ei, who was in Yu Tiankong's arms.
• Tang San approached Yu Tiankong and thanked him for saving his life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Yu Tiankong asked Tang San for hidden weapons or their manufacturing methods as repayment for saving him.
• Tang San refused to share the methods but offered a set of hidden weapons, then regretted suggesting repayment.
• Yu Tiankong dismissed the favor as incidental, while Ei thought she could improve the hidden weapons with stronger materials and enchantments.

Tang San repaid Kong’s lifesaving favor with the blueprints and finished products for two hidden weapons, while Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin learned who Yu Xiaogang was. Ei quickly assessed the weapons’ designs, leaving Tang San stunned and Kong unimpressed by his offering.

• Tang San gave Kong the blueprints and finished products for the Silent Sleeve Arrow and Sand-Spraying Shadow to repay his favor without dishonoring his father, Tang Hao.
• Ning Fengzhi praised Tang San’s filial bearing, and Tang San learned that Ning Fengzhi was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s sect master and Chen Xin was its Grand Elder, the Sword Douluo.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Yu Xiaogang if they had met, but Yu Xiaogang called himself a rustic villager and avoided explaining who he was.
• Kong handed the blueprints to Ei, who quickly identified the hidden weapons’ strengths and weaknesses and compared their power unfavorably with the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
• Tang San was stunned by Ei’s understanding, while Kong called the two weapons junk and questioned whether Tang San had repaid him sincerely.

Tang San offered the blueprints for the Wrath of the Buddha Lotus to repay his debt to Kong, insisting the weapon could kill a Soul Douluo and injure a Titled Douluo. Kong accepted them and handed them to Ei to examine, while Tang San remained convinced they would never be able to make it.

• Ning Fengzhi praised Tang Hao’s upright character to make Tang San feel ashamed about offering Kong inferior hidden weapons.
• Yu Xiaogang joined Ning Fengzhi in praising Tang Hao, leaving Tang San embarrassed and unable to refute them.
• Kong criticized Tang San indirectly, and Tang San angrily challenged Kong to prove he could make a powerful hidden weapon.
• Tang San produced the Wrath of the Buddha Lotus blueprints and swore they were his most powerful hidden weapon designs.
• Kong accepted the blueprints and passed them to Ei, who immediately began examining them.

Ei recognized gunpowder as the real source of the Wrath of the Buddha Lotus’s power and left to research it, while her ability to tear open space terrified Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang. The auction began with Sand-Spraying Shadow, which Ning Fengzhi recognized as the weapon Kong had dismissed as junk.

• Ei concluded that gunpowder explosions powered the Wrath of the Buddha Lotus and decided to study gunpowder in the Plane of Euthymia.
• Ei opened a doorway through space and vanished, leaving Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang stunned by her power.
• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin feared for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s future, while Tang San worried Ei might succeed in making the Wrath of the Buddha Lotus.
• The auction began, and its first item was Sand-Spraying Shadow, prompting Ning Fengzhi to ask whether it was the weapon Kong had called junk.
