Chapter Summary

Plot and events

Dai Mobai and Li Yue spend three days traveling into the Star Dou Great Forest, reaching the mixed zone inhabited by thousand- and ten-thousand-year soul beasts. They quickly encounter a roughly forty-thousand-year-old White-Eyed Demon Tiger King. Dai Mobai’s Blood Prison Demon Tiger martial soul overwhelms the beast through bloodline suppression, leaving it unable to resist. Working together, Dai Mobai and Li Yue kill it: Li Yue traps it with her frost-infused sword technique, while Dai Mobai pierces its skull with his blood-flame-coated arm. He then absorbs the beast’s blood energy, leaving its corpse severely shriveled.

After two hours, the absorption succeeds, and his Soul Power rises from level 50 by three levels. He then switches from the Blood Prison Demon Tiger to the Holy Light White Tiger martial soul.
  • Because night has fallen, the pair decide to camp in the forest. To dispose of the remaining corpse, Dai Mobai tells Li Yue to retreat roughly one hundred meters. He unleashes his newly acquired fifth soul skill, “Holy Tiger Roaring Heaven Strike!” A gigantic winged Holy Light White Tiger forms from golden radiance, releases a roar powerful enough to shake the forest, and dives into the corpse.
