Li Chen and his companions harvested and divided immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then began absorbing them while Kong Deming kept watch. In Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe persuaded Xue Ye to send an alliance to Sunset Forest, hoping to test the Sun Moon Sect's strength.

• Dugu Bo urged the group to fight, but Ning Fengzhi intervened and Chen Xin restrained Dugu Bo after sensing danger from Kong Deming.

The Sun Moon Sect avoided a fight over the immortal herbs and offered the Heaven Dou Empire its Soul Tools. Qian Renxue arranged an exclusive hand-cannon deal, while Li Chen and Huo Yuhao planned to offer the same weapons to the other powers and spark an arms race.

• Dugu Bo backed down when Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Yu Yuanzhen refused to join a fight over the immortal herbs, and Kong Deming chose to avoid further conflict.

• Li Chen demonstrated the sect's Soul Tools to Qian Renxue and let her fire a Soul Tool Hand Cannon, which destroyed a large tree.
• Yu Yuanzhen agreed to buy hand cannons for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins each, and Li Chen said the sect had not sold them to Spirit Hall.
• Qian Renxue secured an exclusive Heaven Dou Empire deal for the hand cannons, with a fifty-million-Gold-Soul-Coin deposit and payment in metals of equivalent value.

• Bibi Dong reprimanded Yue Guan for arresting Yu Xiaogang, then freed Yu Xiaogang and agreed to release his students while keeping Tang Hao and Tang San captive.

• Qian Daoliu arrived, recognized Tang Hao and Tang San, and ordered Bibi Dong to release them because he had promised Tang Chen not to harm anyone from the Clear Sky Sect.

Qian Daoliu released Tang Hao and Tang San after the Asura God influenced his mind, while Bibi Dong planned to strengthen her alliance with the Sun Moon Sect. In Heaven Dou City, Xue Ye demanded that the Forging Association copy the Sun Moon Sect’s Soul Tool technology in three months, and Lou Gao spent the night examining a Hand Cannon without understanding it.

• The Forging Association President woke Lou Gao and asked him to study the Sun Moon Sect’s Hand Cannon, which Lou Gao examined until dawn without figuring it out.

Li Chen recruited Dugu Bo to spy on the Heaven Dou Empire for the Sun Moon Sect, arguing that war with its rivals was inevitable. Dugu Bo agreed, and Li Chen gave him instructions for sending reports.

• Li Chen explained that he had brought powerful experts to oversee the shop’s low-end Soul Tools so the Heaven Dou Empire would mistake them for prized weapons.
• Li Chen met Dugu Bo three days late at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and offered to cure his poison in exchange for intelligence on the Heaven Dou Empire.

• Dugu Bo realized Xue Ye would not act against the Sun Moon Sect while he depended on its Soul Tools, then agreed to spy for Li Chen.
• Li Chen handed Dugu Bo a booklet and prepared to teach him how to send reports through his Soul Guide Communicator.

Li Chen cured Dugu Bo’s poison through a method that preserved his poison attacks, gave him powerful armor, and recovered Ah Yin before returning to Heaven Dou City. There, Ji Juechen challenged Sword Douluo Chen Xin and defeated him with a single sword strike, leaving the spectators stunned.

• Li Chen left Dugu Bo a manual explaining how to channel his poison into a Soul Bone, along with supplies and Martial Soul Avatar Armor that increased his strength.
• Li Chen used detectors to find Ah Yin hidden in a cave, took her into his Storage Soul Tool, and vowed to settle accounts with Tang Hao and Tang San.

• Ji Juechen unleashed one immense slash that shattered Chen Xin’s attack and defeated him, then sheathed his sword and walked away.

Ji Juechen defeated Chen Xin in a sword duel, while Li Chen gathered materials for a Level 8 Fixed-Installed Soul Tool Shell and coordinated Ju Zi’s relocation to the Star Luo Empire. The chapter ended with Huo Yuhao reporting that craftsman Lou Gao wanted to join the Sun Moon Sect.

• Ji Juechen wounded Chen Xin with his swordsmanship, rejected Chen Xin’s request to teach him, and left for Heaven Dou City.
• Chen Xin left to lead the Soul Hunting Operation, while Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong followed Ji Juechen into the city.
• Li Chen sold bargain versions of Ji Juechen’s Demon Sword: Thousand Blades and gathered enough materials to build a Level 8 Fixed-Installed Soul Tool Shell.

• Huo Yuhao told Li Chen that the craftsman Lou Gao wanted to join the Sun Moon Sect.

Ju Zi negotiated with the Star Luo Emperor to build a Soul Guide Train railway and offered the empire a powerful defensive Soul Tool Shield in exchange for control of Gengxin City. The emperor accepted the deal despite Dai Mubai’s warnings, leaving Dai Mubai fearing for his life.

• Li Chen rejected Huo Yuhao’s suggestion to kill Lou Gao and proposed sending him to persuade the Star Luo Emperor to approve railway construction.
• Ju Zi entered the Star Luo Imperial Palace alone to negotiate with the Star Luo Emperor, while Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi attended.
• Dai Mubai challenged Ju Zi, but she rebuked him and explained the railway’s economic and military benefits to Dai Weisi and the emperor.
• Ju Zi demonstrated a Soul Tool Shield that could withstand a Soul Douluo’s attack and offered it in exchange for Gengxin City’s autonomous rule and metal supplies.
• The Star Luo Emperor slapped Dai Mubai for objecting and shook Ju Zi’s hand to seal the partnership, leaving Dai Mubai terrified.

Ju Zi secured Star Luo Emperor’s approval for the railway project, while Li Chen refused Ning Fengzhi’s request to buy Flying Soul Tools because the sect lacked spare materials. After a month, the sect completed a powerful Level 8.5 high-explosive bomb, and Ji Juechen announced that he had broken through to a new sword realm and was ready to seek his ninth Soul Ring.

• Kong Deming took Li Chen and Ji Juechen to the Star Dou Great Forest, where they used detectors to locate Da Ming and Er Ming.

• Dugu Bo used his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor true body and poison to knock Tang Hao unconscious and capture him.

Li Chen and Kong Deming collected Soul Bones from the Star Dou Great Forest after a powerful Soul Tool blast, drawing Chen Xin and Di Tian toward the site. At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang assured his students they could match the Sun Moon Sect’s prodigies, but Tang San decided to leave and return to the Clear Sky Sect.

• Li Chen and Kong Deming gathered Soul Bones from the blast zone and counted the haul as a huge profit from the Level 8 Fixed-Installed Soul Tool Shell.
• Chen Xin saw the mushroom cloud while leading Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members through the forest, guessed a disaster or Ferocious Beast clash had caused it, and flew toward the blast site in search of Soul Bones.

Li Chen and his companions returned to Heaven Dou City after killing Sword Douluo, and Li Chen considered ways to balance humans and soul beasts with help from his supercomputer martial soul. Back at the shop, Huo Yuhao prepared to fight Shui Bing'er, but news that their Soul Guidance Milk Bottles had been stolen left the situation unresolved.

• Li Chen, Kong Deming, and Ji Juechen discussed how to balance humans and soul beasts, and Li Chen asked his supercomputer martial soul for solutions.
