Qian Xunji mobilized Spirit Hall’s strongest fighters under the pretext of hunting Fallen Spirit Masters, intending to kill the youth he had finally tracked down. He led the assembled force toward Strange Beasts Academy in Imperial Province, while Qian Daoliu recognized that Qian Xunji was hiding his real motive.

• Qian Xunji received confirmation of his target’s location and ordered Ghost Douluo Ghostly to summon five Titled Douluo to the Pope’s Palace.
• Qian Xunji asked Qian Daoliu to let the Guardians leave the mountain, claiming he had discovered powerful Fallen Spirit Masters; Qian Daoliu saw through the lie but allowed Qian Jun and Demon Subduing Douluo to accompany him.

• Qian Xunji gathered the Titled Douluo and three Guardians, declared that they would avenge Elder Xuan Jia by eliminating a powerful Fallen Spirit Master, and ordered them to bring additional forces to Strange Beasts Academy.

Chen Xilin used the Pitch-Black Cube’s divination to confirm that Qian Xunji was behind the danger approaching Strange Beasts Academy. After discovering Spirit Hall spies inside the academy, he prepared its people for a fight.

• Spirit Hall dispatched two hundred and sixty powerful fighters toward the Imperial Province without alerting the Upper Three Sects or the Two Great Empires.
• Chen Xilin spent one year of his lifespan divining that danger was approaching, then lost twenty more years to identify a blurry six-winged figure as Qian Xunji.

After splitting off two clones to draw away Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo, Chen Xilin pierced Golden Crocodile Douluo’s defenses with a Space Spear.

• Dugu Bo’s poison corroded Giant Rhinoceros Douluo’s leg, and the two began fighting as Feng Qingyu engaged Demon Bear Douluo.

Dugu Bo completed the Universe Creation Pills with help from Chen Xilin, and the medicinal fragrance began benefiting Strange Beasts Academy’s students and teachers. Only seven pills were produced, so Dugu Bo planned to dissolve them in water to share among everyone.

• Dugu Bo combined the refined medicinal ingredients and began condensing the Universe Creation Pills, with the academy’s leaders helping stabilize the cauldron.
• After nine days, Chen Xilin used Spatial Lock to contain the medicinal aura and force it back into the cauldron, completing the pills.

• Chen Xilin found the Strange Beasts Academy students and teachers meditating outside the alchemy room after Dugu Xin had gathered them to absorb the medicinal fragrance; Liu Erlong was among those in Deep Meditation.

Dugu Bo diluted the Universe Creation Pill and shared it among the people of Strange Beasts Academy, whose Spirit Masters gained a powerful boost to their cultivation and potential. Chen Xilin felt little effect and planned to search the sea for a suitable Sea Spirit Beast.

• Dugu Bo prepared a crystal bottle and cups, then dissolved one Universe Creation Pill in water and warned that no one should consume a whole pill at once.

• Dugu Xin reached the level 80 bottleneck as Ah Yin, Li Feiyan, and Chao Tianxiang continued absorbing the medicine and approached their own bottlenecks.

A year after leaving Strange Beasts Academy, Chen Xilin returned home and told Ah Yin about his search for a suitable sea beast and the ocean’s powerful clans. As the academy’s experts advanced rapidly, it stood on the verge of producing many more Titled Douluo and could protect itself even without Chen Xilin or Dugu Bo.

• Chen Xilin returned to Strange Beasts Academy and reunited with Ah Yin and their sleeping daughter, Chen Yuelin.

• Strange Beasts Academy gained stronger protection and prepared for a rapid rise in Titled Douluo, even if Chen Xilin left and Dugu Bo stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Chen Xilin discussed the Sea Spirit Beasts he had encountered and arranged to take Feng Qingyu out to sea for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring after Feng Qingyu broke through to Titled Douluo. Zhu Qingyan and Long Fei then decided to seek ordinary Ninth Spirit Rings instead, both to avoid burdening Chen Xilin and to protect Ah Yin’s secret identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

• Chen Xilin listed seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Sea Spirit Beasts and explained which ones could be hunted, which should be avoided, and how sea beasts differed from land Soul Beasts.

Chen Xilin left Strange Beasts Academy with Ah Yin and their baby daughter, Chen Yuelin, on a honeymoon journey to find his Ninth Spirit Ring. As Chen Yuelin realized she had been reborn in the Douluo Continent and learned of her father’s strength and ambitions, the family continued toward an uncertain future.

• Chen Xilin departed Strange Beasts Academy with Ah Yin and Chen Yuelin, while Zhu Qingyan and Long Fei declined the chance to obtain 100,000-year Spirit Rings and followed Dugu Bo to take diluted Universe Creation Pill medicinal liquid.
• On the carriage, Chen Xilin and Ah Yin admired Chen Yuelin and wondered which Martial Soul she would awaken when she turned six.

• Ah Yin urged Chen Xilin not to take risks now that he had a family, and he promised to try to avoid trouble; Chen Yuelin then choked on her milk while imagining her future in the Douluo world.

Chen Xilin brought Ah Yin and their baby, Chen Yuelin, to Vast Sea City, where Ah Yin tried seafood and bought Chen Yuelin a shell necklace. The family continued exploring the city, and Chen Yuelin called Ah Yin “Mama” but refused to call Chen Xilin “Papa.”

• The Sea Green Divine Eagle attacked the ship with lightning-charged feathers, Feng Qingyu blocked them with Repelling Wind Wall, and he counterattacked with Wind Blade Dance.

Feng Qingyu and Chen Xilin killed the Sea Green Divine Eagle, and Feng Qingyu began absorbing its 100,000-year spirit ring. After Chen Xilin foiled and killed the Captain for trying to poison him, Feng Qingyu completed the absorption and awakened with a powerful surge of soul energy.

• Wang Shi drank the ale Chen Xilin brought and explained to Ah Yin how powerful sea spirit beasts could assume human form.

Chen Xilin asked Wang Shi to help him find a powerful sub-dragon Soul Beast for his Ninth Spirit Ring, and Wang Shi pointed him toward the Nine-Section Fish Dragon Beast near the Sun Moon Continent. When Wang Shi brought his fast-swimming friend Xiao Bai to take Chen Xilin there, she recognized him as the man who had beaten her before.

• Chen Xilin told Wang Shi that he wanted a Fierce Beast Spirit Ring for his Ninth Spirit Ring, and Wang Shi named the Nine-Section Fish Dragon Beast as a possible target.
• Wang Shi said the Nine-Section Fish Dragon Beast lived far away near the Sun Moon Continent and offered to find a friend to take Chen Xilin there.
• Wang Shi returned with Xiao Bai, a Demon Soul Great White Shark, and she attacked Chen Xilin with her Shark's Tooth skill.
• Chen Xilin shattered Xiao Bai's attack and transformed into his Dark Holy Dragon Avatar, while Wang Shi restrained Xiao Bai and stopped the two from fighting.
• Chen Xilin explained that he had beaten Xiao Bai after her sharks attacked him, and Xiao Bai backed down when he reminded her that he had knocked out her teeth before.

• Xiao Bai objected to helping Chen Xilin hunt Spirit Beasts until Zi Ling and Ah Yin defended him and reminded her that he had spared her clan.
