He learned that she was seeking her Fifth Spirit Ring and was determined to win the Soul Master Competition’s Soul Bone reward, raising questions about when she would obtain her Fox Tail External Soul Bone.

• Tang San concluded that his Blue Silver Grass lacked offensive power and resolved to absorb a Man Faced Demon Spider for his Fourth Soul Ring to obtain an External Soul Bone.
• Flender received the Soul Fight proceeds and an extra two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins from the Dugu Family, delivered on Young Master Dugu’s orders.
• Dugu Feng considered how Tang San’s fight with Yu Tianheng might affect relations among the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Upper Three Sects, and Spirit Hall.
• Dugu Feng sensed Yan’s Pill Bead approaching and stayed in Suotuo City to investigate, discovering that Yan, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and five Soul Sages were heading to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Dugu Feng learned Hu Liena had reached the Soul King realm and was seeking her Fifth Spirit Ring, then heard the Golden Generation discuss the Soul Bone prize at the Soul Master Competition.
• Dugu Feng noticed Hu Liena still had no Soul Bone and wondered when she would obtain her Fox Tail External Soul Bone.

Dugu Feng suspected Hu Liena had obtained her Fox Tail External Soul Bone while absorbing her Fifth Spirit Ring and traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to prepare to take it. He gathered Ant Queens to lure powerful Thousand Jun Ants, setting up a plan to draw Chrysanthemum Douluo away before Hu Liena’s group arrived.

• Dugu Feng reasoned that Hu Liena had likely kept her External Soul Bone hidden during the Soul Master Competition because she had believed victory was secure.
• Dugu Feng and Old Scorpion flew to the Star Dou Great Forest and entered the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Zone ahead of Hu Liena’s group.
• Old Scorpion found an abandoned Thousand Jun Ant nest, prompting Dugu Feng to ask him to capture powerful Ant Queens.

Dugu Feng prepared an ambush for Hu Liena as she and Spirit Hall’s group entered the Star Dou Great Forest to find her Fifth Spirit Ring. By dawn, his forces were concealed and ready to lure Chrysanthemum Douluo away so Old Scorpion could seize Hu Liena if an External Soul Bone appeared.

• Dugu Feng arranged for two Thousand Jun Ant Kings to draw Chrysanthemum Douluo away, then hid underground with Old Scorpion as Hu Liena’s group set out at dawn.

Hu Liena absorbed a thirteen-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox’s Soul Ring and became a Soul King, gaining a rare Fox Tail External Soul Bone. As Chrysanthemum Douluo prepared to face two approaching Thousand Jun Ant Kings, Dugu Feng and Old Scorpion waited nearby, ready to strike.

• Dugu Feng tracked Hu Liena’s group through Yan’s Pill Bead and told Old Scorpion to prepare when they reached a Three-Eyed Demon Fox’s territory.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo wounded the Three-Eyed Demon Fox, and Hu Liena killed it and began absorbing its Soul Ring.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo recognized the Fox Tail as an External Soul Bone, and Hu Liena concealed it inside her body.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo sensed two approaching Thousand Jun Ant Kings and told Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue to wait while he confronted them.

Dugu Feng and Old Scorpion captured Hu Liena while Chrysanthemum Douluo was drawn away, then Dugu Feng began devouring the Fox Tail energy from her External Soul Bone. Chrysanthemum Douluo pursued them underground, leaving the rescue uncertain as Dugu Feng’s bones absorbed the energy.

• The Thousand Jun Ant Kings charged toward Hu Liena’s group, and Chrysanthemum Douluo moved to intercept them.
• Old Scorpion used the Ant Queen auras as a distraction and abducted Hu Liena underground on Dugu Feng’s orders.

Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo brought Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan to Bibi Dong, who demanded to know what had happened.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo led Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan into the Pope Palace, where Bibi Dong demanded to know what had happened to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena told Bibi Dong that an Evil Soul Master had stolen her External Soul Bone, prompting Bibi Dong to punish Chrysanthemum Douluo lightly and order a continent-wide hunt. Meanwhile, Dugu Feng considered how the clash between Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Hao might shift the alliances and targets of Bibi Dong’s coming campaign.

• Hu Liena told Bibi Dong that she had reached Soul King but an Evil Soul Master had devoured the Fox Tail External Soul Bone she gained from her Fifth Spirit Ring.

Dugu Feng refined the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass’s cold poison at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, using his changed body to withstand its attacks.

Dugu Feng returned to Dugu Manor after a year of cultivation and refused to join the Soul Master Competition, saying he had other ways to obtain soul bones. He learned that Ye Lingling needed help hunting a Spirit Ring and heard Little Snake describe the Canghui Team’s growing strength, leaving the team’s championship prospects under discussion.

• Dugu Feng rejected Dugu Bo’s appeal to enter the Soul Master Competition, despite its three Soul Bone rewards.
• Dugu Feng returned to Dugu Manor, where Dugu Shuo told him that Ye Lingling had reached level forty and needed help hunting a Spirit Ring.
• Dugu Feng met Little Snake’s young child, Little Little Snake, and encouraged Little Snake to raise him as a future member of the family.
• Little Snake told Dugu Feng that the Canghui Team had five Soul Ancestors and seven members capable of performing a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
• Dugu Feng asked whether the Canghui Team could win the championship and claim the three Soul Bones.

Dugu Feng took Ye Lingling to Sunset Forest to help her obtain a Fourth Soul Ring, while she tried to persuade him to join the Imperial Fighting Team. They reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Dugu Feng sent his Jade Dragon Serpents to find Moonlight Butterflies.

• Little Little Snake judged that the Dugu Family still needed more strength to defeat Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and decided to test Canghui Academy's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
• Dugu Feng arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and took Ye Lingling away on the Jade Dragon Serpent, leaving Dugu Yan shocked and angry.

• Dugu Feng’s Jade Dragon Serpents brought back a Moonlight Butterfly, and Ye Lingling judged that its Soul Ring was suitable for her Fourth Soul Ring.

• Shi Nian asked Old Snake whether to stop the drill after Dugu Feng entered the Seven Asura Illusion, but Old Snake told him to show the technique’s full strength.
• The seven gem-type soul masters combined Illusion Control into the Seven Asura Illusion, which Shi Nian said could threaten a Soul King, but Dugu Feng quickly broke free.
• Dugu Feng warned that the Martial Soul Hall Team could use Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s fusion skill to reach Soul Emperor strength, and asked Shi Nian how to strengthen the illusion.
• Shi Nian explained that the Seven Asura Illusion stacked the Spiritual Power of seven users and that Nightmare Beast Spirit Rings gave gem-type soul masters Illusion Control.

• Dugu Feng renamed Canghui Academy Gem Academy and ordered the team to compete under its new name.
