• At the Wind Dragon King’s nest, the group finds only shattered bones. Kong Bo scans the remains with Red Moon, but the Wind Dragon King’s biological information is too fragmented to reconstruct completely.

• He selects Space Overload, a boosting skill that improves his compatibility with spatial power and allows him to use Blink more frequently.
• Using Red Moon’s life authority, Kong Bo creates and strengthens the Soul Ring. Although the energy reaches the level of a hundred-thousand-year ring, he seals it down to ten thousand years so he can safely absorb it.

• He creates a three-dimensional phantom of a Progenitor Rose. With sufficient life energy, the phantom could become a genuine Martial Soul.
• The Dragon God realizes that Kong Bo may now be capable of creating, strengthening, or granting Martial Souls, potentially allowing him to upgrade the Martial Souls of other soul masters.

Chapter Summary: How to Reshape a Martial Soul (I)—The Radical Overhaul Failed

Key Plot Points and Events

• Kong Bo uses a still-living Soul Ancestor’s brain as a biological computing device, placing it in nutrient solution and connecting it to the Spirit Condenser to extract spiritual power. He plans to obtain more “wetware chips” from the Holy Spirit Cult.
• The Dragon God criticizes Kong Bo’s ruthless experimentation, but Kong Bo insists he must complete further research before helping Qing Yuan.
• Kong Bo considers using life energy extracted by Red Moon from an Evil Soul Master. The Dragon God warns that this energy is impure and must be purified rather than consumed directly.
• This leads Kong Bo to question whether ordinary Soul Rings, which contain the life energy of soul beasts, are also impure. He theorizes that purer Soul Rings might strengthen Soul Masters and considers modifying Qing Yuan’s and Su Ning’s Soul Rings.
• After conducting ten additional Martial Soul Atavism experiments, Kong Bo completes a reliable process for enhancing beast Martial Souls through ancestral reversion.
• He begins a second project: directly modifying Martial Souls. However, altering a conscious subject’s Martial Soul causes extreme pain and threatens the subject’s life, forcing him to stop and anesthetize them.
• Kong Bo investigates historical cases in which divine power apparently transformed inherited Martial Souls. Qian Renxue explains that the Tian family once possessed a bun-type Martial Soul, but their ancestor’s wish caused it to become the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul through the Angel God’s intervention.
• Kong Bo realizes that true Martial Soul transformation is far beyond his current atavism technique and seeks to understand the missing principles.

Character Developments

• Kong Bo becomes increasingly ambitious and scientifically methodical. He completes his first successful research phase—beast Martial Soul atavism—but immediately pursues the more difficult goal of total Martial Soul modification.
• His willingness to exploit living subjects and use brains as equipment highlights his extreme pragmatism and moral detachment.
• The Dragon God acts as a cautionary, though largely ineffective, voice, warning Kong Bo about ethical issues and the dangers of impure life energy.
• Qian Renxue shifts from skepticism to astonishment after learning that Kong Bo has already developed a workable method for enhancing beast Martial Souls. She acknowledges that his research is beginning to approach divine authority.
• Qing Yuan and Su Ning become central to Kong Bo’s future research, as he hopes to evolve their Martial Souls and improve their Soul Rings.

Significant Themes

• Scientific ambition versus morality: Kong Bo’s experiments treat living beings as resources, emphasizing the danger of knowledge pursued without ethical limits.
• The boundaries between life, soul, and technology: The brain-powered Spirit Condenser and the manipulation of life energy blur distinctions between biology, Soul Power, and machinery.
• Evolution versus transformation: Kong Bo can currently strengthen Martial Souls only by returning them toward ancestral forms; genuine conversion into an entirely different Martial Soul remains beyond his ability.
• Divine power and human experimentation: The Angel God’s historical alteration of the Tian family’s Martial Souls inspires Kong Bo while also revealing the vast gap between divine authority and mortal techniques.
• Purity and power: Kong Bo’s theory that purified life energy could create stronger Soul Rings suggests that the foundations of Soul Master cultivation may themselves be imperfect.

Character Interactions

• The Dragon God repeatedly challenges Kong Bo’s methods, particularly his exploitation of brains and direct use of impure life energy, but Kong Bo responds with practical justifications.
• Kong Bo consults Qian Renxue about the history of the worshipper families’ Martial Souls. Their conversation reveals the extraordinary transformation of the Tian family from food-type Soul Masters with bun Martial Souls into Golden Crocodile King inheritors.
• Qian Renxue initially warns Kong Bo not to overestimate himself, but his research report forces her to recognize that he has already achieved a limited form of Martial Soul evolution.

Key Plot Points and Events

• Kong Bo and Qian Renxue discuss the possibility of reshaping Martial Souls, with Kong Bo insisting on finding historical records to support his theory.
• Qian Renxue provides Kong Bo with a record from the Golden Crocodile Douluo's ancestor, describing the God-bestowed Martial Soul process as painless and similar to a standard Martial Soul awakening.
• Kong Bo observes Martial Soul awakenings at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, discovering that Martial Souls are formed by shaping chaotic life energy with Soul Power.
• He hypothesizes that a God-bestowed Martial Soul involves a god reversing an existing Martial Soul back into chaotic life energy and reshaping it.

Character Developments

• Kong Bo: Demonstrates his determination and persistence in pursuing his theory of Martial Soul reshaping. He also shows his analytical skills by observing Martial Soul awakenings and drawing accurate conclusions.
• Qian Renxue: Shows understanding and support for Kong Bo's ideas, providing him with historical records and acknowledging his potential.

Significant Themes

• Curiosity and Determination: Kong Bo's curiosity about Martial Souls and his determination to understand and reshape them drive the plot forward.
• Knowledge and Experience: The historical records and Kong Bo's observations of Martial Soul awakenings highlight the importance of knowledge and experience in advancing understanding and theory.

Character Interactions

• Kong Bo and Qian Renxue: They engage in intellectual discussions about Martial Souls, with Qian Renxue supporting Kong Bo's ideas and providing him with necessary information.
• Kong Bo and Lin Jiayi: Kong Bo requests Lin Jiayi's help in observing Martial Soul awakenings, and Lin Jiayi accommodates him, showing respect for Kong Bo's talent and potential.

Key Plot Points and Events

• Kong Bo analogizes Martial Souls as sculptures and describes two methods to modify them: 'Martial Soul Atavism' and his new method, 'Martial Soul A → Life Energy Chaos Body → Martial Soul B'.
• Kong Bo conducts experiments to perfect his method, using Holy Spirit Cult members as test subjects, causing the Dragon God to question Kong Bo's humanity.
• After successfully mastering the conversion process, Kong Bo offers to evolve Qing Yuan and Su Ning's Martial Souls, starting with Qing Yuan the next day.

Character Developments

• Kong Bo: Demonstrates his ruthlessness and disregard for life in pursuit of knowledge, further cementing his villainous nature.
• Qing Yuan: Shows determination and willingness to take risks to improve her Martial Soul, swearing a Martial Soul Vow of secrecy.

Significant Themes

• Power and Ambition: Kong Bo's relentless pursuit of knowledge and power, even at the cost of lives, highlights his ambition.
• Sacrifice for Progress: The test subjects' deaths symbolize the sacrifices made in the name of scientific advancement.
• Trust and Betrayal: Qing Yuan and Su Ning trust Kong Bo enough to swear a Martial Soul Vow, but Kong Bo's true intentions remain unclear.

Character Interactions

• Kong Bo and the Dragon God: The Dragon God expresses shock and dismay at Kong Bo's disregard for life, while Kong Bo remains unfazed.
• Kong Bo, Qing Yuan, and Su Ning: The three discuss the Martial Soul evolution process, with Qing Yuan and Su Ning expressing excitement and trust in Kong Bo.
