Chapter Summaries

Ning Rongrong’s complaint about her figure and her master’s preferences prompted Xiao Wu to tease her about having a crush, and the two started a playful tickling match. They then pounced on Zhu Zhuqing, pinning her down and tickling her.

• Ning Rongrong complained that her master seemed to prefer curvier girls, and Zhu Zhuqing wondered if she matched his preferences before dismissing the thought.

• Ning Rongrong reached for Zhu Zhuqing’s sides as she and Xiao Wu began tickling her.

Yang Xing returned to find Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu teasing Zhu Zhuqing, then went to a Soul Beast forest to meet Hu Liena and offer her a Secret Realm Inheritance Ring. A deduction warned him that recruiting Hu Liena through the ring would not be the most beneficial approach.

• Yang Xing entered the lounge and interrupted Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu as they teased Zhu Zhuqing, leaving Zhu Zhuqing mortified.
• Yang Xing returned to his room, rested, and told the maids to say he had gone out on business if Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu came looking for him.
• Yang Xing traveled to a Soul Beast forest near Spirit City, where he expected Hu Liena to hunt for her fifth Soul Ring.
• Yang Xing spotted the ten-thousand-year Crimson Flame Charm Fox that Hu Liena had chosen as her target.
• Yang Xing used the Wind Empress Qimen to reconsider giving Hu Liena the Secret Realm Inheritance Ring, and the deduction warned him that the plan was not optimal.

Yang Xing observed Hu Liena’s attempt to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and discovered that his presence had caused an unexpected complication. As Hu Liena struggled against the Soul Ring’s powerful remnant soul, a warm hand silently rested on her head.

• Yang Xing divined that Hu Liena would face difficulty absorbing her fifth Soul Ring and decided to wait and intervene rather than recruit her as a disciple.
• Hu Liena and two Soul Douluo instructors found an eleven-thousand-year Crimson Flame Charm Fox, and Hu Liena tested it with her Charm and twin blades.
• A Soul Douluo blocked the fox’s counterattack, then the two instructors defeated it and Hu Liena delivered the killing blow.
• Hu Liena began absorbing the fox’s black Soul Ring, but its unusually powerful remnant soul attacked her sea of consciousness.
• As Hu Liena’s instructors watched anxiously, a warm hand silently came to rest on her head.

Yang Xing helped Hu Liena subdue her Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, then asked her to become his disciple. After revealing himself as a Title Douluo and leaving information for her to consider, he vanished, leaving Hu Liena stunned.

• Yang Xing guided Hu Liena through her spiritual battle, allowing her to subdue the Crimson Flame Charm Fox’s Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

• Yang Xing froze the surrounding time and space so he could speak privately with Hu Liena, who questioned his identity and his proposal.
• Yang Xing claimed he was a Title Douluo and revealed nine Soul Rings, including a Hundred-Thousand-Year Red Soul Ring.
• Yang Xing tapped Hu Liena’s forehead, left information in her mind, and vanished, telling her to contact him if she changed her mind.

Hu Liena learned that the Spirit Binding Method could control lingering souls, ensure perfect Soul Ring absorption, and enable Soul Rings beyond a Soul Master's rank. She chose to report Yang Xing's ability to Bibi Dong rather than accept his offer to become his disciple, while Yang Xing returned to Suotuo City and found Zhu Zhuqing waiting outside his door.

• Hu Liena learned that Spirit Binding and Command could bind lingering souls, aid Soul Ring absorption, and potentially let Soul Masters absorb Soul Rings beyond their rank.
• Hu Liena realized Yang Xing had likely used the Spirit Binding Method to help her absorb her Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
• Hu Liena refused to consider becoming Yang Xing's disciple because she remained loyal to Bibi Dong, and decided to tell her teacher what had happened.
• Hu Liena concealed her discovery from the two Soul Douluo teachers and returned with them toward Spirit Hall.
• Yang Xing returned to his residence in Suotuo City after midnight and saw Zhu Zhuqing waiting outside his door.

Zhu Zhuqing came to Yang Xing late at night and asked him to take her as his disciple. When he questioned her motives, she confessed that she had sought him out deliberately and offered her untouched body as proof of her sincerity.

• Zhu Zhuqing cleaned up the tea she had spilled, then stood before Yang Xing and said she had something to offer him.
• Zhu Zhuqing undressed and presented her untouched body as the greatest sincerity she could offer.

Zhu Zhuqing desperately tried to prove her sincerity to Yang Xing, who finally offered her a chance to become his disciple through the Secret Realm Inheritance Ring. She put on the ring and began its assessment.

• Yang Xing repeatedly restored Zhu Zhuqing's clothes and stopped her from stripping, while she insisted that offering her body was the only way she could show her sincerity.
• Zhu Zhuqing knelt before Yang Xing and explained that she had nothing else valuable to offer as proof of her desire to become his disciple.
• Yang Xing decided to give Zhu Zhuqing a chance and altered the Mithril Ring to remove its false information, leaving only its assessment mechanism.
• Yang Xing told Zhu Zhuqing to pass the ring's assessment if she wanted to become his disciple, and she accepted the ring with determination.
• Zhu Zhuqing put on the ring, and its energy flowed into her mind as a clear voice sounded within it.

Zhu Zhuqing passed the minimum requirement for a five-star inheritance trial and learned that its rewards could remedy her talent and godhood potential, including the Spirit Swallowing Technique. After spending the night with Yang Xing, she returned to Shrek Academy and coldly avoided Dai Mubai, who had been waiting anxiously for her.

• The ring assessed Zhu Zhuqing, failed her talent and godhood potential ratings, and initiated a five-star inheritance trial after her appearance rating passed.
• The ring outlined the trial’s three stages and promised to remedy her failed ratings and grant her the Spirit Swallowing Technique if she completed them all.
• Zhu Zhuqing learned that the technique could convert the remaining souls in Soul Rings into Soul Power without restrictions or side effects, and she wondered whether Yang Xing was truly eighteen.
• Yang Xing sent Zhu Zhuqing back to her room, where she spent the night excitedly thinking about the ring and its inheritance.
• The next morning, Zhu Zhuqing watched Yang Xing train Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu before returning to Shrek Academy.
• Dai Mubai hurried to Zhu Zhuqing and questioned her about where she had been, but she shifted away from his touch and gave him an icy reception.

Zhu Zhuqing ignored Dai Mubai and focused on preparing for her secret realm inheritance trial. At Yang Xing’s residence, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu tried to get back at their master, but their efforts barely affected him.

• Zhu Zhuqing hurried past Dai Mubai and shut him outside her dormitory, intent on preparing for the first strength trial.
• Dai Mubai threatened to give up on Zhu Zhuqing, but she did not hear him and he eventually left in frustration.
• Yang Xing supervised Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu’s training while relaxing in his residence and receiving the maids’ attention.
• Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu sent the maids away and tried to torment Yang Xing by tickling him and stuffing fruit into his mouth.
• Yang Xing remained unaffected and praised their efforts, so Ning Rongrong moved behind his chair and leaned upside down toward him.

While Yang Xing rested in Suotuo City, Hu Liena told Bibi Dong about his intervention during her Soul Ring absorption and the Spirit Binding Method he left her. Bibi Dong doubted the method until Hu Liena offered to show her the guidance information, and Bibi Dong agreed to see it.

• Ning Rongrong licked Yang Xing's nose, while Xiao Wu blushed and refused Rongrong's suggestion to do the same.
• Yang Xing spent his days relaxing in Suotuo City and teaching his disciples while he waited for the right time to take Shui Bing'er in.
• Hu Liena returned to Spirit Hall and recounted her Soul Ring absorption, Yang Xing's red Soul Ring, and his Spirit Binding Method to Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong dismissed the method as impossible, but Hu Liena explained that Yang Xing had sent its guidance into her mind and personally helped her absorb the Soul Ring.
• After Hu Liena's two accompanying teachers confirmed they remembered nothing from the absorption, Bibi Dong told Hu Liena to let her see the guidance information.

Hu Liena relayed Yang Xing’s Spirit Binding and Command information to Bibi Dong, whose shock at its insight into the soul caused her power to erupt uncontrollably. After regaining her composure, Bibi Dong asked Hu Liena to contact Yang Xing, and they discovered the mark he had left was a Voice Transmission Talisman.

• Hu Liena transmitted the Spirit Binding and Command information to Bibi Dong, who recognized its claims as genuine and its explanation of the soul as profound.
• Bibi Dong’s aura erupted, unleashing her nine Soul Rings and a storm of Soul Power that sent Hu Liena flying.
• Hu Liena called to her teacher, and Bibi Dong drew in her power and asked whether Yang Xing had left a way to contact him.
• Hu Liena showed Bibi Dong a strange mark in her palm, which had appeared after Yang Xing left.
• Bibi Dong told Hu Liena to channel Soul Power into the mark, and Hu Liena identified it as a Voice Transmission Talisman for one-way contact.

Bibi Dong advised Hu Liena to wait a month before contacting Yang Xing and assured her that taking him as a master would not change their bond. Later, Yang Xing visited the Blue Silver Forest carrying the young Blue Silver Emperor, where the Blue Silver King confronted him and he revealed his powerful Soul Rings.

• Bibi Dong stopped Hu Liena from activating the Voice Transmission Talisman and told her to wait a month before contacting Yang Xing.

• The Blue Silver King realized the Emperor's aura came from a human carrying the sapling and demanded to know why.
• Yang Xing revealed his nine Soul Rings, including a red one, as the forest braced for a confrontation.

Yang Xing forced the Blue Silver King to help him create and nurture a new Blue Silver Emperor, then planted it at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He later prepared to leave Suotuo City to take Shui Bing'er as a disciple, leaving Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu to train while he was away.

• Yang Xing threatened the Blue Silver King with extermination unless it helped transform its most gifted descendant into a Blue Silver Emperor and nurture the new plant.
• Yang Xing used the original Blue Silver Emperor seedling to change the descendant's bloodline, then had the clan pour its vitality into the newly transformed plant until it reached about one point seven meters.

• Shui Bing'er saw Yang Xing reel in a gigantic snake-headed fish Soul Beast and shrink it into his fish basket before joking that she might want him as her master.

Yang Xing revealed his identity as the Evolution God Douluo and offered to take Shui Bing'er as his disciple, but she admitted she could not betray her current teacher. After he gave her time to decide, Shui Bing'er returned to Skywater Academy to tell Lan Qinghua what happened and found her teacher being pressured by a lecherous Soul Douluo.
