Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena confronted Mo Yan of the Dawn Society, who tried to use Star Luo’s alleged cooperation with Evil Soul Masters to win their support. Huo Yuhao stayed focused on learning about Dragon Valley, and Mo Yan agreed to tell him what he knew.

• A middle-aged seller revealed that the Incomplete Dragon Bones had come to him as a gift and offered to introduce Huo Yuhao to their original owners, but suggested a better alternative.
• Mo Yan knocked Le Xiaoling unconscious, then identified himself as a Titled Douluo from the Dawn Society and apologized to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

• Mo Yan admitted he was not good with words and agreed to explain what he knew about Dragon Valley.

Huo Yuhao learned more about Dragon Valley and the Tang Sect’s weakened position in Star Luo, then resolved to push ahead with a war against the Holy Spirit Cult’s Human Pills and the forces enabling them. Three days later, he joined the Douluo Envoy Group’s formal reception by Emperor Xu Chengzhi and Speaker Dai Tianling.

• Mo Yan shared information about Dragon Valley with Huo Yuhao and left him his contact information before departing.

Enci, Star Luo’s only Limit Douluo, arrived to help plan the operation against the Holy Spirit Cult, but Huo Yuhao’s intelligence convinced the others that Enci’s survival under the Cult’s control meant Star Luo was already deeply compromised. Enci identified the Dawn Society as the Holy Spirit Cult’s disguise, leaving the two sides’ accusations against each other unresolved.

• Enci arrived, and Dai Tianling and the visiting Douluos greeted the renowned Divine Domain Douluo with respect.
• Huo Yuhao reminded the group that light-attributed Soul Masters had served the Holy Spirit Cult before, and explained how Enci could have been controlled since childhood.
• Huo Yuhao cited the official auction of Human Pills to show that the Holy Spirit Cult’s influence in Star Luo ran deep, leading the Sentimental Douluo and Soul Suppressing Douluo to conclude that the Cult had allowed Enci to grow because he posed no threat.
• Enci explained his plan and told the Soul Suppressing Douluo that the Dawn Society was an organization of the Holy Spirit Cult in disguise.
• Huo Yuhao privately noted the contradiction between the Dawn Society’s claim that Star Luo colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo’s claim that the Dawn Society belonged to the Cult.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena fought the Holy Spirit Cult at its Dragon Valley outpost, where the Evil Eye Tyrant mistook Huo Yuhao for the Spirit Ice Douluo and turned against its Evil Soul Master ally. After Huo Yuhao extracted information and killed the Evil Soul Master, the Evil Emperor ordered the Tyrant to remain with the Holy Spirit Cult, leaving it injured and regretful.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena found and hatched Jia Lin, the surviving heir of the Fire Dragon King's Lineage, in Dragon Valley. Jia Lin recognized them as her protectors and settled close to Huo Yuhao, while Gu Yuena watched with a pang of jealousy.

• After ten days searching Dragon Valley for the Heavenly Burning Divine Cudgel, Huo Yuhao's Mecha detected a faint life signal nearby.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena followed the signal to a dragon egg hidden among Dragon Bones, where Jia Lin sensed their approach from inside.
• Huo Yuhao infused the egg with Life Energy, and Gu Yuena added the power of Creation, enabling Jia Lin to hatch as a little girl.

• Jia Lin ate Huo Yuhao's pastries and leaned against him, prompting Gu Yuena to feel possessive and Huo Yuhao to say she resembled Na'er as a child.

Huo Yuhao reflected on the Dragon God's history and found its accounts of his wife, son, and the destruction of the Divine Dragon Realm difficult to believe. The story ended with the Light Dragon King killing the Water Dragon King as part of his plan to let the other God Kings defeat the Dragon God.

• Huo Yuhao questioned why the Dragon God had not strengthened his wife's bloodline or given her an heir sooner, despite his power and resources.
• The Dragon God's wife forcibly conceived the Dragon Prince, then died after giving birth because the Dragon God Bloodline drained her life force.

Huo Yuhao rejected Xu Chengzhi’s appeal for the Douluo Federation and Spirit Pagoda to intervene in Star Luo’s crisis, while Xu shifted to questioning Shrek Academy’s trustworthiness. Xu then learned that Secretary-General Pan had discovered the Tang Sect’s problem and planned to exploit the rift between the Federation and Shrek Academy.

• Xu Chengzhi probed Huo Yuhao about the Dragon Valley trip, and Huo Yuhao avoided revealing what he knew about the hidden Extreme Ice Soul Master.
• Huo Yuhao challenged Xu Chengzhi’s claims about Star Luo’s infiltration and refused to trust his account or help draw the Spirit Pagoda into the conflict.

• Xu Chengzhi asked whether Huo Yuhao trusted the Sentimental Douluo and Shrek Academy, and Huo Yuhao realized Xu wanted to pull Shrek into the conflict.
• After Huo Yuhao left, Mo Yan told Xu Chengzhi that Secretary-General Pan had discovered the Tang Sect’s problem, and Xu planned to use the discovery to worsen the rift between the Federation and Shrek Academy.

Back at the Star Luo residence, Leng Yulai was astonished by Jia Lin’s extraordinary abilities and offered to care for her before the coming battle.

• Ice Empress worried that a Federation attack on Shrek could provoke retaliation and create greater turmoil, and Huo Yuhao explained why the trial had to be just rather than a massacre.
• Huo Yuhao told Ice Empress that Xu Chengzhi’s plan required the Federation to deal with Shrek before Star Luo and the Holy Spirit Cult, while they still had grounds to accuse Shrek of treason.
• Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress discussed the matter and sent word to the Spirit Pagoda to prepare for the coming shock.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the Star Luo residence, where Leng Yulai questioned him about Jia Lin and her Innate Level 20 Soul Power.
• Leng Yulai offered to look after Jia Lin while Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena went into battle, believing the child could help usher in a glorious era for the Spirit Pagoda.
