After he agreed to let her help, he saw how quickly she was weakening and abruptly left the cultivation chamber, prompting Yu Yuanzhen to warn him not to act on impulse.

• Half a day later, Yu Xiaoheng saw Liu Erlong barely sustained by Ning Zhenyuan in the cultivation chamber and left abruptly, while Yu Yuanzhen warned him not to act on impulse.

Yu Xiaoheng insisted on tempering his body before age twelve to help save Liu Erlong, despite Yu Yuanzhen’s warning and Yu Xiaogang’s taunts. He reached the Thunder Pool to find the sect and its allies had prepared a costly medicinal bath to aid his training.

• Yu Xiaoheng told Yu Yuanzhen he wanted to temper his body early, explaining that he needed to strengthen himself to save Liu Erlong.

• Yu Xiaoheng discovered Tang Wei, the Four Great Clans, and the sect elders gathered there to support his body tempering.
• Yu Yuanzhen announced the resources and future services the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had promised in exchange for aid, and the Four Great Clans prepared a medicinal bath with precious pills and herbs.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan prepared an extravagant body-tempering ceremony for Yu Xiaoheng, using thirty-six Jade Marrow Thunder Stones and support from the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Yu Xiaogang demanded the three stones he had once been promised, revealing his determination to fight for resources and prove his Martial Soul could evolve too.

• Yu Xiaogang recalled that he believed his Martial Soul could evolve and decided to make a public scene to pressure the elders into giving him resources.
• Yu Xiaogang resolved to study theoretical knowledge and seize every opportunity to prove his Martial Soul could evolve like Yu Xiaoheng's.

Yu Xiaogang challenged the decision to use thirty-six Jade Marrow Thunder Stones on six-year-old Yu Xiaoheng, arguing that the boy was too young to advance far in the Thunderous Body Tempering Method. Yu Yuanzhen ordered the ceremony to continue, and Ning Zhenyuan began supporting Yu Xiaoheng with all seven of his Seven Treasures Pagoda abilities.

• Yu Xiaogang cited clan records to argue that Yu Xiaoheng's undeveloped bloodline meant the stones would mostly be wasted and that he could not reach the third stage, Solidified Thunder Bones.
• Yu Yuanzhen struck Yu Xiaogang down with Soul Power, apologized to the guests for his son's outburst, and declared that the body-tempering ceremony would continue.
• Clan members began doubting the decision, while Ning Zhenyuan and Tang Wei defended Yu Xiaoheng's exceptional talent and encouraged Yu Yuanzhen to proceed.
• Yu Xiaoheng prepared to enter the Thunder Pool, knowing that he needed to reach Solidified Thunder Bones to save Erlong but was unsure he could overcome his age.
• Ning Zhenyuan activated Seven Treasures True Body and used all six of his soul skills to amplify Yu Xiaoheng as the ceremony began.

Yu Xiaoheng entered the Thunder Pool and reached perfection in Initial Meridian Opening, but his body could not endure any further tempering. He fed Xi Guang Grass and Dragon Blood Ganoderma to his Golden Holy Dragon Hatchling, using their energy to break through to Initial Dragon Scale Manifestation as the gathered clans celebrated.

As Yu Xiaoheng prepared to quit, Liu Erlong told him she did not care what happened to her as long as he was safe, and the chapter ended with an enraged shout.

• Yu Xiaogang realized Yu Xiaoheng’s Golden Holy Dragon was a Split Body Spirit and wondered whether Luo San Pao could consume external objects too.

Yu Xiaoheng absorbed the Thunder Pool’s power, evolved his Golden Holy Dragon Spirit, and broke through to the Fourth Level of Body Tempering. As the clan celebrated his success, Yu Xiaogang endured their scorn and took it as proof that his theory of Martial Soul evolution was right.

• Yu Xiaoheng used the Thunder Pool and Holy Dragon Bone to awaken his Golden Holy Dragon Spirit’s command over lightning, then devoured the surrounding thunder to stabilize its evolution.
• The Thunder Pool’s lightning vortex kept pouring into Yu Xiaoheng, alarming the elders and his family as they feared the energy would damage him.

After hearing of Yu Xiaoheng’s power, Tang Hao vowed to face him in a future Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament. As Yu Xiaoheng prepared to seek his First Spirit Ring, Yu Yuanzhen named him Young Sect Master and placed the clan’s next generation in his hands, leaving Yu Xiaoheng to lead them toward the clan’s future.

• The disciples swore loyalty to Yu Xiaoheng and the clan, while Yu Xiaoheng recognized that his new authority came from his status as heir.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan marched into the Star Dou Great Forest with Yu Yuanzhen escorting Yu Xiaoheng, astonishing onlookers and drawing the attention of Skywater Academy’s students. Ah Yin and Rou'er recognized Yu Xiaoheng’s unprecedented fortune and realized he could offer a transformed soul beast an extraordinary chance to grow.

• Yu Yuanzhen led the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s forces toward the Star Dou Great Forest, with Yu Xiaoheng at the center of the procession.

Ah Yin and Rou'er left Skywater Academy’s group to judge Lin Qinglan for themselves, while the Blue Lightning Sect party found a herd of Xi Guang Linju for Yu Xiaoheng’s first spirit ring. Just as Yu Xiaoheng was about to claim a subdued beast, a stronger Linju ambushed him, and he calmly stopped Yu Yuanzhen from intervening.

• Ah Yin and Rou'er left the academy group and vanished into the forest to investigate Lin Qinglan and his party.
• Yu Xiaogang recalled how he had begged Yu Yuanzhen to join the hunt and prepared Luo San Pao to devour dragon blood.
• A scout reported a complete Xi Guang Linju herd three miles ahead, and Yu Yuanzhen ordered the sect disciples to surround it.
• Yu Yuanzhen pinned the two thirty-thousand-year Xi Guang Linju with his lightning, while the elders subdued a roughly fourteen-hundred-year beast for Yu Xiaoheng.
• A lone Linju with more than two thousand years of cultivation ambushed Yu Xiaoheng, and Yu Xiaoheng told Yu Yuanzhen there was no need to intervene.

Yu Xiaoheng faced a mutated Xi Guang Linju with ancestral bloodline reversion and matched it in combat despite having no Spirit Ring. After the beast was captured, he prepared to kill it and absorb a 1,400-year Spirit Ring as his first, leaving Ah Yin and Rou'er astonished by the risk.

• Yu Xiaoheng discovered that a powerful, mutated Xi Guang Linju with ancestral bloodline reversion had been hiding near the herd.

• Yu Xiaogang grew jealous as the captured Xi Guang Linju became Yu Xiaoheng's possession.
• Yu Xiaoheng accepted a Jade Dagger to kill the 1,400-year Xi Guang Linju and absorb its Spirit Ring as his first, leaving Ah Yin and Rou'er wondering whether he would succeed.

Yu Xiaoheng rejected the planned Soul Ring and chose a powerful Dragon Transformation Ancestral Awakening Xi Guang Linju, then used its hatred for its family’s torment to enhance the Soul Ring. The mutant died, leaving a deep Purple Spirit Ring speckled with gold for Yu Xiaoheng to absorb.

• Yu Xiaoheng decided to take the over-two-thousand-five-hundred-year Dragonized Linju as his First Spirit Ring, and Yu Yuanzhen reluctantly approved.
• Yu Xiaoheng wounded the one-thousand-four-hundred-year Xi Guang Linju to provoke the Dragonized Linju’s hatred and explained how extreme emotion could strengthen a Soul Ring.
• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders and disciples tortured the subdued thirty-thousand-year Xi Guang Linju parents and kin before the Dragonized Linju.
• Yu Xiaoheng killed the Dragonized Linju at the peak of its hatred, and its Purple Spirit Ring with golden specks rose from its corpse.
