Liu Yanyang and Dugu Bo worked with Ye Wanrou to develop a crude method that drew Dugu Bo’s toxins into his dantian. After the method succeeded, Liu Yanyang began experimenting with refining Soul Rings, but his first attempt injured him and left him considering the cost of pursuing that goal.

Shui Bing’er completed her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul evolution, awakening an intelligent, detached Ice Phoenix, while Ye Lingling began absorbing the Aromatic Silk Beauty. Ye Lingling’s Nine Petal Begonia then triggered a massive heavenly phenomenon that drew the attention of powerful figures across the mainland, and the chapter left the reaction in the God Realm unrevealed.

• Shui Bing’er’s Martial Soul evolved into a nearly pure-white Ice Phoenix, and Dugu Bo sealed off the nearby sky to keep people away.

• Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu, and Bibi Dong sensed the phenomenon and reacted to the possibility that someone had gained a god’s favor.

The God of Healing chose Ye Lingling as her inheritor after her Nine Petal Begonia evolved, while the Life God King identified possible divine inheritances for several others. Back at Dugu Bo's residence, Ye Lingling revealed her new Sacred Heart Begonia and the group planned to strengthen their forces before the Soul Master Competition.

• The God of Healing recognized Ye Lingling's evolved Nine Petal Begonia as the sign of her inheritor and sent divine power to it.

He later revealed that he could transform fully into a dragon and disguised himself as the merchant A Fei, preparing to face the visitors expected at Dugu Bo's manor.

• Yang Wudi and Shui Xinrou decided to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well until they reached Titled Douluo, while Liu Yanyang swallowed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
• Liu Yanyang's Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix combined into the Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry Martial Soul Fusion Skill, creating a massive image over Heaven Dou City.
• Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Snake Lance Douluo She Long noticed the anomaly, and Gu Rong and She Long fled after the fusion figure pointed its spear at them.
• The fusion ended with Liu Yanyang exhausted and Shui Bing'er unconscious; Liu Yanyang explained that the skill could likely kill an ordinary Titled Douluo but could not yet be sustained for a second.
• Liu Yanyang transformed into a dragonman, put on a robe and spiral monocle mask, and introduced himself to Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, and Shui Xinrou as the merchant A Fei.

Liu Yanyang planned to use his merchant persona, A Fei, to draw attention away from his allies and announced his intention to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The Goddess of Life chose her as a successor and proposed Liu Yanyang as the God of Destruction's candidate, while Liu Yanyang fled with Shui Bing'er sealed inside a phoenix-marked egg.

• Xue Xing demanded that Yu Xiaogang kneel and apologize and that Xue Beng slap Dai Mubai; when Yu Xiaogang refused, soldiers drew swords, and he quickly begged for mercy.
• Xue Xing spared Yu Xiaogang, then Xue Beng approached Dai Mubai, who stayed still at Flender’s signal as Dugu Bo prevented anyone from interfering.

After waking, she named her new Martial Soul the Six Headed Fierce Yang Dragon, with Liu Yanyang’s help, and the group prepared to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Dugu Bo encouraged Dugu Yan to absorb the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core, and she endured its violent energy as it circulated through her body.
