Ning Fengzhi announced Lin Yao’s breakthrough and prepared a seat for the sect’s future Guardian Douluo while he and Gu Rong secretly left to obtain Ning Fengzhi’s eighth Soul Ring. In Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo defeated Yue Guan and Gui Mei with the Snowy Swan Kiss, forced them to promise compensation, and planned to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after handling the aftermath.

• Ning Fengzhi told the sect disciples that Lin Yao had reached the Quasi-Soul Ancestor realm and would soon become the youngest Soul Ancestor, while intending for spies to spread the news.

• Dugu Bo let Yue Guan and Gui Mei leave after they swore to provide compensation within a month, then planned to visit Lin Yao at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Lin Yao refined his strength, received the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Heart Separation Control manual, and began learning it from Ning Rongrong.

After hearing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had announced Lin Yao’s extraordinary cultivation, she sent Ghostly, Ling Yuan, and the Golden Generation to attend the sect’s ceremony, where Spirit Hall planned to test or recruit Lin Yao—or expose him as a fraud.

• Moon Guan explained that the Snowy Swan Kiss amplified toxins and could make Dugu Bo powerful, while the Aromatic Silk Beauty might counter it; Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall’s Intelligence Department to search for the herb.
• Bibi Dong gave Moon Guan and Gui Mei medicines to recover from their fight with Dugu Bo, then received an urgent report from Salas’s messenger about Lin Yao’s talent and upcoming ceremony.

• The other continental factions anticipated conflict between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and hoped to benefit while the powers weakened each other.

Lin Yao gave Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan Immortal Herbs at Dugu Manor, helping Ye Lingling improve her healing abilities and Dugu Yan evolve her Martial Soul and advance in cultivation. He then visited Xue Qinghe, whom Qian Renxue was impersonating, with another gift and an invitation to his Soul Ancestor breakthrough ceremony.

• Lin Yao gave Ye Lingling the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Dugu Yan the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, then guarded them as they absorbed the herbs.

• The Death Tyrant Dragon attacked with wind and sand, but Lin Yao struck it with his Star Sword and identified it as roughly seven thousand years old.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling agreed that the Death Tyrant Dragon's strength and death attribute would make its Soul Ring an excellent match for Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon.

Lin Yao defeated a Death Tyrant Dragon so Dugu Yan could absorb its Soul Ring, then discovered a matching Left Arm Bone and set it aside for her. After enduring a day of absorption, Dugu Yan succeeded and reached level forty-three.

• Lin Yao used his fourth soul skill, Shocking Thunder Sword Array, to suppress and nearly kill the Death Tyrant Dragon.
• Dugu Yan delivered the final blow and began absorbing the dragon’s seven-thousand-year Soul Ring while Dugu Bo stood guard.
• Ye Lingling noticed a glow beneath the corpse, and Lin Yao uncovered a Left Arm Bone from the Death Tyrant Dragon.
• Lin Yao gave the soul bone to Ye Lingling to hold for Dugu Yan, since it matched her Soul Ring and was unsuitable for Ye Lingling.
• Dugu Yan completed her absorption after a day and stabilized at level forty-three.

Dugu Yan absorbed the Death Tyrant Dragon's Soul Ring and left arm Soul Bone, gaining powerful enhancement and defensive abilities.

• Gui Mei suggested that Lin Yao’s strength be tested in battle, and Lin Yao accepted while claiming that none of Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation could defeat him alone.

After Hu Liena’s Charm failed, Lin Yao struck her with a spiritual attack, leaving Spirit Hall’s team on guard and Ghostly considering him a future threat.

• Lin Yao instructed Ning Rongrong to stay behind him and Dugu Yan to protect her, then the three summoned their Martial Souls for the battle against Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena.
• The spectators and Spirit Hall’s members were shocked when Lin Yao revealed two purple and two black Soul Rings, including two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
• Hu Liena used Charm on Lin Yao, but his powerful spiritual strength resisted it completely, while Ning Rongrong watched Hu Liena with jealousy and suspicion.
• When Hu Liena shifted her attention toward Ning Rongrong, Lin Yao attacked her sea of consciousness with a spiritual strike, making her pale and unsteady.
• Xie Yue moved to protect Hu Liena, Yan reacted with alarm, and Ghostly recognized Lin Yao’s spiritual power as a potential threat to Spirit Hall.

Lin Yao, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan defeated Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation, and Ning Fengzhi announced that Dugu Bo had joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Bibi Dong reprimanded the Golden Generation and Ghostly Douluo for their defeat by Lin Yao, then speculated about the source of his unusual strength. She shifted her attention to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s three Title Douluo and concluded that Spirit Hall might need the Worship Hall’s help to confront them.

• Bibi Dong questioned Ghostly Douluo about the failed mission and blamed Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue for underestimating Lin Yao and losing without showing the full strength of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan Douluo pleaded for leniency, and Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan promised to train hard and defeat Lin Yao in the future.
• Bibi Dong speculated that Lin Yao’s spiritual power came from a Head Soul Bone and that medicinal herbs, a torso Soul Bone, or a second Martial Soul might explain his unusual Soul Ring configuration.

• Bibi Dong assessed the threat posed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s three Douluo and decided she might have to pay a price to persuade the Worship Hall’s elders to act.
