Chapter Summaries

Yu Xiaoheng absorbed the Dragonized Linju’s spirit ring while Yu Xiaogang’s attempt to strengthen himself through its flesh earned him only the clan’s scorn. With the ancestor’s help and Yu Yuanzhen’s Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a catalyst, Yu Xiaoheng condensed an External Soul Bone beside his heart.

• Yu Xiaoheng began absorbing the Dragonized Linju’s purple-gold Thousand Year Spirit Ring and endured its violent energy with his perfected physique.
• Yu Xiaogang fed Linju flesh to Luo San Pao and himself, suffering intense pain while the elders blamed him for causing trouble during Yu Xiaoheng’s absorption.
• Yu Xiaogang resolved to become strong on his own and treat the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as a stepping stone.
• The ancestor told Yu Xiaoheng that a soul bone could catalyze the condensation of an External Soul Bone.
• Yu Yuanzhen offered his Ten Thousand Year right arm bone, which shattered and poured into Yu Xiaoheng’s chest.
• Yu Xiaoheng formed the External Soul Bone known as the Heart-Protecting Dragon Ribs beside his heart.

After absorbing a powerful Soul Ring, Yu Xiaoheng gained the Dragon God Possession skill and discovered that his External Soul Bone could convert different attributes into dragon power. He considered expanding the Holy Dragon’s patterns and planned to pursue Extreme Lightning and Extreme Fire, with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a possible source of fire energy.

• Yu Xiaoheng awakened with his Soul Power at level fifteen and gained the Dragon God Possession as his first Spirit Skill.
• He discovered that the skill could work with the Holy Dragon’s Thunder Mark and a newly formed Fire Pattern, which he traced to Liu Erlong’s Fire Dragon Power.
• Yu Xiaoheng sensed that his Heart-Protecting Dragon Ribs could purify dragon bloodlines and convert absorbed elemental energies into fundamental Dragon Clan Power.
• He realized that the Soul Bone might let him develop additional attribute patterns through Martial Soul Fusion Skills with other Soul Masters.
• His ancestor praised his Perfected Dragon Body and advised him to cultivate the Thunder Mark toward Extreme Lightning in the family Thunder Pool.
• Yu Xiaoheng resolved to seek a fire-attribute cultivation ground to develop Extreme Fire and identified the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a possibility.

Yu Xiaoheng planned to seek an Ice Pattern and an Immortal Herb to strengthen his Golden Holy Dragon Spirit after obtaining a powerful first ring. In the forest, Ah Yin resolved to avoid him, but Rou'er instead considered using her Charm to make him fall in love with her and then break his heart.

• Yu Xiaoheng realized he needed an Ice Pattern to balance his Fire Pattern and planned to contact the Shui Family, strengthen his bond with Liu Erlong, and obtain the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma.
• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples celebrated Yu Xiaoheng's two-thousand-year first Spirit Ring and the growth of his Golden Holy Dragon Hatchling.

• Ah Yin decided to flee with Rou'er, but Rou'er proposed using her Charm to make Yu Xiaoheng love her before abandoning him.

Rou'er set out to punish the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Titled Douluo, while Yu Xiaoheng considered using an exchange competition to get closer to the Shui Family. Rou'er was captured while trying to approach Yu Xiaoheng, and she remained excited despite the guards' suspicions.

• Rou'er ignored Ah Yin's warnings, used Breath Concealing Grass to hide her Soul Beast aura, and left Ah Yin to hide with Xiao Wu.
• Yu Xiaogang absorbed the Xi Guang Linju's essence, raised his Soul Power from level 0.8 to 0.9, and silently followed the clan party.
• Yu Xiaoheng considered arranging an exchange competition between Lightning Academy and Skywater Academy to approach the Shui Family's ancestor.
• Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi spotted Yu Xiaoheng riding with the clan party, and Lin Qinglan teased them after he passed.
• A guard reported that Rou'er had tried to approach Yu Xiaoheng's mount, and the guards brought her before him as a suspected assassin.

Yu Xiaoheng recognized Rou'er as a likely transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and had her taken back as his personal maid. He planned to deceive her into willingly sacrificing herself so he could gain her Soul Ring and strengthen his Martial Soul.

• Yu Xiaoheng suspected that Rou'er, who resembled Xiao Wu, was a transformed Soft Bone Rabbit and told Yu Yuanzhen what he believed.
• Yu Yuanzhen used Breath Concealing Grass to confirm Rou'er was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and concealed the discovery from the others.
• Yu Yuanzhen ordered Rou'er taken back to the sect to serve as Yu Xiaoheng's personal maid.
• Yu Xiaoheng decided to make Rou'er fall in love with him and create a desperate situation in which she would willingly sacrifice herself.
• Yu Xiaoheng also regretted that he could not make Ah Yin sacrifice herself, since her life force might help his Martial Soul evolve even more.

Yu Xiaoheng told Yu Yuanzhen that he wanted to evolve his Martial Soul by combining lightning and ice, and asked to compete against Skywater Academy. Yu Yuanzhen arranged for him to study temporarily at Lightning Academy and promised to search Sunset Forest for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; the chapter ended with a slender figure imprisoned in the clan dungeon.

• Yu Xiaoheng met Yu Yuanzhen, who explained how Blue Tyrant Academy and Lightning Academy served the clan and noted Lightning Academy’s declining influence.
• Yu Xiaoheng asked Yu Yuanzhen to arrange an Exchange Competition between the Four Element Academies so he could target someone from Skywater Academy.

• Yu Yuanzhen told Yu Xiaoheng to take a woman with him, and a slender figure was shown curled up in the deepest cell of the clan dungeon.

Rou'er woke in a dungeon after being captured and planned to use her charm to take revenge on Yu Xiaoheng. When Yu Xiaoheng entered, he offered to release her, claiming he had no real power in his family.

• Rou'er woke in the dungeon and confirmed that the herb hiding her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast aura was still in her collar.
• Rou'er overheard two guards threaten to abuse her and sell her, then resolved to use her charm to manipulate Yu Xiaoheng and escape.

• Rou'er recognized Yu Xiaoheng's guilt and questioned what would happen to him if his family discovered he had released her.

Rou'er decided to stay in the dungeon as Yu Xiaoheng’s maid after mistaking his scheme to win her over for brotherly loyalty. Yu Xiaoheng remained intent on taking her spirit ring and spirit bone, and half a month later he continued visiting her while preparing to take her to Lightning Academy.

• Rou'er refused to leave Yu Xiaoheng and offered to become his maid, deciding they were brothers who should stand by each other.
• Yu Xiaoheng left the dungeon and told Yu Lin and Yu Hu that his plan had mostly worked, though Rou'er saw him as a brother rather than a love interest.
• Yu Xiaoheng privately resolved to keep scheming against Rou'er and claimed he would take her spirit ring and spirit bone.
• Over the next half month, Yu Xiaoheng’s Soul Power rose toward Level 17 as he regularly brought Rou'er food and drinks in the dungeon.
• Yu Xiaoheng entered the dungeon again with a food box and freshly squeezed carrot juice.

Yu Xiaoheng freed Rou'er from the dungeon and brought her with Liu Erlong and a small escort to Lightning Academy. The headmaster, Lei Xiaotian, recognized the aura of Yu Yuanzhen, who had personally escorted them, and knelt to welcome Yu Xiaoheng.

• Rou'er thanked Yu Xiaoheng for the food, and he told her he could take her out of the dungeon and bring her to Lightning Academy.
• Yu Xiaoheng led Rou'er, Liu Erlong, Yu Lin, and Yu Hu toward Lightning Academy while Yu Yuanzhen secretly escorted them from the mountains.
• Rou'er warmly embraced Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaoheng, called Liu Erlong his worthy younger sister, and quickly became close with her.
• Yu Xiaoheng's party arrived at Lightning Academy, where headmaster Lei Xiaotian and instructors Fang Kun and Yina'er awaited them.
• Lei Xiaotian sensed Yu Yuanzhen's Titled Douluo aura and knelt before Yu Xiaoheng, astonishing Fang Kun, Yina'er, and the academy's onlookers.

Ah Yin watched Yu Xiaoheng bring Rou'er into Lightning Academy and rented a nearby room so she could find a chance to rescue her. Inside the academy, Rou'er excitedly called Yu Xiaoheng family as he led her through the grounds.

• Yu Xiaoheng and his companions entered Lightning Academy after Lei Xiaotian sensed powerful Spirit Douluo guards nearby.
• Ah Yin saw Rou'er enter the academy and decided to stay nearby while planning a rescue.
• Ah Yin rented a room near the academy for three Gold Soul Coins a month and worried about her dwindling savings.
• Ah Yin considered earning money in the Spirit Fighting Arena so she could afford to rescue Rou'er and support Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming.
• Rou'er praised Yu Xiaoheng's family for the headmaster's deference, and Yu Xiaoheng silently tolerated her calling them family for the sake of her Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

Yu Xiaoheng arrived at Lightning Academy with Rou'er and Liu Erlong, received a protective Soul Tool from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and learned about the upcoming Four Element Academy Exchange Competition. The chapter left Rou'er preparing to confront a student who insulted their sect while Liu Erlong noticed Yu Xiaoheng’s strange expression.

• Rou'er praised Yu Xiaoheng’s milk tea and promised to repay his generosity while Yu Lin and Yu Hu silently noted its value.
• Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect elders delivered Yu Xiaoheng a Dragon Scale Purple Gold Armor capable of resisting a Spirit Emperor’s full-force strike.
• Yu Xiaoheng noticed Ah Yin happily eating discarded candy from his merchant caravan but continued into the academy with Rou'er and Liu Erlong.
• Yu Xiaoheng overheard Lightning Academy students complain that Tianshui Academy’s Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi were likely to dominate the upcoming competition.
• Rou'er first agreed with a student criticizing the competition, then realized he had insulted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and prepared to teach him a lesson.
• Liu Erlong laughed at Rou'er’s reaction and noticed that Yu Xiaoheng looked strange.

Yu Xiaoheng accepted the students’ criticism of the Four Elements Exchange Competition and focused on reaching level 20 so he could choose a spirit ring that would advance his Martial Soul’s evolution. After the group left, Lei Xiaotian arrived at the plaza and confronted the students for insulting Yu Xiaoheng and questioning the academy’s arrangements.

• Yu Xiaoheng decided he would challenge Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er’s ancestors to earn their respect and propose a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but he waited to reach level 20 before choosing his next spirit ring.
• Yu Xiaoheng took Liu Erlong and Rou'er to settle into the dorms, leaving the complaining students behind in the plaza.
• Lei Xiaotian learned from the Blue Lightning Sect Elders that the students had insulted Yu Xiaoheng, and he hurried to suppress the crowd with his Soul Power.
• Lei Xiaotian summoned the academy teachers and asked the students whether they were dissatisfied with holding the Four Elements Exchange Competition.
• Several students defended their complaints, but Lei Xiaotian ignored them and began accusing them of openly questioning the academy’s arrangements.

Lei Xiaotian punished Lightning Academy's students for criticizing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and its exchange competition. Yu Xiaoheng arrived to take command of the Lightning Team expecting resistance, but the members accepted him immediately because they feared offending his sect.

• Lei Xiaotian ordered the students who had complained about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and its competition to run one hundred laps, then warned them not to speak ill of the sect, the competition, or its proposer.
• Yu Xiaoheng heard the exhausted students groaning outside his courtyard and concluded that Lightning Academy's weak resolve explained its repeated losses.
• Yu Xiaoheng visited Lightning Academy's official team and watched Lei Hao and Qin Yue lead their teammates through intense sparring.
• Lei Kun introduced Yu Xiaoheng as the Lightning Team's new captain for the Four Element Academy Exchange Competition.
• Lei Hao and the other six team members accepted Yu Xiaoheng without objection because they knew he was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's young master and feared the consequences of offending him.

Yu Xiaoheng and his companions were excluded from the Lightning Academy team’s training, and the team members openly dismissed his strength. When Qin Yue struck Rou'er with lightning, Yu Xiaoheng grew angry, leaving Liu Erlong and Rou'er wary of what he might do next.

• Rou'er proclaimed herself the team members’ big sister and promised to protect them, but they returned to training without including her, Yu Xiaoheng, or Liu Erlong.
• Lei Hao told Yu Xiaoheng that his low Soul Power and unfamiliarity with the team’s tactics made him unfit to join their training.
• Rou'er challenged Lei Hao’s decision, and Qin Yue lashed her with a Lightning Vine, leaving her numb and staggering.
• Lei Hao used Rou'er’s defeat to belittle her combat ability and Yu Xiaoheng’s strength, while the other team members showed their disdain.
• Yu Xiaoheng grew angry as he watched Rou'er rub her injured arm, and Liu Erlong quietly signaled that they could use their martial soul fusion if needed.

Yu Xiaoheng demanded that Lei Hao and his teammates sincerely apologize to Rou'er, escalating the confrontation at Lightning Academy. When Feng Kai attacked, Yu Xiaoheng prepared to test his strength against the students.

• Rou'er tried to stop Yu Xiaoheng from confronting Lei Hao, but Yu Xiaoheng moved her and Liu Erlong behind him and demanded an apology for her injury.
• Lei Hao's team offered a perfunctory apology, but Yu Xiaoheng insisted that they apologize sincerely.
• Feng Kai and Qin Yue protested, and Lei Hao offered to apologize for Qin Yue, but Yu Xiaoheng demanded that she speak for herself.
• Lei Hao lost his temper as his six teammates released their Soul Power, while Yu Xiaoheng challenged them by asking what would happen if he pushed them too far.
• Feng Kai used Martial Soul Possession and lunged at Yu Xiaoheng, who summoned the Golden Holy Dragon Spirit and readied himself to test his strength.

Yu Xiaoheng defeated Feng Kai and Qin Yue in the first exchange, revealing a powerful Dragon God Possession and a nearly three-thousand-year-old First Spirit Ring. He turned his attention to Lei Hao and the remaining Lightning Team members, ready to continue fighting.

• Yu Xiaoheng shattered Feng Kai's arm and sent him crashing into a wall with one punch, despite Feng Kai's level advantage and Lightning Fang.
• Qin Yue and Feng Kai attacked Yu Xiaoheng together with Vine Lock and Lightning Fang Bite, while Liu Erlong and Rou'er cried out in alarm.
• Yu Xiaoheng activated Dragon God Possession, suppressing the Martial Souls in the room and revealing his deep purple First Spirit Ring, which the instructors estimated was nearly three thousand years old.
• Yu Xiaoheng evaded Qin Yue's vines, dragged her toward him, and disrupted her Soul Power with a light strike; his golden protection shattered Feng Kai's lightning attack.
• Yu Xiaoheng left Feng Kai severely injured and Qin Yue unable to fight, then turned toward Lei Hao and the remaining Lightning Team members with his battle intent rising.

Yu Xiaoheng faced the five remaining members of the Lightning Team, intent on testing himself and revealing none of his hidden trump cards. He defeated them all in moments, leaving the fight over and wondering why the Four Element Academy team had been so weak.

• Yu Xiaoheng challenged the Lightning Team to attack him together while keeping his remaining abilities secret.
• Lei Hao rallied his four teammates, and the five surrounded Yu Xiaoheng and launched a coordinated assault.
• Yu Xiaoheng caught Lei Hao's claw, then used him to knock the long-range fighter's thunderball back into both of them.
• Yu Xiaoheng shattered the Defense Type Spirit Master's Lightning Shield with a punch and sent him flying.
• Yu Xiaoheng evaded the final two fighters' attacks and knocked them unconscious, defeating all five remaining team members.

Yu Xiaoheng defeated the Lightning Team and earned their loyalty as captain, but learned the Four Element Academy Exchange Competition was only a month and a half away. The Shui sisters had both reached level 30 and possessed a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, leaving the team doubtful they could win.

• Yu Xiaoheng overwhelmed the seven members of the Lightning Team, and they apologized to Rou'er after he demanded it.
• Lei Hao and the other team members made Yu Xiaoheng their captain and vowed to follow him.
• Yu Xiaoheng asked about the competition, and Lei Hao said it would take place in a little over a year.
• Yu Xiaoheng corrected him, saying the competition was in a little over a month, and Qin Yue revealed that the Shui sisters had both reached level 30 and possessed a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Lei Hao and Qin Yue warned that the team had little chance of winning in the time remaining, despite Yu Xiaoheng's talent.

Yu Xiaoheng rallied the Lightning Academy team to prepare for Skywater Academy despite their opponents’ advantage, while privately focusing on his own evolution. That night, he received a letter from Bibi Dong describing her breakthrough to level 20 and her new spirit ring.

• Rou'er defended Yu Xiaoheng after Lei Hao doubted their chances against Skywater Academy’s level 30 pair and Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Yu Xiaoheng urged the Lightning Team to keep trying, promising to cultivate toward level 20 and work with Liu Erlong to improve their coordination.
• Yu Xiaoheng privately considered the difficulty of winning and decided the competition mattered less than his evolution and meeting the Shui sisters.
• The Lightning Team and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect elders praised Yu Xiaoheng’s composure and resolve.
• Elder Yu Shan secretly delivered Bibi Dong’s letter to Yu Xiaoheng, who read that she had reached level 20 and obtained a fifteen-hundred-year-old spider-type Spirit Ring.

Yu Xiaoheng replied to Bibi Dong’s letter by hinting that he needed Spirit Hall’s help finding a suitable soul beast, knowingly using her feelings to access its resources. He then ordered three clan elders to strike him with their lightning Soul Power, revealing that his body could absorb and refine their attacks.

• Yu Xiaoheng read Bibi Dong’s letter, learned she hoped to meet him at the Heaven Dou City Spirit Fighting Arena, and worried that Qian Xunji might punish her if he discovered her actions.
• Yu Xiaoheng wrote back with words of comfort, then suggested that his struggle to find a suitable soul ring might prevent him from visiting, prompting Bibi Dong to use Spirit Hall’s intelligence network to help him.
• Yu Xiaoheng sent the letter away through a shadowy messenger and summoned Elders Yu Shan, Yu Hai, and Yu Feng to temper his body with their lightning Soul Power.
• The three elders warned Yu Xiaoheng that their combined lightning could be dangerous, but he ordered them to attack without holding back.
• Elder Yu Shan struck Yu Xiaoheng with a lightning serpent, which his body absorbed and refined into Dragon Lightning Power, and Yu Xiaoheng told the other elders to attack together.
