Chapter Summaries

Ning Fengzhi learned that Dugu Bo’s poison had injured Ning Rongrong and Bone Douluo, and he ordered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to seek help from a Nine Heart Begonia healer. A Clear Sky Sect envoy led by Tang Long arrived, leaving Ning Fengzhi waiting to hear their purpose.

• A sect elder told Ning Fengzhi that Ning Rongrong and Bone Douluo had been poisoned by an unfamiliar martial-soul toxin.
• Ning Fengzhi suspected Dugu Bo and suppressed his anger rather than risk exposing the sect’s weakness to the nobles.
• The elder suggested finding a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, but admitted that he had poor relations with them and doubted their healing ability against a Titled Douluo.
• A disciple reported that a Clear Sky Sect envoy wanted an audience, and Ning Fengzhi ordered the elder to summon Sword Douluo.
• Tang Long and several gray-robed Clear Sky Sect disciples arrived, and Tang Long greeted Ning Fengzhi before asking him to look at something.

Tang Long delivered a letter from the Clear Sky Sect to Ning Fengzhi, revealing that the sect knew Bone Douluo had been poisoned and might be able to help cure him. Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluos considered the news while Tang Long and his group stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Tang Long sent the Clear Sky Sect's sealed letter across the table to Ning Fengzhi using Soul Power.
• Ning Fengzhi read the letter and asked Tang Long and his group to stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect while he considered its important contents.
• Ning Fengzhi summoned Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong to read the letter.
• Gu Rong was surprised that the Clear Sky Sect knew he had been poisoned and claimed an affiliated clan might cure him.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that the Breaking Clan, one of the Clear Sky Sect's Four Single-Attribute Clans, specialized in researching and developing poisons.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong agreed to let Yang Wudi try to cure Gu Rong’s poison, but required him to come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Tang Zhang prepared to use the cure to secure his plan, though he still lacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and worried about provoking Heaven Dou.

• Chen Xin warned Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi that Dugu Bo’s poison was slowly eroding the Soul Power suppressing it.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to try the Clear Sky Sect’s proposed cure, insisting that Yang Wudi come alone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• After waiting two days, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong sent their reply with Tang Long.
• Tang Zhang asked Yang Wudi how confident he was, and Yang Wudi said he could cure them if their lives were not in danger.
• Tang Zhang concluded that curing them would make his plan foolproof, but noted that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was still missing and that acting against Chen Yue could provoke Heaven Dou.

Tang Zhang planned to unite the Seven Great Sects, Spirit Hall, and other powers against Chen Yue before the Soul Master Competition. In Spirit City, Bibi Dong encountered a mysterious phantom in her seclusion chamber and demanded to know who it was.

• Tang Zhang decided to accept Qian Xunji's proposal for the moment and wait until Chen Yue traveled to Spirit City for the Soul Master Competition.
• Tang Zhang planned to gather the Seven Great Sects, Spirit Hall, and other influential powers to confront Chen Yue with evidence of his alleged collusion with soul beasts.
• Bibi Dong sensed a strange voice while cultivating and realized she had reached the threshold of mid-stage level ninety-four.
• A beam of light emerged from an old pocket watch in Bibi Dong's seclusion chamber, forming a phantom that her twin domains could not repel.
• Bibi Dong summoned her martial soul and asked the phantom who it was.

The Goddess of Goodness offered Bibi Dong the chance to inherit her God position, but Bibi Dong refused because she was focused on cultivating and bringing Chen Yue back. The Goddess, desperate to find a qualified heir and escape her long stay in the God Realm, tried to stop Bibi Dong from leaving.

• The Goddess of Goodness offered Bibi Dong her God position, but Bibi Dong said she was not interested.
• Bibi Dong explained nothing and turned to leave, planning to find another cultivation room.
• The Goddess of Goodness realized Bibi Dong genuinely did not want the position and panicked at the thought of losing a qualified heir.
• The Goddess of Goodness explained the strict requirements for inheriting her position and pleaded with Bibi Dong to believe she was a deity.

The God of Goodness offered Bibi Dong a chance to inherit her godhood, but Bibi Dong refused to decide immediately and accepted a pocket watch that could trigger the assessment if it saved her life. Back in the God Realm, the God of Goodness argued with the God of Evil about human nature and proposed a bet.

• The God of Goodness offered Bibi Dong a divine trial, but Bibi Dong declined to begin the assessment.
• The God of Goodness gave Bibi Dong a pocket watch containing her divine consciousness, which could save Bibi Dong once and automatically start the inheritance assessment.
• The God of Goodness returned to her temple and complained that Bibi Dong was difficult to persuade.
• The God of Evil challenged the God of Goodness’s belief that humans could love, and she proposed a bet.

The Goddess of Goodness and the God of Evil made a binding wager over whether Bibi Dong would keep loving her man despite his infidelity. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Chen Yue reached level seventy after three months of consuming immortal herbs, but he still needed a seventh Soul Ring to advance further.

• The Goddess of Goodness and the God of Evil wagered that she would give up her inheritor if she lost, while he would leave that inheritor's trials alone and guard the God Realm for a hundred years if he lost.
• The God of Evil confidently believed Bibi Dong would turn against her man after learning about his other women.
• Chen Yue spent three months identifying and consuming immortal herbs in the herb garden at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Chen Yue's Soul Power reached level seventy, but he could not advance further until he obtained his seventh Soul Ring.

Chen Yue emerged from seclusion in the herb garden after his Innate Soul Power rose to level eight, only to surprise Yu Tianheng, who had come to see Dugu Yan. Yu Tianheng learned that Chen Yue had been there all along and nervously backed down when Chen Yue threatened his pointing hand.

• Chen Yue checked his status and found that his Innate Soul Power had increased to level eight.
• Chen Yue left the herb garden and encountered Yu Tianheng outside his wooden residence.
• Yu Tianheng pointed at Chen Yue and demanded to know why he was there.
• Chen Yue warned Yu Tianheng about his hand, and Yu Tianheng quickly pulled it back.
• Dugu Yan told Yu Tianheng that Chen Yue had been there all along, leaving Yu Tianheng speechless.

Yu Tianheng arrived at Dugu Yan’s residence and found Chen Yue staying there, undermining his hopes of gaining Dugu Bo’s support through his engagement. Chen Yue told Dugu Yan to come to his room after she cleared things up, leaving Yu Tianheng stunned and furious.

• Yu Tianheng worried that his broken arm, tarnished reputation, and Liu Erlong’s growing influence had weakened his chances of becoming clan head.

• Chen Yue told Dugu Yan to come to his room after speaking with Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianheng stared at her in disbelief.

Chen Yue prepared to teach Dugu Yan the Spirit Light Technique in a private cabin, while Yu Tianheng misunderstood the situation and accused them of impropriety. Dugu Yan dismissed his suspicions, believing Chen Yue was only helping her out of gratitude to her grandfather, and kept her family's secret about her martial-soul poison.

• Chen Yue decided to teach Dugu Yan the Spirit Light Technique while explaining martial-soul theory in a cabin.
• Yu Tianheng was shocked when Dugu Yan said she was going to Chen Yue's room, while Chen Yue went inside to change clothes.
• Dugu Yan questioned Yu Tianheng's state of mind and offered to have her grandfather find a healing Soul Master to examine him.
• Yu Tianheng called the situation inappropriate, but Dugu Yan believed Chen Yue was only repaying her grandfather's kindness and dismissed him.
• Dugu Yan kept silent about the poison in her martial soul, following her grandfather's instruction to guard the Dugu family's secret.

Dugu Yan concealed her family’s vulnerability to their own poison and went to begin instruction with Chen Yue, leaving Yu Tianheng outside. Yu Tianheng tried to interrupt, but Dugu Bo lifted him away before he could act.

• Dugu Yan decided not to tell Yu Tianheng that the Dugu family could be killed by their own martial-soul poison, believing her martial-soul evolution would eventually heal the poison.
• Chen Yue wondered why using Spirit Exaltation Technique on Dugu Yan cost less lifespan than using it on Dugu Bo or himself.
• Dugu Yan entered Chen Yue’s room and agreed to call him Instructor as they began their lesson.
• Yu Tianheng followed Dugu Yan and grew furious after hearing her and Chen Yue discuss teaching materials behind the closed door.
• Yu Tianheng prepared to kick the door open, but Dugu Bo lifted him off the ground with an icy stare.

Dugu Bo threw Yu Tianheng out after he interrupted the secluded cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. In Spirit City, Bibi Dong emerged from seclusion at level ninety-five, astonished by how quickly she had cultivated.

• Yu Tianheng barged toward Dugu Bo’s wooden house and was lifted off the ground by Dugu Bo.
• Dugu Bo demanded to know what Yu Tianheng had said, then flung him through the poisonous mist barrier.
• Dugu Bo reinforced the barrier to keep Yu Tianheng from disrupting Dugu Yan’s evolution.
• Bibi Dong left her seclusion chamber in the Pope’s Palace and announced that she had reached level ninety-five.
• Bibi Dong wondered whether even a Soul Master born with level thirty Soul Power could cultivate as quickly as she had.

• Bibi Dong ordered the guard to summon the Judgment Elder so she could seek full authority to deploy the other Titled Douluo.
• The guard told Bibi Dong that the Judgment Elder was also recovering from injuries in the Worship Hall.

• Bibi Dong questioned whether a Super Douluo could have been defeated so badly, but the guard said he did not know exactly what had happened.

• Thousand Jun Falling Devil and his brother brought Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo to the Worship Hall.
• Qian Daoliu asked the two Douluo what had happened, and Demon Bear Douluo began explaining that he knew only a little.

Qian Daoliu questioned Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo about the unfamiliar Titled Douluo who had defeated Chrysanthemum Douluo. Ghost Leopard began explaining that Qian Xunji had pursued the stranger outside Spirit City.

• Qian Daoliu learned that Chrysanthemum Douluo was unconscious in the Angel Divine Hall, recovering from severe poison injuries.
• Demon Bear Douluo reported finding Moon Elder defeated by an unfamiliar Titled Douluo and choosing not to attack because the stranger had shown no hostility toward Spirit Hall.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo said he had arrived after Moon Elder was taken away and had also avoided fighting the stronger stranger.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo explained that the unfamiliar Titled Douluo left Spirit City, but Qian Xunji rushed after him with murderous intent.

After learning how Qian Xunji and Chrysanthemum Douluo were defeated, Qian Daoliu ordered an investigation into the unknown Title Douluo. The supposed stranger was revealed to be Dugu Bo, who recovered in Sunset Forest and reflected on how close his fight with Qian Xunji had been.

• A Worship Hall guard explained that Qian Xunji had gone to find Chrysanthemum Douluo, only to learn he was unconscious and then get beaten by an unfamiliar Title Douluo.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo found Qian Xunji unconscious and brought him back to Spirit City rather than risk confronting the powerful stranger.

• Dugu Bo returned to Sunset Forest after defeating two Title Douluo and estimated his injuries would take ten days to half a month to heal.
• Dugu Bo recalled that Qian Xunji had forced him to use his ninth soul skill and that his mutated Medusa soul bone had helped him survive.

Dugu Bo recovered at Chen Yue’s home after defeating Chrysanthemum Douluo and Qian Xunji, while Yu Tianheng returned to his clan shaken by what he had learned about his fiancée. Yu Tianheng decided to seek help from Yu Xiaogang, who had arrived in Heaven Dou City with his injured students.

• Dugu Bo celebrated beating Chrysanthemum Douluo and Qian Xunji, then hid at Chen Yue’s home to recover and keep Yu Tianheng away from his granddaughter.
