Chapter Summaries

Tang Yin killed the weakened Rhinoceros King, gained a powerful Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, and the group decided to hunt their next Spirit Beast without relying on Dugu Bo. After Tian Rui nearly damaged his mind while attempting Magnetic Field Perception, the three found a Gluttonous Demonic Pig and prepared to test it cautiously.

• Tang Yin struck down the Rhinoceros King, absorbed its Spirit Ring, and gained the Thunder Shock skill while Tian Rui and Zhou Xuefeng recovered its sixty-six-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
• Tian Rui, Tang Yin, and Zhou Xuefeng considered telling Dugu Bo about their relationship but chose to search for the next Spirit Beast themselves.

• Zhou Xuefeng prepared to test the Gluttonous Demonic Pig with Blue Silver Grass while the others stood ready to fuse their powers.

Zhou Xuefeng, Tang Yin, and Tian Rui hunted the powerful Hog King, finally defeating it after it escaped and returned to the valley. Tang Yin gained a new soul skill, and the group decided Zhou Xuefeng would begin overwriting his Blue Silver Grass spirit rings while they prepared for higher-level forging.

• Zhou Xuefeng used Blue Silver Grass to probe the Hog King, while Tang Yin and Tian Rui fused their martial souls and attacked it from the air.
• The Hog King escaped the first assault by consuming nutrients and burrowing out of the valley, then secretly returned after hunting soul beasts to recover.
• Tang Yin and Tian Rui fought the Hog King with their fused Clear Sky Hammer as Zhou Xuefeng supported them, and the three exhausted their springwater supply to kill it.
• Tang Yin absorbed the Hog King's spirit ring and gained Indomitable, a soul skill that dealt damage based on Soul Power and recovered some of his own.
• Zhou Xuefeng proposed starting spirit-ring overwriting with his Blue Silver Grass, and the group returned to their academies.
• Tang Yin suggested acquiring the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and Zhou Xuefeng said Ning Yulin should handle it discreetly.

Zhou Xuefeng helped Tang Yin oversee the forging of a Prismatic Pagoda that could strengthen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, then delivered it to Ning Yulin for Ning Fengzhi. Meanwhile, Ning Yulin’s team completed the Mysterious Water Pill, and Ning Yulin went to find his father with the forged pagoda.

• Zhou Xuefeng teased Tang Yin about seducing Bai He, then returned to Zhu Zhuyun and continued helping Zhu Zhuqing prepare to awaken her martial soul.
• Tang Yin forged a Prismatic Pagoda from rare materials, and a lightning strike brought it to life before Zhou Xuefeng captured it.
• Tang Yin merged the pagoda with his martial soul and sensed gradual progress toward breaking through to nine floors, so Zhou Xuefeng told him to send it to Ning Fengzhi through Ning Yulin.
• Ning Yulin’s research team completed the Mysterious Water Pill, and he copied its formula and warned the team not to reveal it.
• Ning Yulin tested the forged pagoda, found that it did not help him break through, then took it to Ning Fengzhi and encountered Ning Rongrong.

Ning Yulin presented Ning Fengzhi with a method for breaking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s seven-layer limit, while Zhou Xuefeng helped Tang Yin remove a Spirit Bone and obtained Zhu Zhuyun’s third Spirit Ring. Zhou Xuefeng planned to use Zhu Zhuyun’s enrollment at an academy to draw the Star Luo Empire’s attention, and the chapter ended with him noticing that something was wrong with her.

• Ning Yulin showed Ning Fengzhi the Pagoda and explained that cultivating a martial soul with an artifact might help him break through his Rank Seventy-Nine bottleneck.

• Zhou Xuefeng considered sending Zhu Zhuyun to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to attract the Star Luo Empire’s attention, and thought about making the Dai Family suspect Spirit Hall or other powers.
• Zhou Xuefeng returned to find Tang Yin recovered to Rank Fifty-One, then noticed that something was off with Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhou Xuefeng and his companions planned to investigate Nuoding City and keep watch on Tang San, while An Lan and Tian Rui strengthened their influence and abilities. Tang San awakened Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power, and Old Jack went with him to tell Tang Hao about the chance to attend a Soul Master Academy.

• Zhu Zhuyun asked Zhou Xuefeng what he intended to do with her, and he called her a collectible without easing her worries.
• Zhou Xuefeng, Tang Yin, Ning Yulin, An Lan, and Tian Rui discussed Tang San and decided Zhou Xuefeng and Tang Yin would scout Nuoding City while Ning Yulin and Tian Rui supported them.

Tang San's chance to attend the Nuoding City academy was rejected by Tang Hao, while Ning Rongrong awakened a nine-layer pagoda and Ning Yulin clashed with Ning Fengzhi over his plans for the sect. An Lan checked Spirit Hall's awakening records for Tang San but found that Nuoding City's branch had not reported him.

• Old Jack urged Tang Hao to send Tang San to the academy, but Tang Hao refused because he wanted Tang San to stay and cook for him.

• Ning Fengzhi broke through to level eighty, but rejected Ning Yulin's proposal to maneuver the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect toward control of the Heaven Dou Empire; Gu Rong later said Ning Yulin's suggestion had merit.
• An Lan asked Bibi Dong to review Spirit Hall's awakening records, but Tang San's name was absent because the Nuoding City branch hall had not submitted it.

Zhou Xuefeng, Tang Yin, and their companions watched Tang San arrive at Nuoding City and begin studying under Yu Xiaogang, then abducted Xiao Wu before Tang San could meet her. Tang Hao intercepted them outside the city, and Tang Yin prepared to fight him as his charge reached completion.

• Zhou Xuefeng and Ning Yulin discussed overwriting Spirit Rings and removing Spirit Bones, while Tian Rui considered using magnetic fields to imitate solar and lunar essence absorption.
• Tang San left for Nuoding City with Old Jack, knocked down the academy gatekeeper after being insulted, and met Yu Xiaogang, who became his teacher after revealing that he had Twin Martial Souls.

• Tang Hao blocked their escape, and Tang Yin stalled him while building up power as Xiao Wu woke and felt the pressure of a Title Douluo.

Tang Yin and Zhou Xuefeng confronted Tang Hao, who mistook the encounter for a chance to capture Xiao Wu and learn what had happened to the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Yin held his own against Tang Hao’s increasingly serious hammer attacks, and the chapter ended with Tang Hao’s Seal Absolute apparently failing to affect him.

• Tang Yin revealed his powerful Clear Sky Hammer and surprised Tang Hao by injuring and driving him back with his first strike.
• Tang Yin accused Tang Hao of bringing disaster on the Clear Sky Sect and mentioned Tang Yuehua, while Zhou Xuefeng used the opening to grab Xiao Wu and attempt to escape.

• Tang Hao used Haotian Nine Absolutes: Break to gain the advantage, but Tang Yin resumed attacking and taunted him as his strength grew through the fight.
• Tang Hao launched Heaven-Striking Blow with Haotian Nine Absolutes: Seal, but Tang Yin’s Thunder Shock attack was unaffected by the sealing effect.

Tang Yin, Zhou Xuefeng, and Tian Rui escaped Tang Hao with Xiao Wu and debated who should absorb her Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. They settled the choice by drawing lots, and Tang Yin drew the shortest blade of grass.

• Tang Yin drew the shortest blade of grass and was chosen to absorb Xiao Wu's Spirit Ring.

Zhou Xuefeng, Tian Rui, and Tang Yin tried to persuade Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself, but she refused, so they carried her into Sunset Forest while testing whether Spirit Beasts could be absorbed through the method Jian Mo Qian Jun had used. Their experiment with two Spirit Beasts began to draw energy into their Martial Souls, while the strange aura around a wutong tree remained unexplained.

• Zhou Xuefeng and Tian Rui offered Xiao Wu a choice between sacrificing herself to Tang Yin or being killed for her Spirit Ring and bone, but she distrusted them and refused.
• Tian Rui threatened to destroy all lovers’ happiness until Lovesick Heartbreak Red uprooted itself, though he sensed it resisted him.

• Zhou Xuefeng and Tang Yin killed a Glazed Moon Spirit Flower and a Black Rock Giant Rhinoceros, then traced rune patterns across their Martial Souls to try absorbing the beasts’ energy.
• Zhou Xuefeng sensed the Glazed Pagoda absorbing intangible energy, and Tang Yin used Soul Forging and Current Drive to draw the lingering aura from a beast’s corpse into his Martial Soul.

Zhou Xuefeng successfully created a Spirit Soul for his Glazed Pagoda, while Tang Yin failed to do the same with his Clear Sky Hammer. Xiao Wu agreed to sacrifice herself, and Tang Yin absorbed her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone; afterward, he and Zhou Xuefeng headed toward Blue Silver Forest to overwrite Ah Yin’s Spirit Ring and discussed Tang Yin’s plan to enter the City of Slaughter.

• Zhou Xuefeng fused the Glazed Moon Spirit Flower’s soul into his Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul, while Tang Yin’s attempt with the Clear Sky Hammer failed.
• Tian Rui proposed repeatedly reviving to strengthen themselves enough to endure powerful Spirit Rings, but Tang Yin warned that revival could leave them unable to use their Soul Power.

Zhou Xuefeng and Tang Yin obtained a high-age Blue Silver Grass Spirit Ring and tested the powerful changes to Zhou Xuefeng’s Blue Silver Domain. After traveling to Heaven Dou City and gathering rare materials, Zhou Xuefeng encountered Dugu Bo in the Mandarin Duck Pot and revealed a surprising pair of “Twin Martial Souls.”

After An Lan arrived in Heaven Dou City, Zhou Xuefeng told Zhu Zhuyun that he planned to send her and her sisters to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to draw the Dai Family into a conflict over the Star Luo Empire.

• Ning Yulin asked Ning Fengzhi again to support his proposal concerning the Heaven Dou Empire and revealed that he had allies in Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire.
• Ning Fengzhi learned that An Lan was one of Ning Yulin's allies and wondered whether An Lan genuinely intended to cooperate or was trying to exploit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Yulin brought Ning Fengzhi and the elders of the Seven Treasures Sect to meet Tang Yin, who recruited their help hunting two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Tang Yin and his allies lured the enraged Titan Giant Ape away from the Lake of Life and defeated it while Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong held off the Sky Azure Bull Python. The chapter ended with Xiao Wu pleading over the fallen Er Ming as Tang Yin demanded that it sacrifice itself.

• The Titan Giant Ape saw Xiao Wu’s spirit ring and Spirit Bone aura, flew into a rage, and summoned the Sky Azure Bull Python.

As Tang Yin absorbed a second red Spirit Ring, Ning Yulin rejected Ning Fengzhi’s suggestion of a marriage alliance involving Ning Rongrong and deferred the proposal concerning Princess Xue Ke.

• Tang Yin struck Er Ming with the Clear Sky Hammer, destroying his left arm and opening a hole in his chest, while Zhou Xuefeng collected the fallen bones.
