Chapter Summaries

After losing both parents, six-year-old Lin Feng hoped a Martial Soul awakening could give him a future beyond village life. He awakened an unfamiliar Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed, but its abilities and his Soul Power remained unknown.

• Lin Feng was reborn on Douluo Continent, where his mother Li Xiulian died when he was an infant and his father Lin Gensheng raised him until he was six.
• Lin Gensheng died suddenly, leaving Lin Feng alone; village chief Zhao Shouyi offered him a place to live and urged him to attend the annual Martial Soul Awakening Day.
• At the awakening ceremony, the Spirit Hall deacon found that the children before Lin Feng had ordinary Martial Souls and no Soul Power.
• Lin Feng awakened a jade-white Lotus Seed marked with seven faint colors, which the deacon did not recognize and assumed was useless.
• Lin Feng identified his Martial Soul as the Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed after its name surfaced in his mind.

Lin Feng proved that his Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed Martial Soul had Innate Full Soul Power, but Spirit Hall deacon Su Yuntao still dismissed it as useless. After years of poverty at the academy, Lin Feng discovered that his Martial Soul amplified his strength and cultivation speed as it advanced, earning him recognition and support.

• Lin Feng insisted that Su Yuntao test his Soul Power, and the crystal ball blazed with light, revealing his Innate Full Soul Power.
• Su Yuntao gave Lin Feng a Spirit Hall certificate but did not invite him to join, still believing the Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed was useless.
• The villagers celebrated Lin Feng's ability to cultivate, but after he enrolled, he endured years of hunger and isolation as a poor work-study student.
• Lin Feng's Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed gained patterns as he attached Soul Rings and broke through Soul Ring rank limits, doubling his basic strength and cultivation speed with each pattern.
• After Lin Feng reached Soul Grandmaster and gained three illuminated patterns, the academy recognized his talent, exempted him from menial work, and provided support for his daily life.

After years of cultivating alone, Lin Feng reached level 79 as a Soul Saint before his long-dormant system finally returned. Its disciple-taking function could increase his Soul Ring ages according to his disciples’ combined Soul Ring ages, giving him a reason to seek out talented students and enter the main storyline.

• Lin Feng graduated from the junior Soul Master Academy as a twelve-year-old Soul Elder and chose to keep a low profile rather than pursue Xiao Wu.
• By age eighteen, Lin Feng had reached level 79 as a Soul Saint through relentless cultivation and the Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed’s cultivation boost.

Lin Feng brought the injured Zhu Zhuqing to a lover hotel, where she paid for their room and struggled with her mixed feelings about his teasing and closeness.
