Chapter Summaries

Han Li and the others completed the first stage of condensing Soul Cores, while Han Li waited at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a soul beast to bring him a Seventh Soul Ring. A colossal ice silkworm named Tian Meng arrived, drawn to the well, and froze when Han Li spoke to it from the pool.

• Azure Luan recovered from condensing his Soul Core and demonstrated its improvements to cultivation, combat power, control, and aura concealment.
• Han Li and the Plane Consciousness revised their plan, and Han Li helped the others condense Soul Cores over the next twenty-odd days; Xiu'er nearly lost control but succeeded.
• Han Li told Broad Hill he would wait for a soul beast to offer a sacrifice and give him his Seventh Soul Ring, then agreed to wait three more days before searching himself.
• After Xiu'er recovered, Han Li entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while the others concealed their auras in a Stone Chamber.
• Tian Meng emerged from underground, boasted about his plans for revenge, and approached the well to drink from its Extreme Frozen Cold Spring.
• Han Li's head emerged from the pool and warned Tian Meng not to drink too much, startling the ice silkworm.

Han Li and three Titled Douluo captured Tian Meng, the Million-Year Soul Beast, after he emerged near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Tian Meng revealed details about the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but Han Li showed that he also knew about Tian Meng’s connection to the Far North Land and Ice Empress.

• Tian Meng tried to flee Han Li but found three powerful Titled Douluo blocking his escape.
• Han Li restrained Tian Meng and made him identify himself as the continent’s first Million-Year Soul Beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• Han Li explained that Tian Meng had extraordinary Spiritual Power but little combat strength, while Broad Hill and Dugu Bo questioned him.
• Tian Meng described the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, including Di Tian, Bear Monarch, and Scarlet King, while hiding information about the Far North Land.
• Han Li silently mouthed “Far North Land, Ice Empress,” leaving Tian Meng stunned by how much Han Li knew.

Han Li confronted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about its motives and desire to live, using its feelings for Ice Empress to break down its resistance. Tian Meng asked Han Li for a way to survive, leaving him poised to turn that request to his advantage.

• Han Li marked Tian Meng with diluted Blazing Spring Mist, and Tian Meng endured the pain while pretending to like it.
• Han Li dismissed Broad Hill's offer to kill Tian Meng and sealed the two of them inside his Dualistic Domain to speak privately.
• Tian Meng mocked Han Li's plan to take its soul ring and Soul Bone, but Han Li threatened Ice Empress and Snow Empress to force it to cooperate.
• Han Li challenged Tian Meng's supposed love for Ice Empress and argued that it only wanted to survive, leaving Tian Meng shaken and pleading for help.
• Tian Meng admitted it wanted to live and asked Han Li for a solution, and Han Li reminded it that it had chosen to ask him.

Han Li persuaded Tian Meng to sacrifice himself by promising to preserve him, transform him into an ice dragon guardian, and eventually take him to the God Realm. Tian Meng agreed and returned to Han Li, while Han Li began planning how to absorb his power safely.

• Han Li revealed his divine inheritances and control over fortune, then promised Tian Meng survival, a dragon bloodline, and eternal life in the God Realm.
• Tian Meng accepted the sacrifice and followed Han Li, who tested his obedience by ordering him to fill in the tunnel.
• Tian Meng briefly returned underground before coming back, and Han Li asked what had enabled him to break through to a million years.
• Tian Meng explained that a green speck of light from a Space Rift had restored his energy and helped him break through while fleeing Di Tian and the others.
• Han Li realized the light was likely the Gold of Life and considered how to use Tian Meng's power while minimizing the danger.

Han Li began the soul-bone battle by drawing power from the two dragon skeletons beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and having Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sacrifice itself. The sacrifice strengthened his soul bones, and he prepared to force the remaining energy and resentment into his arms.

• Han Li finished preparing for the ritual and told Broad Hill and the others to keep their distance while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm waited for his signal.
• Han Li descended into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, connected the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow to the two dragon skeletons, and endured their pain and resentment as he absorbed their aura.
• Han Li burst from the pool, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began its sacrifice, sending three masses of energy into Han Li while a snow-white bone was placed inside its body.
• Han Li used Faith Power to fend off the dragon souls’ resentment as the sacrifice’s energy strengthened his External Soul Bones and fused Tian Meng’s million-year spiritual skull bone with him.
• Han Li forced the remaining origin energy and resentment out of his body toward his arms, forming a massive energy sphere beneath the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow as a platinum-white halo appeared above his head.

After reaching rank 77 and gaining two dragon Soul Bones, Han Li demonstrated their abilities and his powerful Mental Sharing to his companions. Azure Luan reported that an injured black-robed soul master had investigated the area, and Han Li and Broad Hill suspected he was Tang Hao.

• Tian Meng awakened as an Ice Dragon, and Broad Hill told him to build a nest and guard the area while Han Li reaffirmed his promise to him.

• Han Li and Broad Hill suspected that the black-robed soul master was Tang Hao.

After restoring the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Han Li and his companions celebrated, then left Sunset Forest and returned to Heaven Dou City. Han Li sent the Little Light Orb into dormancy, took direct control of the Plane Consciousness’s authority, and decided to stir up trouble so the God Realm would focus on Tang San instead of him.

• Han Li and the others repaired the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well basin, then held a celebration before leaving the next morning.
• Han Li assured Broad Hill that Tian Meng could safely remain at the well, and the group reset the poison array before departing Sunset Forest.
• Broad Hill and the other Titled Douluo parted ways with Han Li and the three women outside the forest, heading off to handle their own affairs.
• Back in Heaven Dou City, Han Li agreed to let the Little Light Orb enter dormancy and began operating the Plane Consciousness’s authority himself.
• Han Li sensed the God Realm’s attention and decided to make Tang San a scapegoat by causing a stir and redirecting that attention.

• Han Li gave Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling disguise pendants and extra pendants for Shui Bing'er to deliver to Aunt Su.
• Han Li met Qian Renxue, passed on his master's greetings, and received a Crown Prince's token and a student identification document for Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

• Yu Xiaogang called a break, while Han Li observed Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun behaving differently from before.

Han Li watched Yu Xiaogang persuade Tang San to pressure Zhu Zhuqing into cooperating with Dai Mubai on their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Tang San agreed to enlist the other boys and left to act, while Han Li looked at Zhu Zhuqing with disgust.

• Han Li observed that Dai Mubai was isolated and suspected Qian Renxue had used him as a tool.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that the team lacked cohesion and blamed Zhu Zhuqing for refusing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai.
• Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to consider the competition’s rewards and the chance to reunite with Tang Hao, and Tang San agreed to follow his teacher’s plan.
• Tang San worried Ning Rongrong would interfere, but Yu Xiaogang claimed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not intervene.
• Tang San went to speak with Fatty, Oscar, and Dai Mubai, while Han Li watched Zhu Zhuqing cultivate and silently condemned Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Han Li judged Yu Xiaogang’s plan to pressure Zhu Zhuqing as despicable and resolved to use the situation to decide how he would treat the Shrek group. Tang San persuaded Dai Mubai to approach Ma Hongjun and Oscar, leaving their attempt to win the two over just beginning.

• Han Li decided Yu Xiaogang belonged at the top of his personal blacklist and considered taking Zhu Zhuqing away if necessary.
• Tang San told Dai Mubai that the team needed cohesion and listened as Dai Mubai complained about Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

• Dai Mubai accepted Tang San’s advice and apologized to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
• Tang San began explaining the plan to Ma Hongjun and Oscar while Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu watched from a distance.

• Han Li connected to Zhu Zhuqing through Mental Sharing and told her to keep cultivating while she watched a scene of the training ground.
• Tang San and Dai Mubai argued that Zhu Zhuqing should complete a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai, while Oscar hesitated and Ma Hongjun angrily demanded his agreement.

• Zhu Zhuqing asked Han Li whether he had caused Ma Hongjun's outburst, and Han Li said he had only slightly amplified the fire elements around him.
• Han Li mocked Zhu Zhuqing's companions for plotting against her, and Zhu Zhuqing accused him of toying with people's hearts.
• Han Li conjured four laughing clown masks in their shared mental world and told Zhu Zhuqing that the display was called "Clown."

Zhu Zhuqing watched Shrek's group plot to pressure her into a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai, while Han Li offered to keep her safe if she resisted. When Tang San asked her to forgive Dai Mubai and cooperate, Zhu Zhuqing declared that she was divorcing him.

• Zhu Zhuqing put on a clown mask before Han Li removed it and restored her Martial Soul Possession form.

• Yu Xiaogang examined the injury and told Xiao Wu to fetch Ye Lingling from the Heaven Dou First Team's training ground.

Zhu Zhuqing stood her ground after injuring Dai Mubai, while Xiao Wu reported that Ye Lingling was absent because she was attempting a breakthrough. As Qin Ming arrived with another Healing System Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing openly confronted the group and viciously exposed Yu Xiaogang's failings.

• Han Li told Zhu Zhuqing that Ye Lingling was not at the academy, and Tang San discovered that Zhu Zhuqing's attack had badly damaged his Xuan Yu Hand.

• Qin Ming arrived at the training ground with a Healing System Soul Master and asked where the injured people were.

• Han Li sensed someone approaching and warned Zhu Zhuqing before Dean Flender arrived and confronted Yu Xiaogang about the incident.

• Flender learned from Oscar that Dai Mubai, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San had caused the conflict, then ordered them to beg Zhu Zhuqing for forgiveness.

• Flender tried to block Zhu Zhuqing, but she warned him against interfering and left the training grounds after taunting Dai Mubai.
• Han Li met Zhu Zhuqing outside, asked whether she had finished venting, and walked away with her.

Han Li brought Zhu Zhuqing to the merchant guild estate and showed Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others what had happened between them. Zhu Zhuqing learned that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, and Han Li prepared to bring Zhu Zhuqing into the Seven Profound Sect as an external member.

• Han Li and Zhu Zhuqing traveled to Heaven Dou City, where Dugu Yan teased Han Li for bringing home another woman.
• Han Li used Mental Sharing to show the women what had happened, and Zhu Zhuqing noticed the huge rabbit phantom and gray mist around Xiao Wu.
• Han Li confirmed that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, while Zhu Zhuqing struggled to understand the revelation.
• Dugu Yan and the others reacted angrily to the events they watched and sympathized with Zhu Zhuqing, whom Han Li then accepted as an external member of the Seven Profound Sect.
• Han Li told Dugu Yan to warn Ye Lingling not to rush for her fourth soul ring, then handed Zhu Zhuqing a lengthy Martial Soul Oath that Dugu Yan replaced with a normal one.

Han Li began training Zhu Zhuqing, explaining that her Martial Soul had already developed during her morning fight and planning to strengthen it further. He prepared the Evil God Pearl as a cultivation accelerator for her, then took her to the training grounds to assess her condition and begin her regimen.

• After the Martial Soul Oath, Zhu Zhuqing joined the group for lunch, and Han Li explained that her morning fight had raised her Soul Power by three levels through Martial Soul development.

• Han Li erased the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's lingering consciousness from the Evil God Pearl, enchanted it to draw out its power, and mounted it in a necklace as Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation accelerator.
• At the training grounds, Han Li found that Zhu Zhuqing had hidden injuries from rough training and extended her conditioning plan to ten days, starting with three days of Medicinal Baths.
• Han Li gave Zhu Zhuqing the necklace and told her to connect her Martial Soul to the pearl's aura and search for the state she had felt during her morning fight.

Han Li helped Zhu Zhuqing understand how to develop the dark attribute of her Hell Spirit Cat, then received intelligence about her and prepared to pursue his plans with Tang San that night. Meanwhile, Dai Mubai learned that Zhu Zhuqing had vanished, and Flender set out to search for her.
