• Zhao Ming refined a Life Extension Pill and prepared it with a Dragon Transformation Pill for Golden Crocodile Douluo.

• Zhao Ming asked Azure Luan Douluo to test the first version of the Nine Profound Art, but its spiritual energy turned violent and required Azure Luan Douluo's soul power to control.
• Zhao Ming revised the art by slowing its intake and adding seven buffering points, then asked Azure Luan Douluo to test it again.
• Azure Luan Douluo safely completed ten cycles of the revised art and confirmed it could suit most martial souls; Zhao Ming concluded that persistent practice could let people with zero innate soul power become Soul Masters.

• Emperor Xue Ye announced Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s tournament team, led by level forty-three Soul Ancestor Xue Yu, and awarded the seven members noble titles.
• Dugu Yan questioned Zhao Ming about giving pills to the academy, and Zhao Ming said she would understand his plans later.

• Zhao Ming decided to spend three months researching how to condense soul rings from the energy of heaven and earth before considering a visit to Notting City to observe Xiao Wu.
• Zhao Ming left his cultivation chamber, walked around the training field, and headed to the Pill Tower to begin his research.

After learning Tang San had reached rank thirty, he rushed toward Notting City to witness Xiao Wu’s breakthrough and seek a way to replace those fragments.

• Zhao Ming repeatedly failed to compress spiritual energy into a stable soul ring and eventually formed only a short-lived illusory ring.
• He injected a ten-thousand-year Gale Demon Wolf’s soul power into a ring embryo, causing it to explode and injure him.
• Zhao Ming captured the dying Gale Demon Wolf’s soul fragments after killing it and successfully formed a genuine white soul ring, then dispersed it.
• He concluded that soul fragments acted as a catalyst and began searching for a substitute that would not require killing a soul beast.
• A young soul master from the Ye Clan told Zhao Ming that Tang San had reached rank thirty and would leave for Suotuo City the next morning.
• Zhao Ming hurried toward Notting City, hoping to witness Xiao Wu condense her third soul ring and learn how transformed soul beasts formed rings without soul fragments.

Zhao Ming entered Notting City while intangible and secretly watched Xiao Wu break through to Level 30 and condense her third soul ring. By studying the markings within it, he discovered a way to stabilize his own soul rings without soul beast soul fragments.

• Zhao Ming used the Mustard Seed Space to enter Notting City undetected and sensed that Tang Hao was guarding the academy.
• Zhao Ming found Xiao Wu cultivating in Dorm Seven and waited as she spent three days breaking through to Level 30.
• Xiao Wu secretly went to the hills behind the academy and condensed a third soul ring, which reached three thousand years before merging into her body.
• Zhao Ming studied the markings inside Xiao Wu's soul ring and realized that reproducing them could let him form soul rings without soul beast soul fragments.

Zhao Ming deciphered the runes that formed Soul Rings and used them to create a three-hundred-thousand-year Seventh Soul Ring with Martial Soul Avatar, breaking through to Soul Saint. He decided to keep the Self-Condensed Soul Ring Method secret until he became stronger and understood more runes.

• Zhao Ming reproduced Xiao Wu's Soul Ring patterns and discovered that they could condense a Soul Ring embryo from spiritual Qi alone.
• Zhao Ming failed to activate daggers engraved with the patterns, then spent over a month identifying the runes for a Soul Ring's foundation, racial imprint, and specified Soul Skill.
• Zhao Ming studied Soul Ring samples from himself, Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, extracting runes for several Soul Skills, including Martial Soul Avatar.
• Zhao Ming combined the Golden Flying Dragon racial imprint with the Martial Soul Avatar runes to condense a three-hundred-thousand-year Seventh Soul Ring.
• Zhao Ming absorbed the Soul Ring, became a Soul Saint at rank seventy-three, and resolved to keep his method secret until he was stronger.

• Zhao Ming taught Yang Wudi to condense Pill Fire and gave him formulas, and Yang Wudi successfully refined Origin-Recovery Pills after more than a hundred failed attempts.
• Yang Wudi mastered the Pill Tower’s standard formulas and impressed Ye Renxin with his Mysterious Water Pills, while Zhao Ming compiled twenty basic formulas for the Tower’s alchemists.
• Yang Wudi assigned the Breaking Clan’s members to purchase, process, and inspect medicinal ingredients, improving the Pill Tower’s supply chain.

• After hearing what Tai Tan had said, Yang Wudi remembered their past bond and went alone to the Strength Clan’s residence to confront him.
• Tai Tan came out with elite Strength Clan members and accused Yang Wudi of abandoning the Clear Sky Sect, and Yang Wudi calmly defended his honor.

Yang Wudi defeated Tai Tan and publicly severed the Breaking Clan’s ties with both the Strength Clan and the Clear Sky Sect, prompting the Clear Sky Sect to declare the Breaking Clan its enemy. The Pill Tower retaliated with a sweeping pill embargo, and the Heaven Dou Empire imposed a blockade on supplies, while Ning Fengzhi hastily declared his sect neutral to preserve its access to pills.

• Yang Wudi defeated Tai Tan, ended his ties with the Strength Clan, and publicly declared that the Breaking Clan had nothing more to do with the Clear Sky Sect.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue mastered the Nine Profound Art, ordered a plot against Xue Ye, and resolved to make her relationship with Zhao Ming official after taking the throne.

• Ning Fengzhi called for Qian Renxue to ascend immediately, and she ordered a state funeral and three months of mourning.
• After Xue Ye’s funeral, Qian Renxue was crowned emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire and began her first court session.

Zhao Ming emerged from half a year of seclusion with his third Soul Ring, wealth authority, and learned that Qian Renxue had taken the Heaven Dou throne. He joined her as two Titled Douluo arrived with a summons from the Pope, and Qian Renxue prepared to confront them.
