Chapter Summaries

Ning Fengzhi persuaded Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong not to intervene against Ye Yu, accepting that he might be able to teach Ning Rongrong a needed lesson. In Spirit City, Bibi Dong learned of Ye Yu’s Martial Soul evolution and considered abducting him to help Yu Xiaogang, but held back because Dugu Bo and the “bastard” stood behind him.

After reaching rank forty-eight and completing his training, Ye Yu returned to the Heaven Dou Great Battle Arena and was matched against Huo Wu. The chapter ended as the two Silver Spirit Douluo-level fighters entered the Battle Platform and introduced themselves.

• Ye Yu cultivated at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, admired the growing Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, and flew back to Heaven Dou Imperial City.
• Ye Yu registered for a one-on-one spirit fight and spotted Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and other talented soul masters from Blazing Fire Academy.
• The arena announced that Ye Yu had won thirty-two consecutive matches and that his opponent was Huo Wu.
• Huo Wushuang worried that Huo Wu might be injured if her competitive nature made her refuse to concede.
• Huo Wu introduced herself as a rank thirty-two Control System Soul Master and resolved to knock off Ye Yu's helmet.

An Lan and Huo Wu fought on the Battle Platform, where his defenses and skill outmatched her attacks. Huo Wu refused to surrender and kept attacking with vicious moves, prompting An Lan to decide he would stop holding back.

• An Lan and Huo Wu summoned their Martial Souls, and Huo Wu opened the match with Explosive Fireballs.
• Huo Wu used her Fire Shadow Form Swap to attack An Lan from behind, but his helmet and defenses protected him from serious injury.

• An Lan told Huo Wu to admit defeat, but she got up and refused.
• Huo Wu resumed her attacks with Explosive Fireballs, Fire Shadow Displacement, and vicious strikes, while An Lan resolved to stop indulging her.

Ye Yu defeated Huo Wu and then beat Huo Wushuang when he came to avenge her. After learning about the fights, Feng Xiaotian waited at the Heaven Dou Great Battle Arena, where he finally spotted Ye Yu preparing to compete in the Soul Ancestor division.

• Ye Yu defeated Huo Wu by slamming her onto the Battle Platform, and the host declared An Lan the winner.

• Huo Wu explained that Ye Yu had held back during their fight and persuaded Huo Wushuang not to seek revenge again.
• Feng Xiaotian learned that An Lan had beaten Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, and decided to challenge him at the Heaven Dou Great Battle Arena.
• After several days of waiting, Feng Xiaotian saw Ye Yu arrive, intending to compete in the Soul Ancestor division.

At the Heaven Dou Great Battle Arena entrance, Ye Yu defeated Feng Xiaotian with a single spear strike and a burst of lightning. Feng Xiaotian was left unconscious, and An Lan's name spread throughout the Heaven Dou Imperial City's Spirit Master World.

• Feng Xiaotian confronted Ye Yu, claiming he would avenge Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, and became furious when Ye Yu mocked his devotion to Huo Wu.
• Feng Xiaotian possessed himself with the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf Martial Soul and challenged Ye Yu with Gale Magic Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes as a crowd gathered to watch.
• Ye Yu summoned his Thunderclap Netherworld Spear and thrust it at Feng Xiaotian, who redirected his wing to block the attack.
• Ye Yu's spear released lightning that electrocuted Feng Xiaotian, and Ye Yu knocked him unconscious with a sweeping strike.
• Witnesses spread word of Ye Yu's victory, and An Lan's name quickly became known throughout the Heaven Dou Imperial City's Spirit Master World.

Qian Renxue recognized Ye Yu beneath his An Lan disguise after watching him win a Soul Ancestor division match. While she chose not to expose him, Platinum Bishop Salas ordered Sano to recruit him for Spirit Hall.

• Qian Renxue heard that An Lan had killed Feng Xiaotian in one strike and became curious about the mysterious genius.
• Ye Yu, disguised as An Lan, defeated the level-forty-five Soul Ancestor Yue Shan in the arena with his spear and magnetic field.
• Qian Renxue recognized Ye Yu from his spear technique but declined her subordinate's suggestion to recruit An Lan or reveal his identity.
• Platinum Bishop Salas praised An Lan's talent and instructed Sano to invite him to join Spirit Hall.

Ye Yu refused repeated attempts by Sano and Salas to recruit him into Spirit Hall, so Salas ordered an assassination. When Sano and Spirit Hall soul masters ambushed Ye Yu outside Heaven Dou Imperial City, Ye Yu revealed his powerful Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul and trapped them in a growing maze of vines.

• Sano tried to recruit Ye Yu into Spirit Hall, but Ye Yu refused and left the arena.
• Salas learned of the refusal and ordered Sano to keep recruiting Ye Yu before killing him if he continued to refuse.
• After three failed recruitment attempts, Sano followed Ye Yu outside Heaven Dou Imperial City and surrounded him with masked Spirit Hall soul masters.
• Ye Yu summoned his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine and revealed four spirit rings, including two ten-thousand-year rings.
• Ye Yu unleashed his spirit skills, causing vast vines to grow, regenerate, and trap the attackers as Sano led them in an attempt to break through.
• When Sano and the attackers rushed toward the gap they had made, Ye Yu raised another wall of vines from underground and sealed their escape.

Ye Yu killed Sano and the other Spirit Hall Soul Masters with his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines and Tribulation Ascension, then returned to Dugu Manor without revealing what had happened. When Platinum Bishop Salas realized his nephew Sano and his men had been missing for several days, he sensed something was wrong.

• Tribulation Ascension struck Sano and the trapped Spirit Hall Soul Masters with heavenly lightning until their screams stopped.
• Ye Yu confirmed that there were no survivors, buried the scorched corpses beneath the collapsed ground, and left the scene.
• On the way back, Ye Yu reviewed the powers of his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine skills and considered how they had helped him defeat the attackers.
• Ye Yu climbed over Heaven Dou Imperial City's wall and returned to Dugu Manor, keeping the attack secret from Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
• Platinum Bishop Salas noticed that Sano and his men had not returned for several days and sensed that something was wrong.

Salas discovered that Sano and the Spirit Hall soul masters sent after An Lan had been killed, then sought a Spirit Hunting Order against him. Qian Renxue recognized An Lan as Ye Yu, blocked the order, and warned him that Salas might still retaliate, leaving Ye Yu wondering whether she had uncovered his identity.

• Salas's investigators found the remains of Sano and thirty-seven other Spirit Hall soul masters, and Salas mourned his secretly acknowledged son.
• Salas blamed An Lan's supposed protector for the deaths and petitioned Bibi Dong to issue a Spirit Hunting Order.
• Qian Renxue realized Salas had likely sent Sano to kill Ye Yu after failing to recruit him, and concluded Ye Yu himself had defeated the group.
• Qian Renxue sent Blood Spear Douluo to deliver her refusal of Salas's request, preventing a Spirit Hunting Order against An Lan.
• Qian Renxue invited Ye Yu to tea and warned him that Salas might continue pursuing An Lan.
• Ye Yu wondered whether Qian Renxue had recognized that he was An Lan.

Ye Yu stopped competing at the Heaven Dou Great Battle Arena after Qian Renxue warned him of danger, then spent the next half year cultivating and preparing a birthday gift for Ye Lingling. He gave her a Ten Thousand Year White Jade Ginseng King and learned how strongly she still cared for him, while his own feelings remained complicated.

• Ye Yu believed Qian Renxue had helped protect him and resolved to prevent her tragic fate if he gained the strength to do so.
• Ye Yu stopped competing as An Lan and continued cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, using the Thunderclap Netherworld Spear to strengthen his body with lightning.
• When Ye Lingling's birthday approached, Ye Yu and Dugu Yan agreed to give her a Ten Thousand Year White Jade Ginseng King, and Dugu Yan left with Dugu Bo to hunt for her fourth soul ring.
• Ye Yu took Ye Lingling shopping and gave her a bouquet of Heart-to-Heart Chrysanthemums, remembering that she liked them.
• Ye Yu gave Ye Lingling the White Jade Ginseng King and told her that he had suggested the gift; she joyfully embraced him, believing he still had feelings for her.
• Ye Yu sensed Ye Lingling's affection and reflected that he had chosen Dugu Yan to gain access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's immortal herbs.

Ye Lingling consumed the Ten Thousand Year White Jade Ginseng King and broke through to Rank 30, while Ye Yu revealed his An Lan identity and trained with Ling Zhantian. After reaching Rank 50, Ye Yu prepared to hunt a fifth soul ring from the legendary Undying Laurel in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Ye Lingling refined the Ten Thousand Year White Jade Ginseng King, advanced from Rank 24 to Rank 30, and kissed Ye Yu on the cheek.
• Ye Lingling told Ye Zhilan and Ling Zhantian that Ye Yu had given her the ginseng king and helped her break through, and her parents became more supportive of him.
• Ye Yu told Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, and Ye Lingling that he could no longer use his An Lan identity after Salas exposed it, and Ye Lingling revealed his identity to her parents and asked Ling Zhantian to train him.
• Over the next six months, Ye Yu trained with Ling Zhantian and the Nine Heart Begonia family's Battle Spirit Masters while cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• After a year of cultivation, Ye Yu advanced from Rank 47 to Rank 50 and chose a Life Attribute plant spirit beast over fifty thousand years old for his fifth soul ring.
• Ye Zhilan revealed the location of the legendary Undying Laurel, and she and Ling Zhantian prepared to accompany Dugu Bo and Ye Yu to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt it.

Ye Yu and his companions reached the Undying Laurel Tree in the Star Dou Great Forest, hoping to hunt the life-attributed Spirit Beast for Ye Yu’s Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine. They discovered its seventy-thousand-year Rending Mantis guardian and prepared to fight as it charged at them.

• Ye Yu followed Dugu Bo, Ye Zhilan, and Ling Zhantian into the forest to find the fifty-thousand-year Undying Laurel Tree.
• Ye Zhilan revealed that a seventy-thousand-year Rending Mantis guarded the tree, and Ye Yu explained its speed and cutting power.
• The group rested overnight, then climbed toward the mountaintop while Ye Yu used his Blue Silver Domain to watch for an ambush.
• The group found the Rending Mantis feeding on sap from the Undying Laurel Tree, and it spotted them and launched an attack.

Ye Yu and his companions killed the Rending Mantis, and Ling Zhantian accepted its Ten Thousand Year Right Arm Bone. They then hunted the Undying Laurel, whose death produced a radiant Soul Bone.

• Ye Yu trapped the Rending Mantis in a growing forest of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines, while Dugu Bo knocked it back when it tried to escape by flying.
• The vines crushed the Rending Mantis, and its corpse dropped a Ten Thousand Year Right Arm Bone.
• Ye Yu and Dugu Bo persuaded Ling Zhantian to accept the Soul Bone, which granted him the skill Blade's Edge.
• Dugu Bo used Time Freeze and Jade Phosphorous Poison Fire to weaken the Undying Laurel, then Ye Yu killed it with lightning from Tribulation Ascension.
• A white jade Soul Bone radiating silver light appeared among the Undying Laurel's charred remains.

Ye Yu absorbed the Undying Moon Laurel’s ten-thousand-year spirit ring, evolving his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine into the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree and gaining the Undying Body skill. He then fused the Laurel’s heart-shaped external soul bone into his own heart.

• Ye Zhilan proposed that Ye Yu receive the Undying Moon Laurel’s external soul bone, and Dugu Bo agreed, urging him to absorb the spirit ring first.
• Ye Yu absorbed the Undying Moon Laurel’s spirit ring, which remained within his physical limits after a year of Lightning Body Tempering.
• The spirit ring evolved Ye Yu’s Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine into the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree, and he named its fifth spirit skill Undying Body.
• Ye Yu realized the tree could regenerate and fuse severed parts, and considered developing that ability into powerful techniques.
• Ye Yu placed the Heart of the Undying Moon Laurel against his chest, infused it with Soul Power, and watched it merge with his heart.

After fusing the Heart of the Undying Moon Laurel, Ye Yu used its healing and soul-power storage abilities to push his training further. Two years of increasingly powerful lightning tempering strengthened his body and compressed his soul power, and he prepared to condense a Soul Core before joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s team on its upcoming tour.

• Ye Yu told Dugu Bo, Ye Zhilan, and Ling Zhantian that the Heart of the Undying Moon Laurel had fused into his heart, granting him stronger recovery and a reserve for life force and soul power.
• After returning to Heaven Dou Imperial City, Ye Yu began tempering his body from within with ultimate lightning, using his Spirit Bone healing abilities to survive the pain and compressing his soul power three times.
• Over the next year, Ye Yu compressed his soul power five times and raised its quality to the peak Soul Sage level, while his physical strength reached that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.
• As his body grew resistant to the Thunderclap Netherworld Spear’s lightning, Ye Yu began using Tribulation Ascension to summon weaker heavenly thunder for body tempering, with safeguards ready to divert lightning, absorb it, and heal himself.
• After another year, Ye Yu had compressed his soul power eight times, reached level fifty-eight, and raised its quality to the advanced Soul Douluo realm.
• With the next All-Continent Soul Master Academy Elite Competition about two years away, Ye Yu planned to compress his soul power further and condense a Soul Core before joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s team tour.

After three years of cultivation, Ye Yu consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and strengthened his Spiritual Power, discovering that the Inner Elixir Method had awakened the Blue Silver Grass around him. He contacted Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, who asked about Tang Hao, and told her that he had found and brought her there himself.

• Ye Yu decided to use the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone to improve his cultivation and condense a Soul Core.
• Ye Yu consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and cultivated, strengthening his Spiritual Power until he could sense his surroundings with his eyes closed.
• Ye Yu connected with the Blue Silver Grass and discovered that the plants had developed childlike awareness and regarded him as their Emperor.
• Ye Yu learned that the Blue Silver Grass called Blue Silver Emperor A Yin their Empress, then connected with her.
• A Yin anxiously asked Ye Yu whether Tang Hao had sent him and where Tang Hao was, and Ye Yu said he had found her himself and Tang Hao did not know who had taken her.

Ye Yu used several immortal herbs to strengthen his spiritual power and body, raise his soul power to rank sixty, and complete his first soul core with the Inner Elixir Method. The soul core was complete, while A Yin remained planted at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, hoping to reach a hundred thousand years of cultivation and reunite with her family.

• A Yin angrily confronted Ye Yu for separating her from Tang Hao, and he explained that he had taken her Blue Silver Emperor power to evolve his Martial Soul and told her to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Ye Yu absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, improving his Spiritual Power and control over his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul without increasing his soul power.
• Ye Yu ate the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, raised his cultivation from rank fifty-eight to rank fifty-nine, and compressed his soul power for the ninth time.
• Ye Yu consumed the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone, strengthened and widened his meridians, and reached rank sixty.
• Ye Yu cultivated the Inner Elixir Method at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, compressing his soul power until he condensed a clear, round soul core.

After condensing a Soul Core, Ye Yu reached level sixty with Titled Douluo-level Soul Power and physical strength. He returned to Heaven Dou Imperial City, and his rematch with Ling Zhantian began with Ye Yu attacking at startling speed.

• Ye Yu condensed a Soul Core, broke through to level sixty, and flew from Sunset Forest to Heaven Dou Imperial City.
• Ye Yu showed Dugu Bo that his Soul Core let him fly and that his Soul Power and physical constitution had reached the Titled Douluo realm.
• Dugu Bo took Ye Yu to the Nine Heart Begonia Family to seek a suitable Plant Spirit Beast for his sixth Spirit Ring.
• Ling Zhantian challenged Ye Yu to another battle, and Ye Yu accepted, eager to test his new strength.
• In Ye Mansion's courtyard, Ling Zhantian opened with two saber skills, but Ye Yu used his Soul Core and electromagnetic techniques to rush in and strike with the Thunderclap Netherworld Spear, forcing Ling Zhantian to retreat and defend.

Ye Yu defeated Ling Zhantian and learned of a powerful Life-attribute Demon Willow in the Star Dou Great Forest. He and his companions found the ninety-thousand-year Spirit Beast and killed it, leaving Ye Yu poised to claim its Spirit Ring.

• Ye Yu defeated Ling Zhantian in a sparring match without summoning his martial soul, forcing the Soul Douluo to surrender.
• Ye Zhilan found a family record describing a Life-attribute Demon Willow with darkness and evil attributes in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Ye Yu, Dugu Bo, and their companions traveled to the forest’s inner region and found a Demon Willow with over ninety thousand years of cultivation in a swamp.
• Dugu Bo froze the Demon Willow with his eighth spirit skill and blasted its trunk apart, then used poison fire to burn its remains.
• Ye Yu uprooted and restrained the Demon Willow with Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees, then struck it with heavenly lightning until it was dead.
