Chapter Summaries

Feng Xiaotian returned to Skywater Academy with the Nine Hearts Blood Palace, the Immortal Herb needed to save Ye Lingling. After Ye Lingling awakened it with her blood and absorbed it, her damaged Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was restored and transformed.

• Meng Wanqing worried that Yue Guan might reveal Feng Xiaotian's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring to Bibi Dong, and Feng Xiaotian considered turning to Qian Renxue for help.

Feng Xiaotian told Feng Lieyang that he had taken two Dragon Bones from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and explained how their removal had caused the spring and its Rare Herbs to wither. Feng Lieyang realized the bones formed a complete Torso Bone and considered whether Feng Xiaotian could absorb them, leaving their use undecided.

• Feng Xiaotian reasoned that Qian Renxue would still want to recruit him despite the danger Prince Xue Beng might pose after Dugu Bo's death.
• Feng Xiaotian showed Feng Lieyang two glowing bones, and Feng Lieyang examined their opposing temperatures and appearance.
• Feng Xiaotian explained that the bones came from the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Feng Xiaotian told Feng Lieyang that removing the Dragon Bones had turned the spring into a stagnant pool and caused the Rare Herbs around it to wither.
• Feng Lieyang noticed the Dragon Bones joined together to form a complete Torso Bone and wondered whether Feng Xiaotian had the strength to absorb them.

Feng Xiaotian absorbed two opposing Dragon Bones, which merged into a complete Torso Bone and gave him the powers of Extreme Cold, Extreme Heat, and Dragon Power. After his level rose to seventy-nine, Feng Lieyang proposed testing his strength at the Training Ground.

• Feng Xiaotian told Feng Lieyang that his level had risen by three to seventy-nine, and Feng Lieyang suggested they test his strength with Dean Meng.

After absorbing two Dragon Bones, Feng Xiaotian agreed to spar with Dean Meng to test his new powers. As their friends gathered behind a water-mist barrier, the duel began with both sides releasing their martial souls and soul rings.

• Feng Lieyang suggested that Feng Xiaotian spar with Dean Meng, and Feng Xiaotian agreed.
• Feng Xiaotian told Shui Bing'er that the Dragon Bones had given him extreme cold and heat powers, which he could combine with his wind element.

• Dean Meng agreed to spar with Feng Xiaotian and arranged for a water-mist barrier to keep others from seeing his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Feng Lieyang, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Ye Lingling, and the others gathered at the Training Ground as Feng Xiaotian and Dean Meng released their martial souls and soul rings.

Feng Xiaotian tested his strength against Dean Meng, demonstrating his powerful defense and a Flame Storm he created alone. The storm trapped Dean Meng, who escaped and counterattacked with water bombs aimed at Feng Xiaotian.

• Feng Xiaotian challenged Dean Meng to spar and struck her Mysterious Ice Shield with Myriad Blades Return as One, but failed to break through it.
• Dean Meng attacked Feng Xiaotian with Frozen Blades and a Blue Light Ray, but his blue-gray defensive barrier dissipated the first attack and withstood the second.
• Feng Xiaotian created a Blazing Dragon Twister using the Extreme Heat Power from the Fire Dragon King's Right Torso Bone, surprising Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.
• Dean Meng's Mysterious Ice Shield began melting inside the Flame Storm, so she escaped with her Mysterious Ice Kun Fish and fired countless Water Bombs at Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian and Dean Meng tested their strength in a fierce sparring match, with Feng Xiaotian countering her water attacks and matching her Martial Soul Avatar. Dean Meng ended the match in a draw, and Feng Lieyang concluded that Feng Xiaotian could fight Soul Douluo-level opponents and might even challenge a Titled Douluo with Black Hole Space.

• Dean Meng used Water Bombs to drain Soul Power, but Feng Xiaotian summoned water element to absorb them before they could explode.
• Dean Meng and Feng Xiaotian activated their Martial Soul Avatars and clashed with ice, wind, and elemental attacks, neither gaining the advantage.
• After realizing she could not break Feng Xiaotian's shield or defeat him, Dean Meng stopped fighting and proposed ending the match.
• Feng Xiaotian argued that neither had won, and Dean Meng agreed to call the match a draw.
• Feng Lieyang praised their battle and said Feng Xiaotian could fight Soul Douluo-level Soul Masters, or even a Titled Douluo with Black Hole Space.

Feng Xiaotian discussed his Dragon Bone Power with Feng Lieyang and insisted on returning with him despite the danger from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. After news spread that Yue Guan had kept his secret about the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Feng Xiaotian prepared to leave for home, while Qian Renxue saw a chance to recruit him.

• Feng Xiaotian and Feng Lieyang agreed that his Dragon Bone Power would grow as his Soul Power increased, and Feng Xiaotian aimed to advance quickly.

After Dugu Bo's death left the poisoned Xue Ye without a cure, Feng Xiaotian prepared to return to Heaven Dou City amid fears of political turmoil. He gave Huo Wu the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Pill, while news of Dugu Bo's death reached Shrek Academy and Yu Xiaogang warned that the Empire's skies might change.

After Dugu Bo's death left Xue Ye without a poison expert, the Heavenly Dou Empire faced a worsening succession crisis. Xue Ye entrusted the dispute over Feng Xiaotian to Xue Qinghe, who intended to recruit him rather than drive him toward Spirit Hall.

• Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong worried that Dugu Bo's death would destabilize the empire and wished Tang San were there to help cure Xue Ye.

Feng Lieyang explained how Feng Xiaotian and Dugu Bo had clashed over a rare herb in Sunset Forest, leaving Yu Xiaogang and the others to face the dispute.

• Qian Renxue considered Yang Wudi a danger to her plans and felt a surge of killing intent.

Qian Renxue learned that Yang Wudi could potentially cure Xue Ye and considered eliminating him, while Feng Xiaotian warned her of his formidable strength. She tried to recruit Feng Xiaotian into the empire, but he declined and explained that he preferred Spirit Hall's treatment of commoners; Qian Renxue's response remained unknown.

• Feng Xiaotian told Qian Renxue that Yang Wudi led the Breaking Clan and might be able to detoxify Xue Ye, prompting her to consider having him killed.
• Feng Xiaotian warned Qian Renxue that Yang Wudi's offensive power rivaled a Titled Douluo, so she considered sending Spined Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo to deal with him.
• Qian Renxue offered to protect Feng Xiaotian from punishment and promised him noble titles if he served her, but he declined because he had accepted the position of Vice Dean at Godwind Academy and wanted to remain free.
• Qian Renxue asked Feng Xiaotian what he thought of Spirit Hall, and he said he preferred its system because it treated commoners equally and gave them opportunities to grow stronger.

Feng Xiaotian explained why he respected Spirit Hall’s ideals but refused to join under Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue found their goals aligned. He promised to seek her out after handling his affairs and reaching level 80, while Qian Renxue looked forward to seeing him again.

After learning Feng Xiaotian had escaped punishment and injured Dugu Yan, they enlisted the others to search for Tang San before Xue Ye’s illness allowed Xue Qinghe to seize power.
