Chapter Summaries

Tang San established the Tang Sect at the Strength Clan’s residence in Heaven Dou City and planned to expand its Hidden Weapon production and find imperial buyers. Titan told him about the Four Single Attribute Families and their history with the Clear Sky Sect, leaving Tang San astonished to learn that Bai He, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao were the other clan chiefs.

• Tang San named his new sect the Tang Sect and appointed Titan its Chief Elder, while Titan offered the Strength Clan’s estate, people, and resources as its foundation.

• Titan named Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He as the chiefs of the Breaking, Defense, and Speed Clans, and Tang San recognized them from his encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San saw the Three Single Attribute Families as valuable recruits for the Tang Sect and went with Titan to their gathering. Meanwhile, Yang Xiong discussed the clans’ ties to the Clear Sky Sect and remained wary of Spirit Hall, as the gathering began on Cloud Mist Mountain.

• Titan warned Tang San that the clans still resented the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang San promised that the Tang Sect would remain independent.

Tang San and Titan visited the Defense Clan on Cloud Mist Mountain to approach the Three Single Attribute Families, but Niu Gao rejected Tang San because of the Clear Sky Sect’s past actions. The gathering ended in anger as Yang Wudi accused Tang San of repaying their help in the Star Dou Great Forest by trying to absorb the families into a new sect.

• Titan advised Tang San to start with the Speed Clan because Bai He was Tang San’s grand maternal uncle, then brought him to the Defense Clan’s gathering on Cloud Mist Mountain.
• Niu Gao learned Tang San was Tang Hao’s son and ordered him to leave, while Yang Wudi and Bai He refused to support Titan’s appeal.
• Titan stood by Tang San, but Niu Gao threatened to end their brotherhood and used his Titled Douluo aura to pressure Tang San.
• Yang Wudi explained that the Three Families had no intention of becoming subordinate to another sect and said their relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was only a business partnership.
• Yang Wudi accused Tang San of trying to absorb the families despite their having saved his life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San tried to persuade Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He to join the Tang Sect, but they rejected him because they distrusted the Tang family and refused to risk their clans. As the argument continued, an imposing, raggedly dressed man appeared outside the door.

• Tang San offered the Three Single Attribute Families membership in the Tang Sect as compensation, but Yang Wudi and Niu Gao rejected his offer and condemned his family’s past actions.
• Tang San proposed a contest with Yang Wudi, who refused to wager his clan’s lives and warned Tang San against gambling with others’ families.

• Bai He refused to risk the Speed Clan by joining the Tang Sect, explaining that the Body Sect had helped his clan more than Hidden Weapons could.
• An imposing, raggedly dressed man appeared outside the door as the dispute continued.

Yang Xiong trained at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect while discussing the Three Single Attribute Families’ plans and his own ambitions with Lin Gong. On Cloud Mist Mountain, Tang Hao apologized to the families, but learned they had already founded a secret sect with the Peerless Dragon Snake Family and would not join Tang San’s Tang Sect.

• Yang Xiong pushed a massive iron ball up the mountain and suggested the method could train students in the Body Academy and Body Sect.
• Lin Gong warned Yang Xiong that Tang San might persuade the Three Single Attribute Families to leave, but Yang Xiong said he would not force them to stay and was waiting for Spirit Hall to act.

• Yang Wudi said the new sect would soon emerge, while declining to name its Sect Master.

After the failed attempt to unite the Single Attribute Families, Tang San began rebuilding Tang Sect and secured a weapons contract with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Xue Qinghe suspected Tang Sect was a threat to Spirit Hall and secretly sent Ghost Leopard Douluo to investigate it.

• Tang Hao explained why the Single Attribute Families had broken away and urged Tang San to grow stronger and seek allies against Spirit Hall.

• After Tang San left, Xue Qinghe ordered Ghost Leopard Douluo to investigate Tang Sect's weapons and alliances without alerting Tang San or Tang Hao.

Bibi Dong responded to Spirit Hall’s losses by announcing a reelection of the Seven Great Sects and publicizing Xiao Wu’s appearance in Heaven Dou City, drawing soul masters into the city. Yang Xiong judged that Spirit Hall’s moves were part of a larger plan and prepared the Body Sect to watch events unfold as Shrek Academy came under pressure.

• A bishop reported that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had likely died in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall’s plans against the sects to continue.
• Bibi Dong learned that Tang San had founded the Tang Sect and that Xiao Wu had appeared at Shrek Academy, then went to Douluo Hall after making further arrangements.
• Spirit Hall announced a Seven Great Sects reelection in one year and urged soul masters to hunt Xiao Wu, prompting crowds to pour into Heaven Dou City.
• Yang Xiong told the Body Sect elders to ignore the assembly, prepare the sect, and have half the Speed Clan monitor Heaven Dou City.
• Flender called Zhao Wuji back to Shrek Academy for help, while Yang Xiong went to meet Ning Fengzhi about the danger in the city.

Yang Xiong persuaded Ning Fengzhi to arrange secret protection for Emperor Xue Ye, warning that Xue Qinghe might be conspiring with Spirit Hall. At the Body Academy, he met the Four Element Academy captains, who sought a place to relocate, and revealed that his own academy would soon leave Cloud Mist Mountain too.

• Yang Xiong urged Ning Fengzhi to send Bone Douluo and Yang Wudi to secretly protect Emperor Xue Ye, citing his suspicions about Xue Qinghe and Spirit Hall.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to discuss the plan with Emperor Xue Ye and said the Clear Sky Sect was divided over whether to end its seclusion.
• Emperor Xue Ye welcomed Ning Fengzhi's proposal and agreed to let Bone Douluo and Yang Wudi hide in the palace.
• Yang Xiong met Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Lei Dong at the Body Academy, where they explained Spirit Hall's pressure on the Four Element Academy and Thunder Academy's decline.
• Feng Xiaotian asked to move the Four Element Academy onto the Body Academy grounds, but Yang Xiong said his academy would also leave Cloud Mist Mountain soon.

Feng Xiaotian and the Four Element Academy chose to join Yang Xiong’s Body Academy for protection and a stable place to continue teaching amid Spirit Hall’s growing power. Yang Xiong revealed that the academy and its allied families would form the Body Sect and move to Thunder Valley, where the Four Element Academy would later join them.

• Feng Xiaotian asked Yang Xiong whether the Body Academy would accept the Four Element Academy, and Yang Xiong explained that it would soon relocate with the Three Single Attribute Families and the Peerless Dragon Snake Family.
• Yang Xiong said the allied families planned to establish the Body Sect rather than attend the Sect Assembly, and he warned Feng Xiaotian that joining would mean joining the stricter sect as well.
• Feng Xiaotian accepted the conditions, saying the Four Element Academy needed a secure backer and asking that its members be treated fairly and allowed to preserve their teaching.
• Yang Xiong agreed to accept them and revealed his two 100,000-Year Soul Rings, then announced that the new sect would be called the Body Sect and move to Thunder Valley.
• Dragon Duke explained the academy’s proposed arrangements, including positions for the Element Academy deans and separate instruction for its students, and the groups agreed to discuss the relocation further.

Tang San’s attempt to secure materials and blacksmiths in Gengxin City failed after Niu Gao and Ning Fengyuan bought up the city’s supplies, and news about Xiao Wu drove him to hurry back to Shrek Academy. Meanwhile, Yang Xiong used Dugu Bo’s Poison Pill as a model to condense his first Soul Core, which began rapidly absorbing energy as the chapter ended.

• Tang San and Tai Tan arrived in Gengxin City after Niu Gao and Ning Fengyuan had bought most of its metals, weapons, and blacksmiths, leaving them with only leftover raw ore.
• Tang San heard that Spirit Hall had hidden Xiao Wu in Shrek Academy and became desperate to return and protect her.
• Yang Xiong gathered Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, and the others in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s secret chamber and borrowed Dugu Bo’s Poison Pill as a model for condensing a Soul Core.
• Yang Xiong summoned his Body Martial Soul and poured his Soul Power, spiritual power, and physical strength into forming a blood-red Strength Soul Core.
• Yang Xiong completed the solid Soul Core, and it began drawing in energy from the surrounding area at an extraordinary rate.

Yang Xiong successfully condensed a Soul Core, which greatly increased his Soul Power reserves and cultivation speed and revealed a possible path for breaking through to Titled Douluo. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect began studying the method, and its two level 89 Soul Douluo chose to risk condensing Soul Cores themselves.

• Yang Xiong used the Blue Silver King Head Soul Bone to steady his mind and guided the blood-red Soul Core into his lower dantian, where it began operating independently.
• Ning Fengzhi restored Yang Xiong with the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Yang Xiong explained that the Soul Core could improve cultivation speed by twenty percent while requiring exceptional mental and physical strength to form.
• Ning Fengzhi told Yang Xiong to document the method, and Yang Xiong warned that attempting it without sufficient strength and expert supervision could be fatal.
• Dugu Bo asked to condense a Soul Core, but Yang Xiong cautioned that his existing Poison Pill might repel it and that the method should be kept from Spirit Hall.
• Lin Gong became the first after Yang Xiong to condense a Soul Core, then refined and simplified the procedure through his research.
• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two level 89 Soul Douluo chose to risk condensing Soul Cores, later becoming Golden Eagle Douluo and Demon Ape Douluo after breaking through.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gained strength through new Soul Cores while Heaven Dou City descended into turmoil over Shrek Academy’s hidden Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast. Qian Renxue weighed Spirit Hall’s plans for a palace coup but remained wary of acting, and Thousand Jun Douluo rebuked Ghost Leopard Douluo for pressuring her.

• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo condensed unusual Soul Cores, giving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect two more Titled Douluo-level experts.
• More than a thousand Soul Masters gathered in Heaven Dou City, leaving Shrek Academy and the imperial family under growing pressure as Xiao Wu’s identity drew attention.
• Qian Renxue met with Ghost Leopard Douluo, Kite Falcon Douluo, Thousand Jun Douluo, and Subduing Demon Douluo to discuss the planned Heaven Dou Palace Coup.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo outlined Spirit Hall’s plan to poison Xue Ye, seize the palace, capture Xiao Wu, and eliminate the Tang Sect while key opponents were absent.
• Qian Renxue questioned the plan because Heaven Dou City seemed unusually calm and Dugu Bo might interfere, then Thousand Jun Douluo ordered Ghost Leopard Douluo to stop challenging her decisions.

As Heaven Dou City fell under martial law, Yang Xiong used his knowledge of Tang Chen to draw the Clear Sky Sect into a meeting while waiting for the crisis to unfold. Xue Qinghe took control of the palace and launched a sweeping coup against his opponents, including Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

• Yang Xiong and Ning Rongrong visited Moonlight Pavilion, where he asked Tang Yuehua to tell Howling Sky Douluo that he knew Tang Chen’s whereabouts and wanted to meet.
• Ning Rongrong chose to stay with Yang Xiong in Heaven Dou City despite his urging her to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Troops and Soul Master Legions placed Heaven Dou City and the imperial palace under martial law as Xue Qinghe entered the palace and found the poisoned Xue Ye gravely weakened.
• Xue Qinghe questioned Ghost Leopard Douluo about the poison, then ordered his forces to eliminate potential threats across Heaven Dou City.
• Xue Qinghe’s plan targeted Prince Xue Xing, opposing ministers, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect, which he believed was a Clear Sky Sect front.

• Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong formed their Golden Holy Dragon to confront Ghost Leopard Douluo, but he escaped with Xiao Wu as Shrek Academy fell to the imperial troops.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo delivered Xiao Wu to Xue Qinghe, who delayed the order to send her to Spirit City because of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup and threatened the Golden Iron Triangle.

Tang San returned to Heaven Dou City to find Xiao Wu taken to the imperial palace, where Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and two Spirit Hall Titled Douluo had her captive. After Xue Qinghe badly wounded Tang San and insulted Tang Hao, a massive Clear Sky Hammer descended to confront him.

• Tang San and Titan entered a city engulfed in fighting and learned that Xiao Wu had been taken from Shrek Academy by a Titled Douluo.

• Xue Qinghe insulted Tang Hao and threatened to kill Tang San to draw him out, just as a huge Clear Sky Hammer descended and a voice challenged him.

Yang Wudi cured Emperor Xue Ye of Seven-Colored Splendor, and the emperor learned that Xue Qinghe had seized control of the capital in a plot tied to Spirit Hall. Suspecting that Xue Qinghe was an impostor wearing the Angel God Equipment, Emperor Xue Ye prepared to confront him, while Yang Wudi wondered how Yang Xiong had anticipated the crisis.

• Yang Wudi used the Aromatic Silk Beauty and medicinal herbs to treat Emperor Xue Ye’s Seven-Colored Splendor poisoning.

• A guard reported that Xue Qinghe controlled more than half of the imperial family’s Soul Masters and had sent troops to attack dissidents across Heaven Dou City.
• Yang Wudi proposed that Xue Qinghe might be an impostor using Spirit Hall’s Angel God Equipment, and Emperor Xue Ye suspected the real Xue Qinghe was a missing woman named Qian Xunji’s daughter.
• Emperor Xue Ye ordered the Chief Guard to prepare a meeting with Xue Qinghe, while Yang Wudi wondered whether Yang Xiong had already known about such a scheme.

Tang Hao joined the battle at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, but Thousand Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo kept him from helping Tang San. Yang Xiong rescued Xiao Wu and exposed Xue Qinghe as Qian Renxue, just as Xue Ye arrived to strip him of the crown prince title.

Xue Qinghe’s coup plunged the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace into battle as Yang Xiong confronted Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue revealed her true appearance and Eight-Ring Soul Douluo strength, while Yang Xiong unveiled two 100,000-year soul rings and left everyone wondering how he had obtained them.

• Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe both called on their followers to fight, turning the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace into chaos.

• Yang Xiong revealed his own soul rings, including two 100,000-year rings, stunning the experts and leaving Xiao Wu wondering what beast had supplied his seventh ring.

Yang Xiong fought Qian Renxue, first overpowering her with his strength and swordsmanship before she unleashed her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Avatar. Yang Xiong countered with his own Martial Soul Avatar, transforming his Divine Slaughter's Domain and turning the battle against her.

• Yang Xiong's Divine Slaughter's Domain clashed with Qian Renxue's Angel Domain as he drove her back with his Bone Crushing Punch.
• Qian Renxue used her Sacred Sword, but Yang Xiong matched her with the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword and gradually overwhelmed her with the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

• Yang Xiong used Asura True Body, transforming his domain and suppressing Qian Renxue's abilities; Tang Hao realized Yang Xiong's Divine Slaughter's Domain surpassed his own.

Yang Xiong defeated Qian Renxue during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, but let her escape when Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo intervened. The coup left the Heaven Dou Imperial Family devastated, and Xue Ye was left with no sons and only Princess Xue Ke as an heir.

• Yang Xiong countered Qian Renxue’s Angel Roar with Asura God Light, then shattered her Angel Judgment with Netherworld Dragon Claw and badly injured her.
