Chapter Summaries

Yu Xiaogang persuaded Dai Mubai to consider either a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass Spirit Ring or a poison-type Spirit Ring, despite Dai Mubai’s doubts. Flender approved of the unconventional plans and believed Yu Xiaogang could help Dai Mubai break free of the Star Luo Imperial Family’s rigid cultivation traditions.

• Yu Xiaogang told Dai Mubai that a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass Spirit Ring might strengthen his White Tiger Martial Soul.
• When Dai Mubai questioned the idea, Yu Xiaogang proposed a poison-type Soul Beast, such as a Man Faced Demon Spider or Datura Snake, for his third Spirit Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang invoked Bibi Dong’s poison-type Spirit Rings to silence Dai Mubai’s objections, and Dai Mubai agreed to follow his teacher’s arrangements.
• Flender reflected that the Star Luo Imperial Family’s fixed Spirit Ring combinations limited its White Tiger Soul Masters and praised Yu Xiaogang for challenging that tradition.

• Flender brought Ma Hongjun to meet Yu Xiaogang, and Ma Hongjun was shocked to learn that the flat-topped man was a theoretical Grandmaster.
• Flender explained that Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire had stalled his cultivation and often made him lose control, then asked Yu Xiaogang to eliminate the danger.
• Ma Hongjun pleaded for help, and Yu Xiaogang pretended to ponder before confidently declaring that he had a solution.

Yu Xiaogang offered Ma Hongjun three ways to deal with his Evil Fire, but each proposal alarmed Ma Hongjun and Flender. The chapter ended with Flender taking Ma Hongjun away before he could try Yu Xiaogang’s suggestion to absorb an ice-attributed Spirit Ring.

• Yu Xiaogang proposed removing Ma Hongjun’s Trouble Root, shocking Ma Hongjun and embarrassing Flender.
• Yu Xiaogang suggested finding a rare Immortal Herb that could purify Ma Hongjun’s bloodline and evolve his Martial Soul, but Flender doubted he could obtain one.
• Yu Xiaogang advised Ma Hongjun to absorb an ice-attributed Spirit Ring to suppress his Evil Fire, even if his Phoenix Martial Soul degenerated into a chicken.
• Ma Hongjun feared the opposing energies would make him explode, while Flender worried the degeneration would ruin Ma Hongjun’s potential.
• Flender postponed the decision and dragged the stunned Ma Hongjun out of the cabin.

• After Snake Lance Douluo left, Xue Qinghe transformed from the crown prince into a beautiful woman with golden hair.

Qian Renxue learned that Tang San had arrived in Heaven Dou City and resolved to keep him under control. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi considered recruiting Tang San, while Chen Xin urged caution and Gu Rong advocated taking him by force or killing him.

Ning Fengzhi prepared to assess Tang San and eliminate him if he refused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Heaven Dou Royal Academy readied for Tang San and Xiao Wu’s enrollment.

• Qin Ming called Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the other students trash for struggling with twenty laps and praised Shrek Academy’s training.
