• Ah Yin briefly awakened through her Blue Silver Emperor body and the right leg Soul Bone, pleading with Yu Mingfei to save Tang San.
• Yu Mingfei threatened to let Tang San die unless Ah Yin stopped resisting and healed his injured right leg.

• Yu Mingfei blocked most of Tang San’s energy, then let a small, dangerous mass escape through his hands and enter his own body.
• The energy competed with Yu Mingfei for the Soul Bone’s life force, settled around his spine, and triggered a system notification about an External Soul Bone Heterologous Absorption Method.

• Liu Erlong shouted for Yu Mingfei to stop as he tried to leave.

• Jiang Zhu discovered Yu Mingfei's Hundred-Year Soul Ring and tested his Soul Power, revealing that he had reached Rank Twenty.

• Yu Mingfei activated Martial Soul Possession to suppress his restless Eight Spider Lances, triggering a fusion with Liu Erlong that transformed them into a Flame Giant Dragon.

• Yu Mingfei spotted a third Soul Beast with blood-red eyes lurking beneath the treetops and suspected it feared an even more powerful nearby presence.
• Yu Mingfei took control of the Flame Giant Dragon and shouted, “Word Spirit: Lord Flame!” as a torrent of flames swept above the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yu Mingfei survived the Beast Tide with Liu Erlong and the others, but Dugu Bo captured him and demanded he cure Dugu Yan’s poison. He brought Yu Mingfei to Dugu Yan, whose poison and damaged Martial Soul had left her close to collapse.

• Liu Erlong urged Yu Mingfei to return to Blue Tyrant Academy, but Dugu Bo appeared and confronted him over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect’s attempt to hand him over.

• Dugu Bo brought Yu Mingfei to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling by the Nuoding River, where Dugu Yan had maintained Martial Soul Possession for ten days to contain her poison.
• Dugu Yan recognized Yu Mingfei as he landed in front of her Serpent Tail.

Yu Mingfei investigated why Dugu Yan's toxins were consuming her and traced the problem to a depleted Soul Bone that had been sold as powerful. The chapter ended with Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, and Ye Lingling stunned by the discovery.

• Dugu Yan explained how her damaged Martial Soul and the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid had left her Poison Arts at risk, while Dugu Bo described testing Yu Mingfei's detoxification method himself.
• Yu Mingfei concluded the detoxification method was sound and suspected the people carrying it out were the problem.
• Dugu Yan said she had bought a roughly twelve-hundred-year-old Jade Phosphorous Serpent Left Leg Bone after refusing Yu Tianheng's marriage proposal.

• Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, and Ye Lingling were left dumbfounded as Yu Mingfei criticized Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teaching.

Yu Mingfei agreed to treat Dugu Yan’s poison and asked Dugu Bo to bring him a fire-attribute Soul Beast, but he absorbed its Soul Ring instead of using its blood to help her. After gaining his second soul skill, Word Spirit: Blazing, he began drawing poison from Dugu Yan through a wound in her Serpent Tail.

• Yu Mingfei told Dugu Bo that Dugu Yan could be treated and ordered him to find a living fire-attribute Soul Beast no older than seven hundred years.
• While Dugu Bo searched, Yu Mingfei replanted the Blue Silver Emperor and recovered the Azure Phosphorus Flower Powder from his belongings.
• Dugu Bo returned with a six-hundred-and-eighty-year-old Crimson Flame Beast, and Yu Mingfei killed it and absorbed its Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
• Yu Mingfei gained the second soul skill Word Spirit: Blazing, while Dugu Bo’s hopes that the beast’s blood would help Dugu Yan were dashed.
• After examining Dugu Yan, Yu Mingfei cut open her Serpent Tail and plunged his hand into the wound as the poison spread up his arm.
• Yu Mingfei chanted Word Spirit: Deep Blood to begin treating Dugu Yan.

Yu Mingfei drew Dugu Yan’s uncontrollable poison into his own body to make his death look convincing and escape Dugu Bo, but Dugu Yan saved him with the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid. His poison was neutralized and his Soul Power surged, leaving his escape plan in disarray as he woke on Dugu Yan’s lap.

• Yu Mingfei used [Word Spirit: Deep Blood] and the Eight Spider Lances to draw the uncontrolled poison from Dugu Yan while hiding his immunity to it.
• Dugu Yan released her Martial Soul Possession after the poison left her, and Dugu Bo confirmed that the immediate danger had passed.
• Yu Mingfei collapsed and appeared to be dying, prompting Ye Lingling to try healing him with the Nine Heart Begonia.
• Dugu Yan fed Yu Mingfei half a Nine-Petal Golden Orchid and supported his head on her lap, believing the treasure was the only way to save him.
• The orchid neutralized the poison and sent Yu Mingfei’s Soul Power surging, ruining his plan to fake his death and escape.
• Yu Mingfei woke on Dugu Yan’s lap as she and Ye Lingling asked how he felt.

Yu Mingfei revealed that Dugu Yan’s poison backlash had been cured, but her damaged Martial Soul and leaking Soul Bone still threatened her. Dugu Bo tried to take Yu Mingfei’s Soul Bone to help his granddaughter, and Yu Mingfei warned that its poison-control ability was already gone.

• Yu Mingfei realized the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid had removed the Eight Spider Lances’ venom, ruining his plan to develop poison-based combat techniques.
• Dugu Bo declared that Yu Mingfei had gained benefits from saving Dugu Yan and offered his protection from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
• Yu Mingfei exposed that Dugu Yan’s leaking Soul Bone and damaged Martial Soul remained unresolved, prompting Dugu Bo to examine her and discover the problem.
• Ye Lingling asked Yu Mingfei to help Dugu Yan, while Yu Mingfei reconsidered their relationship after Dugu Yan had used the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid to save him.
• Dugu Bo mistook the Eight Spider Lances attached to Yu Mingfei’s spine for a poison-controlling Torso Soul Bone and tried to kill him to obtain it.
• Dugu Yan stopped Dugu Bo, and Yu Mingfei warned them that the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid had already stripped the Soul Bone of its poison-control ability.
