• After five days of searching near the forest's core, Flender spotted a lone Thousand Jun Ant Emperor estimated to be around ninety thousand years old.
• Lin Yi judged the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor to be a valuable and safer target than pushing deeper for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, and told Chen Xin he wanted to hunt it.

He then decided to lead Chen Xin and Gu Rong on an expedition to secure a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for Lin Yi, who vowed to succeed.

• Ning Fengzhi called for Heaven Dou’s remaining legions, academies, clans, and independent Soul Masters to unite against the Spirit Hall.

• Lin Yi accepted the expedition and promised Ning Fengzhi that he would obtain the Soul Ring.

After absorbing it, Lin Yi reached peak level eighty-four and gained two powerful Soul Skills; the group then headed back to the sect as the continent’s situation remained uncertain.

• Zhu Zhuqing asked to join the expedition to obtain her fifth Soul Ring and grow stronger after Spirit Hall destroyed her family, and Ning Fengzhi agreed under strict orders.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Lin Yi, and Zhu Zhuqing entered the Far North and encountered the Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Bear King.

• After congratulating Lin Yi and collecting the Ice Bear King’s materials, the group set off south to return to the sect and respond to the changing situation.

After returning from the Far North, Lin Yi tested his strength against Dugu Bo and proved he could withstand the Poison Douluo’s ninth Soul Skill. As the Heaven Dou–Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance formed, Lin Yi accepted the appointment as the first Talent Hall Master.

• Zhu Zhuqing killed a fifty-thousand-year-old Phantom Ice Mink King, absorbed its Soul Ring, and advanced to level fifty-one with the new Soul Skill Hell Phantom Strike.
• Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Lin Yi sparred with Dugu Bo and used his layered defenses and Ice Dragon abilities to survive the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison.
• Dugu Bo praised Lin Yi’s combat skill, and the spectators recognized that the Soul Douluo could hold his own against a Titled Douluo.

• Ning Fengzhi and the imperial family established the Talent Hall to train gifted young Soul Masters in the alliance.
• Lin Yi accepted the appointment as the first Talent Hall Master.

Lin Yi put fifty young Soul Masters through punishing physical, control, and combat training at Talent Hall, then organized them into fixed teams for a new stage focused on teamwork. The chapter left the recruits beginning to form their teams as Lin Yi prepared to test how they would survive against overwhelming strength.

• Lin Yi introduced himself as Talent Hall Master and ordered the recruits to run the mountain steps ten times without using Soul Power, denying lunch to the last ten finishers.
• Lin Yi used Spirit Detection to assess each recruit’s strengths and weaknesses as they completed the exhausting run.
• Lin Yi imposed weeks of individualized conditioning, Soul Power control drills, unfair combat exercises, lessons, and painful medicinal baths.
• Huo Wu, Shui Yue'er, and others protested the harsh training, but Lin Yi challenged their readiness to survive battle, and they returned to training in silence.
• Lin Yi announced that the recruits would be split into five fixed teams and named Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er as captains.

Lin Yi defeated all five teams in the Talent Hall’s combat training and began pushing the trainees through daily battles to improve their teamwork. As he weighed the need for stronger Soul Rings against the sect’s precarious situation, Sword Douluo Chen Xin told him that Ning Rongrong would join the Talent Hall.

• Lin Yi challenged five teams of ten Soul Masters to last an incense stick against him, then defeated Ye Lingling’s team without releasing a Soul Ring.
• Lin Yi used his Martial Souls and Soul Skills to defeat Dugu Yan’s, Feng Xiaotian’s, and Huo Wu’s teams, while Shui Bing’er’s team held out the longest before conceding.
• Lin Yi criticized the trainees’ poor coordination and adaptability, then began daily combat training that forced them to fall, recover, and improve.
• Lin Yi judged that obtaining more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings would be difficult while Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong had to protect the sect and Heaven Dou Alliance.
• Chen Xin told Lin Yi that he and Ning Fengzhi had decided to let the confined Ning Rongrong join the Talent Hall.

Ning Rongrong entered Talent Hall under Lin Yi’s supervision and gradually adapted to its punishing training. Meanwhile, Tang San became Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect and made an alliance conditional on Lin Yi giving Xiao Wu back, a demand the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect refused.

• Chen Xin explained that Ning Rongrong’s assignment to Talent Hall would temper her and help her integrate into the sect, and Lin Yi agreed to supervise her by the rules.
• Lin Yi assigned Ning Rongrong to Ye Lingling’s team, where harsh endurance training and a team battle exposed her lack of fitness and battlefield awareness.
• Over time, Ning Rongrong took training seriously and began improving her positioning and teamwork as Talent Hall received medicinal baths and tonic soup to support its members.
• Yu Xiaogang returned with news that the Clear Sky Sect would consider an alliance only if Lin Yi returned Xiao Wu, whom Tang San claimed Lin Yi had stolen from him.
• Lin Yi rejected Tang San’s demand and declared that Tang San could have Xiao Wu only if he defeated him.
• Ning Fengzhi refused to trade Xiao Wu as a bargaining chip, while Yu Xiaogang agreed to relay the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s response to Tang San.

After Tang San demanded Xiao Wu as the price of an alliance, Lin Yi rejected the offer and agreed to follow Xiao Wu into the Star Dou Great Forest to seek help from her powerful friends. They secretly reached the Lake of Life, where Xiao Wu called out to Da Ming and Er Ming.

• Lin Yi told Xiao Wu about Tang San's demand, and she became angry that Tang San had tried to use her as leverage.
• Lin Yi reassured Xiao Wu that he would never trade her away and explained that rejecting the Clear Sky Sect could leave their side dangerously outmatched by Spirit Hall.
• Xiao Wu proposed going to the Star Dou Great Forest to ask Da Ming and Er Ming for help finding powerful Soul Rings, and Lin Yi agreed.
• Lin Yi and Xiao Wu secretly left the sect after arranging a cover story that they were going into seclusion to cultivate.
• Xiao Wu guided Lin Yi through the forest, helping them avoid dangers and reach the Core Circle in a few days.
• At the Lake of Life, Xiao Wu called out to Da Ming and Er Ming.

Lin Yi and Xiao Wu reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming, who agreed to help Lin Yi obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Lin Yi chose the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the hunt began with the beast surviving Er Ming’s devastating attack and sensing where Lin Yi and Xiao Wu were hiding.

• Xiao Wu reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming and told them how Lin Yi had protected her and why he needed a powerful Soul Ring.
• Da Ming and Er Ming agreed to help Lin Yi, and Lin Yi chose the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger over the Mystic Ice Flood Dragon.
• Er Ming led Lin Yi and Xiao Wu to the Black Mist Forest, then charged ahead to fight the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger while they hid nearby.
• Er Ming battled the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger for half an hour, but its cunning attacks wounded him and proved difficult to counter.
• Da Ming restrained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with his Slow Domain and Life Binding, allowing Er Ming to land a heavy blow that badly weakened it.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger absorbed much of Er Ming’s attack with a black membrane, then sensed Lin Yi and Xiao Wu’s hiding place and prepared to escape.

Lin Yi, Da Ming, and Er Ming killed the 110,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger after Lin Yi intercepted its attempted escape with the Ice Dragon Aurora Wave. With Xiao Wu and the two overlords guarding him, Lin Yi began absorbing its dangerous Soul Ring.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger tried to escape, but Lin Yi froze and disrupted the path ahead, slowing it long enough for Da Ming and Er Ming to trap it.
• Lin Yi unleashed Ice Dragon Storm and pierced a weak spot in the tiger’s neck with a focused Ice Dragon Aurora Wave, killing it.
• A 110,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring emerged, and Xiao Wu came out of hiding as Da Ming and Er Ming praised Lin Yi’s strike.
• Da Ming warned Lin Yi that the Soul Ring’s evil and devouring powers made absorption dangerous, and Lin Yi began absorbing it while the others stood guard.

Lin Yi absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring, reached Level 87, and gained two Ice Dragon Soul Skills. After Da Ming refused to help him hunt more hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts and warned him against recklessness, Lin Yi accepted the advice, spent several days consolidating his strength, and left the Star Dou Great Forest with Xiao Wu.

• Lin Yi resisted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring's spiritual erosion, absorbed its power, and advanced to Level 87.
• Lin Yi gained Dark Demon Evil Thunder Wrath and Black Dragon Devour as his Ice Dragon Martial Soul's third-ring Soul Skills.
• Lin Yi asked Da Ming and Er Ming to help him find more hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, but Da Ming refused and warned him against greed and haste.
• Lin Yi accepted Da Ming's guidance and spent several days stabilizing his Soul Power and practicing his new Soul Skills while Xiao Wu reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming.
• Lin Yi and Xiao Wu said goodbye to Da Ming and Er Ming and left the forest to return to the sect.

After returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Yi resumed his brutal training of the Talent Hall and tested his growing strength against Dugu Bo and Bone Douluo Gu Rong. He held his ground against Gu Rong’s Ninth Soul Skill, proving his combat strength had reached the Super Douluo threshold, and prepared to grow stronger before Spirit Hall’s coming threat.

• Lin Yi returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, reported his gains to Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong, and found Ye Lingling leading the Talent Hall’s improved training.
• Lin Yi resumed punishing the five teams with intensified training and thirty-percent-strength sparring, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing grew closer to him in their daily lives.
• Lin Yi defeated Dugu Bo’s strongest poison attack in a spar and revealed that he had reached level eighty-seven.
• Lin Yi challenged Gu Rong and used his defenses, speed, and new Soul Skills to withstand Bone Douluo’s White Bone Hell and Ninth Soul Skill, though he suffered internal injuries.
• Gu Rong praised Lin Yi’s strength as comparable to a level-ninety-five Titled Douluo, and Lin Yi continued preparing for Spirit Hall’s future attack.

Lin Yi fought Tang Hao to defend Xiao Wu’s right to choose, and Tang Hao withdrew after Lin Yi wounded him and won his respect. Six months later, Spirit Hall and defected Star Luo forces invaded the Heaven Dou Empire, bringing the looming war into the open.

• Lin Yi trained against Chen Xin and Gu Rong, sharpening his combat skills through repeated sparring.
• Tang Hao and Tang San came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Tang San demanded that Lin Yi return Xiao Wu and Tang Hao challenged Lin Yi to battle.
• Lin Yi fought Tang Hao with his Soul Skills, endured three Clear Sky Hammer strikes, and wounded Tang Hao with an Ice Thunder Thorn.
• Tang Hao declared Lin Yi the winner, told Tang San to defeat him fairly, and left with his son; Lin Yi collapsed and received treatment.
• Over the following six months, Lin Yi resumed training as the factions prepared for war and the Clear Sky Sect remained neutral.
• A bloodstained report announced that more than a million troops had invaded the Heaven Dou Empire from the Star Luo border and that Pope Bibi Dong would lead Spirit Hall’s elders to the front lines.

Ning Fengzhi and Lin Yi rushed to Zhennan Pass as Spirit Hall’s overwhelming army prepared to invade, then refused Bibi Dong’s offer to submit. Bibi Dong ordered her nine elders to attack, and the battle for the pass began.

• Ning Fengzhi ordered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to mobilize and led Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, the Golden Iron Triangle, and Lin Yi toward the front.
• Ning Fengzhi’s group reached Zhennan Pass and learned Spirit Hall had nine Titled Douluos with Bibi Dong at its head.
• Bibi Dong appeared before the pass and offered to spare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect if Ning Fengzhi submitted to Spirit Hall.
• Ning Fengzhi rejected Bibi Dong’s offer, and the soldiers at the pass vowed to fight to the death.
• Bibi Dong ordered her nine elders to attack, and they charged the defenders and the Heaven Dou army.

Ning Fengzhi boosted the defenders as Spirit Hall's nine elders attacked, and Lin Yi helped shield the pass while wounding Ghost Leopard Douluo. The battlefield briefly stabilized, but Bibi Dong gathered a far more formidable attack and aimed it at Ning Fengzhi.

• Ning Fengzhi used the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to enhance Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, the Golden Sacred Dragon, and Lin Yi.
• Chen Xin grievously wounded one elder, while Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and the Golden Sacred Dragon tied up other attackers.
• Lin Yi raised the Thousand Jun Barrier to protect Ning Fengzhi and the pass from two elders' area attacks.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo slipped inside the barrier and attacked Ning Fengzhi, but Lin Yi protected him and wounded the attacker with coordinated Soul Skills.
• Lin Yi's defense helped stabilize the battlefield as Bibi Dong raised her Pope Scepter and gathered a destructive attack aimed at Ning Fengzhi.

Bibi Dong’s attacks failed to kill Lin Yi or break Ning Fengzhi’s new defensive shield, so she turned the battle against the Heaven Dou side’s other fighters. After Lin Yi saved Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong seized Yu Xiaogang and withdrew with him, leaving the survivors wounded and facing a rescue mission in Spirit City.

• Bibi Dong struck at Ning Fengzhi with Eternal Wound, but Lin Yi blocked the beam and endured its curse while protecting him.
• Bibi Dong attacked with Space-Rending Abyss Slash, but Ning Fengzhi revealed his level 83 breakthrough and used Nine Treasure Divine Light Protection to shield himself and Lin Yi.
• Bibi Dong unleashed her Death Spider Emperor True Body and three clones, overwhelming Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and the Golden Sacred Dragon.
• Chen Xin gravely wounded Iron Tower Elder with God and Demon Slash, Twin Blades, but the Golden Sacred Dragon’s fusion ended, and Lin Yi took three spider-leg strikes while saving Liu Erlong from a clone.
• Bibi Dong seized the exhausted Yu Xiaogang and announced that she would take him to Spirit City, then withdrew with her clones and the remaining Spirit Hall elders.
• The Heaven Dou survivors regrouped at Zhennan Pass, where Flender and Liu Erlong rushed to Lin Yi as Ning Fengzhi and the others struggled with their injuries.

After recovering from his wounds, Lin Yi joined Ning Fengzhi and the other leaders in planning to strengthen him so he could challenge Spirit Hall and rescue Yu Xiaogang. They traveled to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a 120,000-year-old Mystic Ice Flood Dragon for Lin Yi’s Ice Dragon Martial Soul, and the hunt began at its cold-pool lair.

• Lin Yi used his Snow Lotus Martial Soul, Ye Lingling’s healing, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s life energy to recover enough to move freely within three days, though Bibi Dong’s curse still weakened him.
• Ning Fengzhi held a confidential strategy meeting with Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, Flender, and Liu Erlong, and concluded that Lin Yi’s rapid growth offered their best chance against Spirit Hall.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo agreed to take Lin Yi to Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a powerful fourth Soul Ring for his Ice Dragon Martial Soul while Flender and Liu Erlong guarded the front line.
• Lin Yi led the group northwest to a cold pool where a 120,000-year-old Mystic Ice Flood Dragon lived, and the five prepared to attack it.

Lin Yi and the four seniors defeated a twelve-ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice Flood Dragon, allowing him to absorb its Soul Ring and reach the peak of Level 89. The group returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Branch Sect stronger, but the threat of Spirit Hall’s next offensive remained.

• Ning Fengzhi boosted Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and Lin Yi as they attacked the Mystic Ice Flood Dragon, and Chen Xin forced it out of the pool with God and Demon Slash.
• Chen Xin struck the dragon’s exposed vital point while Dugu Bo and Gu Rong restrained it, and Lin Yi finished it as it fell.
• Lin Yi absorbed the dragon’s Soul Ring over one day and night, reached peak Level 89, and gained Hundred-Mile Ice Seal and Ice Dragon Extreme Cold Slash.
• The group collected valuable parts from the dragon and returned safely to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Branch Sect, where Lin Yi’s growth lifted the sect’s spirits.
• The seniors recognized Lin Yi as the Heaven Dou Alliance’s strongest trump card after Chen Xin, while the group remained concerned about Spirit Hall’s next attack and Yu Xiaogang’s abduction.

Lin Yi defeated Sword Douluo Chen Xin in a closely matched trial, establishing himself as one of the continent’s peak fighters. Later, Liu Erlong tried to force him to rescue Yu Xiaogang, and Lin Yi coerced her into submitting to his control in exchange for promising to seek a chance to save him.

• Lin Yi and Chen Xin fought at the Trial Grounds, where Lin Yi used his Soul Skills to withstand Chen Xin’s attacks and land a precise counterstrike.
• Chen Xin praised Lin Yi as his equal in offense, defense, and Soul Skill mastery, stunning Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and the other spectators.
• Lin Yi continued training the Talent Hall while maintaining his close relationships with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Liu Erlong confronted Lin Yi and demanded that he help rescue Yu Xiaogang, threatening to accuse him of assault when he refused to promise an immediate rescue.
• Lin Yi overpowered Liu Erlong and demanded that she belong to him in exchange for seeking an opportunity to save Yu Xiaogang; she eventually agreed and left in tears.

Lin Yi traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to seek a fifth Soul Ring and joined Da Ming and Er Ming in hunting the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff. After absorbing its nearly three-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, he broke through to Level 91 and became a Titled Douluo, leaving him ready to face the threats ahead.

• Lin Yi left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Xiao Wu to ask Da Ming and Er Ming for help finding a suitable Soul Beast.
• Da Ming told Lin Yi about the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff near the Magma Rift Valley, a powerful enemy that had wounded him and threatened the Lake of Life.
• Lin Yi, Da Ming, and Er Ming attacked the mastiff, and Lin Yi landed the decisive strike after exploiting an opening in its defenses.
• Lin Yi absorbed the mastiff's Soul Ring over three days while Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming protected him.
• Lin Yi broke through to Level 91, became a Titled Douluo, and gained the Soul Skills Time Stasis and Hell Ice Flame.

After proving he could match Chen Xin and Gu Rong together, Lin Yi challenged Pope Bibi Dong and fought her to a draw. Bibi Dong withdrew Spirit Hall’s forces from Heaven Dou and promised not to invade for a hundred years, though she kept Yu Xiaogang and Lin Yi knew the conflict was not over.

• Lin Yi returned to the sect as a Level 91 Titled Douluo and defeated Chen Xin and Gu Rong’s combined efforts in a trial battle.
• Lin Yi and Ning Fengzhi sent Bibi Dong a challenge to settle their conflict in a duel outside Zhennan Pass, and Bibi Dong accepted.
• Lin Yi and Bibi Dong fought across the plain, with Lin Yi surviving her Rakshasa Demon Scythe strike by meeting it with a concentrated attack.
• Bibi Dong ended the battle without a victor and ordered Spirit Hall’s forces to withdraw from Heaven Dou, promising not to invade for a hundred years while retaining Yu Xiaogang.
• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing helped the wounded Lin Yi, who recognized that the truce only gave Heaven Dou time to prepare for the next conflict.
