Qian Renxue ordered Yu Xiaogang beaten and expelled from Spirit City, then asked Yue Guan about the other Yu Xiaogang, the acclaimed Grandmaster at Spirit Hall Academy. She learned of his extraordinary talent and hoped to meet him at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, while the beaten Yu Xiaogang was left unconscious outside the city gates.

• Yue Guan refused to confirm that he had issued Yu Xiaogang a Supreme Pontiff Token, and Qian Renxue ordered the guards to give Yu Xiaogang fifty strokes and expel him from Spirit City.

As Bibi Dong remained in seclusion undergoing a Divine Trial, tensions grew between Spirit Hall and Worship Hall, prompting Qian Daoliu to send Golden Crocodile Douluo to bring Qian Renxue back for the Angel God Trial. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang reached ninety-nine victories in Slaughter City and entered a packed arena for his hundredth match, where he recognized the King of Slaughter as a Nine-Headed Bat King parasitizing a Rank-99 Peerless Douluo's body.

• Yue Guan and Gui Mei worried about Bibi Dong's prolonged seclusion and watched for threats to Spirit Hall while guarding the younger members.
• Qian Daoliu revealed to Golden Crocodile Douluo that Bibi Dong was undergoing a Divine Trial and ordered him to bring Qian Renxue back to begin the Angel God Trial.
• Yu Xiaogang reached ninety-eight consecutive victories, continued cultivating while waiting for opponents, and then earned his ninety-ninth victory.
• After the Hell Slaughter Arena filled its roster fifteen days later, Yu Xiaogang entered his hundredth match and found an unusually enormous crowd and the King of Slaughter in attendance.
• Yu Xiaogang recognized that the King of Slaughter was a Nine-Headed Bat King parasitizing a Rank-99 Peerless Douluo's body, then focused on his opponents and completing the match.

Yu Xiaogang faced eight powerful Fallen Ones in his hundredth Hell Slaughter Arena match and used Dawn Judgment Light to kill their strongest fighter. A Soul Douluo’s illusion domain then turned the remaining opponents against one another, leaving Yu Xiaogang poised to finish the fight.

• The nine opponents surrounded Yu Xiaogang, hoping to stop his winning streak and claim the rewards and soul bones promised for defeating him.
• Yu Xiaogang activated his Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul and Sacred Dragon Battle Body, then prepared Dawn Judgment Light as the opponents hesitated to attack first.
• Yu Xiaogang annihilated the rank 85 Soul Douluo with Dawn Judgment Light and killed a Soul Saint with his spear during the blast’s aftermath.
• A rank 83 Soul Douluo cast Shadow Phantom Maze, but Yu Xiaogang resisted the illusion while the caster killed a fellow Soul Douluo and Yu Xiaogang killed two Soul Saints.
• The illusion domain reduced the fighters to Yu Xiaogang, its caster, and three Soul Saints, and the caster realized his trump card had failed.

Yu Xiaogang won his hundredth Hell Slaughter Arena match and entered the Hell Road, completing the Light God's third trial. An unexpected Asura God trial then appeared, requiring him to reach Soul King with a fifth soul ring of at least one hundred thousand years, and he fulfilled it by raising his God-Bestowed Spirit Ring to 100,005 years.

• Yu Xiaogang defeated the remaining opponents, took the Soul Douluo's head Soul Bone, and claimed his hundredth consecutive victory.
• The King of Slaughter offered Yu Xiaogang the title of God of Slaughter, but Yu Xiaogang chose to enter the Hell Road for the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• The King of Slaughter sacrificed the arena spectators to open the Hell Road, and Yu Xiaogang arrived on its path.
• The Light God declared Yu Xiaogang's third trial complete, raised his soul power to level fifty, and assigned him a fourth trial to lead the Spirit Hall Team to victory in the next tournament.
• The Asura God announced two trials, including a requirement for Yu Xiaogang's fifth soul ring to reach at least one hundred thousand years.
• Yu Xiaogang absorbed the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring and raised it to 100,005 years, completing the Asura God's second trial.

After receiving the rewards for his first two Asura trials, Yu Xiaogang gained a powerful Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and set out to clear Hell Road. In the God Realm, the Dark God confronted the Asura God over how easily he was giving Yu Xiaogang rewards, but both were surprised when Yu Xiaogang cleared Hell Road almost immediately.

• The Asura God rewarded Yu Xiaogang for his first two trials, increased his Soul Ring ages, and announced that his third trial was to clear Hell Road and obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Yu Xiaogang summoned his Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, examined his strengthened Soul Rings, and learned the abilities of his new Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang prepared to challenge Hell Road with his Radiant Dragon Spear and Dawn Judgment Light.
• The Dark God accused the Asura God of making Yu Xiaogang's trials little more than free rewards, and the Asura God admitted he had considered granting him the godhood outright.
• The Dark God began considering a more generous trial for Bibi Dong, but Yu Xiaogang cleared Hell Road before he could decide.
• The Asura God showed the Dark God a recording of Yu Xiaogang charging Dawn Judgment Light before setting off.

Yu Xiaogang flew through Hell Road by using his own abilities and a self-created Divine Skill, earning the Asura God’s approval. The gods then discussed his confusing trials and the Asura God encouraged the Dark God to accelerate Bibi Dong’s trials.

• Yu Xiaogang used his Radiant Judgment Dragon Spear, Radiant Heaven Dragon Wings, and Myriad Radiances Descend from Heaven to evade the Ferocious Beasts and pass through Hell Road.
• The Asura God ruled that Yu Xiaogang’s passage was legal and aboveboard because he used his own abilities without Soul Ring skills.
• Yu Xiaogang sensed Divine Slaughter’s Domain and wondered why the Asura God had given him the Asura Nine Trials despite his Dragon King souls and Light Nine Trials.
• The Dark God teased the Asura God for confusing Yu Xiaogang, while the Asura God argued that Yu Xiaogang was not inheriting two Godhoods.
• The Asura God told the Dark God to announce Bibi Dong’s Third Trial and give her a year to advance to Level 98, and the Dark God agreed to do so.

After completing the third Asura trial, Yu Xiaogang gained three Soul Power levels and stronger Soul Rings, then returned to Spirit Hall. He learned that Bibi Dong was in seclusion and Worship Hall was pressuring the Papal Palace, and Yue Guan began telling him about Qian Renxue.

• Yu Xiaogang completed the Asura God’s third trial, reached level fifty-three, and received increased Soul Ring ages.
• Yu Xiaogang returned to Spirit Hall and learned from Yue Guan that Bibi Dong had been in seclusion for months while Worship Hall pressured the Papal Palace.
• Yu Xiaogang reassured Yue Guan that Bibi Dong would emerge in three to six months and that he could handle any Titled Douluo who acted against them.
• Yu Xiaogang revealed his Soul Rings, shocking Yue Guan with their strength and a Hundred Thousand Year fifth ring.
• Yue Guan decided to tell Yu Xiaogang about Qian Renxue.

Yue Guan told Yu Xiaogang about the other Yu Xiaogang’s encounter with Qian Renxue, then faced Yu Xiaogang’s questions about his view of Spirit Hall. As Yu Xiaogang left to check on Xie Yue and the others, the Asura God considered Yu Xiaogang as a possible successor to the Asura God Position.

• Yue Guan told Yu Xiaogang that Qian Renxue had punished the other Yu Xiaogang with fifty strokes after he acted arrogantly in Spirit Hall.
• Yu Xiaogang recognized Yue Guan’s interest in Immortal Herbs and asked how he viewed Spirit Hall, giving him three days to decide on an answer.
• Yu Xiaogang told Yue Guan to keep Gui Mei out of trouble and say that Yu Xiaogang had made the decision himself.
• Yu Xiaogang left to check on Xie Yue and the others, then dismissed thoughts of Qian Renxue and declared his determination to eliminate anyone who blocked his path to godhood.
• The Asura God considered passing the Asura God Position to Yu Xiaogang, trusting his strength and his connection to the Dragon Clan to preserve the God Realm’s balance.

Yu Xiaogang returned to find Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Dugu Yan training, then corrected their sparring and praised their progress. He passed Ye Lingling a fist technique and prepared to test Xie Yue’s Moonshadow Thousand-Blade Break, revealing his powerful Soul Rings as the duel began.

• Yu Xiaogang watched Xie Yue spar against Hu Liena and Dugu Yan, noting their improved cultivation and pointing out flaws in their timing and coordination.

• Yu Xiaogang passed Ye Lingling a weakened version of his Dragon Emperor Fist through Divine Sense.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Xie Yue to demonstrate Moonshadow Thousand-Blade Break and revealed four black Soul Rings and a crimson Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Xie Yue vanished to attack Yu Xiaogang as Hu Liena and Dugu Yan stared at his Soul Rings in shock.

Yu Xiaogang trained Xie Yue by countering his Moonshadow Thousand-Blade Break and then testing his defense against Myriad Radiances Descend from Heaven. Xie Yue endured thousands of light-rain attacks while Hu Liena and Dugu Yan watched, and Yu Xiaogang adjusted the drill to limit the number of simultaneous shots.

• Yu Xiaogang exposed weaknesses in Xie Yue’s Moonlight Instant Strike and Moonshadow Thousand-Blade Break, then praised Xie Yue’s progress and had him try again.
• Yu Xiaogang launched a dense volley of light-rain droplets at Xie Yue, setting the exercise as a round of training and initially firing one droplet at a time.
• Xie Yue blocked the attacks with his Moonlight Blades and Moon Blade, but the strain mounted and droplets repeatedly struck him.
• Yu Xiaogang decided that three simultaneous droplets were too difficult and kept the volley at two as Xie Yue struggled through more than two thousand shots.
• Hu Liena told Dugu Yan that Xie Yue was Yu Xiaogang’s personal disciple and trained especially hard, and Dugu Yan admitted she could not match his persistence.

Yu Xiaogang trained Xie Yue and taught Ye Lingling a powerful combat method, while Ye Lingling’s feelings for him became apparent. The next morning, Yue Guan invited Yu Xiaogang to his residence to talk.

• Xie Yue endured three thousand Light Rain projectiles before Yu Xiaogang ended the training and told him to rest before continuing.
• Ye Lingling thanked Yu Xiaogang for teaching her combat techniques, then mistook his words about their families for approval of a marriage and kissed his cheek.
• Ye Lingling practiced the technique and smashed the training ground with a punch while leaving her hand unharmed, alarming Hu Liena and Dugu Yan.
• Yu Xiaogang guided the group through a full day of training and then left after Dugu Bo delivered the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
• The next morning, Yue Guan met Yu Xiaogang at the market and invited him to his flower-filled residence to talk.

Yu Xiaogang tested Yue Guan’s views on Spirit Hall and its relationship to the Qian Family before giving him a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. After Yue Guan consumed it, he broke through to rank ninety-six and transformed his martial soul into a true celestial-grade treasure.

• Yue Guan told Yu Xiaogang that Spirit Hall was his home, was necessary for the continent, and did more good than harm.
• Yu Xiaogang asked whether Spirit Hall belonged to the Qian Family, and Yue Guan swore by his martial soul that he would never betray Spirit Hall or its original aspiration.
• Yu Xiaogang gave Yue Guan a jade box containing a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which Yue Guan had long sought because it shared his martial soul’s origin.
• Yue Guan consumed the herb while Yu Xiaogang guarded him, then emerged two hours later at rank ninety-six.
• Yue Guan summoned his transformed martial soul and said the herb had repaired his old injuries and chronic ailments and greatly strengthened his Indestructible Vajra.

Yue Guan gained immense strength from refining the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, while Bibi Dong struggled through the Dark God's absolute darkness trial and began to regain her senses. She emerged from her past with overwhelming killing intent and roared for everyone to die.

• Yue Guan said the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had doubled the power of his soul skills and evolved his martial soul, leaving him confident he could face a level 98 Titled Douluo.
• Yu Xiaogang explained how the herb complemented Yue Guan's martial soul, and Yue Guan escorted him out with renewed respect.
• Bibi Dong endured painful memories inside the absolute darkness domain, and the Dark God extended her trial so she could recover without damaging her divine soul.
• Bibi Dong began to reclaim her sanity, causing the domain's suppression to weaken as the phantoms of her two Spider Emperors took shape.

• Bibi Dong’s Death Spider Emperor phantom struck Golden Crocodile Douluo and sent him crashing through the Worship Hall doors, revealing that she had reached Level 98.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo attacked again, but Bibi Dong used the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor’s soul skills to knock him from the air and wound him with Eternal Creation.

• Xie Yue asked Yu Xiaogang which tournament teams posed the greatest threat, and Yu Xiaogang gave him the list of competitors.
