• Ning Rongrong ran into the night, crying and wondering why Chen Fan would not acknowledge how much she had changed.
• Ning Rongrong stopped on a deserted street in Heaven Dou City, where three ill-intentioned men approached her.

Na'er secretly rescued Ning Rongrong from three attackers and watched her decide to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Meanwhile, Chen Fan reflected on his Soul Skills and realized that his Second Soul Ring’s core was control over minds and emotions.

• Three Soul Masters cornered Ning Rongrong, but Na'er silently knocked them unconscious before they could harm her.

• Na'er watched Ning Rongrong leave and resolved to keep her away from Chen Fan without harming her.
• Chen Fan reviewed the day’s events and realized that his Second Soul Ring’s abilities centered on controlling minds and emotions.

Chen Fan discovered Heart Fire, a soul-burning technique that ignited intense emotions, and combined it with Penetrating Nether to create fireworks for Na'er. As Chen Fan and Na'er shared a kiss and more fireworks, Ning Rongrong saw them and was left heartbroken.

• Chen Fan awakened Heart Fire through his Second Soul Ring and tested it by setting emotionally agitated insects ablaze with Penetrating Nether.

• The Shrek group realized Ning Rongrong might have been their only connection to Xue Qinghe and their only hope of challenging the academy's lifetime ban.

After Ning Rongrong left Shrek Academy, the group grasped for ways to bring her back, and Yu Xiaogang proposed using Tang San’s father, Tang Hao, to challenge Xue Qinghe’s order. The chapter ended with Tang Hao discovering that Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass and Spirit Bone had been stolen and unleashing his fury.

• Tang Hao found his wooden house destroyed and discovered that Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass and one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone were missing.
• Tang Hao roared in grief and rage, summoned his nine soul rings, and released a terrifying killing intent.

Zi Ji took Ah Yin’s seed and hundred-thousand-year soul bone from Tang Hao, suspecting the circumstances of Ah Yin’s sacrifice and deciding to entrust them to Chen Fan. Meanwhile, Chen Fan studied his newly awakened Heart Fire and began to understand how it connected destruction with new life.

• Zi Ji questioned the timing and circumstances of Spirit Hall’s pursuit of Ah Yin and doubted why Tang Hao had not taken her to the Clear Sky Sect for protection.
• Zi Ji decided not to trust Tang Hao with Ah Yin’s future and chose to bring her seed and soul bone to Chen Fan.
• Zi Ji left the jade box in a secluded alley in Heaven Dou City and sent Chen Fan a message explaining what it contained.
• Chen Fan studied the Heart Fire in his courtyard and considered how fire represented cycles of time, life, and death.
• Chen Fan realized that destruction could begin new life, and the Heart Fire in his palm leaped.

After Chen Fan injured himself trying to turn his own life force into energy, Na'er returned with a powerful azure leg bone that he recognized as a high-quality Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Chen Fan began absorbing its life energy to restore his vitality and help Na'er recover, while she stood guard.

• Chen Fan tried to convert his life force with Heart Fire, but the attempt left him badly weakened.
• Na'er briefly left, then returned excitedly with a jade box containing a blue blade of grass and an azure leg bone.
• Chen Fan sensed the leg bone's immense life energy and concluded it was a high-quality Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Chen Fan sat down to absorb the leg bone while Na'er guarded him, and his vitality and Soul Power began to rise.

Chen Fan absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and gained an initial understanding of the Cycle of Life and Death, transforming his strength and filling his courtyard with new growth. After waking from seven days of cultivation, he reunited with the exhausted Na'er and promised to help her recover what she had lost.

• Chen Fan embraced Na'er and promised to help her recover what she had lost.

Chen Fan used his Power of Creation to repair Na’er's origin, awakening the Silver Dragon King’s aura and drawing the attention of Zi Ji and Di Tian. As Gu Yuena’s memories began returning, Na’er destroyed the fragments and chose to remain Na’er.

• Chen Fan channeled his Power of Creation into Na’er to repair her origin.
• Na’er’s Silver Dragon King origin awakened, sending a dragon’s roar and phantom across Heaven Dou City and frightening its Soul Masters.

• Na'er rejected Gu Yuena's memories and identity, choosing to remain Chen Fan's Na'er, and killed the awakened Gu Yuena.

• Dugu Bo tested Chen Fan with his pressure and poison, but Chen Fan transformed them into life force, leaving Dugu Bo horrified by Chen Fan’s balanced powers of life and death.

Chen Fan withstood Dugu Bo’s Poison Array by transforming its deadly poison into life energy, convincing Dugu Bo of his abilities. Dugu Bo agreed to let Chen Fan use the treasures in his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Medicine Garden if he detoxified him and Dugu Yan.

• Dugu Bo unleashed his Sixth Soul Skill, the Jade Phosphor Spirit-Disturbing Array, to test Chen Fan.
• Chen Fan used Heart Fire to transform half the Poison Mist into life energy and absorbed it without harm.
• Dugu Yan rushed into the courtyard, worried that Dugu Bo had hurt Chen Fan, then ran off after Chen Fan silently signaled her to stop Na'er.

• Dugu Bo offered Chen Fan access to all the resources in his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Medicine Garden if he removed the poison in Dugu Bo and the residual toxins in Dugu Yan.

Chen Fan took Dugu Bo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find Immortal Herbs that could help restore Na'er’s origin. He approached the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, intending to prove his sincere feelings for Na'er, but had not yet picked it.

• Chen Fan explained the conditions for picking the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and walked toward it.
• Chen Fan stopped at the flower’s protective barrier and looked toward Na'er as he recalled their time together.

Chen Fan plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red through its light screen and gave it to Na'er, then began detoxifying Dugu Bo with herbs and his Heart Fire. Dugu Bo endured intense pain as Chen Fan converted the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor’s poison into life energy, and his damaged body began to recover.

• Chen Fan passed through the light screen and plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red after Na'er affirmed that she thought only of him.
• Chen Fan tucked the flower behind Na'er's ear, while Dugu Bo watched their affectionate exchange and understood why Dugu Yan felt sour about them.
• Chen Fan prepared an herbal medicinal liquid for Dugu Bo, who drank it before Chen Fan began the treatment.
• Chen Fan used Heart Fire: Revolving to strip the poison from Dugu Bo's body and convert it into life energy.
• Dugu Bo's pain gave way to warmth as his damaged meridians and flesh recovered and his Soul Power began to loosen.

After curing Dugu Bo’s poison, Chen Fan gathered Immortal Herbs from the Medicine Garden, reserving them to help Na’er recover her damaged origin. Dugu Bo pledged his life to Chen Fan, then interrupted the pair’s tender moment as the chapter ended.

• Chen Fan finished detoxifying Dugu Bo, who rose with renewed vitality and pledged his life to Chen Fan.
• Chen Fan selected the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot for his planned body-tempering, then collected other Immortal Herbs from the Medicine Garden.
• Chen Fan gathered the herbs he had considered for others and gave them all to Na’er, explaining that they would repair her origin and restore her health.
• Na’er accepted the herbs after Chen Fan assured her they mattered less than she did.
• Dugu Bo broke up their quiet moment with an earth-shaking cough, visibly displeased.

Chen Fan began using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his body with its source power, while Na'er suppressed memories urging her to become the Silver Dragon King. The process overwhelmed Chen Fan, and Na'er rushed to his side in terror.

• Dugu Bo left Chen Fan and Na'er alone but secretly watched from the Bamboo Forest in case Chen Fan's body-refining attempt went wrong.
• Na'er swallowed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which steadied her chaotic Soul Power and restored her Life Force.
• Na'er crushed memories of the Silver Dragon King and Gu Yuena that surfaced in her mind, insisting she would remain herself.
• Chen Fan absorbed the source power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to refine his body, but its opposing forces tore through his meridians and organs.
• Na'er saw Chen Fan nearing collapse and charged toward him with a scream.

As Chen Fan was overwhelmed by the Ice and Fire powers, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s remnant souls awakened and prepared to destroy him. Na’er entered the barrier unharmed and faced the dragons, whose spirits reacted to an authority within her.

• Na'er repeatedly tried to reach Chen Fan through the ice and fire barrier, injuring herself, while Dugu Bo’s Ninth Soul Skill failed to break through and the barrier’s force wounded him.
• Chen Fan lost control of the two Dragon King powers within him and began to lose consciousness as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well erupted.

• Na'er stood against the dragons, and her presence made them falter as they sensed an authority tied to their bloodline.
• The barrier opened for Na'er, and she entered to comfort Chen Fan before looking directly at the two remnant souls, making their bodies tremble.
