Chapter Summaries

At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s awakening ceremony, Yu Changge awakened a Piglet Martial Soul with half a level of Innate Soul Power, but believed it was actually a Golden Sacred Dragon cub. His Hextech System activated and he chose three rewards, leaving him with new martial soul potential, increased cultivation, and an egg to hatch.

• Yu Changge watched other children awaken powerful martial souls while clan members compared his prospects with Yu Xiaogang’s poor awakening.
• Yu Changge awakened a Piglet Martial Soul with half a level of Innate Soul Power, drawing jeers and dismay from the clan.
• Yu Changge’s parents, Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao, comforted themselves and accepted that their son might not become powerful.
• Yu Changge recognized the martial soul as a Golden Sacred Dragon cub and received five Hextech options from his system.
• Yu Changge chose New Recruit, Level Up, and Golden Egg, gaining an extra martial soul slot, a Martial Soul Replicator, two soul-power levels with a bonus-level effect, and a Golden Dragon Egg with eleven years left to hatch.

After awakening a Pig Martial Soul and gaining two and a half levels of Soul Power, Yu Changge comforted his worried parents and began learning the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s meditation method. His father worried about the limits of Changge’s talent and planned to base his First Soul Ring choice on the one Yu Xiaogang received.

• Yu Changge’s Soul Power surged from half a level to two and a half levels as his Martial Soul awakened, though the ceremony’s onlookers continued to mock him.
• Yu Changge reassured Yu Shuyao and Yu Tianqing, then exchanged a silent, understanding glance with Yu Xiaogang after the ceremony.
• Yu Tianqing began teaching Yu Changge the clan’s meditation method the next morning, and Yu Changge quickly completed a full Soul Power circulation.
• Yu Tianqing worried that Changge’s low innate Soul Power and unknown Pig Martial Soul would limit his future and make choosing a First Soul Ring dangerous.
• Yu Tianqing planned to watch what Soul Ring Yu Xiaogang received and choose a similar one for Yu Changge.

Yu Changge asked his father, Yu Tianqing, to help him study Soul Master theory and close combat, and began training in the Dragon Roaming Rock-Crushing Hand. His parents supported his development with training, medicinal baths, and Sub-Dragon meat, while Yu Changge remained convinced that his Pig Martial Soul was a juvenile Golden Sacred Dragon.

• Yu Changge asked Yu Tianqing to find him a theory teacher and teach him close-combat techniques, and Yu Tianqing agreed to do both.
• Yu Tianqing began teaching Yu Changge the Dragon Roaming Rock-Crushing Hand and planned daily training and medicinal baths to strengthen him.
• Yu Changge trained while believing his Pig Martial Soul was the juvenile form of a Golden Sacred Dragon.
• Yu Shuyao served Yu Changge meat from a ten-year Green-Scaled Snake, and Yu Tianqing promised the family would provide him with quality soul beast meat regularly.

Yu Changge tried to teach Xiao Huang to cultivate on its own, but the infant Martial Soul only played and ate Green-Scaled Snake meat. As Yu Changge resumed meditation, Xiao Huang’s meal slightly increased the speed at which he absorbed Soul Power, though he did not notice.

• Yu Changge summoned his Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and named it Xiao Huang.
• Yu Changge demonstrated meditation and tried to guide Xiao Huang through cultivating, but Xiao Huang rolled around and asked for belly rubs instead.
• Yu Changge decided Xiao Huang was too young to understand a Meditation Method and gave it saved Green-Scaled Snake meat.
• Yu Changge returned to meditating while Xiao Huang ate and napped beside the bed.
• Xiao Huang’s meal slightly increased Yu Changge’s Soul Power absorption, but he failed to notice the change.

Yu Changge began studying Martial Soul theory under Elder Yu while balancing martial training, medicinal baths, and Soul Power cultivation. At dinner, Yu Tianqing reported that Yu Xiaogang was focusing on breaking through level ten instead of studying theory.

• Yu Tianqing introduced Yu Changge to Elder Yu, who questioned his motives for studying theory.
• Yu Changge explained that theory could help him pursue a future as an instructor despite his poor talent, and Elder Yu accepted him as a student.
• Yu Changge began morning theory lessons, afternoon defensive training with Yu Tianqing, nightly Soul Power cultivation, and daily meals of Sub-Dragon meat.
• Yu Changge secretly fed leftover Sub-Dragon meat to Xiao Huang to support the Golden Sacred Dragon's growth.
• Yu Tianqing said Yu Xiaogang had no plans to study theory and was instead cultivating Soul Power with support from costly medicinal herbs.

Yu Changge discussed his cultivation, self-defense, and future training with his parents, then spent half a year steadily raising his Soul Power. After reaching rank four, his [Level Up] Hextech boosted him to rank five, leaving him on track to reach rank ten much sooner than expected.

• Yu Tianqing told Yu Changge that the family’s resources could not match Yu Xiaogang’s, but Yu Changge said he was satisfied with his cultivation conditions.
• Yu Tianqing promised to bring back dragon blood from the Star Dou Forest, and Yu Changge asked his parents to let him learn a weapon for self-defense.
• Yu Tianqing agreed that Yu Changge could choose a weapon after building a solid foundation in empty-handed combat.
• Half a year later, Yu Changge broke through from two and a half ranks of Soul Power to rank four through cultivation.
• Yu Changge’s [Level Up] Hextech activated at rank four and raised his Soul Power to rank five, shortening his expected path to rank ten.

Yu Changge reflected on his rapid cultivation and examined refined Whale Rubber, which he had discovered could improve physical strength, flexibility, and vitality. After Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao learned of the discovery, they decided to report it to Yu Yuanzhen and trade the method to the clan for cultivation resources.

• Yu Changge compared his cultivation progress with Yu Xiaogang's and recognized that his speed came from cheats and his family's resources.
• Yu Changge recalled obtaining several-decades-old Whale Rubber from the clan steward and having a Fire Attribute Soul Master refine it.
• Yu Changge told Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao that Xiao Huang had eaten roasted Whale Rubber and that he had noticed his physique improve after trying it.
• Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao examined Yu Changge, confirmed his physical improvement, and realized Whale Rubber could benefit the clan's Soul Masters and future generations.
• Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao decided to report Whale Rubber's effects to Yu Yuanzhen and exchange the discovery for resources, and Yu Changge agreed.

Yu Tianqing revealed that refining Whale Rubber could strengthen the body, earning the clan’s support and better resources for Yu Changge. Later, Yu Changge realized his Soul Power was growing faster than Yu Xiaogang’s and suspected Xiao Huang was feeding some benefit back to him.

• Yu Tianqing demonstrated refined Whale Rubber’s effect to Yu Yuanzhen, who confirmed that it improved a clan disciple’s physique.
• Yu Yuanzhen praised Yu Tianqing’s discovery and ordered the clan to discreetly acquire Whale Rubber across the continent.
• Yu Tianqing requested rare cultivation resources for Yu Changge, and Yu Yuanzhen raised Yu Changge’s resource allotment to match Yu Xiaogang’s.
• Yu Yuanzhen considered granting additional cultivation resources to Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao for their contribution.
• Yu Changge compared his cultivation progress with Yu Xiaogang’s and wondered whether feeding Sub-Dragon meat to Xiao Huang had benefited him in return.

Yu Changge discovered that Xiao Huang’s food slightly improved his physique, then continued training and practicing how quickly he could summon and recall it. During a lesson with Elder Yu, Yu Xiaogang appeared at the courtyard doorway, and Elder Yu asked what he was doing there.

• Yu Changge fed Xiao Huang Whale Glue, but noticed no immediate change until he recalled it and realized his physique had improved slightly.
• Yu Changge planned to feed Xiao Huang more sub-dragon meat and considered searching clan records for information about immortal herbs.
• Yu Changge continued studying with Elder Yu, training with Yu Tianqing, practicing staff techniques, and working to summon and recall Xiao Huang faster.
• Yu Xiaogang hovered outside Elder Yu’s courtyard, and Elder Yu asked him what he was doing there.

Yu Xiaogang urged Yu Changge to focus on cultivation, but Yu Changge defended his decision to study theory and prepare for the limits of his Martial Soul. Elder Yu reassured him that he was right and explained the clan's prejudice against Yu Xiaogang, while warning that innate soul power usually determines a soul master's limits.

• Yu Xiaogang visited Yu Changge and urged him to devote more time to cultivation, boasting that he was nearing rank three.
• Yu Changge argued that low innate soul power made bottlenecks likely and that theory could help him find a way forward.
• Yu Xiaogang dismissed Yu Changge's reasoning, repeated that there were no trash Martial Souls, only trash soul masters, and left.
• Yu Changge asked Elder Yu whether he had been wrong, and Elder Yu said Yu Xiaogang was seeking a sense of importance because the clan looked down on him.
• Elder Yu explained that innate soul power generally set a Martial Soul's limits and revealed that he had been stuck at rank seventy-five for years.

Yu Changge told his parents that his Soul Power had reached level ten and asked them to take him outside the clan to obtain his First Soul Ring. After confirming his progress, his parents celebrated and learned that feeding Sub-Dragon meat to Xiao Huang had accelerated Yu Changge’s cultivation.

• Yu Changge asked Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao to help him hunt for a First Soul Ring after reaching level ten Soul Power.
• Yu Changge recalled that the clan had obtained rare Whale Rubber through dangerous sea hunts, including a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber for his family.
• Yu Tianqing tested Yu Changge and confirmed that he had reached level ten, leaving him thrilled and emotional.
• Yu Changge explained that feeding Sub-Dragon meat to Xiao Huang had increased his cultivation speed and that Xiao Huang’s appetite was limited by his Soul Power Level.
• Yu Shuyao wondered why Yu Xiaogang had not progressed as quickly despite having the same Martial Soul as Yu Changge.

Yu Changge and his family sought to determine Xiao Huang’s attributes before choosing his first soul ring. Elder Yu proposed testing Xiao Huang’s interest in different Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast meats and his resistance to elemental attacks, leaving the family with a preliminary method rather than a certain answer.

• Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao agreed that Yu Changge should absorb a Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast soul ring, but worried that Xiao Huang’s unknown attributes could cause conflicts.
• Yu Tianqing fetched Elder Yu, who praised Yu Changge and recalled Yu Xiaogang’s earlier claim that there were no trash Martial Souls, only trash soul masters.
• Elder Yu concluded that Xiao Huang likely contained lightning and dragon bloodlines, while noting that his attributes still needed verification.
• Elder Yu presented meats from lightning-, fire-, wind-, and light-attribute Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts and suggested seeing which Xiao Huang preferred.
• Elder Yu proposed testing Xiao Huang’s resistance to soul skills as a more important way to identify his attributes, while admitting neither method could provide complete certainty.

Yu Changge tested whether Xiao Huang could identify its own attributes by choosing Soul Beast meat, then discussed how to strengthen his cultivation and learn about medicinal herbs. Elder Yu arranged future attribute tests and promised to organize his knowledge, while hinting that he knew three places Yu Changge could visit to study herbs.

• Yu Changge let Xiao Huang choose Soul Beast meat, and Xiao Huang selected Radiant Earth Dragon, Thunder-Roar Dragon Lizard, and Crimson Flame Snake meat.
• Elder Yu planned tests of Xiao Huang's resistance to light, lightning, and fire attacks, with wind and darkness as controls, before Yu Changge went to Star Dou Forest.
• Elder Yu told Yu Changge to focus more on cultivation after gaining his first soul ring and to study theory for only half an hour each day.
• Yu Changge asked about medicinal herbs that might improve his cultivation potential, and Yu Tianqing warned him not to pursue harmful shortcuts.
• Elder Yu offered to organize what he knew about medicinal herbs and mentioned three places Yu Changge could visit to learn more.

Yu Changge learned that Spirit Hall, the Breaking Clan, and the Dugu Family might hold valuable medicinal herb records, and his teacher explained how the clan leader could arrange an exchange at Spirit Hall. The adults then decided to hide Changge’s Soul Power Level until Yu Xiaogang reached level ten, hoping to keep him from exploiting Changge’s discovery.

• Elder Yu told Yu Changge that Spirit Hall had extensive records and that the Breaking Clan and Dugu Family also studied medicine, though the Dugu Family focused more on poison.
• Elder Yu explained that the clan leader could ask the Breaking Clan and Dugu Family for herb records, or use an Honorary Elder Token to send Yu Changge to study at Spirit Hall.
• Yu Changge said he hoped to visit Spirit Hall and claimed a Spirit Bone would suit his father better, then left for his room while appearing lonely.
• Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao worried that Yu Changge lacked protection against stronger Soul Beasts, while Elder Yu said they should keep his Soul Power Level secret.
• Elder Yu warned that Yu Xiaogang would use Yu Changge as experimental material if he learned Changge had reached level ten, and proposed waiting until Yu Xiaogang reached that level himself.
• Elder Yu said Yu Xiaogang would likely choose a Lightning Attribute Soul Beast for his First Soul Ring, while a further resistance test could reveal whether Xiao Huang had the Light Attribute.

Yu Changge prepared to seek a first soul ring suited to Xiao Huang’s light attribute and left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with his parents for the Star Dou Forest. The group headed toward dangerous territory in search of a suitable soul beast while keeping their real purpose quiet.

• Elder Yu decided to conceal Yu Changge’s strength until he entered Spirit Hall, and Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao agreed.
• Tests showed Xiao Huang resisted light attacks well but had only slight fire and lightning resistance, so Elder Yu advised prioritizing light-attribute sub-dragon spirit beasts.
• Yu Changge chose a first soul skill that combined a power attack with an attack or attribute boost.
• Elder Yu gave Yu Tianqing information on ten suitable soul beasts and warned him that many lived in the dangerous mixed zone of the Star Dou Forest.
• Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao took Yu Changge out of the clan under the cover story that he needed a break from training.
• Yu Xiaogang heard they had left and resolved to cultivate diligently rather than become a trash soul master.

Yu Changge and his parents searched the Star Dou Forest for a suitable Light Attribute Sub-Dragon Soul Ring and found a Radiant Holy Winged Dragon of the right age. They prepared to seize the chance after it defeated a Nether Shadow Leopard.

• Yu Tianqing took Yu Changge and Yu Shuyao by carriage to the Star Dou Forest, where they searched for a rare Light Attribute Sub-Dragon.
• Yu Tianqing rejected a roughly five-hundred-year-old Holy Light White-Scaled Snake because its Dragon Clan bloodline was too weak.
• The family continued searching for a stronger beast, passing up unsuitable spirit beasts and entering the Mixed Zone after ten days.
• Yu Tianqing spotted intense Soul Power fluctuations and led the family to watch two spirit beasts fight from a concealed slope.
• Yu Changge identified the seven-hundred-to-eight-hundred-year-old Radiant Holy Winged Dragon as his ideal target Soul Ring.
• The Radiant Holy Winged Dragon killed the over-thousand-year-old Nether Shadow Leopard, and Yu Tianqing prepared to act.

Yu Changge absorbed the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon’s Soul Ring while Xiao Huang began evolving and golden Dragon Wings emerged from Yu Changge’s back as an External Soul Bone. By dawn, he had completed the absorption, gained a major increase to his attributes, and watched Xiao Huang finish its transformation into a golden, dragon-scaled form.

• Yu Tianqing crippled the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon, and Yu Changge killed it to obtain its Soul Ring.
• Yu Changge began absorbing the nearly eight-hundred-year Soul Ring while Xiao Huang guarded him and Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao kept watch.
• As Yu Changge’s absorption stabilized, golden light enveloped Xiao Huang and a pair of golden Dragon Wings emerged from Yu Changge’s back.
• Yu Tianqing recognized the wings as a legendary External Soul Bone, and he and Yu Shuyao rejoiced at their son’s good fortune.
• At dawn, Yu Changge completed absorbing the Soul Ring and External Soul Bone, gaining a fifty-percent increase to all his attributes as Xiao Huang finished evolving into a golden form marked with the beginnings of dragon scales.

Yu Changge woke after absorbing an over-level Soul Ring, discovering that Xiao Huang had evolved and that he had gained a Radiant Dragon Wings External Soul Bone. After his family learned about his new abilities, Yu Tianqing sensed danger, and a wounded thousand-year Shadow Poison Demon Spider burst from the bushes.

• Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao celebrated Yu Changge’s successful Soul Ring absorption, the Radiant Dragon Wings, and Xiao Huang’s evolution into a golden, dragon-patterned form.
• Yu Changge explained that Xiao Huang’s Golden Dragon Breath wielded light, fire, and lightning, and said he planned to strengthen its Light Bloodline.
• Yu Changge revealed his level-fourteen Soul Power and demonstrated that his Dragon Wings enabled flight, Holy Light Dragon Wing Slash, and defensive protection.
• Yu Changge explained that his External Soul Bone boosted Xiao Huang’s Dragon Breath, while Yu Tianqing warned him to conceal his Soul Power and Soul Bone after they returned.
• Yu Tianqing sensed danger and shielded Yu Changge as a wounded thousand-year Shadow Poison Demon Spider burst from the bushes.

Yu Changge used Xiao Huang to drive off an injured Shadow Poison Demon Spider, then met Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji in the forest. Qian Xunji claimed the beast for Bibi Dong’s Second Soul Ring, while Yu Tianqing saw a chance to introduce Yu Changge to Spirit Hall.

• Yu Changge ordered Xiao Huang to use Golden Dragon Breath on the charging Shadow Poison Demon Spider, blasting it into a tree.
• Bibi Dong ran from the bushes and asked Yu Changge to show mercy because the Demon Spider was meant for her Second Soul Ring.
• Qian Xunji identified Yu Tianqing and his wife as members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and asked them to let Bibi Dong have the beast.
• Yu Tianqing recognized Qian Xunji as the Pope of Spirit Hall and agreed to give him the Demon Spider.
• Bibi Dong introduced herself, asked Yu Changge about his Martial Soul, and praised his progress after hearing that it had mutated into a Pig.

After Yu Changge left, Qian Xunji became intrigued by his unusual Martial Soul and decided to investigate his talent. He also sought a way to bring Yu Changge to Spirit Hall, while Bibi Dong prepared to absorb her Second Soul Ring.

• Yu Changge left with the others after finishing his First Soul Ring, and they stored the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon for Xiao Huang to consume.
• Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong discussed Yu Changge’s mutation and cultivation, and they bet on whether his Innate Soul Power matched Bibi Dong’s estimate.
• Qian Xunji took Bibi Dong to kill the dying Demon Spider so she could absorb her Second Soul Ring, and he noticed the purity of the radiance power lingering within it.
• Qian Xunji recalled Yu Changge’s interest in texts and began thinking of a way to lure him to Spirit Hall without making the invitation seem suspicious.
