Chapter Summaries

Long Zhanye learned that the extraterrestrial meteorite contained three ancient pure-blood powers, including qilin bloodline, but Medusa promised to explain how to use it only after he completed her first three trials. Later, his Dark Green Dragon Engraving Knife began devouring Number 96’s Dark Red Engraving Knife, and Long Zhanye watched through the night as the red light disappeared.

As the elimination matches were about to begin, Nangong Wan urged Long Zhanye and Huang Zheng to secure the championship for the Xishui Alliance.

• Long Zhanye examined the Dark Green Dragon Engraving Knife after it devoured the Dark Red Engraving Knife and found it sharper, more powerful, and imbued with a corrosive, burning force.

At the black-market tournament, Lin Zhi killed Zhao Shouze in the first match. Long Zhanye then faced Lan Ruoruo of the Ordinary Alliance, who tried to unsettle him with her timid charm before the match began.

• Long Zhanye appeared sluggish while Lan Ruoruo circled him with her concealed short sword ready.

• Long Zhanye sensed that Ye Guyi’s holy Martial Soul restrained his killing intent and decided to save her so he could seek her help in the future.

• Ye Yulin resolved to interrupt the match if Po Hongchen was in danger, then announced the start as Ye Guyi thrust her sword toward Long Zhanye.

Long Zhanye warned Ye Guyi that the Holy Spirit Cult would target her for revealing her sacred attribute, then tried to convince her to lose so he could protect her. He stopped her attack without using soul skills, but when he released his eerie Chaos Qi to maintain his cover, Ye Guyi mistook him for a true Evil Soul Master and prepared to fight harder.

• Ye Guyi accused Long Zhanye of being an Evil Soul Master and spread her holy wings, readying herself for another attack.

• Ye Guyi’s sacred sword beams clashed with Long Zhanye’s Chaos energy, while the Holy Spirit Cult feared her potential and considered interfering if he fell behind.

• An Litong left without objecting, while Shangguan Wei'er remained behind grieving Ye Guyi's death.

After Long Zhanye won the match, he collected the Xishui Alliance’s rewards, including the Sun Moon Divine Needle and a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell. The Vice Sect Master revealed her Evil Phoenix Martial Soul and tried to recruit him, leaving Long Zhanye facing her overwhelming power and the trapped spectators.

• An Litong, Shangguan Wei'er, and the crowd left in fear after Long Zhanye stood among the five Evil Soul Masters.

• The Vice Sect Master urged Long Zhanye to join the alliance while her power immobilized the remaining spectators and locked down their souls.

Long Zhanye refused to join the Holy Spirit Cult without consulting Kong Deming, then learned that his master would not teach him until he met three conditions. He began working on his own innovation in his laboratory, while the Mingdou Mountain Range requirement remained unresolved.

• Long Zhanye told the deputy cult leader that he was Kong Deming's closed-door disciple and left the black market without joining the Holy Spirit Cult.
• The deputy cult leader rejected Nangong Wan's plan to brainwash Long Zhanye and ordered him watched and persuaded to join instead.
• Long Zhanye returned to his dormitory, released the weakened Ye Guyi, and carried her to bed before heading to Mingde Hall's Experimental Zone No. 7.
• Kong Deming told Long Zhanye he would teach only disciples who had joined Mingde Hall, developed their own innovation, and mined ore in the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Long Zhanye left Kong Deming and began engraving Rare Metals in his independent laboratory to develop an innovation of his own.

After spending seven days creating seven linked Class 7 soul tools, Long Zhanye impressed Kong Deming and fulfilled the second requirement. He returned to find Ye Guyi had regained consciousness and confronted him with a sword, leaving their standoff unresolved.

• Long Zhanye spent seven days making seven ring-shaped soul tools based on the Sun Moon Divine Needle.
• Long Zhanye showed the tools to Kong Deming and explained that Soul Tool Isotopic Resonance Technology let them combine their power to match a Class 9 soul tool.
• Kong Deming approved the innovation and told Long Zhanye he had completed the second requirement.
• Long Zhanye remembered Ye Guyi had been confined in his dormitory for seven days and hurried back.
• Ye Guyi attacked Long Zhanye as he entered, but he dodged her sword and taunted her about what he had done to her.
• Ye Guyi kept her sword raised despite Long Zhanye warning her not to provoke him.

Long Zhanye held Ye Guyi in his dorm at Mingde Hall and offered her a chance to study under Master Kong Deming if she stayed with him until he suppressed his Killing Intent. When Ji Juechen came knocking, Long Zhanye tried to hide Ye Guyi in his Storage Belt, but she refused, and he threw a red cube toward her.

• Ye Guyi recognized Long Zhanye from their encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest four years earlier and demanded to know why he had brought her to Mingde Hall.
• Long Zhanye warned Ye Guyi that the security systems would treat her as an intruder if she tried to leave, and said she could go once he suppressed his Killing Intent.
• Long Zhanye offered Ye Guyi resources and the chance to study in Mingde Hall under Master Kong Deming, and she agreed to stay until he returned from the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Someone knocked urgently at Long Zhanye's door, and he identified the visitor as Ji Juechen, whom he wanted to avoid fighting.
• Long Zhanye told Ye Guyi to return to his Storage Belt, but she refused, so he tossed a pale red cube toward her.

Long Zhanye used a Level 7 Binding Light Soul Tool to capture Ye Guyi and escape Ji Juechen, then flew toward the Mingdou Mountain Range to complete his mission. He surveyed the dangerous borderland and considered how the Sun Moon Empire could develop its mineral resources without destroying its soul beast habitat.

• Ye Guyi caught the cube, which split into eight pieces and bound her inside a cube-shaped space; Long Zhanye stored her and escaped through the window.
• Ji Juechen arrived to find Long Zhanye gone, while Long Zhanye flew away and identified the device as his newly made Level 7 Binding Light Soul Tool.
• Long Zhanye unfolded Jing Hongchen's Class 8 Supersonic Bionic Flight Wings and headed for the Mingdou Mountain Range as Ye Guyi shouted curses from inside his Storage Belt.
• After flying for half a day, Long Zhanye surveyed the mountain range's branches, mineral deposits, and dangerous central region.
• Long Zhanye reasoned that the Sun Moon Empire should limit mining to the outer branches to preserve the soul beasts living in the range.

Long Zhanye entered the Mingdou Mountain Range seeking a strength-type soul beast for his Qilin Arm, while reflecting on his plans, the Body Sect’s decline, and the growing power of Soul Tools. His search ended when a strange metallic-furred wolf soul beast appeared before him.

• Long Zhanye explored the Mingdou Mountain Range with his Mental Power active and hoped to gain a suitable Soul Ring for his second Martial Soul, the Qilin Arm.
• Long Zhanye planned to develop the Qilin Arm toward ultimate strength while keeping the Heavenly Eye balanced and all-purpose.
• Long Zhanye kept Elder Gu’s sealed Soul Power in his right arm as a trump card for a future breakthrough to Title Douluo.
• Long Zhanye worried that the Body Sect and Mingde Hall would clash again and questioned which side he would choose if his identity were exposed.
• Long Zhanye judged the Body Sect stagnant as he compared its shrinking ranks with Mingde Hall’s increasingly powerful Soul Tools.
• A golden, metallic-furred wolf soul beast leapt from the woods and confronted Long Zhanye.

Long Zhanye encountered an eight-thousand-year Gold Wolf and fought it with his Double Pupil and Multi-functional Soul Guidance Turret. He defeated the beast and stored its corpse, but left its Thousand-Year Soul Ring behind as he continued seeking a stronger Soul Beast.

• Long Zhanye recognized the Gold Wolf as a rare Soul Beast whose metal-rich body could strengthen Soul Tools and Spirit Masters.
• The Gold Wolf attacked with a metal orb that expanded midair, and Long Zhanye dodged as it destroyed a huge tree.
• The Gold Wolf fired another orb of pure force, and Ye Guyi explained that Gold Wolves could develop Ultimate Strength at a hundred thousand years.
• Long Zhanye deployed thirty-six cannon barrels from his Multi-functional Soul Guidance Turret and bombarded the Gold Wolf as it tried to defend itself and escape.
• The barrage exhausted and wounded the Gold Wolf, and Long Zhanye stored its corpse while leaving its Thousand-Year Soul Ring behind.

Long Zhanye and Ye Guyi entered the main range of the Mingdou Mountain Range, where Long Zhanye used his Heavenly Eye to discover a pack of Gold Wolves led by a likely Hundred-Thousand-Year Gold Wolf Emperor. He grew eager to claim the emperor as a Soul Ring for his Qilin Arm, while Ye Guyi questioned how he had sensed the pack from so far away.

• Long Zhanye released Ye Guyi from the Storage Belt, and she warned that the dead Gold Wolf's blood would attract more wolves before following him deeper into the mountains.
• Long Zhanye and Ye Guyi crossed the branch range and entered the main range, where the scent of Gold Wolf blood drove most Soul Beasts away and let them travel without fighting.
• Long Zhanye rested on a mountaintop, opened his Heavenly Eye, and sensed eleven Gold Wolves beneath the mountain, including an eight-meter leader.
• Ye Guyi explained that the leader was likely the Gold Wolf Emperor, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and that Gold Wolves grew slowly with age.
• Long Zhanye became excited by the prospect of using the Gold Wolf Emperor as the First Soul Ring for his Qilin Arm, while keeping Heavenly Eye's ultimate talent secret from Ye Guyi.
