Chapter Summaries

Li Tianlan and his companions forced Xue Changhe to pay a total of forty million Gold Soul Coins before turning to Li Tianlan’s Soul Power test. The test produced legendary golden light, leaving the teacher stunned as he explained the rarity of Soul Power of that quality.

• Xiao Wu demanded compensation from Xue Changhe, and Bena broke his arm when he claimed he had no money.
• Dugu Yan threatened Xue Changhe, who recognized her as Dugu Bo’s granddaughter and agreed to pay.
• Li Tianlan demanded thirty million Gold Soul Coins, bringing Xue Changhe’s IOUs to forty million, then kicked him away.
• Li Tianlan asked the teacher to begin his Soul Power test and poured his Soul Power into the crystal ball.
• The crystal ball shone with golden light, and the teacher explained that such Soul Power quality was nearly legendary.

Li Tianlan, Bena, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Wu completed Soul Power and strength tests, impressing the assessment teacher with their abilities. After the teacher told them the assessment would begin the next day, they headed out together to find barbecue.

• Dugu Yan and Bena tested their Soul Power and produced pale purple glows, while Xiao Wu's glow was light yellow.
• Li Tianlan reasoned that his and the others' Soul Power quality was unusually high because it had been tempered.
• Li Tianlan lifted a five-hundred-kilogram barbell with one hand, and Bena lifted the same weight overhead, so both passed the strength test.
• Xiao Wu first failed to move the barbell, then used her Soul Power to lift it and proudly asked Li Tianlan if she was impressive.
• The teacher gave Li Tianlan and the others their assessment cards and told them to arrive on time the next day.
• Li Tianlan led Bena, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan away from the examination grounds, and they agreed to go to a nearby barbecue restaurant.

Titan hired Black Snake Douluo to assassinate Li Tianlan, agreeing to pay two treasures from the Strength Clan’s treasury. Meanwhile, Li Tianlan, Dugu Yan, Bena, and Xiao Wu arrived at Dugu Feng’s barbecue restaurant, where Li Tianlan offered his host a gift.

• Dugu Feng offered to treat the group, but Li Tianlan accepted her hospitality and offered her a small gift.

Li Tianlan gave Dugu Feng a bottle of Body Tempering Fluid, and she discovered it was a rare Divine Medicine Tower product. After learning he had sold fifty bottles of a weaker version far below its black-market value, Li Tianlan realized he had lost a fortune, while Dugu Feng began preparing food for Dugu Yan and their guests.

• Li Tianlan gave Dugu Feng Body Tempering Fluid and said it could help people with zero Innate Soul Power cultivate.
• Dugu Feng recognized the bottle as a Divine Medicine Tower product, and Li Tianlan revealed hers was a scrap version with only one-tenth the effects of the official one.
• Dugu Feng told Li Tianlan that the scrap version was selling for four million Gold Soul Coins on the Black Market, and he calculated that he had lost nearly 200 million Gold Soul Coins on fifty bottles.
• Dugu Feng mentioned that Li Tianlan had cured her grandfather's Innate Poison, while Dugu Yan asked her to make grilled Earth Bear paw.
• Dugu Feng prepared the bear paw as nearby cultivators praised her cooking, while Li Tianlan wondered whether it was really as good as they claimed.

After tasting Dugu Yan's roasted bear paw, Li Tianlan went to Heaven Dou City's Black Market to find out what his Divine Medicine Tower pills were worth. He revealed six types of genuine pills to a shopkeeper, attracting the attention of people who might try to seize them.

• Li Tianlan savored Dugu Yan's roasted bear paw while Xiao Yan urged him to build a solid foundation before pursuing level 100.

• Li Tianlan asked a medicine shop's old shopkeeper about Divine Medicine Tower pills, then offered to sell some of his own.
• The shopkeeper considered killing Li Tianlan for the valuable pills, but Li Tianlan sensed his intent and displayed six types of pills instead.
• The shopkeeper recognized the pills as genuine and exclaimed in shock at how many Li Tianlan had.

Li Tianlan learned that his pills were worth nearly forty million Gold Soul Coins on the Black Market and escaped a shopkeeper who planned to ambush him. He then spotted enslaved girls from Sun Moon Continent and became intrigued by the continent’s Soul Tools and its apparent proximity to Douluo Continent.

• The shopkeeper valued Li Tianlan’s six bottles of pills at thirty-nine million three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins and tried to discover how many more he had.
• Li Tianlan realized the shopkeeper planned to summon Soul Emperor-level experts and seize his pills, so he fled the pharmacy using Three Thousand Lightning Movement.
• The shopkeeper released his yellow pug martial soul and followed Li Tianlan’s scent after other Soul Masters searched the area.
• Li Tianlan stopped at an auction where a merchant offered twenty enslaved girls from Sun Moon Continent.
• Li Tianlan recognized the name Sun Moon Continent and wondered whether it was already close to Douluo Continent, then focused on the Soul Tools that might surpass Tang San’s Hidden Weapons.

Li Tianlan confronted a slave trader selling twenty female slaves from the Sun Moon Continent and refused to pay for them, declaring that he would free them. After defeating and killing one of the trader’s Soul King guards, he turned to face the stunned slave trader.

• Li Tianlan decided to intervene in the sale of the female slaves and claimed that they belonged to him.

• Li Tianlan told the twenty female slaves to come with him and noticed that their leader seemed numb and lifeless.
• Seven Soul Saints descended and surrounded Li Tianlan, warning him that he could not leave the Black Market.

Li Tianlan fought a seven-member Soul Saint squad and targeted its Support System Soul Master to break their teamwork. After killing the support, two defenders, and the red-haired captain, Li Tianlan pursued another fleeing Soul Saint.

• A Soul Saint threatened Li Tianlan and mocked him, so Li Tianlan decided to kill the squad.
• Li Tianlan identified Black Elder as the Support System Soul Master, and the red-haired captain ordered two Black Tortoise Soul Saints to protect him.
• Li Tianlan bypassed the defenders, destroyed the captain’s arrow, pierced Black Elder through the fused defensive shield, and cut the two Black Tortoise Soul Saints in half.
• The remaining Soul Saints fled in different directions, but Li Tianlan hurled his spear through the red-haired captain’s head.
• Li Tianlan used Three Thousand Lightning Movement to chase another Soul Saint, who despaired as Li Tianlan caught up.

• Qian Renxue heard that Li Tianlan had killed five Soul Saints and threatened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the Golden-Haired Girl called him reckless.
• Qian Renxue said Li Tianlan might not be able to destroy the clan yet, but the clan could not kill him.

• The Golden-Haired Girl persuaded Qian Renxue to team up against the four girls around Li Tianlan and share him between them.

• Li Tianlan, Bena, and Xiao Wu arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s testing area, where tens of thousands of students had gathered.

Tiandu Academy instructor Xu Shi'ang explained the first assessment, an elimination round in the Spiral Forest where candidates had to collect Score Stones. After being teleported into the forest alone, Li Tianlan tracked a nearly thousand-year-old Unicorn Python, hoping to take the stones in its nest.

• Xu Shi'ang announced that candidates had to collect Score Stones in the Spiral Forest, where the 20,000 highest-scoring students would advance and stealing stones was allowed.

• Li Tianlan realized he did not know the forest's paths, chose a direction, and headed north.
• Li Tianlan detected the poisonous scent of a nearly thousand-year-old Unicorn Python and set out to hunt it for the Score Stones in its nest.

Li Tianlan rescued Ye Lingling from a Ten Thousand Year Unicorn Python and recognized her as the future Nine Heart Begonia healer. The python turned its attention to Li Tianlan, leaving him facing the powerful beast.

• Li Tianlan saw five young Soul Masters fleeing a Ten Thousand Year Unicorn Python and realized it was far stronger than they expected.
• Ye Lingling fell, and the Golden-Haired Girl and black-haired girl turned back to protect her, but their attacks failed to stop the python.
• Li Tianlan used Three Thousand Lightning Movement to save Ye Lingling just before the python could swallow her.
• The python focused on Li Tianlan because his unusual scent made it crave him, while the Golden-Haired Girl and black-haired girl fled.
• Li Tianlan recognized Ye Lingling's potential as a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, decided to build a relationship with her, and set her down after she thanked him.

Li Tianlan protected Ye Lingling from a Ten Thousand Year Unicorn Python and gave her a Pseudo Divine Artifact bracelet. After the beast fled, Ye Lingling chose to search for her teammates while Li Tianlan continued on alone.

• Li Tianlan gave Ye Lingling a Strength Clan bracelet that could shield her from a Titled Douluo's attack and told her to run while he held off the Ten Thousand Year Unicorn Python.
• Li Tianlan struck the python with his Clear Sky Hammer and blocked its tail with Heavenly Flames, leaving Ye Lingling stunned by how easily he suppressed it.
• After the python activated Berserk Blood and grew stronger, Li Tianlan sent it flying with another hammer blow, and it fled when it realized it was outmatched.
• Ye Lingling told Li Tianlan that Mu Shuang and Lin Xuan had returned to save her, while Little Li and Chen An had not.
• Ye Lingling chose to search for Mu Shuang and Lin Xuan, but Li Tianlan refused to take back the bracelet and left alone.

Li Tianlan collected a clutch of nearly hatched snake eggs and created a potion that could grant Soul Beasts the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline. Xiao Yan warned him that Douluo Continent was changing and might be absorbing forces from other worlds, leaving Li Tianlan worried about the danger ahead.

• Li Tianlan gathered antidote herbs near the Ten Thousand Year Unicorn Python’s lair and found seventeen snake eggs close to hatching.
• Li Tianlan used the Golden Sea Cauldron, Profound Yellow Flame, herbs, and Golden Dragon blood to make the Golden Dragon King Evolution Liquid.
• Xiao Yan told Li Tianlan that Douluo Continent was advancing toward a mid-tier world and had begun absorbing energy and mysterious substances from other worlds.
• Li Tianlan feared that powerful cultivators from other worlds might arrive, but reminded himself that this was only speculation.

Li Tianlan tested the Golden Dragon King Evolution Liquid on newly hatched Unicorn Pythons and watched them transform into Golden Unicorn Pythons. After collecting Score Stones, he headed toward Xiao Wu, who had hidden in the Spiral Forest after separating from him.

• Li Tianlan asked Xiao Yan how long it would take for Douluo Continent to connect with their world, and Xiao Yan said the timing was impossible to predict but reassured him that he could handle any arrivals from Cangqiong Continent.
• A newly hatched Unicorn Python swallowed a drop of Golden Dragon King Evolution Liquid, turned gold, grew rapidly, and struck Li Tianlan with lightning from its horn.
• Li Tianlan gave the Evolution Liquid to the rest of the clutch, and all seventeen hatchlings became Golden Unicorn Pythons with varying degrees of transformation.
• Li Tianlan stored the young Golden Unicorn Pythons and their supplies, then opened a Score Stone Chest containing an estimated twenty to thirty thousand Score Stones.
• Li Tianlan sensed Xiao Wu’s direction and went to help her, while Xiao Wu hid in the Spiral Forest after separating from him.

• Mo Jun recovered with help from a Support System Soul Master and threatened Li Tianlan, who approached him and said he would kill him in one hit.

• Mo Jun fled when Li Tianlan prepared to attack, but Li Tianlan caught him and smashed his head with Eight Extremes Collapse.
• Li Tianlan blasted the six Soul Elders with a Three-Colored Fire Lotus, killing all six with Heavenly Flames.
• Four teachers arrived and found Mo Jun barely alive, then carried him toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy in hopes that a Nine Heart Begonia successor could heal him.
• Li Tianlan escaped the teachers and followed Xiao Wu to a cave she said held something valuable.
• Xiao Yan identified the cave’s treasure as the Heavenly Poison Flame, which Li Tianlan remembered was suited to Dugu Yan.

Li Tianlan and Xiao Wu entered a cave to search for the Heavenly Poison Flame, using Yangquan Fire to keep its poisonous creatures at bay. When a Crimson Flame Snake attacked, Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu warned Li Tianlan to dodge, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Li Tianlan learned that Dugu Yan no longer needed the Heavenly Poison Flame and decided to claim it for himself.
• Xiao Yan told Li Tianlan to cover himself with Yangquan Fire before entering the cave, and Li Tianlan protected Xiao Wu with the same flame.
• Li Tianlan and Xiao Wu entered the cave, where Yangquan Fire drove back swarms of spiders and exposed venomous snakes in standing water.
• When Xiao Yan said the cave blocked spiritual detection, Li Tianlan relied on Xiao Wu to sense the treasure and cautiously followed her lead.
• A blood-red Crimson Flame Snake lunged at Li Tianlan, and he formed a shield of Yangquan Fire as Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu shouted for him to dodge.

Li Tianlan survived the Crimson Flame Snake’s venom with Ice Spring and discovered a cave full of Scarlet Flame Snake Fruits. After harvesting most of the ripe fruits and restoring the vine with Yang Spring water, he left the story holding the furious snake, which threatened to bite him again.

• The Crimson Flame Snake pierced Li Tianlan’s Yangquan Fire shield and injected venom into his arm, but Xiao Yan told him to drink Ice Spring to counter it.
• Li Tianlan drank Ice Spring and expelled the venom, while Xiao Wu explained that Scarlet Flame Snake Fruits grew near the snake.
• Xiao Wu led Li Tianlan to a cave where he found more than a hundred Scarlet Flame Snake Fruits growing on a vine above lava.
• Li Tianlan harvested most of the ripe fruits and poured Yang Spring water into the magma lake to restore the vine.
• Li Tianlan summoned the Crimson Flame Snake and teased it, and the snake glared at him and threatened to bite him.
