Chapter Summaries

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang concluded that Zhu Zhuqing was dead and planned to move Tang San to another team, while Han Li watched and prepared an illusion. Han Li altered Tang San’s cultivation technique, then drew the villa’s occupants into a dream in which Tang San believed he was an outer sect disciple of the Ba Shu Tang Sect.

• Tang San suspected someone had helped Zhu Zhuqing disappear, but Yu Xiaogang insisted she was dead and assumed Tang Hao had killed her.
• Yu Xiaogang offered to seek Tang San a place on Royal Fight Team One through Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming, and Tang San agreed to let him handle it.

• Tang San awoke believing he was an outer sect disciple of the Ba Shu Tang Sect, completed a day of hidden weapon assembly, and rushed toward the Library Pavilion to find martial arts manuals.

Han Li watched Tang San relive his memories of the Tang Sect and copied its secret arts before altering the dream to confront him with his past. Tang San’s three Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotuses failed to explode, and Senior Tang declared that Tang San had never made a genuine one.

• Tang San entered the Scripture Depository, recovered his memories, and read the Tang Sect secret arts while Han Li watched and memorized them.

• All three Tang Lotuses misfired, and Senior Tang told Tang San that he had never created a genuine Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus.

Han Li manipulated Tang San’s illusion, turning his failed hidden weapon into a chance to make Tang San believe Tang Yin had betrayed and outdone him. Tang San attacked Tang Yin and was condemned by the Tang Sect elders, who broke his arm.

• Tang San charged at Tang Yin, and four elders attacked him, seized his wrist, and shattered his left arm.

Han Li used an illusion to torment Tang San and weaken his fortune before returning home to help Zhu Zhuqing refine Whale Rubber and learn a faster cultivation method. Zhu Zhuqing completed the session successfully, and Han Li left after arranging to continue her conditioning the next night.

• After Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo left, Qian Renxue questioned Han Li about his visit to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he admitted he had gone to see Ye Lingling.
• Han Li offered medicines to help verify the Ye Family’s problem and improve their strength, asking Qian Renxue to settle the family and give him the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in exchange.
• Qian Renxue agreed to obtain the artifact, and Han Li suggested making a fake so she could replace the original without causing a commotion.
• Han Li used Mental Sharing to help Qian Renxue recall the artifact’s appearance, then carved a sapphire imitation for her.
• Han Li warned Qian Renxue not to tamper with the real Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud because doing so could anger the god connected to it.

• Han Li presented the modified techniques to the girls and let them choose which ones to learn.

Han Li welcomed Ye Lingling after Qian Renxue brought the Ye Family into Spirit Hall, then helped Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing strengthen their abilities with immortal herbs. After helping Qian Renxue condense a Soul Core, Han Li left Heaven Dou City with his companions, heading for the Blue Silver Forest.

• Qian Renxue revealed her identity to the Ye Family after two guards triggered a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the clan pledged allegiance to her and Spirit Hall.

• Han Li helped Qian Renxue successfully condense a Soul Core at her estate outside Heaven Dou City.
• Han Li left Heaven Dou City by carriage with a stalk of golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass, setting out for the Blue Silver Forest.

Han Li brought the group to the Blue Silver Forest so Ye Lingling could obtain a Life-attribute Soul Ring from the Blue Silver King. He forced the Blue Silver King to guide them toward its true body, and Ye Lingling responded strongly to the forest’s life aura.

• Han Li decided to use the Blue Silver King as Ye Lingling’s Fourth Soul Ring and brought the Blue Silver Emperor along as leverage.
• After a month of relaxed travel, Han Li and the women reached the Star Dou Great Forest, where Zhu Zhuqing recalled her earlier encounter with the Titan Giant Ape.
• Han Li led the group through the forest to the hidden Blue Silver Forest and used his Dualistic Domain to block the Blue Silver Grass from reaching the Blue Silver Emperor.
• The Blue Silver King confronted Han Li through Mental Sharing, and Han Li threatened the Emperor and the surrounding Blue Silver Grass until it opened a path to its true body.
• Ye Lingling felt invigorated by the forest’s dense life aura as Han Li urged the group to follow the glowing path toward her opportunity.

Han Li forced the Blue Silver King to agree to sacrifice itself for Ye Lingling’s soul ring, then revealed the Blue Silver Emperor’s past and how she had chosen her human family over her clan. The Blue Silver King accepted its fate and warned Blue Silver Grass across the continent to hide and regard whoever carried the Emperor’s bloodline as an enemy.

• Han Li confronted the Blue Silver King and demanded that it sacrifice itself to provide Ye Lingling with an eighty-thousand-year soul ring.

• The Blue Silver King bid farewell to its people and ordered Blue Silver Grass across the continent to hide and treat whoever carried the Emperor’s bloodline as an enemy.

Han Li arranged for the Blue Silver King to sacrifice itself to give Ye Lingling a torso soul bone, promising to strengthen and restore the Blue Silver Grass Clan. He used his powers to raise the unfinished soul bone to one hundred thousand years, and Ye Lingling finished absorbing her new soul ring.

• Han Li told the Blue Silver King to make Ye Lingling a torso bone that focused on condensing the Blue Silver Domain, and promised to restore the king within a hundred years.
• The Blue Silver King sacrificed itself for Ye Lingling, drawing energy from across the forest while Han Li and the others watched.
• When the Blue Silver King could not complete the soul bone, Han Li took over and forced life energy and Soul Power into it, raising it to one hundred thousand years before the backlash knocked him away.
• Han Li got back up unharmed and showed off the blue-gold soul bone, while Ye Lingling finished absorbing her fourth soul ring, which appeared black with a red tint.

After Ye Lingling gained a powerful healing soul ring and absorbed a Blue Silver King Soul Bone, Han Li’s group left the Blue Silver Forest and headed into the Star Dou Great Forest to find soul rings for Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing. There, they unexpectedly encountered Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the Golden Generation hunting a Ghost Fox.

• Han Li sensed familiar Soul Power fluctuations and led the group to meet Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the Golden Generation fighting a Ghost Fox.

Han Li met Yue Guan, Guimei, and the Pope's disciples while traveling with the Skywater Academy girls, then left after discussing the Soul Master Competition and Soul Bones. As Yue Guan watched him go, he realized the two unfamiliar girls with Han Li were immortal herbs, including the Narcissus Jade Bone.

• Yue Guan told Han Li that Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan had trained in Death Canyon, and Han Li asked about the Soul Bones Spirit Hall had gathered for him.
• Han Li offered Yue Guan and Guimei Soul Bones if they left their posts as elders to work at the Worship Hall, but they declined while Hu Liena and the others overheard.
• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan defeated a Ghost Fox, and Han Li greeted them, prompting Yan to recall the defeat Han Li had dealt them years earlier.
• Hu Liena asked whether Han Li would compete in the Soul Master Competition, and he said he would not, though the girls with him might represent Skywater Academy.
• Han Li declined Yue Guan and Guimei's offer to help hunt soul beasts, then departed with his group after teasing Yue Guan about Dugu Bo.
• Yue Guan realized that one of the unfamiliar girls behind Han Li was the immortal herb Narcissus Jade Bone.

After Tang Hao revealed that Yu Xiaogang had suggested the accusation, Ning Fengzhi questioned him about what Yu Xiaogang had said.

• Tang Hao held back from fighting Chen Xin, who escorted him to meet Ning Fengzhi and warned him not to cause further trouble.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Tang Hao about the delayed hidden weapons and offered to help manufacture them, but Tang Hao refused and demanded to know where Zhu Zhuqing was.

• Tang Hao said Yu Xiaogang had told him the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might have taken Zhu Zhuqing, then recounted Yu Xiaogang’s account to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi’s account convinced Tang Hao that Yu Xiaogang had misled him, and Tang Hao stormed off to punish him. Meanwhile, Han Li’s group encountered injured members of the Bai clan on their way back from the Star Dou Great Forest, and Tang Hao began beating Yu Xiaogang at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
