Chapter Summaries

Xu Yue prepared for his martial soul awakening while living with the Mu family and reflecting on his missing parents. He awakened a Sun martial soul, but the Blacksmith Association building began to tremble, leaving Mu Chen alarmed.

• Mu Chen activated the formation, and Xu Yue awakened a blazing golden-red Sun martial soul.
• Mu Chen sensed something was wrong, and the Blacksmith Association building began to tremble.

Xu Yue’s Sun martial soul underwent a mysterious mutation during a celestial anomaly, and he awakened to find the Star of Eden in his hand. In the plane’s origin space, the Star of Myriad Stars drained power from Tang Hao and A Yin before another consciousness revealed that some permissions had returned.

• As Xu Yue awakened his martial soul, a total solar eclipse, darkness, and earthquakes struck Douluo Continent’s eastern coast.
• Tang Hao tried to seize the anomaly in the plane’s origin space, but its force pulled him and A Yin in until they sacrificed origin power to escape.
• The anomaly vanished after absorbing the energy, Tang Hao fell into a deep sleep, and another consciousness identified it as the Star of Myriad Stars and celebrated the return of thirty percent of its permissions.
• Xu Yue’s Sun martial soul collapsed into a brilliant point of light, and Mu Chen recognized that it was mutating.
• Xu Yue passed out as a force renewed his body, then woke to find a dark blue, star-speckled crystal in his palm and identified it as the Star of Eden.

Xu Yue revealed that Eden's Star, whose true name was Starry Sea Harmony, gave him an innate gravity domain and could strengthen Mu Xi's Radiant Sun Martial Soul. As Mu Chen warned him to conceal the ability, Xu Yue announced that he had another Martial Soul.

• Xu Yue named Eden's Star Starry Sea Harmony and awakened its gravity domain, which affected everyone nearby regardless of their level.

• Xu Yue revealed the Truth Gem as his second martial soul, and Mu Chen tested him and found he had innate full soul power.
• Mu Chen received news of earthquakes and abnormal celestial changes across the eastern coast, so he postponed Xu Yue's soul spirit purchase and left to handle matters.
• Yun Ming and Ya Li investigated the phenomenon and learned it had affected half of Douluo Star before spotting a small silver-haired figure.
• Xu Yue reflected on the powers of the Authority of Reason and the Authority of Earth, which let him recreate what he understood and control earth, stars, and gravity.

Xu Yue understood the limits and potential of his Herrscher Authorities, then discovered that cultivating beneath the stars and within Douluo Star’s magnetic field greatly accelerated his growth. The next morning, he went with Mu Xi and Mu Chen to the Spirit Pagoda and chose to cultivate Eden's Star first.

• Xu Yue meditated and realized that Tang Hao and A Yin’s divine origins had supplied the energy for his twin martial souls to awaken fully.
• Xu Yue concluded that his Authorities required him to grow stronger and gain knowledge before he could wield their full power, and he resolved to cultivate to prepare for the Abyss invasion.

• The next morning, Xu Yue met Mu Xi at his door, and she reminded him that they were going to the Spirit Pagoda.
• On the drive there, Xu Yue told Mu Chen that he would cultivate Eden's Star first.

Xu Yue visited the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda with Mu Chen and Mu Xi to choose an earth-element soul spirit, and he became interested in a blind thousand-year dragon-shaped spirit.

• Xu Yue lay down for the spiritual-power test, and the others cried out in shock.

• The person in charge contacted headquarters and told the Pagoda Master that a genius had appeared in Eastsea.

Xu Yue met Xu Xiaoyan by chance, then absorbed a thousand-year earth-element spirit soul as his first soul ring. He reached soul power level thirteen and revealed his first soul skill, Firm as a Rock.

• Mu Xi and Xu Yue encountered Xu Xiaoyan and her father, Xu Wei, in the parking lot, and Xu Xiaoyan said she felt drawn to Xu Yue.

Xu Yue tested his Jade Shield and revealed that he could extend it to his teammates. Later, he used the Authority of Geo to open his soul spirit’s eyes, named it Azhdaha, and began teaching it a fearsome battle cry before Mu Xi ordered him to go to sleep.

• Xu Yue demonstrated that his Jade Shield blocked Mu Xi’s Sunfire and Sunlight Illumination, though the shield developed cracks under the stronger attack.
• Xu Yue explained that the shield had a forty-second cooldown, used little soul power, grew stronger with his cultivation, and could protect teammates; he then shielded Mu Chen, Mu Xi, and Yuan Bao'er.
• That night, Xu Yue used the Authority of Geo to sculpt his blind soul spirit and open its eyes.
• The newly awakened soul spirit leapt into Xu Yue’s arms, and he named it Azhdaha.
• Xu Yue tried to teach Azhdaha to growl, “Mortal, do not overstep your bounds,” but Mu Xi knocked on the wall and told him to sleep before junior academy began.
• Xu Yue promised to rest and told Azhdaha it was time to cultivate.

• Xu Yue explained that Xu Xiaoyan had awakened the Star Crown attribute of the Xu family's main lineage, and Xu Xiaoyan summoned her Starwheel Ice Staff.

Xu Xiaoyan’s Starwheel Ice Staff evolved into two switchable forms under the influence of Xu Yue’s Eden’s Star, and she and Xu Yue discovered they could use a martial soul fusion skill. Their fusion manifested as the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice, leaving Mu Xi stunned.

• Xu Yue summoned Eden’s Star, causing Xu Xiaoyan’s Starwheel Ice Staff to evolve into the Star Staff while retaining its Ice Staff form; the two forms shared one soul ring and could be switched briefly.
