Chapter Summaries

Six-year-old Wang Xiaofei reflected on his life as a transmigrator in Douluo Continent and prepared for his Martial Soul Awakening. With Master Su Yuntao due to arrive in three days, Xiaofei worried that poor results would leave him farming in Holy Soul Village.

• Wang Xiaofei worried that he might awaken no Innate Soul Power, while Old Jack suggested he could stay in the village and inherit the village chief position.

Xiao Fei watched the village children’s martial soul awakenings and discovered that he had a Fire Phoenix martial soul with innate soul power level eight. He rejected Su Yuntao’s offer to join Spirit Hall Academy, then began investigating his impure phoenix flames and the strange feeling that he had a second martial soul.

• Old Jack asked why Xiao Fei had refused the academy, and Xiao Fei explained that he had other goals and wanted room to develop independently.
• Xiao Fei summoned his Fire Phoenix and sensed that its flames were impure, while also feeling that his right hand concealed a second martial soul.

Over nearly three months, Xiaofei trained, studied his two Martial Souls, and planned how to develop them. He and Tang San left Holy Soul Village with Old Jack to attend school, arriving at Nuoding Primary Academy.

• Tang San asked Old Jack basic questions about Soul Masters as the group traveled.
• Xiaofei, Tang San, and Old Jack arrived at the entrance of Nuoding Primary Academy around noon.

Wang Xiaofei and Tang San enrolled at Nuoding Academy after Yu Xiaogang confirmed their certificates and intervened with the gatekeeper. Xiaofei settled into Dormitory Seven, where Xiao Wu took charge, and received a basic Meditation Technique after his first class.

• Wang Xiaofei warned the gatekeeper that Spirit Hall could verify Tang San’s certificate, and Yu Xiaogang arrived to confirm both certificates were genuine.

Xiaofei built a demanding routine of exercise, study, blacksmithing, and meditation, then arranged to live and meditate at the blacksmith shop. After nearly half a year, he reached Soul Power Level Ten and faced the bottleneck that required a Soul Ring.

• Xiaofei began meditating and found that hard physical training and exposure to the Fire Element seemed to improve his cultivation.
• Xiaofei applied to work at Iron Bull's blacksmith shop and earned a place as an apprentice after forging a piece of pig iron.

• Xiaofei received permission from the Director of Studies to move out of the dormitory and live at the blacksmith shop.
• Xiaofei followed his daily routine for nearly half a year and broke through to Level Ten, where he encountered a cultivation bottleneck requiring a Soul Ring.

After reaching level ten, Xiaofei joined the academy’s Soul Ring hunt and absorbed a Blazing Lion King’s nearly six-hundred-year-old ring, surviving with help from his Kirin Arm. The group continued deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest to search for Soul Rings for the other students.

• Xiaofei asked Nuoding Academy to help him find a roughly four-hundred-year-old Fire Attribute soul beast, and the Headmaster agreed to lead the hunt.
• The Headmaster, Wu Changqing, other teachers, and six students entered the Soul Hunting Forest and found Soul Rings for two students.
• The group encountered Blazing Lions, and Xiaofei chose the largest one as his first Soul Ring.
• The teachers trapped and killed the Blazing Lion, and Xiaofei began absorbing its yellow Soul Ring.
• The Headmaster realized the beast was a mutated Blazing Lion King nearly six hundred years old, but Xiaofei’s right arm absorbed some of the energy and helped him endure the ring.
• Xiaofei completed the absorption and said he felt well, so the group continued onward to hunt for the other students.

After completing the soul hunt, Xiaofei discovered that his first Soul Ring had strengthened his Fire Phoenix and right hand, and awakened a Blazing Lion King Palm External Soul Bone. The next morning, he registered as a Level 13 Soul Master at Spirit Hall and declined Master Ma Xiunuo’s offer to join its academy, choosing to stay with his current academy and family.

• Xiaofei celebrated his successful soul hunt with Iron Bull and the blacksmith shop workers, then examined his new abilities alone that night.

• Xiaofei sensed the Fire Phoenix's evil fire growing stronger with his soul power and worried about how to control it.
• After seeing Tang San, Xiaofei reasoned that he could transfer the evil fire to his External Soul Bone and began doing so.

• Wang Xiaofei reunited with Old Jack, while Tang San received a letter from his absent father and broke down in tears.
• Old Jack welcomed Tang San and Xiao Wu to dinner, then teased Xiaofei about returning with a girlfriend and happily tried on the clothes Xiaofei had brought him.

• Xiaofei described the pain of absorbing the Soul Ring but concealed his Twin Martial Souls and External Soul Bone, and Yu Xiaogang praised his use of the blacksmith shop for cultivation.

Yu Xiaogang examined Xiaofei, praised his talent, and offered to take him as a disciple, but Xiaofei chose to follow his own plans while continuing to seek Yu Xiaogang’s advice. Two years later, Xiaofei reached rank twenty, absorbed a nearly nine-hundred-year-old Fire Phoenix Soul Ring, and discovered a cache of Soul Tools and Gold Soul Coins with the principal and Director Wu.

• Yu Xiaogang identified Xiaofei’s Martial Soul as a Fire Phoenix, learned he had reached rank fifteen, and offered to train him, but Xiaofei declined discipleship while accepting Yu Xiaogang’s help with questions.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San about Xiaofei’s talent and warned that he might become Tang San’s rival, after which Tang San and Xiaofei began speaking more often.
• Two years later, Xiaofei reached rank twenty and asked the principal to help him obtain a Fire-attribute avian Soul Beast’s Soul Ring.
• The principal and Director Wu helped Xiaofei ambush a Fire Phoenix near a volcanic region, and Xiaofei successfully absorbed its nearly nine-hundred-year Soul Ring despite the principal’s concerns.
• Xiaofei, the principal, and Director Wu searched the Fire Phoenix’s nest, found three Soul Tools and about eight thousand Gold Soul Coins among the remains, divided the finds, and agreed to keep them secret.

After returning to Holy Soul Village, Xiaofei assessed his strengths and weaknesses, then went to Suotuo City to improve his combat skills at the Great Spirit Arena. After three months of matches, he reached level twenty-seven and prepared to train in the Fire Maple Forest, where he also hoped to find opportunities involving Immortal Herbs.

• Xiaofei returned to Holy Soul Village with Tang San and Xiao Wu, then resolved to improve his combat skills and obtain the Immortal Herbs before Tang San did.

• Xiaofei disguised himself, bought Whale Rubber and Deep Sea Silver, and evaded the people following him before returning to his hotel.

• Xiaofei climbed to the volcanic crater and spotted an unusually powerful Earth Fire Lizard that seemed to attract his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.
• Xiaofei attacked the lizard, discovered it was a Two-Headed Earth Fire Lizard, and struggled for half an hour before dragging it from its hole.
• After a roar sounded beneath the magma, Xiaofei carried the barely living Two-Headed Earth Fire Lizard back to the Fire Phoenix Nest and began treating his injuries.

Xiaofei survived absorbing the unexpectedly powerful soul ring of a mutated Two-Headed Earth Fire Lizard, then recovered and reached level 35. After fighting in Heaven Dou City and searching for Dugu Bo, he went to Sunset Forest and waited for the poison mist to clear an opportunity to approach him.

• Xiaofei killed the Two-Headed Earth Fire Lizard and discovered its soul ring held the power of two beasts, making it a fourteen-thousand-year ring that nearly destroyed him during absorption.

• Dugu Bo left Sunset Forest two days before Xue Ye's birthday, and Xiaofei saw his chance to approach the center of the poison mist.

Xiaofei raided the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, tempered his body with its opposing energies, and returned to Holy Soul Village for the New Year before heading to Suotuo City. After consuming another Immortal Herb at the Rose Hotel, he waited for an easy-to-obtain opportunity.

• Xiaofei sealed himself inside an iron suit, entered the poisonous mist, and collected nearly every Immortal Herb around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Xiaofei stole the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from the cave behind Tang Hao’s waterfall, absorbed it, and gained a fourth soul ring from a Two-Headed Earth Fire Lizard. He left his nest for Skywater City, where he spotted the beautiful Skywater Academy team.

• Xiaofei traveled north toward the Elemental Academies, entered Skywater City, and saw the Skywater Academy team outside a restaurant.

• Xiaofei drew attention at an inn by eating messily, and Shui Bing'er offered to cover his meal before he asked about enrolling at Skywater Academy.

• Huo Lie introduced Xiaofei to the Blazing Team, where Xiaofei revealed his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul and four Soul Rings, astonishing the students with his Level 43 Soul Power.
• Huo Lie and Huo Tianchen examined Xiaofei and heard how he cultivated in the Fire Phoenix Nest, hunted Earth Fire Lizards, and ate a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
• Huo Tianchen identified the sunflower as a treasure that could evolve a Phoenix-bloodline Martial Soul, then arranged an investigation of the Fire Phoenix Nest and Earth Fire Lizard habitat.

Wang Xiaofei forged weighted gear and introduced weighted climbing and gravity training at Blazing Academy, prompting the academy to intensify its students’ regimen. Over the following half year, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang advanced rapidly, while Xiaofei remained out of the academy’s internal competitions and learned that his recorded age had been increased.

• Wang Xiaofei forged Deep Sea Silver wrist guards and two weighted vests, then continued his daily climbing, arena fights, and meditation.
