Chapter Summaries

Six-year-old Yu Yuan accepted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s plan to send him to Yu Xiaogang, intending to use the Blood Refinement Art to steal Yu Xiaogang’s Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline. A silver dragon then stopped time, became a nine-hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and transformed Yu Yuan’s martial soul before an unknown voice hailed him as its lord.

• Yu Yuan considered killing Yu Xiaogang and refining his blood to awaken his own bloodline.

• Yu Yuan discovered that he had reached rank fifteen and that his Fat Dragon martial soul had evolved with silver scales.
• A voice rang in Yu Yuan’s mind, saying it had finally found its lord.

Yu Yuan learned why the silver dragon had sacrificed itself to become his soul spirit: it had lost hope for the future of soul beasts and had traveled back in time to find someone who could oppose Tang San. The silver dragon explained its history and ended by recalling Yu Yuan’s battle at Jialing Pass.

• The silver dragon admitted that it had sacrificed itself to Yu Yuan but accidentally let some sealed power leak out, causing him pain.

• The silver dragon said it had looked back through time to find a chance to save the dragon race and soul beasts, and had chosen Yu Yuan after witnessing his fight at Jialing Pass.

Yu Yuan learned that his future self had fought Spirit Hall and Tang San at once before being killed by the Asura God, and that Xiao Kong had improved his secret technique. Xiao Kong became his subordinate and explained that its Time Reversal skill could rewind Yu Yuan’s state repeatedly within a two-hour window, leaving Yu Yuan eager to use it.

• Yu Yuan named the Temporal Saint Dragon Xiao Kong, and Xiao Kong explained that its Time Reversal soul skill could rewind his state by up to two hours and be used repeatedly within that span.
• Xiao Kong assured Yu Yuan that the God Realm would not detect the skill unless he used it in front of a God King.

Yu Yuan learned about the soul skills, external soul bones, and time-and-space bloodline powers granted by Xiao Kong’s sacrifice, then headed to Notting City to test a blood-refining method. Near Notting Academy, he spotted Xiao Wu and offered to take her out of the city, leaving her response unknown.

• Xiao Kong explained that his sacrifice gave Yu Yuan a soul ring with skills that would recover over time, two external soul bones, and time-and-space bloodline powers.

• Near Notting Academy, Yu Yuan saw Xiao Wu, covered her with a black robe, and quietly told her to come with him because a Titled Douluo was in the city.

Yu Yuan repeatedly tried to get Xiao Wu away from Tang Hao, but each escape failed, so he sent her into Notting Academy after warning her about Tang Hao and Tang San. Later, Yu Yuan and Xiao Kong secretly drew golden blood from Yu Xiaogang for a ritual, only for Yu Yuan to learn that Tang Hao was involved again.

• Yu Yuan tried to lead Xiao Wu through Notting City, but Tang Hao appeared and overwhelmed them with his soul power.
• Yu Yuan rewound time and retried several escape routes, but Tang Hao kept tracking Xiao Wu’s aura and catching up.

• Xiao Kong drew golden blood from Yu Xiaogang into a magic array, then returned the remaining blood to his wound.
• Yu Yuan learned that Tang Hao was concerned about Yu Xiaogang and reacted with disbelief.

After escaping Notting City, Yu Yuan awakened the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline in himself and his martial soul, which he named Golden Dragon. Golden Dragon gained powerful light-based attacks and healing abilities, then blinded Yu Yuan with Solar Flare; Yu Yuan rewound time and discovered a weakness of his rewind ability.

• After rewinding several times to evade Tang Hao, Yu Yuan realized Yu Xiaogang's weak physique had made the blood extraction dangerous and successfully left Notting City.

• Golden Dragon used Solar Flare without warning, blinding Yu Yuan, who rewound time and told it to warn him before using the move again.

Tang San mistook Yu Xiaogang’s silence for a test of his resolve and knelt outside his door all day, while Yu Xiaogang was too weak to answer after his martial soul origin had been extracted. Tang Hao discovered the truth and treated Yu Xiaogang, who collapsed again after seeing how badly Luo Sanpao had withered.

• Tang San went to Yu Xiaogang’s dormitory, received no answer, and knelt outside after deciding his teacher was testing his determination.
• Xiao Wu brought Tang San bedding and a carrot dinner, but he refused both and continued kneeling hungry.

Two years after learning the Golden Dragon’s Solar Flare, eight-year-old Yu Yuan fought under the name Sun Emissary at Heaven Dou City’s Great Spirit Arena. He defeated an aerial opponent with one flash, then left to attend to other matters.

• Three days later, Yu Yuan recognized his Great Spirit Arena opponent as Dugu Yan and considered how to approach her and contact Dugu Bo.
• Dugu Yan asked Yu Yuan why he was wearing a mask.

Yu Yuan fought Dugu Yan in the arena and discovered that his Solar Flare could disrupt the poison balance in her body, causing a dangerous backlash. After rewinding to understand the problem, he defeated her with physical attacks instead and carried her off the field.

• Dugu Yan questioned Yu Yuan about his mask and attacked him with her Jade-Scaled Snake poison.
• Yu Yuan used Solar Flare to clear the poison mist, but its purification effect caused Dugu Yan to suffer a severe backlash.

• Yu Yuan charged through the poison mist, struck Dugu Yan unconscious, and carried her off the field while the audience complained.

Yu Yuan brought Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and identified the Earth Dragon Golden Melon as an immortal herb that could help resolve their Jade-Scaled Snake poison problems. After explaining its effects, he prepared to eat one himself and revealed the pressure of his dragon bloodline to Dugu Yan.

• Dugu Bo showed Yu Yuan his medicinal garden, and Yu Yuan pointed out the immortal herbs Dugu Bo had overlooked.
• Yu Yuan identified the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and explained that it could strengthen their bodies and improve their control over poison by evolving their martial souls toward dragon species.

• Yu Yuan summoned his Golden Dragon, which pounced on him and released its bloodline pressure until Yu Yuan made it withdraw the pressure and apologize to Dugu Yan.
• Dugu Yan asked Yu Yuan to let her feel his dragon bloodline pressure, and Yu Yuan transformed and released his restraints.

Yu Yuan prepared Earth Dragon Golden Melons three ways and ate them with the Golden Dragon to absorb their medicinal power. The Golden Dragon grew enormously, while Yu Yuan reached level thirty, strengthened his body, and gained a dragonized spine.

• Yu Yuan released his aura, making Dugu Yan swoon until Dugu Bo told him to ease up.

He cared for her afterward and considered using the remaining immortal herbs to make an ice-and-fire mandarin duck hotpot as part of obtaining the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ inheritance.

• Yu Yuan woke in his portable soul tool tent, realized his soul power had advanced by two levels, and asked Xiao Kong why.
• Xiao Kong attributed Yu Yuan’s breakthrough to his dragon bloodline resonating with Dugu Yan’s newly evolved Jade Scaled Dragon martial soul.

• Dugu Yan objected to Yu Yuan diving into the pool, but he promised to spend time with her after cultivating.
• Yu Yuan used nine time reversals to perfect the Ice-Fire Mandarin Duck Pot, then gave a portion to Dugu Yan.
