Chapter Summaries

Six-year-old Feng Yun faced Meng Yiran’s attempt to break their engagement and challenged her to a duel in three years. He returned home hoping his mother’s ring held a hidden mentor, and a mysterious woman appeared from its green light.

• Meng Yiran demanded to break her engagement to Feng Yun, citing his Innate Level Three soul power.
• Feng Yun defended his father and the Wind Sword Sect, then proposed a three-year duel that Meng Yiran accepted.
• Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang left with Meng Yiran after acknowledging the agreement.
• Feng Bailong asked whether Feng Yun was confident, and Feng Yun claimed that he was.
• Feng Yun tried to awaken someone inside his mother’s ring, and a green light formed into a beautiful woman.
• Feng Yun mistook the woman for an old man, and she asked whether she seemed very old.

Feng Yun met Yun Yun, the remnant soul who had awakened inside his ring, and learned that she had absorbed most of his innate soul power. He discovered that she had not yet met Xiao Yan in person, leaving him hopeful about when she had arrived from the Dou Qi Continent.

• Feng Yun apologized for calling Yun Yun an old grandpa and asked who she was and how she had entered the ring.
• Yun Yun introduced herself as the ninth-generation sect master of the Cloud Mist Sect and explained that spatial turbulence had swept her from the Tagor Desert into the Douluo Continent.
• Yun Yun said Feng Yun's martial-soul awakening had supplied the power that revived her, and she had unconsciously absorbed his abundant innate soul power, lowering his test result to level three.
• Feng Yun reassured Yun Yun that he did not blame her and considered having her in the ring a worthwhile trade.
• Feng Yun asked whether Yun Yun knew Yao Yan or Xiao Yan, and Yun Yun said she knew Xiao Yan only as Nalan Yanran's fiancé.

Feng Yun persuaded Yun Yun to compensate him for the soul power she had accidentally absorbed by teaching him a Dou Qi cultivation method. After Yun Yun passed on the Wind Soaring Art and returned to rest inside his ring, Feng Yun began cultivating, determined to grow strong before the three-year agreement.

• Yun Yun passed the nine-level Wind Soaring Art into Feng Yun's mind, then grew faint and returned to the ring to rest.
• Feng Yun celebrated his chance to learn Dou Qi, vowed to defeat Meng Yiran in three years, and began cultivating the Wind Soaring Art.

Feng Yun’s Wind Soaring Art raised his cultivation and transformed his soul power into wind-attribute dou qi, while Yun Yun helped him discover a sword martial soul connected to her. After testing its power, he learned he needed stronger cultivation and a tougher body before he could use her Dou Techniques.

• Yun Yun examined Feng Yun’s wind-attribute power and explained that it was a special form of dou qi that let him use wind attacks without soul rings.

• Yun Yun told Feng Yun he needed to reach level ten and strengthen his body before learning her Extreme Wind Dou Technique.
• Feng Yun considered asking Feng Bailong to get him whale glue to improve his physique.

Feng Yun offered to help Yun Yun recover her wounded soul, and she accepted him as her disciple, teaching him three rules for their master-disciple relationship. After Yun Yun returned to the ring to rest, Feng Yun decided that his rules left room for mischief.

• Feng Yun woke hungry and found Yun Yun watching the sunset with a melancholy expression as she thought about the Dou Qi Continent and Yanran.
• Yun Yun explained that her injured soul needed abundant soul power or a heavenly treasure to recover, and Feng Yun began considering possible sources.
• Yun Yun offered to accept Feng Yun as her disciple and teach him the Cloud Mist Sect's wind-attribute arts, and Feng Yun eagerly agreed.
• Yun Yun instructed Feng Yun to respect his master, cultivate diligently, and not deceive his master or betray his ancestors.
• Yun Yun returned to the ring to rest, and Feng Yun concluded that her three rules did not forbid a rebellious disciple from making a move on his master.

After Feng Yun’s broken engagement with Meng Yiran, she vowed to defeat him in three years while her grandparents regretted how the engagement had been handled. Feng Yun accepted a second three-year challenge from Feng Lie and headed to find his father for Whale Glue.

• Meng Yiran angrily trained and vowed to defeat Feng Yun in three years, while Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang admitted their engagement-breaking had been improper and agreed to apologize later.
• Feng Yun meditated, noted his wind-attribute soul power was nearing rank ten, and set out to ask his father for Whale Glue to strengthen his body.
• Feng Lie mocked Feng Yun over the broken engagement and challenged him to fight at the sect grand competition in three years.
• Feng Yun accepted the challenge, told Feng Lie he would not be the loser, and continued toward the sect master's hall.

Feng Yun swallowed thousand-year whale glue and passed out from its intense effects, unknowingly clinging to Yun Yun while she comforted him. The next morning, Yun Yun learned the whale glue had caused his strange behavior, while Feng Yun remained unaware of what had happened overnight.

• Feng Yun swallowed the thousand-year whale glue Feng Bailong had given him, and its heat overwhelmed him until he lost consciousness.
• Yun Yun emerged from the ring and found Feng Yun flushed and writhing on the bed, then let him cling to her while she comforted him.
• Feng Yun woke the next morning, mistook the events of the night for an embarrassing dream, and scolded himself for thinking about Yun Yun.
• Yun Yun appeared beside the bed and asked what had happened, and Feng Yun explained that he had taken whale glue to improve his physique.
• Yun Yun realized the whale glue had caused Feng Yun's behavior, while Feng Yun dismissed the reaction as the substance being too nourishing for his young body.

Feng Yun discovered that Yun Yun could touch him and learned his body had improved after taking thousand-year Whale Glue. Yun Yun returned to her ring to recover, leaving Feng Yun determined to train, obtain immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and restore her body.

• Yun Yun examined Feng Yun and found that his physical constitution had improved after absorbing the thousand-year Whale Glue.
• Feng Yun realized Yun Yun could touch only him, while Yun Yun concealed the mark left by his unconscious contact the previous night.

• Feng Yun vowed to double his training so he could surprise Yun Yun when she awoke.

Feng Yun reached level ten after a month of cultivation and asked Feng Bailong to take him to hunt for his first soul ring. Yun Yun had recovered enough to watch him through the ring, but chose to stay hidden so he could grow independent.

• Feng Bailong confirmed Feng Yun had reached level ten and warned him to build his strength on a steady foundation.
• Feng Bailong agreed to personally take Feng Yun to hunt for his first soul ring.

Feng Yun persuaded Feng Bailong to let him pursue a first soul ring close to a thousand years old by claiming his body could withstand it. As they headed toward a valley where wind-attribute soul beasts gathered, Yun Yun wondered about Feng Yun’s hidden knowledge and identity.

• Feng Yun told Feng Bailong he wanted a wind-attribute soul ring close to a thousand years old, and cited his mysterious master’s theory that a soul master’s physique determined the limit.
• Feng Bailong examined Feng Yun and found that his physical condition was far beyond that of an ordinary child.
• Feng Yun affirmed that he understood the danger of absorbing an over-limit soul ring and trusted his master and his own body.
• Feng Bailong agreed to search for a suitable soul beast and led Feng Yun toward a cliff valley deep in Soul Hunting Forest.
• Yun Yun realized she had never taught Feng Yun the theory he used, recalled his questions about Yao Yan and Xiao Yan, and resolved to uncover his secrets.

Feng Yun absorbed a nine-hundred-year Emerald Demon Bird, and the soul ring transformed from yellow to purple during the process, raising his soul power to level thirteen. He discovered that his first soul skill boosted his wind affinity and attacks while letting him reduce friction and air resistance, and Feng Bailong warned him to keep the ring’s evolution secret.

• Feng Bailong captured a nine-hundred-year Emerald Demon Bird for Feng Yun, who killed it and began absorbing its yellow soul ring.
• As Feng Yun absorbed the ring, an azure wind vortex surrounded him and transformed the ring into a thousand-year purple one, raising his soul power three levels.
• Feng Bailong urged Feng Yun to conceal the ring’s evolution and explain the phenomenon to outsiders as a trait of his martial soul.
• Feng Yun discovered that Flowing Wind Empowerment permanently increased his wind affinity and control and boosted wind-element attacks by fifty percent.
• Feng Yun explained that Flowing Wind Empowerment could also weaken or eliminate friction and air resistance for half an hour, and he began considering how to use it to reach extreme speeds.

Feng Yun stayed in the Soul Hunting Forest after Feng Bailong left, where Yun Yun revealed that she had recovered enough to communicate with him through the Ring. She taught Feng Yun four basic Dou Techniques and began preparing him for long-term cultivation and real combat against soul beasts.

• Feng Yun convinced Feng Bailong to leave him in the Soul Hunting Forest so he could cultivate, and Feng Bailong gave him a signal flare for emergencies.
• After Feng Bailong departed, Yun Yun appeared from the Ring, and Feng Yun joyfully hugged her and learned that she had regained consciousness and could communicate mentally.
• Yun Yun gave Feng Yun the Wind Blade Art, Gale Stab, Wind Soaring Step, and Steel Essence Armor, but told him he was not yet strong enough to learn Extreme Wind.
• Yun Yun told Feng Yun he would train in the forest by practicing Dou Techniques, fighting soul beasts, and learning to survive on his own.
• Feng Yun eagerly asked when they would begin, and Yun Yun answered that training would start immediately.

Feng Yun hunted down and killed a four-thousand-year Mandala Snake in the Soul Hunting Forest, testing his wind skills and sword techniques. After defeating it, he left its deep purple soul ring rising from the corpse.

• Feng Yun used Wind Soaring Step and Wind Blade Art to evade the Mandala Snake's poison and wound it as he led it to a clearing.
• Feng Yun used Sharp Wind Condensation and Gale Stab to cut through the snake's scales, then withstood its tail strike using Steel Essence Armor.
• The Mandala Snake tried to flee, but Feng Yun overtook it and slashed its neck with three reinforced wind blades.
• Feng Yun pierced the Mandala Snake's head with a maximum-power Gale Stab, killing it and revealing its deep purple soul ring.

After two and a half years of training in Soul Hunting Forest, Feng Yun earned Yun Yun’s praise for mastering four Dou Techniques and using his twin martial souls effectively. Yun Yun reminded him that his three-year agreement with the Wind Sword Sect was only half a year away, and Feng Yun eagerly asked to return.

• Yun Yun praised Feng Yun for bringing four high-level Yellow Rank Dou Techniques to major achievement and said few peers could match him.
• Feng Yun showed Yun Yun the Green Phoenix Sword and explained that he used it to amplify wind attacks rather than fight in melee.

• Yun Yun told Feng Yun that half a year remained before the agreement came due, and Feng Yun eagerly asked to return to the sect.

Feng Yun stopped at Youjian Inn during a storm and befriended Nannan, but a black-robed attacker killed her and her mother with blood-draining purple vines. Feng Yun fled into the forest and vowed to kill the attacker.

• Feng Yun escaped into the forest using Wind Soaring Step and Flowing Wind Empowerment, then told Yun Yun he intended to kill the attacker.

Feng Yun fought a black-robed Evil Spirit Master whose blood-draining, corrosive vines badly wounded him. After using Yun Yun’s observations to expose the vines’ weaknesses, Feng Yun prepared to take the initiative and turn the fight around.

• Feng Yun’s wind blades failed to break through the Evil Spirit Master’s regenerating vine defenses, and the vines caught his ankle and pierced his leg.
• Feng Yun cut away the flesh attached to the vines to escape, then blocked a barrage of blood spikes with Steel Essence Armor but was thrown into a tree.
• The Evil Spirit Master pressed Feng Yun with corrosive vine attacks, leaving him with several wounds as he searched for an opening.
• Yun Yun identified the vines’ range, regeneration cost, and recoil after releasing blood spikes, and Feng Yun used the information to dodge and target their base.
• Feng Yun repeatedly struck the same spot until the main vine lost its strength, then announced that offense and defense would switch places.

Feng Yun defeated the fallen Soul Ancestor by exploiting his speed and a brief opening in the demon vines, but he was badly wounded. As Yun Yun praised him, he grieved for Nannan and resolved himself against the brutal reality of Douluo Continent.
