Chapter Summaries

Lin Qi learned the range and functions of Gong Qiuli’s Compass Martial Soul and sent her to place a Space Anchor at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After she returned, Lin Qi prepared to test her long-distance teleportation, and Xiao Wu eagerly asked to join them.

• Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi speculated that Leng Qing might be connected to the Lin Brothers and concluded that Spirit Hall had more reason to fear the new force than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did.
• Gong Qiuli explained her Compass Martial Soul’s eight support skills, including elemental enhancements, healing, battlefield manipulation, and a spatial skill that could teleport across Douluo Continent between anchors.
• Lin Qi planned locations for Gong Qiuli’s Teleportation Anchors and considered placing one near Tang San so he could keep pressing his prized source of rewards.
• Leng Qing returned after fighting Sword Douluo and compared the experience unfavorably with beating Tang Hao, while Xiao Wu celebrated Tang Hao’s repeated beatings.
• Lin Qi sent Gong Qiuli and Leng Qing to place an anchor at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; Leng Qing raced ahead while Gong Qiuli used her wind skill to fly after him.
• After Gong Qiuli confirmed the anchor was ready, Lin Qi asked to test the teleportation, and Xiao Wu volunteered to go with him.

Lin Qi and his group returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Master Meng planned to test an Immortal Herb on Dugu Bo. After learning Tang San had left Nuoding City, Dugu Bo was offered a chance to pursue godhood through the Snowy Swan Kiss, and Master Meng prepared to begin the experiment.

• Gong Qiuli activated her ninth soul skill and teleported Lin Qi, Xiao Wu, and Tie Hu to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Master Meng told Lin Qi that his Immortal Herb research had made a breakthrough but needed experiments.
• Dugu Bo returned and reported that Tang San had left Nuoding City, and Lin Qi promised him a reward despite the failed search.
• Master Meng told Dugu Bo that the Immortal Herbs were linked to becoming a god and chose him to test the Snowy Swan Kiss.
• Dugu Bo learned that the Snowy Swan Kiss could multiply toxins hundreds or thousands of times, but Master Meng assured him that he and Gong Qiuli and Tie Hu would keep him safe.
• Dugu Bo asked Lin Qi about Gong Qiuli and Tie Hu’s abilities.

Master Meng began fusing the Snowy Swan Kiss with Dugu Bo’s Dan Bead to give him a chance at godhood, but the process caused overwhelming pain and sealed toxins inside his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. Dugu Bo survived the first stage, only to learn the fusion had barely begun and beg for death.

• Dugu Bo agreed to risk the Snowy Swan Kiss fusion, and Master Meng enclosed them both inside Tie Hu’s Wall of Sighs.
• Master Meng cracked Dugu Bo’s Dan Bead, inserted the Snowy Swan Kiss, and pressed the expanding bead against the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor’s forehead.
• Dugu Bo writhed in agony as Master Meng guided the multiplying toxins into patterns that sealed them inside the serpent, while Gong Qiuli used her Healing Array.
• After more than half a day, Dugu Bo regained consciousness and mistakenly hoped the fusion was complete before Master Meng told him it was only beginning.
• Dugu Bo woke again, said he only begged for death, and shed a toxic tear that sizzled when it hit the ground.

Lin Qi then pointed the sect toward Xue Qinghe for help, while Feng Bailong headed for the palace and was intercepted by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s Three Education Committee Members.

• A Wind Sword Sect disciple rudely demanded to see the Lin Brothers, and Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo revealed that Qian Renxue was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Light Feather Douluo was then ambushed by Leng Qing outside the city, while Qian Renxue and the other Spirit Hall elders heard the battle but were warned not to intervene.

• Meng Shenji refused Feng Bailong’s request to see Xue Ye, and a hidden Titled Douluo’s pressure forced Feng Bailong to abandon his visit and return to the Wind Sword Sect.
