Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yun completed a pair of powerful magic pistols in the underground Artifact Refining Room after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect intervened to protect him from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The chapter left Yu Mingfeng plotting against Xiao Yun, while the newly forged pistols gained embryonic weapon spirits and distinct abilities.

• Chen Xin told Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin to look after Xiao Yun, prompting the education committee members to laugh and Yu Mingfeng to grow furious.
• A shadowy voice advised Yu Mingfeng that he could not provoke Sword Douluo but could target Xiao Yun when he was alone, and Yu Mingfeng ordered an investigation.
• Xiao Yun told Ning Rongrong to settle matters with her father and fulfill her duties as his liaison before he went to refine a magic weapon.
• Xiao Yun forged a black pistol that fired physical bullets and a white pistol that formed spiritual bullets with effects shaped by the supplied Soul Power.
• Lightning tempered the pistols, and Xiao Yun infused them with Origin Soul Power, awakening the beginnings of weapon spirits.

Xiao Yun introduced Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to his newly refined twin guns, Eternal Night Dawnbreaker and Starry Dawn, and led them through extensive tests of their abilities. The guns proved powerful and adaptable, though Ning Rongrong exhausted her Soul Power and Zhu Zhuqing depleted part of the black gun’s ammunition reserve.

• Xiao Yun named the twin guns Eternal Night Dawnbreaker and Starry Dawn, demonstrated their power, and let Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing examine them.
• At the Training Ground, Ning Rongrong bound Starry Dawn to her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit, while Zhu Zhuqing activated Eternal Night Dawnbreaker’s Slaughter mode.
• Ning Rongrong tested Starry Dawn’s healing, explosive, acceleration, and hypnosis ammunition, while Zhu Zhuqing tested the black gun’s armor-piercing, explosive, tracking, and binding rounds.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing coordinated their guns to hit moving and invisible targets, using visual sharing and the white gun’s locking function.
• Xiao Yun tested their combination skills, including a fused energy beam and a Space-Time Barrage, before Ning Rongrong ran low on Soul Power and Zhu Zhuqing reported that the black gun had only thirty percent of its ammunition reserve.

Xiao Yun showed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing how their new pistols worked, then demonstrated an ordinary Desert Eagle and its ammunition to Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong recorded the weapon’s capabilities and urged her sect to gather Xiao Yun’s requested materials, while reconsidering whether to recommend Tang San’s concealed weapons.

• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing discovered that their pistols helped recover Soul Power and generated armor-piercing rounds, and Xiao Yun told them the weapons would gain second forms at Soul Saint rank.
• Xiao Yun warned the girls to keep their pistols secret and said he could make simpler versions that could threaten Soul Kings when used by surprise.
• Xiao Yun assembled an ordinary Desert Eagle and showed Ning Rongrong how its mechanical design, recoil, and ammunition worked; she pierced a steel target and tested incendiary rounds.
• Ning Rongrong recorded the Desert Eagle’s test data, then contacted Uncle Wang to prioritize gathering the materials Xiao Yun had requested.
• Ning Rongrong began to ask about the Zhuge Crossbow, but Xiao Yun dismissed it as complicated and unreliable, leaving her unsure whether to recommend Tang San’s concealed weapons to her father.

Ning Rongrong learned to use Xiao Yun’s Desert Eagle, and he prepared to teach her how to make bullets while keeping the weapon’s origins secret. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi took Xiao Yun’s pill and successfully formed the eighth level of his Martial Soul, then began the final step toward reaching the ninth.

• Ning Rongrong asked whether the Desert Eagle could be mass-produced, and Xiao Yun said it could while warning her to keep its origin from Spirit Hall.
• Ning Rongrong practiced firing and reloading, and Xiao Yun gave her a materials list and offered to teach her how to make bullets.
• Zhu Zhuqing recognized the weapons’ potential impact on armies and low-level Soul Masters, while Xiao Yun drew blueprints to use in a deal with Ning Fengzhi.
• Chen Xin brought Ning Fengzhi the pill, and Ning Fengzhi entered the sect’s forbidden chamber with Chen Xin and Gu Rong guarding him.
• Ning Fengzhi consumed the pill, connected an eighth core to his Martial Soul, and began forming the energy passage to the ninth core.
• Ning Fengzhi added a drop of his Essence Blood to the passage and pushed the ninth core into place, filling his Martial Soul space with nine-colored light.

Ning Fengzhi awakened the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, breaking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s cultivation limit. At Heaven Dou Academy, Xiao Yun explained that bottlenecks came from flaws or damage in Martial Soul energy pathways and demonstrated how to repair Yu Tianheng’s, drawing the attention of powerful observers.

• Ning Fengzhi emerged with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and said he could eventually reach Rank 80, then summoned the elders to reassess the sect’s relationship with Xiao Yun and the continent’s balance of power.
• Two days later, Xiao Yun began a lesson at Heaven Dou Academy and explained that bottlenecks resulted from congenital flaws or acquired damage in Martial Soul energy pathways.
• Xiao Yun examined Yu Tianheng’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and demonstrated how to channel its lightning, reinforce its structure, and construct new pathways.
• Yu Tianheng felt his half-year bottleneck begin to loosen as he memorized Xiao Yun’s method.
• Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Xue Qinghe recognized the importance of Xiao Yun’s theory, and Xue Qinghe ordered the lessons recorded.

Xiao Yun explained his theory of Martial Soul inheritance, mutation, and evolution, then taught students how to choose Soul Rings that strengthened their Martial Souls without damaging their core structures. He ended by laying out ways to match Soul Rings to each Martial Soul’s origins and attributes.

• Xue Feng asked Xiao Yun how Martial Soul mutation and evolution could be explained, and Xiao Yun described five outcomes of collisions between parents’ Martial Soul structures.
• Xiao Yun presented his first Soul Ring selection principle, urging students to strengthen their Martial Souls’ existing advantages rather than choose incompatible rings to cover weaknesses.
• Xiao Yun showed how mismatched Soul Rings could damage a Martial Soul’s structure, and Yu Tianheng realized this might explain his clan members’ mysterious cultivation bottlenecks.
• Xiao Yun explained that Soul Rings should nourish a Martial Soul’s core origin, and he told Dugu Yan that a Jade Python ring could have prevented her Mandala Snake ring’s backlash.
• Xiao Yun taught how to match Soul Rings to the five origin attributes and their derivatives, using examples for Fire Attribute, Agility Attack Type, and Support System Soul Masters.

Xiao Yun explained how Soul Masters should choose Soul Beasts and Soul Rings according to their Martial Souls, presenting theories for Beast, Tool, Plant, and Food Martial Souls. After class, Yu Tianheng asked how to choose Soul Beasts for his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Xiao Yun advised him to seek dragon- or lightning-attributed beasts.

• Xiao Yun explained that Beast Martial Souls should absorb Soul Rings from compatible ecological tiers, warning that crossing tiers could cause negative effects.
• Xiao Yun taught that Tool Martial Souls could pursue extreme or balanced enhancement, using the Clear Sky Hammer, Seven Kill Sword, and Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda as examples.
• Xiao Yun presented Jia Wood and Yi Wood theory for Plant Martial Souls and said Food Martial Souls should choose Soul Rings suited to their functions.
• Xiao Yun concluded that choosing the right evolutionary path mattered more than pursuing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and the powerful observers considered his theories.
• Xue Qinghe told the black-robed enshrined elder to investigate the Clear Sky Sect's Soul Ring choices, while Ning Fengzhi recorded Xiao Yun's plant theory.
• Yu Tianheng asked Xiao Yun how to choose Soul Beasts for his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Xiao Yun recommended dragon- or lightning-attributed Soul Beasts.

Xiao Yun assigned the Imperial Fighting Team to teams and projected a Trial Tower where they fought through repeated, painful battles. The students emerged sharper and more coordinated, and Xiao Yun set floors they had to clear before they could qualify for the tournament.

• Xiao Yun instructed the students to reassess their Martial Soul niches and Soul Ring plans, then divided them into first, second, and reserve teams with assigned battle roles.
• Xiao Yun summoned the Great Wilderness Trial Tower and sent the first team into its trials, where they fought Hellhounds, Medusa Guards, an Abyss Summoner, and a Lava Giant, dying repeatedly as they learned each enemy’s weaknesses.
• The second team faced its own trials, including a Shadow Leopard pack, a Sea of Skeletons, and a Two-headed Chimera, where Sylvia and Lina developed a coordination technique.
• Xiao Yun ended the projection after three hours, recorded the students’ deaths, and praised their lack of hesitation before setting the first team a fiftieth-floor goal and the second team a fortieth-floor goal.
• Yu Tianheng, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan encouraged Ning Rongrong to fight more boldly, while Chen Xin and Gu Rong wondered about the vanished tower and watched Xiao Yun with caution.

After Xiao Yun revealed the Tower of Trials, Heaven Dou’s rulers, Spirit Hall, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect considered how to approach him. As the Crown Prince’s Mansion began expanding his apartment, Sylvia learned she had been ordered to become close to him.

• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo discussed the empire’s plan to send noblewomen to Xiao Yun and Dugu Yan’s interest in him.
• Xiao Yun accepted the Crown Prince’s Mansion’s apartment expansion, then Sylvia’s father told her she had been ordered to become Xiao Yun’s intimate companion.

Sylvia and Shenghua agreed to approach Xiao Yun after their families ordered them to gain his favor, while Dugu Yan moved into his apartment. When Sylvia and Shenghua arrived seeking rooms, the Crown Prince sent Soul Masters to merge the neighboring apartment with Xiao Yun’s residence, and Ning Rongrong sensed something concealed in the walls.

• Vincent Fan Hosen ordered Sylvia to seduce Xiao Yun, and she eagerly requested information about his preferences and habits after recognizing him as her instructor.
• The Feng Hua Yuan Earl told Shenghua to win Xiao Yun’s support in hopes of securing her exiled brother’s pardon, and she agreed to seek his guidance.

• Xue Qianren and Tang Yuehua took the seats on either side of Xiao Yun, frustrating Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as he introduced the guests.

At the banquet, Tang Yuehua secretly put the other women to sleep and followed Xiao Yun to his bedroom, where she deliberately stirred the Desire Energy within him. The energy erupted again, drawing the women toward him while Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong remained protected in their rooms.

• Xue Qianren, Tang Yuehua, and the other women celebrated Xiao Yun’s new home, but rivalry over his attention grew at the table.
• Xiao Yun left the banquet, and the women drank until most of them passed out; Tang Yuehua and Xue Qianren continued their drinking contest.
• Tang Yuehua used her hairpin to deepen the women’s sleep, then invited Xiao Yun to his room and asked him for private cultivation guidance.
• Tang Yuehua revealed that desire had disrupted her Qi Refining progress and pushed Xiao Yun onto the bed, awakening the Desire Energy within him.

After suppressing the Desire Energy that overwhelmed his apartment, Xiao Yun left the women with sealed marks and powerful cultivation inheritances. By dawn, Xue Qianren, Tang Yuehua, and Dugu Yan had each discovered how their new methods could transform their strength, while Zhu Zhuqing watched from the shadows.

• Xiao Yun used the Primordial Spirit Purple Lotus to regain enough clarity to activate the Seal Desire Lock Emotion Array, suppressing the Desire Origin inside the women.

• Dugu Yan discovered the Myriad Poisons Secret Codex, manifested violet poison mist, and tried to record the method before finding that she could not write it down.

Sylvia and Shenghua awakened to new cultivation inheritances from Xiao Yun and advanced their spiritual energy, while the other women also underwent breakthroughs. At lunch, the newly empowered women gathered around Xiao Yun, and Zhu Zhuqing privately signaled that she wanted an explanation.

• Sylvia and Shenghua discovered the Wind Sword Art and Illusion Moon Art in their minds, cultivated spiritual energy, and found that the inheritance techniques could not be recorded.

Later, Ning Rongrong delivered rare supplies from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, including Taibai Golden Essence that Xiao Yun recognized as vital for refining Flying Swords.

• Xiao Yun inspected the rare materials, spotted three boxes of Taibai Golden Essence, and asked Ning Rongrong to take the stewards to the side hall for tea.
