Chapter Summaries

Dai Mubai defeated Tang San and forced Shrek Academy's students to choose between training with Zhao Wuji or Yu Xiaogang. Ten days later, Dai Mubai planned to find the Icefire Yin Yang Well before Tang San could reach it.

• Dai Mubai overwhelmed Tang San, then spared him and warned Yu Xiaogang not to interfere with training again.

• Ten days later, Dai Mubai decided to seek the Icefire Yin Yang Well before Tang San learned of it, believing his weapons and combat strength could help him enter Sunset Forest alone.

Dai Mubai decided the Eight Spider Lances would suit Zhu Zhuqing better than his own abilities and arranged to give them to her away from Shrek Academy. After taking her to a hotel suite, he showed her his Darkgold Terrorclaw and revealed the dark-purple soul bone he intended to give her.

• Dai Mubai removed his clothes and Storage Soul Tools before harvesting the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot with iron and jade knives.
• Dai Mubai swallowed both herbs together, then consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to help balance and absorb their medicinal power.

Dai Mubai survived refining his body in the Icefire Yin Yang Well and gained major changes to his physique, Martial Soul, soul bone, and eyes. He left the Sunset Forest and planned how to keep Tang San from discovering that he had taken the Immortal Herbs.

• Dai Mubai endured the Icefire Yin Yang Well's extreme heat and cold as the herbs and spring water transformed his body, soul bone, and Evil Eyes.
• Dai Mubai collected two containers of spring water, flew away from the well, and reached a secluded cave near the Sunset Forest.

• Dai Mubai considered how to hide the Icefire Yin Yang Well from Tang San, fearing that Tang San could trace the stolen herbs back to him and bring Tang Hao and Dugu Bo after him.

Dai Mubai poisoned Dugu Bo with the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, exploiting the banquet at Prince Xue Xing's Residence to trigger the Titled Douluo's poison. He ambushed Dugu Bo at the Icefire Yin Yang Well and killed him with his Pistols.

• Dai Mubai ground the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss into powder and secretly added it to the wine and water at Prince Xue Xing's Residence.

Dai Mubai looted and buried Dugu Bo, then stayed at the Icefire Yin Yang Well to stabilize his strength and break through to Level 50. After expanding his spiritual power with an Immortal Herb and developing a new attack, he went searching for a fifth Soul Ring and ended the chapter fleeing a powerful Winged Tiger.

He made a favorable first impression on Shui Bing'er and the other students, then learned Shui Yue'er was seeking a suitable third Soul Ring.

• The Winged Tiger chased Dai Mubai to the poisonous miasma around the Icefire Yin Yang Well, where it stopped rather than risk the poison.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing awakened an evolved Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Gengjin Form Hell White Tiger, and Dai Mubai shared Whale Rubber with his companions to strengthen their physiques. Half a month later, the group reached the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region, where Dai Mubai still searched for his fifth Soul Ring.
