Chapter Summaries

Wang Qi defeated Tang San’s strongest Clear Sky Hammer strike with a fireball that pierced its phantom and left Tang San gravely weakened. Sword Douluo Chen Xin recognized a similarity between Wang Qi’s flame technique and his father’s sword strike, but Wang Qi had disappeared before Chen Xin could approach him.

• Wang Qi gathered the arena’s flames into a golden sphere, then shaped the fire into a bracer while Tang San tested him with the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang San combined the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer’s eighty-one strikes with his third soul skill and exploded two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings to unleash a massive Clear Sky Hammer phantom.
• Wang Qi hurled a small fireball that burned through the hammer phantom, causing Tang San’s aura to collapse and leaving him unable to control his Soul Power.
• Chen Xin asked Ning Fengzhi whether Wang Qi’s bracer had brightened or the sky had dimmed, then said Wang Qi’s technique reminded him of his father’s sword strike.
• Ning Fengzhi stopped Chen Xin from approaching Wang Qi, and when they looked back, Wang Qi had disappeared while Tang San received treatment.

After defeating Tang San, Wang Qi broke through to the Spiritual Domain Realm and received the Fire God’s inheritance, including a first-grade God-Bestowed Soul Ring. He stored the ring for later use and planned to test the Divine Altar while preparing for his Body Martial Soul’s Second Awakening.

• Wang Qi discovered the Fire God Mark and received the Fire God First Trial, which required his Seventh Soul Ring to reach at least one hundred thousand years within a year.
• The Fire God bestowed a first-grade God-Bestowed Soul Ring, and the Fire God Heart explained its quality and the differences between divine ranks and Divine Seats.
• Wang Qi learned that the Fire God had tailored the early trials as a gesture of goodwill because Wang Qi’s talent made his future godhood likely.
• Wang Qi stored the God-Bestowed Soul Ring in his Soul Tool and summoned the Divine Altar to his cultivation room.
• Wang Qi planned to use the Divine Altar to strengthen his Demon Refining Furnace Martial Soul and meet the remaining requirements for his Body Martial Soul’s Second Awakening.

As the Soul Master Competition reached its final preliminaries match, Wang Qi spent the month studying Soul Skill circuits and attempted to remake the first Soul Ring of his Medicine Refining Furnace Martial Soul to focus solely on increasing Bloodline Power. The Divine Altar’s transformation drained him dangerously, and the Fire God Heart intervened to keep him alive.

• The Heaven Dou Empire’s war with the Star Luo Empire stopped after the Star Luo Empire returned half a provincial territory, while rumors increasingly called for Spirit Hall to establish a nation and end wars.
• The Blue Tyrant Academy Team and the Five Elements Academy Team each reached twenty-five consecutive victories, setting up a highly anticipated final preliminaries match.
• Wang Qi brought teammates into a secret chamber to observe their Soul Rings, while Dugu Yan initially misunderstood his intentions before learning what he was doing.
• Wang Qi studied Soul Skill circuits for a month and identified patterns that could increase Bloodline Power, then began remaking his first Soul Ring with the Divine Altar.
• The Divine Altar consumed Wang Qi’s Soul Power and Spiritual Power at a dangerous rate, so the Fire God Heart placed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring against his forehead and used its own power to save him.

Wang Qi reconstructed his Medicine Refining Furnace soul skill into the nearly 100,000-year Pure Blood Great Medicine, then recovered while considering its benefits. He missed the Heaven Dou Division final preliminaries match, where the Five Elements Academy Team faced the Blue Tyrant Academy Team and Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu both claimed Tang San as their opponent.

• Wang Qi detonated eight soul rings to supply Soul Power while reconstructing his bloodline soul skill, and the Fire God Heart did not help him.
• After recovering enough to continue, Wang Qi absorbed the reconstructed soul ring and gained the 98,900-year Pure Blood Great Medicine soul skill.
• Wang Qi examined the new skill's ability to provide Bloodline Power and judged the costly reconstruction worth it.
• Wang Qi became engrossed in studying the Pure Blood Great Medicine and lost track of the Heaven Dou Division final preliminaries match.
• At the match between the Five Elements Academy Team and the Blue Tyrant Academy Team, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu both challenged Tang San, while Jin Lang watched with interest.

Blue Tyrant Academy’s carefully prepared plan against Five Elements Academy unraveled when Shui Bing’er froze Tian Xin and Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianxin stopped Jin Lang, and the Huyan brothers overwhelmed Tailong. Tang San was left facing the opposing team’s remaining Soul Kings as Huo Wu began a powerful technique, Fire Dance Blazing Sun.

• Oscar produced sausages for Blue Tyrant Academy’s fighters, then left the arena while Tang San and Ning Rongrong used Flying Mushroom Sausages to take flight.
• Tang San’s team followed a plan to eliminate Shui Bing’er, restrain Huo Wushuang, and have Tang San defeat Feng Xiaotian while Jin Lang handled multiple opponents.
• Shui Bing’er froze Tian Xin and Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianxin engaged Jin Lang, and the Huyan brothers beat Tailong, disrupting Blue Tyrant Academy’s plan.
• Ning Rongrong struggled to maintain her support while Tang San and Ning Rongrong remained airborne, and Tang San realized his side was losing control of the match.
• Huo Wushuang surrounded himself with flames as Huo Wu merged her five Soul Rings into a black ring and formed a massive fireball, declaring Fire Dance Blazing Sun.

Tang San struggled with the inner demon caused by Wang Qi’s overwhelming strength while Huo Wu prepared a devastating attack in the Soul Master Competition. As the battle neared its conclusion, the Asura God’s interference drew a warning from the Destruction God King, and Ning Fengzhi tried to use Wang Qi’s reputation to bring Rong Rong closer to him.

• Tang San recalled Wang Qi’s crushing victory and feared that Wang Qi’s Supreme Dominance and Twin Martial Souls left him no path to catch up.
• The Asura God influenced Tang Xiao and withdrew from the Douluo Plane, while the Destruction God King warned him not to interfere in mortal affairs again.
• Tang San regained some clarity as Huo Wu gathered Fire Dance Blazing Sun, and Feng Xiaotian used Oscar’s Recovery Great Sausages to aid the fighters.
• Salas claimed Huo Wu’s attack could defeat Wang Qi, but Ning Fengzhi argued that Wang Qi’s flames would counter her fire-based ability.
• Xue Qinghe mentioned that Rong Rong had studied alongside Wang Qi, prompting Ning Fengzhi to hint that she was lovesick; Xue Qinghe offered to send imperial chefs instead.

Huo Wu’s Fire Dance Blazing Sun forced Tang San to concede, giving the Five Elements Academy Team the match after Bone Douluo safely removed the attack. Later, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, and Qian Renxue discussed Wang Qi’s ongoing seclusion and the Soul Master Competition, while Qian Renxue declined to compete.

• Tang San recovered from his doubts about Wang Qi but realized he could not withstand Huo Wu’s enormous Fire Dance Blazing Sun without risking his Clear Sky Hammer soul rings.

• Meng Shenji left Wang Qi at Spirit City’s gates and urged him to bring the academy at least second place in the competition.
• Qian Renxue and Guang Ling Douluo watched Wang Qi arrive, and Guang Ling Douluo called him up to the city wall after noticing he could fly using Spiritual Power.

Wang Qi returned from seclusion just before Heaven Dou Royal Academy faced Five Elements Academy, relieving Dugu Yan and helping set the team’s lineup. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang prepared a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill for Blue Tyrant Academy and hoped to use Tang San’s strength to contend for the championship.

• Dugu Yan assessed Five Elements Academy’s two Soul Kings and tough Huyan brothers, then planned to use Zhu Zhuqing’s new Hell White Tiger Transformation to help secure a win.
• Dugu Yan chose a lineup that included Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng, and the Shi Mo brothers, while Osler and Yu Feng accepted the risk of drawing fire for Zhuqing.

• Qian Renxue returned to the Worship Hall, where Guang Ling Douluo reported that Wang Qi's Spiritual Power matched Azure Luan Douluo's level.

• Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian joined forces with Huyan Li, transforming his Diamond Mammoth Elephant into a crimson, blue-gray, crystal-like form.
• Wang Qi recognized that the Five Elements Academy Team had devised a fusion attack to counter him and challenged their belief that it could defeat him.

Wang Qi overwhelmed Five Elements Academy with his strength and fire control, leaving Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian ready to surrender after the ongoing duel. Qian Gu Yifeng and Yang Chan watched from the stands, and Qian Gu Yifeng believed he still had a chance to defeat Wang Qi.

After the Five Elements Academy conceded, Wang Qi discussed cultivation and Qian Renxue with Qian Daoliu while keeping his Body Martial Soul Second Awakening secret. Elsewhere, Yu Xiaogang struggled to perfect a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill and realized he could not obtain Canghui Academy’s manuscripts, leaving Tang San without the ambush that would have brought them.
