Ling Yi confronted Yu Xiaogang in the mountain hollow, where Yu had become an Eight Ring Soul Douluo and raised a Six-Headed Blood Dragon King. After retrieving a piece of Andaril from the creature, Ling Yi warned Yu to stay away from people of Lingyun City and revealed that he knew about Yu’s Nine Sons Mother Lotus Heart Technique.

• Ling Yi found Flender and Shi Nian hiding near the mountain hollow and knocked Shi Nian unconscious with a word before piercing Flender’s shoulder with a stone.
• Ling Yi entered the hollow and found Yu Xiaogang beside a giant flesh-and-blood egg; Yu revealed that he had reached Eight Ring Soul Douluo.

Er Yuexuan tried to persuade Lingyun City’s leaders to support replacing the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, but Mo Yuxiong warned that the shift would require a deeper transformation of the continent. Fei Bai and Jiu Gao learned that the plan had failed, while Ling Yi explained that Lingyun City’s growing strength was making outward expansion inevitable.

• Er Yuexuan argued that Ling Yi should rule the Heaven Dou Empire and that Lingyun City should eventually replace the Two Great Empires, but Mo Yuxiong cautioned that changing the continent’s name would require martial arts to supplant martial souls.

On New Year’s Day, Chen Tianqi visited his master, Li Zhishu, and urged him to accept ten-thousand-year Dragon Bone Wine so he could reach Soul Sage sooner. Li Zhishu rebuked Chen Tianqi for meddling in factional schemes and warned him that the City Lord could see through every move in Lingyun City.

• Chen Tianqi brought food and ten-thousand-year Dragon Bone Wine to Li Zhishu’s estate and greeted Li Zhishu and his family.
• Li Zhishu recognized the wine’s value and refused it, telling Chen Tianqi to use it to advance his own cultivation instead.
• Chen Tianqi insisted that Li Zhishu’s breakthrough to Seven-Ring Soul Sage mattered more urgently, and Li Zhishu realized his disciple was making an investment in him.
• After Li Zhishu ended the children’s stance training and sent them to their herbal bath, he scolded Chen Tianqi for trying to place bets and form private alliances.
• Li Zhishu warned Chen Tianqi that the City Lord could detect the schemes unfolding across Lingyun City, leaving Chen Tianqi stunned.

Flender absorbed a Soul Ring and became a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, while Yu Xiaogang used the chance to absorb a seven-colored skull Soul Bone. The Soul Bone drew Yu Xiaogang into vivid illusions of Ling Yi and his past teachings, where he began to rediscover and deepen what he had learned.

• Flender absorbed the Four-Winged Dragon Finch's Soul Ring and broke through to Seven-Ring Soul Sage as Yu Xiaogang watched.
• Yu Xiaogang refined the family of a White Dragon City Soul Elder into Blood Essence Fruits, and Flender struggled with fear and thoughts of escape or resistance.

• The Soul Bone merged into Yu Xiaogang's head and drew him into an illusion of the Lingyun City Martial Soul Research Institute, where he recognized the scene as a Mirage Wisdom Skull illusion.
• Yu Xiaogang killed an illusory Er Yuexuan, left the classroom illusion, and entered another bubble depicting Ling Yi teaching how to use Soul Power and physical strength without relying on Soul Skills.

After recovering from his Mirage Wisdom Skull illusion, Yu Xiaogang returned to find Flender attempting to flee and confronting a man seeking revenge on Zhang Wei. Yu Xiaogang revealed that he had killed Zhang Wei, then killed the man's heartbroken brother for having agreed to his sister's sale.

• Yu Xiaogang woke after reliving two and a half years of memories in an illusion, while Flender finished consolidating his cultivation and considered escaping.

• Yu Xiaogang plunged his hand into the man's chest and pulled out his heart.

After Yu Xiaogang revived Tang Hao and let him leave, Ling Yi studied the memories he had received and began exploring how to create a shared virtual world through dreams and consciousness. He sent a faint thread of Heart Power toward a sleeping Blue Silver Rice soul master in Lingyun City to begin testing the idea.

Li Lingyu began practicing the movements, while Ling Yi watched Mo Yuxiong boast in a tavern about his rare God-tier Intestines and coming breakthrough.

With Ling Yi’s guidance and the Nine Shao Tuning Soul Guidance Array, Li Lingyu rapidly tempered his body and reached a breakthrough in martial arts and Soul Power. As he began unifying his essence, qi, and spirit in his dantian, Mo Yuxiong arrived at the research institute.

• Wu Xian and Wei Yi activated the Nine Shao Tuning Soul Guidance Array and used the Taiyi Bell to bombard Li Lingyu with sound waves.

• Li Lingyu guided his Mental Strength, Soul Power, and qi and blood into his dantian as Mo Yuxiong arrived at the fourth floor.

Ling Yi oversaw Li Lingyu’s breakthrough and offered Mo Yuxiong’s companions a chance to learn the Six Viscera Devouring Spirit Technique before turning to plans for expanding the Dream Realm Space.

News spread that Yu Xiaogang had defeated Tuoba Xi in a duel, revealing that both had reached the Eight Ring Soul Douluo level. Yu Luomian went to the White Armored Earth Dragon School to investigate, but the School Master disappeared before he could question him.

• Yu Xiaogang's victory over Tuoba Xi shocked the continent, and Yu Yuanzhen sent Yu Luomian to verify the report.
• Yu Luomian arrived at the White Armored Earth Dragon School and demanded to see Tuoba Xi, who was reportedly recovering from his injuries in White Dragon Cave.
• The Grand Elder warned Yu Luomian not to provoke the school, and Yu Luomian held back while suspecting that Spirit Hall or the Clear Sky Sect was behind the duel.
• A panicked messenger arrived at the Council Hall and announced that Tuoba Xi was gone.

Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan examined evidence that Yu Xiaogang had become an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo and defeated Tuoba Xi. The clan members debated whether the man was truly Yu Xiaogang and noticed his resemblance to Ling Yi.

• Yu Yuanzhen received Zhao Rongzhen’s report about Yu Xiaogang and watched the copied Image Stone.

Er Yuexuan leaked a file that helped set a hunt for Yu Xiaogang in motion, believing he had advanced by devouring other soul masters.

• The Clear Sky Sect leaders discussed Yu Xiaogang’s rise from Soul Elder to Soul Douluo, and Tang Hao suspected that Slaughter City and Yu Xiaogang’s mutated martial soul explained his strength.
• Tang Hao concluded that Yu Xiaogang had escaped Slaughter City and likely gained the Slaughter God Domain.
• Rumors spread that Yu Xiaogang was a Fallen Soul Master, and major powers received an Enforcement Team file describing his martial soul’s mutations, cultivation, and escape from Slaughter City.

• Er Yuexuan admitted that he had copied and distributed the file to incriminate Yu Xiaogang, whom he suspected of advancing by devouring other soul masters.

Yu Xiaogang defeated Tang Hao and became the target of a coalition of powerful forces seeking to curb the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Killing God Hypros arrived at Slaughter City seeking information about Wu Wudi, then pursued a watcher and confronted Ling Yi’s Second Martial Soul, “Erlang.” After Hypros attacked, “Erlang” effortlessly split his divine technique, leaving Hypros to acknowledge his strength.

• Ling Yi used the Origin Returning Seal and Sky Blue Extinction Thunder to raise Erlang’s Magnetic Field Propulsion to 100,000 horsepower, while Hypros summoned the Slaughter God Sword and attacked.
• Ling Yi blocked Hypros’s sword strike, flew into space, and continued increasing his power as Hypros pursued him.

• After Ling Yi sent Hypros flying, Hypros used the Soul Seizing Art and called upon the Asura God’s power to activate Asura Possession.
• Hypros created a blood-red forbidden zone around them, but Ling Yi released a dazzling silver-white attack that plunged Hypros’s consciousness into darkness.

Ling Yi fought Asura God’s projected incarnation outside Douluo Star while using the battle to test the world’s laws, and their clash sent a meteor swarm toward the planet. Ling Yi summoned a colossal Sky-Pillar Giant to sweep away the meteors, then destroyed Asura God’s incarnation, leaving the God Realm Committee stunned.
