Chapter Summaries

Ning Rongrong advised Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo on preparing to condense the Calamity Poison Body, explaining how Whale Rubber could improve Dugu Yan’s chances of surviving the process. They decided to seek Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber in Vast Sea City and planned to discuss the trip with Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo.

• Dugu Bo asked Ning Rongrong whether Dugu Yan should condense a poison core, and Ning Rongrong warned that removing it could leave lasting side effects.
• Ning Rongrong said she did not recommend the Calamity Poison Body without a cultivation method, but explained that proper preparations could raise the success rate to ninety percent.
• Ning Rongrong revealed that Whale Rubber could improve a soul master’s attributes and that Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber might increase the success rate by another twenty percent.
• Ning Rongrong warned that publicizing Whale Rubber could prompt whale Soul Beast hunting, provoke the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a target.
• Dugu Bo agreed to follow Ning Rongrong’s plan, and they chose Vast Sea City as their destination to seek Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber.
• Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo went to find Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo to discuss the plan.

Ning Rongrong, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan traveled to Vast Sea City to seek Whale Rubber and gather information. At the city auction house, Dugu Bo revealed his Titled Douluo rank and arranged to auction pills, opening the way for them to make inquiries.

• Ning Rongrong explained her plan to obtain Whale Rubber, while Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo declined to join because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needed someone to stay behind.
• Ning Rongrong, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan reached Vast Sea City after three days of travel and explored its sea-themed market.

• Dugu Bo displayed his nine Soul Rings to gain entry to the auction house, where head steward Zhou Xun greeted them.
• Dugu Bo gave Zhou Xun bottles of healing, Soul Power-restoring, and detoxifying pills to auction, then demanded a private room and warned him not to deceive them.

Ning Rongrong and her companions learned about Sea God Island’s outcasts and the dangers of hunting sea Soul Beasts while attending an auction in Vast Sea City. After receiving a sea chart, they turned their attention to an Ancient Soul Guidance Device brought onto the stage.

• Zhou Xun told Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo about Sea God Island’s expelled residents and the pirate captain Purple Pearl, who was nearing Soul Emperor strength.
• Zhou Xun explained that obtaining ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber was extremely dangerous and sold Ning Rongrong a sea chart for one thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Dugu Bo suspected Zhou Xun had mentioned the Ancient Soul Guidance Device to encourage them to spend more at the auction.
• The auctioneer sold Dugu Bo’s healing, detoxification, and Soul Power-restoring pills for five thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Ning Rongrong received the sea chart, and Dugu Yan noted that its black and red dots marked areas inhabited by powerful Soul Beasts.
• The auctioneer presented an Ancient Soul Guidance Device, drawing Ning Rongrong and her companions to the window to watch.

Ning Rongrong bought the long-unsold Dragon Abyss Boat at auction, intending to give it to Lou Gao to study. As she and her companions left Vast Sea City to seek a ship and information about ten-thousand-year soul beasts, a group of suspected pirates blocked their path to rob them.

• Ning Rongrong recognized the transforming Soul Tool as the Dragon Abyss Boat and bought it for 30,000 Gold Soul Coins after no one else bid.
• Ning Rongrong planned to give the fragile boat to Lou Gao to investigate its mysteries, then turned her attention to finding a ten-thousand-year soul beast and a seaworthy ship.
• Dugu Bo sensed several people following the group after they left the auction house, and Ning Rongrong ordered him to capture them alive for questioning.
• The pursuers rushed ahead and blocked Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo, announcing that they intended to rob them.

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Bo stopped Purple Pearl's pirate group from robbing them and recruited Purple Pearl to help search for ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Purple Pearl agreed to take them out to sea after three days of preparation.

• Purple Pearl and her crew tried to rob Ning Rongrong, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan, but Dugu Bo poisoned the pirates unconscious without killing them.
• Dugu Bo learned that Purple Pearl was a twenty-seven-year-old Level 59 Soul King and asked why she had not gone to Sea God Island; Purple Pearl said she disliked it.

• Ning Rongrong offered Purple Pearl up to one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to guide them to whale-type Soul Beasts, and Purple Pearl accepted.
• Purple Pearl said they would need three days to prepare for the voyage, and Ning Rongrong told her to contact them at the Vast Sea Grand Hotel and gave her antidote for her crew.

Ning Rongrong considered recruiting Purple Pearl, partly for her talent and partly to lead a future Soul Tool fleet exploring overseas. After investigating Purple Pearl, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan met her as promised and boarded her ship.

• Purple Pearl gave her poisoned crew Detoxification Pills and wondered whether she would join Ning Rongrong’s sect.
• Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan discussed Purple Pearl’s intentions and Ning Rongrong revealed her plan to build a fleet for overseas exploration.
• Dugu Yan worried about Purple Pearl’s advances, while Ning Rongrong argued that Purple Pearl’s feelings were her own business and that recruitment was worthwhile.
• Over three days, Dugu Yan gathered information that Purple Pearl followed a code, usually robbed only the rich, and might be attracted to women.
• Purple Pearl arrived as promised and led Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo aboard the Purple Pearl Pirate Ship.

Ning Rongrong invited Purple Pearl to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and explained its plans to develop trade in Vast Sea City. The group reached the Whale Devouring the Sea’s territory, where Dugu Bo prepared to confront the enormous beast as it surfaced.

• Ning Rongrong told Purple Pearl that she was the sect master's daughter and introduced Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan as members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Rongrong invited Purple Pearl to join the sect and help develop its trade in Vast Sea City, and Purple Pearl asked for time to consider.

• A vast whirlpool formed as the Whale Devouring the Sea began surfacing, and Dugu Bo released his soul rings and declared that he would face it.

Dugu Bo killed a Whale Devouring the Sea and obtained Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber for Dugu Yan’s Calamity Poison Body preparations. Two months later, Sword Douluo learned Ning Rongrong was in danger near Sea God Island and set out with Ning Fengzhi to reach Vast Sea City.

• Dugu Bo used his Martial Soul Avatar and Soul Skills to defeat the Whale Devouring the Sea, then retrieved its Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber.
• Ning Rongrong paid Purple Pearl for the Whale Rubber, and she explained that Dugu Yan would need five portions and should eat it daily for a month.
• Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and the crew continued searching for whale-type Soul Beasts for two months.
• Sword Douluo scolded Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo after reading about Ning Rongrong’s journey near Vast Sea City.
• Sword Douluo ordered Bone Douluo to guard the sect, then took Ning Fengzhi with him as they flew toward Vast Sea City.

Ning Rongrong and her companions returned to Vast Sea City after another whale-hunting voyage, while Purple Pearl continued weighing whether to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo arrived to meet Rongrong, and Ning Fengzhi learned of her interest in recruiting Purple Pearl but worried about the loyalty of Sea Soul Masters.

• Purple Pearl continued investigating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and postponed deciding whether to join, concerned that her Sea Soul Master subordinates might turn against the sect over their faith in the Sea God.
• Purple Pearl delivered Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo to land, and Rongrong told Dugu Yan that Purple Pearl still seemed uncertain about joining.
• Dugu Bo noted that they had collected four pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber and expected to obtain the last within a month.
• Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo encountered Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo in Vast Sea City, where Rongrong learned that Sword Douluo had broken through.
• Ning Rongrong recounted her recent experiences to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi recognized her strong interest in recruiting Purple Pearl but worried that Sea Soul Masters might defect.

• Ning Rongrong showed Ning Fengzhi the Dragon Abyss Boat and explained that recruiting loyal Sea Soul Masters was a possible goal.
• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo met Purple Pearl, then joined her aboard the Purple Pearl to travel to the Blue-Eyed White Whale's waters.
• Sword Douluo killed the 70,000-year-old Blue-Eyed White Whale with a single strike and retrieved its Whale Rubber.
• Purple Pearl ordered the ship to leave before the whale's blood attracted trouble.
• Purple Pearl spotted a huge pod led by the Evil Orca King and urgently ordered the crew to turn the ship around.

Purple Pearl warned Ning Rongrong and the others that the ship had encountered the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Group led by the hundred-thousand-year Evil Orca King. Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo went to fight the sea beasts while Ning Fengzhi empowered them, and Purple Pearl learned the sect’s secret about the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

• Purple Pearl reported that the ship’s scouting Soul Tool had detected the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Group and its leader, the Evil Orca King.
• Sword Douluo agreed to face the Evil Orca King while Dugu Bo offered to fight its ten-thousand-year-old followers, and Ning Fengzhi approved their plan.
• Dugu Bo gave Ning Fengzhi antidote pills for the crew, and Ning Rongrong warned Purple Pearl to return every unused pill and keep the poison antidote secret.
• Ning Fengzhi revealed his Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and used its Soul Skills to strengthen Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo before they charged into battle.
• Purple Pearl returned all the pills and learned that Ning Fengzhi’s Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had eight Soul Rings, a secret not yet known outside the sect.
• The group saw more than three hundred ten-thousand-year-old Evil Spirit Orcas approaching as a vast black mass.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Dugu Bo ambushed the Evil Orca King and devastated its forces, but the king struck the Purple Pearl Pirate Ship before Chen Xin and Dugu Bo prepared their final attacks. The Evil Orca King was frozen in place as Chen Xin’s God and Demon Dual Slash descended.

• The Evil Orca King led three hundred Evil Spirit Orca warriors toward the Purple Pearl, but Chen Xin ambushed him with God and Demon Dual Slash, splitting the sea and wounding him.
• Dugu Bo unleashed Jade Phosphorous Divine Light, poisoning and killing many of the Evil Orca King’s followers.
• Ning Fengzhi used Mirror Image Replication to summon a Sword Douluo clone, which struck the Evil Orca King with a copy of Chen Xin’s ninth Soul Skill.
• The Evil Orca King feinted and fired Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Demon's Wrath at the Purple Pearl Pirate Ship, which disappeared into the beam as the king was wounded again.
• As the Evil Orca King tried to escape, Dugu Bo used Time Freeze while Chen Xin prepared another God and Demon Dual Slash.

Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo killed the Evil Orca King and collected its Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and Soul Bone. After returning to the Purple Pearl, they learned Ning Rongrong had kept everyone safe by tricking the beast into attacking an illusion, and the group sailed away from the Land of Strife.

• Dugu Bo restrained the wounded Evil Orca King while Sword Douluo split it in two and destroyed its internal organs.
• Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo collected the Evil Orca King's Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

• Ning Fengzhi revealed that Ning Rongrong had devised the plan, and she explained that her Mirror Flower, Water Moon version 2.0 had made the Evil Orca King attack an illusion.
• Ning Rongrong and the others sailed away from the Land of Strife as the Evil Orca King's Soul Ring disappeared in the fog.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King devoured the Evil Orca King’s remains and confronted Bo Saixi, who had left Sea God Island. Their battle escalated as the whale king revealed his near-complete dragon transformation, while Ning Rongrong and her group sensed the distant clash on their way to Vast Sea City.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King emerged from the sea and devoured the Poison Mist, the Evil Spirit Orca Group, and the Evil Orca King’s corpse.

• Bo Saixi and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King exchanged increasingly powerful attacks that unleashed widespread devastation across the sea and sky.
• Ning Rongrong’s group noticed the distant battle, and Ning Rongrong identified the combatants as Bo Saixi and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

After returning to Vast Sea City, Purple Pearl accepted Ning Fengzhi’s reward and agreed to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which planned to rely on her in its sea trade and underwater Soul Tool ventures. The group then returned to their hotel to divide the spoils from the Evil Orca King and his clan.

• Purple Pearl asked Ning Rongrong to explain Bo Saixi’s and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s strength, and learned they were both comparable to Level 99 Titled Douluo.
• After two days at sea, the group returned to Vast Sea City, where Ning Fengzhi offered Purple Pearl two million Gold Soul Coins and an Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Soul Bone.
• Purple Pearl accepted the reward and asked to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Fengzhi welcomed her and explained its plans for sea trade and underwater Soul Tools.
• Ning Fengzhi gave Purple Pearl a high-authority sect token and entrusted her with overseeing the sect’s future trade expansion in Vast Sea City.
• The group returned to their hotel and prepared to divide the remaining Soul Bones and other spoils from the Evil Orca King and his clan.

Ning Fengzhi and the others divided the Evil Orca King’s spoils, assigning the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to Ning Fengzhi and the Hundred Thousand Year Whale Rubber to Dugu Bo. Just as the meeting ended, Ning Rongrong revealed that she had sealed the Evil Orca King’s Soul Ring inside her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

• Sword Douluo declined the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and Dugu Bo chose the Hundred Thousand Year Whale Rubber for Dugu Yan.
• Ning Rongrong argued that Ning Fengzhi would benefit more than Gu Rong from the Evil Orca King’s Soul Bone because its control and defensive skills could protect him.
• Ning Fengzhi accepted the Soul Bone after Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo supported Ning Rongrong’s reasoning.
• Dugu Bo declined the remaining Soul Bones, and the group decided the 70,000-Year head Soul Bone was suitable for Gu Rong while the other remaining treasures would go back to the sect.
• Ning Rongrong revealed a red Soul Ring sealed inside her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and explained that she had preserved the Evil Orca King’s Soul Ring.

Ning Rongrong stored the Evil Orca King's Ten Thousand Year soul ring inside her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but it would dissipate unless someone absorbed it within three days. Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she proposed giving it to a Level 80 Soul Saint, leaving the elders to consider whether that was possible.

• Ning Rongrong explained that her Martial Soul could store the Evil Orca King's Ten Thousand Year soul ring for only seven days, leaving three days to find someone to absorb it.
• Ning Fengzhi and the others found no eligible Soul Douluo in the sect and worried that recruiting an outsider would risk the sect's security.
• Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo, and Dugu Bo hurried back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and met with Bone Douluo to discuss the soul ring.
• Bone Douluo confirmed that the sect had no Soul Douluo ready for a soul ring, and the elders debated recruiting an outsider.
• Ning Rongrong suggested seeking a Level 80 Soul Saint instead and argued that sect members strengthened by Medicinal Baths could absorb a Ten Thousand Year soul ring.

Ning Rongrong proposed giving the Evil Orca King's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring to Lou Gao, hoping to help him become a Titled Douluo and create more advanced Soul Tools. After seeing Lou Gao demonstrate a powerful Level 5 Fixed Soul Tool, Ning Fengzhi and the others asked him to consider taking the ring, and the chapter ended with Lou Gao questioning why they had chosen him.

• Ning Rongrong argued that Lou Gao deserved the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring because his strength could help him create higher-grade Soul Tools, and Dugu Bo supported her proposal.
• A powerful blast shook the Council Hall, and Ning Fengzhi and the others went to the Training Field to see Lou Gao's new ice-element repeating-crossbow Soul Tool threaten a Soul Emperor's strength.
• Lou Gao told Ning Fengzhi that he had repaired the Soul Tool and become a Level 5 Soul Engineer, crediting Ning Rongrong's guidance.
• Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong explained that they wanted Lou Gao to absorb the Evil Orca King's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and eventually become a Titled Douluo.
• Lou Gao was startled by the proposal and asked why they had chosen him instead of someone else.

Ning Rongrong persuaded Lou Gao to absorb the Evil Orca King's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and then tested his repaired Ice Soul Repeating Crossbow with Dugu Yan. After Dugu Yan's shot revealed the weapon's destructive power, Ning Rongrong prepared to try it herself, leaving Ning Fengzhi curious whether she could use a Soul Tool without cultivating Soul Power.

• Ning Rongrong praised Lou Gao's forging and persuaded him to absorb the Evil Orca King's Soul Ring after he had time to recover.
• Lou Gao explained the Ice Soul Repeating Crossbow's operating procedure and warned that it needed to rest for five minutes after each use.
• Ning Rongrong brought Dugu Yan to the control platform and urged her to fire the Ice Soul Repeating Crossbow.
• Dugu Yan's shot struck the ground, creating a crater over ten meters wide and coating it with frost; Ning Fengzhi noted that the blast was weaker because she had not supplied enough Soul Power.
• After waiting for the weapon to recharge, Ning Rongrong placed her hand on its control panel, while Ning Fengzhi wondered whether she could activate it.

Ning Rongrong demonstrated the Ice Soul Repeating Crossbow’s immense power before Lou Gao prepared to absorb the Evil Orca King’s Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. As Lou Gao began absorbing it with Ning Fengzhi’s support, Ning Rongrong sensed the Evil Orca King’s resentment was far stronger than expected and decided to try something.

• Ning Rongrong activated the Ice Soul Repeating Crossbow with True Qi, creating a massive icy explosion that astonished Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Sword Douluo.
• Lou Gao recovered over two days, then gathered with the others in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s conference hall to prepare for the Soul Ring absorption.
• Ning Rongrong warned Lou Gao that absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his Eighth Soul Ring was dangerous and urged him to prioritize his safety.
• Ning Rongrong released the Evil Orca King’s blood-red Soul Ring, and Ning Fengzhi used his Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to boost Lou Gao’s strength.
• Ning Rongrong sensed that the Evil Orca King’s remnant will had grown much stronger and concluded Lou Gao’s soul might not withstand it, so she decided to try something.
