Chapter Summaries

Ye Zhilan showed Yu Yuanchen the Beast Taming Research Institute’s successful Plant Spirit Beast contracts and explained why Animal Spirit Beasts often died when contracts rapidly raised their cultivation. Yu Yuanchen’s stories about purified angels sparked Ye Zhilan’s insight that the problem lay in Animal Spirit Beasts’ bodies failing to grow alongside their Soul Power, and she began planning new experiments.

• Ye Zhilan took Yu Yuanchen to the research institute and showed him young Soul Masters harmonizing with contracted Plant Spirit Beasts.
• Ye Zhilan explained that Plant Spirit Beast contracts could raise cultivation without killing the beasts, but rapid advancement caused most Animal Spirit Beasts’ bodies to fail.
• Yu Yuanchen comforted Ye Zhilan and told her about purified angels who lacked Martial Souls and resembled humanoid Soul Beasts.
• Ye Zhilan realized that Animal Spirit Beasts’ bodies normally grew with cultivation, so their forms could not withstand sudden increases in Soul Power.
• Ye Zhilan proposed studying growth hormones, cell division, and a Form Stabilization Field, while Yu Yuanchen promised to support her research.

Ye Zhilan proposed a Dual Form Contract that would let Soul Beasts cultivate in a controlled Normal Form and switch to a stronger Combat Form, and Gu Yuena agreed to pursue the idea. As Ye Zhilan and Gu Yuena began redesigning the contract, Gu Yuena also recognized Yu Yuanchen as a powerful potential ally and reached an understanding with him about cooperation.

• Ye Zhilan explained that a Dual Form Contract could slow Soul Beast body growth during cultivation and temporarily awaken a larger Combat Form for battle.

• Yu Yuanchen oversaw construction and enrollment preparations while refining advanced methods and training instructors, as foundational Martial Way spread across the continent.

Yu Yuanchen watched the Martial Way spread across Douluo Continent and sensed the gratitude and recognition gathering around it as faith and fortune under the title Martial Ancestor. As Tianxing Martial Arts Academy neared completion, he hid opportunities in its trial grounds and left the future of the Martial Way to its practitioners.

• Yu Yuanchen secretly checked the fair distribution of the Basic Blood Essence Tempering Method and the construction of Tianxing Martial Arts Academy, then sensed countless points of faith and fortune converging on Dragon City and forming the honorific Martial Ancestor.
• Yu Yuanchen reflected that the Martial Way could give ordinary people and those poorly suited to Soul Master cultivation another path to strengthen themselves and improve their potential.
• Yu Yuanchen planted hidden inscriptions, techniques, and cultivation insights throughout the academy’s trial grounds for future students to discover.

• Yu Yuanchen began researching Demon Breaking Seal, hoping to use his dragon bloodline and transformed Soul Power to resist or cancel rule-based abilities.

Yu Yuanchen traced his bloodline’s ancient dragon memories, perfecting Demon Breaking Seal and upgrading the True Dragon Undying Body. He put his research aside when Ye Zhilan gave birth to twins, Yu Yunting and Yu Yunyao, leaving the family celebrating their safe arrival.

• Yu Yuanchen used Return to Origin to explore fragments of ancient dragons’ memories and learned new methods of combat, energy use, and resistance to laws.

• Ye Zhilan and Gu Yuena selected an eight-hundred-year-old Star-Eating Vine for Yu Yunyao and an eight-hundred-year-old Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon for Yu Yunting.
• Yu Yunyao used her Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia's Life Aura to earn the Star-Eating Vine's trust and complete their contract, raising her Soul Power to level thirteen.

Yu Yuanchen’s efforts to make Tianxing Academy financially independent led the academy to accept Heaven Dou Empire funding while enforcing equal standards for noble students. At semester’s end, Yu Yunting and Yu Yunyao led the smaller coalition to victory in the class showdown, then reunited with Yu Yuanchen and Ye Zhilan for vacation.
