Chapter Summaries

Tang San discovered that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul had disappeared, and Tang Hao planned to take him to the Star Dou Great Forest for Spirit Rings before seeking help at the Blue Silver Ancestral Land. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang arrived in Spirit City to ask Bibi Dong for Twin Martial Soul cultivation secrets, while Bibi Dong read a booklet detailing his dark history and grew furious.

• Tang San failed to summon his Blue Silver Grass martial soul and questioned whether Yu Xiaogang's martial soul theory had been wrong.
• Tang Hao told Tang San that his mother denied being his mother and blamed him for losing his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline.

• Yu Xiaogang used Tang Hao's token to gain entry to Pope's Palace and seek Bibi Dong's help with cultivating Twin Martial Souls.
• Bibi Dong read Xiao Tian's Black Booklet about Yu Xiaogang and became visibly enraged.

Qian Renxue sent Bibi Dong a black booklet revealing Yu Xiaogang’s past and learned Tang San had twin martial souls. As Yu Xiaogang came to ask Bibi Dong for a method to cultivate them, she already knew Tang San’s second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer and realized Tang Hao had begun targeting Spirit Hall’s gifted students.

• Qian Renxue read Xiao Tian’s black booklet, grew confused about Bibi Dong’s history with Yu Xiaogang, and sent the booklet to Bibi Dong after learning Tang San needed help cultivating twin martial souls.
• Yu Xiaogang entered Pope’s Palace to see Bibi Dong, who rebuked him for calling her Dong’er and forced him to address her as Your Holiness.
• Bibi Dong recognized that Yu Xiaogang had come to ask for a twin-martial-soul cultivation method and recalled discovering Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass, innate full soul power, and connection to Tang Hao.
• Bibi Dong realized Tang San’s second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer and that his Blue Silver Grass concealed an unawakened Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
• Bibi Dong recalled that she had spared Tang Hao out of gratitude, but recent killings of Spirit Hall’s talented students had made her unwilling to tolerate his actions.

Yu Xiaogang asked Bibi Dong for her Twin Martial Souls cultivation method so he could help Tang San, but she exposed his real motive and demanded Tang San choose Spirit Hall over Tang Hao. After Yu Xiaogang refused to leave, Bibi Dong struck him and had guards drag him out, then wondered how she could verify the accusations recorded in the Black Booklet.

• Yu Xiaogang asked Bibi Dong to share her experience cultivating Twin Martial Souls, claiming he needed it for his research.
• Bibi Dong suspected Yu Xiaogang wanted the method for Tang San and tricked him into revealing that Tang San had a second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Bibi Dong cited Tang San's connection to the Strength Clan and his ties to Tang Hao, then demanded that Tang San sever ties with his father and join Spirit Hall before she would give Yu Xiaogang the method.
• Yu Xiaogang protested that Bibi Dong was going too far and insisted she would not attack him, so she blasted him into the palace doors and ordered guards to remove him.
• Bibi Dong reflected that she had secretly protected Yu Xiaogang and contained the fallout from his exposed theories, then worried that the Black Booklet's claims were difficult to verify.

Bibi Dong gave up investigating her private matter, while Dugu Bo reassured Xiao Wu and the others that Xiao Tian was cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San gained his first Clear Sky Hammer Soul Ring and planned to pursue powerful Soul Rings and soul bones before returning to the Promotion Tournament.

• Bibi Dong decided to investigate her private matter alone, and Yu Xiaogang left Pope's Palace after she took back the token.

• Tang San hoped to gain soul bones and still planned to defeat Xiao Tian in the Soul Master Competition.

Tang San strengthened his Clear Sky Hammer by absorbing four powerful soul rings, including a Man-Faced Spider Emperor that gave him another Eight Spider Lances. The chapter ended with his hammer faintly glowing dark red as he struck the killing blow.

• Tang Hao accepted Tang San's plan to hunt soul beasts after Tang San argued that his Tang Sect skills and hidden weapons made up for his limited soul rings.
• Tang San absorbed a ten-thousand-year Heavy Armored Beetle King soul ring, gaining a single-target attack that ignored physical defenses.
• Tang San obtained a twenty-five-thousand-year Demon Dusk Deer soul ring and a fifty-thousand-year Man-Faced Spider Emperor soul ring within ten days.
• Tang San gained the Eight Spider Lances again from the Man-Faced Spider Emperor, though the battle left him seriously injured.
• Tang San killed the Man-Faced Spider Emperor with the Clear Sky Hammer, which briefly emitted a dark red glow.

Tang San absorbed a Thousand Jun Ant Emperor’s Soul Ring and gained the defensive Fifth Soul Skill Thousand Jun Bulwark. When he and Tang Hao tried to enter the Blue Silver Ancestral Land, Xiao Tian’s sword formation drove them away, leaving Tang Hao’s hidden injuries aggravated.

• Tang Hao and Tang San killed a Seventy Thousand Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, and Tang San absorbed its Soul Ring after they moved near the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Tang Hao and Tang San reached the Blue Silver Ancestral Land, where Tang Hao’s attempt to sense inside triggered Xiao Tian’s sword formation.
• Red Dragon Tooth and the hidden swords attacked, so Tang Hao used Clear Sky Bodyguard and detonated three Soul Rings to flee with Tang San.
• Tang Hao’s Soul Detonation Ring stirred his hidden injuries, and he told Tang San that only a Soul Douluo-level Healer Soul Master could treat them.

Tang Hao told Tang San that his past actions had harmed the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang San agreed to return and make amends after the Soul Master Competition. At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang recounted Bibi Dong’s attack, while Liu Erlong’s unexpectedly calm reaction made Flender and Yu Xiaogang suspect something was off about her.

Xiao Tian returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy after helping Ah Yin reach the hundred-thousand-year level, reuniting with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. He and Xiao Wu spent the night together, and she discovered the next morning that her Soul Power Level had reached rank fifty.

• Liu Erlong wondered whether the small black booklet Bibi Dong had read was Xiao Tian's record of Yu Xiaogang's dark history.

• Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu spent the night together, and Xiao Wu woke to find that she had reached rank fifty.

After Xiao Wu reached rank fifty, Xiao Tian urged her to choose a Fifth Soul Skill other than Soft Bone Lock and suggested an All Stats Boost. Xiao Wu began condensing her Fifth Soul Ring while Xiao Tian released the three little ones from his Mental Space.

• Xiao Wu told Xiao Tian she had broken through to rank fifty but had not yet condensed her Soul Ring.
• Xiao Tian advised Xiao Wu against choosing Soft Bone Lock because it was ineffective against opponents more than five ranks stronger and required close contact.
• Xiao Wu teased Xiao Tian about his jealousy, then agreed to choose a different skill.
• Xiao Tian suggested that Xiao Wu try to create an All Stats Boost, or focus on boosting attack, strength, and speed if that proved difficult.
• Xiao Wu sat down and began condensing her Fifth Soul Ring, and Xiao Tian released the three little ones from his Mental Space.

Xiao Wu completed her twenty-thousand-year Fifth Soul Ring and gained Soft Bone Sublimation, while Xiao Tian discussed his plans to establish a sect with Qian Renxue. Their conversation ended with Xiao Tian explaining that he had chosen Heaven Dou Royal Academy mainly to compete in the Soul Master Competition and intended to leave after it ended.

• Xiao Wu condensed her Fifth Soul Ring and gained Soft Bone Sublimation, which increased her strength, speed, defense, and Soul Power recovery by two hundred percent.

• Xiao Tian told Qian Renxue that he had joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy to compete in the Soul Master Competition and planned to leave after it ended.

Qian Renxue questioned Xiao Tian about his loyalties and learned that he would keep his sect independent, even opposing Spirit Hall if it tried to control him. After he left, she decided to reveal herself by challenging him and planned to find Bibi Dong once they reached Spirit City.

• Qian Renxue asked Xiao Tian whether his sect would support the Heaven Dou Empire or Spirit Hall, and he said he would stay out of wars and defend his sect from either side.
• Xiao Tian told Qian Renxue that he would persuade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to stop supporting the empire and would fight Spirit Hall rather than become its subordinate.
• Qian Renxue asked whether Xiao Tian would submit to a powerful female Soul Master who defeated him, but he refused to agree without knowing her and setting his own terms.

• Qian Renxue told Bibi Dong that Xiao Tian was a Soul Emperor and argued that Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill might not overcome his sword cultivation and Dugu Yan's poison.
• Bibi Dong decided to wait until Heaven Dou Royal Team's first match to judge their strength, and Qian Renxue left without learning why Bibi Dong disliked her.

• Tang San questioned Xiao Tian about why he had not watched the Promotion Tournament, and Xiao Tian said it would have been meaningless given his strength.
• Huo Wu confronted Xiao Tian over his arrogance, and Xiao Tian asked whether she knew why he had fought Shrek Team in their practice match.

Huo Wushuang suggested that Huo Wu try using Soul Fusion Ring on her Third Soul Skill to broaden Repelling Fire Ring and improve its control, giving her a possible strategy against stronger teams. At the Spirit City tournament, Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou Royal, and Star Luo drew lots, leaving Xie Yue uneasy about the championship stakes and the prospect of Death Canyon.

• Xiao Tian told Huo Wu he had revealed his Soul King cultivation deliberately to make the upcoming competition more interesting, then entered the arena with his team.
• Huo Wushuang told Huo Wu their team had little chance against Heaven Dou and reflected that his sister’s Soul Fusion Ring talent gave her an advantage he lacked.
• Huo Wushuang suggested that Huo Wu use Soul Fusion Ring on her Third Soul Skill to expand Repelling Fire Ring’s range and raise the level of opponents it could affect.
• Huo Wu realized she had never tried applying Soul Fusion Ring to a different soul skill and became interested in testing her brother’s idea.
• Xie Yue, Xiao Tian, and Dai Weisi drew lots for the final tournament; Dai Weisi disliked his team’s likely route, while Xie Yue felt relieved that Spirit Hall would meet Heaven Dou only in the top-three match.
• Xie Yue grew anxious that Spirit Hall might lose the champion’s three Spirit Bones and that he and his teammates could be sent to Death Canyon.

Xiao Tian warned Dai Weisi not to threaten Zhu Zhuqing, claiming Dugu Bo had become a Super Douluo and could devastate the Star Luo Empire. After Dai Weisi retreated, Zhu Zhuqing saw Zhu Zhuyun again and reflected sadly on the brutal imperial succession system.

• Dai Weisi threatened Xiao Tian by pointing out that Zhu Zhuqing could be punished if Dai Mubai failed, but Xiao Tian retorted that Zhuqing could defeat Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun together.
• Xiao Tian privately warned Dai Weisi that Dugu Bo would poison the Star Luo imperial family if they harmed Zhuqing's parents, and revealed that Dugu Bo was now a Super Douluo.
• Dai Weisi noticed Dugu Bo's changed appearance and, frightened by his strength, left without pursuing his threat against Zhuqing.
• Zhu Zhuyun wondered why Dai Weisi looked pale and soaked with sweat, then exchanged a disdainful look with Zhu Zhuqing, who turned away.
• Zhu Zhuqing mourned her changed relationship with Zhu Zhuyun and questioned the Star Luo Empire's deadly succession rules, until Xiao Tian noticed her distress and asked what was wrong.

Xiao Tian comforted Zhu Zhuqing after she felt conflicted about seeing her sister on the Star Luo Royal Team, suggesting her sister’s harsh attitude and repeated assassination attempts may have been meant to protect and temper her. Zhu Zhuqing recalled how Dai Weisi had defeated the Star Luo Second Prince and her second sister, only for them to be killed after their exile.

• Xiao Tian noticed Zhu Zhuqing’s low mood and took her aside to ask whether seeing her sister had upset her.
• Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong quietly guessed that Zhu Zhuqing’s mood was tied to the Star Luo Empire, while Dugu Bo assured them that he would protect her family.
• Zhu Zhuqing told Xiao Tian that her sister had grown distant after Zhu Zhuqing’s engagement to Dai Mubai and that she had faced repeated assassination attempts.
• Xiao Tian suggested Zhu Zhuqing’s sister may have acted harshly to protect her from Dai Weisi and to force her to grow stronger.
• Zhu Zhuqing explained that Dai Weisi defeated the Star Luo Second Prince and her second sister, who were later killed after being exiled to a border territory.

Xiao Tian suggested that Zhu Zhuyun’s pursuit of Zhu Zhuqing might have secretly protected her, and he offered Zhuqing the support of their companions. Reassured, Zhu Zhuqing let her guarded coldness fall and smiled genuinely, while Zhu Zhuyun watched and wondered what Xiao Tian had said.

• Zhu Zhuqing recalled how her family’s ruthless response to the Second Prince’s death had forced her to become strong and led her to seek Dai Mubai’s help.
• Xiao Tian proposed that Zhu Zhuyun may have pretended to pursue Zhu Zhuqing while clearing dangers from her path to the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Zhu Zhuqing reconsidered her escape and asked Xiao Tian whether her sister’s pursuit had concealed another motive.
• Xiao Tian promised to accompany Zhu Zhuqing to ask Zhu Zhuyun privately and offered her and her sister a home with the Shushan Sword Sect.
• Zhu Zhuqing grew tearful, accepted Xiao Tian’s comfort, and smiled with the warmth of her younger self.
• Zhu Zhuyun saw Zhu Zhuqing’s smile, turned away to hide her tears, and wondered what Xiao Tian had said to her.

Xiao Tian and Zhu Zhuqing joined their teammates after the tournament draw, where they learned the Heaven Dou Royal Team would face Blazing Fire Team first. Feng Xiaotian came to encourage Huo Wu and probe Xiao Tian’s strength, leading Xiao Tian to criticize Feng Xiaotian’s low IQ and EQ before challenging him about his Soul Power.

• Xiao Tian and Zhu Zhuqing rejoined Xiao Wu and Rongrong, who asked Zhu Zhuqing if she was all right.
• Dugu Bo pointed out Blazing Fire Team as the Heaven Dou Royal Team’s first opponent, and Huo Wu vowed to show Xiao Tian’s team their strength.

• Feng Xiaotian asked Xiao Tian to go easy on Huo Wu, angering her, while Xiao Tian judged Feng Xiaotian’s public plea to be embarrassing.
• Xiao Tian told Feng Xiaotian that his IQ and EQ were low, then asked about Feng Xiaotian’s innate Soul Power and current level; Feng Xiaotian said they were level ten and level 45.

Xiao Tian questioned Feng Xiaotian’s level and criticized the limits of his self-created Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes. Feng Xiaotian left troubled by the advice, while Xiao Tian explained to Dugu Yan why the technique would fare poorly against Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer.

• Xiao Tian pointed out that Feng Xiaotian was twenty-four and only Level 45 despite having Innate Full Soul Power, then contrasted him with Huo Wu, who was nineteen and Level 44.
• Feng Xiaotian defended his Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, and Xiao Tian warned that extending the technique or trying to use it after activating Martial Soul Avatar would be impractical.
• Feng Xiaotian realized that using the slashes with claws could make the stacked force rebound against him, and he dismissed a teammate who tried to defend the technique.
• Dugu Yan asked Xiao Tian about the technique’s potential, and Xiao Tian explained that its Beast Martial Soul and inferior wind blades would put Feng Xiaotian at a disadvantage against Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer.

The Heaven Dou Royal Team and Blazing Fire Team prepared to face each other as Xiao Tian's level 66 Soul Power shocked the tournament spectators. Huo Wu planned to risk combining her Soul Fusion Ring with her teammates' support, while Qian Renxue left to consult her grandfather about absorbing Angel Soul Bones early.

• Qian Renxue saw that Xiao Tian surpassed her level 62 Soul Power and left to find her grandfather so she could discuss absorbing Angel Soul Bones early.
• The host finished the introductions and stepped off the arena as the match was about to begin.
