Chapter Summaries

Hu Bai challenged Hu Liena to consider whether she would stay loyal to Spirit Hall if she fell for its enemy, then coached her on putting duty before personal feelings. Hu Liena struggled to imagine choosing against Hu Bai, and his lesson left Xie Tian and Hu Leyao shocked by his ruthless reasoning.

• Hu Bai reminded Hu Liena that her hypothetical love would be unrequited and that the person already loved someone else, and she insisted she would stand with Spirit Hall.
• Hu Bai said Hu Liena might abandon that resolve if the person had his face, and she could not decide between him and Spirit Hall.
• Hu Bai explained that, in her position, he would refuse to betray Spirit Hall or his teacher for unrequited love and urged Hu Liena to act according to what she believed was right.
• Hu Bai told Hu Liena that if she were stronger than the person she loved, she should take him for herself, but if she were weaker, she should accept Spirit Hall's actions and die with him in secret.
• Xie Tian and Hu Leyao eavesdropped and were stunned by Hu Bai's severe advice.

Hu Bai helped Hu Liena reason through loyalty to family and the danger of being misled by love. At the Pope’s Palace, Bibi Dong arranged for Hu Bai to study with Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, while securing two Titled Douluo elders to support her disciple.

• Hu Bai explained to Hu Liena that she should stand by family, but oppose someone who used her and harmed Spirit Hall or her teacher; Hu Liena said she understood.

• Bibi Dong convinced Qian Daoliu to take Qian Renxue away, and Qian Renxue told Hu Bai she would wait for him at the Worship Hall.

• Hu Bai boosted the Light Element and detonated Flash Balls around Bibi Dong, filling the Pope's Palace with intense light.

As Qian Renxue reflected on her changing feelings toward Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu began teaching Hu Bai the Light Attribute healing skill Holy Light Heal.

• Qian Daoliu began teaching Hu Bai Holy Light Heal, a healing skill that combined the Six-Winged Angel's Sacred Power and Light Power.

Hu Bai considered Gold and Space Attribute soul rings for his third ring and learned to strengthen his Light Element healing with Qian Daoliu’s guidance. He asked to study the soul-power circulation behind Holy Light Heal, and Qian Daoliu turned to Qian Renxue.

• Qian Daoliu warned Hu Bai that learning Holy Light Heal would require him to create a Self-Created Soul Skill, while Qian Renxue joined the lessons to improve her mastery.
• Qian Jun and Jiang Mo urged Hu Bai to choose a Gold Attribute soul ring and offered to teach him staff techniques.
• Qian Daoliu pointed out that a Gold Attribute ring could strengthen Hu Bai’s siblings’ Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm fusion, while a Space Attribute ring could grant abilities such as Teleportation.
• Qian Daoliu taught Hu Bai to condense the Light Element’s healing power, and Hu Bai reduced the time needed to heal a finger wound to under ten seconds.
• Hu Bai asked Qian Daoliu to explain the soul-power and Spiritual Power circulation used by Holy Light Heal, but Qian Daoliu hesitated to let him examine his body and looked to Qian Renxue.

Hu Bai examined Qian Renxue’s Third Soul Skill and learned to reproduce its healing effect as Light Healing. Bibi Dong arrived at the Worship Hall just as Hu Bai finished demonstrating his new skill.

• Qian Daoliu suggested that Qian Renxue let Hu Bai use his Spiritual Power to study how her Third Soul Skill worked, and Qian Renxue agreed because she trusted him.

• Hu Bai used Light Healing on himself, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu, whose healing effect impressed Qian Daoliu.
• Bibi Dong arrived at the Worship Hall and asked Hu Bai how his learning had gone.

Hu Bai’s successful Light Healing softened Bibi Dong’s hostility and gave Qian Renxue hope that her mother might accept her.

• Azure Luan and Light Feather Douluo agreed to face Sea God Island’s resentment over Spirit Hall’s past attack and seek Bo Saixi’s assistance.

Hu Bai urged Bibi Dong to improve her relationship with Qian Renxue, and she promised to give it more time. During a week of study and training, Hu Bai learned Angel Assault and adapted it into his own light-attribute soul skill, Sky Fox Assault.

• Hu Bai asked Bibi Dong to reconcile with Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong gently promised to address their relationship in time.
• Bibi Dong arranged for Hu Bai, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue to study theory during the day and receive individual guidance in the afternoons.

• Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue taught Hu Bai Angel Assault, the Six-Winged Angel's First Soul Skill.
• Hu Bai modified Angel Assault into the self-created light-attribute soul skill Sky Fox Assault.

Hu Bai mastered a Lightning Element version of Sky Fox Assault and continued developing his elemental control. Bibi Dong summoned Lei Kuang to teach him Lightning Element applications and safely guide his Lightning Body Tempering.

• Hu Bai devised a Lightning Element version of Sky Fox Assault and completed it in less than three days, while noticing his elemental control and Lightning Power seemed to improve.

• Hu Bai introduced himself to Lei Kuang, who recognized him as Xie Tian and Hu Leyao’s son and asked him to call him Uncle Lei.
• Bibi Dong revealed Hu Bai’s Bloodline Ancestral Return, his control over many elements, and his plan to follow the path of All Elements.
• Bibi Dong asked Lei Kuang to teach Hu Bai Lightning Element applications and help him practice Lightning Body Tempering safely, promising Spirit Hall’s support.

Hu Bai began Lightning Body Tempering under Lei Kuang's supervision, determined to strengthen his physique despite the dangers. Bibi Dong and the Five Great Worships secretly watched as Lei Kuang sent a controlled current through him, and Hu Bai endured the initial pain.

• Lei Kuang told Hu Bai that his Mutated Lightning War Hammer and eighty-third-level Soul Douluo strength surpassed Hu Bai's parents unless they used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Lei Kuang warned Hu Bai that Lightning Body Tempering could damage his meridians, but Hu Bai explained that he prioritized physique and Soul Beast bloodlines over Soul Ring age.
• Lei Kuang agreed to temper Hu Bai with a carefully controlled current instead of heavenly lightning, and Hu Bai sat down and protected his meridians with Soul Power.
• Bibi Dong and the Five Great Worships secretly observed from above as Lei Kuang began channeling lightning into Hu Bai.
• Lei Kuang gradually increased the current and told Hu Bai to speak up before reaching his limit, while Hu Bai clenched his teeth and endured the pain.

Hu Bai endured half an hour of lightning body tempering and entered a rare, self-forgetting state that caused his Soul Rings’ elemental purity to increase. Qian Daoliu suspected Hu Bai might eventually develop Ultimate Lightning and Ultimate Light, and ordered everyone to keep the discovery secret.

• Lei Kuang maintained level-15 lightning power while Hu Bai endured the body-tempering session, and Bibi Dong defended her disciple when Mighty Lion Douluo commented on him.
• After half an hour, Hu Bai entered an ethereal state and became less aware of the pain.
• Lei Kuang noticed lightning and light elements entering Hu Bai, while Hu Bai’s Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Martial Soul absorbed the elements through its two Soul Rings.
• Bibi Dong and the Five Great Worships appeared, and Qian Daoliu explained that Hu Bai’s Soul Rings seemed to be gaining elemental purity.
• Qian Daoliu speculated that Hu Bai might develop Ultimate Lightning and Ultimate Light, then ordered everyone present to keep the matter secret.

Hu Bai awakened after entering an unusual state during Lightning Body Tempering, and Bibi Dong explained that his Lightning and Light attributes might eventually become Ultimate Attributes. Hu Bai worried that gaining more Ultimate Attributes would slow his cultivation and decided to seek the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye sooner.

• Bibi Dong guarded Hu Bai while Lei Kuang neared the end of his Soul Power, and she told him to break through his limit if necessary.
• Hu Bai awakened unharmed and told Bibi Dong and Lei Kuang that the Lightning and Light Elements had grown unusually active during his body tempering.
• Bibi Dong sent Lei Kuang away and explained that the attributes in Hu Bai's Soul Rings were becoming purer, possibly advancing into Ultimate Attributes.
• Hu Bai considered how Ultimate Attributes could suppress opponents but slow cultivation after level thirty, and he decided to move up his plans for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
• Bibi Dong ordered Hu Bai to rest and undergo Lightning Body Tempering only once every three days, and warned him not to try it secretly.

Hu Bai asked Yue Guan for books about Immortal Herbs, and Yue Guan gave him his collected notes. Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu discovered that Soul Masters with Ultimate Attributes struggled to cultivate beyond Soul Elder, but believed Spirit Hall could provide the resources Hu Bai would need.

• Qian Daoliu found an old record stating that Ultimate Attribute Soul Masters’ cultivation slowed drastically after reaching Soul Elder and required enormous resources.
• Hu Bai visited Yue Guan and asked for books about rare flowers and herbs that could benefit Soul Masters.
• Yue Guan explained his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, his search for the matching Immortal Herb, and his hope of reaching level 96 to enter the Worship Hall.
• Yue Guan handed Hu Bai a booklet containing his research on Immortal Herbs, Half Immortal Herbs, and Spirit Grass.

Qian Daoliu revealed that Soul Beasts could grow far beyond a hundred thousand years, leaving Bibi Dong considering the dangers and treasures hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Extreme North Land.

• Hu Bai thanked Yue Guan for teaching him about Immortal Herbs, promised to save him one if he found another, and returned to his room to study Yue Guan’s notes.
• Bibi Dong asked Qian Daoliu what he had learned about Ultimate Attributes, and he explained that Hu Bai’s Soul Rings might gain them without severely slowing his cultivation.

• Bibi Dong said she would search the Star Dou Great Forest with Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to find Life Gold for Hu Bai.
• Qian Daoliu warned Bibi Dong that powerful Soul Beasts could exceed a hundred thousand years of cultivation and suggested that such creatures might also live in the Extreme North Land.

Bibi Dong discussed making Hu Bai Spirit Hall’s Saint Son, while Azure Luan and Guang Ling traveled to Sea God Island to seek rare water-attribute Soul Beasts. Bo Saixi identified the Merfolk Clan and proposed that the two Worships help Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks hunt their enemies, the Evil Spirit Orca pack.

• Bibi Dong told the Worships she intended to establish Hu Bai as Saint Son if he passed her test, and Qian Daoliu supported the plan.
• A month later, Azure Luan and Guang Ling reached Sea God Island and announced that they had come with a letter from Qian Daoliu for Bo Saixi.

Hu Bai persuaded Bibi Dong to let him travel to Heaven Dou City with Yue Guan and his parents, hoping to explore the empire and find opportunities. As they set out, Hu Bai began probing Yue Guan about his past and considered whether Dugu Bo and others might be recruited by Spirit Hall.

• Hu Bai asked Bibi Dong to accompany Yue Guan to the Heaven Dou Empire, and she agreed while ordering Yue Guan and Ling Yuan to protect him.
• Hu Bai refused Hu Liena’s request to join the trip, and Xie Yue suggested taking her to Spirit Hall Academy instead.
• Hu Bai, Yue Guan, Xie Tian, and Hu Leyao left for Heaven Dou City in two carriages.
• During the journey, Hu Bai told Yue Guan he had finished reading his Immortal Herb notes, then asked how Yue Guan got the nickname “Ju Hua Guan.”
• Hu Bai secretly used the conversation to assess Yue Guan’s relationship with Dugu Bo and considered recruiting Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling into Spirit Hall.

Hu Bai persuaded Yue Guan to consider whether Dugu Bo might possess valuable medicinal herbs and then led the group into Sunset Forest, hoping to find Dugu Bo’s hidden treasure land. The group discovered green mist during their search, leaving them poised to investigate.

• Hu Bai asked Yue Guan about Dugu Bo’s knowledge of medicinal herbs and suggested he might grow them in a private garden.
• Hu Bai resolved to recruit Dugu Bo if it benefited Spirit Hall, and Yue Guan realized Dugu Bo might not recognize the Immortal Herbs they sought.
• Hu Bai stopped the carriages near Sunset Forest and insisted on entering because he sensed something there.
• Yue Guan led Hu Bai, Xie Tian, and Hu Leyao into the forest while Ling Yuan followed from the shadows.
• Hu Bai’s group searched through the night and spotted a cloud of green mist as they prepared to rest.

Hu Bai and Yue Guan entered Dugu Bo’s hidden valley and found him suffering from poisonous backlash. Hu Bai offered to cure him in exchange for the Treasure Land, then warned that Dugu Bo’s granddaughter might inherit the poison.

• Yue Guan used two defensive Soul Skills to lead Hu Bai, Xie Tian, and Hu Leyao through Dugu Bo’s poisonous mist.
• The group reached a flower-filled valley and found Dugu Bo suffering from backlash caused by his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.
• Dugu Bo asked Ju Hua Guan to spare his granddaughter, and Yue Guan offered to ease Dugu Bo’s condition if he handed over the valley.
• Dugu Bo refused to give up the Treasure Land, but Hu Bai claimed he could cure him completely and warned that his granddaughter might also be poisoned.
