Chapter Summaries

Nan Li accepted Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang’s invitation to enroll at Blazing Fire Academy, where she completed the admission process and chose to share a dormitory with Dong Yun. Afterward, she carried Huo Wu into the air to tour the academy, prompting Dong Yun and Huo Wushuang to worry about the two girls.

• Huo Wushuang invited Nan Li to enroll at Blazing Fire Academy, and Nan Li agreed after learning she could leave Shrek Academy.
• Huo Wu rushed Nan Li to the Academic Affairs Office, where Nan Li revealed her Flame Feather Vermilion Bird Martial Soul and four Soul Rings.
• The Academic Affairs Director approved Nan Li’s enrollment after checking her Martial Soul and bone age, and Nan Li chose to room with Dong Yun.
• Nan Li took Huo Wu flying while showing her around the academy, and Dong Yun hurried to check on them as Huo Wushuang watched.
• A cyan figure moved faster than Dong Yun as he went to check on the two girls.

Huo Wu openly favored Dong Yun and Nan Li over Feng Xiaotian, leaving him heartbroken at Blazing Fire Academy. Months later, Nan Li and Dan Hong prepared to attract Ning Fengzhi’s attention at the Auction House by presenting Dan Hong’s firepowder weapon, Collapse Thunder.

• Feng Xiaotian visited Blazing Fire Academy and tried to win Huo Wu’s attention, but she asked Dong Yun to carry her instead.
• Dong Yun carried Huo Wu away, and Huo Wushuang blocked Feng Xiaotian as Huo Wu left with Nan Li and Dong Yun.
• Over three months, Nan Li and Dan Hong visited the Auction House regularly, selling surplus medicines and herbs and seeking useful items.
• Nan Li and Dan Hong spotted Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong at the Auction House and hurried to prepare a bargaining chip.
• Dan Hong entered Collapse Thunder, a firepowder-filled metal sphere powerful enough to kill a Soul Ancestor, for auction.
• Nan Li pretended to want to leave, prompting Dan Hong to say that upcoming items would interest her and drawing Ning Fengzhi’s attention.

Nan Li and Dan Hong used the auction of Collapse Thunder to draw Ning Fengzhi’s attention and secure a meeting with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Nan Li offered the sect twenty Collapse Thunders as a meeting gift before beginning to discuss a deal.

• Dan Hong’s Collapse Thunder was introduced at auction as a weapon capable of fatally injuring a Soul Ancestor, and Ning Fengzhi won three of them.
• Nan Li and Dan Hong tried to leave after the auction, but Ning Fengzhi stopped them and proposed that they talk.
• Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, Nan Li, and Dan Hong went to a private room, where the auctioned items were delivered.
• Nan Li said she and Dan Hong wanted to make a deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Dan Hong placed four boxes containing twenty Collapse Thunders on the table, and Nan Li offered them to the sect as a meeting gift.

Nan Li and Dan Hong negotiated a Collapse Thunder ore supply deal with Ning Fengzhi, then spotted Zhu Zhu Lang with Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke in Heaven Dou City. Nan Li returned to Blazing Fire Academy to discuss the discovery with Dong Yun, where she reunited with Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

• Dan Hong offered Ning Fengzhi a deal to supply ores in exchange for Collapse Thunder, and Ning Fengzhi accepted after hearing the weapon might eventually threaten Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo.
• Nan Li warned Ning Fengzhi to investigate the people around Ning Rongrong before she and Dan Hong left the Heaven Dou Auction House.
• Dan Hong asked whether Ning Fengzhi might uncover Xue Qinghe's connection to Spirit Hall, and Nan Li dismissed the likelihood before recognizing Xue Qinghe, Xue Ke, and Zhu Zhu Lang nearby.
• Nan Li noticed Xue Qinghe's hostile glance toward Zhu Zhu Lang, then left with Dan Hong to discuss the situation with Dong Yun.
• Nan Li returned to Blazing Fire Academy with Dan Hong and greeted Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, while Dan Hong introduced herself as Nan Li's older sister.

Nan Li and Dong Yun investigated Luo Gu’s rare Branch Coral and planned a visit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Nan Li encountered Luo Gu and Dugu Yan, who challenged her to a spar; Nan Li burned away Dugu Yan’s poison with a flame.

• Nan Li found Dong Yun and discussed whether Luo Gu’s Branch Coral came from the Coral Fairy Fish or a Heaven Dou noble.
• Dong Yun told Nan Li that Yang Yang had reached an agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they planned to visit and expose Xie Yue.
• Nan Li, Dong Yun, and Dan Hong visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where they encountered Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, and Luo Gu.
• Dugu Yan challenged Nan Li to a spar, and Dan Hong led Dugu Bo away while Dong Yun watched.
• Dugu Yan used her Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison, but Nan Li burned away the poisonous mist and told her that her poison was not potent enough.

Nan Li defeated Dugu Yan and stopped Yu Tianheng's retaliation, while Luo Gu revealed his connection to Dai Xiyun and called Nan Li his younger sister. After Dugu Bo returned and Dan Hong began the next step of their plan, Ye Lingling emerged and healed Yu Tianheng.

• Nan Li ignored Dugu Yan's poison, knocked her down, and struck her hard enough to make her spit black blood.
• Yu Tianheng attacked Nan Li, but Dong Yun and Luo Gu intercepted him, with Luo Gu declaring that Nan Li should count as his younger sister.
• Luo Gu explained his ties to Dai Xiyun, and Dong Yun and Nan Li read Dai Xiyun's letter identifying Nan Li as a junior sister with a fire-attribute Flying Beast Martial Soul.
• Dugu Bo returned and found Dugu Yan injured, while Dan Hong checked her pulse and told him to prepare for the second step of their plan.
• Dan Hong treated Yu Tianheng, and Ye Lingling emerged from the shadows and healed him with her Nine Heart Begonia.

Nan Li and Dong Yun linked Luo Gu’s soul incantation to the Xumi Raven Clan’s ultimate move and suspected Nan Li’s missing mother, Nan Yin, was behind Dai Xiyun’s secret plans. Nan Li resolved to become strong enough to find her mother, while Luo Gu’s unexplained symbols remained a mystery.

• Ye Lingling apologized for Yu Tianheng’s interruption, then kept to herself as Yu Tianheng went to check on Dugu Yan.
• Nan Li and Dong Yun enclosed Luo Gu in their domains and questioned him about Dai Xiyun; Luo Gu recited the incantation for the Great Sun Xumi Slash but said he knew nothing beyond what Dai Xiyun had told him.
• That night, Dong Yun and Nan Li connected the incantation’s wording to Nan Yin, who had been born during war and natural disasters and could have evaded Sun Island’s investigations.
• Nan Li theorized that Nan Yin had saved Dai Xiyun, helped him build connections, and sent him to act as an intermediary, then resolved to surpass her mother so she could find her.
• Dong Yun asked about the strange symbols on Luo Gu’s coral, and Nan Li said they were not the Immortal Fish Clan’s writing.

Nan Li and Dong Yun investigated mysterious carvings on coral and learned they referred to Lang Xuan, easing their fears that Madam Lan Xi had betrayed Sun Island. Back at Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu invited Nan Li to join the upcoming Four Elements Academy Friendship Gathering, where inter-academy Soul Battles would be held.

• Nan Li and Dong Yun examined the coral carvings, and the Cloud-Swallowing Fire Howl wrote two ancient characters that Jiang E Li read as “Lan Xi.”
• Nan Li and Dong Yun considered whether Madam Lan Xi had dealings with Douluo Continent, and Dong Yun vowed to kill anyone who endangered Sun Island.
• The next morning, Dugu Bo read the copied symbols as “Lang Xuan,” reassuring Nan Li and Dong Yun that the coral did not implicate Madam Lan Xi.
• After returning to Blazing Fire Academy, Nan Li sent Clan Members to check whether anyone named Lang Xuan lived among the Coral Fairy Fish clan.
• Huo Wu told Nan Li about the upcoming Friendship Gathering, and Dong Yun explained its academy exchanges, inter-academy Soul Battles, and friendship evening.

Nan Li, Huo Wu, and Dong Yun discussed the Contest Match, Challenge Match, and Friendship Gala at the Four Elements Academy gathering. Nan Li and Huo Wu teased Dong Yun after he suggested that the gala was a chance to make new friends.

• Huo Wu explained that contestants would enter a dangerous Simulated Environment from random locations and race to find its endpoint, while Nan Li and Dong Yun agreed to participate.
• Huo Wu described how teachers and Protection Devices would protect contestants, and Dong Yun explained the Contest Match’s three-day limit and the Challenge Match’s ranking and scoring rules.
• Dong Yun asked Huo Wu what happened at the Friendship Gala, and she explained that the banquet and ball often led to confessions and new couples.
• Huo Wu encouraged Nan Li to look for male Soul Masters at the gala, but Dong Yun asked whether new friends had to be male.
• Nan Li and Huo Wu objected when Dong Yun innocently defended making new friends at the gala.

Nan Li learned that the next Friendship Gathering would select participants for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, then traveled to Heaven Dou City after Dan Hong warned her that Luo Gu was searching for Sun Island. Dan Hong gave Nan Li a pill made from Dragon Bone Torch Epiphyllum, and Nan Li prepared to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect the next day.

• Huo Wu explained that the next Friendship Gathering would determine who qualified for the Elite Tournament, and Nan Li decided to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before it.
• Dan Hong told Nan Li that Luo Gu had asked Dugu Bo about a place matching clues to Sun Island, and Nan Li approved Dan Hong’s misleading directions while deciding to leave Luo Gu alone for now.
• Dan Hong gave Nan Li a pill refined from Dragon Bone Torch Epiphyllum to repair her soul, but Nan Li explained that Chong Yang had already healed her.
• Nan Li returned the pill to Dan Hong and urged her to keep it for cultivation, then arranged to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect the next day.
• Nan Li and Dong Yun leaped onto the roof after Nan Li’s smile disappeared.

Nan Li and Dong Yun traced the Sun-Under Ten-Thousand-Year Pill clue back to Dan Qing and Lan Xi, while Luo Gu learned from his father’s letter that Lan Xi was his mother and that Soul Beast blood might explain his unusual abilities. Luo Gu resolved to reach Cloud-Misty Ancient Tree, as the chapter revealed that the feared overseas region was Sun Island, concealed by the Coral Fairy Fish clan and guarded from outsiders.

• Nan Li identified Dan Qing as the little princess of the Coral Fairy Fish clan and connected the clue to Lan Xi, then agreed with Dong Yun to return after the Friendship Gathering.
• Luo Gu read his father’s letter describing how he met Lan Xi, their love, her departure after Luo Gu’s birth, and his father’s hope that Luo Gu could find her clan.
• Luo Gu connected his rising Third Soul Ring and unusual soul skill to the possibility that Soul Beast blood ran in his veins, and vowed to reach Cloud-Misty Ancient Tree.
• The chapter recounted how the Star Luo Empire concealed the overseas region as a dangerous isolated island and restricted travel there.
• The narration revealed that the region was Sun Island, whose Coral Fairy Fish residents used an illusory realm and patrolling Soul Beasts to keep outsiders away.

Dong Yang and Nan Xi discussed the threats facing Sun Island, including the weakening Fusang Divine Tree, and decided it was time to summon Nan Li back. Meanwhile, Chen Xin tested Nan Li, Dan Hong, and Dong Yun as he escorted them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Dong Yun’s domain let them catch up to him.

• Dong Yang and Nan Xi surveyed Sun Island and found Lan Xi bound in the Coral Sea while the Coral Fairy Fish hid among the reefs.
• Nan Xi explained that Lan Xi had bound herself after Nan Li sent word, and Dong Yang urged her to summon Nan Li back.
• Nan Xi agreed, warning that the Fusang Divine Tree might not hold on much longer as it suppressed Sun Mountain’s volcano and anchored the drifting island.
• Dan Hong received Ning Fengzhi’s invitation for the group to discuss the follow-up matters concerning “Collapse Thunder,” and Chen Xin came to escort them to the sect.
• Chen Xin flew ahead to test the three, but Dong Yun used his fourth soul skill, Golden Crow Rainbow, to carry the group after him and impress him.

Nan Li and Dan Hong negotiated with Ning Fengzhi over Collapse Thunder ore while Dong Yun warned of threats from within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Nan Li left Dong Yun with Ning Rongrong, but their conversation was interrupted by a girl demanding to know where Xie Yue had been taken.

• Ning Fengzhi welcomed Nan Li, Dan Hong, and Dong Yun to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and discussed a newly discovered mineral vein with Dan Hong.
• Ning Fengzhi thanked Nan Li for warning him about people targeting Rongrong, then questioned how she knew so much about the sect.
• Dong Yun warned that the sect could face internal troubles, and Ning Rongrong arrived and greeted Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
• Nan Li asked to inspect the ores and left Dong Yun behind in the council hall with Ning Rongrong.
• Ning Rongrong led Dong Yun to a garden pavilion, where they talked after Sword Douluo was called away.
• A girl who looked almost identical to Ning Rongrong interrupted them and demanded to know where the Sect Master had taken Xie Yue.

Ning Xinxin used her system to locate the critically injured Xie Yue, but reaching him meant breaking into a dungeon beneath the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her arrival exposed her Seven Kill Sword to Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dan Hong, and Nan Li.

• Ning Rongrong rebuked Ning Xinxin for repeatedly searching for Xie Yue, while Dong Yun listened and learned that Ning Xinxin called Ning Fengzhi her godfather.
• Ning Xinxin asked her system for Xie Yue’s location and spent her scarce Faith Value to reveal a marker beneath a Glazed Pagoda statue.
• Ning Xinxin found no one above ground and used her second Martial Soul, an ancient longsword, to blast through the earth into the dungeon.
• Ning Xinxin found Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, Chen Xin, Dan Hong, and Nan Li gathered around the chained, poisoned Xie Yue.
• Ning Fengzhi demanded to know what Ning Xinxin was doing, while Nan Li recognized the sword as the Seven Kill Sword.

Nan Li and Dan Hong examined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's ore and helped investigate a suspected spy, discovering that the prisoner was Xie Yue. When someone broke into the dungeon to rescue him, Ning Fengzhi recognized the intruder as his goddaughter Ning Xinxin, while Nan Li noticed her Seven Kill Sword aura.

• Dan Hong judged that only thirty to forty percent of the raw ore met the requirements for making Collapse Thunder, and Ning Fengzhi agreed to have miners dig deeper.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Nan Li and Dan Hong to inspect the last surviving suspected spy in the sect's dungeon, and they agreed to accompany him with Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
• Dan Hong recognized the chained prisoner as Xie Yue and fed him a Mother-Child Twin Gu before giving him a pill that caused him pain.
• Chen Xin sensed someone approaching, and Ning Fengzhi stopped Chen Xin and Gu Rong from intervening as they waited for Xie Yue's rescuer.
• Ning Xinxin blasted into the dungeon with sword qi and called Ning Fengzhi her godfather, prompting Nan Li to ask Chen Xin if she was his granddaughter; Chen Xin denied having any connection to her.

Ning Xinxin rescued the poisoned Xie Yue and took him to the Martial Soul Sacred Hall in Heaven Dou City, where Salas sought help. Xue Qinghe learned that Xie Yue had been exposed and ordered Blood Pierce Douluo to retrieve him and Ning Xinxin, then heard that Nan Li and another person were at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Ning Xinxin escaped the dungeon with Xie Yue, then teleported with him to the Martial Soul Sacred Hall after learning his poison would kill him within half an hour.
• Ning Xinxin claimed she had come to pledge allegiance to Spirit Hall, and Salas recognized Xie Yue and summoned a Support System Soul Master.
• Xue Qinghe learned Xie Yue's cover had been exposed and that he was severely poisoned at the Martial Soul Sacred Hall.
• Xue Qinghe ordered Blood Pierce Douluo to save Xie Yue, send him to Spirit City, and bring Ning Xinxin along.
• A subordinate told Xue Qinghe that Nan Li and another person had been discovered at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, alarming him.

Ning Fengzhi’s investigation into Xie Yue pointed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect toward a Titled Douluo entering the Martial Soul Sacred Hall from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Nan Li set a trap for Qian Renxue, who headed to the meeting while Dong Yun secretly slipped away.

• Ning Rongrong told Dong Yun that Ning Xinxin was the sole survivor of a landslide that killed her relatives, and that Ning Fengzhi later adopted her.
• Chen Xin followed Dan Hong’s mother Gu to the Martial Soul Sacred Hall and reported that a Titled Douluo had entered from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, narrowing the possible suspects to the imperial family.
• Nan Li asked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to support her Chongming Domain Skill, which she hoped would draw the culprit out of the palace.
• Qian Renxue sensed Nan Li’s location and set out despite a black-clothed youth warning her that Nan Li intended to expose her to Ning Fengzhi.
• Dong Yun watched Qian Renxue leave, then quietly slipped away, while Nan Li waited in a courtyard and greeted Qian Renxue as Xiao Xue.

Nan Li confronted Qian Renxue in her Sea of Consciousness and rejected her offer to join Spirit Hall. Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan attacked, forcing Nan Li to escape to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect badly wounded, where she admitted her plan had failed.

• Nan Li recognized that Qian Renxue had discovered her identity and used her domain and Soul Bone skill to draw Qian Renxue into her Sea of Consciousness.
• Nan Li revealed that Angel Soul Power in a bracelet had let her sense Qian Renxue, then rejected her offer of help against the Spirit Hall and refused to join it.
• Qian Renxue signaled Ling Yuan to attack, and Ling Yuan unleashed her Eighth Soul Skill while Nan Li's domain contracted and vanished.
• At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gu Rong tried to shield Nan Li with his Bone Prison, but Ling Yuan's arrows struck her as she escaped the domain.
• Ning Rongrong supported the wounded Nan Li, who apologized to Ning Fengzhi and the others and said her plan had failed.

Nan Li exposed evidence that Xue Qinghe was connected to the imperial family, but Ning Fengzhi did not accept her accusation. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dan Hong refined pills that improved Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s Martial Souls, and Dugu Bo’s Martial Soul changed after he took one.

• Nan Li showed Ning Fengzhi imperial-family fabric torn from Qian Renxue’s clothes, but he sent her to rest without acknowledging her accusation against Xue Qinghe.
• Dan Hong treated Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul backlash and began refining pills using the Snowy Swan Kiss.
• Nan Li and Dong Yun guarded Dan Hong as she refined the pills over several days, while Nan Li discussed Ning Fengzhi’s reluctance to act against Xue Qinghe.
• Dan Hong finished the pills and gave one to Dugu Bo and one to Dugu Yan.
• Dugu Bo broke through the next morning, and his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul developed jade-colored horns.

Dugu Bo advanced to level ninety-three after taking medicine refined with Snowy Swan Kiss, while Dugu Yan continued absorbing its effects. In Nan Li’s Sea of Consciousness, Jiang E Li confronted her about their identity, and Xue Qinghe received Ning Fengzhi at the palace while concealing his injuries.

• Dugu Bo celebrated his breakthrough to level ninety-three, and Dan Hong considered how the Snowy Swan Kiss might improve Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul and talent.
• Dong Yun questioned Dan Hong about the medicine’s unusual ingredients, and Dugu Bo joined Dan Hong in watching Dugu Yan absorb its effects.
• Nan Li awakened in her Sea of Consciousness and met Jiang E Li, who told her they were each other; Nan Li denied knowing this.
• Xue Qinghe learned that Elder Ci Xue had taken Xie Yue and Ning Xinxin to Spirit City, and he remarked that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would come under Spirit Hall’s control.
• Ning Fengzhi visited Xue Qinghe, noticed his arms were uninjured, and accepted his tea while weighing the political risks of supporting another prince.
