Chapter Summaries

Tang Hao and Tang San planned to revive the Clear Sky Sect through the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but Yu Xiaogang warned that Tang San might not grow strong enough to beat Spirit Hall Academy’s Golden Generation. Yu Xiaogang promised to take Tang San to a place that could rapidly improve his cultivation after Slaughter City, and Tang Hao decided to keep him alive until then.

• Tang Hao blamed Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Royal Family for the Clear Sky Sect’s destruction and swore revenge.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang Hao and Tang San that Tang San’s current cultivation made winning the Advanced Soul Master Tournament unlikely, especially against Ye Mu.
• Tang San insisted he could reach the Soul Emperor realm before the tournament and said he would enter Slaughter City to grow stronger.
• Yu Xiaogang promised to take Tang San somewhere that could rapidly improve his cultivation after he left Slaughter City.
• Tang Hao agreed to wait for Yu Xiaogang to reveal the place and told him to hide near Slaughter City rather than enter it.

Bibi Dong and Ye Mu arranged for Spirit Hall to expose Tang Hao and Tang San’s whereabouts, prompting soul masters across the continent to hunt them for rewards. Bai Chenxiang began broadcasting as a crowd surrounded the hotel where Tang Hao, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang were staying.

• Yu Xiaogang realized Tang Hao wanted to get rid of him and relied on information from a book to protect himself.
• Bibi Dong asked Ye Mu about issuing a continent-wide wanted notice for Tang Hao and Tang San, and he supported the plan.

• Soul masters rushed to hunt the remnants of Clear Sky Sect as Bai Chenxiang started a live broadcast from outside their hotel.
• Ye Mu and the others watched Bai Chenxiang’s broadcast as viewers urged her to film the crowd confronting Tang Hao’s group.

A crowd of soul masters surrounded Tang Hao, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang at their hotel, forcing them to break out and flee. As hundreds pursued them, Ye Mu and the others watched the live broadcast and doubted the three could escape.

• Soul masters quietly evacuated the hotel and surrounded Tang Hao, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang while the three rested, unaware of the danger.
• Tang San spotted the attackers with his Purple Demon Eye and warned Tang Hao that at least four hundred soul masters were outside.
• Tang Hao carried Yu Xiaogang through a window as Tang San smashed a path through the encirclement with his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang Hao hurled Tang San more than a hundred meters ahead, and the three broke free before the pursuing soul masters gave chase and attacked with soul skills.
• Bai Chenxiang followed the pursuit with her Live Broadcast, while Ye Mu told Qian Renxue and the others that the three would struggle to escape with Soul Saints among their pursuers.

Tang Hao and Tang San fled with Yu Xiaogang but were cornered by hundreds of soul masters, who tore the Spirit Bones from Tang Hao’s legs. Tang Hao detonated two Spirit Rings to break the encirclement and flew away with the others, while Ye Mu and Qian Renxue watched and questioned how long he could keep protecting them.

• Tang Hao carried the legless Yu Xiaogang while he and Tang San fled from hundreds of pursuing soul masters.
• The soul masters surrounded the three and attacked, forcing Tang Hao to fight while his wounds and exhaustion worsened.
• Several soul masters exploited an opening to cripple Tang Hao’s legs and take the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones from them.
• Tang Hao detonated two Spirit Rings, blasting apart the encirclement and sending nearby soul masters flying or killing them.
• Tang Hao formed temporary legs from Soul Power, grabbed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, and flew away as their pursuers continued after them.
• Ye Mu and Qian Renxue watched the broadcast and wondered how long Tang Hao could protect the others without his Spirit Bones.

Ye Mu concluded that Tang San could be killed without destroying the world, but chose to delay and spend time with the women instead. Tang Hao exhausted himself escaping with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, leaving the three injured and stranded in a forest.

• Ye Mu reasoned that killing Tang San would change future events but would not cause the world to collapse, and Qian Renxue and the others eagerly agreed he could be killed.
• Ye Mu closed the Live Broadcast Room and turned his attention to making a child with the women.
• Tang Hao flew through the night with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang while pursuing Soul Masters attacked them, then crashed into a forest after running out of Soul Power.
• Tang San found Tang Hao unconscious and badly wounded, cried over his father, and vowed to avenge him.
• Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to stop Tang Hao's bleeding, and Tang San used pills and medicinal powders before planning to find them a safe place to rest.

Tang San and Tang Hao hid in a cave in the Balak Kingdom’s Soul Hunting Forest while Bai Chenxiang watched them through the Live Broadcast Room. After Tang San learned that Spirit Hall had urged Soul Masters to hunt them nearby, Tang Hao coughed up blood, and Tang San said he could disguise them if he obtained the necessary materials.

• Tang San found a dry cave, fed himself and Yu Xiaogang, and began cultivating while Bai Chenxiang watched them from outside.
• Tang Hao told Tang San that his cultivation had fallen to the Soul Saint realm and warned him to be careful as he left to gather information.
• Tang Hao woke Yu Xiaogang and ordered him to boil water, so Yu Xiaogang used Luo Sanpao to leave the cave and gather supplies.
• Tang San returned and reported that they were in the Balak Kingdom’s Soul Hunting Forest and that Spirit Hall had called for Soul Masters to search for him and Tang Hao nearby.
• Tang Hao spat blood in anger, and Tang San said he could prevent them from being recognized if he found the required materials.

Tang San planned to disguise their identities so he, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang could escape the Soul Hunting Forest. Tang Hao brought him three captured Soul Masters, and Ye Mu suspected Tang San intended to use a method resembling an Evil Soul Master's.

• Tang San told Tang Hao he needed three people, regardless of their cultivation, to prepare materials that would keep others from recognizing them.
• Tang Hao left to find the people while Yu Xiaogang prepared bathwater and considered escaping from Tang Hao and Tang San when he could.
• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang they should recover after escaping and eventually make their way to Slaughter City.
• Bai Chenxiang explained Tang San's plan to Ye Mu in the Live Broadcast Room, and Ye Mu suspected the method was similar to an Evil Soul Master's.
• Tang Hao returned with three unconscious Soul Masters he had captured from the group hunting them and asked Tang San what to do next.

Tang San made Human-Skin Masks from the faces of three captured Soul Masters, horrifying Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, and the Live Broadcast Room viewers. Ye Mu explained Tang Sect’s methods and blamed Tang San for the future decline of ordinary people, then resolved to strengthen Spirit Hall and prevent that future.

• Tang Hao brought three Soul Masters to Tang San, who drugged them and skillfully peeled off their faces to make Human-Skin Masks.
• Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang were shocked by Tang San’s practiced, brutal method, while viewers condemned him in the Live Broadcast Room.
• Ye Mu explained that Tang Sect taught its disciples to make Human-Skin Masks and described the sect’s reliance on poison and Hidden Weapons.
• Ye Mu argued that Spirit Hall’s destruction led to commoners losing access to affordable martial-soul awakenings, schooling, and support, and vowed to prevent that future.
• A day later, Tang San finished the masks; he had killed the three Soul Masters and burned their heads.

Tang San used Human-Skin Masks to disguise himself, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang Hao so they could escape the Soul Hunting Forest. As Bai Chenxiang broadcast their actions and prepared to expose them, the disguised trio escaped unnoticed and planned to kill wealthy Soul Masters for money.

• Tang San reassured Yu Xiaogang that his Human-Skin Masks would disguise them convincingly, then fitted one on him and impressed both Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao with the result.
• Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang Hao put on the masks and left, unaware that Bai Chenxiang was secretly broadcasting and filming them.
• Book Friends reacted with disgust to the masks, while Spider Emperor Douluo announced that she had saved screenshots and would release them.
• Ye Mu discussed Bibi Dong going public with Qian Renxue in Star Luo City, while he waited to see what would happen to Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai.
• Tang Hao and the others escaped the Soul Hunting Forest without being recognized, and Tang San asked where they should go next.
• Tang Hao told them to find a city to recover in and kill wealthy Soul Masters along the way to obtain Gold Soul Coins.

Tang Hao, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang fled toward a city while Spirit Hall published wanted notices exposing their human-skin disguises. Ye Mu and the others tracked the fugitives through Bai Chenxiang’s Live Broadcast Room as Tang San prepared more masks and Tang Hao scouted for Spirit Bones.

• Tang Hao looted several Soul Masters for Gold Soul Coins and planned to find a Spirit Bone to help Yu Xiaogang move again.
• Spirit Hall issued wanted notices for Tang Hao, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang, revealing their disguised appearances and spreading the news across both empires.
• Ye Mu and the girls saw the notices while shopping, and Qian Renxue reported that Soul Masters from Soul Hunting Forest might recognize the fugitives.
• Bai Chenxiang’s Live Broadcast Room showed that Tang San and the others had rented a courtyard, while Tang San made more Human-Skin Masks from recently buried corpses.
• Qian Renxue learned that the wanted notices had reached the town, and Ye Mu expected Tang Hao, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang to flee again.
