Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong had grown up together as companions, with Bibi Dong devoted to caring for him and Xiao Yao training relentlessly before their martial soul awakening. On the day of the awakening, Bibi Dong worried that a weak martial soul or low Soul Power would leave her unable to stand beside him.

• Xiao Yao recalled how his grandfather, the Mighty Lion Douluo, had brought Bibi Dong from Spirit Hall's orphanage to become his maid and playmate.
• Over more than three years, Bibi Dong grew increasingly attached to Xiao Yao, while he appreciated her attentive care and the Mighty Lion Douluo was pleased by their companionship.
• Xiao Yao explained that he would keep training on the day of their martial soul awakening and planned to ask his grandfather to awaken their martial souls separately.
• Xiao Yao completed a strenuous weighted workout with Bibi Dong running beside him, astonishing her with his pre-awakening strength.
• As a healing-type Soul Saint treated them after training, Bibi Dong worried that a poor martial soul or low Soul Power would prevent her from helping Xiao Yao in future battles.

Bibi Dong awakened Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, while Xiao Yao awakened the powerful Golden Lion Mastiff. Xiao Yao’s Soul Power test ended with the crystal ball exploding, leaving his exact level unknown.

• Mighty Lion Douluo returned home and began the martial soul awakening for Bibi Dong and Xiao Yao.
• Bibi Dong awakened two spider martial souls and tested as having Innate Full Soul Power.
• Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong celebrated her talent and promised to help each other.
• Xiao Yao awakened the Golden Lion Mastiff, whose presence made Mighty Lion Douluo’s Blazing Lion martial soul feel fear and submission.
• Xiao Yao tested his Soul Power, and the crystal ball shone brighter than Bibi Dong’s before exploding.

Xiao Yao’s Martial Soul test revealed Innate Level-20 Soul Power and a strength close to a Soul Emperor’s, astonishing Mighty Lion Douluo and Bibi Dong. Mighty Lion Douluo then learned that Xiao Yao’s Domination Domain raised all his attributes by 300 percent and granted powerful immunities.

• Mighty Lion Douluo explained to Bibi Dong that God-Level Martial Souls could exceed the ordinary Innate Level-10 limit and praised Spirit Hall for awakening commoners’ Martial Souls.

• Mighty Lion Douluo said Xiao Yao’s attack power was close to a Soul Emperor’s, leaving him and Bibi Dong stunned.
• Xiao Yao told Mighty Lion Douluo that the Domination Domain increased all his attributes by 300 percent and made him immune to physical and mental control and mental pressure.

After Xiao Yao awakened the Golden Lion Mastiff Martial Soul and revealed its overwhelming stats and Talent Domain, Mighty Lion Douluo and Bibi Dong were left stunned. Xiao Yao persuaded Mighty Lion Douluo to investigate whether Whale Rubber could strengthen physiques, and the chapter ended with him leaving to arrange tests and inform Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile.

• Mighty Lion Douluo and Bibi Dong reacted in shock to Xiao Yao’s Martial Soul, its immense stats, and its control-immune Talent Domain.
• Xiao Yao released his Martial Soul Possession and decided that Whale Rubber and Immortal Herbs mattered more than seeking a teacher or rushing to obtain Soul Rings.
• Xiao Yao told Mighty Lion Douluo that his Martial Soul had revealed Whale Rubber could improve a Soul Master’s physique, with older Whale Rubber producing greater gains.
• Mighty Lion Douluo agreed to verify the claim because stronger physiques could let Spirit Hall’s Soul Masters absorb older Soul Rings and gain an advantage over rival factions.
• Mighty Lion Douluo postponed Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong’s Soul Ring hunt, told them to cultivate Spirit Hall’s meditation method, and hurried off to investigate Whale Rubber and tell Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile.

Mighty Lion Douluo told Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and Azure Luan that his grandchildren had awakened extraordinary Martial Souls. After learning that Xiao Yao possessed a god-tier Martial Soul with level-twenty Innate Soul Power, Qian Daoliu set out to meet him.

• Mighty Lion Douluo arrived at the Worship Hall and teased Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and Azure Luan about his grandchildren’s awakenings.
• Golden Crocodile and Azure Luan guessed that Mighty Lion Douluo’s grandson had awakened a high-level Blazing Lion Martial Soul.
• Mighty Lion Douluo revealed that Dong'er had awakened the Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eater Spider Emperor as Twin Martial Souls with Innate Full Soul Power.
• Mighty Lion Douluo announced that Xiao Yao had awakened the Golden Lion Mastiff Martial Soul with level-twenty Innate Full Soul Power and the potential to become a god.
• Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and Azure Luan reacted with shock, and Qian Daoliu summoned his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and proposed meeting Xiao Yao.

Qian Daoliu tested Xiao Yao’s Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul and realized its power surpassed even the Six-Winged Angel. He appointed Xiao Yao Spirit Hall’s Holy Son, arranged extensive protection and resources for him, and asked to become his master.

• Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and Azure Luan arrived to see Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu praised Bibi Dong’s Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.
• Xiao Yao summoned his Golden Lion Mastiff, whose aura showed no fear of Qian Daoliu’s Six-Winged Angel and seemed eager to fight it.

• Qian Daoliu granted Xiao Yao the highest priority for Spirit Hall’s resources and appointed Bibi Dong Holy Maiden with the next-highest priority.
• Qian Daoliu gently asked Xiao Yao to accept him as his master.

Xiao Yao became Qian Daoliu’s disciple, and Spirit Hall confirmed that Whale Rubber could strengthen a soul master’s physique and raise their soul-ring absorption limit. After Qian Daoliu used Spirit Hall’s vast reserves to test Xiao Yao, the chapter left the Elders astonished by his ability to absorb huge amounts of Whale Rubber and withstand a 26,000-year soul ring.

• Xiao Yao absorbed Whale Rubber up to 100,000 years old, recovered with the Elders’ healing abilities, and reached a physique capable of supporting a 26,000-year soul ring.

After Xiao Yao absorbed 280,000-year Whale Rubber, the Worship Hall tested his strength and began searching Star Dou Forest for his first soul beasts. The chapter ended when Qian Daoliu and Xiao Yao reached Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had found a golden soul beast.

• Xiao Yao absorbed Whale Rubber exceeding 100,000 years old for more than two days, and his physical strength rose to the point that he could withstand a 41,000-year soul ring.
• Qian Daoliu tested Xiao Yao's attack power, which approached that of a Soul Douluo, and explained that soul shock from beasts below 100,000 years would not affect him.
• Qian Daoliu assigned the Worship Hall to find Xiao Yao two suitable super soul beasts around 40,000 years old and arranged a separate search for Bibi Dong's first soul beast.
• Qian Daoliu and the four great worship elders entered Star Dou Forest with Xiao Yao and searched the mixed zone for suitable soul beasts.
• Half a month later, Qian Daoliu followed a signal to Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had found a soul beast with a completely golden body.

Xiao Yao absorbed a forty-thousand-year Golden Behemoth soul ring and gained a powerful first soul skill. After resting, he and Qian Daoliu resumed their search for his next soul beast.

• Golden Crocodile found a Golden Behemoth, and he, Qian Daoliu, and Xiao Yao carried it to the outer region.
• Xiao Yao killed the Golden Behemoth and began absorbing its soul ring, while its spiritual form was crushed in his Sea of Consciousness.
• After several hours, Xiao Yao completed the absorption and discovered that his first soul skill, Blood Stains Mountains and Rivers, increased all attributes by three hundred percent and converted nearby enemies’ blood into Soul Power, spiritual power, and stamina.
• Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo were shocked by the skill’s strength and sustained recovery effect.
• After resting, Qian Daoliu set off with Xiao Yao to search for another soul beast, while Golden Crocodile headed in a different direction.

Qian Daoliu and the other Worship Hall elders found a divine-beast Golden Xuanwu for Xiao Yao’s second soul ring. After absorbing it, Xiao Yao revealed a powerful golden armor soul skill and marveled at its appearance.

• Qian Daoliu told Golden Crocodile that Xiao Yao could now withstand a soul ring of up to sixty-three thousand years, and the elders spent months searching for a suitable divine beast.
• Xiao Yao sensed his Golden Lion Mastiff reacting to a deep lake, so Qian Daoliu investigated and summoned Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi for support.
• Qian Daoliu found a sixty-two-thousand-year Golden Xuanwu buried thirteen thousand meters beneath the lake and brought it to the surface.
• Xiao Yao absorbed the Golden Xuanwu as his second soul ring while Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi guarded him.
• Xiao Yao used his second soul skill and formed golden armor, which he recognized as Emperor Armor and praised as powerful and impressive.

Xiao Yao discovered that his second soul skill, Golden Verdict: Eternal Suppression of Mountains and Rivers, gave him powerful armor and extraordinary damage reduction. After his attack nearly reached Title Douluo strength and Qian Daoliu’s test barely hurt him, the group saw just how formidable his carefully developed Golden Lion Mastiff had become.

• Xiao Yao explained that his second soul skill increased all attributes by three hundred percent and drastically reduced incoming damage while his Soul Power lasted.

• Qian Daoliu punched Xiao Yao to test the armor, and the soul skill reduced the attack so much that Xiao Yao felt almost no pain.

After returning to Spirit Hall, Xiao Yao reunited with Bibi Dong and began training under Qian Daoliu to understand and control their martial souls. A year passed in disciplined study, and Qian Daoliu arranged for Xiao Yao to meet Yue Guan to learn about Immortal Herbs.

• Qian Daoliu arranged for Xiao Yao to meet Yue Guan, Spirit Hall's sole authority on Immortal Herbs, after Xiao Yao expressed interest in learning about them.

Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong spent the evening together before training, where she questioned how quickly he was improving and he explained his view of physical strength and intelligence. After reflecting on Qian Daoliu’s support and the Worship Hall elders, Xiao Yao went out to meet Yue Guan, who arrived nervously after Qian Daoliu personally summoned him.

• Xiao Yao held Bibi Dong’s hand on their walk home, making her blush and accuse him of bullying her.
• During their training, Bibi Dong asked why Xiao Yao’s reflexes and progress were so much stronger than hers, and he attributed it to the Golden Lion Mastiff strengthening the brain along with the body.
• Xiao Yao defended Qian Daoliu as a principled man whose intelligence did not make him flexible, and he resolved to repay the support Qian Daoliu and the Worship Hall elders had given him.
• A maid told Xiao Yao that Yue Guan had come to see him, and Xiao Yao immediately went to the estate gate.
• Yue Guan nervously recalled that Qian Daoliu had personally ordered him to visit the Holy Son, and the gate opened as he waited outside.

Xiao Yao obtained Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan’s inherited knowledge of Immortal Herbs and learned that Spirit Hall had located a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Forest. With Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi gathered, the party set out to hunt it for Xiao Yao’s third soul ring.

• Xiao Yao welcomed Yue Guan, gave him pastries, and asked about Immortal Herbs.

• Xiao Yao and Yue Guan discussed flowers before Qian Daoliu arrived and reported that Spirit Hall had found a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in a remote canyon.
• Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi joined Xiao Yao and Qian Daoliu, and the group departed for the Star Dou Forest.

Yue Guan resolved to win favor with Xiao Yao by sending him flowers, while Bibi Dong cultivated to catch up with him. Xiao Yao killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and began absorbing its soul ring, but a strange Black Bead was swallowed by his Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul, leaving the others to wait and see what would happen.

• Yue Guan decided to cultivate flowers for Xiao Yao after realizing Bibi Dong was close to him, and Bibi Dong returned to meditating so she could catch up with Xiao Yao.
• Qian Daoliu warned Xiong Shi to keep Xiao Yao far from the canyon while he, Golden Crocodile, and Qingluan attacked the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• After seeing the safety signal, Xiong Shi brought Xiao Yao into the canyon, where Qian Daoliu had subdued the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Xiao Yao killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and began absorbing its black soul ring.
• A Black Bead appeared and tried to escape, but Xiao Yao's Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul swallowed it.
• Qian Daoliu judged that the martial soul was of a higher order than the Black Bead, and the group guarded Xiao Yao while he continued absorbing the soul ring.

Xiao Yao absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and gained a powerful External Soul Bone whose skill could restore him to a previously recorded state. After learning to fly with his new wings, he prepared to demonstrate his third Soul Ring skill.

• Xiao Yao absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Power as his Golden Lion Mastiff Martial Soul transformed its Black Bead into energy for his third Soul Ring and an External Soul Bone.
• Xiao Yao manifested the Black Feather Golden Thread Wings and revealed that their Mountains and Rivers Remain skill let him return to a recorded state, with a half-hour cooldown that Soul Power could reduce.

• Xiao Yao tried to fly, crashed into a tree, and then learned to control his wings with help from Qian Daoliu and Azure Luan.
• Xiao Yao flew through the sky alongside Qian Daoliu and Azure Luan, then landed to demonstrate his third Soul Ring skill.

Xiao Yao revealed that his third Soul Skill, Rivers and Mountains as a Painting—Walking Within the Painting, let him move his true body into a personal space and avoid attacks while boosting all attributes by three hundred percent. He considered how the space might grow and planned to test whether he could move the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well into it.

• Xiao Yao activated his third Soul Skill and asked Qingluan Douluo to attack him.
• Qingluan Douluo's punches passed through Xiao Yao, and Qian Daoliu could not sense his presence even after activating Angel Descent.
• Xiao Yao explained that he had moved his true body into his own space and projected himself outside, and described the skill's duration and threefold attribute boost.
• Xiao Yao reflected that the skill's spatial power came from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Death Arena and considered how his Soul Bone Skill could restore his Soul Power and reduce its cooldown.
• Xiao Yao wondered whether his personal space could absorb the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well or Dragon Valley, and decided to first test whether he could move the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Xiao Yao tested his third soul skill against Qian Daoliu’s strongest attacks, proving it could nullify even Super Douluo-level damage. After the group considered a Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor for his fourth soul ring, they prepared to return, while Xiao Yao looked forward to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and its Immortal Herbs.

• Xiao Yao asked Qian Daoliu to test whether his third soul skill could withstand attacks of increasing power.
• Qian Daoliu escalated from physical strikes to a Martial Soul Avatar energy attack, but Xiao Yao remained unharmed.
• Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Mighty Lion praised the skill and discussed the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor’s Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body as options for Xiao Yao’s fourth soul ring.
• Xiao Yao agreed that the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor suited him, and Qian Daoliu noted that its skills might evolve under the Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul.
• Qian Daoliu declared the mission complete and led the group back after Xiao Yao gained a nearly seventy-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring and the Black Feather Golden Thread Wings.
• Xiao Yao thought about repaying the group with Immortal Herbs and wondered whether his third soul skill could absorb the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Xiao Yao returned to the Worship Hall and took Bibi Dong out to enjoy a break in Spirit City. His affectionate gestures left Bibi Dong flustered, while the cotton candy vendor received the chance to sell from one of Xiao Yao's family shops.

• Mighty Lion Douluo brought Xiao Yao back to the courtyard, where Bibi Dong was training despite it being her scheduled rest time.
• Xiao Yao reminded Bibi Dong to rest and took her by the hand to stroll around Spirit City.

• Xiao Yao arranged for the vendor to sell cotton candy outside one of his family's vacant shops because it had made Bibi Dong happy.
• Bibi Dong blushed at Xiao Yao's words, and the vendor decided to prepare fresh lion and spider cotton candies for them each morning.
