Chapter Summaries

Chen Feng, a reincarnated Biologist, awakened the damaged Tai Chi Bagua Sword and discovered that repairing it required blood from Soul Masters with high-quality Martial Souls. He rejected slaughtering people for blood and decided to advance Martial Soul research, hoping to find a better way to restore the sword.

• Chen Feng recalled his excitement about studying the Douluo Continent and his hopes for awakening a Biological Spirit.
• Chen Feng awakened the damaged Tai Chi Bagua Sword, which had only three usable trigram positions and limited him to three Soul Rings unless repaired.
• Chen Feng learned that his sword could take Yin and Yang forms, though he did not yet know how to use them.
• Chen Feng discovered that repairing the sword required enough blood from Soul Masters whose Martial Souls matched the relevant trigrams.
• Chen Feng rejected gathering blood by killing Soul Masters and decided to pursue Martial Soul research and evolution to find high-quality blood without becoming an enemy of the world.

Chen Feng explained how he had studied Spirit-related books and gradually befriended Tang San so he could research the future Blue Silver Emperor wielder. He believed Tang San’s loneliness and lack of purpose made him receptive to subtle psychological guidance, and the chapter ended as Chen Feng examined Tang San’s confused, narrowly focused life.

• Chen Feng used Su Yuntao’s help to borrow Spirit Hall books and spent two years studying them.
• Chen Feng recalled that he had initially avoided Tang San but decided to befriend him to gain access to the rare Blue Silver Emperor Spirit.
• Chen Feng cautiously influenced Tang San through subtle guidance, believing that a person’s character could change through hope and ideals.
• Chen Feng reasoned that Tang San had spent decades lonely and affection-starved, leaving him with little hope or purpose beyond practicing Tang Sect techniques.
• Chen Feng noted that Tang San had shown little curiosity about the new world he had lived in for six years and concluded that something was seriously wrong.

Chen Feng reflected on how his stories had helped Tang San become more cheerful and decided to talk with him after his martial soul awakening. He declined Spirit Hall’s invitation, and Old Jack revealed that he had found Chen Feng while hunting and was not his biological grandfather.

• Chen Feng remembered how he had eased Tang San’s loneliness by sharing stories, and Old Jack told him Tang San wanted to talk the next morning.
• Chen Feng told Old Jack he was not considering joining Spirit Hall, and he said he did not want to leave his grandfather behind.
• Old Jack accepted Chen Feng’s decision and urged him to protect himself and live well.
• Old Jack told Chen Feng that he was not his biological grandfather and that he had found him while hunting.

Chen Feng received a jade pendant from Old Jack and discussed his damaged Martial Soul with Tang San. Tang San agreed to help Chen Feng research a way to evolve Martial Souls, and Chen Feng prepared to explain his plan.

• Old Jack gave Chen Feng a jade pendant engraved with the character for Chen and told him it had been found with him.
• Chen Feng practiced swordsmanship on the hill beside Sacred Soul Village while Tang San meditated nearby.
• Tang San asked Chen Feng about his reaction to awakening his Martial Soul, and Chen Feng explained that he planned to research Martial Soul evolution to repair it.
• Tang San agreed to cooperate with Chen Feng and asked him to analyze his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Chen Feng deduced that Tang San had twin martial souls and identified his hidden hammer as the Clear Sky Hammer, revealing that Tang Hao was likely the famed Clear Sky Douluo. He left Tang San considering whether his mother’s Blue Silver Grass was an unusual martial soul and how her fate might connect to the battle with Spirit Hall.

• Tang San challenged Chen Feng to analyze his martial soul and agreed to heed his advice about martial souls if he succeeded.
• Chen Feng deduced that Tang San had twin martial souls from the mismatch between his Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power.
• Tang San revealed his hidden black hammer and asked Chen Feng to identify it and advise him about his parents.
• Chen Feng identified the hammer as the Clear Sky Hammer and concluded that Tang Hao was likely the Clear Sky Douluo.
• Tang San connected the six-year-old battle between Tang Hao and Spirit Hall to his birth and wondered whether his mother had died then.
• Chen Feng guessed that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass came from his mother and was probably not ordinary, since twin martial souls had to be of comparable quality.

Chen Feng explained the Soul Ring Attachment Principle to Tang San and advised him to focus Blue Silver Grass's Soul Rings on strengthening its vitality. He encouraged Tang San to gather companions to pursue revival together, while an observing Hammer Douluo silently recognized Chen Feng's talent.

• Tang San asked Chen Feng how to restore Blue Silver Grass to its true form, and Chen Feng warned him not to attach Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer yet.
• Chen Feng explained that Twin Martial Souls should be developed by strengthening one first, then adding high-level Soul Rings to the other once the wielder could withstand them.
• Chen Feng outlined his Soul Ring Attachment Principle and advised Tang San to build Blue Silver Grass around its vitality.
• Tang San hoped that Blue Silver Grass might let him revive his mother, but Chen Feng warned him against pursuing abilities that conflicted with the Martial Soul's core strengths.
• Chen Feng proposed gathering like-minded companions to pursue revival together, while a hidden Hammer Douluo praised his talent.

Chen Feng and Tang San enrolled at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, where Chen Feng began planning how to develop his Sword Spirit and named his resurrection project the Reincarnation Rebirth Technique. After Old Jack left, Tang San joined Chen Feng in making the technique their shared goal, hoping to bring Tang San's mother back to life.

• Chen Feng named his vision for mastering resurrection the Reincarnation Rebirth Technique and discussed his Sword Spirit's development with Tang San.
• Chen Feng researched Soul Beasts and planned to give his Tai Chi Bagua Sword functional and state-type soul skills rather than offensive ones.
• Chen Feng and Tang San arrived at Nuoding Academy, where the gate guard let them in because Grandmaster Su had secured two work-study places for Sacred Soul Village.
• Director Su explained that Grandmaster Su's intervention had secured the places, and Chen Feng learned their tuition fees had been waived.
• Old Jack offered Chen Feng his saved tuition and living-expense money, but Chen Feng persuaded him to take it home.
• Tang San agreed with Chen Feng to pursue the Reincarnation Rebirth Technique together and vowed to bring his mother back from death.

Chen Feng and Tang San arrived at Dormitory Seven, where they met Xiao Wu, another Work-Study Student with Innate Full Soul Power. Xiao Wu wanted to share their bedding, but after Chen Feng refused, she decided to hurry out to obtain a spirit ring for the Spirit Hall subsidy, and Chen Feng stopped her to ask about her plan.

• Chen Feng and Tang San entered Dormitory Seven, introduced themselves to Wang Sheng, and declined his offer to make them the Work-Study Students’ bosses.
• Chen Feng and Tang San pushed their beds together and shared Chen Feng’s bedding, while Chen Feng neatly folded the quilt.
• Xiao Wu arrived, introduced herself as a Work-Study Student with Innate Full Soul Power, and recognized Chen Feng and Tang San as the other new students with that power.
• Xiao Wu asked to share Chen Feng and Tang San’s bedding, but Chen Feng refused, and Tang San told her about the Spirit Hall’s Gold Soul Coin subsidy.
• Xiao Wu said she wanted Waist Bow as her first soul skill and had chosen a Soul Beast, so Chen Feng stopped her and asked her to explain her plan.

Chen Feng challenged Xiao Wu’s plan to choose Waist Bow as her first soul skill, arguing that she already possessed the ability and should reserve soul skill slots for Martial Soul evolution. Over a meal, he began explaining that Xiao Wu’s Martial Soul could not simply be a Soft Bone Rabbit, leaving Tang San to question what it truly was.

• Xiao Wu said she wanted Waist Bow as her first soul skill because it was the Soft Bone Rabbit’s innate ability, and Chen Feng asked whether she wanted to be only a Soft Bone Rabbit.
• Chen Feng convinced Xiao Wu that she could use Waist Bow without spending a soul skill slot and stressed that soul skills could drive Martial Soul evolution.
• Chen Feng invited Xiao Wu and Tang San to eat early, offered to pay for Xiao Wu, and made her reluctantly call him Bro Feng.
• At the cafeteria, Xiao Wu asked Chen Feng how to choose her first soul skill, and he said they first needed to understand her Martial Soul’s essence.
• Chen Feng explained that Soft Bone Rabbits were weak Soul Beasts, leading Tang San to agree that Xiao Wu’s Martial Soul could not merely be a Soft Bone Rabbit.

Chen Feng explained his theories about martial-soul evolution and helped Xiao Wu choose a direction for her first spirit skill. Xiao Wu committed to the path of evolution, and Chen Feng proposed incorporating a higher life form’s bloodline, such as a dragon’s, to advance her Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor.

• Chen Feng named Xiao Wu’s evolved martial soul the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor and suggested that Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass might be a Blue Silver King.
• Chen Feng theorized that generations of selective spirit-ring choices could create stronger martial-soul bloodlines, while Tang San and Xiao Wu listened and Tang Hao tried to recall the Clear Sky Sect’s history.
• Chen Feng asked Xiao Wu whether she would follow the safe path or pursue evolution, and Xiao Wu chose evolution after conceding to his preferred way of addressing her.
• Chen Feng explained that Xiao Wu should strengthen her foundation and build on her strengths, then said she would need a higher life form’s bloodline, such as a dragon’s, to advance beyond rabbit bloodline limits.

Chen Feng advised Xiao Wu to evolve her Martial Soul along the moon-attribute path, and Grandmaster arrived with a suitable Soul Beast suggestion. The chapter ended with Chen Feng recognizing that this Grandmaster looked like the manhua version and wondering what that meant for his understanding of Douluo Continent.

• Chen Feng explained that Xiao Wu could preserve her rabbit Martial Soul by pursuing energy evolution, then recommended the moon attribute after she rejected dragon-kind bloodline changes and an Assault Type role.
• Chen Feng proposed that Xiao Wu absorb Moonlight while Tang San absorbed sunlight, suggesting their evolved Martial Souls might eventually form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Xiao Wu accepted the moon-attribute path and asked which Soul Beast would suit her.
• Grandmaster came downstairs and recommended the Moon-Drawing Fox, which could gather Moonlight on its tail and store it in its body.
• Grandmaster introduced himself and praised Chen Feng's Martial Soul theories, while Chen Feng noticed his appearance matched the manhua version and questioned whether his assumptions about Douluo Continent were correct.

Chen Feng tested Grandmaster’s knowledge by asking about rare Soul Beasts, and Grandmaster recommended an Umbrella Crown Sunflower for Tang San’s Life Attribute path. After agreeing to travel to Sand Gold Land together, Chen Feng asked to examine Grandmaster’s flawed martial soul, Luo Sanpao, and clapped at it.

• Chen Feng asked Grandmaster about Moon-Drawing Foxes, and Grandmaster explained that they lived near Moonlight Stone in Sand Gold Valley and the Death Desert.
• Grandmaster accepted Chen Feng’s proposed Life Attribute path for Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and recommended the regenerative, light-absorbing Umbrella Crown Sunflower as a Soul Beast.
• Chen Feng proposed that he, Tang San, and Grandmaster travel to Sand Gold Land to seek their respective Soul Beasts.
• Chen Feng asked Grandmaster to summon Luo Sanpao so he could examine its martial soul problem, and then clapped at it.

Chen Feng examined Luo Sanpao and concluded that its weak dragon bloodline and lack of energy had kept it from reaching its potential. He proposed feeding it blood from suitable dragon-type Soul Beasts, giving Grandmaster hope for its growth.

• Chen Feng examined Luo Sanpao and asked Grandmaster about the changes it underwent during the Golden Iron Triangle's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Grandmaster confirmed that Luo Sanpao transformed into the Golden Sacred Dragon, with Grandmaster controlling it and Luo Sanpao as its primary Spirit.
• Chen Feng deduced that Luo Sanpao had a weak dragon bloodline but a powerful Light Attribute, and that it lacked enough Soul Power or other energy to evolve.
• Grandmaster told Chen Feng that he had never obtained a dragon-type Soul Beast Spirit Ring and feared there was no hope for Luo Sanpao.
• Chen Feng suggested treating Luo Sanpao as a living being and feeding it blood from dragon-type Soul Beasts with Light, lightning, and fire attributes, while avoiding unnecessary killing.

Chen Feng persuaded Grandmaster to pursue a way to solve Luo Sanpao’s problem and invited him to help the group hunt for their First Spirit Rings. He then went with Tang San and Xiao Wu to find Su Yuntao as a bodyguard, leaving them waiting at Spirit Hall for his return.

• Grandmaster agreed with Chen Feng’s advice to avoid killing Soul Beasts unnecessarily and resolved to keep searching for a way to solve Luo Sanpao’s problem.
• Chen Feng invited Grandmaster to accompany them to Sand Gold Valley, and Grandmaster agreed after deciding to ask Flender for help obtaining dragon-type Soul Beast blood.
• Chen Feng planned to use contact with Flender to influence Ma Hongjun’s future Spirit Ring choice.
• Chen Feng, Tang San, and Xiao Wu went to Spirit Hall to ask Su Yuntao to serve as their bodyguard.
• Ma Xiunuo learned that Xiao Wu also had Innate Full Soul Power and told the three that Su Yuntao would return soon; Chen Feng declined his offer to find more people to accompany them.

Chen Feng met Su Yuntao at Spirit Hall and persuaded him to accompany the children to Sand Gold Valley, while reflecting on Spirit Hall’s leadership and planning how to keep Tang San from blaming the whole organization for his mother’s death. The group left in a Spirit Hall carriage to pick up one of their academy teachers before setting out.

• Chen Feng greeted Su Yuntao, who agreed to obtain leave and accompany the children to Sand Gold Valley.
• Chen Feng thought about Spirit Hall’s failures and considered how to reform it without letting Tang San’s anger spread to its ordinary members.
• Chen Feng deflected Xiao Wu’s questions, and Tang San stopped her from becoming angry with him.
• Su Yuntao returned with permission and arranged a carriage bearing Spirit Hall’s emblem.
• Chen Feng asked Su Yuntao to pick up an academy teacher, and the carriage headed toward Nuoding Academy.

Chen Feng, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang, and Su Yuntao traveled to Sand Gold City to prepare for an expedition into Sand Gold Valley. At the inn, Chen Feng noticed a stern middle-aged man accompanied by a blond boy with heterochromia and a Black-Haired Little Girl.

• Yu Xiaogang joined Chen Feng and the others at Nuoding Academy, reflecting that he would share knowledge with Chen Feng without trying to become his teacher.
• The group traveled for two and a half days and reached Sand Gold City near Sand Gold Valley in the evening.
• Su Yuntao and Chen Feng discussed taking turns driving the carriage on the way back, and Tang San offered to help as well.
• Yu Xiaogang paid for dinner and lodging, then the group sat down to eat at the inn.
• Chen Feng noticed a stern middle-aged man with a blond boy with heterochromia and a Black-Haired Little Girl standing behind him.

Chen Feng recognized Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing as children of the Star Luo Dai and Zhu families, then defused a misunderstanding and invited them to join his group. The chapter left Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing approaching Grandmaster, while Dai Mubai reflected on the succession struggle and Zhu Zhuqing’s distress over her family.

• Chen Feng identified the heterochromatic-eyed boy and the black-haired girl as likely members of the Dai and Zhu families, and Grandmaster explained how Zhu family members’ training shaped their walk.
• Dai Mubai confronted Chen Feng’s group for staring, but Chen Feng praised the children, explained the misunderstanding, and invited Dai Mubai to share their table.
• Dai Mubai introduced himself and went to fetch Chen Yun and Zhu Zhuqing, while Xiao Wu questioned Chen Feng’s conciliatory approach and Tang San agreed with him.
• Chen Yun recognized Grandmaster as the Horn of Wisdom from the Golden Iron Triangle and agreed to greet him with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Dai Mubai reflected that Zhu Zhuqing was struggling to accept her role in the heirs’ brutal succession contest and that he had brought her away from Star Luo to help her recover.

Chen Feng's group joined Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Chen Yun on a journey from Sand Gold City to Sand Gold Valley to hunt Soul Beasts. Along the way, Chen Feng explained his theory that a spirit master's will could influence how a Spirit Ring's skill manifested.

• Dai Mubai reflected on his family's forced engagement and hoped to keep Zhu Zhuqing from being dragged down by his troubles.
• Chen Yun introduced Dai Mubai's group to Chen Feng's group, and Zhu Zhuqing remained withdrawn as the groups ate together.
• The next morning, Dai Mubai suggested that the groups travel together, and they left Sand Gold City for Sand Gold Valley.
• Chen Feng, Tang San, and Xiao Wu described their Soul Beast targets, including Chen Feng's Heavy Mud Horse.
• Chen Feng argued that a spirit master's will could affect whether a Heavy Mud Horse's skill enhanced the master's body or their Tool Spirit, prompting Dai Mubai's skepticism.

Chen Feng explained his hypothesis that a soul master's willpower could influence the effects of absorbed soul skills, then proposed that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing could avoid the Star Luo heir duel by severing their martial soul connection. The chapter ended with Chen Feng outlining how their families' connection might have been shaped over generations, while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing listened.

• Chen Feng explained to Dai Mubai and Grandmaster how fixed White Tiger soul skills had inspired his hypothesis that willpower influenced soul skills.
• Chen Feng's group entered Sand Gold Valley and found an Umbrella Crown Sunflower over four hundred years old.
• Tang San killed the Umbrella Crown Sunflower with Grandmaster's Woodcutter's Axe and began absorbing its soul ring.
• Chen Feng asked Dai Mubai about his planned second soul skill and then raised the possibility that he and Zhu Zhuqing could avoid the Star Luo heir duel.
• Chen Feng suggested that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing could escape the duel by severing their martial soul connection, which he believed their families had cultivated across generations.

Chen Feng urged Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to change their spirit paths to escape the Star Luo succession struggle, asking them to judge his advice by Tang San’s first spirit skill. Tang San woke after absorbing his spirit ring and sighed heavily, leaving Chen Feng and Tang Hao worried that the result had gone badly.

• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing doubted Chen Feng’s proposal to sever their spirits’ connection, while Grandmaster understood that he meant changing Dai Mubai’s spirit attributes.
• Chen Feng explained that Zhu Zhuqing should deepen her darkness attribute and said Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass spirit would demonstrate whether his advice was sound.
• Zhu Zhuqing agreed to consider Chen Feng’s guidance if Tang San’s spirit skill proved impressive, and Dai Mubai began to consider giving up the succession struggle for freedom.
• Tang San finished absorbing his spirit ring and woke with a heavy sigh, darkening Chen Feng’s and Tang Hao’s expressions.
