Wu Ling entered the Hell Slaughter Arena and won his first match by killing every opponent with his sword. After settling into Slaughter City, he slaughtered nearly a hundred Spirit Masters who targeted him and relied on his preparations to resist the city’s poison.

• Wu Ling was assigned to fight as Number 1314 and killed his first opponent before the other contestants could react.
• Wu Ling defeated the remaining eight fighters in under half a minute, piercing the Earth Rock Turtle’s defense and killing every opponent.
• The King of Slaughter watched Wu Ling’s swordsmanship and recognized its skill, while the Black-Veiled Woman decided that beginner protection was unnecessary for him.
• Wu Ling moved into an empty room in the inner city, where residents tried to capture or kill him because he seemed vulnerable.
• Wu Ling slaughtered nearly a hundred Spirit Masters to stop further attacks and used his mask, prepared food, and antidote pills to protect himself from Slaughter City’s poison.

Wu Ling continued winning in Slaughter City while Tang San returned to Nuoding Academy after a fruitless trip home. Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San a Mystic Grade Soul Art and left to seek a Heaven Grade method for him, leaving Tang San to cultivate during his absence.

• Wu Ling reached thirty-seven consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and used Transparency to keep his killing intent from affecting him.
• Xiao Wu persuaded Tang San to return to his village, but Tang Hao had already left and entrusted Yu Xiaogang with Tang San and an Elder Token.
• Tang San returned to the dormitory with Xiao Wu, and Yu Xiaogang gave him a Mystic Grade Soul Art that increased cultivation efficiency by ten percent.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San he planned to travel for over two months to obtain a Heaven Grade Soul Art and a method for cultivating Twin Martial Souls.
• Tang San agreed to practice the Mystic Grade Soul Art while Yu Xiaogang was away.

Yu Xiaogang arrived in Spirit City to meet Bibi Dong and obtain a Heaven Grade cultivation method, but the city’s unfamiliar Soul Tools drew his attention. He used his Elder Token to summon the Soul Martial Shop’s manager, whom he recognized as a Soul Douluo.

• Yu Xiaogang entered Spirit City while rehearsing how he would approach Bibi Dong and ask for a cultivation method.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned his carriage driver about Spirit Motor Vehicles, Bicycles, Soul Power Blocks, and Soul Tools.
• Yu Xiaogang examined the Soul Tools in his inn room, then decided to visit the Soul Martial Shop Main Store and make use of his Elder Token.
• Yu Xiaogang presented his Elder Token at the shop and asked to speak with the person in charge.
• The shop’s manager greeted Yu Xiaogang, who sensed that the man was stronger than Flender and identified him as a Soul Douluo.

Yu Xiaogang used a Clear Sky Sect Elder Token to try to obtain expensive Spirit Tools from the Soul Martial Shop, but the manager exposed his claim that the purchase was for Bibi Dong and brought him to the Pope Palace. There, Yu Xiaogang asked Bibi Dong for a Heaven-Tier Soul Art cultivation method, and she refused.

• The Soul Martial Shop manager showed Yu Xiaogang high-level Spirit Tools, but Yu Xiaogang could not afford their thirty-three-million-Gold-Soul-Coin price.

• Bibi Dong identified Yu Xiaogang's Elder Token as belonging to the Clear Sky Sect and asked what he wanted.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Bibi Dong for a Heaven-Tier Soul Art cultivation method, and she refused.

Bibi Dong rejected Yu Xiaogang’s requests for a cultivation method and advice on training a Twin Martial Soul disciple, while Xiao Fen’s Affection Elixir subtly amplified Bibi Dong’s positive feelings for Wu Ling. Yu Xiaogang’s attempt to persuade her ended with Bibi Dong revealing that she knew his disciple was Tang Hao’s son.

• Bibi Dong refused to give Yu Xiaogang the cultivation method unless he brought her secret techniques from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Clear Sky Sect, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Yu Xiaogang promised his disciple would never become an enemy of Spirit Hall.
• Bibi Dong laughed and asked whether Yu Xiaogang thought Tang Hao’s son would not become an enemy of Spirit Hall.
• Yu Xiaogang reacted in horror and asked how Bibi Dong knew his disciple’s identity.

Yu Xiaogang failed to obtain the Twin Martial Soul cultivation method or secure Spirit Hall’s protection, but Bibi Dong promised not to harm Tang San and Yu Xiaogang left believing she still cared for him. A year later, Wu Ling had become Slaughter City’s feared One-Blade Asura, and its rulers worried he might be the God of Slaughter foretold to destroy the city.

• Yu Xiaogang begged Bibi Dong to spare Tang San and offered his own life in exchange.
• Bibi Dong threatened Yu Xiaogang with her killing intent, then let him go and promised not to harm Tang San.

• After another year in Slaughter City, Wu Ling’s record reached ninety-five wins and he earned the title One-Blade Asura.
• The Black-Veiled Woman warned the King of Slaughter that Wu Ling’s swordsmanship had grown so dangerous that even a Title Douluo might struggle against him.
• The King of Slaughter and the Black-Veiled Woman suspected Wu Ling could be the God of Slaughter destined to bring disaster to Slaughter City.

After winning one hundred consecutive matches, Wu Ling rejected the King of Slaughter’s offer to become a God of Slaughter without taking the trial and chose to enter Hell Road. The King of Slaughter opened the path by sacrificing the arena’s spectators, and Wu Ling awakened on Hell Road’s starting platform.

• The King of Slaughter learned that One-Blade Asura had avoided Bloody Mary and ordered the Black-Veiled Woman to give him weaker opponents in his final matches.

• Wu Ling was pulled beneath the arena and regained consciousness on a small circular platform at Hell Road’s starting point.

• Wu Ling stored the Bat King’s corpse in his Storage Ring and proceeded toward the next trial.

Wu Ling defeated the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and claimed its Inner Core and gallbladder as he continued through Hell Road. He passed the final trials, reached the exit, and left Slaughter City after a year and a half.

After returning to Spirit Hall, Wu Ling reunited with Bibi Dong and his clones, whose memories raised his Soul Power Level to fifty. Xiao Fen revealed that she had found a divine fifth Spirit Ring candidate and proposed visiting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to prepare Wu Ling to absorb it.

• Wu Ling greeted Hu Liena indifferently, and Bibi Dong advised her to build a good relationship with him after revealing he was nearly fourteen and likely around level fifty.

• Wu Ling explained why he wanted to recruit Dugu Bo rather than simply take the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by force.
• Wu Ling listed four ineffective or impractical remedies for Dugu Bo’s poison, then offered a Heaven Grade cultivation technique tailored to his condition.

• Wu Ling said Dugu Bo could not receive the technique without joining Spirit Hall and warned that Dugu Yan might otherwise suffer the same fate as his son.
• Dugu Bo agreed to join Spirit Hall.

Wu Ling gathered the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, made potions for Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, and prepared a five-element potion for himself. After drinking it, he leaped into the Ice and Fire Spring to absorb its power.

• Wu Ling gave Dugu Bo a Spirit Hall Elder token and led him on a tour of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Wu Ling uprooted the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then summoned his Clones to help make potions from the herbs.

After a month of cultivation, Wu Ling emerged from the Ice and Fire Spring with his Spirit Rings strengthened, astonishing Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei. Xiao Fen reported that research into increasing Spirit Ring ages had succeeded and that research into creating Spirit Rings had also made progress.

• Dugu Bo absorbed the toxins in his body with Wu Ling's potion and broke through to level ninety-two, while Gui Mei and Yue Guan reached level ninety-six.
• Yue Guan's potion transformed her Martial Soul into a purple Graceful Profound Nether Chrysanthemum and changed her body into that of a woman.

• Xiao Fen told Wu Ling that research into raising Spirit Ring ages was complete and that they had made progress toward creating Spirit Rings.

After Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei helped Wu Ling secure the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Fen revealed that the spring might lie above the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. She also warned that Tang San’s arrival may have been arranged by the Asura God and presented Wu Ling with information about the Titan Giant Ape as a candidate for his fifth Spirit Ring.

• Wu Ling thanked Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo, then assigned them to gather herbs, reinforce the poison perimeter, and place array disks before their return the next day.
• After the three elders left, Xiao Fen told Wu Ling she had detected two enormous energy sources beneath the Ice and Fire Spring Eye and believed they were the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s corpses.
• Xiao Fen said the corpses lay at least ten thousand meters below the spring and could be difficult to retrieve without damaging the precious site, so Wu Ling decided to leave them until he was stronger or no longer needed the well.
• Xiao Fen suggested that Tang San’s knowledge of the well pointed to the Asura God arranging his transmigration, and Wu Ling fell silent as he recalled Divine Slaughter’s Domain.
• Xiao Fen showed Wu Ling information identifying the Titan Giant Ape’s Titan God bloodline and presented it as a candidate for his fifth Spirit Ring.

Wu Ling joined Bibi Dong and several Title Douluo to hunt the Titan Giant Ape, hoping to obtain it as his fifth Soul Ring. They reached the Lake of Life and began their operation, provoking the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

• Seven powerful auras emerged from the lake, and the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python roared at the humans.

Wu Ling concealed himself near the battle at the lake and prepared to use his powerful Barrett-style Soul Tool to assassinate a target. As Spirit Hall’s Title Douluo fought the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, Demon Bear Douluo and the Titan Giant Ape unleashed attacks at close range, leaving Demon Bear seriously injured and the beast badly hurt.
