Chapter Summaries

Zhu Zhuqing defeated a Man Faced Demon Spider by exploiting its weakness and tearing through its defenses. After the beast fell near death, Bai Lu took control of Zhu Zhuqing’s body to handle the External Soul Bone.

• Zhu Zhuqing used her soul skills and soul bones to break through the Man Faced Demon Spider’s attacks and expose its vulnerable abdomen.
• Zhu Zhuqing tore apart the spider’s abdomen and back, while the wounded Man Faced Demon Spider tried to trap her in a Poison Web and flee.
• Zhu Zhuqing pursued the fleeing beast and struck it with Red Flame Burst, leaving it at death’s door.
• Bai Lu took control of Zhu Zhuqing’s body, saying he would handle the External Soul Bone, and began striking the Man Faced Demon Spider with precise claws.

Bai Lu prepared the Man Faced Demon Spider’s Soul Ring to maximize its chance of yielding a Soul Bone, then Zhu Zhuqing absorbed it and gained the Eight Spider Lances. The transformation left her clothes destroyed, and Bai Lu covered her with a cloak and gave her pants.

• Bai Lu used the Slaughter Skull to intensify the Man Faced Demon Spider’s hatred before killing it and sealing its resentful soul into its Soul Ring.
• Bai Lu returned control to Zhu Zhuqing, warned her about the Soul Ring’s energy and Spiritual Shock, and began recovering while guarding her.
• Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the purple Soul Ring and endured its violent energy and leaking Spiritual Shock.
• Eight Spider Lances emerged from Zhu Zhuqing’s back, and a dark cocoon completed her transformation.
• Zhu Zhuqing discovered that her clothes had been destroyed, while Bai Lu draped a cloak over her and handed her pants.

Bai Lu helped Zhu Zhuqing learn to control her newly acquired Eight Spider Lances and explained their inherited abilities. Zhu Zhuqing tested the lances, discovered their poison and devouring power, and learned she had reached Soul Power level 39 and gained the Third Soul Skill Hell Pierce.

• Zhu Zhuqing struggled to dress with the Eight Spider Lances extending from her back, and Bai Lu explained that she needed practice to control the External Soul Bone.
• Zhu Zhuqing gradually learned to move the Eight Spider Lances, retracting and extending them with increasing ease.
• Bai Lu explained that the Eight Spider Lances inherited the Man Faced Demon Spider's devouring, sharpness, and venom abilities, then Zhu Zhuqing tested them on a tree and absorbed energy through the lances.
• Zhu Zhuqing measured her Soul Power at level 39.
• Zhu Zhuqing described Hell Pierce, which used Hell Power for a piercing attack with armor penetration and additional True Damage, and Bai Lu approved of the skill.

Zhu Zhuqing tested how the Eight Spider Lances amplified her Soul Skills and discovered Xiao Wu meditating under the protection of the Titan Giant Ape. After learning Xiao Wu was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, Zhu Zhuqing agreed to kill her and suggested doing it immediately.

• Zhu Zhuqing used Hell Pierce through the Eight Spider Lances to pierce a giant stone and realized the attack was far stronger than her normal strikes.
• Zhu Zhuqing left the battlefield to test her new strength and sensed a powerful aura in the Star Dou Forest.
• Zhu Zhuqing found the Titan Giant Ape guarding Xiao Wu, who was condensing a purple Soul Ring without hunting a Soul Beast.
• Bai Lu told Zhu Zhuqing that Xiao Wu was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit and admitted he had recognized her as nonhuman in Notting City.
• Zhu Zhuqing said she would kill Xiao Wu and suggested they do it later.

Bai Lu stopped Zhu Zhuqing from killing Xiao Wu so they could preserve the chance to gain her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring later. Zhu Zhuqing then entered the forest to test her powers and encountered a pack of Thousand Year Gale Wind Demon Wolves.

• Zhu Zhuqing proposed killing Xiao Wu for her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but Bai Lu argued that her Soul Ring was more valuable and they should wait for a safer opportunity.
• Xiao Wu completed her Soul Ring, left the Titan Giant Ape, and reunited with Tang San and the Shrek Group while Zhu Zhuqing watched without attacking.
• Bai Lu sent Zhu Zhuqing deeper into the forest to practice and hunt Man Faced Demon Spiders, hoping to evolve her Eight Spider Lances.
• A pack of Thousand Year Gale Wind Demon Wolves surrounded Zhu Zhuqing, led by a Two Thousand Year Wolf King.
• Zhu Zhuqing blocked the pack's Gale Blades with Hell Hundred Claws, then impaled and devoured a Gale Wind Demon Wolf, replenishing the Soul Power she had spent.

Zhu Zhuqing used the White Tiger Slaughter Array to trap a Gale Wolf Pack and killed its king, discovering that her Eight Spider Lances could absorb a small amount of permanent Soul Power. After the array strained her Spiritual Power, Bai Lu taught her the White Tiger Slaughter Secret and urged her to develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill she could use alone.

• Zhu Zhuqing unleashed the White Tiger Slaughter Array, summoning dead souls that surrounded and overwhelmed the fleeing Gale Wolf Pack.
• Zhu Zhuqing defeated the Gale Wind Wolf King with her Eight Spider Lances, and the Wolf King became a dead soul after it died.
• Zhu Zhuqing devoured the fallen wolves and confirmed that the Eight Spider Lances granted her a tiny amount of permanent Soul Power.
• Zhu Zhuqing's Spiritual Power faltered and the Slaughter Array shattered, so Bai Lu explained its strain and gave her the White Tiger Slaughter Secret.
• Bai Lu told Zhu Zhuqing to develop her Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, [Hell White Tiger], leaving her astonished that she might use a fusion skill alone.

Zhu Zhuqing learned to perform the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill by combining with Bai Lu’s White Tiger Avatar. After testing its immense power, she ran out of Soul Power, while Bai Lu considered her wish for a way to restore it.

• Bai Lu explained the requirements for Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and Zhu Zhuqing realized she could practice by fusing with her White Tiger Avatar.
• Bai Lu transformed his avatar into a youth, and he and Zhu Zhuqing synchronized their Soul Power to create the Hell White Tiger.
• Zhu Zhuqing took control of the Hell White Tiger and tested its strength and combined Martial Soul abilities, including Hell Hundred Claws and Hell Pierce.
• The Hell White Tiger dissipated when Zhu Zhuqing ran out of Soul Power, leaving her exhausted but thrilled by its power.
• Zhu Zhuqing lamented that she could not sustain the fusion and wished for a Soul Skill that restored Soul Power, prompting Bai Lu to consider how she might obtain one.

Zhu Zhuqing challenged a Ten-Thousand Year Great Strength Vajra Bear to test her growing abilities and finally mastered the Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, to defeat it. After the bear died and its Ten-Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared, Bai Lu noticed something inside its body.

• Zhu Zhuqing sought out a Ten-Thousand Year Great Strength Vajra Bear to pressure herself and deepen her control of the Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Zhu Zhuqing attacked the bear with her enhanced forms and Eight Spider Lances, but its gravity control, defenses, and soul skills forced her into a fierce struggle.
• The bear's attacks wounded Zhu Zhuqing, but she realized she could activate Hell White Tiger alone and successfully performed the Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger pierced the poisoned bear with its Eight Spider Lances, slammed it into the ground, and killed it.
• A black Ten-Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared above the bear's corpse, and Bai Lu noticed something inside its body.

Zhu Zhuqing found and absorbed a strength-type External Soul Bone from the bear’s paw, then left the Star Dou Great Forest for Suotuo City. The next morning, she encountered Dai Mubai at the Rose Hotel and walked away without speaking to him.

• Zhu Zhuqing searched the bear’s corpse and found a golden-brown Palm Bone in its paw.
• Bai Lu identified the Palm Bone as an External Soul Bone, and Zhu Zhuqing absorbed it with help from the Blue Silver Emperor Left Leg Bone.

• Bai Lu persuaded Zhu Zhuqing that she could seize the Star Luo Empire, conquer Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou Empire, and unify the continent.
• Zhu Zhuqing ordered clothes, registered at the Great Soul Arena as Xiao Yue, and began cultivating her Spiritual Power by battling Dead Souls in the Slaughter Space.
• Flanders and Yu Xiaogang brought the Shrek Group to the arena before Yu Xiaogang announced that Devil Training would begin the next day.
• Tang San noticed Zhu Zhuqing’s Killing Intent but mistook her familiar figure for someone else, and Xiao Wu pulled him toward his Soul Duel.
• The arena paired Zhu Zhuqing, competing for the first time, against Tang San, who had recently advanced to Soul Elder and expected an easy victory.

Zhu Zhuqing, disguised as Xiao Yue, faced Tang San in her first Soul Duel and overwhelmed him with her level 39 strength. Bai Lu urged her to prolong the fight so he could study Tang San’s unusual techniques, including Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San recognized each other as they entered the Soul Arena, and Tang San was stunned when she claimed to be a level 39 Soul Elder.
• Tang San opened with Blue Silver Grass Entanglement, but Zhu Zhuqing swiftly evaded and charged at him.
• Tang San used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to divert Zhu Zhuqing’s punch, then tried to trap her with Blue Silver Grass and Spider Web Bind.
• Zhu Zhuqing dodged Tang San’s follow-up and shredded his spider web with her claws, leaving him unable to restrain her.
• Bai Lu told Zhu Zhuqing to keep fighting and push Tang San to reveal more of his self-created techniques so Bai Lu could study them.

Zhu Zhuqing, competing as Xiao Yue, overwhelmed Tang San with her speed and claws and defeated him without using her third Soul Ring. Tang San was left shaken by his complete loss as Zhu Zhuqing walked away.

• Bai Lu told Zhu Zhuqing that he could study Tang San’s techniques and footwork through recordings in the Mental Space, and Zhu Zhuqing resolved to learn them.
• Tang San unleashed Blue Silver Grass and Spider Web Bind, but Zhu Zhuqing tore through both with Hell Hundred Claws and pressed her attack.

• Tang San stood stunned by his defeat while Zhu Zhuqing released her Martial Soul Possession and left without a word.

• Bai Lu said he had recorded Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track but needed time to understand them, and prioritized learning to change Soul Ring colors.

Zhu Zhuqing failed to teach herself Bai Lu’s two Self-Created Soul Skills and asked him to copy them for her. Unable to enter another ordinary Soul Duel that day, she teamed up with Ning Rongrong as Gemstone Cat and learned that Ning Rongrong was curious about her level 39 strength.

• Zhu Zhuqing studied [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track] and [Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon], but failed to perform either technique and asked Bai Lu to handle copying them.

• Zhu Zhuqing cut Dai Mubai’s attack in half, rushed up to him, and broke through his White Tiger Bodyguard with a punch.
• Dai Mubai crashed onto the stage, bleeding and unable to hold Oscar’s Recovery Big Sausage.

After the Gemstone Cat Combination won, she reunited with Ning Rongrong and joked that she could not go back to smaller boosts after experiencing Bai Lu's powerful enhancements.

• Oscar gave Dai Mubai a Recovery Big Sausage, but Zhu Zhuqing kicked Oscar off the stage and left Dai Mubai to face her alone.

Zhu Zhuqing considered Ning Rongrong’s invitation to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but remained undecided, then asked Tang San to teach her his techniques and was refused. After reaching her daily match limit at the Great Soul Arena, she changed her disguise and tried to register again under the name Xiao Lan.

• Zhu Zhuqing changed her mask, returned to the Great Soul Arena, and tried to register as Xiao Lan.

Zhu Zhuqing bought high-age Whale Rubber at Seven Treasure Pavilion after Bai Lu explained that she could use it for body refining. Ning Fengzhi learned that a woman had used Ning Rongrong’s token to purchase the Whale Rubber and wrongly feared for his daughter, while Ning Rongrong remained out at the night market with Xiao Wu.

• Zhu Zhuqing abandoned her plan to change identities when the Great Soul Arena asked for her Soul Master handbook.
• Bai Lu told Zhu Zhuqing to look for Whale Rubber and explained that it could strengthen her body for a high-age Fourth Soul Ring.

• Bai Lu told Zhu Zhuqing to soften whale rubber with her Blazing Right Arm Bone and eat it directly.
• Zhu Zhuqing ate several pieces, strengthening her body and sending much of the energy into her Great Strength Diamond Palm.
• Zhu Zhuqing continued eating despite Bai Lu's warning, then ate the final piece of thousand-year whale rubber as her palm bone began to transform.
• Zhu Zhuqing's Great Strength Diamond Palm evolved, giving her a powerful bear paw that became a stronger cat paw when she activated her Spirit Cat Possession.
• Zhu Zhuqing became overheated and lost control, so Bai Lu took her to the bathroom to cool her down; she fell asleep, and he wrapped her up and put her back on the bed.

After a confusing morning with Bai Lu, Zhu Zhuqing learned that her Great Strength Diamond Palm had grown stronger and agreed to travel with him to Heaven Dou City in search of rare resources and Immortal Herbs. She left Suotuo City alone after collecting her custom clothes, while Bai Lu returned to the Spiritual World.

• Zhu Zhuqing woke up in Bai Lu’s arms, learned that he had transformed into her the previous night, and hurriedly dressed herself.
