Her first use of the form went awry when two Underworld Spiders slipped past Xiao Huang and charged at Yu Changge, leaving him to choose how to defend himself.

• Elder Yu proposed that Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao become vice deans at Thunder Academy and that he join them later to avoid drawing suspicion in the clan.

Elder Yu arranged for Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao to move to Thunder Academy, while Yu Changge absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and tested whether Xiao Huang could cultivate independently. Xiao Huang appeared to absorb energy on its own, slightly increasing Yu Changge’s Soul Power.

• Qian Xunji gave Yu Changge a Spirit-Storing Hundred-Treasure Pouch with thirty cubic meters of space that could store living creatures.
• Qian Xunji offered to teach Yu Changge how to conceal his Soul Elder aura and explained that his Light Attribute could also let him change his Soul Ring colors.
• Bibi Dong asked to learn the Soul Ring color-changing technique, but Qian Xunji said she could not because her Martial Soul lacked the Light Attribute.
• Yu Changge asked Qian Xunji to find him a powerful opponent for a sparring match.

Yu Changge asked Qian Xunji to spar so he could test his abilities without exposing them to others, and Qian Xunji agreed. During their match, Yu Changge used a blinding Dragon Breath and made Xiao Huang appear behind Qian Xunji, surprising him with what looked like teleportation.

• Qian Xunji agreed to spar with Yu Changge and led him and Bibi Dong to a Martial Arts Arena.
• Bibi Dong complained that Yu Changge had not asked her to spar, and Qian Xunji explained that her current abilities put him at a disadvantage.

• Yu Changge asked Qian Xunji whether Title Douluo also quickly ran out of Soul Power after repeatedly using their seventh, eighth, and ninth Soul Skills.

Yu Changge raised the possibility of a way for soul masters to recover Soul Power more effectively, after Qian Xunji promised Spirit Hall would not harm his clan if his research helped Title Douluo. He ended by proposing that soul masters might condense a Soul Core within their bodies.

• Qian Xunji explained that high-level soul skills consumed Soul Power quickly and that Spirit Hall's theoretical masters had found no solution.
• Yu Changge hinted that he had an idea requiring a Title Douluo to test, and Qian Xunji teased him for looking down on his current rank.
• Yu Changge voiced fears that Spirit Hall might target the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan if his theory strengthened its Title Douluo, so Qian Xunji swore on his Six-Winged Angel martial soul to protect the clan.
• Qian Xunji joked that he would betroth Bibi Dong to Yu Changge, making Bibi Dong blush and Yu Changge insist that he saw her only as his sworn sister.
• Yu Changge trusted Qian Xunji's oath and proposed that soul masters might condense a Soul Core inside their bodies to help recover Soul Power.

Yu Changge explained his soul-core theory to Qian Xunji by comparing it to exotic beasts’ inner pellets, then guided him through compressing soul power from gas into a solid. Qian Xunji grasped how a soul core could replenish a soul master’s power and said he had two reliable candidates in mind for testing the idea.

• Qian Xunji asked Yu Changge how he came up with the concept of a soul core, and Yu Changge connected it to ancient records of exotic beasts’ inner pellets.
• Yu Changge asked Qian Xunji to compress a wisp of soul-power gas, and Qian Xunji turned it first into liquid and then into a solid chunk.
• Qian Xunji recognized that a soul core could store and circulate soul power, improving a soul master’s ability to fight for extended periods.
• Yu Changge warned that forming a soul core inside the body would be dangerous and more likely to succeed near level ninety.
• Qian Xunji said he had two dependable candidates in mind and would introduce them to Yu Changge.

Yu Changge and Qian Xunji discussed using Yue Guan and Gui Mei for Soul Core experiments, and Qian Xunji left to seek the Angel Trials after feeling belittled. Meanwhile, Dugu Bo emerged from a month of pill refining with a medicine that could suppress his family’s Martial Soul poison and protect Bai Zhi.

• Qian Xunji told Yu Changge and Bibi Dong that Yue Guan and Gui Mei, both ninety-third-rank Title Douluo, would return from a mission soon and could take part in the Soul Core experiment.
• Yu Changge cautioned that forming a Soul Core would be difficult and that Qian Xunji and one other Title Douluo might not be enough to ensure their safety.
• Qian Xunji felt Yu Changge had insulted his cultivation and left for the Worship Hall to ask Qian Daoliu to begin his Angel Trials.
• Dugu Bo emerged from a month of seclusion with pills that could suppress the Dugu Family’s Martial Soul poison for one or two years and purge toxins from Bai Zhi.
• Dugu Bo explained that the pills could prevent Bai Zhi from suffering Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom backlash during pregnancy, then gave pills to her and Dugu Xin, who took them.

Dugu Bo told Dugu Xin and Bai Zhi that a benefactor had cured their inherited Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom and urged them to repay Yu Changge’s kindness. The next day, Qian Xunji visited the Worship Hall to begin the Angel Trials, hoping to strengthen himself and pursue condensing a Soul Core.

• Dugu Bo explained that a benefactor from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had cleared the family’s venom, while keeping Yu Changge’s use of his blood secret.
• Dugu Bo told Dugu Xin to help Yu Changge and his parents if they ever needed assistance, and said their family’s future freedom from martial soul backlash depended on them.
• Dugu Bo urged Dugu Xin and Bai Zhi to have a child, but they said they wanted to focus on cultivation.
• Qian Xunji went to the Worship Hall and asked Qian Daoliu to initiate the family’s Angel Trials.
• Qian Xunji said he wanted to become stronger and hoped to condense a Soul Core before Yue Guan and Gui Mei succeeded.

Qian Xunji began the Angel’s Sixth Trial and prepared to spend a hundred days tempering his Soul Power. He then asked Yue Guan and Gui Mei to test Yu Changge’s Soul Core theory, offering each a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone if they succeeded.

• Qian Xunji accepted the Angel Trials, and the Angel God assigned him the first trial: temper his Soul Power in the Angel Holy Temple for one hundred days.
• Qian Xunji postponed the trial so he could arrange affairs in the Pope Palace and hand them over to Ju and Gui.
• Qian Xunji summoned Yue Guan and Gui Mei and explained Yu Changge’s Soul Core theory to them.
• Yue Guan questioned the risks of condensing a Soul Core, while Qian Xunji offered each of them a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone for succeeding.

Qian Xunji assigned Yue Guan and Gui Mei to experiment with condensing Soul Cores while he entered seclusion for the First Angel Trial. As Yu Changge considered how to use his newly available training time, he hit upon Ring Fusion as a potentially effective ability to learn.

• Qian Xunji persuaded Yue Guan and Gui Mei to attempt Soul Core condensation, forbidding them from seeking help from other elders or revealing Yu Changge’s role.
• Qian Xunji entered seclusion to undergo the First Angel Trial, while Yu Changge delivered nourishing ingredients and Yue Guan and Gui Mei reported their experimental results to him every three days.
• Yu Changge completed his training with Xiao Huang and realized that mastering it now required only half an hour each day.
• Yu Changge decided that deliberately practicing Self-Created Soul Skills was less worthwhile than other training and thought of Ring Fusion.

Yu Changge began training in Ring Fusion and managed to fuse a tiny trace of energy between his first and second Soul Rings, proving he had the talent for the technique. He realized he needed an experienced guide and thought of the Holy Angel Family’s Holy Fusion Technique as a possible source of instruction.

• Yu Changge chose Ring Fusion as the secret technique most useful for improving his combat strength.
• Yu Changge summoned his first and second Soul Rings and struggled to combine their energies.
• Yu Changge briefly fused a trace of energy between the Soul Rings before exhausting his Soul Power and collapsing.
• Yu Changge realized his successful attempt proved he had the potential to learn Ring Fusion.
• Yu Changge considered seeking guidance from someone familiar with the Holy Fusion Technique of the Holy Angel Family.

Yu Changge developed Soul Power Vortex theory, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei successfully formed vortices as the first step toward condensing Soul Cores. After completing the First Angel Trial and rising to level eighty-eight, Qian Xunji returned to the Pope Palace and found their experiments ready to advance.

• Yu Changge reasoned that Qian Daoliu might possess a secret technique that let him withstand Tang Chen's Ring Detonation without using Angel Divine Power.
• Qian Xunji completed the First Angel Trial, rising from level eighty-four to level eighty-eight in a hundred days, and postponed beginning his second trial so he could return to his duties as Pope.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei told Yu Changge that they had formed Soul Power Vortices in their Dantians and felt their Soul Power circulation and recovery improve.
• Yu Changge warned Yue Guan and Gui Mei that compressing a vortex into a crystal to form a Soul Core was dangerous, so they had focused on stabilizing their vortices.
• Qian Xunji entered the Cultivation Room, teased Yue Guan for speaking about him, and surprised Yue Guan and Gui Mei with his stronger aura.

Yu Changge oversaw Yue Guan and Gui Mei as they condensed Yang and Yin Soul Cores, each breaking through to the Ninety-Fifth Rank. Qian Xunji agreed to wait until he reached level eighty-nine before attempting a Soul Core and promised the two Spirit Bone rewards.

• Qian Xunji chose Yue Guan to condense a Soul Core first, and he and Gui Mei helped suppress the dangerous energy.
• After a day and night, Yue Guan formed a Yang Core, broke through to the Ninety-Fifth Rank, and described how it improved his Soul Power recovery and endurance.
• The next day, Gui Mei formed an Yin Core with Yue Guan's help and also advanced from the Ninety-Fourth to the Ninety-Fifth Rank.
• Qian Xunji asked to condense his own Soul Core, but Yu Changge advised him to wait until he reached level eighty-nine and said he could begin forming a Soul Power Vortex.
