Chapter Summaries

Ye Wen demonstrated his Fifth Soul Skill, Power of Creation, and Dugu Bo let him decide what to do with the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. They traveled to the Breaking Clan's territory in the Star Luo Empire, where Dugu Bo announced himself and asked to meet Yang Wudi.

• Breaking Clan disciples confronted the visitors, but a Soul Saint calmed them and asked their purpose.
• Dugu Bo identified himself and asked the disciples to summon Yang Wudi.

Dugu Bo and Ye Wen visited the Breaking Clan to invite it into the Medical Alliance, but Yang Wudi rejected them because his clan no longer trusted powerful factions or wanted to be drawn into their conflicts.

• Yang Wudi told Ye Wen that the Breaking Clan’s past betrayal had left it unwilling to trust outsiders or become involved in factional disputes.
• Dugu Bo insisted that the Medical Alliance intended to remain neutral, but Yang Wudi argued that other factions would force it to take sides during a major conflict.

Ye Wen tried to persuade Yang Wudi to join the Medical Alliance by warning that the Breaking Clan could be endangered in a future war, then challenged his faith in the Star Luo Empire’s protection. He revealed what he knew about Spirit Hall’s divisions and hinted that its mysterious Worship Hall concealed powerful Titled Douluo, leaving Yang Wudi alarmed and questioning the scale of Spirit Hall’s strength.

• Ye Wen warned Yang Wudi that the Star Luo Empire might force the Breaking Clan into war and that the clan would be vulnerable if Yang Wudi died.

• Ye Wen questioned whether the Star Luo Empire could protect the Breaking Clan if it could not defend itself, making Yang Wudi reconsider Spirit Hall’s growing confidence.
• Ye Wen described Spirit Hall’s Pontiff’s Palace and Elder Hall, claiming that at least nine Titled Douluo served as elders.
• Ye Wen suggested that powerful Titled Douluo who vanished from public view had joined the Worship Hall, and Yang Wudi rejected the idea that they had died of old age or in battle.

Ye Wen tried to recruit Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan into the Medical Alliance by explaining its strength and neutral stance. Yang Wudi was impressed, and Ye Wen outlined how the Alliance would avoid being dragged into a war with Spirit Hall.

• Ye Wen warned Yang Wudi that Spirit Hall had at least five Super Douluos capable of destroying the Star Luo Imperial Family.
• Ye Wen described the Medical Alliance’s Titled Douluos, its alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Granny Yue’s strength to persuade Yang Wudi to join.

• Ye Wen said the Medical Alliance would withdraw its personnel if war broke out while continuing to make medicine for factions to collect themselves.

Ye Wen persuaded Yang Wudi to join the Medical Alliance by promising the Breaking Clan protection and offering him poison-immunity perfume. Yang Wudi agreed but demanded a chance to establish his clan’s standing, and Ye Wen presented a token whose purpose remained to be revealed.

• Yang Wudi questioned whether the Medical Alliance would be safe after the war, and Ye Wen argued that its strength, neutrality, and open affiliations would deter future rulers from attacking it.
• Ye Wen offered Yang Wudi a bottle of Aromatic Silk Beauty perfume, whose poison-resisting properties could protect the Breaking Clan during alchemy, and Yang Wudi eagerly took it.
• Yang Wudi agreed to join the Medical Alliance but challenged its members to prove their strength so he could secure a foothold for his clan.
• Ye Wen stopped Dugu Bo from accepting Yang Wudi’s challenge and explained that alliance leadership required Titled Douluo cultivation, while promising not to slight the Breaking Clan.
• Ye Wen showed Yang Wudi a round token with ten spaces, three of which held the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, the Nine Heart Begonia, and a crest bearing the character Huo.

Ye Wen persuaded Yang Wudi to bring the Breaking Clan into the Medical Alliance, whose growing strength alarmed Spirit Hall and the two great empires. The Alliance remained neutral as its business and reputation spread, while Ye Wen turned his attention to Bai He and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng he possessed.

• Ye Wen explained that the Medical Alliance Master Token would limit Alliance Master candidates to martial souls with Titled Douluo potential, and Yang Wudi formally joined the Medical Alliance on behalf of the Breaking Clan.
• Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen heard that the Alliance had four Titled Douluo-level combatants, while Spirit Hall and the two great empires became wary of its ambitions.
• Spirit Hall refrained from attacking the neutral Alliance, and the two great empires failed to recruit it or turn it against each other.
• The Medical Alliance continued trading with soul masters, opening shops among commoners, and treating civilians across the continent.
• Ye Wen considered Bai He a wasteful clan head who had let the Speed Clan depend on the Breaking Clan, but he wanted the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng Bai He possessed.

Ye Wen investigated Tang San’s rapid cultivation and Bai He’s unexplained trip, then spent half a year training while helping the Blue Silver Kings recover at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He believed he still had time to surpass Tang San and become a god first.

• Ye Wen asked Yang Wudi why Bai He had gone to the Heaven Dou Empire, but Yang Wudi did not know.
• Ye Wen learned that Bai Chenxiang was at Shrek Academy and discovered Tang San had reached Level 42 before turning fifteen.
• Ye Wen concluded Tang San had obtained the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which boosted cultivation but lacked the deeper benefits of other Immortal Herbs.
• Ye Wen devoted the next half year to rigorous cultivation while using his Blue Silver Domain to help the Blue Silver King recover at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Ye Wen gathered the other Blue Silver Kings there with Dugu Bo’s help and taunted Tang San for being unable to handle the Blue Silver Emperor.

Ye Wen watched the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament open from the imperial stands, where Heaven Dou Team One already held a direct place in the finals. As the draw paired Shrek against Heaven Dou Team Two, Ye Wen doubted Shrek could overcome his team and began considering how to handle Tang San in future matches.

• Ye Wen stayed in Heaven Dou City until the tournament’s main group was ready to travel to Spirit City, then watched the opening ceremony beside Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Bo.
• Xue Ye declared the tournament open, Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo gave brief remarks, and Salas drew the matchups.
• Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo avoided naming their favored teams while spectators weighed Heaven Dou’s prospects against Ye Wen’s group of talented youths.
• The draw matched Shrek against the famously weak Heaven Dou Team Two, and the crowd erupted over Shrek’s conspicuous yellow uniforms and the suspiciously lopsided pairing.
• Ye Wen reflected on Shrek’s leaders and Bibi Dong’s knowledge of Twin Martial Souls, then considered how his team would deal with Tang San and the others.

Salas swore that his drawing was fair, then offered finalists from the academies a place in Spirit Hall, provoking alarm among Heaven Dou’s leaders. Ye Wen dismissed most of the Five Great Element Academies but recognized Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er as exceptional talents worth watching.

• Salas swore upon Spirit Hall’s honor that his drawing had been fair.
• Salas announced that any competing student who reached the grand finals could join Spirit Hall, alarming Xue Ye and the assembled academies.
• Ning Fengzhi signaled Xue Ye to hold back, while Ye Wen considered how he would protect his future father-in-law’s family if Spirit Hall retaliated.
• Ye Wen judged the younger generations of Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy to be unimpressive, especially criticizing Feng Xiaotian for neglecting cultivation.
• Ye Wen identified Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er of Skywater Academy as powerful future fighters because of Shui Bing’er’s Ice Phoenix Martial Soul and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Ye Wen identified Shui Bing'er and her younger sister as exceptional recruits for the Medical Alliance, while Heaven Dou’s attempt to recruit Shui Bing'er failed. After Shrek defeated Heaven Dou Academy’s second team, Emperor Xue Ye grew increasingly hostile toward Shrek.

• Dugu Bo teased Ye Wen after noticing him watching Skywater Academy, and Ye Wen said he wanted to recruit its captain, Shui Bing'er.
• Ye Wen told the viewing stand that Shui Bing'er was a level 43 Ice Phoenix Soul Master with Titled Douluo potential and that she and her younger sister had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Emperor Xue Ye sent Prince Xue Xing to recruit Shui Bing'er, but Xue Xing returned without success.
• Shrek defeated Heaven Dou Academy’s second team while most spectators watched Skywater Academy, and Ye Wen criticized Shrek for humiliating Heaven Dou.
• Emperor Xue Ye grew angry at Shrek and thought of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while Ye Wen asked Ning Fengzhi whether he wanted to try recruiting Shui Bing'er.

Ning Fengzhi teased Ye Wen about his wives before Ye Wen left, while Skywater Academy learned that Shui Bing'er's hidden Ice Phoenix Martial Soul had been exposed. The chapter ended with the accompanying teacher recalling the dean's warning that even the Heaven Dou Empire might not be able to protect Shui Bing'er if her true potential became known.

• Ning Fengzhi joked that Ye Wen had bullied his father-in-law and warned him not to pursue Skywater Academy's girls, and Ye Wen left without arguing back.
• Skywater Team members learned that Shui Bing'er possessed the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul rather than the Condensing Water Flying Luan they had assumed she had.
• The accompanying teacher realized Shui Bing'er's information had been exposed and feared that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might threaten her if she grew powerful enough to challenge its prestige.
• The accompanying teacher recalled the dean's warning that Skywater Academy and Shui Bing'er might not be safe even under the Heaven Dou Empire's protection.

The Skywater Family’s leader weighed the dangers of Shui Bing’er’s hidden talent, while Ye Wen visited Skywater Academy to offer the family a place in the Medical Alliance and guarantee its safety. Skywater Academy won its opening match, and Ye Wen later returned to the chairman’s platform alone, leaving the other leaders unsure whether his offer had succeeded.

• The Skywater Family’s leader considered how revealing Shui Bing’er’s talent could invite assassination or a forced marriage alliance, and recognized that Ye Wen’s disclosure had placed the family in danger.
• Ye Wen visited the Skywater Team’s room and told Shui Bing’er and the team leader that the Medical Alliance wanted to offer the Shui Family membership, not force it to join.
• Ye Wen promised that no force would target the Shui Family, whether or not it joined, and said he would visit the family with his teacher that night.
• Shui Yue'er swooned over Ye Wen, while his assurance eased the Skywater Team’s fears after Prince Xue Xing’s earlier visit.
• Skywater Academy briefly struggled with unsettled nerves but won its opening match without difficulty.
• Ye Wen returned alone to the chairman’s platform, where most leaders assumed he had failed to recruit Skywater, but Ning Fengzhi suspected he had a plan.

After the matches, Ye Wen brought Dugu Bo to Element City to negotiate with the Shui, Fire, and Wind Families, whose leaders considered joining the Medical Alliance to protect their interests. The families waited to hear the alliance’s terms as Ye Wen arrived and made a courteous first impression.

• Ning Fengzhi asked Ye Wen about recruitment, and Ye Wen said it was practically guaranteed while Xue Ye silently resented his success.
• After the matches ended, Ye Wen brought Dugu Bo to Element City to meet the leaders of the Shui, Fire, and Wind Families.
• Shui Rou'er apologized for keeping her family’s connection to a future Titled Douluo secret, while Huo Lie and Feng You accepted her explanation and discussed their response.
• The three leaders weighed the threat a Titled Douluo posed and agreed to hear Dugu Bo’s terms before deciding whether to join the Medical Alliance.
• Ye Wen arrived with Dugu Bo, presented his calling card, and impressed the three leaders with his courteous manner.

Ye Wen negotiated the Water, Fire, and Wind Families’ entry into the Medical Alliance, denying them its highest status unless they reached Titled Douluo strength. Afterward, Shui Rou'er found Shui Bing'er waiting at Skywater Academy and reassured her that she had not promised her to anyone in marriage.

• Shui Rou'er and the other family leaders offered to join the Medical Alliance, and Ye Wen explained that only those with Titled Douluo-level cultivation or strength could have their crests placed on the Alliance Master Token.
• Shui Rou'er asked Ye Wen to grant the Shui Family an early place because Shui Bing'er would eventually become a Titled Douluo, but Ye Wen refused to make an exception.
• Shui Rou'er and the other leaders agreed to join, and Ye Wen offered their academies paid roles as training sites for suitable Medical Alliance soul masters.
• After leaving the negotiations, Shui Rou'er encountered Shui Bing'er at Skywater Academy and told her she had not promised her in marriage.

Shui Rou'er decided to keep Shui Bing'er as the Shui Family’s future head and bring the Shui, Fire, and Wind Families into the Medical Alliance. As the Soul Master Tournament continued, Tianshui defeated Shrek, while Qian Renxue resolved to recruit Ye Wen and the alliance.

• Shui Rou'er weighed Shui Bing'er’s prospects against Ye Wen’s powerful fiancées and concluded that joining the Medical Alliance offered the Shui Family a better path than marrying Shui Bing'er off.
• Shui Rou'er told Shui Bing'er she would remain the family’s future head, but urged her to cultivate toward Titled Douluo strength so the family could qualify as a core family.
• The Shui, Fire, and Wind Families joined the Medical Alliance, prompting Xue Ye to lament that he could not control the neutral faction and Qian Renxue to plan to recruit Ye Wen.
• Tang San continued leading Shrek to victories with Tang Sect techniques, but Blazing Fire Academy and Tianshui gave him setbacks.
• Blazing Fire Academy lost to Shrek, while Tianshui used its Ice Phoenix Martial Soul to crush Shrek.

After the regional matches, Ye Wen reflected on the three major powers and resolved to become a god within ten years. Dugu Bo summoned him to meet Qian Renxue, whose late-night visit left Ye Wen openly displeased.

• Emperor Xue Ye appointed Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to judge the Soul Master Tournament and gave the teams three days to prepare before traveling to Spirit City.
• Ye Wen questioned the purpose of the Royal Knights escort and later learned Spirit Hall had sent Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and other soul masters to ambush the teams.
• Ye Wen considered the weaknesses of Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall, then decided he might have to rely on himself to protect the continent and those around him.
• A servant told Ye Wen that Dugu Bo wanted to see him, and Ye Wen went to the main hall.
• Dugu Bo explained that Qian Renxue had business with Ye Wen, who greeted her coldly and asked what brought her there so late.

Qian Renxue brought Gelon to meet Dugu Bo, where the Heaven Dou Empire’s marshal asked for help breaking through to Titled Douluo. Dugu Bo rejected Gelon’s request and blasted him from the hall after Gelon revealed he knew the Medical Alliance had helped Chen Gang.

• Qian Renxue used signals to summon a cloaked visitor to Dugu Bo’s residence, and Gelon revealed himself as the Heaven Dou Empire’s marshal.
• Gelon asked Dugu Bo for guidance on breaking through from rank eighty-nine to Titled Douluo, offering rewards from himself and the Imperial Family.
• Dugu Bo dismissed Gelon’s request and opened the hall, but Gelon cited Chen Gang’s breakthrough and Martial Soul Evolution as proof the Medical Alliance could help.
• Dugu Bo grew angry at Gelon’s investigation and blasted him out of the hall with Soul Power.
• Gelon continued offering soul bones and rare treasures, while Dugu Bo laughed at the idea of trading a chance to become a Titled Douluo for them.

Gelon pressed Ye Wen and Dugu Bo for the Medical Alliance’s method of breaking through to Titled Douluo. After Ye Wen learned that Gelon already possessed six Soul Bones, Gelon challenged his explanation and revealed knowledge of Chen Gang’s breakthrough, leaving Ye Wen and Dugu Bo wary of spies within the Alliance.

• Dugu Bo ordered Gelon to leave, but Ye Wen stopped him and agreed to discuss Gelon’s request.
• Ye Wen asked whether Gelon possessed a complete set of Soul Bones, and Gelon confirmed that he had all six.
• Ye Wen claimed the Alliance’s breakthrough method required a peak Soul Douluo to absorb a high-quality Soul Bone, making it useless to Gelon unless he obtained another External Soul Bone.
• Gelon challenged Ye Wen’s claim by citing Chen Gang’s two Soul Bones and demanding the true method.
• Ye Wen and Dugu Bo realized that a spy had exposed a core Alliance secret, while Ye Wen considered how to mislead Gelon.

Ye Wen used the knowledge of Immortal Herbs to negotiate with Gelon, refusing to share it without a steep price. Xue Ye approved the exchange of three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, but Qian Renxue later discovered Chrysanthemum Douluo also knew about Immortal Herbs.

• Ye Wen told Gelon about Immortal Herbs and claimed he had no herbs left, but offered to show his inheritance manual in exchange for three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.
• Gelon balked at the price, and Qian Renxue proposed returning to consult Xue Ye before making a decision.
• Xue Ye agreed to pay three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones for the Immortal Herb knowledge.
• Qian Renxue returned to Spirit City and learned that Chrysanthemum Douluo also possessed knowledge of Immortal Herbs.

On the journey to Spirit City, the Heaven Dou tournament procession was ambushed by a coordinated force of Soul Masters. Ye Wen’s team and Shrek Academy fought off the attackers effectively, drawing the attention of their strongest members.

• Ye Wen sensed a sinister aura near two hills, and the Royal Knights captain stopped the procession as boulders began raining down.
• The Royal Knights led the group out of the narrow pass while teachers shielded the students, but thousands of black-clad attackers soon charged from the hills.
• The attackers, all at least Soul Elders, coordinated their assault and quickly overwhelmed the student teams, forcing teachers to use their Martial Soul Avatars.
• Huo Yu’er used Illusion Sight to make attackers strike their own companions, keeping Ye Wen’s team safe.
• Tang San and Shrek Academy killed attackers with Godly Zhuge Crossbows and poisoned hidden weapons, attracting the attention of the enemy’s strongest fighters.
