Chapter Summaries

After gaining a 14,000-year Third Soul Ring and reaching Soul Power Level 35, Taichu returned to Dugu Manor with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. There, he revealed his new skill, Amenotejikara, which let him swap places with Dugu Bo, and said the Soul Bone he had obtained was better suited to his grandfather.

• Taichu gained a 14,000-year Third Soul Ring, raised his Soul Power Level to 35, and left the Star Dou Forest with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
• Dugu Bo brought them back to Heaven Dou City to avoid provoking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Taichu reasoned that Ning Fengzhi was more likely to invest in him than attack him.
• Taichu offered Dugu Bo the Soul Bone he had obtained, explaining that he probably could not use it himself.
• Taichu demonstrated his Third Soul Skill, Amenotejikara, and instantly switched places with Dugu Bo.
• Taichu explained that Amenotejikara could swap him with any target within his field of vision, even a Title Douluo.

Taichu explained that his Third Soul Skill let him swap places with a target in sight, though using it on a Titled Douluo nearly drained his Soul Power. He declined the Void Ancient Snake’s fourteen-thousand-year Soul Bone, confident he could hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts for a full set once he became a Titled Douluo.

• Taichu explained that his Third Soul Skill was Amenotejikara, which swapped his position with a target in sight and consumed more Soul Power against stronger opponents.
• Taichu realized that Soul Ring Dojutsu could include Six-Tomoe Rinnegan abilities as well as Mangekyō Sharingan abilities.
• Dugu Bo guessed that Taichu worried the Soul Bone’s skill might duplicate his existing Soul Skill.
• Taichu said the Soul Bone was too young and that he was not in a hurry to gain the Soul Power it could provide.
• Dugu Bo warned Taichu that Soul Bones were rare, but Taichu said he would hunt several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and complete a full set after becoming a Titled Douluo.

Taichu gave Dugu Bo a Ten Thousand Year Void Right Leg Bone, then went shopping around Heaven Dou City with Dugu Yan, who gave him a Gold Card worth one million Gold Soul Coins. Their outing was interrupted when Yu Tianheng confronted Dugu Yan and demanded to know who Taichu was.

• Taichu asked Dugu Bo to absorb the Void Right Leg Bone and said he had something to ask him.
• Dugu Yan showed Taichu around Dugu Manor and invited him to explore Heaven Dou City instead of cultivating.
• Dugu Yan took Taichu shopping, bought him several outfits, and handed him a Gold Card worth one million Gold Soul Coins.
• Taichu accepted the Gold Card and eagerly continued shopping with Dugu Yan.
• Yu Tianheng encountered them, and Dugu Yan angrily told him not to call her Yanyan.
• Yu Tianheng decided he wanted to win Dugu Yan over, then demanded to know who Taichu was.

Taichu defended Dugu Yan when Yu Tianheng challenged him, rejecting Yu Tianheng’s claim over her and refusing to be provoked into a fight. Dugu Yan revealed that she had reached level 48, leaving Yu Tianheng stunned as Taichu remained behind her protection.

• Dugu Yan angrily rejected Yu Tianheng’s interference, recalling how his persistent advances had driven her away over the past two years.
• Yu Tianheng challenged Taichu to a one-on-one fight, and Taichu stepped forward after stopping Dugu Yan from summoning her Martial Soul.
• Taichu told Yu Tianheng that Dugu Yan could choose for herself, while Yu Tianheng declared that the loser would leave Yanyan alone.
• Yu Tianheng released his level 33 Soul Power, and Dugu Yan warned Taichu that Dragon Transformation consumed some of Yu Tianheng’s cultivated energy.
• Dugu Yan summoned her Nine-Colored Heaven Serpent and revealed her level 48 Soul Ancestor cultivation, shocking Yu Tianheng.
• Yu Tianheng tried to provoke Taichu into fighting, but Taichu refused and told him to leave.

Taichu and Dugu Yan drove Yu Tianheng away, then returned home to find Dugu Bo had successfully absorbed the Void Right Leg Bone and was nearing level 94. Taichu told Dugu Bo about Tang San, a Blue Silver Grass user with Innate Full Soul Power, and revealed his suspicion that Tang San's father was Tang Hao.

• Yu Tianheng confronted Taichu, but Dugu Yan defended Taichu and ordered Yu Tianheng to leave.
• Yu Tianheng backed down and left after threatening Taichu.
• Dugu Yan and Taichu shopped before returning to the residence, where Dugu Bo had finished absorbing the Void Right Leg Bone.
• Dugu Bo said the Soul Bone had helped him advance and that he expected to reach level 94 within two years.
• Taichu asked Dugu Bo about Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power, then identified Tang San and suspected his father was Tang Hao.

Taichu convinced Dugu Bo that Tang San was Tang Hao’s son and revealed his theory about the hundred thousand year soul bone left behind by Tang Hao’s transformed wife. He asked Dugu Bo to distract Tang Hao so he could retrieve the hidden Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

• Taichu claimed Tang San’s father, Tang Hao, was Clear Sky Douluo and suggested Tang San had twin martial souls.
• Dugu Bo suspected Taichu wanted him to kill Tang San or Tang Hao, but Taichu denied both possibilities.
• Taichu reasoned that Tang Hao’s wife had sacrificed herself after giving birth to Tang San and that her hundred thousand year soul bone had not gone to Tang Hao.
• Dugu Bo warned that Tang Hao might have already given away the soul bone and would be dangerous to confront.
• Taichu said the soul bone was hidden, then asked Dugu Bo to draw Tang Hao’s attention while he retrieved it.

Taichu arranged for Dugu Bo to pass Nuoding Academy to provoke Tang Hao into revealing himself, hoping to secure the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone sooner. Dugu Bo reached Nuoding City and drew Tang Hao out, who confronted him and demanded that he leave.

• Taichu explained that Tang Hao was likely secretly protecting Tang San and proposed that Dugu Bo pass Nuoding Academy to make him act.
• Dugu Bo and Taichu left Dugu Manor, leaving Dugu Yan behind because she would endanger their plan.
• Taichu relied on Amenotejikara to escape if Tang Hao attacked, noting that carrying Dugu Yan would sharply limit its uses.
• Dugu Bo entered Nuoding City and followed the agreed route past Nuoding Academy, lingering there as Taichu had instructed.
• Tang Hao appeared before Dugu Bo in disguise and ordered him to leave immediately.

Tang Hao confronted Dugu Bo in Nuoding City and demanded that he leave, but Dugu Bo refused and revealed his transformed Jade Phosphorous Rock Flood Dragon Emperor Martial Soul. They avoided a fight after Tang Hao considered his hidden injury, and Dugu Bo went to visit Su Yuntao.

• Tang Hao appeared before Dugu Bo and ordered him to leave Nuoding City, revealing his hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring.
• Dugu Bo released his Soul Power and challenged Tang Hao, then possessed him with the Jade Phosphorous Rock Flood Dragon Emperor.
• Tang Hao questioned how Dugu Bo's Martial Soul had changed and warned that Nuoding City did not welcome Title Douluo.
• Dugu Bo said he had come only to pick someone up and would leave afterward, following the plan he had discussed with Taichu.
• Tang Hao restrained his aura and vanished, while Dugu Bo left the alley and visited Su Yuntao at home.

Taichu used Dugu Bo to distract Tang Hao, then found and took the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and transplanted the Blue Silver Emperor to use as a hostage. After a week of travel, he reached Heaven Dou City and ran into Yu Tianheng, who challenged him.

• Dugu Bo's display of Titled Douluo-level Soul Power signaled Taichu that Tang Hao had taken the bait and was occupied in Nuoding City.
• Taichu searched near Holy Soul Village, found the Blue Silver Emperor's cave, and took the Black Long Box containing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Taichu transplanted the Blue Silver Emperor into a bowl and carried her away toward Heaven Dou City.
• After a week on the road, Taichu reached Heaven Dou City and encountered Yu Tianheng, who activated his Martial Soul and threatened to break Taichu's limbs.

Taichu fought Yu Tianheng, who challenged him after learning he was living with Dugu Yan. Taichu defeated Yu Tianheng with his Lightning Style without revealing his Martial Soul, and Yu Tianheng collapsed with a bleeding wound.

• Yu Tianheng demanded that Taichu summon his Martial Soul, and Taichu revealed his level-35 Soul Power.
• Taichu said he needed to return home for dinner with Sister Yan, enraging Yu Tianheng.
• Yu Tianheng attacked with his Thunder Dragon Claw, and Taichu countered with Lightning Style—Thunder Dragon.
• Yu Tianheng unleashed Thunderous Might against Taichu, who fought back with Chidori Current and Armor of the Thunder God.
• Taichu used Lightning Body Flicker and Chidori to wound Yu Tianheng, who fell to the ground.

Taichu defeated Yu Tianheng, then faced his guardian Yu Tianjin, who threatened to take him back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Taichu invoked his connection to Dugu Bo to deter him, and Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong arrived to settle the dispute; the chapter ended with Taichu greeting them.

• Yu Tianjin confronted Taichu after Yu Tianheng was injured and pressured him with his Soul King strength.
• Taichu refused to back down and warned Yu Tianjin that harming him could provoke Dugu Bo and start a war between Titled Douluo.
• Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong arrived and asked both sides to end the matter for Ning Fengzhi's sake.
• Yu Tianjin accepted Ning Fengzhi's intervention and left with Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianyin to seek treatment.
• Taichu greeted Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong after the others departed.

Taichu met Ning Fengzhi, who showed interest in his ten-thousand-year Third Soul Ring but chose not to pressure him because of his connection to Dugu Bo. Ning Fengzhi regretted that Dugu Bo had already made Taichu his grandson-in-law, while Gu Rong urged him to seize the chance to interrogate Taichu.

• Ning Fengzhi greeted Taichu warmly and invited him to rest at a hotel, but Taichu declined because Sister Yan was waiting at home and he had promised to wait for Dugu Bo.
• Ning Fengzhi let Taichu leave, and Gu Rong suggested they capture him while Dugu Bo was away from Heaven Dou City.
• Ning Fengzhi refused, reasoning that they might not learn the secret of Taichu's ten-thousand-year Third Soul Ring and would make an enemy of Dugu Bo.
• Ning Fengzhi recalled investigating Taichu and learning that his Uncle Su Yuntao had left Spirit Hall after the Angel Hunting Squad broke his leg.
• Ning Fengzhi regretted that Dugu Bo had already made Taichu his grandson-in-law, foiling his plan to marry Taichu to his daughter and obtain his Soul Ring method for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Taichu returned to Dugu Manor and met Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan’s best friend, whom he hoped to recruit for the Advanced Soul Master Academy he planned to establish. Ye Lingling was startled by Taichu’s age and his engagement to Dugu Yan, but said she could not decide to leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy so easily because her family relied on the Heaven Dou Empire for protection.

• Taichu returned to Dugu Manor, relieved that its protection would make him difficult to target over his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Dugu Yan greeted Taichu and introduced him to her best friend, Ye Lingling.
• Dugu Yan told Ye Lingling that Taichu was her fiancee and that she planned to leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy for his new academy.
• Ye Lingling was shocked to learn that Taichu was only nine years old and planned to open an Advanced Soul Master Academy.
• Ye Lingling declined to commit to transferring, explaining that the Ye Family depended on the Heaven Dou Empire for protection.

Taichu welcomed Dugu Bo, Su Yuntao, Sisi, and Ma Ding to Dugu Manor, where he agreed to guide Ma Ding’s cultivation after learning the boy had awakened an iron staff Martial Soul with rank-three Innate Soul Power. He planned to give Ma Ding the Immortal Herb he had prepared for Ma Xiunuo, while Ye Lingling’s possible transfer to Taichu’s academy remained unresolved.

• Dugu Yan offered to have Dugu Bo persuade Xue Ye to let Ye Lingling transfer, but Taichu stopped her when Ye Lingling hesitated.
• A week later, Dugu Bo returned with Su Yuntao, Sisi, and six-year-old Ma Ding, while Ma Xiunuo and Ma Ding’s parents stayed behind.
• Su Yuntao explained that Ma Xiunuo had asked Taichu to guide Ma Ding, who had awakened an iron staff Martial Soul and possessed rank-three Innate Soul Power.
• Taichu agreed to teach Ma Ding and decided to give him the Immortal Herb he had prepared for Ma Xiunuo.
• Dugu Bo led everyone into Dugu Manor, and Su Yuntao, Sisi, and Ma Ding marveled at its size and luxury.

Taichu revealed that he had obtained the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, but refused to absorb it and insisted that his uncle, Su Yuntao, use it to restore his severed leg. Dugu Bo eventually accepted Taichu’s decision, and Taichu left the Main Hall to prepare for Su Yuntao to absorb it.

• Dugu Bo examined the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and urged Taichu to absorb it.
• Taichu said he wanted Su Yuntao to absorb the Soul Bone and use its Limb Regeneration skill to restore his leg.
• Dugu Bo argued that Taichu would gain more from the Soul Bone because Su Yuntao was older, had limited aptitude, and was only level twenty-seven.
• Taichu insisted that he could not leave his uncle disabled for years while he waited to become strong enough to heal him himself.
• Dugu Bo gave in to Taichu’s request, and Taichu left the Main Hall.

Taichu reunited with Su Yuntao, gave him a Soul Bone that could regenerate his lost leg, and told him to begin guarding the gates of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Taichu planned to establish. Meanwhile, Dugu Bo secured imperial support for the academy, drawing attention to Taichu’s relationship with Dugu Bo’s granddaughter.

• Su Yuntao told Taichu that he and Sisi planned to marry.
• Taichu gave Su Yuntao a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone so he could regenerate his left leg.
• Taichu told Su Yuntao he would guard the academy gates, then left before Su Yuntao could object.
• Dugu Bo drove away Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members who demanded that he hand over the person who beat Yu Tianheng.
• Dugu Bo obtained Emperor Xue Ye’s approval, land, and funding for the Advanced Soul Master Academy Taichu proposed.
• Other factions learned that Dugu Bo was supporting his grandson-in-law’s academy and became jealous of Taichu’s connection to Dugu Bo.

Taichu’s uncle, Su Yuntao, emerged from seclusion after absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, while Qian Renxue investigated Taichu’s past and grew furious with Bibi Dong. Qian Renxue noticed clues about Taichu’s rare trips outside the city but dismissed the possibility that he had already reached level 20.

• Su Yuntao told Taichu that the Soul Bone had raised his Soul Power to level 30 and granted him two Soul Bone Skills.
• Taichu learned that Su Yuntao’s Limb Regeneration would take several months and joked that his uncle could become the academy’s gatekeeper once his leg recovered.
• Qian Renxue read a report on Taichu and angrily blamed Bibi Dong for rejecting the Innate Full Soul Power genius and retaliating against his uncle.
• Qian Renxue examined Taichu’s few recorded trips outside the city and guessed that his first trip had been to hunt his First Soul Ring.
• Qian Renxue dismissed the idea that Taichu had reached level 20 after his second recorded trip, not knowing that this was exactly what had happened.

Qian Renxue pieced together Taichu’s connection to Dugu Yan and regretted that Spirit Hall had rejected him, but refused to eliminate him to clean up Bibi Dong’s mistake. Two months later, Taichu reached Soul Power Level 36 and opened his new Advanced Soul Master Academy, named Samsara Academy.

• Qian Renxue concluded that Taichu had met the Imperial Dou Team during a Soul Hunting Operation, become involved with Dugu Yan, and later entered Dugu Manor as Dugu Bo’s grandson-in-law.
• Snake Lance and Chi Xue suggested killing Taichu, but Qian Renxue refused, blaming Bibi Dong for driving him away from Spirit Hall.
• Over the next two months, the Advanced Soul Master Academy was completed with support from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Taichu’s Soul Power rose to Level 36, and his Soul Power gained fire and ice attributes alongside lightning, leaving him with more Soul Skills to develop.
• Taichu held the opening of his new academy and hung a plaque bearing the name Samsara Academy.

Dugu Bo hosted a gathering for Taichu, where Xue Ye and Qian Renxue each pledged five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to Samsara Academy. Qian Renxue watched Taichu closely, having discovered his Thousand Year First Soul Ring and realizing Spirit Hall had overlooked a peerless genius.

• Nobles and factions visited Dugu Bo to strengthen their ties with him and meet Taichu.
• Xue Ye praised Taichu and pledged five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to Samsara Academy.
• Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, pledged another five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for the academy.
• Taichu noticed Qian Renxue's intense attention but did not know she had investigated his past.
• Qian Renxue recalled learning that Taichu had a Thousand Year First Soul Ring and regretted that Spirit Hall had missed him.

Qian Renxue learned that Taichu was an exceptionally powerful young genius and decided to recruit him rather than kill him. At Samsara Academy’s opening, Ning Fengzhi offered ten million Gold Soul Coins to secure Ning Rongrong’s enrollment, and Taichu readily agreed.

• Qian Renxue deduced that Taichu was the masked genius who had defeated Yu Tianheng and learned he had reached Soul Power Level 20 at age seven.
