Meanwhile, the Mouse Brothers reached Sea God Island with a letter from Tang Chen, where Tang Hao insulted Lin Hanye before Bo Saixi.

• Lin Hanye forced the Female Wolf Bandit to disguise herself as A Lang, brought her to Heaven Dou City, and assigned Hu Yan Zhen to keep her under guard at Moonlight Pavilion.

• Bo Saixi asked the Mouse Brothers about Lin Hanye, and Tang Hao called him a contemptible clown, angering Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi drove Tang Xiao and Tang Hao from Sea God Island after learning that Lin Hanye planned to establish the Soul Master Guild, then mourned his absence. Meanwhile, Tang Chen began the Asura trials, unaware that Rakshasa God had tampered with them, while Asura God judged potential successors and chose to make Bibi Dong and Lin Hanye future tests for his own candidate.

• Rakshasa God revealed that he had tampered with Tang Chen’s God Test, while Asura God observed the events and considered Tang Chen unsuitable as a successor.
• Asura God rejected Bibi Dong and Lin Hanye as heirs because they would disrupt the God Realm, deciding they could instead serve as trials for his chosen successor.

Lin Hanye assigned leaders for the Soul Master Guild and, after learning that the God Realm might be watching him, prepared to strengthen himself and his allies. He took Ah Yin beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to retrieve the Ice Fire Dragon King's Soul Bones, where they sensed the remains of the two gods nearby.

• Lin Hanye appointed Dugu Bo and Hu Yan Zhen to lead the Heaven Dou branch, Hu Yan Zhuo, Xie Ming, and Hu Mei to lead the Star Luo branch, and assigned trusted allies to the Guild's other departments.

Lin Hanye and Ah Yin retrieved two god-tier soul bones after Lin negotiated with the Ice Fire Dragon King over their Origin and future sacrifice. As the Sect Competition approached, Ning Fengzhi planned an alliance against Spirit Hall and the Soul Master Guild, while the Clear Sky Sect worried about losing its top position.

• Lin Hanye proposed that the Ice Fire Dragon King sacrifice themselves as his eighth and Ninth Soul Rings in exchange for a chance at future revival, and they agreed.

• News of Spirit Hall's upcoming Sect Competition spread across the continent, stirring anticipation and concern over the rankings of the great sects.
• Ning Fengzhi told Sword Douluo and Yu Luomian that he feared Spirit Hall and the Soul Master Guild, then proposed secretly contacting Clear Sky Sect and the Star Luo Imperial Family.
• Clear Sky Sect's elders panicked over the competition, fearing Lin Hanye and Sword Douluo could end its claim as the Number One Sect in the World.

Tang Wei resolved to protect the Clear Sky Sect’s reputation at the upcoming Sect Competition, while considering the contest a test of the Soul Master Guild. Tang Yuehua arrived and asked him to call Tang Hao and Tang Xiao back to meet A Lang, a beautiful and talented Soul Emperor.

After reaching Peerless Douluo, Lin Hanye led Bibi Dong and others to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts and strengthen their cultivation. He stopped Bibi Dong from risking five hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings at once, then prepared a safer plan while the others began absorbing Soul Bones.

• Lin Hanye reached level ninety-nine, and he explained how opened meridians and Soul Cores helped Titled Douluo advance.
• Lin Hanye agreed to enter the Sect Competition and traveled with Bibi Dong, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Shao Xin to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Hanye captured seven hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts and raised a Thunderous Hell Vine Soul Ring to a hundred thousand years.
• After a simulation showed that Bibi Dong's attempt to absorb five hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings could go wrong, Lin Hanye refused to let her proceed and proposed a safer way to condense her second Soul Core.
• Bibi Dong began absorbing four Soul Rings while Lin Hanye gave Soul Bones to Ah Yin and Liu Erlong, arranged a Great Strength Demon Bear for Shao Xin, and guarded the valley with clones and an ice barrier.

After Bibi Dong completed her Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core and reached Level 98, Lin Hanye discussed how she might use both of her martial souls and turned his attention to the remaining Hundred-Thousand-Year Three-Eyed Demonic Fox. The fox spoke into everyone’s minds, offering to sacrifice itself as a soul ring for Lin Hanye’s Second Martial Soul.

• Ah Yin’s Soul Power reached Level 89, Liu Erlong reached Level 85 after absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring and Soul Bone, and Shao Xin gained two powerful Food System Soul Skills.
• Lin Hanye gave Ah Yin the Hundred-Thousand-Year Haixing Right Arm Bone to help her break through to Level 90.
• Bibi Dong completed her Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core with Lin Hanye’s help and rose to Level 98, realizing she would have died without his guidance.
• Lin Hanye explained that he would research Martial Soul Mimicry so Bibi Dong could use both Beast Martial Souls and attempt a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• As Lin Hanye prepared to have the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger carry the Three-Eyed Demonic Fox to the Soul Master Guild Headquarters, the fox offered to become the soul ring of his Second Martial Soul.

Lin Hanye tested the Three-Eyed Demonic Fox's abilities, accepted her sacrifice as his fourth Heavenly Demon Eye soul ring, and named her Silver Moon. He then sent Bibi Dong to absorb a Million Year Ice Silkworm soul ring while taking Ah Yin toward the Lake of Life, as Tang Hao and Tang Xiao discussed their father's letter and the coming sect selection.

• The Three-Eyed Demonic Fox demonstrated her illusions, memory reading, teleportation, concealment, and restraint abilities, then sacrificed herself and gave Liu Erlong a Pink-Gold Left Arm Bone.

• Tang Hao and Tang Xiao read a letter saying their grandfather had left the sect and that they should meet him in Spirit City for the selection of the Seven Great Sects; Tang Hao questioned why Spirit Hall should decide the Clear Sky Sect's standing.

Lin Hanye subdued the fierce beasts beneath the Lake of Life and secured a young Emerald Swan as a soul ring for Ah Yin, then traveled to the Extreme North with Bibi Dong. There, he chased the Ice Empress and toyed with her using the Thousand Eyes Monster, leaving her to challenge him to finish the fight.

• Tang Xiao told Tang Hao that Yuehua wanted him to meet a talented woman, but Tang Hao refused because he still loved Ah Yin.
• Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python were trapped in Silver Moon’s illusion as Lin Hanye and Ah Yin entered the Lake of Life’s hidden space.
• Lin Hanye destroyed the Sky Azure Bull Python’s soul, and Ah Yin killed it and absorbed its soul ring and Soul Bone, reaching Level 93.
• Lin Hanye froze Di Tian and the other fierce beasts, then persuaded Bi Ji to offer a young Emerald Swan, Tiantian, whose soul ring he raised to a Hundred Thousand Year ring.
• Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape awoke to find the Sky Azure Bull Python gone, while Lin Hanye and Ah Yin left the hidden space.
• In the Extreme North, Lin Hanye chased the Ice Empress with the Thousand Eyes Monster’s attacks until she stopped fleeing and cursed at him.

Lin Hanye persuaded the Ice Empress to become his Soul Ring and Soul Bone, then brought the Snow Empress with him to the Soul Master Guild. A year later, as the Sect Competition began in Spirit City, the Soul Master Guild had not yet arrived, and the Clear Sky Sect believed its scheme against Lin Hanye had succeeded—until a streak of light approached.

• Lin Hanye threatened the Ice Empress with the Snow Empress's death, persuaded her to sacrifice herself, and gained her as his Sixth Soul Ring and a Right Leg Bone.
• Lin Hanye and Bibi Dong found the Snow Empress in the Extreme North, where Bibi Dong fought her until the Ice Empress arrived and explained her decision to become Lin Hanye's Soul Spirit.

• As the Clear Sky Sect celebrated the Guild's absence, a streak of light sped toward Spirit City.

Lin Hanye arrived at Spirit City as a Peerless Douluo, accepted Qian Daoliu’s request to mentor his granddaughter, and brought Ah Yin to be crowned. As the Sect Competition advanced to the Upper Three Sects match between the Soul Master Guild and Clear Sky Sect, Ah Yin revealed her strength by suppressing Tang Hao.

• Lin Hanye met Qian Daoliu and the other Spirit Hall priests, agreed to teach Qian Daoliu’s granddaughter, and sent Ling Yuan with Ah Yin to the Elder Hall for her coronation.
• At the Sect Competition, Tang Wei and Ning Fengzhi learned Lin Hanye had reached Peerless Douluo, while the Soul Master Guild took a seat equal to Qian Xunji’s above Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• The ranking matches exposed Clear Sky Sect’s difficulties against the Lower Four Sects, while Hu Yan Zhen defeated several opponents and tied with the Wind Sword Sect Master.
• After Ah Yin returned from her coronation, she joined Lin Hanye and provoked Tang Hao’s fury, while Tang Xiao recognized her as the woman Tang Hao had told him about.
• Dugu Bo entered the Soul Master Guild’s match against Tang Wei, and Lin Hanye sealed the arena in ice to contain Dugu Bo’s venom.
• When Tang Hao challenged Lin Hanye, Ah Yin suppressed him with her power and revealed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, leaving Tang Hao shocked by her disdain for him.

Dugu Bo defeated Clear Sky Sect Master Tang Wei in the Sect Competition with his poison and left him unable to fight again, while Tang Hao fainted after Ah Yin rejected him. The Clear Sky Sect was left facing the loss of its last active Titled Douluo as Dugu Bo defended his actions by recalling the injuries its disciples had inflicted on his family.

• Ah Yin rejected Tang Hao and insisted that he address her as Blue Silver Douluo, causing him to spit blood and faint.
• Tang Xiao challenged the Soul Master Guild over its intervention, but Hu Yan Zhen and Qian Xunji explained that Lin Hanye's barrier had protected the spectators from Dugu Bo's poison.
• Dugu Bo unleashed his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's potent poison against Tang Wei, who used Chaotic Storm and Ring Explosion to resist the attack.
• Dugu Bo broke Tang Wei's Chaotic Storm and overwhelmed him with Corrosive Torrent Pillar, enhanced by his Right Leg Bone, until Tang Wei fell and lost his hammer.
• Dugu Bo collected the poison and detoxified Tang Wei, but Tang Bai discovered that Ring Explosion and the poison had left Tang Wei unable to fight again.
• Dugu Bo told Tang Bai that Tang Wei's injuries were less than the Clear Sky Sect had once inflicted on his son and daughter-in-law.

Dugu Bo humiliated the Clear Sky Sect, and Ah Yin defeated Sword Douluo before Lin Hanye intervened to save his life. The Soul Master Guild won the Sect Competition and was named the Number One Sect in the World, while Qian Xunji announced new rankings for martial souls and Titled Douluo.

• Dugu Bo taunted the Clear Sky Sect after its members refused to challenge him, and Tang Bai led them away with the unconscious Tang Wei.

• Tang Bai conceded the Clear Sky Sect's match against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, leaving the Soul Master Guild as the competition's winner.

• Qian Xunji declared the Soul Master Guild the Number One Sect in the World and announced new martial-soul and Titled Douluo rankings, including the Seven Kill Sword as the Number One Tool Martial Soul.

The Clear Sky Sect challenged the Sect Competition’s results, but Tang Wei accepted his defeat and Tang Hao received the Papal Decree in his place. As the factions left, Ning Fengzhi treated Tang Wei and worked to repair relations between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect, while still fearing the Soul Master Guild’s growing power.

• Ning Fengzhi received the Papal Decree and was named a Spirit Hall Honorary Elder, while the Clear Sky Sect initially refused to come forward.
• Tang Hao accused the competition of being unfair and challenged Sword Douluo, but Sword Douluo refused to give up his aerial advantage, and the Lower Four Sects mocked Tang Hao’s conditions.

• Ning Fengzhi caught up with the Clear Sky Sect, treated Tang Wei’s injuries, and reassured Tang Wei that he understood Spirit Hall was trying to drive the sects apart.

After the Clear Sky Sect left Spirit City, Tang Wei sent Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to resume their training and find A Lang, while Tang Hao resolved to grow strong enough to defeat Lin Hanye and reclaim Ah Yin. At the Papal Palace, Lin Hanye met Qian Renxue and agreed to take her as his disciple.

• Ning Fengzhi watched the Clear Sky Sect depart and told Sword Douluo that his former brotherhood with Lin Hanye had ended in a life-or-death struggle.
• Tang Wei ordered Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to continue training toward becoming Titled Douluo and asked them to visit Heaven Dou City and meet A Lang.

• Lin Hanye arrived at the estate with Qian Xunji and Ah Yin, where Qian Daoliu, Ling Yuan, and Huang Yue'e were waiting with Qian Renxue.
• Qian Daoliu allowed Lin Hanye to hold Qian Renxue, who smiled instead of crying, and Lin Hanye agreed to take her as his disciple.

After accepting Qian Renxue, Lin Hanye began discussing the spread of his faith with Spirit Hall. Meanwhile, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao arrived at Moonlight Pavilion, where Tang Yuehua introduced them to A Lang, and both brothers fell in love with her at first sight.

• Tang Hao and Tang Xiao met A Lang and both became attracted to her, though Tang Hao denied his feelings and let Tang Xiao believe he had given her up.
• A Lang sent Lin Hanye a detailed report, and Lin Hanye ordered Silver Moon to erase memories and give A Lang further instructions while reprimanding Hu Yan Zhen for considering killing two witnesses.

• After reaching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yu Xiaogang identified himself, and the disciples laughed when they recognized him as the man whose martial soul had become a Farting Pig.

Yu Xiaogang sought refuge with Yu Luomian at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Ning Fengzhi recognized his theories as mostly plagiarized and misleading. Lin Hanye decided to keep Yu Xiaogang alive and torment him socially, while Tang Xiao and Tang Hao continued their training journey with A Lang, whose affection for Tang Xiao troubled his younger brother.

• Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples mocked Yu Xiaogang, and Yu Luomian agreed to meet him only after Ning Fengzhi urged him to do so.
• Yu Xiaogang claimed Spirit Hall had framed and imprisoned him, then presented his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul to Ning Fengzhi.
• Ning Fengzhi found Yu Xiaogang's theories largely copied and dangerous, but let him stay in the sect and saved him from Yu Luomian's plan to kill him.
• Yu Luomian reported Yu Xiaogang's arrival to Lin Hanye, and Lin Hanye told him to have the sect's people bully Yu Xiaogang instead of killing him.
• Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and A Lang shared a campfire meal, where A Lang doted on Tang Xiao and Tang Hao felt uncomfortable because she had accepted his brother's confession.

Tang Hao secretly slept with A Lang, who was engaged to Tang Xiao, while Yu Xiaogang left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after months of bullying. Five and a half years later, Lin Hanye and Bibi Dong’s six-year-old daughter, Lin Huaizhu, woke for her martial soul awakening.

• Tang Hao, consumed by jealousy over Tang Xiao and A Lang, followed A Lang to the river and slept with her while she pretended to mistake him for Tang Xiao.

• Yu Xiaogang left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after three months of mockery and bullying, planning to find a Junior Soul Master Academy and wait for a talented disciple.
• Ning Fengzhi learned Yu Xiaogang had left and decided not to pursue him, thinking it was better if he never returned.
• Five and a half years later, Haixing woke Lin Huaizhu and helped her prepare for her martial soul awakening, telling her Lin Hanye was waiting at the Divine Temple.

Lin Hanye took Lin Huaizhu to the Soul Master Guild’s Ice Emperor Divine Hall, where Qian Renxue became his second disciple and Huaizhu awakened the Goddess of Death Martial Soul with level 20 Innate Soul Power. Lin Hanye prepared to take both girls to Star Dou Great Forest to obtain their first Soul Rings.

• Lin Hanye arranged for Haixing to take his younger children to Dugu Yan’s house while he brought Lin Huaizhu to the Ice Emperor Divine Hall.
• Qian Daoliu brought Qian Renxue to the hall, where she knelt before Lin Hanye and officially became his second disciple.
