Chapter Summaries

At Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, Jiang Ming challenged Yu Xiaogang’s theory that Space-type Martial Souls should focus on defense and argued they should develop their innate spatial abilities. After Jiang Ming demonstrated spatial movement and cutting without using a Soul Skill, Yu Xiaogang angrily lashed out at him.

• Jiang Ming refused Yu Xiaogang’s plan to give his Space-type Martial Soul defensive Soul Rings and argued that spatial abilities offered better defense and offense.
• Yu Xiaogang insisted that Space-type Martial Souls were weak defensively and should absorb turtle-type or shell-type Soul Rings.
• Jiang Ming explained how spatial folding and distortion could evade or redirect attacks, and argued that spatial rifts could tear through strong defenses.
• Jiang Ming gathered spatial power without a Soul Ring or Soul Skill, shifted notes across the desk, and split them apart with an invisible force.
• Yu Xiaogang failed to refute Jiang Ming’s demonstration, then slammed the lectern and angrily accused him of arrogance and disrespecting decades of research.

Jiang Ming publicly exposed Yu Xiaogang’s low innate Soul Power, then planned to use him to help pursue the Blue Silver Emperor’s inheritance. He watched Yu Xiaogang take Tang San toward Soul Hunting Forest, leaving his next move unshown.

• Jiang Ming told the class he had reached Soul Power Level 9 and confronted Yu Xiaogang about having only half a level of Innate Soul Power.
• Yu Xiaogang left the classroom in humiliation as the students discussed Jiang Ming’s claims.
• In his dormitory, Jiang Ming planned to obtain a meditation method and eventually claim the Blue Silver Emperor’s Seed of Life and Spirit Bone.
• Jiang Ming decided to use Yu Xiaogang’s help while avoiding Tang Hao by staying away from Tang San for now.
• Yu Xiaogang and Tang San departed Nuoding City for Soul Hunting Forest, and Jiang Ming watched their carriage leave.

Jiang Ming secretly reached the cave where the Blue Silver Emperor was hidden and dug her up, intending to restore her vitality before using her. He left with the plant in a flowerpot, while Tang San was on his way to the Soul Hunting Forest.

• Jiang Ming left for Holy Soul Village, reasoning that Tang Hao would secretly follow Tang San to protect him on the way to the Soul Hunting Forest.
• Jiang Ming found the waterfall cave and used his spatial ability to pass through Tang Hao's Soul Power barrier.
• Jiang Ming entered the chamber and found the weakened Blue Silver Emperor growing beneath a small shaft of sunlight.
• Jiang Ming spoke to the Blue Silver Emperor, whose leaves shook in response and revealed that she retained some consciousness.
• Jiang Ming dug up the Blue Silver Emperor, placed her in a flowerpot, and decided to let her recover before using her.

Jiang Ming found and took the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, then fed on the recovering Blue Silver Emperor and awakened her remnant consciousness. Meanwhile, Tang San absorbed a Mandala Snake Soul Ring, and Tang Hao resolved that his son would avenge Ah Yin; the chapter ended with the Blue Silver Emperor's life force violently resisting Jiang Ming from within.

• Jiang Ming triggered a hidden mechanism and retrieved the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from a stone chamber.
• Tang San successfully absorbed a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake Soul Ring while Yu Xiaogang celebrated the result.
• Tang Hao watched from a tree, reflected on Ah Yin's death, and vowed that Tang San would destroy Spirit Hall to avenge her.
• At Nuoding Academy, Nuoke asked Yu Xiaogang about Jiang Ming, who had been missing for days, and Yu Xiaogang dismissed the concern.
• Jiang Ming uprooted the Blue Silver Emperor he had revived over seven days and swallowed her, awakening her remnant consciousness.
• The Blue Silver Emperor instinctively resisted Jiang Ming, sending her life force through his body in an attempt to break free.

Jiang Ming devoured Ah Yin’s remaining life force, reached Soul Power level ten, and decided to risk entering the Star Dou Great Forest to find a Spatial Soul Beast for his first Soul Ring. Tang Hao discovered that Ah Yin’s Seed of Life and Spirit Bone were missing, and his grief and fury drove him to tear apart the back mountain without finding the thief.

• Jiang Ming suppressed Ah Yin’s fading consciousness and absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor’s life force, raising his Soul Power to level ten without gaining a second Martial Soul.
• Jiang Ming reviewed his notes on Spatial Soul Beasts and chose to gamble on searching for one in the dangerous Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tang Hao returned to his house in Holy Soul Village and followed his growing unease to the waterfall behind the village.
• Tang Hao found that Ah Yin’s Seed of Life and the Spirit Bone he had kept for Tang San were gone, though the Soul Power barrier remained intact.
• Tang Hao erupted in rage, summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, and destroyed the back mountain while searching for whoever had taken the relics.

After grieving Ah Yin’s stolen belongings, Tang Hao resolved to hunt down the thief, while Jiang Ming returned to Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy and clashed with Xiao Wu over her attempt to clear the cafeteria. The chapter ended with Jiang Ming calmly challenging Xiao Wu’s authority.

• Tang Hao knelt by the Blue Silver Grass, mourned Ah Yin, and vowed to find the thief who had taken her belongings.
• Jiang Ming returned to Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy after waiting three days, then went to the cafeteria before handling his withdrawal.
• Xiao Wu arrived with Tang San and the work-study students, ordered everyone out, and had them arrange a table for her group.
• Wang Sheng and Xiao Wu confronted Jiang Ming when he stayed seated and continued eating.
• Jiang Ming told Xiao Wu that academy rules were not hers to decide, and Xiao Wu stopped the work-study students from rushing him.

Jiang Ming easily countered Xiao Wu and Tang San in the cafeteria, revealing strange spatial abilities and unsettling Tang San by noticing his Purple Demon Eye. He left the cafeteria, while Tang San and Xiao Wu were left shaken and uncertain about what Jiang Ming knew.

• Xiao Wu attacked Jiang Ming, but he vanished, appeared behind her, and kicked her to the ground.
• Tang San attacked Jiang Ming with Blue Silver Grass, but Jiang Ming vanished again and severed the vines with a silver-gray crack.
• Jiang Ming warned Xiao Wu and challenged Tang San's attempt to defend her, then nearly struck Tang San with another spatial crack, cutting a strand of his hair.
• Jiang Ming remarked that Tang San's eyes had changed color, making Tang San fear that his Purple Demon Eye had been exposed.
• Jiang Ming left the cafeteria, and Tang San told Xiao Wu that his eye-changing ability was a self-created soul skill.

Jiang Ming withdrew from Nuoding Academy and traveled to Star Moon Town to prepare for entering the Star Dou Great Forest. There, he learned that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had sent hundreds of people to hunt for a congratulatory gift, and he suspected the gift was for one of its two Title Douluos.

• Jiang Ming rejected the Academic Affairs teacher’s advice, signed his withdrawal papers, and left Nuoding Academy.
• Tang San brooded over Jiang Ming’s taunt about his secret technique and vowed to destroy him at any cost.
• After two days of travel, Jiang Ming arrived in Star Moon Town and rented a room at an inn near the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Inn attendant Xiao Liu told Jiang Ming that several hundred people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had arrived to hunt Soul Beasts for a congratulatory gift.
• Jiang Ming reasoned that the gift was likely intended for Sword Douluo Chen Xin or Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

Jiang Ming recognized Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong arriving at the inn, where they clashed with Spirit Hall’s Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena over the crowd. A report of a murdered Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple revealed that the Soul Beast they were hunting was in town.

• Jiang Ming spotted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s carriage and identified its passengers as Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong.
• Ning Rongrong ordered the inn’s guests to leave, and Chen Xin’s presence pressured them into obeying.
• Xie Yue challenged Ning Rongrong’s demand, and Hu Liena introduced herself as Bibi Dong’s disciple, heightening tensions between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• A disciple reported that a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect member had been found with his organs removed and no trace of a fight or Soul Beast.
• Chen Xin said the beast favored Soul Masters’ organs and confirmed that it was in town.

Sword Douluo failed to strike a five-hundred-year Space Type Soul Beast after it killed another disciple, leaving the inn’s residents terrified. Jiang Ming realized the beast was nearby and went downstairs as panic spread and freelance Soul Masters began fleeing.

• Sword Douluo warned that the Space Type Soul Beast could kill low-level Soul Masters in an instant, while Xie Yue reasoned that it only hunted weaker opponents.
• Jiang Ming sensed the Soul Beast on the roof above his room and stayed motionless as it attacked someone in the street below.
• After a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple cried out that Third Brother had been attacked, Sword Douluo fired sword qi toward the inn across the street but missed the beast.
• Jiang Ming joined the crowd outside, where Sword Douluo admitted that his strike had failed to hit the Soul Beast.
• Several freelance Soul Masters fled the inn, while the innkeeper stood in shock.

Jiang Ming lured the spatial Soul Beast to the abandoned mines, hoping to claim its hundred-year Space Soul Ring despite the risk of death. He identified the wounded creature as a Space-Rending Beast just as it launched a killing blow at him.

• Xie Yue and Hu Liena dismissed the Soul Beast as a threat to the Golden Generation while Sword Douluo's presence kept the street secure.
• Jiang Ming reasoned that the Soul Beast was desperate to feed and decided to use his Space Martial Soul to draw it out.
• Jiang Ming left the hotel and went alone to the abandoned mines north of the city.
• The Space-Rending Beast appeared behind Jiang Ming, and he recognized its wounds and deduced that a spreading curse had driven it to hunt.
• The Space-Rending Beast vanished and sent a foreclaw through space toward Jiang Ming's heart.

Jiang Ming fought the cursed Space-Rending Beast, using his limited Space Shift to survive its attacks until his Soul Power ran out. He killed it with a dagger at the cost of devastating injuries, and the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality kept him alive.

• Jiang Ming used Space Shift to evade the Space-Rending Beast's first attacks, but its sweeping claws cut into his side and back.
• The Space-Rending Beast unleashed rapid short-range Space Leaps, while Jiang Ming exhausted his Soul Power dodging its strikes.
• With no power left to escape, Jiang Ming let the beast bite his left arm and tear open his chest, then stabbed and twisted his dagger into its left eye and brain.
• The Space-Rending Beast died, and Jiang Ming collapsed with severe wounds as the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality preserved his life.

Jiang Ming absorbed the Space-Rending Beast's six-hundred-year Space-Type Soul Ring despite its deadly backlash, surviving as the Blue Silver Emperor repeatedly repaired and strengthened his body. He emerged with a greatly improved physique and stronger spatial abilities, then headed toward Nuoding City.

• Jiang Ming began absorbing the Space-Rending Beast's Soul Ring and discovered its energy was far more powerful than a hundred-year ring's.
• The Soul Ring's energy tore through Jiang Ming's body while the Blue Silver Emperor repeatedly healed him, strengthening his meridians, bones, and muscles with each cycle.
• Jiang Ming successfully absorbed the six-hundred-year Space-Type Soul Ring and saw his wounds heal as the Blue Silver Emperor's life force receded.
• Jiang Ming found his physique was close to a Soul Elder's strength and his Space Tear and movement abilities had increased dramatically.
• Jiang Ming celebrated surviving his gamble, praised Tang San's mother, and set off for Nuoding City ahead of a death anniversary in a few days.

After visiting his parents’ graves, Jiang Ming returned to Nuoding City and planned to travel to Suotuo City to earn money and gain combat experience. He ran into Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, rebuked them, and faced Yu Xiaogang’s attack as the chapter ended.

• Jiang Ming visited his parents’ graves through the night, cleared and repaired them, and left at dawn.
• Jiang Ming entered Nuoding City and decided to go to Suotuo City to earn money through Soul Fighting Tournaments.
• Yu Xiaogang stopped Jiang Ming at a tea stall and mocked him for supposedly remaining at the Soul Master stage.
• Tang San corrected Yu Xiaogang, saying Jiang Ming had advanced beyond the Soul Master stage.
• Jiang Ming called Yu Xiaogang and his student trash, angering Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
• Yu Xiaogang released his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, and sent a blast of yellow gas toward Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming avoided Yu Xiaogang's foul soul skills, then defeated Tang San's attack and knocked Yu Xiaogang to the ground. He left for the north gate while Yu Xiaogang shouted after him.

• Yu Xiaogang unleashed his farting and snoring soul skills, but Jiang Ming used spatial movement to evade them.
• Tang San attacked Jiang Ming with Blue Silver Grass, which Jiang Ming cut apart with spatial cracks.
• Jiang Ming's Space Tear narrowly missed Tang San, cut his hair, and felled a locust tree behind him.
• Jiang Ming kicked Yu Xiaogang behind the knee, sending him sprawling onto the pavement.
• Tang San stopped when Jiang Ming looked at him, and Jiang Ming walked toward the north gate as Yu Xiaogang shouted after him.

Three years after Jiang Ming left Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, he had become a skilled Soul Fighting Arena veteran known as Boundless. In a match against Ma Hongjun, Jiang Ming dodged his attacks and struck him with a tiny spatial rift, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Tang San recognized that Jiang Ming had severed the locust tree by cutting space, while Yu Xiaogang vowed to make him pay.
• Over the next three years in Suotuo City, Jiang Ming earned nearly thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins in the Soul Fighting Arena and refined his Space Martial Soul.
• Jiang Ming entered the arena to face Ma Hongjun, whose matches had made spectators suspect that he sometimes lost deliberately.
• Ma Hongjun attacked with his Phoenix Fire Line and charged Jiang Ming with a flame-covered fist.
• Jiang Ming dodged Ma Hongjun's punch by vanishing, then tapped his back as a tiny point of light passed through Ma Hongjun's body.

Jiang Ming defeated Ma Hongjun with a single strike, then went to investigate a mysterious poisoning case at the City Lord's Mansion. Healing-type soul masters found no signs of illness in the hidden patient, and the chapter left Jiang Ming about to learn what Grandmaster Wu had found strange.

• Jiang Ming pierced Ma Hongjun's chest with one strike and won their Soul Fighting Arena match.
• Jiang Ming collected his prize money, declined another match, and planned to prepare for obtaining his second Soul Ring.
• Jiang Ming saw Flender and Shao Xin at the City Lord's Mansion, where a powerful poison had left the guest's physicians helpless.
• Jiang Ming entered the mansion and watched several healing-type soul masters examine the patient without finding any abnormalities.
• Grandmaster Wu revealed that he had examined only the patient's arm, which appeared normal despite something about it seeming strange.

Healing-type Soul Masters examined the City Lord's mysterious patient but found no illness, though several noticed the patient's body temperature was strangely high. After the other healers refused to try, Jiang Ming volunteered to examine the patient.

• Grandmaster Zhou said the patient's vital signs were normal but his body felt unusually warm.
• Shao Xin examined the patient, offered antidote candies, and left saying there was no illness and the body temperature was wrong.
• Jiang Ming noticed that every healer had failed to identify the problem, while the City Lord remained convinced something was wrong.
• The steward and other healers questioned Jiang Ming's ability because his Soul Power was below level twenty.
• Jiang Ming insisted on trying, and the City Lord allowed him to go in after everyone else had failed.

Jiang Ming identified Xue Qinghe’s ailment as Spring Poison and told the disguised Qian Renxue that she could cure it herself. He waited outside as the treatment continued, leaving the City Lord and the healing Soul Masters wondering whether Jiang Ming’s advice had worked.

• Jiang Ming recognized that Xue Qinghe had been poisoned with Red Phoenix Entanglement and learned that the patient was the Heaven Dou Empire’s crown prince.
• Xue Qinghe explained that earlier healers had recognized the poison but had been reluctant to discuss it because of the crown prince’s status.
• Jiang Ming told Xue Qinghe that she could detoxify the poison herself, and she blushed before asking him to leave so she could consider it.
• Jiang Ming waited outside while the Guard Captain cleared the corridor, and he realized Xue Qinghe had begun following his advice.
• After half an hour, the City Lord questioned Jiang Ming about his method as the healing Soul Masters began to suspect he might have succeeded.

Jiang Ming cured Xue Qinghe’s Spring Poison and received a High-Level Meditation Technique and a token promising help finding a thousand-year Space Type Soul Beast. After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, he noticed two presences following him in an alley.

• Xue Qinghe summoned Jiang Ming alone after his treatment and confirmed that her poison had mostly been cured.
• Xue Qinghe offered Jiang Ming a reward, and he requested a High-Level Meditation Technique and a thousand-year Space Type Soul Beast.
• Xue Qinghe gave Jiang Ming the meditation technique and her personal token, telling him to find her in Heaven Dou City in three months.
• Xue Qinghe warned Jiang Ming about the dangers of absorbing a Soul Ring beyond the usual age limit, but Jiang Ming insisted he was confident.
• Jiang Ming left the City Lord’s Mansion and entered an alley, where he confronted two presences that had followed him.
