Chapter Summaries

After helping the survivors deal with Snake Plum Village, Yu Xiaogang revealed to Bibi Dong that Ah Yin was a transformed hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. Bibi Dong agreed to keep the secret between them, leaving Ah Yin unaware that they knew her identity.

• Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Ah Yin learned that a Fallen Soul Master had destroyed Snake Plum Village, and Yue Guan explained that nearby towns could arrange for new villagers to settle there.
• Ah Yin persuaded Tang Xiao to help gather the villagers' bodies while Tang Hao rested, and everyone began moving the corpses.
• Bibi Dong asked Yu Xiaogang why Ah Yin was unusual, and he told her that Ah Yin was not human but a transformed hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
• Yu Xiaogang said he had no interest in Ah Yin's Soul Ring or Spirit Bone and warned Bibi Dong not to reveal her identity, especially to her teacher.
• Bibi Dong promised that Ah Yin's identity would remain a secret known only to her and Yu Xiaogang.

Ah Yin and Bibi Dong discussed their experiences with Soul Masters before turning to Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass martial soul and her plans to develop its healing potential. Ah Yin explained that she had named its evolved form the Blue Silver Emperor and left Bibi Dong with her confidence that she understood Blue Silver Grass better than anyone.

• Ah Yin asked why Bibi Dong had been watching her, and Bibi Dong said she had never met a Soul Master like her and that Yu Xiaogang was the only person who stood out among her peers.
• Ah Yin reflected on how her encounters with humans, especially Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Yu Xiaogang, had deepened her interest in human life.
• Ah Yin told Bibi Dong that her martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, which had evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor after she gained another Spirit Ring.
• Ah Yin explained that she intended to use Blue Silver Grass’s tenacious vitality to heal teammates and confidently claimed that no one understood it better than she did.

Shrek Academy debated whether Tang San should follow Ah Yin’s suggested Healing System path, but Tang San chose to keep the control route. On the Heavenly Screen, Bibi Dong found Ah Yin’s earnest effort to learn human ways uncanny before Yu Xiaogang explained that transformed Soul Beasts gradually acquired human mannerisms.

• Flender questioned whether Yu Xiaogang had chosen the right path for Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang defended the control route.
• Tang San said he preferred the control route, leaving Flender unable to persuade him otherwise.
• Ning Rongrong criticized Tang San and Yu Xiaogang for ignoring the Heavenly Screen’s guidance, then decided not to warn Tang San further.
• Bibi Dong tested Ah Yin with obscure topics and realized Ah Yin was genuinely learning about human society.
• Bibi Dong told Yu Xiaogang that Ah Yin’s adult appearance and beginner-like behavior felt eerie, and Yu Xiaogang explained how transformed Soul Beasts learned human customs over time.

Tang San noticed Xiao Wu’s unusual habits and nearly concluded that she was a transformed Spirit Beast, but convinced himself they came from her rabbit Martial Soul. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang’s group continued their journey and he began testing their newly devised Soul Core condensation method.

• Tang San recalled Xiao Wu’s strange habits, suspected she was a transformed Spirit Beast, then reassured himself that her rabbit Martial Soul explained them.
• Yu Xiaogang’s group burned the Snake Plum Village corpses, reported the attack in Swell City, and parted ways with Tang Hao and the others.
• Yu Xiaogang secretly asked his father’s sect to watch Ah Yin, while Bibi Dong avoided alerting Spirit Hall to her presence.
• Yu Xiaogang’s group developed several Soul Core condensation methods, but Yue Guan and Gui Mei worried that the process could injure their lower abdomens.
• Yu Xiaogang used his Soul Skills and Little Dragon’s healing ability to protect himself, then began compressing Soul Power in his lower abdomen and injecting additional power into the vortex.

Yu Xiaogang safely condensed a Soul Power Vortex through repeated trials, then tested its benefits in a spar with Yue Guan. He explained the vortex’s effects to the others and refused to let Bibi Dong attempt one until she improved her control over her powers.

• Yu Xiaogang’s experiments caused his lower abdomen to explode, but he used Elementalization to survive and recorded how to avoid the mistake.
• Yu Xiaogang tested possible failures with Elementalization active and eventually condensed a Soul Power Vortex using a method he had made reliable.
• Yu Xiaogang sparred with Yue Guan and found that the vortex greatly improved his Soul Power recovery and Soul Skill strength while imbuing his Soul Power with Little Dragon’s traits.
• Yu Xiaogang explained the vortex’s benefits and asked Yue Guan and Gui Mei whether they wanted to try condensing one.
• Bibi Dong eagerly asked to try, but Yu Xiaogang refused because she lacked the necessary control and a fallback like Elementalization, and urged her to train her Soul Power control.

Ning Fengzhi offered to have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect research a safe Soul Core method, while Yu Xiaogang and the others traveled to Vast Sea City. The group split up to explore and pursue their own interests, and Yu Xiaogang ended up at his clan’s shop amid a dispute over a treasure’s price.

• Ning Fengzhi promised Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo that the sect would organize experiments to develop a safe Soul Core method, and Bone Douluo agreed to record and pass down their findings.
• Yu Xiaogang decided to postpone forming a Soul Core, while Bibi Dong trained her Soul Power control and Yue Guan and Gui Mei cautiously continued studying Soul Power Vortices.
• The group reached Vast Sea City, settled into a luxurious sea-view residence through the Spirit Hall branch, and then set out to explore separately.
• Yu Xiaogang visited Gathering Sea Pavilion and found a crowd arguing outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s shop.
• A customer accused the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of offering far too little for his treasure.

Yu Xiaogang investigated accusations that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was bullying sellers in Vast Sea City and suspected someone might be damaging the clan’s reputation. He entered the clan’s shop in disguise, where he found Yu Qinglü, the Second Elder’s rule-abiding third son, and decided to continue probing.

• A middle-aged seller accused the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of offering too little for his treasure and threatening him if he sold elsewhere.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned a local customer, who described a pattern of unfair treatment and a recent fight over ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber.
• Yu Xiaogang suspected the accusations might point to ulterior motives, since the Second Elder valued rules and fairness and oversaw the clan’s coastal trade.
• After the seller left with a smug smile and the crowd dispersed, Yu Xiaogang put on a mask, boxed a hundred-year Spirit Bone, and entered the shop.
• Yu Xiaogang recognized Yu Qinglü behind the counter and resolved to keep probing because Yu Qinglü was known as a strict follower of rules.

Yu Xiaogang visited the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s shop in disguise and questioned Yu Qinglü about the repeated attempts to damage its reputation. By tracing the troublemakers’ wealth, strength, and business tactics, Yu Xiaogang led Yu Qinglü to suspect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Yu Xiaogang showed Yu Qinglü a soul bone and asked about the commotion outside the shop.
• Yu Qinglü explained that people repeatedly provoked the clan’s shop with false accusations of forced buying and selling.
• Yu Qinglü described how the provocations were traps designed to smear the clan and obstruct its coastal business.
• Yu Xiaogang reasoned that the perpetrators had valuable goods, business expertise, and fighters strong enough to challenge Yu Qinglü.
• Yu Qinglü realized that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fit the clues.

Ning Fengzhi deduced that the Parallel World Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was trying to uncover the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s secret medicine ingredients by disrupting its business. Yu Xiaogang’s unexpected visit exposed their scheme, and Yu Qinglü recognized him but worried that the trouble in Vast Sea City had made him look incapable.

• Ning Fengzhi reasoned that the Parallel World Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect planned to pressure the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and trace the materials used in its secret medicine.
• Yu Qinglü used Yu Xiaogang’s clues to identify the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as the mastermind behind the attacks on his shop.
• Yu Qinglü questioned the masked Yu Xiaogang about his identity and intentions.
• Yu Xiaogang removed his mask, and Yu Qinglü recognized him as the clan’s Young Sect Master and heir.
• Yu Xiaogang explained why he had come to Vast Sea City, and Yu Qinglü felt embarrassed that the situation had occurred in the territory under his responsibility.

Yu Xiaogang deduced that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was disrupting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s business to trace its supply of Whale Rubber, and planned to turn the scheme against them. He learned that Ning Fengzhi was recruiting powerful experts, then recalled the clan’s past dealings with Sword Douluo Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin and ordered the clan to keep watching them.

• Yu Xiaogang inferred that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was targeting the clan’s Whale Rubber supply and decided to sell them fake Whale Rubber to exploit their scheme.
• Yu Qinglü told Yu Xiaogang that Ning Fengzhi was touring the continent to recruit powerful experts for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Yu Qinglü listed independent experts, including Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin, whom Yu Xiaogang remembered from their visit to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Yu Xiaogang recalled that Chen Jianjun had sparred with Yu Yuanzhen and that Chen Xin had declined Yu Yuanzhen’s invitation to join the clan.
• Yu Xiaogang instructed the clan to monitor Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin in case Chen Xin later changed his mind.

Yu Xiaogang planned to recruit Chen Xin and Gu Rong into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could secure them. In the present world, Ning Fengzhi feared losing his sect’s guardians, while Ning Rongrong felt relieved that her Yu Xiaogang could never poach them.

• Yu Xiaogang concluded that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could meet Chen Xin and Gu Rong’s needs and decided to sabotage the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s recruitment plans.
• Ning Fengzhi recognized that the parallel Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could offer Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo everything they wanted, and more.
• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo envied their parallel selves and saw little reason for them to refuse the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• At Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong panicked at the thought of Yu Xiaogang poaching Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa from her parallel self.
• Ning Rongrong felt glad that her Yu Xiaogang could never recruit the two guardians.

Yu Xiaogang met Bone Douluo Gu Rong in Vast Sea City and impressed him with his strength, composure, and manners. Yu Xiaogang invited Gu Rong to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, leaving Gu Rong wondering why the clan wanted him when it already had powerful fighters.

• Yu Xiaogang learned that Gu Rong was in Vast Sea City and sent him a calling card.
• Gu Rong agreed to receive Yu Xiaogang, curious about why the young man had sought him out.
• Yu Xiaogang told Gu Rong that he was a Soul Emperor and spoke with him calmly, earning Gu Rong’s approval.
• Yu Xiaogang said he had come both to pay a friendly visit and to invite Gu Rong to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Gu Rong was surprised by the invitation and questioned why the clan needed him when it already had formidable strength.

Yu Xiaogang explained to Gu Rong that he wanted to strengthen the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in preparation for a possible future conflict with Spirit Hall. He left Gu Rong understanding that the clan would pursue his father’s rise to godhood and that Spirit Hall might oppose it.

• Gu Rong said Spirit Hall far surpassed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, whose strength relied heavily on Yu Yuanzhen.
• Yu Xiaogang told Gu Rong he wanted allies so the clan could withstand Spirit Hall if it turned hostile.
• Yu Xiaogang worried that Qian Daoliu and the Angel God would oppose his father if he tried to become a god.
• Yu Xiaogang led Gu Rong to conclude that his father would seek greater power and that Spirit Hall would not allow the clan to challenge its domain of faith.
• Gu Rong realized that Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were likely to clash, and that Yu Xiaogang was already preparing for that future conflict.

Hu Liena learned that Qian Daoliu would oppose Yu Xiaogang without hesitation if the Angel God ordered it, while Bibi Dong trusted Yu Xiaogang’s preparations. On the Heavenly Screen, Yu Xiaogang tried to recruit Gu Rong by offering clan resources and secret medicines, leaving Gu Rong curious about the clan’s talent-enhancing medicine.

• Hu Liena asked Qian Daoliu what he would do if the Angel God issued a divine oracle, and he said he would immediately become Yu Xiaogang’s enemy.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other Consecrated Elders worried that Qian Daoliu would obey an order to fight Yu Xiaogang even if it meant certain death.
• Bibi Dong leaned against Yu Xiaogang and trusted him to handle the matter, while Yu Xiaogang reflected on how much his preparations had once worried him.
• Gu Rong asked whether recruiting him was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s collective idea or Yu Xiaogang’s own, and Yu Xiaogang said it was his own plan.
• Yu Xiaogang offered Gu Rong high-quality spirit-ring-age medicine and the clan’s help in securing suitable spirit rings for his descendants.
• Yu Xiaogang offered to reveal the secret medicine that had helped the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s elders become Titled Douluos, and Gu Rong waited to hear more.

Gu Rong questioned Yu Xiaogang’s authority to offer the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Secret Medicine and deduced that Yu Xiaogang had discovered the medicines himself. The chapter ended with Gu Rong asking Yu Xiaogang directly whether he had discovered the Secret Medicine that increases soul ring age.

• Yu Xiaogang assured Gu Rong that the clan’s seniors would listen to his opinion and offered one dose of the talent-enhancing Secret Medicine, along with enough medicine to increase soul ring age.
• Gu Rong considered Yu Xiaogang’s influence, his thousand-year First Soul Ring, and the timing of the medicines’ appearance, then concluded that Yu Xiaogang had likely discovered them.
• Gu Rong abruptly asked whether Yu Xiaogang had discovered the Secret Medicine that increases soul ring age, and Yu Xiaogang’s brief surprise confirmed Gu Rong’s suspicion.
• Yu Xiaogang admitted that Gu Rong had uncovered his greatest secret and asked what had led him to the conclusion.
• Gu Rong explained that Yu Xiaogang’s influence implied repeated demonstrations of ability and asked whether he had truly discovered the Secret Medicine.

Yu Xiaogang told Gu Rong that he had discovered Whale Rubber as a child while searching for a way to overcome his poor talent. Gu Rong realized Yu Xiaogang’s success came not from luck but from his own efforts, and understood Yu Yuanzhen’s pride and helplessness.

• Gu Rong repeatedly asked Yu Xiaogang whether he had discovered the secret medicine, and Yu Xiaogang admitted that he had.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that he had kept the discovery quiet because revealing it could have made him a target for kidnapping and assassination.
• Yu Xiaogang described how his rank-one Innate Soul Power would have left him with a limited future, so he searched for a way to change his circumstances.
• Gu Rong recognized that Yu Xiaogang had found Whale Rubber himself before he was ten, rather than merely benefiting from the clan’s research.
• Gu Rong understood why Yu Yuanzhen had felt helpless and proud while others dismissed Yu Xiaogang’s achievements as luck.

Yu Xiaogang’s past achievements convinced people across Douluo Continent that his success came from effort and ingenuity, not merely luck. As Gu Rong weighed the threats facing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang revealed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his confidence in facing a Tier 99 Titled Douluo.

• People across Douluo Continent recognized Yu Xiaogang’s hard work and stopped dismissing his achievements as luck.
• Yu Yuanzhen celebrated the Heavenly Screen’s broadcast, glad that everyone could see his son’s accomplishments for themselves.
• Gu Rong learned that Yu Xiaogang had helped discover the clan’s Secret Medicine, while the clan’s alchemists developed the later medicine using the Ice and Fire Spring’s herbs.
• Gu Rong warned Yu Xiaogang that the clan would face powerful enemies, including Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang Chen, and questioned how it could withstand two Tier 99 Titled Douluo.
• Yu Xiaogang summoned Little Dragon and revealed his scarlet Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, declaring it gave him confidence to face a Tier 99 Titled Douluo.

Yu Xiaogang explained to Gu Rong that he was preparing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to resist Spirit Hall if necessary, while hoping the two sides could coexist. After seeing Yu Xiaogang’s Hundred Thousand Year Sixth Soul Ring, Gu Rong grew eager to join the clan and witness his rise.

• Gu Rong was stunned to see Yu Xiaogang’s Hundred Thousand Year Sixth Soul Ring and learned that Spirit Hall had helped him obtain it.
• Yu Xiaogang admitted his gratitude to Spirit Hall but explained that he was preparing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to protect his family and clan if conflict came.
• Gu Rong understood Yu Xiaogang’s wish to balance the two powers and praised his foresight.
• Gu Rong concluded that Yu Xiaogang could become the strongest person on the Douluo Continent and grew more eager to follow him into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Xiaogang tried to persuade Gu Rong to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan by revealing its secret arts. Gu Rong was stunned by a technique that could multiply Soul Power reserves, and Yu Xiaogang offered to explain the clan’s other options.

• Gu Rong questioned what he would gain from joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Yu Xiaogang acknowledged that the clan’s inherited knowledge would not suit him.
• Yu Xiaogang revealed that the clan possessed a secret art that could increase a Soul Master’s total Soul Power reserves severalfold, making Gu Rong rise in shock.
• Yu Xiaogang said the First Elder had doubled his reserves and Yu Yuanzhen had increased his by four and a half times.
• Gu Rong imagined how much more freely he could fight with doubled Soul Power and grew eager to obtain the secret art.
• Yu Xiaogang offered to tell Gu Rong about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s other secret arts.

Yu Xiaogang revealed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s many extraordinary Soul Master theories, and Gu Rong realized Yu Xiaogang had discovered them. Gu Rong agreed to join the clan on two conditions, the second of which was to travel the continent with Yu Xiaogang.

• Yu Xiaogang listed the clan’s secrets, including ways to double Soul Power, create Self-Created Soul Skills, evolve Martial Souls, and become a Titled Douluo.
• Gu Rong was stunned by the revelations and suspected Yu Xiaogang had brought these discoveries to the clan.
• Yu Xiaogang admitted that he had discovered and compiled the theories, and that his own strength came from applying them.
• Gu Rong agreed to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan if Yu Xiaogang gave him a reasonable way to obtain the knowledge.
• Gu Rong made his second condition: he wanted to travel the continent with Yu Xiaogang.
