Qiangu Xiaoye offered his Hundred Thousand Year left arm bone to Ling Feng, but Ling Feng urged him to keep it and strengthen his newly advanced Titled Douluo realm. Tuoba Xi then sought help obtaining a high-year dragon-type Soul Ring, and Qianjun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo took him to hunt a seventy-thousand-year Abyssal Dragon Lizard in the sea.

Spirit Hall’s growing power alarmed the continent’s rulers and sects, while Qiangu Lingfeng advanced rapidly over the next four years. As Spirit Hall prepared to capture the transformed Blue Silver Emperor, Ling Feng’s father Qiangu Xiaoye departed with the expedition, and Ling Feng hoped he would return safely.

• Xue Ye, Dai Tianfeng, Ning Fengzhi, and Yu Yuanzhen learned that Tuoba Xi and Qiangu Xiaoye had become Titled Douluo and reacted to Spirit Hall’s growing strength.
• Xue Ye, Dai Tianfeng, and Ning Fengzhi prepared to visit Spirit Hall with congratulatory gifts, while Yu Yuanzhen ordered his clan not to provoke Spirit Hall.
• Four years later, eleven-year-old Ling Feng had reached Rank 58, Qian Renxue had reached Rank 53, and Jin Chen had obtained his fourth Spirit Ring.
• Spirit Hall decided to capture the transformed Blue Silver Emperor after Tang Hao’s relationship with her became known, and Ling Feng learned that Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, Qiangu Xiaoye, and Gui Mei would lead the expedition.
• Qiangu Xiaoye visited Ling Feng before leaving, and Ling Feng reminded him that he would need his help obtaining a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring after reaching Rank 60.

Ling Feng worried that the Spirit Hall party might fail to capture Tang Hao and Ah Yin, but Qian Daoliu assured him the operation was well prepared. When Qian Xunji and the others cornered the couple, Di Tian’s mark interrupted Ah Yin’s sacrifice, and an unknown power awakened in Tang Hao, allowing them to escape.

• Ling Feng questioned whether his father’s group could defeat Tang Hao, but Qian Daoliu said their strength made the operation nearly certain to succeed.

• An ancient power awakened in Tang Hao, who carried Ah Yin away in a golden streak while his blood-red aura repelled the four pursuers’ attacks.

Qian Xunji, Qiangu Xiaoye, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei retrieved Ah Yin after Tang Hao’s strange power forced them back, leaving Tang Hao unconscious in the forest. Ah Yin was taken to Spirit Hall’s dungeon, where Di Tian arrived and asked her what she had done wrong.

• Tang Hao’s scarlet power blasted the pursuers back before dissipating, and he collapsed while carrying Ah Yin away.
• Ah Yin agreed to return with Qian Xunji, Qiangu Xiaoye, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei after Qian Xunji assured her Tang Hao would survive.
• Tang Hao woke alone, discovered Ah Yin was gone, and cursed Spirit Hall while lamenting that his scheme to obtain her hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone had failed.
• Qiangu Xiaoye brought Ah Yin to Spirit Hall, where Ling Feng urged her to keep living and the guards locked her in the dungeon.
• After a day and night in the dungeon, Ah Yin faced Di Tian, who asked her where she had gone wrong.

Di Tian exposed Tang Hao’s possible motives to Ah Yin, who resolved to stay alive and see what their child became. Meanwhile, Lin Feng headed to Suotuo City to hunt Zhao Wuji and shut down the unauthorized Shrek Academy.

• Di Tian challenged Ah Yin’s belief that Tang Hao truly loved her and argued that Tang Hao had wanted her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• Di Tian told Ah Yin that Tang Hao had escaped and returned to take their baby, prompting her to rethink his motives and remember his questions about their child’s Twin Martial Souls.
• Ah Yin admitted she had been wrong, then decided to live so she could see what the child became and, if necessary, kill him herself.
• Lin Feng accepted a Spirit Hall order to hunt Zhao Wuji in Suotuo City and planned to close Shrek Academy and kill Flender.

Ling Feng, Qian Renxue, and Jin Chen traveled to Suotuo City to bring the wanted Zhao Wuji to justice. After hearing that Zhao Wuji and the wanted Soul Sage Flender had harmed villagers, they prepared to confront them.

• Qian Renxue disguised herself, and she and Jin Chen set out with Ling Feng and a retired Titled Douluo to find Zhao Wuji in Suotuo City.
• The narration described Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and Dugu Yan awakening powerful martial souls after taking Ling Feng's Immortal Herbs.
• Ling Feng criticized Sparta for Spirit Hall's pomp and urged him to serve commoners rather than flatter powerful people.
• Sparta reported that Zhao Wuji taught at Shrek Academy alongside the wanted Soul Sage Flender, and recounted their crimes against villagers.
• Ling Feng, Qian Renxue, and Jin Chen became angry and prepared to deal with Zhao Wuji and Flender.

Ling Feng, Qian Renxue, and Jin Chen arrived at Shrek Academy to arrest Zhao Wuji and found him beating a helpless old man. Ling Feng broke Zhao Wuji’s arm with one punch, and Flender, Shao Xin, and Li Yusong emerged as the confrontation continued.

• The group left the village with the captives bound in the carriage, and Jin Chen asked Ling Feng why Flender had started the academy.

Ling Feng and his companions found a village massacred by Fallen Soul Masters who were eating its people. He slaughtered the attackers and faced their leader, E Luo, whose Martial Soul collapsed under the Coiling Dragon Staff.

• Ling Feng said Spirit Hall existed to enforce the rules and vowed to bring corrupt Soul Masters and even the two empires to justice.
• The carriage stopped at a silent village, where Ling Feng, Jin Chen, and Qian Renxue discovered dozens of mutilated villagers and a pot of human remains.
• Ling Feng followed the sounds of laughter to a clearing, where more than twenty Fallen Soul Masters were feasting on human flesh.
• Ling Feng killed the Fallen Soul Masters with his Coiling Dragon Staff, leaving only E Luo alive.
• E Luo summoned his Martial Soul Possession and attacked Ling Feng, but the Coiling Dragon Staff struck down his Martial Soul.

Ling Feng and Qian Renxue defeated the evil soul masters and rescued Oscar, the sole survivor of a ruined village. They took the two-year-old boy with them toward Spirit City, planning to raise him until his Martial Soul awakening.

• Ling Feng ordered Bishop Solo to punish Zhao Wuji and Flender according to Spirit Hall regulations, and Solo had them taken away.
• Ling Feng brought Oscar home, introduced him as the girls’ younger brother, and entrusted him to Dugu Yan before going to Pope Hall with Qian Renxue and Jin Chen.
• Qian Xunji and the elders asked Ling Feng to weigh in on whether Spirit Hall should go to war after the Two Empires demanded a monopoly on refined salt and the destruction of cheap books.
• Ling Feng argued that Spirit Hall needed at least ten years to recruit unaffiliated soul masters and build legions before it could defeat the Two Empires while minimizing civilian deaths.
• Ling Feng declared that Spirit Hall’s refusal to start a full-scale war did not mean it feared the Two Empires.

Ling Feng planned to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with an Immortal Herb, while Spirit Hall prepared to display its strength at the sect's hundred-day banquet. At home, Qianjun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo began explaining the Qiangu Family's history and its conflict with the Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Ling Feng proposed that he, Xiaoxue, and Jin Chen attend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's hundred-day banquet, protected by Qiangu Xiaoye and Dugu Bo, and Qian Xunji approved the plan.
• Ling Feng told Qiangu Xiaoye that Spirit Hall could win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by using an Immortal Herb to help its Martial Soul evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Ling Feng returned home and joined Qiangu Xiaoye, Tuoba Yue'er, Tuoba Xi, Qianjun Douluo, and Falling Devil Douluo for a serious discussion.

• Qianjun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo said the Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had become wary of the Qiangu Family because its Coiling Dragon Staff was a top-tier Martial Soul.

Qiangu Xiaoye revealed the massacre that had destroyed the Qiangu Family and Ling Feng vowed to avenge its dead by targeting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect. Half a month later, Qiangu Xiaoye led Ling Feng and other Spirit Hall youths to Ning Fengzhi’s hundred-day celebration at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• At Vulture Peak, Ning Fengzhi welcomed guests to the celebration with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong standing behind him.

Spirit Hall arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s celebration with a valuable gift, drawing attention from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo delegations. At the banquet, Prince Xue Xing challenged Spirit Hall over its cheap salt and books, and Ling Feng defended its pricing before the argument turned to scholars’ livelihoods.

• Prince Xue Xing and Zhu Wuchang arrived with their delegations, exchanged gifts with Ning Fengzhi, and took their seats.
• Qiangu Xiaoye and Dugu Bo led Spirit Hall’s delegation to the celebration, where Qiangu Xiaoye presented Ning Fengzhi with a Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma.
• The guests watched Spirit Hall’s delegation warily as the banquet began, and Ling Feng noticed the hostility from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo tables.
• Prince Xue Xing questioned Spirit Hall’s intentions in selling Snowflake Salt and cheap books, and Ling Feng told him to speak directly.
• Ling Feng said Snowflake Salt cost ten copper coins per jin and challenged nobles who objected to the low price by recalling how salt merchants had charged ordinary people far more.
• A noble accused Spirit Hall of threatening scholars’ livelihoods with cheap books, and Ling Feng smiled as the dispute continued.

At Ning Fengzhi’s daughter’s hundred-day celebration, Ling Feng and Qiangu Xiaoye defended Spirit Hall’s cheap salt and books while exposing the nobles’ exploitation of commoners. After Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi silenced the confrontation, a Heaven Dou Empire Royal Consultant challenged Spirit Hall’s three young representatives to a fight.

• Ling Feng argued that Snowflake Salt and cheap printed books benefited commoners, while Qiangu Xiaoye condemned the nobles who profited from monopolies.
• Qiangu Xiaoye rejected accusations that Spirit Hall sought to unify the continent, saying it wanted commoners to live decent lives and would act only if bloodsucking nobles forced its hand.
• Ling Feng confronted Prince Xue Xing and several nobles with accusations of murder, abuse, and land seizure, leaving them unable to respond.

• Qiangu Xiaoye and Dugu Bo revealed their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, frightening Prince Xue Xing and the nobles into backing down.
• Qiangu Xiaoye warned Prince Xue Xing against using the sparring match to bully Spirit Hall’s younger generation, then invited Ling Feng to take the challengers.
• Leon introduced himself as a level fifty-six Soul King and attacked Ling Feng, who blocked his punch without moving and sent him back defeated.
• Zhu Yue of the Star Luo Empire introduced herself as a level fifty-seven Soul King and activated her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul to challenge Ling Feng.
