Chapter Summaries

Nan Feng manipulated Qian Renxue into regretting dirtying his new clothes, then secretly took the blame for her when Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong discovered the ruined flowerbed. Qian Xunji left with Qian Renxue, while Nan Feng stayed with Bibi Dong.

• Qian Renxue dirtied her own face and pleaded with Nan Feng to forgive her and keep quiet, but he refused to be comforted until she promised to replace his clothes.
• Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong returned to the garden and found the flowerbed ruined and Nan Feng and Qian Renxue covered in dirt and soot.
• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong that he had ruined the flowerbed and asked Qian Renxue to help destroy the evidence.
• Qian Xunji recognized that Qian Renxue was responsible, offered rare flowers and herbs to compensate Bibi Dong, and scolded his daughter for joining in the mischief.
• Qian Xunji took Qian Renxue away to clean up, and she looked back at Nan Feng with gratitude and guilt.

Nan Feng explained his confrontation with Qian Renxue to Bibi Dong and defended his choice to reveal his strength while urging Bibi Dong to face her feelings in her own time. Back in his room, he reflected that he had deliberately used the flowerbed incident to break Qian Renxue’s pride and gain her trust, leaving his plan to win over both women underway.

• Bibi Dong scolded Nan Feng for the ruined flowers, and he explained that Qian Renxue had set them on fire after he trapped her with Spider Silk.
• Bibi Dong warned that Nan Feng’s strength could make Qian Xunji suspicious, but Nan Feng said he would not hide his power and could pass off his Spider Silk as a mutation.
• Bibi Dong asked Nan Feng to stop causing commotions and admitted she needed time to let go of her past with Yu Xiaogang.
• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong he would not intervene in her affairs, then returned to his room.
• Nan Feng reasoned that he had to keep Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue from becoming his enemies, so he planned not to help Bibi Dong kill Qian Xunji.
• Nan Feng reflected that trapping Qian Renxue and then taking the blame had humbled her and made it easier to win her over.

Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu that Nan Feng’s spider silk had trapped her and resisted her Sacred Fire, so they arranged to investigate him. Meanwhile, Yue Guan brought rare flowers to compensate Bibi Dong for Qian Renxue’s damage, only to discover his treasured plants had been burned to ash.

• Qian Renxue went to Qian Daoliu and described how Nan Feng’s spider silk trapped her and absorbed her Soul Power and Sacred Soul Power.
• Qian Daoliu said he would need to test Nan Feng himself, and Qian Renxue arranged to accompany Yue Guan’s flower delivery as an excuse to visit the Saintess Palace.
• Qian Daoliu decided to follow secretly because he could not meet Bibi Dong directly.
• Yue Guan brought carts of rare flowers to the Saintess Palace after Qian Xunji ordered him to replace the damaged flowerbeds.
• Yue Guan found the garden’s flowers reduced to ash, mourned their loss, and asked Bibi Dong how they had burned.

Bibi Dong accepted Yue Guan’s flowers, while Qian Renxue thanked Nan Feng for taking the blame and asked him to demonstrate the Spider Silk again. Nan Feng secretly trapped her with it, leaving her bound and calling for him to come back.

• Bibi Dong told Yue Guan to take back the flowers, but he ordered the maids to plant them as the Pope’s compensation.
• Qian Renxue pulled Nan Feng aside and thanked him for taking the blame for her the previous night.
• Qian Renxue asked Nan Feng to use his Spider Silk again so she could learn how to resist it, but he refused and confronted her about forcing him around.
• Qian Renxue grabbed Nan Feng’s arm again, apologized, and insisted she would not be trapped a second time.
• Nan Feng revealed that he had already wrapped Qian Renxue in Spider Silk and left her bound as it drained her Soul Power.

Qian Renxue learned from Qian Daoliu that Nan Feng’s Spider Silk absorbed Soul Power and gained resistance to the target’s attribute, but he could destroy it with overwhelming sacred power. Determined to uncover how Nan Feng had trapped her, she returned to demand that he tie her up again, and he tried to leave.

• After Nan Feng left, Qian Renxue failed to break or burn through the Spider Silk and called for Qian Daoliu’s help.
• Qian Daoliu destroyed the Holy Spider Web with his stronger sacred power and explained how the silk absorbed and assimilated Soul Power.
• Qian Daoliu suggested Qian Renxue let Nan Feng tie her up again so she could learn how his concealed Spider Silk worked.
• Qian Renxue returned to the Saintess Palace and demanded that Nan Feng tie her up again.
• Nan Feng called her sick and tried to leave, but Qian Renxue jumped in front of him and stopped him.

Nan Feng tied Qian Renxue up again without her noticing, while Qian Daoliu encouraged her to chase him for another attempt. Nan Feng then visited Bibi Dong’s mimicry training ground and criticized Spirit Hall for neglecting research into soul-master theory.

• Qian Renxue challenged Nan Feng to tie her up again, but he revealed she was already bound by hidden Spider Silk that drained her Soul Power.
• Qian Daoliu freed Qian Renxue, admitted he had not noticed Nan Feng’s method, and persuaded her to try again.
• Qian Daoliu pondered whether Nan Feng had laid a trap in advance because he sensed no Soul Power when Qian Renxue was bound.
• Nan Feng found Bibi Dong meditating in her spider-filled Mimicry Training Ground and questioned how mimicry training improved cultivation.
• Bibi Dong explained that Spirit Hall had little internal research into soul-master theory, prompting Nan Feng to connect its lack of scholarship to her past attraction to Yu Xiaogang.

Nan Feng explained why the Soul Master world’s ruling factions suppressed universal research, then began teaching Bibi Dong that Mimetic Cultivation Environments worked through Same-Frequency Energy Resonance. He demonstrated three Soul Tools he had reverse-engineered himself, leaving Bibi Dong stunned by his achievements.

• Nan Feng criticized Spirit Hall and the great clans for neglecting or monopolizing foundational theory to preserve their power.
• Bibi Dong admitted that powerful clans researched specialized cultivation systems tied to their inherited Martial Souls.
• Nan Feng asked whether Spirit Hall had studied Mimetic Cultivation Environments, and Bibi Dong said she knew of no such research.
• Nan Feng explained that Mimetic Cultivation Environments relied on Same-Frequency Energy Resonance and showed Bibi Dong three Soul Tools he had crafted.
• Nan Feng said he had learned to make Soul Tools by dismantling and reverse-engineering ancient artifacts over several decades, shocking Bibi Dong.

Nan Feng demonstrated to Bibi Dong how his pendulum Soul Tools used synchronous resonance to improve cultivation efficiency by coordinating a Soul Master’s energy with the surrounding environment. Bibi Dong was left stunned by the potential for cultivation speeds up to ten times normal under ideal conditions.

• Bibi Dong questioned how Nan Feng had researched Soul Tools, and he claimed that decades of patient study had let him understand them.
• Nan Feng set two pendulums swinging and explained synchronous resonance, connecting it to natural coordination and the effects of Mimicry Training Grounds.
• Nan Feng arranged three Pendulum Soul Guidance Devices around Bibi Dong and used them to synchronize her energy with the environment.
• Bibi Dong meditated and found that the setup increased her cultivation efficiency by nearly fifty percent in her Mimicry Training Ground.
• Nan Feng explained that the setup could provide at least a twenty percent increase in suitable environments and might double efficiency at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
• Nan Feng said his cultivation method combined with the resonance setup could reach ten times normal speed for up to one shichen a day, leaving Bibi Dong shaken by his ingenuity.

Nan Feng revealed to Bibi Dong that he had reached Rank 99 at around thirty and gave her three Resonance Formation devices to aid her cultivation. He then agreed to explain to Qian Renxue how he had tied her up, after she swore she would never bully him again.

• Bibi Dong questioned Nan Feng about his age and past, and learned he had reached Rank 99 when Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had only recently become Titled Douluo.
• Nan Feng used his Godly Trial mark to discover that he was ninety-nine years old, leaving Bibi Dong stunned by his achievements.
• Nan Feng gave Bibi Dong three Pendulum Soul Guidance Devices and left her to continue cultivating with the Resonance Formation.
• Qian Renxue confronted Nan Feng and demanded to know how he had tied her up three times.
• Qian Renxue swore that if she bullied Nan Feng again, Bibi Dong would never speak to her, and Nan Feng led her to the garden to explain.

Nan Feng explained how his Demon Spider Summon skill let tiny transparent spiders secretly attach Spider Silk to targets and bind them later. He trapped Qian Renxue again, while Qian Daoliu realized the skill could be nearly impossible to guard against.

• Nan Feng showed Qian Renxue a transparent Demon Spider and explained how his summoned spiders could remain on his body and silently release Spider Silk.
• Nan Feng told Qian Renxue that the spiders could absorb her Soul Power through their silk, and that Sacred Fire’s heat could destroy them before they reached her.
• Nan Feng secretly bound Qian Renxue again, prompting her to cry out that he was insidious.
• Qian Daoliu watched from the shadows and understood how the spiders’ delayed attack could evade a soul master's warning and threaten opponents of the same rank.

Nan Feng freed Qian Renxue after she promised not to torment him again, then returned to Bibi Dong to explain the rare materials and precise cultivation required to create his Soul Tools. Bibi Dong learned that the three pendulums could aid even a Peak Douluo, but mass-producing them was impractical.

• Nan Feng teased Qian Renxue about repeatedly being tied up and refused to release her until she pleaded and promised not to torment him.
• After Nan Feng dissolved the Spider Silk, Qian Renxue admired his mismatched eyes and asked to see his Martial Soul, but he refused and left for Bibi Dong's courtyard.
• Nan Feng returned to Bibi Dong, who praised the results of the three Soul Tools and asked how he had made them and whether more could be produced.
• Nan Feng explained the rare conductive metals, Soul Guidance Arrays, precise Soul Power control, and high failure rate involved in crafting Soul Tools.
• Nan Feng said his three pendulums were the result of hundreds of refinements and could assist a Peak Douluo, leaving Bibi Dong fascinated by their different grades.

Nan Feng explained how he developed a Soul Tool that synchronized with a Soul Master's energy and used resonance to accelerate cultivation. He described its Spirit Bone-based construction and lasting wear problem, then recounted how the Sea God admitted he could not understand the array either.

• Nan Feng explained that his Pendulum Soul Guidance Device used Frequency Locking and Resonance Coupling Arrays to match a Soul Master's energy and draw surrounding spiritual energy into resonance.
• Nan Feng said he embedded three naturally resonant fragments of a bat's head Spirit Bone in the devices to reduce wear, but the Soul Guidance Arrays still deteriorated under intense Soul Power.
• Nan Feng explained that he replaced and re-engraved the device's base every month so he could keep using it to reach level ninety-nine.
• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong that he had visited Sea God Island to ask the Sea God for advice about the Resonance Array.
• Nan Feng said the Sea God had studied the array for a long time before admitting he could not understand it.

Nan Feng explained how years of research on Sea God Island led him to create the Three-Phase Star Bell and its more advanced single-core successor, the Heart of the Tide. He revealed that he had given the Heart of the Tide to Bo Saixi before leaving for the Capital of Slaughter, then wondered whether she still remembered him.

• Nan Feng described replacing the Three-Phase Star Bell’s base with Deep Sea Sinking Silver and adding a Synchronous Frequency Buffer Array so it could withstand powerful Soul Power resonance.
• Nan Feng explained how he developed the Three-Phase Star Bell using three resonant Spirit Bones and made it capable of assisting an Ultimate Douluo’s cultivation.
• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong that he later created the Heart of the Tide, using a special Deep-Sea Crystal to replace the three Spirit Bones and draw on tidal energy.
• Bibi Dong asked to see the Heart of the Tide, but Nan Feng said he had made it into a necklace and given it to Bo Saixi as a farewell gift.
• Nan Feng recalled leaving Sea God Island for the Capital of Slaughter, where Bi Yang’s Godly Trial trapped and tortured him on Hell Road for decades.
• Nan Feng wondered whether Bo Saixi had forgotten him after his long disappearance.

Bibi Dong remembered that Bo Saixi had spared her because she resembled Nan Feng, and she feared Nan Feng would leave her if he learned the truth. Nan Feng showed Bibi Dong the Soul Tools he had invented on Sea God Island, revealing that his “toys” could threaten Titled Douluo and transform warfare.

• Bibi Dong recalled her defeat on Sea God Island and Bo Saixi’s longing, regretful gaze when she said Bibi Dong resembled an old friend.
• Bibi Dong hid her fear that Nan Feng would return to Sea God Island if he learned Bo Saixi had waited for him for decades.
• Nan Feng showed Bibi Dong his Soul Tools, including the Space-Splitting rifle, Bee Sting pistol, Sky-Shattering Thunder, Soul-Lost Flash, and Raging Waves machine gun.
• Nan Feng explained that Space-Splitting could kill from five thousand meters away and that the other weapons could let ordinary Soul Masters and armies overwhelm powerful opponents.
• Bibi Dong realized Nan Feng’s inventions could undermine Titled Douluo and change the nature of war.

Nan Feng explained the limits and battlefield uses of his Soul Tools, then offered to design Bibi Dong a custom battle armor. He revealed that his own strength already rivaled the divine level and that even the three Peerless Douluo could not defeat him, leaving Bibi Dong stunned.

• Nan Feng explained that Space-Splitting, Bee Sting, and Raging Waves had power limits imposed by their materials, though Raging Waves could devastate ordinary soldiers and low-level Soul Masters.
• Bibi Dong asked whether Nan Feng had a Soul Tool that could improve her current strength, and he said he had given his existing ones to two soul-beast friends in the Far North.
• Nan Feng offered to design Bibi Dong a Spider Emperor Battle Armor after she asked for greater frontal combat strength.
• Nan Feng explained that ordinary battle armor would burden him because his speed, power, and defense had already reached the limits of the Mortal Realm.
• Nan Feng claimed he could kill Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, or Bo Saixi in a one-on-one battle, even if they wielded divine power or used Ring Explosion, and Bibi Dong was left speechless.

Nan Feng explained the rules governing Godly Trials and why the God of Evil could not make his trial impossible without risking Cosmic backlash. Bibi Dong realized that if Nan Feng completed every trial, the God of Evil would have to pass on his Divine Seat or face the consequences.

• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong that, despite his sealed Soul Power and childlike body, he could protect himself from the three opponents.
• Nan Feng explained that the God of Evil had made his trials increasingly brutal because he had never intended to pass on the Divine Seat and had become interested in tormenting him.
• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong that Cosmic Rules required trial rewards to match their difficulty and prohibited both trivially easy trials and impossible dead ends.
• Nan Feng explained that even God Kings could not violate the universe's fundamental rules without triggering destructive backlash.
• Bibi Dong concluded that the God of Evil would have to grant Nan Feng the Divine Seat if he completed every trial, and Nan Feng confirmed that refusal would bring Cosmic backlash.

Nan Feng explained to Bibi Dong that Mental Power arose when the brain converted biological energy and Soul Power, and he argued that Faith Power worked through the same principle. He left her with a question about whether thought could transform basic energy into Faith Power.

• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong he could gather Faith Power for a thousand years to condense a Divine Seat if the God of Evil turned against him.
• Nan Feng revealed that his research on Sea God Island had linked Faith Power to Energy Resonance.
• Nan Feng explained his theory that matter and energy shared a source and that the brain converted bodily energy into Mental Power.
• Bibi Dong followed Nan Feng's explanation of Mental Power's origins.
• Nan Feng proposed that thought might convert basic energy into specialized energy such as Faith Power.

Nan Feng explained to Bibi Dong how Faith Power transformed energy into Divine Power and described his ambition to understand thought and creation. He then revealed his Spirit Rings, but Bibi Dong found them unimpressive compared with his ideas.

• Nan Feng explained that Faith Power used Energy Resonance to transform a mortal’s energy into Divine Power and gradually reshape the body into that of a god.
• Nan Feng said he had hoped to create a machine that mass-produced Faith Power, but understanding it would require comprehending human thought and perhaps the principles of creation.
• Bibi Dong was awed by Nan Feng’s curiosity and intellect, but he teased her for admiring him and offered to teach her what he knew.
• Nan Feng sealed the Mimicry Cultivation Courtyard and revealed five black and four red Spirit Rings with the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul.
• Nan Feng switched to the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul and showed nine hundred-thousand-year red Spirit Rings, but Bibi Dong remained calm and called them vulgar compared with his ideas.

Nan Feng showed Qian Renxue his Spider Emperor Battle Armor sketches, then learned she longed for Bibi Dong to hold her while she slept. He offered to help, leaving Qian Renxue waiting to hear what cooperation he required.

• Nan Feng worked on his Spider Emperor Battle Armor concept sketches in the Saintess Palace garden, and Qian Renxue admired their detail.
• Nan Feng teased Qian Renxue about how she addressed Bibi Dong and told her she could call her Sister instead of Mom.
• Nan Feng explained that Bibi Dong held him while she slept and that he unconsciously burrowed closer to her warmth, prompting Qian Renxue to call him a little pervert.
• Nan Feng guessed that Qian Renxue wanted Bibi Dong to hold her too, and Qian Renxue admitted that she did.
• Nan Feng said he had a way to help Qian Renxue but needed her to cooperate obediently.

Nan Feng made Bibi Dong a life-size body pillow to help her sleep peacefully, but secretly hid Qian Renxue inside it so she could spend the night in her mother's arms. The next morning, Qian Renxue worried that Bibi Dong would be angry if she discovered the deception, while Nan Feng promised to take the blame.

• Nan Feng offered to make Bibi Dong a handmade Spider Silk body pillow, and Bibi Dong agreed despite doubting his motives.
• Nan Feng presented Bibi Dong with a pale-gold pillow, and she fell asleep holding it while he stayed beside her.
• After Bibi Dong left for cultivation the next morning, Nan Feng undid the pillow's disguise and revealed Qian Renxue inside.
• Qian Renxue worried that Bibi Dong would be angry if she learned what happened, but Nan Feng said he would handle the consequences.
