Chapter Summaries

Gu Han agreed to examine Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul Luo Sanpao, privately intending to make the Grandmaster suffer rather than sincerely help him. At the Martial Soul Experiment Hall, Gu Han asked Yu Xiaogang to feed Luo Sanpao Light Attribute dragon flesh, leaving Yu Xiaogang reluctant and Tang San green at the thought of the consequences.

• Bibi Dong asked whether Gu Han could solve Yu Xiaogang’s martial soul evolution problem, and Gu Han said he would need to study Luo Sanpao and could not guarantee success.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to cooperate, and Bibi Dong sent him and Gu Han to the Martial Soul Experiment Hall.

• Gu Han inspected Luo Sanpao and asked Yu Xiaogang to feed it Light Attribute dragon flesh.
• Yu Xiaogang said Luo Sanpao could not digest the flesh, and Tang San’s face turned green as he imagined what might happen.

Gu Han tested whether Yu Xiaogang’s Luo Sanpao could digest Light Attribute Dragon Soul Beast flesh, only for it to suffer a violent digestive conflict. He escaped the resulting mess while Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were drenched, leaving Gu Han amused by their misery.

• Gu Han persuaded Yu Xiaogang to feed Light Attribute Dragon Soul Beast flesh to Luo Sanpao so he could observe its reaction.
• Yu Xiaogang fed Luo Sanpao the flesh, and Tang San retreated behind Gu Han as Luo Sanpao swallowed it.
• Luo Sanpao developed a painful conflict between its Light and Lightning Attributes, and Yu Xiaogang explained that it could barely absorb any Soul Power.
• Luo Sanpao unleashed a massive, foul-smelling spray throughout the great hall, and Gu Han escaped behind a golden barrier and his Ice Domain.
• Gu Han iced the floor, causing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang to slip and get drenched in Luo Sanpao’s spray, while he watched with amusement from outside.

Gu Han watched the cleanup after Luo Sanpao’s disastrous reaction, then mocked Tang San and Yu Xiaogang before agreeing to continue helping with Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul Evolution problem the next day. Rather than return to Spirit City, he slipped into Douluo Hall’s Worship Hall and used his Spiritual Power to locate Qian Daoliu in the Angel Temple, alerting him to Gu Han’s presence.

• Gu Han entered the hall after Luo Sanpao’s explosions stopped and laughed at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang as they lay covered in foul green sludge.
• Tang San grew resentful of Gu Han and formed killing intent, but restrained himself because Yu Xiaogang still needed Gu Han’s help.
• Gu Han claimed his Soul Skills had accidentally frozen the floor and caused their fall, then Yu Xiaogang explained away his unusually sharp voice as a sore throat.
• Gu Han and the others ended the attempt to examine Luo Sanpao, and Gu Han agreed to help Yu Xiaogang again the next day before leaving the Pope’s Palace.
• Gu Han entered the Worship Hall, used his Spiritual Power to find Qian Daoliu in the Angel Temple, and Qian Daoliu detected him and demanded to know who was there.

Gu Han returned to Spirit City, reassured Qian Daoliu that he could protect himself from Bibi Dong, and brought Pills for the Enforcers. Qian Daoliu accepted him as family and asked him to call him Grandpa as the other Enforcers gathered at the Angel Temple.

• Gu Han told Qian Daoliu that he had reached Soul Saint and brought Pills that could evolve Martial Souls and increase cultivation for the Enforcers.
• Qian Daoliu warned Gu Han not to underestimate Bibi Dong, but Gu Han said he had powerful ways to protect himself and escape.

• Bibi Dong sensed the successive breakthroughs from Douluo Hall and rose in shock.

Gu Han helped the Douluo Hall’s six Enforcers break through and evolve their Martial Souls, then visited Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to fulfill an old promise by bringing Martial Soul Evolution Pills. Yue Guan warned him that the Pope’s summons could put him in danger, but Gu Han revealed he had come to deliver the pills.

• Bibi Dong sensed the Enforcers’ successive breakthroughs and ordered a Red-Robed Archpriest to investigate.

• Yue Guan went to prepare food while Gu Han chatted with Gui Mei and began planning to bring both men to his side.

Gu Han warned Ghost Douluo that Spirit Hall would likely split between Douluo Hall and the Pope's Palace after uniting the continent, then revealed his ties to Qian Renxue and explained why he feared Bibi Dong. He left Ghost Douluo convinced that Gu Han had reason to protect himself from his teacher, who might take credit for his discoveries and kill him.

• Gu Han asked Ghost Douluo what would happen to Spirit Hall after it united the continent and predicted a conflict between Douluo Hall and the Pope's Palace.
• Ghost Douluo judged that Douluo Hall would likely win because its enforcers were stronger and Qian Renxue was carrying out the Usurpation Plan.
• Gu Han revealed that he had given martial-soul-evolving pills to Douluo Hall's enforcers and had long been in love with Qian Renxue, with Qian Daoliu's approval.
• Gu Han told Ghost Douluo that he could no longer trust Bibi Dong and explained that she had favored Yu Xiaogang, withheld Gu Han's cultivation resources, and concealed news of his Golden Sacred Dragon evolution.
• Gu Han warned that Bibi Dong might claim he had discovered martial-soul evolution on Yu Xiaogang's behalf, leaving Gu Han at risk of being killed.

• Gu Han told Ghost Douluo that he had reached Soul Saint and could protect himself against a Titled Douluo.
• After Ghost Douluo informed Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Gu Han proposed that both Douluo secretly report on Pope's Palace to Douluo Hall, and they agreed.
• Gu Han spent the evening discussing their plans with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, then stayed at a hotel in Spirit City.
• The next morning, Gu Han told Hu Liena and the other two that he had taught Yu Xiaogang and Tang San a lesson, then asked Bibi Dong for money to buy medicinal ingredients.
• Bibi Dong gave Gu Han a Soul Crystal Card with a one-million limit, and he went to a pharmacy to request specially prepared Ren Zhong Huang, Ye Ming Sha, and Wang Yue Sha.

Gu Han prepared bizarre, dung-based medicinal ingredients and brought two concoctions to treat Yu Xiaogang and Luo Sanpao’s supposed indigestion. He presented the treatment at the experimental hall, leaving Yu Xiaogang and Tang San confused about what he intended to do.

• Gu Han ordered pharmacies to prepare unusually fresh animal droppings and other ingredients, paying ten times the price to get them that afternoon.
• Gu Han collected the ingredients, processed them in a decoction room, and went to Pope’s Palace to meet Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
• Yu Xiaogang asked whether Gu Han had found a solution to his martial soul evolution problem, and Gu Han said he had only found possible approaches that required testing.
• Gu Han took Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to the experimental hall and asked Yu Xiaogang to summon Luo Sanpao.
• Gu Han showed them two tubes of thick, dark medicine and claimed they were remedies for Yu Xiaogang’s and Luo Sanpao’s indigestion.

Gu Han convinced Yu Xiaogang that Luo Sanpao's indigestion could be treated as an illness and gave him foul-smelling medicine made partly from excrement. After Tang San confirmed the ingredients could aid digestion, Yu Xiaogang steeled himself to drink it for the chance to evolve Luo Sanpao.

• Yu Xiaogang and Tang San accepted Gu Han's argument that a Martial Soul could be treated for illness, and Yu Xiaogang took the medicine.
• Gu Han said Yu Xiaogang and Luo Sanpao needed treatment together, then Yu Xiaogang opened a vial and recoiled from its stench.
• Tang San explained that Ren Zhong Huang, Ye Ming Sha, and Wang Yue Sha were made from human waste, bat droppings, and rabbit droppings.
• Gu Han insisted the ingredients could treat indigestion, and Tang San confirmed that they could.
• Yu Xiaogang resolved to endure the medicine for Luo Sanpao's evolution and raised the vial, declaring, "Brothers, bottoms up!"

Gu Han pushed Yu Xiaogang to drink a series of foul medicines, claiming they would help Luo Sanpao's indigestion and attribute conflict so his Martial Soul could evolve. Yu Xiaogang kept forcing them down for the sake of his hopes, but the chapter ended with him breaking down and unable to eat any more.

• Yu Xiaogang swallowed the first foul medicine while suppressing his urge to vomit, then Gu Han stopped him from drinking more water and said the treatment was not finished.
• Yu Xiaogang dragged the terrified Luo Sanpao over and made him drink the other vial as Tang San watched.
• Gu Han handed Yu Xiaogang another pair of medicines and listed ingredients including Child's Urine and golden liquid; Tang San confirmed they could be used medicinally.
• Gu Han gave Yu Xiaogang more encouragement, and Yu Xiaogang drank additional foul vials and swallowed medicinal pastes.
• After enduring the medicines, Yu Xiaogang broke down in tears and cried that he could not eat another bite.

Gu Han’s deliberately harmful treatments left Yu Xiaogang tormented and near death without improving Luo Sanpao’s Martial Soul. Meanwhile, Xie Yue and Yan rapidly reached rank fifty, prompting Bibi Dong to suspect Gu Han’s involvement and summon them with Hu Liena to Pope’s Palace.

• Yu Xiaogang vomited up his medicine and fainted, then endured months of Gu Han’s fruitless and increasingly dangerous treatments.
• Gu Han tried acupuncture and potions with metal, fire, and earth attributes, nearly poisoning, burning, or suffocating Yu Xiaogang.

• Bibi Dong learned of their sudden breakthroughs and connected them to Gu Han and the recent advances among Douluo Hall’s worshippers.
• Bibi Dong ordered Sacred Emperor Warriors to bring Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan to Pope’s Palace so she could question them.

Bibi Dong summoned Xie Yue and Yan to discover how they had rapidly advanced, then imprisoned and tortured them when they refused to explain. She hypnotized a weakened Yan and learned that Gu Han had given them Pills made from Immortal Herbs that could increase cultivation and cause Martial Soul Evolution.

• Bibi Dong confronted Xie Yue and Yan about reaching level fifty and suspected Gu Han had helped them.
• When Xie Yue and Yan denied knowing anything, Bibi Dong bound them and forced Hu Liena out of the hall, warning her to keep silent.
• Bibi Dong imprisoned Xie Yue and Yan in separate secret rooms and tried to get Xie Yue to reveal Gu Han's secret, but he refused.
• Bibi Dong threatened Yan, then tortured him after he also refused to betray Gu Han.
• Bibi Dong hypnotized the weakened Yan and learned that Gu Han's Pills could greatly boost cultivation and cause Martial Soul Evolution, giving her hope for Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong learned that Gu Han had given Immortal Herbs and pills to Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, and tried to use her authority as his teacher to demand the rest. Gu Han offered to give her a suitable herb, but Bibi Dong insisted that he hand over all the remaining Immortal Herbs.

• Bibi Dong resolved to obtain an Immortal Herb or pill from Gu Han to help Yu Xiaogang evolve his Martial Soul.
• Gu Han went to the Pope's Palace to treat Yu Xiaogang, but Bibi Dong summoned him before Yu Xiaogang and Tang San arrived.
• Bibi Dong told Gu Han that Xie Yue and Yan had broken through to rank fifty, then accused him of hiding his fortuitous opportunity from Spirit Hall.
• Gu Han said he had used most of the opportunity and prepared several Immortal Herbs for Bibi Dong, though he had not chosen which one suited her.
• Bibi Dong invoked Spirit Hall's support and her role as Gu Han's teacher, demanding that he hand over all his remaining Immortal Herbs.

Gu Han refused Bibi Dong’s attempt to claim his Immortal Herbs, arguing that he had already shared them with Spirit Hall members and owed the Pope only one herb for her past support. He gave her the Seven Absolutes Flower, which could evolve a Martial Soul, while Bibi Dong eagerly planned to use it to help Yu Xiaogang.

• Gu Han told Bibi Dong that Spirit Hall’s support did not entitle her to his Immortal Herbs and reminded her that he had shared opportunities with other Hall members.
• Bibi Dong considered taking Gu Han’s herbs by force but backed down after sensing Qian Daoliu secretly protecting him.
• Bibi Dong demanded one Immortal Herb capable of evolving a Martial Soul as repayment for her past kindness to Gu Han.
• Gu Han handed Bibi Dong the Seven Absolutes Flower and warned her to give it to Spirit Hall rather than someone else.
• Bibi Dong dismissed Gu Han and excitedly planned to give the flower to Yu Xiaogang to solve his Martial Soul problem.

Bibi Dong told Yu Xiaogang and Tang San that Gu Han had withheld Immortal Herbs, driving Yu Xiaogang into a fury over his months of needless suffering. She then gave Yu Xiaogang the Seven Absolutes Flower, which she believed could evolve Luo Sanpao into the Golden Sacred Dragon.

• Bibi Dong summoned Yu Xiaogang and Tang San and accused Gu Han of concealing Immortal Herbs and refusing to share them with her.
• Tang San learned that Gu Han had given Immortal Herbs and Pills to others, and he joined Bibi Dong in condemning Gu Han.
• Yu Xiaogang realized Gu Han’s remedies and ordeals might have been needless, and his resentment toward Gu Han intensified.
• Bibi Dong sent Tang San away so she could speak privately with Yu Xiaogang.
• Bibi Dong gave Yu Xiaogang the Seven Absolutes Flower and told him it could help Luo Sanpao evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon.

Bibi Dong gave Yu Xiaogang the Seven Absolutes Flower, which he ate whole in hopes of evolving his martial soul and breaking through to Rank 30. Its blazing medicinal power burned him severely, while Gu Han revealed that the herb was actually the Seven Absolutes Sun Severing Flower and had warned Bibi Dong not to give it to a man.

• Yu Xiaogang accepted the Seven Absolutes Flower from Bibi Dong and decided to eat the blossom, stem, and leaves to maximize its effects.
• Yu Xiaogang swallowed the whole flower, broke through to Rank 30, and watched Luo Sanpao begin to grow as its medicinal power took effect.
• The flower's heat overwhelmed Yu Xiaogang, burned away his clothes and hair, and left him charred and unconscious despite Bibi Dong pouring water over him.
• Bibi Dong collapsed in grief beside Yu Xiaogang, realizing she would have to face him when he awoke.
• Gu Han, back at the hotel, revealed that the flower's true name was Seven Absolutes Sun Severing Flower and that its fiery power was harmless to women but could burn away a man's yang.

Yu Xiaogang woke to discover the Seven Absolutes Sun Severing Flower had destroyed his Little Gang, and he hid his resentment toward Bibi Dong while blaming Gu Han. When he summoned his martial soul, he discovered Luo Sanpao had evolved into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

• Bibi Dong grieved over Yu Xiaogang’s injuries and feared he would blame her, while the healer could only restore the wound where his Little Gang had been.
• Yu Xiaogang woke, felt the pain beneath him, and discovered that his Little Gang was gone.
• Bibi Dong tearfully apologized, and Yu Xiaogang concealed his anger, comforted her, and blamed Gu Han instead.
• Bibi Dong vowed to find another Immortal Herb to evolve Luo Sanpao, unaware that Yu Xiaogang’s martial soul had already changed.
• Yu Xiaogang summoned his martial soul and saw that Luo Sanpao had evolved into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Yu Xiaogang believed Luo Sanpao had evolved into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon after consuming the Seven Absolutes Flower, though he resented Gu Han for not giving him an herb that could have produced the Golden Sacred Dragon. He tested his First Soul Skill in the Pope’s Palace courtyard, where it remained the same disastrous attack and left him badly injured and unconscious.

• Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong discovered that Luo Sanpao had become the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Yu Xiaogang celebrated while regretting that it had not become the Golden Sacred Dragon.
• Bibi Dong called Tang San to help the weakened Yu Xiaogang into the Pope’s Palace courtyard so he could test his soul skills.
• Yu Xiaogang entered Martial Soul Possession and activated his First Soul Skill, which made his stomach swell instead of unleashing a dragon attack.
• Yu Xiaogang’s First Soul Skill erupted in a foul, electrically charged blast that destroyed his pants and splattered the courtyard.
• Yu Xiaogang’s wound reopened, and he fainted from his injuries as Bibi Dong and Tang San rushed to help him.
