Chapter Summaries

Dai Chengfeng tested his Dark Gold Terror Claw Arm Armor by killing a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear in one strike, and the beast left behind an External Soul Bone for Ye Lingling. After refusing the palm-like bone because it would conflict with his own soul bone, Dai Chengfeng looked ahead to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the next stage of his White Tiger Spirit.

• Dai Chengfeng used his Dark Gold Terror Claw, strengthened by Innate Geng Metal Qi, to pierce the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and severely wound it in one strike.
• Dugu Yan realized that the Star Luo Empire's claims about Dai Chengfeng being crippled were lies, while Ye Lingling proudly confirmed his strength.
• Dai Chengfeng killed the wounded bear with his Fangtian Huaji, which absorbed all its blood as the corpse turned to dust.
• Ye Renxin discovered that the bear had dropped a palm-shaped External Soul Bone and urged Ye Lingling to absorb it.
• Ye Lingling considered giving the External Soul Bone to Dai Chengfeng, but he explained that it would conflict with his right-shoulder External Soul Bone, so she began to absorb it herself.
• Dai Chengfeng turned his attention toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the evolution of his White Tiger Spirit.

• Dugu Yan called for Dugu Bo, who asked why she had come instead of attending classes in Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Yan reunited with her grandfather, Dugu Bo, at his Medicine Garden and introduced him to Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan. When she asked Dugu Bo to let Dai Chengfeng search for a cure for her Spirit Poison, he doubted she was poisoned and suspected they were using it as an excuse to enter his garden.

• Dugu Bo emerged through the retreating poisonous fog, and Dugu Yan rushed to greet him affectionately.

• Dugu Bo saw no signs that Dugu Yan was poisoned and threatened Dai Chengfeng, demanding to know whether they were using the supposed poison to covet his garden.

Dai Chengfeng accused Dugu Bo of being poisoned by his own poison and challenged him to a wager: if Dai won, Dugu Bo would serve as his bodyguard for ten years. Dugu Bo accepted, leaving Dai to name the poison.

Dugu Bo recommended the rare Nine Nether Azure Phoenix, and Dai Chengfeng decided to pursue it.
