Chapter Summaries

Tie Li and Yue Yin fought a fallen soul master controlling the souls of four Soul Saints, while a beastified puppet briefly escaped control and sensed an unknown connection. After Tie Li reported the encounter, Bai Baoshan sent Zhi Lin to warn the imperial family, and the hidden faction behind the fallen soul masters prepared to act.

• Tie Li used Black Lightning to damage the attacking soul bodies, while Yue Yin fought the Soul Saints and the Spirit Hall deacon was gravely injured.
• A beastified body stabbed the fallen soul master from behind and escaped, prompting Yue Yin to withdraw with Tie Li and the deacon.

• An unidentified faction concluded that its preparations were ready and decided to act before Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire’s imperial family learned more.

Yue Yin and Mavis organized forces to contain the fallen soul masters and their beastforms, while Tie Li focused on learning the Thunder Dragon Six Sounds. The beastforms erupted from beneath Crescent Moon City and began slaughtering its inhabitants, leaving Tie Li and the others unsure whether they could reach safety.

• Yue Yin told the Soul Sage that Spirit Hall should handle the beastforms and ordered him to notify them.

• A beastform killed a fallen soul master, devoured his soul, and declared that its power had grown stronger.

As Crescent Moon City’s leaders discovered the slaughter caused by Fallen Soul Masters, warnings reached the major factions while a massacre ritual unfolded in Ancient Sword City. Dolangbu grew stronger through the sacrifice, unaware that a beastified body had entered the city as Seventh Master Ning prepared to seize his Soul Bone.

• A wounded guard reported that beastified bodies had appeared in Crescent Moon City, prompting Yue Yin and many Soul Masters to rush back while Mavis and Bai Baoshan attacked the Fallen Soul Masters outside.
• Mavis’s group found the Fallen Soul Masters dead and their bodies mutilated, then hurried back to the city.
• Two Soul Douluos intercepted Zhi Lin and a Spirit Hall Soul Sage, then left after receiving a notification; both messengers raced away and spread news of Crescent Moon City’s destruction.
• In Ancient Sword City, Dolangbu sacrificed the city’s inhabitants at a ritual altar, raising his Soul Power toward rank eighty while his Soul Bone protected his sanity.
• Seventh Master Ning and the man in green watched Dolangbu’s transformation and prepared to take his Soul Bone once the ritual ended, without noticing the beastified body in the city.

Tie Li killed the Crescent Moon Sect elder and the other Soul Masters after they tried to attack him, then escaped the cellar with the elder’s left leg Soul Bone.

• Bai Baoshan learned that more than half of the Crescent Moon Sect’s disciples had died, while Bibi Dong planned to use the city massacres to justify action against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After more than a year of training with Yue Yin, Tie Li mastered the Thunder Dragon Six Sounds and returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He learned that Spirit Hall had made the Wind Thunder Sect’s inherited soul bone a tournament prize to lure him into a confrontation, and he vowed to reclaim it.

• Dugu Bo urged Tie Li to keep supplying lightning as the poison pill transformed, then retrieved the successfully formed pill from the white mist.

Tie Li’s team shared the rewards from a soul fight and trained for the approaching tournament while Zhang Xiaohe sought a way to strengthen his role. Zhang Xiaohe received and absorbed a soul bone, then Ma Hongjun’s attempt to humiliate him backfired when Jue Dun interrupted and Ma Hongjun inhaled his own aphrodisiac powder.

• Ning Fengzhi connected the unusual gains of Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi with Ning Rongrong's account of pills made from immortal-grade spirit herbs, and considered approaching the Speed Clan.
• Ning Fengzhi decided to start his investigation through Tang San but hesitated because Chen Xin had been stopped from entering Shrek Academy by a powerful aura, possibly from the Clear Sky Douluo.
