Chapter Summaries

Hu Bai was reborn into the Xie family as Hu Leyao and Xie Tian’s son, then grew up determined to prevent his parents from dying as they had in the original story. Six years later, he headed with Hu Liena and Xie Yue to awaken his Martial Soul, after his warning about Wolf Raiders had already changed his parents’ fate.

• Hu Leyao gave birth to Dragon-Phoenix Twins, and Xie Tian named the boy Hu Bai and the girl Hu Liena while Xie Yue became their older brother.

Hu Bai and Hu Liena went to the Pope's Palace for their martial soul awakenings, where Hu Liena showed exceptional talent and Hu Bai awakened a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox through a bloodline ancestral return. The chapter left Hu Bai stunned by the power and significance of his new martial soul.

• Hu Bai recognized the Nine-Tailed Fox as a legendary divine beast from his past life on Blue Star.

Hu Bai discovered that his mutated Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Martial Soul gave him more than Innate Full Soul Power and Charm: it also granted Natural Elemental Affinity and a Sky Fox Domain. After accepting Bibi Dong as his teacher, he revealed these abilities to his family and began to reject the path of Charm.

• Hu Bai and Hu Liena revealed their Innate Full Soul Power, and Bibi Dong invited both children to become her final disciples.

• At home, Hu Bai released his Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Martial Soul and drew nearby elements toward himself.
• Hu Bai formed a flame with Fox Fire and explained that his Martial Soul granted Natural Elemental Affinity and a Sky Fox Domain, not just Charm.

Hu Bai persuaded Xie Tian and Hu Leyao to let him pursue a path combining multiple elements, then chose a Lightning Attribute Soul Beast for his First Soul Ring so he could temper his body with lightning. He and his parents secretly traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest, where they prepared to search for a rare-bloodline Soul Beast.

• Hu Bai explained his plan to develop multiple elements and create his own soul skills, and Xie Yue supported him despite Xie Tian and Hu Leyao's concerns.
• Xie Tian and Hu Leyao agreed to take Hu Bai to the Star Dou Great Forest while Xie Yue and Hu Liena stayed behind to distract attention.

• Xie Tian, Hu Leyao, and Hu Bai disguised themselves and secretly traveled from Spirit City toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• After several days, the three reached the forest's outskirts and rested before searching for a Lightning Attribute Soul Beast with a rare bloodline.

Hu Bai recognized a lightning-loving plant Soul Beast as the Thunderclap Nether Vine and led his parents to one in a storm-struck field. Xie Tian prepared to capture the roughly five-hundred-year-old vine for Hu Bai’s first Soul Ring.

• After days of searching, Hu Bai refused to settle for an unsuitable Lightning Attribute Soul Beast, and a thunderstorm gave him hope of finding a Thunderclap Nether Vine.
• Hu Bai explained the vine’s habitat to Xie Tian and Hu Leyao, who used her Spiritual Power to locate a nearby lightning field while Hu Bai aided her with his Sky Fox Domain.

• Hu Bai identified the five-segment vine as roughly five hundred years old and suitable for his First Soul Ring.
• Xie Tian summoned his seven Soul Rings and readied his Moon Blade to bring the vine to Hu Bai.

Xie Tian and Hu Bai subdued a Thunderclap Nether Vine, and Hu Bai began absorbing its Soul Ring as his First Soul Ring. Back at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong learned they had gone hunting without permission and ordered them to bring Hu Bai and Hu Liena to see her; Xie Yue and Hu Liena also wondered whether Hu Bai could share a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with them.

• Yue Guan took the higher-quality right leg Soul Bone, while Xie Tian received the left one, and Yue Guan credited Hu Bai for helping the team.
• Xie Tian wore down the Thunderclap Nether Vine, then Hu Bai used Fox Fire to defeat it and began absorbing its dark yellow Soul Ring.

• Xie Yue and Hu Liena worried about Bibi Dong's reaction and recalled that they had successfully performed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together.
• Xie Yue asked whether Hu Liena might also resonate with Hu Bai, and Hu Liena recalled sensing a faint resonance with her twin brother.

Qian Renxue questioned whether going undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire would win Bibi Dong’s approval, while Qian Daoliu decided not to send her yet. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Hu Bai successfully absorbed a Thunderclap Nether Vine Soul Ring and discovered both its powerful lightning abilities and the spiritual effort required to control elements.

• Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu she did not want to leave her new friends, and he decided to postpone her Heaven Dou Empire mission.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo and Lion argued against sending Qian Renxue undercover, and Qian Daoliu forbade them from raising the matter again.

• Hu Bai revealed that his First Soul Skill, Elemental Control: Lightning, greatly enhanced his lightning control and could double lightning power.
• Hu Bai warned Xie Tian and Hu Leyao that elemental control consumed Spiritual Power, then Xie Tian and Hu Leyao sensed danger and shielded him.

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao defeated a Ten Thousand Year Three-Eyed Demon Fox that had targeted Hu Bai, then found a rare eye External Soul Bone in its remains. Hu Leyao gave it to Hu Bai to help develop his Spiritual Power, leaving him overwhelmed by her sacrifice.

• A Ten Thousand Year Three-Eyed Demon Fox attacked Hu Bai, but Xie Tian and Hu Leyao protected him and drove it back.
• Xie Tian and Hu Leyao used their Demon Charm Martial Soul Fusion Skill to kill the fox with Moon Kill.
• Hu Bai explained that he needed greater Spiritual Power to gather elements and potentially use Element Fusion effectively.
• The Three-Eyed Demon Fox's corpse revealed a rare External Soul Bone made from its vertical pupil.
• Hu Leyao gave the Soul Bone to Hu Bai, who cried and protested that it could help her reach the Soul Douluo level and beyond.

Hu Bai absorbed the External Soul Bone his mother had given him, and his Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Martial Soul devoured the Three-Eyed Demon Fox’s resentment. After reaching Level Twenty and gaining powerful soul-bone abilities, he discovered that his control over several elements had improved.

• Hu Leyao gave Hu Bai the Vertical Pupil External Soul Bone, explaining that she wanted him to have the chance to evolve it into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Hu Bai promised to find Hu Leyao a suitable Soul Bone in the future, then began absorbing the External Soul Bone under his parents’ protection.
• The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox seized and devoured the Three-Eyed Demon Fox’s resentment within Hu Bai’s Spiritual Space, and a white Vertical Pupil appeared on his forehead.
• Hu Bai’s Soul Power rose to Level Twenty, and he gained a skill that amplified all attributes by fifty percent, boosted Spiritual Power by two hundred percent, and automatically protected him from spiritual attacks.
• Hu Bai tested his Element Control and found that his control over Wood and Dark had improved, with Wood nearly matching Fire.

Hu Bai concluded that his Wood Element control could support safer Lightning Body Tempering and considered how to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong confronted Hu Liena and Xie Yue over Hu Bai’s parents going to the Star Dou Great Forest, while the Rakshasa God revealed that Hu Bai carried unusual Fortune.

• Hu Bai told Hu Leyao and Xie Tian that his Soul Ring had improved his Wood Element control, and they discussed what attribute he should seek for his second Soul Ring.
• Hu Bai considered claiming the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from Saint Soul Village later, after Tang Hao could no longer take it with him.
• Hu Bai, Hu Leyao, and Xie Tian recovered their Soul Power and continued searching for Soul Beasts in the dangerous region between the outskirts and core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
• After half a month without Hu Bai’s family returning, Hu Liena and Xie Yue worried about them until Bibi Dong appeared and demanded to know why they had left without telling her.
• The Rakshasa God told Bibi Dong through her Spiritual Space that Hu Bai was no ordinary youth and that she could sense Fortune upon him.

Bibi Dong learned from the Rakshasa God that Hu Bai might become an important ally, then heard Xie Yue explain why Hu Bai and his companions had gone to Star Dou Great Forest. As Hu Liena pleaded to search for them, Qian Renxue insisted on joining, and Bibi Dong's cold reply left her daughter in tears.

• The Rakshasa God told Bibi Dong that Hu Bai had good Fortune and could become a great help to her, then disappeared.
• Xie Yue told Bibi Dong that Hu Bai's Martial Soul could control Natural Elements and admitted that he and Hu Liena had acted without permission.
• Hu Liena asked Bibi Dong to search for the group in Star Dou Great Forest, and Bibi Dong said they would wait a few more days before going.
• Qian Renxue arrived and insisted on joining the search, but Bibi Dong told her she would not care if she died.
• Qian Renxue left in tears, while Bibi Dong regretted her words and Qian Daoliu watched silently.

After days of searching the Star Dou Great Forest, Xie Tian, Hu Bai, and Hu Leyao found a three-thousand-year Bright Unicorn that suited Hu Bai’s Second Soul Ring. Xie Tian attacked it while Hu Bai waited for the chance to obtain its Soul Ring and possibly a Soul Bone.

• Qian Daoliu decided to keep observing Hu Bai and consider letting him get closer to Qian Renxue if his talent proved exceptional.
• When Xie Tian and the others had not returned by the third day, Bibi Dong took Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Qian Renxue to the Star Dou Great Forest, with Golden Crocodile Douluo secretly following them.
• Xie Tian, Hu Bai, and Hu Leyao continued searching for a suitable elemental Soul Beast rather than settling for a less fitting target.
• Hu Leyao spotted a three-thousand-year Bright Unicorn, and Xie Tian told Hu Bai its Light Attribute would suit him and could complement his connection with Qian Renxue.
• Hu Bai asked Xie Tian to handle the Bright Unicorn, and Xie Tian attacked it with his Moon Blades as it tried to flee.

Hu Bai killed the Bright Unicorn and discovered that its corpse had produced a pair of Light Wing External Soul Bones. He insisted that Hu Leyao absorb the Soul Bone while he waited to absorb the fading Millennium Soul Ring.

• With Xie Tian's permission, Hu Bai used his Lightning Element to restrain the Bright Unicorn and killed it with nine lightning spheres.
• Hu Bai closed the Bright Unicorn's eyes and prepared to bury it before its corpse began to glow.
• Xie Tian recognized the glow as a pair of Light Wing External Soul Bones and urged Hu Bai to absorb them with the Soul Ring.
• Hu Bai insisted that Hu Leyao absorb the Light Wing External Soul Bone, refusing to take it himself if she would not.
• As the Soul Ring neared dissipation, Hu Leyao agreed to absorb the Soul Bone first, and Xie Tian encouraged her to accept Hu Bai's filial devotion.

Bibi Dong and the others arrived while Hu Bai and Hu Leyao absorbed their soul rewards, and Xie Tian explained Hu Bai’s rapid progress and rare soul bones. Hu Bai completed his second soul ring and reunited with his family, while Bibi Dong noticed how much taller and more charming he had become.

• Hu Liena rushed to Xie Tian and told him she had worried about him during his long absence in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Bibi Dong questioned how Hu Bai was absorbing a three-thousand-year second soul ring, and Xie Tian recounted Hu Bai’s Thunderclap Nether Vine soul ring, ten-thousand-year External Soul Bone, and other recent gains.
• Hu Leyao finished absorbing the Bright Unicorn’s Light Wing External Soul Bone and nervously greeted Bibi Dong, who assured her she would not blame her.
• Hu Leyao listed Hu Bai’s abilities, and Qian Renxue asked to study Light Attribute soul skills with him while Golden Crocodile Douluo considered his extraordinary growth.
• After another two hours, Hu Bai finished absorbing his second soul ring, reunited with Hu Liena, and stood before Bibi Dong, who noticed his increased height and charm.

Hu Bai buried the Bright Unicorn and shared his theory that humans might have evolved from Soul Beasts before testing Martial Soul Fusion Skills with Hu Liena and Xie Yue. Their three-person fusion succeeded, and Hu Bai named it Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm.

• Hu Bai asked to bury the Bright Unicorn, then explained his theory that humans might have evolved from Soul Beasts.
• Bibi Dong considered having Spirit Hall investigate Hu Bai's theory after the group heard it.
• Hu Liena asked Hu Bai to test whether they could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together, but their two-person fusion did not work.
• Xie Yue proposed that all three of them try fusing their Soul Power, and Hu Bai agreed.
• Hu Bai, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue fused into a silver-white Demon Charm with nine physical fox tails.
• Hu Bai named their new Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm.

Hu Bai, Hu Xie Yue, and Hu Liena used Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm to subdue a Three-Eyed Demon Fox for Hu Liena’s Soul Ring. As Bibi Dong sensed Hu Bai’s purifying influence and nearly called Qian Renxue her daughter, Golden Crocodile Douluo secretly witnessed the moment.

• Bibi Dong found a roughly 750-year-old Three-Eyed Demon Fox for Hu Liena to absorb.
• Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm pursued the fox and trapped it with Sky Fox Domain, suppressing it through bloodline pressure.
• Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm battered the fox until it was grievously wounded so Hu Liena could deliver the final blow.
• Bibi Dong felt Hu Bai’s power ease her unstable emotions and nearly called Qian Renxue “Little Xue” and acknowledged her as her child.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo watched Bibi Dong’s slip and was shocked to learn she had called Qian Renxue her daughter.

Hu Bai, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena tested their powerful Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm, and Hu Liena began absorbing the Three-Eyed Demon Fox’s soul ring. The trio discussed the fusion’s abilities and compatibility, leaving Hu Bai’s future third soul ring undecided.

• The Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm struck the Three-Eyed Demon Fox and dissolved after nearly exhausting the trio’s soul power.
• Hu Liena killed the injured Three-Eyed Demon Fox and began absorbing its yellow soul ring, which showed faint purple traces.

• Hu Bai estimated the trio’s martial soul compatibility at around eighty percent, while Bibi Dong compared it with other fusion skills.

Hu Bai, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue returned from their Soul Beast hunt after demonstrating their Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm fusion skill, and Bibi Dong agreed to teach them as her disciples instead of sending them to regular classes. Golden Crocodile Douluo reported their achievements to the Worship Hall, leaving Qian Daoliu and the other Great Worships stunned.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo reported that Hu Bai had obtained two External Soul Bones and that the three children possessed the Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm fusion skill, shocking Qian Daoliu and the other Great Worships.

Qian Daoliu investigated Hu Bai after hearing that Bibi Dong had begun acknowledging Qian Renxue as her daughter, and discovered Hu Bai’s martial soul gathered destiny and elemental power. He decided Spirit Hall should invest heavily in Hu Bai and the people around him.

• Light Feather Douluo argued that Hu Bai should receive both external soul bones, but Qian Daoliu said family affection mattered more than rational calculations.
• Golden Crocodile told the other worships that Bibi Dong had quietly called Qian Renxue her daughter, and Qian Daoliu suspected Hu Bai was connected to her change.

• Qian Daoliu saw elemental powers, especially lightning and light, gathering around Hu Bai and merging into his body.
• Qian Daoliu resolved to give Hu Bai Spirit Hall’s full support and ensure that Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Xie Tian, and Hu Leyao also received resources.

• Qian Daoliu secretly sent Light Power into Hu Bai before disappearing, regretting that Bibi Dong had already taken him as her disciple.
• Hu Bai woke feeling fully rested, and Xie Tian told him to wake Hu Liena before they went to the Pope's Palace to seek help with his lightning training.
