Chapter Summaries

Yu Xiaogang advanced his self-made path toward godhood in Spirit Hall, where Bibi Dong and the elders witnessed his breakthrough. A Heavenly Screen then announced a comparison between parallel Douluo worlds and selected two versions of Yu Xiaogang as its first subjects.

• Yu Xiaogang absorbed the surrounding light and strengthened his power, declaring that he would surpass the gods without a Godhead Inheritance.

• Yu Xiaogang reflected on the original story he knew and wondered whether the comparison would involve him.
• The Heavenly Screen selected Dark World Master Yu Xiaogang and White World Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang as the first subjects.

The Dark World learned that Yu Xiaogang would be compared with a version of himself who became Dragon God Douluo, shattering the confidence he had just expressed in his own choices. Yu Xiaogang rejected the comparison at first, then accepted Tang San’s theory that his other self’s parents had changed his talent.

• Bibi Dong wondered whether a parallel version of herself had never joined Spirit Hall or had left it with Xiao Gang.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo whether a parallel version of him had evolved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Yu Xiaogang declared that his choices had been flawless and that any parallel version of himself would be worse.
• The Heavenly Screen named the comparison subjects as Dark World Master Yu Xiaogang and White World Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang, prompting the Shrek group to stare at their Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Xiaogang called the comparison a lie, but Tang San suggested that the other Yu Xiaogang’s parents had changed his talent, and Yu Xiaogang accepted the explanation.

The Heavenly Screen showed Yu Xiaogang's privileged early life in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and his early interest in Martial Soul and Spirit Ring research. As he approached his sixth birthday and Martial Soul Awakening, Yu Yuanzhen and others wondered what choice had made another version of him a Titled Douluo.

• Yu Xiaogang was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and was treated as its center because he was Yu Yuanzhen's son.
• Yu Xiaogang grew arrogant, looked down on clan members with less than level seven Innate Soul Power, and drew outrage from viewers across Douluo Continent.
• Yu Xiaogang began studying Soul Master knowledge and questioned the clan's established Spirit Ring configuration.
• Yu Yuanzhen reassured Yu Xiaogang that he would guide his Spirit Ring choices, while Tang San used the footage to stress the importance of listening to one's teacher.
• Bibi Dong and Yu Yuanzhen reflected on Yu Xiaogang's early studies, and the footage ended as he neared age six and Martial Soul Awakening.

The Heavenly Screen replayed Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul Awakening ceremony, where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and its guests expected the son of Yu Yuanzhen to awaken a powerful dragon Martial Soul. The ceremony ended in stunned silence when Yu Xiaogang manifested a small creature resembling a Piglet.

• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders and Yu Yuanzhen watched the Heavenly Screen replay the ceremony that had damaged their reputation.

• Yu Xiaogang took the stage last as the crowd and his father anticipated a powerful Martial Soul.
• The golden light around Yu Xiaogang shattered, revealing a small Piglet-like creature that hid behind him.

Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul awakened as a piglet-like beast, and his Innate Soul Power measured only half a rank, making him a target of ridicule. As the Heavenly Screen replayed the humiliation, Yu Xiaogang relived his pain and blamed his father for his lack of talent.

• Yu Xiaogang watched the replay at Shrek Academy, roared in pain, and grew more resentful toward Yu Yuanzhen.
• The replay showed children mocking Yu Xiaogang, who shut his eyes and pretended to faint to avoid their stares.

Yu Xiaogang’s fake faint at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s awakening ceremony brought ridicule upon him and the clan. Yu Yuanzhen chose to support his son’s cultivation with his own resources, but Yu Xiaogang rejected him hysterically.

• Ning Rongrong and the others watching the Heavenly Screen criticized Yu Xiaogang for faking a faint in front of powerful guests.
• At the ceremony, a Spirit Hall Title Douluo mocked Yu Yuanzhen, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s sect master tried to defuse the confrontation.

• Yu Yuanzhen argued with the clan elders that Yu Xiaogang’s unusual Martial Soul deserved cultivation, but the elders refused to spend clan resources on him.
• Yu Yuanzhen offered to use his own cultivation resources for Yu Xiaogang and told him of his plan, but Yu Xiaogang screamed at him to leave.

The footage showed Yu Xiaogang rejecting his father’s support, then spending years relying on Yu Yuanzhen’s resources to cultivate. At fifteen, he reached Level Ten and prepared to obtain his first Spirit Ring, as the playback paused before revealing his choice.

• Yu Yuanzhen tried to comfort Yu Xiaogang after his Martial Soul awakening, but Yu Xiaogang shouted at him to leave.

• By the year Yu Xiaogang turned fifteen, he had reached Level Ten and was ready to obtain his first Spirit Ring.
• The footage stopped before Yu Xiaogang chose his first Spirit Ring, and the playback announced that Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang would be shown next.

The White World reacted with anger and disbelief to the Heavenly Screen’s portrayal of a cowardly Yu Xiaogang, while Yu Yuanzhen refused to accept that the Parallel World boy was his son. A new video began revealing that Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang had been considered mentally impaired as a baby, and he explained that his transmigration had caused his early confusion but strengthened his mental power.

• Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Qian Daoliu condemned the Heavenly Screen’s Yu Xiaogang, while Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang treated it as another world’s story.
• Yu Yuanzhen rejected the Parallel World Yu Xiaogang and ordered his elders to call him Yu Xiaoxiao instead.
• The Heavenly Screen began a video showing Yu Yuanzhen naming his newborn son Yu Xiaogang in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

• Dark World Yu Xiaogang accused the Heavenly Screen of being a plot to humiliate him, while White World Yu Xiaogang comforted Bibi Dong and explained that his transmigration had left him confused but gave him exceptional mental power.

Yu Yuanzhen refused to abandon Yu Xiaogang and devoted himself to caring for him, while Yu Xiaogang secretly understood everything around him. As Yu Xiaogang turned five, he finally spoke to his father, leaving Yu Yuanzhen stunned.

• The Ye Clan head diagnosed Yu Xiaogang with extraordinary mental strength that his immature brain could not bear, and warned Yu Yuanzhen that recovery was unlikely.
• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders urged Yu Yuanzhen to send Yu Xiaogang away, but Yu Yuanzhen refused and insisted on raising his son himself.
• Yu Yuanzhen spent years accompanying Yu Xiaogang, teaching him and telling him about the world, while Yu Xiaogang silently understood and treasured his father's love.
• When Yu Xiaogang was nearly six, Yu Yuanzhen told him about the Clear Sky Sect's two geniuses, and Yu Xiaogang suddenly called him “Father.”

Yu Xiaogang regained control of his body and reunited with his father, Yu Yuanzhen, while watching Tang San grow jealous of their bond. Before his Martial Soul Awakening, Yu Xiaogang asked to begin cultivating so he could prove himself and stop others from mocking his father.

• Yu Xiaogang took Yu Yuanzhen's hand, confirmed that he had recovered his mind, and struggled when his delighted father lifted him into the air.
• Watching the Heavenly Screen, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang dismissed the other Yu Xiaogang's prospects, while Tang San felt jealous and recalled his lonely childhood with Tang Hao.
• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan discussed Yu Xiaogang's recovery and doubted he would awaken a good Martial Soul.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Yu Yuanzhen whether he could cultivate before his Martial Soul Awakening, explaining that he could not bear for people to mock his father because of him.

Five-year-old Yu Xiaogang began training before his Martial Soul Awakening to avoid becoming a burden on Yu Yuanzhen, and he endured his first grueling run. Watching the Heavenly Screen, another Yu Yuanzhen felt pride in the boy’s determination and envy of his counterpart’s son.

• Yu Xiaogang insisted that he wanted to cultivate, and Yu Yuanzhen agreed after warning him that training would be painful.
• Yu Xiaogang began running at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's private Cultivation Ground and persisted despite exhaustion and pain.
• Yu Yuanzhen ended the training when Yu Xiaogang reached his limit, then praised his determination and felt proud of him.
• The other Yu Yuanzhen watched the scene and envied the bond between his counterpart and Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang endured physical training, medicinal baths, meditation, and study for six months before his Martial Soul Awakening. He awakened a piglet-like beast Martial Soul with only level-one Innate Soul Power, leaving Yu Yuanzhen concerned.

• Yu Yuanzhen placed the exhausted Yu Xiaogang in a painful medicinal bath, and Yu Xiaogang insisted he could endure the training.
• Yu Yuanzhen guided Yu Xiaogang through meditation, and Yu Xiaogang studied clan records about Spirit Rings and physique.
• Yu Xiaogang followed a daily routine of training and study for six months while clan members doubted his prospects.
• Yu Xiaogang entered the Awakening Array, where a piglet-like beast appeared as his Martial Soul.
• Yu Xiaogang's Innate Soul Power tested at level one, and Yu Yuanzhen watched with concern.

After Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang’s test revealed that early cultivation could raise Innate Soul Power, the major powers reacted to the discovery. Tang San realized his own daily cultivation might have given him Innate Full Soul Power, while both of his Martial Souls could be useless.

• Bibi Dong recognized the revolutionary implications of raising Innate Soul Power through early cultivation but dismissed the value of training Spirit Hall’s subordinates.
• Ning Fengzhi ordered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to arrange cultivation, gather medicinal herbs, and collect meditation methods for children awaiting Martial Soul Awakening.
• Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin regretted that Ning Rongrong had already awakened her Martial Soul, while Ning Fengzhi hoped to learn how to evolve the sect’s Martial Soul.
• Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang regretted not cultivating before his own Martial Soul Awakening, then blamed his father, Yu Yuanzhen, for his wasted potential.
• Tang San concluded that his Mysterious Heaven Skill cultivation might have raised his Innate Soul Power and decided that both his Blue Silver Grass and Hammer Martial Souls were probably useless.

Bibi Dong defended Yu Xiaogang when Golden Crocodile Douluo questioned him about his low Innate Soul Power. As the Heavenly Screen showed Yu Xiaogang’s past, he comforted his father over the ridicule they might face and learned that level thirty could be his greatest hurdle.

• Bibi Dong rebuked Golden Crocodile Douluo for speaking harshly to Yu Xiaogang, and Qian Daoliu stopped their argument.
• Bibi Dong offered to stop watching if the video upset Yu Xiaogang, but he said he was at peace with his past.
• Yu Xiaogang summoned his independent Martial Soul, named it Little Dragon, and reasoned that it was a powerful dragon-type Martial Soul limited by his low talent.
• Yu Yuanzhen reassured Yu Xiaogang that his status as a Titled Douluo would protect them from mockery, but Yu Xiaogang worried about the rumors they might face.
• Yu Yuanzhen told Yu Xiaogang that if his first two Soul Rings were unsuitable, reaching level thirty might be his greatest hurdle.

Yu Xiaogang searched records for ways to overcome his poor talent and concluded that evolving his Martial Soul could change his fate. By classifying documented evolutions, he identified extreme attribute stacking as a possible method, while Ning Fengzhi wondered whether it could help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Yu Xiaogang found records of low-talent people whose Martial Souls evolved after obtaining Spirit Bones or heavenly treasures, and concluded that Martial Soul evolution could change his fate.
• Ning Fengzhi admired Yu Xiaogang’s deduction but lamented that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never found a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Yu Xiaogang gathered and categorized recorded cases of Martial Soul Evolution, choosing to focus on evolutions triggered by absorbing Spirit Rings.
• Yu Xiaogang compared the Soul Beasts, attributes, and Spirit Ring sequences in the cases, finding repeated patterns of matching attributes or Soul Beast types.
• Yu Xiaogang concluded that extreme attribute stacking offered a path to Martial Soul Evolution.

Yu Xiaogang’s statistical method revealed that Extreme Attribute Stacking could lead to Martial Soul Evolution, impressing major powers and giving Dugu Bo ideas for Dugu Yan’s cultivation. His data also exposed the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans as an exception, so Yu Xiaogang consulted Yu Yuanzhen to investigate why their focus on strength, speed, and defense had not evolved their Martial Souls.

• Ning Fengzhi and other leaders recognized how Yu Xiaogang’s Statistical Method could help uncover secrets, while Dugu Bo realized his own Martial Soul had evolved through stacking Poison Attribute.
• Dugu Bo considered having Dugu Yan abandon poison and pursue snake-type Spirit Rings, while members of the Five Elements Academy celebrated the evidence supporting their extreme cultivation paths.
• Niu Gao, Tai Tan, and Bai He doubted Yu Xiaogang’s data because their clans’ Martial Souls had never evolved, while Yang Wudi silently studied the Heavenly Screen.
• Yu Xiaogang found many examples of evolution in the Five Elements Academy’s records but none among the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans, prompting him to ask Yu Yuanzhen why fundamental attributes failed to produce the same results.

Yu Xiaogang concluded that Martial Soul evolution required changes to a Martial Soul’s essence through stacking elemental or bloodline attributes, while basic attributes only increased its numerical strength. He chose a dragon-blood path for Little Dragon and resolved to seek Spirit Rings beyond the usual age limits despite the danger.

• Yu Xiaogang explained to Yu Yuanzhen that elemental and bloodline attributes could change a Martial Soul’s essence, while strength and speed only raised its numbers.
• Yang Wudi recognized that the Soul Breaking Spear might evolve through elemental attributes, while Bai He and Tai Tan rejected Yu Xiaogang’s theory.
• Yu Xiaogang decided to add Spirit Rings from increasingly pure dragon-type Soul Beasts to Little Dragon in hopes of revealing its original form.
• Yu Xiaogang concluded that his Innate Level One Soul Power required him to pursue Spirit Rings older than his body could safely withstand.
• Yu Xiaogang recalled the ridicule directed at him and Yu Yuanzhen and resolved to risk severe injury or death to change his fate.

In the Heavenly Screen’s story, Yu Xiaogang decided to strengthen his body with medicine so he could obtain a higher-age first Spirit Ring, while Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang insisted the limit was 423 years. Yu Xiaogang sought help at Blue Lightning City’s Thunder Dragon Hall, where a conversation about a shipment made him realize its contents might offer another way to build his physique.

• Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang declared that the first Spirit Ring’s limit was 423 years and ordered the Shrek Seven Devils to train, but Ning Rongrong defied him and stayed to watch the Heavenly Screen.
• Yu Xiaogang concluded that he needed medicine to strengthen his body and left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for Blue Lightning City.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Ye Hengchuan at Thunder Dragon Hall for medicinal ingredients, and Ye promised to help him prepare for a roughly four-hundred-year Spirit Ring.
• Several young men arrived to ask Ye Hengchuan about their shipment, and their talk of fighting all night made Yu Xiaogang freeze with his teacup in hand.

Yu Xiaogang wondered whether enchanted medicines could strengthen the body if their effects were absorbed rather than used up immediately. He and Ye Hengchuan tested the idea on pigs, whose nighttime cries left the nearby residents mystified.

• Yu Xiaogang told Ye Hengchuan he wondered whether the medicines could strengthen the body if their effects were absorbed.
• Ye Hengchuan agreed to test Yu Xiaogang’s theory using livestock from the clan.
• Ye Hengchuan gathered enchanted medicines, and he and Yu Xiaogang brought hundreds of pigs to the livestock facility.
• Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan bound dozens of pigs and fed them the medicines before leaving.
• The medicines took effect while the pigs were restrained, and their overlapping roars puzzled nearby residents.

Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan checked the pigs after feeding them medicinal ingredients and discovered that Whale Rubber had strengthened their bodies. They left the experiment eager to learn how much more powerful higher-aged Whale Rubber could be.

• Ye Hengchuan used his authority to make the Soul Masters inspect the pigs after they had spent three days in the pigsty.
• The Soul Masters found several pigs had snapped their sturdy ropes, and Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan examined them.
• Ye Hengchuan learned that the pigs who had broken free had eaten Whale Rubber aged between twenty and fifty years.
• Ye Hengchuan explained that Whale Rubber came from whale-type Soul Beasts and was sold in varieties of different ages.
• Yu Xiaogang wondered how much stronger his body could become if he used hundred-year, thousand-year, or Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.
