Chapter Summaries

Ye Feng endured a deadly Evil Fire Backlash while Flender and Ma Hongjun pressured him to accept Flender as his master. As his life began to fade, a Gold Trait System appeared and offered him seven traits to choose from.

• Ye Feng suffered increasingly frequent Evil Fire Backlashes from his pure Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul and feared that gaining a Soul Ring would kill him.
• Flender and Ma Hongjun urged Ye Feng to become Flender’s disciple, but Ye Feng refused and condemned them for the coercion that had kept his talent hidden.

• The Gold Trait System activated and presented Ye Feng with seven gold trait options, from which he was told to choose four.

Ye Feng chose four system traits, and their distribution triggered a painful evolution of his Evil Fire Phoenix. With help from a mysterious woman, he survived and awakened as a Nether Karma Fire Phoenix, leaving him stronger and physically older.

• Ye Feng rejected three system traits and selected Newbie Journey, Atavism, Twin Awakening, and Upgrade Refund.
• The system raised Ye Feng's Soul Power to Level 12, then scarlet-gold flames engulfed him and subjected him to excruciating pain.

• Ye Feng explained that Tang San had likely just entered Nuoding Academy and that Tang Hao would be nearby, giving him a chance to take the Blue Silver Emperor and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

He revealed that Dugu Bo and his granddaughter were suffering from Green Phosphor Snake Poison and offered a method to cure them, leaving Dugu Bo ready to pledge his life in return.

The chapter left Dugu Bo searching Sunset Forest for a five-thousand-year fire-attribute Soul Beast while Ye Feng checked on Ah Yin’s recovery.

• Ye Feng warned Dugu Bo that detoxification required a suitable Soul Bone and would cause extreme pain, and Dugu Bo pledged his life to Ye Feng.

• Ye Feng swallowed the remaining Whale Rubber to improve his physique while he waited for Dugu Bo to find a Soul Beast for his Second Soul Ring.
• Snow Empress reflected on Ye Feng's generosity and lack of greed, then decided to see how far the human she had chosen could go.

Ye Feng absorbed a five-thousand-year Crimson Flame Golden Eagle Soul Ring, but the Karma Fire within him erupted during the final stage. He endured the flames in a painful rebirth and emerged with stronger, dark-gold-infused fire.

• Dugu Bo brought Ye Feng a weakened Crimson Flame Golden Eagle, which Snow Empress confirmed carried a trace of ancient Golden Crow blood.

• Ye Feng's Karma Fire suddenly flared out of control, and Snow Empress stopped Dugu Bo from intervening.
• Ye Feng chose to guide the flames through his body, enduring the burning as Snow Empress called the ordeal Nirvana.
• After fifteen minutes, the flames subsided, leaving Ye Feng with renewed skin, a clearer phoenix mark, and crimson-gold fire streaked with dark gold.

After Karma Fire threatened to backlash more dangerously as Ye Feng grew stronger, he discovered that suppressing it required an Ultimate Ice wielder of comparable strength and considered Shui Bing'er as a possible match. He then manifested his Nether Karma Fire Phoenix and successfully used Martial Soul Possession, gaining a dramatic boost in power and fiery wings.

• Snow Empress warned Ye Feng that Karma Fire would intensify with his strength and could be controlled only through mastery or suppression by comparable Ultimate Ice.

• Ye Feng merged with his Martial Soul, growing taller and gaining nearly double his strength, speed, and spiritual power.

• Ye Feng flew through the Poison Barrier and tested Phoenix Wings Soaring, blasting two deep, burning craters into the ground.

• Ye Feng corrected Dugu Bo's name for the Snowy Swan Kiss and explained that it amplified nearby poisons, making the surrounding herbs toxic.
• Ye Feng dug up the Snowy Swan Kiss and gave it to Dugu Bo, who accepted it and vowed to use it well.

The Ice Empress returned to the Far North and found the Snow Empress missing, then took her throne while wondering where she had gone. Two months later, Dugu Bo cured his poisoning with Ye Feng’s guidance and departed to find a Soul Bone for his granddaughter, while Ye Feng left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and arrived at Skywater Academy.

• The Ice Empress returned to the palace, found the Snow Empress absent, and sat on her throne while speculating that she had gone to the human world.
• Over the next two months, Ye Feng refined his Soul Power and reached level twenty-five as Dugu Bo used a skull bone to remove the toxins from his body.
• Dugu Bo thanked Ye Feng and asked to leave to find a suitable Soul Bone for Dugu Yan, and Ye Feng agreed and gave him a token for contacting him.
• After Dugu Bo left, Ye Feng packed his belongings, tended to the Blue Silver Emperor, and departed from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
• Ye Feng arrived in Skywater City and walked toward Skywater Academy.

Ye Feng sought admission to Skywater Academy despite its rule against male students and fire-attribute Soul Masters. After demonstrating his extraordinary martial soul and level, he explained that he chose the academy because he needed help controlling its deadly backlash.

• Director Su asked why Ye Feng chose Skywater Academy over stronger academies, and Ye Feng said his martial soul’s backlash made the academy a suitable choice.
• Ye Feng explained that if he could not suppress the growing flames, he would die.

Ye Feng joined Skywater Academy after Director Su confirmed his powerful flames needed an ice-attribute Soul Master to balance them. Director Su brought him to meet Shui Bing'er, the academy's gifted Ice Phoenix student, and the chapter ended with her asking why she had been summoned.

• Ye Feng told Director Su that his flames risked backlash and that he needed a powerful ice-attribute Soul Master to balance them, so she admitted him to Skywater Academy.
• Ye Feng demonstrated his crimson-gold flames, and Director Su recognized their near-ultimate power and agreed they could become dangerous if uncontrolled.
• Director Su identified Shui Bing'er, a nine-year-old Ice Phoenix Soul Master, as the academy's best hope for helping Ye Feng.
• Director Su took Ye Feng to Ice Heart Lake, where Shui Bing'er was cultivating, and introduced him as Skywater Academy's only male student.
• Shui Bing'er greeted Ye Feng with a faint nod and asked Director Su why she had called her over.

Director Su introduced Ye Feng to Shui Bing'er because their opposing phoenix Martial Souls might help counter each other's cultivation problems. After their powers resonated, Ye Feng offered to evolve Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix if she joined his faction, leaving her questioning why she should trust him.

• Ye Feng asked Shui Bing'er to join his faction, claiming it had two Titled Douluo, and she challenged him to explain why she should believe him.

Three months after promising Shui Bing'er a place where her Martial Soul could evolve, Ye Feng reunited with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan outside Skywater Academy and brought them to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The group arrived at Dugu Bo’s poison-protected valley so Shui Bing'er could see the treasure land.

• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan arrived at Skywater Academy, where Ye Feng and Shui Bing'er met them in disguise.
• Dugu Bo introduced his granddaughter, and Ye Feng learned that the soul bone had gathered the poison in Dugu Yan’s body and removed its hidden dangers.
• Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan recognized each other as former rivals, and Shui Bing'er learned that Dugu Bo was the Titled Douluo Ye Feng had mentioned.

• Dugu Bo carried the group through Sunset Forest to his poison-protected valley, where Ye Feng showed Shui Bing'er the entrance to the treasure land.

Ye Feng brought Shui Bing'er and Dugu Bo's group into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to meet the Snow Empress, who gave Shui Bing'er an Immortal Herb to help her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul approach Ultimate Ice. Ye Feng also found an herb for Dugu Yan, and both women began undergoing transformations after eating their gifts.

Ye Feng’s former teacher, Flender, and Ma Hongjun mistook the burned hut for proof that Ye Feng had died, while Ye Feng continued building his team at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Shui Bing’er reached the realm of Ultimate Ice and Dugu Yan evolved her martial soul, and Shui Bing’er’s power helped Ye Feng stabilize his flame for cultivation.

• Flender and Ma Hongjun found Ye Feng’s scorched hut empty and assumed he had burned to death, mocking him before they left.
