He wondered whether Hu Bai could resolve the flaw in his Martial Soul, though Chen Xin doubted it, and Hu Bai had no suitable immortal herb to offer.

• Ning Fengzhi considered the resources the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gained from Spirit Hall, including food secretly prepared with Whale Rubber, and the Medicine Hall’s experiments with Body Forging Pills.

Tang San reflected on the Mysterious Heaven Skill and became confident he could rebuild the Tang Sect. Meanwhile, Flender established Shrek Academy and tried to recruit students despite the growing dominance of Spirit Hall, leaving its future uncertain.

• Tang San learned that Soul Masters could take a second Foundation Building Pill, though its effects would be reduced, and compared the world's Meditation Method unfavorably with the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
• Flender founded Shrek Academy outside Suotuo City, recruited Zhao Wuji and other Teachers, and set strict entrance requirements while planning to profit from nonrefundable registration fees.
• Zhao Wuji warned Flender that Spirit Hall's subsidies and the Empires' competing policies had driven applicants away from independent academies.
• Flender and the others recognized that Spirit Hall attracted Soul Masters through its resources and treatment of commoners, while the Empires' nobles alienated those who served them.

Hu Bai and a group of powerful Spirit Hall members set out for the Star Dou Great Forest, where he planned to pursue his divine trial and hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu confronted Heaven Dou’s envoys in Spirit City and admitted Spirit Hall had recruited Skywater City, leaving Prince Xue Xing stunned.

• Prince Xue Xing and the Heaven Dou envoys arrived in Spirit City as Yu Yuanzhen led the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan there.
• Qian Daoliu admitted that Spirit Hall had recruited Skywater City, and Prince Xue Xing froze at his blunt response.

Qian Daoliu rejected Prince Xue Xing’s demands and prepared to use the coming conflict over Skywater City to train Spirit Hall’s troops, appointing Dugu Bo as commander. The chapter leaves off as Yu Yuanzhen arrived in Spirit City to ask whether Spirit Hall would sell its newly refined pills.

• Qian Daoliu told Prince Xue Xing that the Spirit Hall Empire intended to unify the continent and offered the Heaven Dou royal family autonomy over Heaven Dou City if it surrendered.

• Qian Daoliu chose Dugu Bo to command the operation at Skywater City and use his poison to support troops while testing the loyalty of newly joined Soul Masters.
• Dugu Bo agreed to command and said he would have the Medicine Hall prepare more Detoxifying Pills.
• Yu Yuanzhen arrived in Spirit City with members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and asked Qian Daoliu whether Spirit Hall would sell its pills.

Yu Yuanzhen negotiated with Qian Daoliu to exchange a Soul Bone for Spirit Hall’s pills, only to learn that the Bone was worth just one Foundation Building Pill. Qian Daoliu then offered five of each pill in exchange for a copy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Dragonization Secret Method.

• Qian Daoliu suppressed Yu Yuanzhen with his Peerless Douluo pressure until Yu Yuanzhen apologized and explained that he wanted Spirit Hall’s pills.
• Yu Yuanzhen offered a six-thousand-year Lightning Attribute Right Arm Soul Bone for five Foundation Building Pills and five Soul Ascension Pills.

• Qian Daoliu offered five of each pill if Yu Yuanzhen provided Spirit Hall with a copy of the Dragonization Secret Method for research.

Yu Yuanzhen obtained a Foundation Building Pill from Qian Daoliu, then faced pressure from his family elders over whether to use it himself or give it to Yu Xiaogang. Meanwhile, Rong Nianbing agreed to consider passing his inheritance to Hu Bai if Hu Bai defeated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while the Seven Element Gods planned to support Hu Bai’s future rise.

• Qian Daoliu traded Yu Yuanzhen a Foundation Building Pill for a Thousand Year Soul Bone after Yu Yuanzhen refused to exchange the Dragonization Secret Method.
• Qian Daoliu told Golden Crocodile Douluo that he wanted to see whether Yu Yuanzhen would use the pill himself or give it to Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Luomian and the family elders warned Yu Yuanzhen not to give the pill to Yu Xiaogang, and urged him to use it himself or give it to another promising family member.
• Yu Yuanzhen ended the argument and flew back toward his family with the pill still undecided.
• Rong Nianbing told the Seven Element Gods he would pass his inheritance to Hu Bai if Hu Bai defeated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger alone.
• The Seven Element Gods agreed to approach Destruction about their plans to support Hu Bai and his companions, while Rong Nianbing decided to wait for Hu Bai to pass his Third Test.

Hu Bai and Bibi Dong entered the Star Dou Great Forest to find Ah Rou and Xiao Wu and persuade them to sacrifice themselves for Bibi Dong’s divine trial. In the Mixed Zone, Hu Bai expanded and shared his spiritual detection across a three-thousand-meter radius, allowing the group to search more effectively.

• Hu Bai and Bibi Dong proceeded with their plan to locate Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, while Hu Bai considered the benefits of the other powerful Soul Beasts being nearby.
• After several days, Bibi Dong’s group reached the forest’s Mixed Zone and discussed how to search its vast area.
• Hu Bai used his Third Soul Skill and two Soul Bones to extend his spiritual detection range to three thousand meters and share it with the group.
• Bibi Dong, Azure Luan, and Guang Ling reacted with shock and admiration at Hu Bai’s detection ability.

Bibi Dong and her group confronted Ah Rou, who tried to protect Xiao Wu and escape. Ah Rou fought back with her Soul Skills, but Bibi Dong gained the upper hand and prepared to use her Death Spider Emperor True Body.

• Bibi Dong led Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Hu Bai toward Ah Rou and Xiao Wu after discovering their trail.
• Ah Rou tried to teleport Xiao Wu away, but Bibi Dong’s two domains shortened the teleportation range, so Ah Rou hid Xiao Wu in nearby grass and charged Bibi Dong.
• Ah Rou attacked with Waist Bow and Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Fall, while Bibi Dong blocked her attacks and used Spider Web Restraint.
• Ah Rou used Void to evade Bibi Dong’s spider silk, then kicked her into the air with Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Fall.
• Bibi Dong’s purple feathers threatened Xiao Wu, so Ah Rou used Invincible Golden Body to shield her daughter.
• Ah Rou created five clones and attacked with Charm and Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Fall, but Bibi Dong summoned her Death Spider Emperor True Body.

Bibi Dong overwhelmed Ah Rou, who prepared to sacrifice her life to protect Xiao Wu, but Bibi Dong offered her a chance to be revived after becoming a god. Ah Rou questioned whether she could trust Bibi Dong, and Hu Bai appeared to offer a reason to believe her.

• Hu Liena, Azure Luan, Light Feather Douluo, and Hu Bai watched as Bibi Dong countered Ah Rou’s Charm and swiftly destroyed her clones.
• Bibi Dong struck Ah Rou with her sickles, sending her into a tree, while Xiao Wu watched in tears.
• Ah Rou prepared to burn her life force to buy Xiao Wu time to escape, but Bibi Dong proposed a deal that could allow Ah Rou to be revived.
• Bibi Dong revealed her Rakshasa power and explained that she needed Ah Rou’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, promising to revive her after becoming a god if Ah Rou sacrificed her body and soul.
• Ah Rou doubted Bibi Dong’s promise and asked why she should trust a human, so Hu Bai appeared before her and offered a reason to believe him.

Hu Bai persuaded Ah Rou and Xiao Wu to sacrifice themselves in exchange for a chance at future resurrection, while explaining his divine trials and introducing the three Soul Beasts from the Extreme North Land. Da Ming and Er Ming arrived to save them, but mistook the situation and ordered Bibi Dong’s group to leave.

• Hu Bai revealed that he had inherited the legacies of the Eight Element Gods and was a Level 69 Soul Emperor undergoing his third divine trial before age ten.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress explained that they came from the Extreme North Land and urged Ah Rou to consider sacrificing herself and Xiao Wu so they could eventually ascend and gain eternal life.
• Xiao Wu joined Ah Rou, and Ah Rou agreed that she and her daughter could sacrifice themselves but left Da Ming and Er Ming’s decision to them.
• Hu Bai proposed that Ah Rou and Xiao Wu’s souls enter one Soul Bone for his Teacher to absorb, promising that his group would try to revive them after becoming gods.
• Da Ming and Er Ming rushed in to save Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, then misread the scene and warned Bibi Dong’s group to leave.

Ah Rou, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming agreed to sacrifice themselves, and Hu Bai assigned their Soul Rings to Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Shui Bing'er. Da Ming then questioned how they could reach the Upper God Realm if they sacrificed themselves to people without Deity inheritances.

• Bibi Dong and the other Titled Douluo revealed their strength, while Ice Empress used her domain to warn Da Ming and Er Ming not to challenge them.
• Ah Rou explained the situation to Da Ming and Er Ming, and both agreed to sacrifice themselves alongside her and Xiao Wu.
• Hu Bai assigned Ah Rou's Soul Ring to Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu's to Hu Liena, Er Ming's to Xie Yue, and Da Ming's to Shui Bing'er.
• Hu Bai explained that Shui Bing'er needed Da Ming's Soul Ring to advance and that he had other plans for his own Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
• Da Ming asked how they could ascend to the Upper God Realm if they sacrificed themselves to people without Deity inheritances.

Hu Bai arranged for Ah Rou, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming to sacrifice themselves, promising to reinforce their souls and Soul Power within Soul Bones so they could enter the God Realm later. The four sacrifices succeeded, and Bibi Dong, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Shui Bing'er awakened with new Soul Rings, Soul Bones, and greatly increased cultivation.

• Hu Bai reassured Azure Luan that he could bring people to the Upper God Realm and said others might inherit Deities in the future.
• Hu Bai revealed the Fate Wheel Time Weaving Staff and explained that he would use it to seal the soul power from the sacrifices inside Soul Bones.

• The four Soul Bones fused with Bibi Dong, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Shui Bing'er alongside their Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
• Bibi Dong reached rank 98, Xie Yue reached Level 49, Hu Liena reached Level 45, and Shui Bing'er reached the threshold of level forty.

• Xie Yue's Moon Blade evolved into the Void Breaking Moon Blade, and he revealed his Titan Giant Ape skills, including Titan Strength, Titan Void Slash, Titan Sky Breaking, and Gravity Domain.
• Shui Bing'er demonstrated the Sky Azure Bull Python skills Azure Sea Sky Azure Wave and Abyssal Tide Frost Chain, along with her Cold Scale Sky Azure Shield and Abyssal Cold Tide Amplification Soul Bone skills.
• Shui Bing'er shyly thanked Hu Bai for letting her receive the Sky Azure Bull Python's Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• Azure Luan and Guang Ling exchanged worried smiles as they suspected Shui Bing'er had fallen for Hu Bai, who was engaged to Little Xue.
• Hu Liena received the skills Void, Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Fall, Teleportation, and Invincible Golden Body, giving her more ways to survive and fight at close range.

Qing Luan Douluo proposed that the group rest before planning to capture the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while Shui Bing'er revealed she could create wings without a flying Soul Skill. Hu Bai then explained that his divine trial required him to kill the tiger alone, shocking Bibi Dong and the others.

• Qing Luan Douluo suggested the group leave the forest to recover before discussing how to capture the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and he advised Shui Bing'er to delay absorbing her Fourth Soul Ring.
• Light Feather Douluo objected to being called Shui Bing'er's second teacher, but Qing Luan Douluo argued that his own Martial Soul form made him more suitable to teach her.
• Shui Bing'er revealed that she could condense ice-blue wings after her Phoenix Bloodline had been purified, so Qing Luan Douluo recommended that she focus on offensive Soul Skills that strengthened her ice attribute.
• Hu Bai said he expected to reach Level 70 within half a month, and Bibi Dong proposed that the group stay nearby while planning to trap the tiger.
• Hu Bai clarified that his divine trial required him to face and kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger by himself, and Bibi Dong objected that this was not what he had said before.

Hu Bai learned that passing the third trial alone could earn him a spiritual Deity’s inheritance and a chance for those around him to become gods. After reaching level seventy, he entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while Prince Xue Xing reported Spirit Hall’s position to Xue Ye.

• Hu Bai explained the rewards for passing the third trial, and his companions agreed to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sensed the four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts’ sacrifices, fled, and planned to claim the forest as its territory.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion sensed Hu Bai’s powerful Power of Destiny, and Di Tian decided to report the unusual human to his master.
• Hu Bai’s cultivation reached level seventy, and he asked Bibi Dong and the others to wait outside while he searched for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger alone.
• Prince Xue Xing told Xue Ye that Qian Daoliu had firmly opposed an attack on Skywater City, but Xue Ye insisted that Heaven Dou must send troops and asked about the Star Luo Empire’s response.

Xue Ye ordered a 200,000-strong force to suppress the conflict as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan debated who should receive its Foundation Building Pill. Yu Xiaogang grew resentful and began plotting to trade clan secrets for pills, while Yu Luomian took the pill before the elders to demonstrate its effects.

• Xue Ye told Prince Xue Xing that he would send a general and 200,000 elite troops to suppress the conflict.
• Yu Yuanzhen refused Yu Xiaogang's request for a Foundation Building Pill and explained that the clan needed powerful Soul Masters more than another young disciple to develop.
• Yu Xiaogang considered secretly trading parts of the Dragonization Secret Method to Spirit Hall for pills.
• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan chose Yu Luomian as the Foundation Building Pill recipient after discussing the candidates.
• Yu Luomian swallowed the pill at the meeting, and black filth began leaving his body with a foul odor.

Yu Luomian broke through to Level Eighty-Eight after taking the Foundation Building Pill, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders saw hope of reaching the Titled Douluo rank. Yu Xiaogang and Tang San reacted to the breakthrough before the clan began discussing how to obtain more pills from Spirit Hall.

• Yu Luomian broke through to Level Eighty-Eight, then discovered that the pill had left foul-smelling impurities on his body and hurried off to change.
• Yu Xiaogang watched Yu Luomian leave and privately resented him, while Tang San guessed that Yu Xiaogang intended to seek Liu Erlong and returned to cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
• Yu Luomian told Yu Yuanzhen and the elders that the pill had improved his talent and given him hope of becoming a Titled Douluo.
• The Great Elder asked how the clan could obtain more Foundation Building Pills from Spirit Hall and how many Soul Bones remained in the Family Treasury.

Yu Yuanzhen gathered Soul Bones from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to trade for Foundation Building Pills, while Yu Xiaogang secretly headed to Spirit Hall with the Dragonization Secret Method. The Strength Clan weighed its position after three clans joined Spirit Hall, and Liu Erlong wondered whether to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after learning Yu Xiaogang was there.

• Yu Yuanzhen asked the elders to contribute hidden Soul Bones, then offered his own Twenty Thousand Year Right Arm Soul Bone to help secure Foundation Building Pills for the clan.
• The Great Elder and several others produced Soul Bones, and Yu Yuanzhen estimated that the collection could earn more than five pills without trading the Dragonization Secret Method.
• Yu Xiaogang had already left for Spirit Hall to exchange the Dragonization Secret Method for pills, hoping to improve his Innate Soul Power by consuming them.
• Tai Tan learned that the other three clans had joined Spirit Hall and, after discussing Tang Hao's capture with Taino, decided the Strength Clan would wait and watch.
• Liu Erlong learned from Flender that Yu Xiaogang had returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and hesitated over whether she should go back.
