Chapter Summaries

Yu Xiaogang trained Lin Fei to serve as the Second Team’s main fighter in the upcoming Soul Master Tournament, while continuing to develop his new applications of Mental Power. After revealing his discoveries to Lin Lang, he prepared to demonstrate the techniques and help the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan explore a new path to power.

• Yu Xiaogang asked Lin Lang to spar with him so Lin Lang could assess his new techniques.

• Yu Xiaogang warned that illusions could be exposed if they contained flaws, especially when portraying someone familiar to the opponent.

• Yu Xiaogang envisioned creating clones equipped with whatever defensive, healing, or support abilities he needed as he collected more structures.

Lin Lang and the Shrek Academy audience considered how Yu Xiaogang’s First Spirit Skill let him construct and use different Spirit Skills, while Ma Hongjun and Flender wondered if they could imitate him. Ning Rongrong warned that copying the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon’s Spirit Ring was risky and explained why surpassing a Spirit Ring’s usual age limit could yield a stronger Spirit Skill, leaving the Shrek Seven Devils to consider what it would take to obtain Soul Power Release.

• Lin Lang realized that Yu Xiaogang’s First Spirit Skill could create Soul Tools capable of releasing different Spirit Skills, making Yu Xiaogang’s approach seem both logical and absurdly versatile.
• Ma Hongjun asked Flender about copying Yu Xiaogang’s First Spirit Skill, and Yu Xiaogang argued that other Spirit Masters would imitate the research shown on the Heavenly Screen.

• Xu Xiaoxing joked that the spectators would be furious if Yu Xiaogang defeated Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang called Tang Hao an insignificant nobody.

• Yu Xiaogang told the excited soul masters that they would need to offer something valuable to obtain anything from him.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect watched Yu Xiaogang share the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s knowledge in exchange for new discoveries. Sword Douluo explained the strategy to Ning Fengzhi, who considered copying it but realized the clan’s future god-level protection made the plan safer for Yu Xiaogang’s clan.

• Ning Fengzhi questioned why Yu Xiaogang would share clan teachings instead of paying for knowledge.

• Ning Fengzhi recognized that sharing unused books could bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect valuable improvements and began considering doing the same.
• Ning Fengzhi worried that ungrateful soul masters might threaten the sect, then realized Yu Yuanzhen’s future godhood could protect the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Ning Fengzhi wondered how thirteen-year-old Yu Xiaogang had devised such a far-sighted strategy.

Yu Xiaogang explained why he wanted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to share some of its knowledge: the clan could encourage talented researchers across the continent and benefit from their discoveries. Yu Yuanzhen and the Second Elder agreed to begin cataloging the clan’s library, while Yu Xiaogang planned to delegate research so he could focus on his many other pursuits.

• Yu Yuanzhen and the Second Elder asked Yu Xiaogang why he intended to exchange his own contributions for access to the clan’s knowledge.
• Yu Xiaogang pointed out that the clan’s research progress was slow and asked when another person like him might emerge; the elders recognized that one might not appear for millennia.

• The Second Elder agreed to organize and catalog the clan library, and Yu Xiaogang explained that he wanted others to pursue research so he could learn from their results.

Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen agreed that Yu Xiaogang would organize the clan’s knowledge and share regular summaries, while Yu Xiaogang in the Dark World questioned why his parallel self received support for making knowledge public.

• Yu Yuanzhen agreed to send Yu Xiaogang a list of the clan’s knowledge and told him to summarize every contribution for the clan.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained that knowledge Yu Xiaogang considered ordinary could be valuable to others, and reminded him not to judge people by his own standards.

• Yu Xiaogang recalled that Yu Yuanzhen’s reprimand letter had warned he would be purged from the clan if he revealed its knowledge again.
• Flender told Yu Xiaogang that his parallel self had expanded the clan’s library through knowledge exchanges, while Yu Xiaogang had sold clan knowledge for a meager royalty.

Flender explained why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had supported Yu Xiaogang’s parallel-world counterpart, deepening Yu Xiaogang’s resentment and prompting Tang San to condemn the exchange of clan inheritance. The video showed civilian Soul Masters lining up to trade their skills and knowledge with the clan, and the first Soul Master received an offer of guidance on his next Spirit Ring in exchange for his medicinal powder formulas.

• Flender explained that the clan had withheld support from Yu Xiaogang because his work had not benefited it, and Yu Xiaogang blamed the clan rather than accepting responsibility.
• Tang San objected to the public exchange of clan inheritance and decided he would prohibit such exchanges in his future Tang Sect.
• The video showed civilian Soul Masters visiting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s residence in Heaven Dou City to trade their unique skills and insights for the clan’s knowledge.
• The first Soul Master demonstrated three powders made with his Dream Ghost Grass Martial Soul, including poison, hallucination, and corrosive powders, along with their antidotes.
• The Soul Master asked for advice on choosing a Spirit Ring as he approached Soul Emperor, and the clan offered to assess his circumstances in exchange for his formulas.

Civilian Soul Masters brought unusual discoveries to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in exchange for help, leaving both sides satisfied with the deals. Yu Yuanzhen and the elders discussed why rival factions were unlikely to copy the clan’s open approach.

• A Soul Elder entered the estate to have his Martial Soul tested after clan members helped him choose a target, and the waiting civilians grew more eager to trade.
• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan received many unexpected discoveries, including a Soul Beast blood-and-meat recipe that temporarily increased a Soul Master's total Soul Power.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the elders praised Yu Xiaogang's foresight after testing the discoveries and realizing how much knowledge they had overlooked.
• The Third Elder warned that the Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires might imitate the clan and attract the discoveries, and Yu Yuanzhen agreed that the risk mattered.
• The First Elder argued that powerful factions would resist helping civilians rise because their leaders and established Soul Masters wanted to protect their positions.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s elders embraced Yu Xiaogang’s plan to make the clan a holy land of knowledge, while Yu Xiaogang focused on how sharing its inheritance benefited him and his allies. After another tournament victory, Yu Xiaogang teased Bibi Dong about their friendship and suggested finding something to do after the qualifiers.

• The First Elder persuaded the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s leaders to build its reputation as a place where spirit masters could gather and exchange knowledge.
• Commoner spirit masters welcomed the clan’s offer to exchange everything from basic cultivation methods to advanced secrets, easing their resentment toward Yu Xiaogang’s team.

• Yu Xiaogang changed the subject to finding something else to do after the qualifiers, while Xu Xiaoxing and the other teammates smiled at his interaction with Bibi Dong.

After the preliminary round, Lin Fei rejected several powers’ offers and reaffirmed his plan to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As the Martial Soul Academy Second Team prepared for the next stage, Yu Xiaogang offered to lend his teammates money to bet on their own victory.

• The Martial Soul Academy Second Team finished the preliminary round undefeated, and Lin Fei’s role in its success attracted offers from major powers.
• Lin Fei firmly rejected the offers because he had decided to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, pleasing Yu Xiaogang and leaving Bibi Dong conflicted.
