Chapter Summaries

After lamenting the limits of being the Gu Family’s live-in son-in-law, Chen Yue was knocked unconscious and caught up in an unexpected encounter involving Erlong and Flander. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo arrived to abduct him but recognized the people involved and watched in confusion.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo decided to claim they had discovered something in Skywater City and vanished into the night.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo arrived to knock Chen Yue out, but stopped when they noticed a woman and recognized her as someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo recalled how Chen Yue’s experiment changed Liu Yanlong and Flander’s martial souls, while Yu Xiaogang’s theories contributed to the Golden Iron Triangle’s breakup. Years later, Liu Yanlong’s claim that she had married Flander came under scrutiny, and Yu Luomian issued her an ultimatum.

• Chen Yue had once verbally humiliated Yu Xiaogang at Spirit Hall, and guards badly injured Flander when Liu Yanlong and Flander protested.

• Yu Luomian noticed that Liu Yanlong had no children despite the years passing and issued her an ultimatum.

Liu Erlong and Flander tracked down Chen Yue, hoping he could help resolve their impossible marriage and childbearing dilemma. Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo witnessed their encounter, then decided to continue with their original plan elsewhere.

• Yu Yuanzhen restored Liu Erlong's mother to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's genealogy, buried her ashes in the clan grounds, and let Liu Erlong execute the men who had framed her.
• Flander suggested Chen Yue as someone Liu Erlong might accept, and they tracked him from Spirit Hall to Skywater City.
• After Bibi Dong left, Liu Erlong ambushed Chen Yue in a grove while Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo watched from hiding.
• Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo considered whether the scene could help them complete their task but worried it would cause trouble for Liu Erlong and Chen Yue.
• Ghost Douluo abandoned the idea and told Chrysanthemum Douluo to proceed with their original plan to bring suitable candidates into a secret chamber in a Spirit Hall temple.

Chen Yue woke up battered in a burned patch of grass and discovered that his Soul Power had risen to level forty-nine and his Innate Soul Power to level two.

• Chen Yue learned he had been missing for a week and heard that his vital energy and blood were depleted.
• Gu Qingmo asked Chen Yue whether he knew what had happened, and he admitted that he might have been drugged.
• Gu Qingmo's shout shocked Gu Qingbo outside the door and caused Gu Qingxue, who had been hanging from the ceiling, to hit Chen Yue and knock him out.
• Gu Qingmo left to explain the situation to Gu Qinghan, dragging Gu Qingbo away when she tried to eavesdrop.
• Gu Qingxue looked at Chen Yue and wondered whether he had truly been so exhausting that Gu Qinghan slept for four days and four nights.

• Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo reported the pregnancy to Qian Xunji, who approved and said the young man had finally settled down.

Gu Qingbo told him he had been hired to teach about soul rings at Heavenly Water Academy and that she and the others were training for the Soul Master Competition.

• Qian Xunji planned to pair Chen Yue with Tang Xiao’s younger sister so the Clear Sky Sect might kill Chen Yue or Bibi Dong might abandon him.

• Gu Qingbo said that she and the others were an intensive training team for the Soul Master Competition.

• Chen Yue met Principal Shui Bingyue, who asked him to summon his martial soul and soul rings.
• Shui Bingyue stopped speaking when purple and black lights appeared in the office.

Chen Yue revealed his extraordinary Soul Ring configuration to Shui Bingyue, then completed his employment paperwork and prepared to begin teaching at Heavenly Water Academy. He returned to the dormitory, where his neighbors wondered who had moved in next door.

Chen Yue went to the Advanced Academy to use the Spirit Light Technique on Xue Wu and help the young students develop their Martial Souls. He arrived while Xue Wu was sparring with Shui Yuer, and she collapsed after her Soul Power was unexpectedly drained.

• Chen Yue decided to teach the first-year class normally rather than tease the students, planning to use the Spirit Light Technique to help them grow.
• Chen Yue reasoned that the technique worked by using his lifespan to temper and restore its targets, while his earlier theories served as smokescreens for the Worship Hall.

• Xue Wu sparred with Shui Yuer as part of the Skywater Battle Team's training, while Shui Bing'er and Shui Yuer were already assured places on the team.

After Xue Wu overexerted her Soul Power, Shui Yuer helped her rest while the instructor announced that the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team would visit Heavenly Water Academy for an exchange.

• The instructor said Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would bring the team and ordered the girls to settle their selections before the visit.
• Shui Yuer offered to take Xue Wu back to the dormitory, and Shui Bing'er told Gu Qingbo to go with them.

Gu Qingbo left Xue Wu in Chen Yue’s arms, hoping to secure her as his first concubine to earn access to Gu Qinghan’s Mimicry Training Room. Xue Wu’s reaction stirred memories of the Title Douluo who had threatened her into approaching a man, leaving her heart in turmoil.

• Gu Qingbo teased Chen Yue about calling him Uncle, then passed Xue Wu to him to avoid being hit.

• Gu Qingbo watched Xue Wu blush in Chen Yue’s arms and celebrated, believing she had secured his first concubine.
• Gu Qingbo left cheerfully, already planning how to pair Chen Yue with another of her friends.
• Xue Wu recalled how a Title Douluo had threatened to destroy her family unless she lured a man into a grove.

Xue Wu recognized Chen Yue as the man who had threatened her in the past, while Chen Yue realized she had been coerced and concealed the truth to protect her from scandal. He offered to examine her condition and carried her to his office when she could no longer walk.

• Xue Wu remembered that a Titled Douluo had threatened her family and given her gold soul coins after coercing her, and she had hidden the pouch in her dormitory.

• Chen Yue laid Xue Wu on his office sofa and asked her to put her hand on the table so he could examine her.

Chen Yue recalled why he had rejected Bibi Dong’s offer to flee Spirit Hall, then discovered that Xue Wu was pregnant. He suggested she withdraw from the training squad selection and join his martial soul research while he arranged a place for her on the Soul Master Competition Team.

• Chen Yue remembered fearing that Bibi Dong’s attempt to leave Spirit Hall could provoke Qian Xunji and the Worship Hall, so he had rejected her proposal because they were too weak to escape.
• Xue Wu interrupted Chen Yue while he was taking her pulse, and he realized that his hand had ended up on her shoulder.
• Chen Yue told Xue Wu that she was pregnant, leaving her shocked as she remembered that something had happened between them.

• Chen Yue proposed applying for an exception to put Xue Wu on the Soul Master Competition Team, where she could compete as a substitute after giving birth.

• Chen Yue told Xue Wu he would keep her pregnancy confidential except for informing the academy head, and said she could help prove his research to the academy.

• Xue Wu was shocked that Chen Yue's purple rings were three-thousand-year soul rings and apologized for doubting him.
• Chen Yue asked Xue Wu to become his registered disciple, and she was dumbfounded because he was the father of the child she carried.

Chen Yue pressured Xue Wu into accepting him as her mentor, then began teaching her his theory about soul-ring absorption. He asked for gold soul coins to demonstrate the next point, leaving Xue Wu unsure how to explain the coins she had.

• Chen Yue reassured Xue Wu that becoming his disciple would be worth the effect on her reputation.
• Xue Wu reluctantly offered Chen Yue tea and chose to conceal what had happened by accepting him as her master.
• Chen Yue began explaining that a person's physical stamina and tolerance affected how many years a soul ring could have.
• Chen Yue asked Xue Wu whether she had any gold soul coins, and she stopped before taking them from her storage pouch because she could not explain where they came from.
