Chapter Summaries

Bibi Dong gave Hu Liena a fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone and decided to bring Qian Renxue into the Spirit Hall Team as a hidden trump card. Su Ming's Diary then revealed Hu Liena's future connection with Tang San in the City of Slaughter, leaving her fearing the consequences and questioning why Tang San had helped her instead of killing her.

• Bibi Dong gave Hu Liena a fifty-thousand-year left leg bone to improve her speed, despite Spirit Hall's dwindling Soul Bone reserves.
• Bibi Dong decided Qian Renxue could join the Spirit Hall Team as a substitute and summoned Gui Mei to bring her to the Pope's Palace.
• Gui Mei told Bibi Dong and Hu Liena that Su Ming had removed the markings from his face and that he had accepted Zhu Zhuqing as his final disciple.
• Su Ming's Diary described Hu Liena volunteering to train in the City of Slaughter, where she later joined forces with Tang San and achieved one hundred victories.
• The Diary revealed that Tang San knew Hu Liena belonged to Spirit Hall and still helped her detoxify, prompting Su Ming to wonder why Tang San had not killed her.

Su Ming recounted how Hu Liena believed Tang San’s false story in the City of Slaughter and revealed that the King of Slaughter was Tang Chen. Bo Saixi learned Tang Chen might be in danger and wondered what had happened to him.

• Su Ming mocked Hu Liena for falling for Tang San’s alias and invented tale about being abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect.
• Gui Mei brought Qian Renxue to Spirit Hall after Bibi Dong summoned her over a matter concerning Spirit Hall’s honor.
• Su Ming described Hu Liena and Tang San reaching one hundred victories and preparing to enter Hell Road, while the King of Slaughter tried to dissuade them.
• Su Ming revealed that the King of Slaughter had once been Tang Chen, prompting Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi to react.
• Bo Saixi feared something had happened to Tang Chen, and the system said he was about to die.

Su Ming explained how the Nine-Headed Bat King had parasitized Tang Chen and argued that the Asura God had arranged the events around the City of Slaughter. Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi were left considering the possibility that the Nine-Headed Bat King and the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent came from another plane, while Su Ming concluded that Tang Chen likely did not know the Bat King was there.

• Su Ming revealed that Tang Chen had passed Asura's Eighth Trial before the Nine-Headed Bat King parasitized him, shocking Bo Saixi and prompting Bibi Dong to reconsider what she had seen in the City of Slaughter.
• Su Ming reasoned that the parasitized King of Slaughter feared anyone obtaining Divine Slaughter's Domain because it could attract the Asura God’s attention, but suggested the god had already chosen Tang San as a better inheritor.
• Su Ming questioned how the weak Nine-Headed Bat King could have parasitized Tang Chen and recalled that Tang San later killed it without gaining a Soul Ring.
• Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi realized that the absence of a Soul Ring suggested the Nine-Headed Bat King was not native to their world.
• Su Ming explained that the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent on Hell Road also lacked a Soul Ring and had been brought from another plane by the Asura God, leading him to suspect the Nine-Headed Bat King had been brought from elsewhere too.
• Su Ming concluded that Tang Chen probably had not known the Nine-Headed Bat King existed before he undertook the God Trial.

Bo Saixi learned from the diary that the Asura God had used Tang Chen as a pawn to help Tang San inherit dual godhood, leaving Tang Chen vulnerable to the Nine-Headed Bat King. She stayed on Sea God Island and resolved to cultivate faster, while recognizing that the Sea God had also manipulated her trials to protect Tang San and make her sacrifice inevitable.

• Bo Saixi read that the Asura God had released the Nine-Headed Bat King to parasitize Tang Chen and prepare Tang San to inherit both the Asura and Sea God godhoods.
• Bo Saixi grew furious that the Asura God had chosen Tang San over Tang Chen, whose talent and self-made techniques surpassed hers and Qian Daoliu’s.
• The Seven Sacred Pillars arrived after Bo Saixi’s aura leaked through the Sea God Hall, and she told them she had lost control while cultivating.
• Bo Saixi decided she could not go to the City of Slaughter or leave Sea God Island, and focused instead on cultivating toward godhood.
• Bo Saixi recalled that the Sea God had altered Tang San’s later trials, including making her his opponent and setting up her eventual sacrifice.

Su Ming’s diary recounted Hu Liena’s growing love for Tang San and her later betrayal of Spirit Hall, leaving Hu Liena panicked while Bibi Dong reconsidered her past actions. The account then reached Tang San’s infiltration of Hu Liena’s group in the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu.

• Su Ming’s account described how Hu Liena fell for Tang San after he saved her on Hell Road, while Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong listened.
• Hu Liena panicked as Su Ming revealed that she had loved Tang San and betrayed Bibi Dong in the original story.
• Su Ming recounted how Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa influence led Spirit Hall to hunt Xiao Wu, and Bibi Dong regretted targeting Ah Rou’s daughter.
• Tang San entered the Star Dou Great Forest, found Hu Liena’s group heading toward Xiao Wu, and planned to use Hu Liena’s feelings to join them.
• Tang San staged a disturbance and claimed he had come to obtain his sixth Soul Ring, while Su Ming noted that Xiao Wu would still sacrifice herself for him.

Su Ming questioned whether Tang San’s plan to give Xiao Wu the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone could have worked, arguing that she could not absorb it and that Tang San had likely relied on her devotion to secure her sacrifice. He also criticized Bibi Dong’s mission planning and suggested Old Monster as a possible third fighter alongside Ju Hua Guan and Gui Mei.

• Bibi Dong reasoned that Tang San had understood Xiao Wu’s love for him and expected her to sacrifice herself, despite her inability to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone at that stage.
• Xiao Wu realized that Tang San’s proposed escape plan was implausible because she could not use the Soul Bone and he should have been able to flee with his own abilities.
• Su Ming argued that Bibi Dong should have sent a third Titled Douluo, since Ju Hua Guan and Gui Mei could restrain Da Ming and Er Ming but could not attack while using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Bibi Dong recognized that Spirit Hall lacked a suitable third fighter above level ninety-five, while Qian Renxue agreed that Su Ming’s criticism was sound.
• Su Ming proposed Old Monster as a potential teammate for Ju Hua Guan and Gui Mei, citing his strength and friendship with Ju Hua Guan.

Su Ming explained how Hu Liena’s devotion to Tang San caused Spirit Hall’s failed soul-hunting mission and later revealed Bibi Dong’s plans to him. Bibi Dong and Xiao Wu were stunned by his account as the chapter ended.

• Bibi Dong approved of Su Ming’s suggestion to recruit Dugu Bo and listened as he resumed criticizing Hu Liena.
• Su Ming recounted how Hu Liena’s interest in Tang San contributed to the failed mission, during which Tang San struck down Xie Yue and Xiao Wu sacrificed herself.
• Su Ming explained that Hu Liena later met Tang San near the King of Slaughter and, after learning his plans, revealed that Bibi Dong was hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Su Ming said Hu Liena’s warning let Tang San prepare to seize Da Ming and Er Ming’s Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
• Xiao Wu questioned Su Ming’s claim, while Bibi Dong reacted with shock at Hu Liena’s betrayal.

Hu Liena realized that revealing Bibi Dong’s whereabouts had indirectly caused the deaths of Gui Mei and Ju Hua Guan, and she collapsed in grief. After criticizing Hu Liena’s actions and Spirit Hall’s leaders for letting love cloud their judgment, Su Ming finished his diary entry at the hotel.

• Tang San used the Blue Silver Domain and Sea God's Light from his trident to find and kill Gui Mei in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• The chapter explained that Ju Hua Guan later died after seeking revenge for Gui Mei alone, while Bibi Dong had been unable to send enough reinforcements against Tang San.
• Hu Liena understood that revealing Bibi Dong’s whereabouts had indirectly caused both uncles’ deaths and fell to the ground crying as Bibi Dong remained silent.
• Su Ming criticized Hu Liena, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue for letting their feelings for Tang San undermine Spirit Hall, then finished writing his diary at the hotel.

After Su Ming continued researching his powers, Bibi Dong forgave Hu Liena for her future mistakes and explained that Divine Slaughter's Domain might have influenced her. Bibi Dong then asked Qian Renxue to enter the Soul Master Elite Competition as a substitute so she could face Su Ming.

• Su Ming continued studying the conversion between life force and destructive force, hoping to finish before the match against Thunderclap Academy.
• Hu Liena admitted her guilt to Bibi Dong and offered to return her Soul Bones and leave Spirit Hall.
• Bibi Dong forgave Hu Liena, reasoning that she and Qian Renxue had also contributed to Spirit Hall's future downfall and that Hu Liena deserved a chance to change.
• Bibi Dong warned Hu Liena that the Asura God might have influenced her through Divine Slaughter's Domain, and explained that Rakshasa divine power and her Pure Heart Bead protected her.
• Bibi Dong asked Qian Renxue to compete as a substitute because Su Ming was a serious threat and the tournament was her last chance to participate by age.

Qian Renxue revealed that she had reached Soul Power Level 83 and wanted to join the Spirit Hall team in the Soul Master Elite Competition, while Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu argued over whether she should begin the Angel God Trial. The chapter ended with Qian Renxue telling her grandfather that she did not want him to die for her.

• Qian Renxue told Bibi Dong she worried that competing as an 83rd-level Soul Douluo would expose her identity and alarm the Two Great Empires.
• Bibi Dong urged Qian Renxue to tell Qian Daoliu her strength, recognizing that she feared he would start the Angel God Trial and sacrifice himself for her.
• Bibi Dong summoned Qian Daoliu to the Pope's Palace, where Qian Renxue revealed her Soul Power Level was 83 and said she planned to join Spirit Hall's team as a reserve.
• Qian Daoliu urged Qian Renxue to begin the God Trial immediately, but Bibi Dong insisted that she and Qian Renxue had already decided otherwise.
• Qian Renxue shouted that the decision was hers and that she did not want Qian Daoliu to die for her.

Qian Renxue confronted Qian Daoliu after learning he would sacrifice himself to help her complete the Angel God Trial, while Bibi Dong questioned why some divine inheritances required a sacrificer. Bibi Dong concluded that the need for a sacrifice depended on each deity’s arrangements, and she suspected the Sea God’s influence might be behind it.

• Qian Renxue demanded that Qian Daoliu confirm whether he planned to sacrifice himself, saying she could not accept the Angel God Trial if it meant living with guilt.
• Qian Daoliu explained that he would sacrifice himself only after Qian Renxue passed the Angel God's Eighth Trial, and said he was willing to help his granddaughter inherit the position.
• Bibi Dong asked whether the Angel God Trial truly required Qian Daoliu's sacrifice and compared it with her own Rakshasa God Trial, which required no sacrificer.
• Qian Daoliu suggested that the Angel God’s apparent fall and dwindling divine power might explain the need for his sacrifice, while Bibi Dong noted that the Sea God Trial required one despite the Sea God not having fallen.
• Bibi Dong reasoned that the need for a sacrificer depended on each deity’s arrangements and suspected the Sea God might be involved in events affecting Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong persuaded Qian Daoliu to postpone Qian Renxue’s Angel God Trial so his sacrifice would not leave her with a heart demon, and Qian Renxue secured permission to compete against Su Ming’s powerful Heaven Dou Team. Bibi Dong planned to ruin Yu Xiaogang’s reputation, while Su Ming and Hu Liena received new system rewards.

• Bibi Dong warned Qian Daoliu that dying to start Qian Renxue’s trial could harm her future, and Qian Renxue asked to delay the trial until they found another solution.
• Bibi Dong suggested that her future Rakshasa divine power might start Qian Renxue’s Ninth Trial, and Qian Daoliu agreed to wait.
• Qian Renxue described Su Ming and the Heaven Dou Team’s strength, convincing Qian Daoliu that she needed to compete for Spirit Hall to have a chance of winning.
• Bibi Dong told Qian Renxue that she planned to ruin Yu Xiaogang’s reputation the next day.
• Su Ming received a Martial Soul Evolution Card and a major increase to his First Spirit Ring’s power, while Hu Liena received another Evolution Card, increased spiritual power, and Charm Mastery.

Spirit Hall exposed flaws and past harms in Yu Xiaogang’s theories, turning commoner Soul Masters against him across Spirit City and beyond. A mob stormed the hotel where Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were working on their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, and Tang San escaped with his teacher into another crowd.

• Spirit Hall posted notices accusing Yu Xiaogang of improper theories and correcting his claims about First Spirit Ring age limits.
• Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall branches across the continent to spread the accusations and sent disguised storytellers to publicize them.
• Angry commoner Soul Masters gathered outside the Thunderclap Academy hotel, demanding that Yu Xiaogang come out.
• A crowd broke into Yu Xiaogang and Tang San’s room while they studied their fusion skill, and Tang San used Blue Silver Entanglement to hold them back.
• Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang out through a window, but the mob outside surrounded them, and Yu Xiaogang demanded to know why they were attacking him.

Spirit Hall exposed Yu Xiaogang’s theories as flawed and plagiarized, leaving him publicly disgraced as he tried to defend himself. Gui Mei’s examples of disciples surpassing Yu Xiaogang’s Soul Ring limits drove him to spit blood.

• Thunderclap Academy members told Yu Tianxin, Tang San, and the others that Spirit Hall had exposed Yu Xiaogang’s theories.
• Su Ming explained to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong that Spirit Hall intended to destroy Yu Xiaogang’s reputation and had prepared evidence against him.

• Ju Hua Guan arrived with Gui Mei and threw Spirit Hall’s detailed notice to Yu Xiaogang, who grew pale as he read it.
• Gui Mei cited Tang San, Su Ming, and Zhu Zhuqing’s Soul Rings as evidence against Yu Xiaogang’s limits, and Yu Xiaogang spat blood when he heard Zhu Zhuqing’s fourth Soul Ring was ten thousand years old.

Ju Hua Guan exposed Yu Xiaogang’s theories as stolen, incomplete work and undermined his claim to have made Tang San successful. Spirit Hall promised to explain its attack on Thunderclap Academy after the tournament, leaving Tang San and his companions uneasy.

• Ju Hua Guan apologized to the commoner Soul Masters and promised Spirit Hall would improve and publish Yu Xiaogang’s stolen theories after the tournament.
• Dai Mubai demanded to know why Spirit Hall had ambushed Thunderclap Academy, and the crowd debated the attack and Spirit Hall’s motives.
• Ju Hua Guan and Gui Mei promised to explain the ambush after the tournament, and the commoner Soul Masters agreed to wait.
• Ju Hua Guan mocked Yu Xiaogang’s claim that there were no useless Martial Souls, arguing that Tang San’s innate talent—not Yu Xiaogang’s teaching—would make him powerful.
• Su Ming recognized that Ju Hua Guan had guessed Yu Xiaogang would later claim credit for Tang San becoming a god, while Tang San fell silent and Yu Xiaogang stammered in anger.

Ju Hua Guan humiliated Yu Xiaogang and hinted that Spirit Hall had prepared a gift for Tang San. The Heaven Dou Team then prepared to face the Star Luo Team, where Zhu Zhuqing rejected her family’s demand to return and Su Ming warned Dai Weisi not to harm her parents.

• Ju Hua Guan taunted Yu Xiaogang over his failed cultivation and Martial Soul until Yu Xiaogang fainted, then sent the gathering away and considered Spirit Hall’s plans for Tang San.
• Su Ming led the Heaven Dou Team toward its match with the Star Luo Team and decided that he, Dugu Yan, Zhu Qing, Lingling, Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Osler would compete.
• Dugu Bo questioned Su Ming’s lineup, and Su Ming explained that he wanted Zhu Qing to face Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun’s Hell White Tiger with support from him, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling.
• Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi demanded that Zhu Zhuqing return to the Star Luo Empire, but Zhu Zhuqing refused and accused Zhu Zhuyun of having threatened her life.
• Su Ming warned Dai Weisi not to harm Zhu Zhuqing’s parents, and Dai Weisi said the decision belonged to his father, the emperor.

Su Ming’s Heaven Dou Team faced Dai Weisi’s Star Luo Team, and the gap between their strengths shocked Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. After Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun summoned the Hell White Tiger, Su Ming and Ning Rongrong boosted Zhu Zhuqing until she reached early Soul Emperor strength, while their teammates moved to defeat the rest of the Star Luo team.

• Su Yuntao announced that Su Ming’s Heaven Dou Team included one Soul Emperor, three Soul Kings, and four Soul Ancestors, and revealed Zhu Zhuqing’s rise to Soul King.
• Su Yuntao introduced Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun as the Star Luo Team’s strongest members, then began the match.
• Su Ming directed Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Osler to handle the other opponents while Ning Rongrong prepared to support Zhu Zhuqing.
• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to summon the Hell White Tiger, which their two Support Soul Masters strengthened.
• Ning Rongrong and Su Ming amplified Zhu Zhuqing, raising her aura to the early Soul Emperor stage and giving her confidence to face the Hell White Tiger.
• Su Ming turned his attention to the rest of the Star Luo Team as Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan began clearing the weaker opponents.

Su Ming helped the Heaven Dou team counter Li Yang’s mirror-space Soul Skill with Dugu Yan’s poison, forcing the Star Luo team to surrender and letting Ye Lingling heal them. Dai Weisi and the Hell White Tiger were left to face the remaining fight.

• Li Yang used Suspended Mirror Shield Shuttle to hide his teammates inside a mirror-created alternate space.
• Su Ming told Dugu Yan to release her Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison into the mirrors, making Li Yang and the others reappear poisoned.
• Dai Weisi pleaded with Su Ming to spare his teammates and surrendered on their behalf.
• Su Ming called on Ye Lingling, who used her Twin Yin Yang Lotus to detoxify and heal the Star Luo team members.
• Dai Weisi told Li Yang that the defeat was caused by the gap in strength, not by Li Yang’s mistake.

Zhu Zhuqing faced Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun alone, using her powerful concealment skill to evade their strongest attack. Tang San could only glimpse her afterimage with his Purple Demon Eyes, so he and Yu Xiaogang considered using a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill against the Heaven Dou Team.

• Su Ming confirmed that only Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing would fight, while the others would provide support.
• Dai Weisi promised Zhu Zhuyun that he would not harm Zhu Zhuqing if she stayed out of the struggle for the throne and did not aid Dai Mubai.
• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun strengthened their Martial Soul compatibility, then attacked Zhu Zhuqing with Hell White Tiger Break.
• Zhu Zhuqing vanished with her fourth Spirit Skill, Hidden: Netherworld Without End, and Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes could reveal only a faint afterimage.
• Tang San admitted that he lacked confidence against Zhu Zhuqing and proposed using the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill to concentrate his teammates' Soul Power into himself.

Yu Xiaogang explained how Shrek’s team could use a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill by transferring their Soul Power to Tang San. On the battle platform, Zhu Zhuqing defeated Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun’s Hell White Tiger with one strike, then confronted her sister about the childhood assassination attempts.

• Yu Xiaogang assigned the team’s One-Line Long Dragon Formation, explaining that Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer could handle the power and might reach Martial Soul True Body.
• Yu Tianxin accepted Yu Xiaogang’s arrangement, while Lei Dong questioned why Tang San had been chosen to lead the formation.
• Zhu Zhuqing used her Netherworld Claw to strike the Hell White Tiger and break apart Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun’s fusion.
• Zhu Zhuqing approached Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, then asked Zhu Zhuyun whether she had arranged the assassination attempts against her.
• Dugu Yan used a Mind Reading Card on Zhu Zhuyun, who admitted she had sent the assassins and revealed that she had also intended to make others fear harming Zhu Zhuqing.
