Chapter Summaries

Chen An, a transmigrator in Douluo Continent who had no Martial Soul or Soul Power, returned home during a storm and learned that his little sister Chen Yan had awakened a Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power. Chen An wondered why he alone could not cultivate as Chen Yan shared her surprising news.

• Chen An left the shop in the rain, bought a spicy roast duck for Chen Yan, and went home.
• Alone at home, Chen An reflected on his life as a transmigrator and his inability to awaken a Martial Soul or cultivate Soul Power.
• Chen Yan returned soaked, and Chen An dried her hair while she insisted she had good news.
• Chen Yan announced that she had awakened a Martial Soul and possessed Innate Full Soul Power.
• Chen An was surprised by Chen Yan's talent and wondered whether his own inability to awaken a Martial Soul was due to being a transmigrator.

Chen Yan awakened a powerful evil sword Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, alarming Chen An and their father, Chen Feng. Chen Feng linked its mutation to Chen Yan’s deceased mother, while Chen An suspected it might somehow be connected to him.

• Chen Yan released a slender cruciform sword Martial Soul that filled the room with gray mist and a deathly aura, and Chen An worried it would turn her into an Evil Soul Master.
• Chen An learned that Spirit Pagoda staff knew about Chen Yan’s awakening and decided they needed to tell Chen Feng and move away.
• Chen Feng returned with pastries, learned what Chen Yan had done, and asked her to release her Martial Soul.
• Chen Feng said his own Martial Soul was a weaker sword and that Chen Yan’s powerful, evil mutation likely came from her mother’s sword Martial Soul.
• Chen An sensed without explanation that his own connection to Chen Yan’s Martial Soul mutation might be involved.

Chen An’s family fled Baiye City, but Netherworld Emperor Halosa tracked them down after Chen Yan awakened the Nether King Sword Spirit. When Yun Ming arrived to confront Halosa, their clash killed Chen Feng and Chen An, leaving Chen An’s soul watching as Chen Yan wept.

• Chen An, Chen Feng, and Chen Yan left Baiye City on foot and traveled into the wilderness to avoid being tracked.
• Five days later, Chen Yan noticed the Pale-Faced Man, whom Chen An recognized as Netherworld Emperor Halosa.
• Halosa identified Chen Yan’s Martial Soul as the Nether King Sword Spirit and tried to take her, while Chen An stood in his way.
• Yun Ming arrived and attacked Halosa, who seized Chen Yan and clashed with him using his sword.
• The shockwaves killed Chen Feng and stopped Chen An’s breathing, while Chen Yan cried over her father and brother.
• Chen An’s soul left his body and watched the scene, unseen by everyone else.

Yun Ming and Zang Xin drove Ha Luosa away, then Yun Ming killed Chen Yan and destroyed the Netherking Sword origin to prevent her revival. Chen An could only watch helplessly as his sister died, leaving him overwhelmed by grief.

• Zang Xin arrived to help Yun Ming corner Ha Luosa, who abandoned Chen Yan and escaped.
• Yun Ming rejected Zang Xin’s suggestion to spare Chen Yan and insisted that her Netherking Sword Spirit made her too dangerous to let live.
• Yun Ming pierced Chen Yan with the Sky Piercer Spear as Chen An tried in vain to protect her.
• Yun Ming destroyed Chen Yan’s Netherking Sword origin, eliminating her chance of revival, and left.

After being buried beneath the hillside, Chen An’s body healed and transformed as he awakened. His emergence as a powerful dragon interrupted Gu Yue Na’s attempt to transfer part of her consciousness into the Silver Dragon Spear, leaving Di Tian ready to defend her.

• Zang Xin ordered the scattered flesh and corpses buried together, and a Tang Sect Titled Douluo put them in a shallow grave.
• A green light spread through Chen An’s chest underground, healing his body as he gradually regained consciousness.
• Gu Yue Na decided to transfer part of her consciousness into the Silver Dragon Spear to keep her feelings for Tang Wulin from interfering with her revenge plan, and Di Tian agreed to guard her.
• As Gu Yue Na began the transfer, Chen An burst from the earth in the form of a gigantic Dragon of Death, releasing a roar that suppressed Di Tian’s Black Dragon bloodline.
• Di Tian shielded Gu Yue Na and watched the Dragon of Death warily, holding back from attacking until he understood the situation.

After his transformation into a Dragon of Death, Chen An discovered his body had recovered, but his father and sister were still dead. He warned Gu Yue Na not to divide her consciousness, leaving her demanding an explanation as Di Tian watched him with hostility.

• Gu Yue Na and Di Tian watched the gray dragon vent its rage before it transformed into the naked twelve-year-old Chen An.
• Chen An recovered his senses, realized his body had healed, and found that his father and sister were still dead.
• Gu Yue Na had Di Tian provide clothes for Chen An, whose death-filled gaze unsettled them before fading into sorrow.
• Chen An warned Gu Yue Na that separating part of her consciousness would make her stupid, provoking Di Tian and angering Gu Yue Na.
• Chen An explained that dividing her consciousness could affect the main consciousness and revealed he had inferred Gu Yue Na's plan to split into Na Er and Gu Yue.

Chen An warned Gu Yue Na that splitting her consciousness would not solve the root cause of her emotions, then suggested using thoughts of humanity’s harm to soul beasts to resist them. After burying his family, he accepted Gu Yue Na’s invitation to help the soul beasts plan revenge, while leaving his identity and origins uncertain.

• Chen An warned Gu Yue Na that dividing her consciousness could worsen the problem, and Di Tian urged her to reconsider.
• Chen An suggested that Gu Yue Na counter human emotions by remembering humanity’s harm to soul beasts, and she found the method partly effective.
• Chen An restored his family’s grave, vowed to avenge Xiao Yan and his father, and left without erecting a tombstone.
• Gu Yue Na stopped Chen An and invited him to join the soul beasts because she believed he was one of them.
• Chen An agreed to help Gu Yue Na plan revenge against humanity, and she asked him to explain his race, upbringing, and past.

Chen An fabricated an origin story for Gu Yue Na and Di Tian, then learned about Gu Yue Na’s history and her conflict with the Plane Master. Their standoff over whether she could remain in the Douluo World was unresolved.

• Chen An claimed he came from a mysterious space on the Star Luo Continent and had lost his memories during a failed transformation.
• Gu Yue Na asked about Chen An’s Bloodline and the location of his birthplace, but he said he could not remember.
• Chen An asked Gu Yue Na and Di Tian to explain their circumstances, and Gu Yue Na told him about the Dragon God and her own past.
• Gu Yue Na explained that the Plane Master had threatened to destroy the Douluo World if she used god-level power against humanity.
• Gu Yue Na refused to leave the Douluo World, and she and the Plane Master remained at an impasse over her promise not to exterminate humanity.

Gu Yue Na explained her wager with the Plane Master and brought Chen An to the estate where she and her allies lived. There, Chen An investigated his unusual dragon-like transformation and wondered what power had awakened within him.

• Gu Yue Na told Chen An that she had agreed to the Plane Master's wager: she had to destroy humanity through human methods or leave the Douluo World forever.
• Chen An chose to stay at Gu Yue Na's foothold rather than return to Baiye City, and Di Tian opened a Space Channel to take them there.
• Gu Yue Na warned Di Tian to treat Chen An as one of their kind while keeping watch on whether he sympathized with humans.
• Alone in his room, Chen An used Soul Power to cover his right arm in gray scales and transform his hand into a dragon claw, but no Martial Soul phantom appeared.
• Chen An questioned whether his body contained a sealed dragon's origin or had awakened a new power after his revival.

Chen An discovered that his unusual Martial Soul, the Creation Holy Tree, could grant him weapons and powers through its leaves and fruits. He transformed into a Death God Dragon by using the power stored in its first fruit, but the transformation drained the fruit and left him nearly out of Soul Power.

• Chen An summoned the Creation Holy Tree and learned that its leaves and fruits could grant him weapons and powers unlike a conventional Martial Soul.
• Chen An determined that he needed pure, attribute-matched energy to mature the tree’s unfinished second fruit and that its form would depend on his visualization.
• Chen An activated the gray fruit and transformed into a Death God Dragon as Gu Yue Na sensed the high-level dragon aura from her room.
• Chen An tested his dragon form before the transformation ended, exhausting the fruit’s power and leaving him weak with almost no Soul Power.

Chen An discovered the Scythe of Death, a powerful weapon that could grow with his cultivation, and planned how to avenge his family if he could not become a god. The next morning, Gu Yue Na summoned him to discuss his plans, and he told her he had formed a rough outline.

• Chen An summoned the Scythe of Death and used a single swing to split a wooden table, exhausting his remaining Soul Power.
• Chen An considered how his weapons and Beast Soul-like powers might grow, and resolved to take revenge on Yun Ming and the forces responsible for his family's deaths.
• Chen An weighed the risks of confronting Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, and considered using Gu Yue Na, the Spirit Pagoda, and other Federation forces as allies.
• Chen An stayed awake through the night refining his plan until Di Tian summoned him to meet Gu Yue Na.
• Chen An told Gu Yue Na that he had thought through the situation and formed a rough plan.

Chen An outlined a revenge plan with Gu Yue Na to weaken humanity’s leading powers by using the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Federation against Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. Gu Yue Na agreed that joining the Spirit Pagoda was advantageous, while Chen An identified Shrek’s arrogance and disregard for the law as vulnerabilities to exploit.

• Chen An proposed targeting Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and other major human forces, with Gu Yue Na joining the Spirit Pagoda to gain influence.
• Chen An explained that the Spirit Pagoda offered faster advancement and gave Gu Yue Na, as a soul beast, a particular advantage.
• Chen An said they could use Federation officials hostile to Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect to turn the Federation against them.
• Chen An described Shrek Academy’s arrogance, citing how it could demand apologies from the military after its students violated military rules and died.

Chen An persuaded Gu Yue Na to go with him to Mingdu so they could build influence in the Spirit Pagoda and Federation military while advancing the soul beasts’ plans against humanity. Gu Yue Na agreed to leave the next day, and Chen An explained that he needed money to seek a soul spirit and break through his level ten bottleneck.

• Chen An outlined his plan for the Federation military to enforce the law against Shrek Academy and for him to enlist after building credentials.
• Chen An proposed that Gu Yue Na accompany him to Sun Moon Royal Academy in Mingdu and attract the Spirit Pagoda’s attention.
• Gu Yue Na hesitated because she felt drawn to Tang Wulin, but Di Tian and Chen An persuaded her to prioritize the soul beast race and go with Chen An.
• Gu Yue Na agreed to leave the next day, and Di Tian gave Chen An a Federal Card containing ten million Federal Currency.
• Chen An told Gu Yue Na that he was stuck at the level ten bottleneck and wanted to absorb a soul spirit because his damaged origin might prevent him from evolving a Soul Ring himself.

Chen An went to the Spirit Pagoda to test his spiritual power and buy metal-attributed Soul Spirits. He left with three Soul Spirit Balls, while Di Tian secretly watched over him.

• Chen An declined Gu Yue Na's offer to examine him and left the manor for the city center, with Di Tian following unseen.
• Chen An bought new clothes and a cheap Storage Soul Guidance Device before reaching the Spirit Pagoda.
• Chen An tested at ninety-nine spiritual power, near the next spiritual realm, surprising the staff member.
• Chen An compared natural and artificial metal Soul Spirits and chose a nearly six-hundred-year Gold Crystal Monkey Soul Ring, another natural Soul Ring, and the best artificial option.
• Chen An paid five million and sixty thousand Federal Currency and stored the three Soul Spirit Balls in his device.

Chen An absorbed natural Soul Spirits to fill the Creation Holy Tree’s fruit, then began visualizing a new martial soul form despite severe pain and exhaustion. The projection had formed armored legs and a torso when his condition began to worsen.

• Chen An rented a private Soul Spirit Absorption Room and absorbed a nearly six-hundred-year-old Gold Crystal Monkey Soul Spirit, which filled the tree’s fruit halfway.
• Chen An absorbed a five-hundred-year-old Gold Lion Tiger Soul Spirit, bringing the fruit to a little over eighty percent full.
• Chen An tried absorbing an Artificial Soul Spirit, but its energy dispersed and his body rejected it, so he stopped.
• Chen An bought a metal-element Soul Spirit over four hundred years old and absorbed enough energy to fill the fruit completely.
• Chen An began visualizing a planned form, and a projection emerged with armored legs and a torso as he endured intense head pain and exhaustion.

After surviving the difficult visualization, Chen An woke at his residence with a new metal-element ape Martial Soul and a heavy hammer weapon. He discovered that the hammer’s weight could change, leaving him eager to explore its uses.

• Chen An completed the Martial Soul visualization, collapsed unconscious, and later woke in his residence with no memory of how he had returned.
• Chen An summoned the Creation Holy Tree and found a golden branch bearing an armored ape Martial Soul and hammer-shaped leaves.
• Chen An explained that he had designed the ape’s armor and form to suit metal energy, combat, forging, and Soul Tool crafting.
• Chen An used the ape’s power to cover and enlarge his arms with golden metal armor, then summoned a massive hammer from a leaf.
• Chen An swung the heavy hammer and wished it were lighter for forging, then realized its weight had actually decreased.

Chen An named his new Martial Soul and battle hammer, then learned that his Soul Power had only reached level eleven despite absorbing three soul spirits. Gu Yue Na also detected that his power was unusually dense and lacked an attribute, leaving Chen An wondering why his increase was so small.

• Chen An tested the hammer's ability to shrink and grow lighter, then named his ape Martial Soul the Golden Armor War God Ape and the weapon the Profound Gold Battle Hammer.
• Chen An withdrew the Creation Holy Tree and went outside, where Gu Yue Na told him he had slept for two and a half days after fainting at the Spirit Pagoda.
• Chen An explained that exhaustion and absorbing a soul spirit had caused him to pass out, while privately deciding not to confront Di Tian about following him.
• Chen An asked Gu Yue Na about his Soul Power Level, and she said it was level eleven, unusually dense, and seemingly without an attribute.
• Chen An was astonished that absorbing soul spirits totaling nearly fifteen hundred years had raised his Soul Power by only one level.

After recovering, Chen An considered why absorbing the soul spirit had raised his Soul Power by only one level, then prepared to travel with Gu Yue Na to Mingdu. Di Tian opened a Space Channel, and Chen An arrived in the city with a new identity card and a stronger desire to master spatial abilities.

• Chen An concluded that the soul spirit's energy had likely formed his Beast Soul and weapon through the Creation Holy Tree, while Gu Yue Na questioned him about his attribute-less Soul Power.
• Chen An and Gu Yue Na finished an enormous breakfast, and Gu Yue Na told him to replace his identity card before they left for Mingdu.
• Gu Yue Na returned to suppress the other consciousness that had emerged after her contact with Tang Wulin.
• Chen An obtained a replacement identity card from the government office in just over an hour.
• Di Tian tore open space to create a Space Channel, and Chen An followed Gu Yue Na through it to Mingdu.
• Chen An was impressed by the spatial journey and resolved to pursue spatial power.

Chen An brought Gu Yue Na and Di Tian to Mingdu to apply to Sun Moon Royal Academy, where enrollment was scheduled to begin on August 15. After settling into a hotel, he explored a workshop and rented a forging room to try his hand at forging.

• Chen An took Gu Yue Na and Di Tian by taxi to Sun Moon Royal Academy and learned that enrollment would begin on August 15.
• The three found a nearby hotel, checked in, and ate an enormous meal that startled the restaurant's diners and staff.
• Gu Yue Na returned to her room to rest while Chen An went out to look for a Soul Tool or forging workshop.
• Chen An found a workshop that offered both services and rented a forging room, where he examined the equipment without knowing how to begin.

Chen An used the Golden Armor War God Ape’s metal-element power to guide his forging and pushed himself through more than an hour of hammering. He completed a glowing piece of refined metal, which he believed had reached at least the second level of forging, Thousand Refinements.

• Chen An activated his metal-element power and gained an instinctive understanding of the metal’s properties and ideal forging temperature.
• Chen An used his Profound Gold Battle Hammer to forge the heated metal, guided by a connection that seemed to tell him how and when to strike.
• Chen An continued forging despite pain, fatigue, and dwindling Soul Power, drawing resolve from thoughts of his father and younger sister.
• After more than an hour, Chen An’s hammer vanished when his Soul Power ran out, and the metal flashed with light as he staggered from exhaustion.
• Chen An examined the impurity-free metal and concluded that it had reached at least the second level of forging, Thousand Refinements.
