Qian Xunji told Qian Daoliu how Yu Changge’s Soul Core theory had helped him reach Rank Ninety and asked for help obtaining a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Impressed by the Soul Core, Qian Daoliu gave Qian Xunji a God-Bestowed Soul Ring that could grant him a ring suited to his limits.

• Qian Xunji decided to ask Qian Daoliu to help find and hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and promised Yu Changge that he would protect him and seek benefits for him.
• Qian Daoliu sensed that Qian Xunji had reached Rank Ninety and asked how he had advanced so quickly.
• Qian Xunji revealed Yu Changge’s achievements and explained the Soul Core Condensation Theory, then let Qian Daoliu inspect the Soul Core in his body.
• Qian Daoliu was amazed by the Soul Core and gave Qian Xunji a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, saying it could grant him a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring if his will was strong enough.

After absorbing a God-Bestowed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Qian Xunji reached Rank 92 and challenged Qian Daoliu to a spar so he could demonstrate his new Ninth Soul Skill. He brought Bibi Dong and Yu Changge to the Worship Hall, where the gathered Worshippers questioned Yu Changge’s importance and Azure Luan volunteered to fight Qian Xunji.

• Qian Xunji absorbed the God-Bestowed Soul Ring over three days and three nights, raising his Ninth Soul Ring to one hundred thousand years and reaching the peak of Rank 92.
• Qian Xunji invited Qian Daoliu to spar so he could reveal his new Soul Skills, and Qian Daoliu agreed.

• Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Lion gathered in the Worship Hall and studied Yu Changge with curiosity.
• Azure Luan offered to spar with Qian Xunji, who warned that Azure Luan could not withstand his Ninth Soul Skill head-on.

Qian Xunji revealed his Ninth Soul Ring’s God of Angels skill and used it to match Qian Daoliu’s attack in a high-altitude spar. The elders were astonished by the skill’s power, but Mighty Lion Douluo questioned whether it would become useless once Qian Xunji reached the Peerless Douluo realm.

• Qian Xunji asked Azure Luan to protect the children while he sparred with Qian Daoliu, and the onlookers followed them into the sky.
• Qian Xunji activated God of Angels, transforming his six wings into twelve and temporarily gaining strength close to a Peerless Douluo’s.
• Qian Xunji fired Angel’s Glory, and Qian Daoliu countered with Angel’s Descent and Angel’s Judgment; their attacks clashed in a draw.
• Qian Xunji’s enhancement ended after ten seconds, and he returned to his Ninety-Second Rank while the others marveled at his power.
• Qian Xunji explained that God of Angels would last thirty seconds if he reached the Super Douluo rank, and Mighty Lion Douluo asked whether the skill would become useless if Qian Xunji reached the Peerless Douluo realm.

Yu Changge explained how he developed the Soul Core and revealed that its condensation had a possible second stage that could help a rank-ninety-eight Soul Master advance. He then described why he had kept his cultivation and research discreet, leaving Qian Daoliu and the others interested in testing his unfinished theory.

• Qian Xunji argued that his ninth soul skill would transform rather than become ineffective when he reached the Peerless Douluo level, and Qian Daoliu agreed to discuss it later.
• Qian Daoliu invited Yu Changge into the Worship Hall to explain his Soul Core research, and Yu Changge described its development from an Exotic Beast’s Inner Pellet to a core inside a human body.
• Golden Crocodile asked whether a Soul Core could help him break through from rank ninety-eight to rank ninety-nine, and Yu Changge said it might before revealing a possible second stage of condensation.
• Yu Changge offered to explain the second stage and let Qian Daoliu try it if he promised not to harm the Blue Lightning Family, while Qian Daoliu questioned Yu Changge’s trust in his family.
• Yu Changge explained that he had pursued theory because his mutated Martial Soul and Innate Half-Level Soul Power limited his prospects, and that his teacher and parents had supported his research and Xiao Huang.
• Yu Changge said his teacher and parents advised him to keep his plan to obtain a first soul ring from the family, since his branch lacked the influence of the Clan Head’s line.

Yu Changge explained his conflict with Yu Xiaogang and revealed how Soul Masters could condense Soul Cores from Soul Power and spiritual power. After the elders promised to protect his family, Qian Daoliu successfully condensed a Holy Soul Core, leaving the others ready to follow.

• Yu Changge explained that Yu Xiaogang had provoked him, insulted his teacher, and demanded his research, then described how he discovered Xiao Huang's three attributes.
• Qian Xunji and the others praised the testing method, and Qian Daoliu promised that Spirit Hall would not harm Yu Changge's family and would help if he needed it.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo invited Yu Changge to call the elders his grandfathers, and Yu Changge accepted their support while planning to reveal his strength later.
• Yu Changge explained that spiritual power could form a second Soul Core, though it would conflict with the Attribute Soul Core and require the two to resonate.
• The elders decided to condense their Attribute Soul Cores one at a time, and Qian Daoliu formed a Holy Soul Core in less than half a day, greatly increasing his strength.

Qian Daoliu explained Soul Cores and the ranks of powerful Title Douluo while protecting the elders as they condensed their own Soul Cores. He described his rivalry with Tang Chen and refused Qian Xunji’s suggestion to learn Ring Detonation, leaving Yu Changge and Qian Xunji speechless.

• Qian Daoliu said condensing a Holy Soul Core had made his Soul Power more solid and urged Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Lion to condense their Attribute Soul Cores.
• Qian Daoliu explained to Yu Changge that Soul Cores and high-quality Spirit Bones could strengthen Soul Power and help Title Douluo break through bottlenecks.
• Qian Daoliu described Peerless Douluo and said he and Tang Chen were evenly matched unless Tang Chen used Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer.
• Yu Changge pointed out that Qian Daoliu could outlast Tang Chen’s Ring Detonation by using his flight advantage, but Qian Daoliu said he preferred to clash head-on.
• Qian Xunji suggested that Qian Daoliu try Ring Detonation, but Qian Daoliu refused to take Clear Sky Sect’s inherited secret art.

Yu Changge proposed new ranks for Peerless Douluo and helped Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Mighty Lion condense Soul Cores, while Qian Daoliu attempted to form a second Spiritual Soul Core. Qian Daoliu failed to complete it but formed a mental cyclone, and he realized that achieving a true Soul Core and resonance would take years of patient effort.

• Yu Changge proposed the Demigod, Quasi-Demigod, and Quasi-God ranks, and Qian Daoliu agreed that he qualified as a Demigod because he could use Angel Divine Power.
• Qian Daoliu explained that his access to Angel Divine Power was limited, while Yu Changge judged that dual Soul Cores alone were unlikely to let him reach the Quasi-God realm.
• Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Mighty Lion condensed attribute Soul Cores; Golden Crocodile advanced to rank ninety-nine, while Azure Luan and Mighty Lion reached rank ninety-seven.
• Qian Daoliu began cultivating a second Spiritual Soul Core as Yu Changge observed and the three worshippers guarded him.
• After a month, Qian Daoliu failed to form a complete Spiritual Soul Core but condensed a mental cyclone that strengthened and renewed his mental power.
• Qian Daoliu concluded that forming a Spiritual Soul Core and achieving resonance would require years of careful cultivation.

• Qian Daoliu thanked Yu Changge for helping with his Spiritual Soul Core attempt and asked to see his unusual Martial Soul.
• Yu Changge released Xiao Huang, whose ten-meter golden dragon form impressed Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other elders.
• Qian Daoliu sensed a trace of Lightning Attribute within Xiao Huang’s otherwise dominant Light Attribute.
• Qian Daoliu offered to remove the Lightning Attribute, and Yu Changge excitedly asked if he could do it right away.
• Qian Daoliu confirmed that he could remove it as a small favor in return for Yu Changge’s Soul Core Theory.

Qian Daoliu used Angel Divine Power to remove Xiao Huang’s Lightning Attribute and strengthen its Light Attribute, while Yu Changge received a promised future soul beast hunt and a new suit of armor from Qian Xunji. Yu Changge returned to his bedchamber, exhausted and ready to reward himself with a restful night.

• Qian Daoliu purified Xiao Huang with Angel Divine Power, removing its Lightning Attribute and transforming it into a Radiant Sacred Dragon.

• Yu Changge returned to his bedchamber exhausted and decided to reward himself that night.

Yu Changge considered whether Body Martial Souls still existed and decided to have Spirit Hall search its records for people once classified as oddities. He raised the possibility of the human body awakening as a Martial Soul while discussing Martial Soul theory with Bibi Dong.

• Yu Changge reconsidered why Body Martial Soul users might have gone unnoticed, reasoning that many could have had low Innate Soul Power before their Second Awakening.
• Yu Changge recalled that early Body Martial Soul users had been regarded as oddities until the first sect master of the Body Sect discovered their potential.
• Yu Changge decided Spirit Hall should search its many collections for records of those oddities rather than search the books himself.
• Yu Changge asked Bibi Dong whether a person's whole body or a body part could awaken directly as a Martial Soul.
• Bibi Dong stared at Yu Changge in astonishment at his theory.

Yu Changge proposed that a person's body part could exist as a martial soul, and Qian Xunji confirmed that such rare martial souls had appeared in the past. The chapter ends as Qian Xunji hints at a powerful, familiar Spirit Hall figure who might be a modern example.

• Yu Changge explained to Bibi Dong that his Golden Dragon Claw was a bodily transformation, then suggested that body parts capable of bearing soul rings could be a new kind of martial soul.
• Bibi Dong urged Yu Changge to ask Qian Xunji about the possibility, and they went to find him in the Pope Palace.
• Yu Changge presented his theory to Qian Xunji, who confirmed that body-part martial souls had existed and were historically called “aberrants.”
• Qian Xunji explained that these martial souls were extremely rare and usually belonged to people with low innate cultivation talent, so Spirit Hall had seldom recorded them.
• Yu Changge asked whether any talented Body Martial Soul users existed, and Qian Xunji hinted at a powerful, familiar person in Spirit Hall whose martial soul might fit the description.

Qian Xunji explained how Gui Mei’s soul became his Martial Soul, prompting Yu Changge to consider studying Body Martial Souls. He then described beast-trait mutants who are treated as slaves, leaving Bibi Dong shocked and angry at their fate.

• Qian Xunji explained that Gui Mei’s childhood false death caused his soul to reunite with his body and become a special Martial Soul.
• Yu Changge proposed studying Body Martial Souls and exploring whether other body parts could awaken as Martial Souls.
• Qian Xunji recalled a group of mutated Soul Masters whose permanent beast traits could make them targets for illegal capture and enslavement.
• Bibi Dong reacted with disbelief and anger as Qian Xunji explained that these mutants could cultivate but were often seized by nobles.

Qian Xunji arranged for Spirit Hall to acquire beast-like slaves so Yu Changge could study their Martial Souls, but Yu Changge found their mutations too restrictive to copy. A year and a half later, Yu Changge had reached level fifty, and Qian Xunji marveled at his rapid progress.

• Bibi Dong asked Qian Xunji whether Spirit Hall could help enslaved people, and he explained why the organization could not save them all.
• Qian Xunji negotiated with the royal family and major sects to buy beast-like slaves, then assigned Spirit Hall researchers to study them with Yu Changge.
• Yu Changge examined five slaves and found that their partially mutated Body Martial Souls were not the unrestricted True Self Martial Soul he wanted.
• Yu Changge detected Gui Mei's Soul Martial Soul and learned the Martial Soul Replicator's rules for adapting copied Martial Souls to his talent, body, and first Martial Soul's quality.
• A year and a half later, twelve-and-a-half-year-old Yu Changge reached level fifty, and Qian Xunji attributed his rapid growth to his External Beast Martial Soul.

Yu Changge received news that his mother had reached level eighty while his teacher neared the same breakthrough, and he arranged for them to hunt Soul Beasts with help from Spirit Hall. Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming arrived in Spirit City to find two Title Douluo assigned to guide them.

• Yu Changge told Bibi Dong that he had invited Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming to hunt for eighth Soul Rings after reaching level fifty.
• Yu Changge read that Yu Shuyao had reached level eighty and Yu Ming had reached the peak of level seventy-nine, so the three planned to travel together.
• Bibi Dong lamented that she was still level forty-eight and could not join Yu Changge on the expedition.
• Seven days later, Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming arrived in Spirit City, where Yue Guan escorted them directly to Pope Palace.
• Yue Guan told the three that he and Gui Mei would lead their Soul Beast hunt, surprising them with Spirit Hall's assistance.

Qian Xunji assigned Yue Guan and Gui Mei to accompany Yu Changge on a dangerous Soul Hunting Operation, while telling Bibi Dong he intended her to become Spirit Hall’s next Pope. Bibi Dong accepted reluctantly and urged Qian Xunji to find a wife so she would not have to govern forever.

• Qian Xunji told Yu Changge that Yue Guan and Gui Mei would accompany him to hunt powerful Lightning-attribute, Dragon-blooded Soul Beasts for Yu Tianqing and the others.
• Qian Xunji promised to introduce Yu Changge to Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo after the Soul Hunting Operation.
• Bibi Dong asked to join Yu Changge’s group, but Qian Xunji refused and told her to focus on cultivating until she could become Spirit Hall’s Saintess and future Pope.
• Bibi Dong questioned why Qian Xunji would choose her as successor instead of someone from the Qian Clan, and he explained that he did not plan to marry or have a child soon.
• Bibi Dong complained that Qian Xunji was dumping Spirit Hall’s responsibilities on her, then reluctantly agreed to serve temporarily and told him to find a wife.

Yu Changge reunited with his parents and teacher at Spirit Hall and explained how much he had accomplished there. As the Yu Clan’s inquiries about him continued, his family worried that a summons home would expose his secrets and anger the Clan Head.

• Qian Xunji welcomed Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming, arranged their lodging, and told them they could visit the Star Dou Forest the next day.
• Yu Changge reunited with his parents and teacher, then spent an hour explaining his work in Spirit Hall, including his Soul Core and Xiao Huang’s transformation into a Radiant Sacred Dragon.
• Elder Yu said Yu Changge no longer needed to hide from the Yu Clan and noted that Yu Xiaogang had reached Rank 19 and was nearing Rank 20.
• Yu Changge explained that Qian Xunji had answered the clan’s inquiries with a partly true account of his First Soul Ring and his research outside Spirit Hall.
• Yu Tianqing worried that the clan would soon summon Yu Changge home, where his secrets might be exposed and the Clan Head might punish them.

Yu Changge and his family discussed his rising strength and their future within the clan, then he taught his parents and Yu Ming how to form Soul Power Vortices. The next morning, Yu Changge’s group departed for the Star Dou Forest to hunt a soul beast, while Bibi Dong stayed behind at Pope Palace.

• Yu Ming argued that the clan would favor Yu Changge over Yu Xiaogang and that their family could eventually produce three Title Douluo.
• Yu Changge worried that his family and teacher might face rumors, but Yu Ming said their actions had targeted Yu Xiaogang rather than the clan.
• Yu Changge said he was not attached to the clan or interested in becoming Clan Head, and he and the others agreed to keep their relationship with the clan cordial.
• Yu Changge taught Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming how to gather Soul Power Vortices, giving Yu Ming a chance to break through his level seventy-nine bottleneck.
• Yu Changge, his parents, Yu Ming, Chrysanthemum, and Ghost Douluo departed for the Star Dou Forest while Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji watched them leave.

Yu Luomian visited Liu Erlong and promised to take her to hunt a second soul ring once she reached Rank Twenty, while she remained determined to bring her mother into the clan herself one day. At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang faced more ridicule over his Martial Soul and fired his fart-based soul skill at the clansmen mocking him.

• Yu Luomian praised Liu Erlong's talent, promised to help her obtain a second soul ring, and left after visiting her and Liu Shuang.
• Liu Erlong told Liu Shuang that she resented Yu Luomian but did not hate him, and vowed to bring her mother into the clan when she became strong.
• Several clansmen mocked Yu Xiaogang by comparing his breath attack with Yu Changge's and making fun of Luo Sanpao.
• Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao and fired his First Soul Skill, Fart Like Thunder, Heaven-Shattering Luo Sanpao, at the three clansmen.
• The clansmen put on masks and fled, taunting Yu Xiaogang as they went.
