Tang Hao heard people mock him and the Clear Sky Sect but restrained himself, while Wang Zhao met Qian Renxue in the library and explained that Golden Scale had eaten an Immortal Herb. The chapter left Qian Renxue eager to learn more about the herb and Wang Zhao’s transformation.

• Qian Renxue found Wang Zhao in the Spirit Academy library, examined his silver hair and changed appearance, and sensed his abundant light energy.
• Wang Zhao told Qian Renxue that Golden Scale had accidentally eaten an Immortal Herb, prompting her to ask what an Immortal Herb was.

Wang Zhao explained immortal herbs to Qian Renxue, who playfully called herself his student before they parted. The next morning, Qian Daoliu visited Wang Zhao, discussed the herbs Qian Renxue had reported, and offered to help with Wang Zhao’s lack of the light attribute, but Wang Zhao declined.

• Qian Daoliu told Wang Zhao that Qian Renxue had reported the immortal herbs and offered to help improve his light attribute, but Wang Zhao refused.

Wang Zhao received the Angel Meditation Method and a powerful Sacred Radiance Leaf from Qian Daoliu, then studied how they could aid his cultivation and research. After discussing Bibi Dong’s progress toward a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he sparred with Die and demonstrated the strength his improved physique concealed.

• Wang Zhao declined Qian Daoliu’s offer to intervene in his cultivation, and Qian Daoliu left a Sacred Radiance Leaf and the Angel Meditation Method for him.

• Bibi Dong told Wang Zhao that her two Martial Souls had begun to resonate as she practiced her fusion skill with her clone, raising hopes that she could eventually perform it alone.
• The next day, Wang Zhao sparred with Die, whose caution reflected the hidden physical strength he had gained from the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Wang Zhao witnessed Golden Scale complete its transformation into a powerful white-gold dragon and learned that Die had concealed the awakening’s disturbance in Spirit City. He tested Golden Scale’s upgraded soul skill and abilities, discovering it could contend with an ordinary Soul Sect and briefly challenge a Soul King, though his limited soul power prevented prolonged combat.

• Wang Zhao realized Golden Scale’s transformation had caused a disturbance, but Die told him she had concealed it from everyone below Soul Douluo level.
• Wang Zhao examined Golden Scale’s Sacred Radiance Auspicious Cloud skill and found its cloud production and flight enhancement had improved.
• With Die’s help, Wang Zhao tested Golden Scale’s strength and found its body could contend with an ordinary Assault System Battle Soul Sect and its enhanced power could briefly face a Soul King.

Wang Zhao tested Golden Scale’s enhanced strength and practiced flying with it before Die brought news of a Jade Scale Golden Eye Flood Dragon in Sunset Forest. He prepared to pursue the seven-thousand-year-old dragon, while Die revealed that Bibi Dong had also assigned him a task.

• Wang Zhao found Golden Scale’s Light Attribute attacks had improved enough to rival a conventional Second Soul Skill, while its physical strength remained exceptional.

• Wang Zhao practiced riding Golden Scale through the skies outside Spirit City while Die kept watch over him.
• Die told Wang Zhao that Bibi Dong’s people had found a seven-thousand-year-old Jade Scale Golden Eye Flood Dragon in Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City.

• Die told Wang Zhao that Bibi Dong had assigned him a task.

Wang Zhao and Die arrived in Heaven Dou City, where Wang Zhao presented his Holy Son Token to Platinum Bishop Salas. After Tang Yuehua noticed the pair and suspected Wang Zhao’s identity, she decided to act on the possibility that he was the Martial Soul Hall Holy Son.

• Die revealed that Wang Zhao had been assigned a task to kill someone, and they later traveled together to Heaven Dou City.
• Salas complained that Tang Yuehua kept trying to meet the Strength Clan and ordered her visit to be allowed when she arrived again.
• Tang Yuehua spoke with Salas, then noticed Wang Zhao and Die entering the office as she left.
• Tang Yuehua reasoned that the young man might be the Martial Soul Hall Holy Son and called to Aunt Tan to act.
• Wang Zhao showed Salas his Holy Son Token, and Salas recognized him before Wang Zhao asked whether the woman had been Tang Yuehua.

Wang Zhao obtained a map to the seven-thousand-year Jade Scale Golden Eye Flood Dragon and was invited by Tang Yuehua to Moonlight Pavilion. He postponed the meeting until that night and continued on his way with Die, prepared for whatever might happen.

• Salas gave Wang Zhao a map showing where the Jade Scale Golden Eye Flood Dragon slept in a Poison Barrier-shrouded pool.
• Baitan stopped Wang Zhao and Die outside the Spirit Hall Temple and invited them to Moonlight Pavilion on Tang Yuehua's behalf.
• Wang Zhao accepted the invitation but said he and Die would visit that night after handling other matters.
• Die worried that Tang Yuehua's powerful allies could make the meeting dangerous, but Wang Zhao said Tang Yuehua would not risk provoking Spirit Hall.
• Wang Zhao touched his Storage Soul Tool and produced a strange crystal glowing with golden light.

Wang Zhao and Die went to Sunset Forest to hunt a Jade Scale Golden Eye Flood Dragon so Wang Zhao could absorb its Soul Ring and gain its Light Attribute ability. After Golden Scale killed the beast, Wang Zhao began absorbing its 7,000-year Soul Ring by transferring the pressure to Golden Scale.

• Wang Zhao showed Die a crystal and then used Salas's map to lead her to a pool in Sunset Forest.
• Wang Zhao asked Die to shield him from the toxins while he absorbed a Soul Ring, and Die's Soul Pressure stirred the pool.
• Die blasted the Jade Scale Golden Eye Flood Dragon out of the water, and Golden Scale crushed its head under the pressure of its superior dragon bloodline.
• Wang Zhao sat beside the beast's corpse and began absorbing its purple Soul Ring while Die surrounded him with Soul Power.
• Wang Zhao used the Energy Conduction Method to transfer the Soul Ring's pressure to Golden Scale, leaving both of them looking relaxed.

Wang Zhao and Golden Scale completed the absorption of a seven-thousand-year Soul Ring, bringing Wang Zhao to Level 25 and granting him a powerful new Soul Skill. He took Sister Die into Sunset Forest to test it on a thousand-year Soul Beast, while finding no trace of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Golden Scale absorbed the Jade Scale Golden Eye Flood Dragon's Soul Ring with surprising ease, and Wang Zhao suspected its bloodline could suppress the energy and soul remnants of dead Soul Beasts.
• After the absorption, Wang Zhao gained a deep purple second Soul Ring and reached Level 25, though he wondered why his combined gains from cultivation, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and the Soul Ring seemed so small.
• Wang Zhao told Sister Die that his new Soul Skill was strong and asked her to find a durable Soul Beast so he could test it.
• Sister Die flew Wang Zhao around Sunset Forest, but he found no sign of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Wang Zhao chose a Thousand Year Rock Horn Elephant and instructed Golden Scale to attack only with ranged light energy while he supported it with his First Soul Skill, Sacred Radiance Auspicious Cloud.

Wang Zhao tested his Second Soul Skill, Eerie Light Fluctuation, on a Rock Horn Elephant, using Golden Scale’s attacks to inflict escalating damage and poison-like effects before detonating the energy within it. He explained the skill’s rules and hidden explosive effect to Die, then resolved to use its power according to the circumstances.

• Wang Zhao used Eerie Light Fluctuation to mark the Rock Horn Elephant, while Golden Scale struck it repeatedly and inflicted escalating damage and poison-like effects.
• Wang Zhao ordered Golden Scale to finish the Rock Horn Elephant, and the beast exploded after suffering five attacks.
• Die questioned Wang Zhao about his sinister Second Soul Skill, and Wang Zhao reflected on killing soul beasts and the responsibility of wielding power.
• Wang Zhao explained that Eerie Light Fluctuation increased damage with each of Golden Scale’s five attacks and inflicted dizziness, nausea, numbness, diarrhea, and pain.
• Wang Zhao told Die that he could detonate the light energy left inside a target after the five attacks, naming the effect Light Explosion Art.

Wang Zhao and Die encountered Flender and Liu Erlong in Sunset Forest after using Light Explosion Art, then left before the pair could speak with them. At Moonlight Pavilion, Wang Zhao took the guards’ hostile reception as a deliberate slight and departed, telling Baitan that Tang Yuehua could find him at the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel before he left the city.

• Wang Zhao examined Golden Scale, then spotted Flender and Liu Erlong flying toward him and Die in Sunset Forest.
• Wang Zhao and Die escaped in stealth before Flender and Liu Erlong could reach them; the pair sensed a familiar, suppressive aura from the boy.
• Die took Wang Zhao around Heaven Dou City, including the Great Soul Arena, before they arrived at Moonlight Pavilion that night.
• When the guards challenged their arrival, Wang Zhao ordered Die to reveal her Soul Rings, and her Soul Saint pressure forced the guards to their knees.
• Liu Erlong and Flender arrived as Baitan apologized on Tang Yuehua’s behalf, but Wang Zhao rejected the explanation and left with Die for the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel.

Tang Yuehua decided to meet Wang Zhao after learning he had left Moonlight Pavilion, and she went with Baitan and Liu Erlong to his hotel room. There, Wang Zhao hinted that someone at the pavilion had made him feel unwelcome, and Tang Yuehua asked why he had left.

• Liu Erlong dismissed Wang Zhao as presumptuous, but Tang Yuehua chose to go see him herself.
• Tang Yuehua asked Baitan to find Wang Zhao's room and take her there discreetly.

• Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, and Baitan entered Wang Zhao's room through the window, where Wang Zhao said someone had not welcomed him at Moonlight Pavilion.

Wang Zhao discussed Tang Yuehua’s Ruyi Ring and Noble Ring domain, suggesting her spiritual power could explain their unusual effects and might offer a path to becoming a Soul Master. He concealed his identity behind a Hidden Family story and left Liu Erlong startled by his knowledge, then revealed that people called him “Grand Tutor.”

• Wang Zhao told Tang Yuehua that he might find a way to help her become a Soul Master and asked to examine her martial soul.
• Tang Yuehua showed Wang Zhao her Ruyi Ring and Noble Ring domain, which he studied before explaining his ideas about her spiritual power.

• Wang Zhao said that people had called him “Grand Tutor.”

After Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong left, Wang Zhao discussed their abilities with Die and kept his connection to Bibi Dong secret. On the journey back to Spirit City, he stopped at a bandit stronghold to begin the mission Bibi Dong had assigned him.

• Tang Yuehua agreed to consider a future knowledge trade with Wang Zhao, while Liu Erlong refused to call him her sister until he revealed his martial soul.
• Wang Zhao told Die that Tang Yuehua's talent domain and Liu Erlong's Golden Iron Triangle were worth investigating, then avoided revealing that he had become Bibi Dong's disciple.
• The next day, Wang Zhao and Die left Heaven Dou City after Baitan returned from the hotel, and Wang Zhao said he would explore the city properly another time.
• On the way to Spirit City, Die brought Wang Zhao to a bandit stronghold and explained that Bibi Dong's task was to wipe out its members without leaving survivors.
• Die warned Wang Zhao that the bandit leader was a veteran Soul Elder and said she would only rescue him if he faced death, which would make his mission a failure.

Wang Zhao infiltrated the bandit stronghold to rescue civilians while Golden Scale distracted the bandits, but he discovered the survivors had suffered horrific abuse and died after he revived them. Enraged, he ordered Golden Scale to kill every bandit and vanished into the thickening mist.

• Wang Zhao used Golden Scale's Sacred Radiance Auspicious Cloud and a dragon roar to frighten the bandits, while he secretly entered the stronghold.
• The bandit chief abandoned the ordinary bandits and tried to flee with the other Soul Masters, but Golden Scale's attack knocked them down and blocked their escape.
• Wang Zhao searched the stronghold for civilians and found evidence of brutal atrocities, then used his Light Attribute Soul Power to awaken the few survivors.
• The survivors pleaded with Wang Zhao before dying, leaving him cold with anger.
• Wang Zhao emerged, ordered Golden Scale to kill the bandits, and disappeared into the thickened mist as the God of Death descended.

Wang Zhao and Golden Scale destroyed a bandit stronghold, then discussed Spirit Hall’s duty to protect the innocent. As they prepared to leave, a vast gray force swept across the world and a mysterious voice spoke in Wang Zhao’s mind.

• Die explained that Spirit Hall would settle or compensate the oppressed civilians, and Wang Zhao questioned what should happen if Spirit Hall itself harmed a region.
• Gray currents flooded the world, an unknown force sent Die flying, and a majestic voice in Wang Zhao’s mind spoke of a remnant soul.

Wang Zhao discovered that Electrolux had entered his mind, then returned to Spirit City with Sister Die and learned that Bibi Dong would fight Demonic Bear Douluo. In the plaza, Bibi Dong revealed a strange gray-white form that left the watching elders baffled as the duel began.

• A phantom entered Wang Zhao's mind and became a gray bead, which he recognized as connected to Electrolux, though he could not communicate with it.
• Sister Die confirmed Wang Zhao was unharmed and brought him back to Spirit City, where they heard about Bibi Dong's public match with Demonic Bear Douluo.
• Wang Zhao and Sister Die joined the crowd at the central plaza, where Demonic Bear Douluo questioned why Bibi Dong was rushing to challenge him.
• Demonic Bear Douluo transformed into his Blood Demon Berserk Bear form and waited for Bibi Dong to make the first move.
• Bibi Dong released concentrated gray-white energy and appeared in a gray-white dress with eight crystalline spider legs, astonishing Demonic Bear Douluo and the observing elders.
