After returning to Spirit City, Xiao Ze organized Spirit Hall’s Soul Tool division and assigned its leaders. He learned that Lou Gao was still bringing blacksmiths from Gengxin City, and the chapter ended with the newcomers preparing to develop Soul Tools for Spirit Hall.

Over six months, Spirit Hall expanded Spirit City and developed Soul Tools under Xiao Ze’s direction. Bibi Dong showed Xiao Ze unexpected maternal affection before they reached the research institute, where Lou Gao and Old Wang argued over a Soul Tool design.

• Bibi Dong dismissed worries about Xiao Ze and the Silver Dragon King, then reflected on the powerful beings she had learned about and went to sleep.
• Blacksmiths from Gengxin City established an association in Spirit City, mass-produced lower-level Soul Tools, and began expanding the city with help from the Strength Clan.
• Taino offered to build Spirit City's walls for free, and Xiao Ze accepted; Lou Gao later arrived and advanced to third-level Soul Tools, spurring a rivalry with Old Wang.
• Xiao Ze and Bibi Dong visited the research institute to assess whether third-level Soul Tools could become standard equipment for Spirit Hall's legions.
• Bibi Dong stroked Xiao Ze's head and flicked his nose, then abruptly withdrew when he pointed out they had nearly arrived.
• Lou Gao and Old Wang argued over how to draw a Soul Tool's route, each insisting his design was better.

Xiao Ze settled the dispute between Lou Gao and Old Wang by allowing Lou Gao to lead a small research team while Old Wang focused on producing standard Soul Tools. Lou Gao then demonstrated the new Type III rifle and sniper rifle, and the sniper rifle’s destructive power impressed Bibi Dong.

• Lou Gao argued with Old Wang over pursuing Soul Tool research instead of focusing on standard production.
• Xiao Ze let Old Wang continue making standard Soul Tools and allowed Lou Gao to choose ten people for a research team, promising him five percent of future sales revenue for his inventions.

• At Bibi Dong’s request, Lou Gao fired the sniper rifle at a target eight hundred meters away and destroyed it in a single shot.
• Bibi Dong judged the shot powerful enough to threaten even a Soul King.

Xiao Ze accompanied Lan Xiyao to the Blue Silver Forest, where she tried using her Life Tree powers to strengthen the Blue Silver Grass.

• Lan Xiyao spread weakened Life Tree energy across the forest to gradually improve its Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Kings, then left with Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze spent months building Spirit Hall’s Soul Tool Army and developing its forces while the God of Agriculture researched Soul Cores. After many simulations, Xiao Ze began condensing a Life Soul Core, drawing in a massive torrent of Spiritual Energy as Bibi Dong and the others watched anxiously.

• The Blue Silver Life Tree nourished Xiao Ze’s Spirits, helping several reach Epic and Legendary grades.
• Xiao Ze began condensing a Life Soul Core with the God of Agriculture’s guidance, while Bibi Dong, Ning Rongrong, and the others watched anxiously as a vast Spiritual Energy vortex formed.

Xiao Ze successfully condensed a Life Soul Core, which automatically absorbed Spiritual Energy and restored his Soul Power. After reuniting with Bibi Dong and the others, he planned to use knowledge of Soul Cores to strengthen Spirit Hall while its researchers worked toward Level 9 Soul Tools.

• Bibi Dong watched Xiao Ze condense a Soul Core while the Rakshasa God explained the importance of Spiritual Power and reassured her that he was safe.
• Xiao Ze drew Life Force from the Blue Silver Life Tree into his crystallizing Soul Power and formed an emerald Life Soul Core.
• Xiao Ze placed the Life Soul Core in his lower dantian and confirmed with the God of Agriculture that it was absorbing Spiritual Energy and producing Soul Power.
• Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling rushed to check Xiao Ze after he left the room, while Bibi Dong noticed his new aura.
• Xiao Ze told Bibi Dong that he would publish a book about Soul Cores but keep the exact condensation method for those who joined Spirit Hall.
• Xiao Ze said Spirit Hall needed to advance its Soul Tool research, though Lou Gao and Old Wang still lacked the strength to manufacture even Level 8 Soul Tools.

Xiao Ze explained the limits and origins of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Souls while Bibi Dong prepared to release the Soul Core. At the Worship Hall, the worshippers worried about Xiao Ze’s growing influence and proposed a match with Qian Renxue, leaving the decision to her.

• Bibi Dong agreed to have someone handle the Soul Core’s release, and Xiao Ze told Ning Rongrong that Soul Cores could not fix the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s origin problem.
• Xiao Ze explained that Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Masters passed half their Martial Soul Origin to their children, and Ye Lingling said she did not mind if the Martial Soul disappeared.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo warned that mass-produced Soul Tools could let Spirit Hall’s legions crush the Two Great Empires.
• Qian Daoliu reassured the worshippers that Xiao Ze would not seize Spirit Hall, while Falling Devil Douluo suggested that Xiao Ze and Qian Renxue get together.
• Qian Daoliu said he would write to Qian Renxue and let her decide for herself.

The Soul Core method released by Spirit Hall caused sects and empires across the continent to consider how they could obtain it. Qian Renxue urged Xue Ye to pursue the method and prepared to return to Spirit Hall, also reflecting on her grandfather’s request that she marry Xiao Ze.

• At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo discussed whether Soul Cores were real and decided to visit Spirit Hall to learn what Xiao Ze wanted in exchange for the method.
• Xue Ye asked Qian Renxue whether Soul Cores were genuine, and she argued that Spirit Hall had revealed them to attract independent Soul Masters.
• Xue Ye sent a guard to investigate Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City, and the guard reported that many local Soul Masters had gathered there, with some planning to join Spirit Hall.
• Qian Renxue persuaded Xue Ye to let her seek the Soul Core method for the Heaven Dou Empire, then left, intending to return to Spirit Hall.
• Qian Renxue recalled that her grandfather wanted her to marry Xiao Ze and considered him a worthy partner.

Xiao Ze gained Faith after Spirit Hall’s reputation spread and prepared to take Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest once he was strong enough to absorb her Soul Ring. Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong visited Spirit City, saw its new Soul Tools and construction, and found Xiao Ze working in the Pope’s seat.

• Xiao Ze reached level seventy after condensing the Life Soul Core, but planned to wait until his physique could handle Xiao Wu’s Soul Ring.
• The God of Agriculture told Xiao Ze that people across Douluo Continent had quickly given him Faith after Spirit Hall released a book.

• Ning Fengzhi realized Rongrong had likely wanted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to acquire Soul Tools for its support Soul Masters.
• Ning Fengzhi joked about Xiao Ze sitting in the Pope’s seat, and Xiao Ze complained that the Pope carried too much work.
