Chapter Summaries

After the Body Sect returned from raiding Mingde Hall, Du Busi demanded the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, only to learn it had vanished in a mysterious explosion. The sect suspected someone had taken it amid the chaos, and Du Busi was left furious and distrustful of his returning elites.

• Du Busi celebrated the Body Sect's raid on Mingde Hall and demanded that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo be presented to him.
• When no one produced the treasure, Du Busi questioned Elder Xiong, who said he had found it sealed inside the God Sealing Platform.
• Elder Xiong explained that he fought the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's Dean of Academic Affairs while other Body Sect members went to retrieve the embryo.
• Elder Xiong reported that an explosion filled with spiritual shock and extreme cold blasted him away, and that Xiao Neng and the embryo had disappeared when he returned.
• Du Busi erupted in anger as Elder Xiong swore that someone had deliberately caused the explosion and seized the treasure.

Du Busi accused the Body Sect’s Elders and Core Disciples of stealing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo after it vanished during their raid on Mingde Hall. After searching everyone’s Storage Soul Tools without finding it, he heard Elder Xiong describe an unfamiliar intruder with a Body Martial Soul, Twin Martial Souls, and Ultimate Ice, but he suspected the claim was fabricated.

• Du Busi learned that Xiao Neng had gone missing during the retreat and suspected someone in the Body Sect had stolen the treasure.

• Elder Xiong identified the suspected intruder as someone with a Body Martial Soul, Twin Martial Souls, and Ultimate Ice, but Du Busi doubted his account.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao rushed to Wang Dong’s room to test his restored second Martial Soul, leaving her embarrassed and confused by his dramatic entrance.

• Huo Yuhao asked Wang Dong to release her Martial Soul so they could test his newly restored Ice Serpent second Martial Soul.

Huo Yuhao revealed his newly born Ice Serpent Martial Soul to Wang Dong and tested whether they could still create a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together. Their Ice Serpent and Clear Sky Hammer resonated and fused, producing a stronger, colder new version of Blazing in Extreme Frost, Hammer of the Heavenly Emperor.

Huo Yuhao faced the first challenger in a public match at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy and defeated him with a single precise strike. The arena fell silent as the crowd wondered whether Huo Yuhao would keep winning.

• Ji Juechen realized he had misjudged Huo Yuhao and agreed with Jing Ziyan that he should apologize.

Huo Yuhao defeated Nana, a Level 6 Soul Engineer whose Ghost Martial Soul and close-combat Soul Tools made her one of Sun Moon's strongest students. He went on to win thirty consecutive matches, leaving the academy stunned and fearing the threat he posed.

• Nana volunteered to challenge Huo Yuhao, confident that her speed, Ghost Martial Soul, and Level 5 Cyan Daggers would let her defeat him.

• After Huo Yuhao defeated his final opponent with Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and Soul Shock, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy fell silent and some students feared he must be killed.

After Huo Yuhao’s victories drove the Sun Moon Empire’s betting frenzy and left the academy desperate to salvage would-be jumpers, Gu Yu opened a new wager and planned to face Huo Yuhao himself in match fifty-one.

Huo Yuhao refused to return Nana’s Soul Spirit until after the competition and pushed her out, while Gu Yu and the Auspicious Beast continued collecting debts. Outside Ming City, Ye Guyi’s fight with an Evil Soul Master drew the guards, but his Holy Spirit Cult token left the guard captain recognizing him.

After Ye Guyi declared that Evil Soul Masters deserved to die, Gu Yu killed the Evil Soul Master with a swift, precise strike, leaving the guards and Ye Guyi stunned.
