Chapter Summaries

Tang Hao brought the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to Ye Xilan and agreed to stay at Begonia Pavilion while she studied it. Meanwhile, two red-robed men arrived outside Shrek Academy to capture Tang San and a pink-clad girl on the Holy Son’s orders, hoping to draw Tang Hao out.

• Tang Hao showed Ye Xilan the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and explained its potential to help someone Become a God.

Xue Beng’s plan to protect Tang San and gain the Clear Sky Douluo’s favor failed when the two Spirit Hall Soul Fighting Masters escaped after Number One was affected by another Transmigrator’s ability. At Begonia Pavilion, Tang Hao learned that Ye Xilan had obtained the Sunflower Manual from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—and that she had already practiced it.

• Xue Beng’s Number One subdued two Spirit Hall Soul Fighting Masters near Shrek Academy, but a strange affection for them let them escape.

• Tang Hao read that the Sunflower Manual required castration and hid it in his Storage Soul Tool.
• Ye Xilan told Tang Hao that she had already cultivated the Sunflower Manual.

Tang Hao learned that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had possessed the Sunflower Manual for six years and suspected a Transmigrator there had introduced it. After studying the manual and discovering it could help heal his injuries, he found Ye Xilan had advanced to level eighty-nine and was close to becoming a Titled Douluo.

• Tang Hao sent Ye Xilan away, then wondered whether Sword Douluo or another high-ranking member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had introduced the Sunflower Manual.

• Tang Hao congratulated Ye Xilan and predicted that her cultivation speed would let her become a Titled Douluo within a year.

Tang Hao used Ye Xilan’s refined Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Medicinal Liquid to heal his injuries and hidden ailments, with the treatment appearing to raise his Soul Power.

• A feminine-looking Spirit Hall Titled Douluo mocked Tang Hao’s repeated visits and questioned the terrified Vice Pavilion Master.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo led Spirit Hall’s attack on Begonia Pavilion to kill Tang Hao while he recovered in the alchemy room.

• The people of Begonia Pavilion relaxed after Spirit Hall withdrew, and a badly wounded figure with intestines hanging from his abdomen approached Ye Xilan and asked her to heal him.

After Spirit Hall’s attack devastated Begonia Pavilion, Ye Xilan treated Tang Hao, who then rushed after the retreating attackers. A Fat Regiment Commander and Iron Rod tried to race back to report the battle and claim merit, but froze when they reached the city gates.

• Tang Hao gave up on improving his combat awareness quickly and resolved to strengthen his body, Martial Soul, and Soul Power enough to overwhelm opponents.

Tang Hao resolved to strengthen himself beyond combat instincts by combining the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique with another Martial Art, while rejecting the Sunflower Manual. After recovering loot from the Black Clothed Soul Saints and Spirit Kite Douluo, he found a huge cache of Starfall Iron and decided to investigate Spirit Hall.

• Tang Hao reflected that the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique had helped him endure his severe wound and decided to become a well-rounded fighter by adding a Martial Art to his training.
• Tang Hao considered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Transmigrator's possible techniques but ruled out Ye Xilan's Sunflower Manual because of its castration requirement.
• Tang Hao searched the Black Clothed Soul Saints' Storage Soul Tools and found a million Gold Soul Coins, a small piece of Starfall Iron, and a blood-soaked thousand-year Skull Bone.
• Tang Hao opened Spirit Kite Douluo's Storage Soul Tool and found three million Gold Soul Coins and a piece of Starfall Iron weighing more than a ton.
• Tang Hao wondered how Spirit Hall had obtained so much Starfall Iron and decided to gather information about it after visiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After recovering with the Life Gold, Tang Hao discovered that his Clear Sky Hammer had evolved and that he had reached level ninety-six. He left his room intending to find Ye Xilan and discuss how he would eat.

• Tang Hao stored Spirit Kite Douluo’s Starfall Iron and other possessions in her much larger Storage Soul Tool.
• The next morning, Tang Hao found that the Life Gold had revived the effects of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and evolved his Clear Sky Hammer, awakening the Clear Sky Domain.
• Tang Hao tested the domain and found that it could suppress weaker Martial Souls or make his Clear Sky Hammer immensely heavy, cracking the bed beneath him.
• Tang Hao released his Divine Slaughter's Domain and reflected on reaching level ninety-six, then resolved to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a Martial Art.
• Tang Hao left his room and went to find Ye Xilan, planning to discuss his meals.

After learning that Qing Guan Quan had betrayed him and fled with his family, Tang Hao ordered Qing Guan Quan executed and offered a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone bounty to anyone who exterminated his clan.

• Ye Xilan taught Tang Hao the Heavenly Human Qi Transformation Method, which she had adapted to aid digestion.

• Tang Hao offered a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as the bounty, and Ye Xilan agreed to spread the order.

Tang Hao learned that the Fourth Prince had placed an infantry regiment under his command and discovered that telegraph machines had spread across Douluo Continent. He was left wondering how many transmigrators were behind the continent’s rapid technological changes.

Tang Hao planned to leave Begonia Pavilion in five days and visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Xue Beng learned of Tang Hao’s bounty and heard Qin Ming’s report on Shrek Academy. The chapter ended with Qin Ming revealing that Shrek had recruited more than a dozen gifted students who resented Spirit Hall and might support Xue Beng.

• Tang Hao decided to leave Begonia Pavilion in five days to avoid further battles endangering its civilians and planned to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with a gift in exchange for their Martial Art.

• Xue Beng received news of Tang Hao’s bounty to exterminate an informant’s clan and concluded that Tang Hao’s actions did not make him seem like a Transmigrator.
• Qin Ming returned from Shrek Academy and told Xue Beng that Flender was grateful for his warning about Spirit Hall’s secret attack but had refused to teach at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Qin Ming reported that Shrek had recruited more than a dozen geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power, all deeply dissatisfied with Spirit Hall, who could become Xue Beng’s supporters.

Ye Xilan disbanded Begonia Pavilion to follow him, and Tang Hao promised to help her obtain her Ninth Soul Ring.

• At Begonia City's gate, the Fat Regiment Commander and Iron Rod regretted Tang Hao's departure and discussed Qing Yuhuan's accusations against him.
• Tang Hao read the Fat Regiment Commander's report, crushed the letter, and considered what Qing Yuhuan's Golden Finger might yield if he killed him.

• Ye Xilan resumed reading Battle Through the Heavens while Tang Hao prepared to spread the bounty notice.

• Prince Ilir welcomed Tang Hao to Ili City with a grand procession and invited him to a palace banquet, while assuring him the newspapers were being printed.
• Tang Hao asked Ye Xilan how far she had read in Battle Through the Heavens, then took her forbidden copies after learning she had reached a major climax.

• Tang Hao spent the day cultivating with a Spirit Bone and reviewing combat experience, then ate dinner alone without any royal guests approaching him.
• Ye Xilan brought Tang Hao a sealed letter reporting that Qing Yuhuan had appeared in Spirit City, where Bibi Dong had personally received him and might take him as a disciple.

• Tang Hao summoned Prince Ilir and raised the bounty to five million Gold Soul Coins for Qing Yuhuan's right palm, or one million for a finger.
• Prince Ilir heard Tang Hao's offer and considered discussing it with his returned clansmen, brothers, friends, and relatives before deciding what to do.
