Chapter Summaries

After reaching Level Sixty-Six, Shen Hanyu planned to obtain a powerful second Martial Soul and eventually claim the God-level Soul Bones beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He spent a peaceful evening with Shen Liuyu and the Shui sisters, ending with Shui Yue'er teasing him about a bug he had served in a dish.

Shui Ningbing visited Shen Hanyu’s home with Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er after Shui Bing'er reached Soul Grandmaster and argued with her aunt over whether to pursue the control or assault path. Shen Hanyu supported the assault path but said he would stand by her choice, and the chapter ended with Shui Ningbing asking about his spear Martial Soul.

• Shui Ningbing asked Shen Hanyu whether his exceptionally high-quality Martial Soul was a spear after learning that it surpassed Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix.

Shen Hanyu revealed that he had recently reached Soul Emperor, shocking Shui Ningbing and the others. He then advised Shui Bing'er that her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was better suited to the assault type, leaving her to weigh his advice against her own preference for control.

• Shen Hanyu explained that Phoenix Martial Souls excel at attack and speed, and said the assault type would make better use of the Ice Phoenix's strengths.

Shui Bing'er chose to switch from the control system to the assault system, and Shen Hanyu agreed to take her and Shen Liuyu to hunt Soul Rings. On the journey, he offered Shui Bing'er a way to absorb a Soul Ring beyond the normal age limit, but she asked what he wanted in return.

• Shen Hanyu told Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er that he only wanted them to keep his secret, and the sisters swore upon their Martial Souls not to reveal it.

Shen Hanyu led Shen Liuyu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er deeper into the Frozen Forest to find the Silver Emperor Sky Falcon and search for Soul Beasts. After locating the falcon’s general area, they camped for the night, leaving the investigation for the next day.

• Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu protected Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er as the group pushed through the melting snow, then stopped to rest when Shui Yue'er grew exhausted.
• Shen Hanyu shared dried meat from a Twenty Thousand Years Sword Thorn Cod, and he memorized where he had sensed a thousand-year Snow Void Leopard for Shui Yue'er's future Soul Ring.
• Shen Hanyu used Tian Meng's help to locate the Silver Emperor Sky Falcon about ten kilometers east of the group.
• Shen Hanyu led the group onward before nightfall and arranged for Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Shen Liuyu to share one tent while he took another.
• Shen Hanyu caught two Snow Rabbits and began roasting them over the campfire, seasoning the meat as the others watched hungrily.

Shen Hanyu caught an Ice Marrow Worm near the campsite and identified it as a suitable third Soul Ring for Shen Liuyu. While Shen Liuyu began absorbing it, the group waited and realized Shui Yue'er had not woken up.

• Shen Hanyu suggested the Silver Emperor Sky Falcon had come to nest where food was plentiful and told the others to observe it while he prepared to get them out if necessary.

A rampaging Silver Emperor Sky Falcon trapped Shen Hanyu and the three girls in the Frozen Forest, but Tian Meng discovered it had come to rescue its kidnapped chick from a Blizzard Spider King. Shen Hanyu’s group had not caused the bird’s fury, though the predator and its nest remained nearby.

• A Silver Emperor Sky Falcon’s furious cries and wingbeats overwhelmed Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er, and Shen Liuyu as it circled above them and blocked their way.

• Tian Meng searched the area and found a Thirty Thousand Years Blizzard Spider King’s underground nest beneath the forest.
• Tian Meng revealed that the Blizzard Spider King had kidnapped a Silver Emperor Sky Falcon chick, prompting its mother to track it down.

Shen Hanyu entered the Blizzard Spider King's underground nest while the Silver Emperor Sky Falcon fought it above. He found the injured spider and its captive prey, then acted while Tian Meng left the spider unconscious, ending the chapter as Shen Hanyu dragged the Silver Emperor Sky Falcon away.

He left with Shui Bing’er, Shui Yue’er, and Shen Liuyu after burying the remains, while Tian Meng accepted his view that humans and Soul Beasts were enemies.

• Shen Hanyu absorbed the Silver Emperor Sky Falcon’s life force and broke through to level sixty-eight as Shui Bing’er and the others waited.

He considered options for his Second Martial Soul and continued helping Shen Liuyu grow stronger, while Shui Ningbing came to trust and admire him.

• Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er returned from the Frozen Forest without telling Shui Ningbing what had happened, and they continued visiting Shen Hanyu with Shen Liuyu.

• Shui Ningbing visited Shen Hanyu twice, thanked him for helping Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu hunt Soul Rings, and later relaxed at his home as she judged his character favorably.

Shen Hanyu told Shen Liuyu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er that he would leave Element City to obtain his Seventh Soul Ring and fulfill a promise to a Titled Douluo. As he traveled toward Heaven Dou City, he considered how Ice Attribute divine power might help Tian Meng reach a million years and resolved to seek support from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

Shen Hanyu considered Tian Meng’s plan to absorb the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ energy and remnant souls to create a God-tier Dragon Martial Soul, but chose to wait until they understood the dangers below. He descended into the space beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while Tian Meng prepared to break through into a Million-Year Soul Beast.

• Tian Meng proposed fusing the Dragon Kings’ ice and fire energy into Shen Hanyu’s Martial Soul and absorbing their remnant souls, potentially giving him a God-tier Dragon Martial Soul.

• Tian Meng checked the space, found no immediate danger beyond the Dragon Kings’ dormant remnant souls, and began absorbing energy to pursue his breakthrough.

Tian Meng broke through to become the continent’s first Million-Year Soul Beast and sacrificed itself to become Shen Hanyu’s Seventh Soul Ring. Its immense spiritual power spread across the continent, drawing the attention of major factions as Shen Hanyu continued absorbing it.

• Tian Meng told Shen Hanyu that his condensed head bone, stored in Shen Hanyu’s Soul Tool, contained over seventy percent of his mental origin and could raise his Mental Power to Super Douluo level.

Shen Hanyu absorbed Tian Meng’s million-year spiritual head Soul Bone, but an unknown ice-blue crystal suddenly pierced his forehead and entered his Sea of Consciousness. After awakening, he touched the crystal and received fragments of memories showing a cold woman and a blood-soaked war, leaving its origin and meaning unclear.

• Shen Hanyu absorbed Tian Meng’s Soul Bone, and his Sea of Consciousness began to clear and grow grass.
• An ice-blue diamond-shaped crystal pierced Shen Hanyu’s forehead and entered his Sea of Consciousness, where it froze Tian Meng’s spiritual attack.
