Chapter Summaries

Li Qingshan, a Soul Grandmaster with two systems, sought out Yu Xiaogang to recruit him as a disciple and help his Martial Soul evolve. He found Yu Xiaogang in a forest below the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and made his offer, leaving Yu Xiaogang surprised.

• Li Qingshan asked Yu Xiaogang to become his disciple and promised to help evolve his Martial Soul.
• Yu Xiaogang looked up from his book in surprise, while Luo Sanpao watched Li Qingshan.
• Li Qingshan recognized Yu Xiaogang and Luo Sanpao from the Douluo Continent comic.
• Li Qingshan recalled arriving in Douluo Continent more than thirty years before Tang San's birth and receiving the Lie-to-Truth System and Apprenticeship System.
• Li Qingshan chose Yu Xiaogang as his first disciple and spent more than ten days watching the paths below the clan mountain for a chance to meet him.

Li Qingshan posed as a level 99 Limit Douluo to win Yu Xiaogang’s trust and persuade him that Luo Sanpao’s mutation might not be complete. When Yu Xiaogang asked how Sanpao could evolve, the lie began to manifest as a wisp of a Limit Douluo’s aura.

• Li Qingshan claimed to be Love Sword Douluo, a level 99 Limit Douluo with the twin Martial Souls Passionate Sword and Heartless Sword.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned Li Qingshan’s age, title, and weak-seeming Soul Power, and Li Qingshan explained that he concealed his cultivation while retracing his path.
• Li Qingshan praised Yu Xiaogang’s persistence and suggested that Luo Sanpao’s mutation might still be unfinished.
• Yu Xiaogang asked whether Li Qingshan had seen a similar case and how Luo Sanpao could evolve.
• The system reported that Yu Xiaogang had begun believing Li Qingshan’s identity, raising reality progress to 2% and manifesting a wisp of a Limit Douluo’s aura.

Li Qingshan used a brief display of overwhelming pressure to convince Yu Xiaogang that he was no ordinary Soul Grandmaster, while the system permanently awakened his Twin Martial Souls and raised his innate aptitude to full Soul Power. He showed Yu Xiaogang the Passionate Sword and Heartless Sword, leaving him stunned and believing Li Qingshan’s claims.

• Li Qingshan released an aura that stopped the forest and left Yu Xiaogang and Luo Sanpao trembling.
• Yu Xiaogang began to believe Li Qingshan’s identity, and the system permanently manifested the Passionate Sword, the Heartless Sword, and Innate Full Soul Power.
• Yu Xiaogang addressed Li Qingshan as Senior and asked about the aura he had released.
• Li Qingshan summoned the Passionate Sword and showed Yu Xiaogang its silver, crystalline blade.
• Li Qingshan summoned the Heartless Sword and confirmed that both swords were his Martial Souls.
• Yu Xiaogang accepted that Li Qingshan possessed Twin Martial Souls and cultivation far beyond his apparent level.

Li Qingshan persuaded Yu Xiaogang to become his disciple by recognizing his dedication to Luo Sanpao and promising he could help the Martial Soul evolve. The system rewarded Li Qingshan for accepting Yu Xiaogang, raising his Soul Power to level thirty.

• Li Qingshan examined Yu Xiaogang’s detailed records and explained that his perseverance made him worth teaching.
• Li Qingshan promised he could help Luo Sanpao evolve, but said he would teach Yu Xiaogang only if Yu Xiaogang became his disciple.
• Yu Xiaogang weighed Li Qingshan’s demonstrated strength and promise, then knelt and accepted him as his teacher.
• The system announced Li Qingshan had successfully accepted a disciple and rewarded him with seven Soul Power levels, bringing him to level thirty.
• Li Qingshan felt the system’s power surge through his meridians and break through barriers until his Soul Power reached level thirty.

Li Qingshan unlocked three Soul Skills for the Passionate Sword after reaching level thirty and began advising Yu Xiaogang on how to help Luo Sanpao evolve. The chapter ended with Yu Xiaogang mistaking Li Qingshan’s prescription of Whale Rubber for an indecent suggestion.

• Li Qingshan learned that the Passionate Sword’s Soul Rings and Soul Skills unlocked automatically with his Soul Power, while he would have to find Soul Rings himself for the Heartless Sword.
• Upon reaching level thirty, Li Qingshan unlocked the Passionate Sword’s first three Soul Skills: Once, Sincerity, and Regret.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Li Qingshan how to help Luo Sanpao evolve and whether he should begin by absorbing his First Soul Ring.
• Li Qingshan told Yu Xiaogang to delay his First Soul Ring, strengthen his constitution first, and take Whale Rubber in divided doses for a month.
• Yu Xiaogang recognized Whale Rubber as an aphrodisiac and blushed, suspecting that Li Qingshan had an improper reason for giving it to him.

Li Qingshan taught Yu Xiaogang that Whale Rubber could strengthen his physique, and after a month of taking it, Yu Xiaogang returned with clear improvements. His progress earned Li Qingshan eight Soul Power levels, and the chapter ended as Li Qingshan revealed Dragon Meat and a sealed jar for Luo Sanpao.

• Li Qingshan explained that Whale Rubber could improve Yu Xiaogang's physique and help him endure a stronger First Soul Ring, so Yu Xiaogang postponed the hunt and took it in measured doses for a month.
• Yu Xiaogang returned with detailed records showing that his strength, stamina, and recovery had improved, and Li Qingshan praised his diligence.
• Yu Xiaogang's belief in Li Qingshan deepened, raising Realization Progress and awarding Li Qingshan five Soul Power levels.
• The system also rewarded Li Qingshan three Soul Power levels because Yu Xiaogang's improved physique had changed his growth trajectory, bringing Li Qingshan to level thirty-eight.
• Li Qingshan brought out Dragon Meat and a sealed clay jar to discuss Luo Sanpao's next steps, and Luo Sanpao fixed his attention on the food.

Li Qingshan fed Luo Sanpao Dragon Meat and Dragon Blood, explaining to Yu Xiaogang that the unusual Martial Soul might grow by absorbing dragon power and undergo a second evolution. In the original Douluo World, Shrek Academy watched the Sky Screen showing events from another world.

• Luo Sanpao eagerly reacted to the Dragon Meat and Dragon Blood Li Qingshan had brought.
• Yu Xiaogang worried the food might harm Sanpao because his family had recommended white radishes.
• Li Qingshan explained that Sanpao could eat independently and might be a failed mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
• Li Qingshan suggested feeding Sanpao suitable Dragon Meat and Dragon Blood to nourish his latent power and possibly trigger a Second Evolution.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed, and Sanpao ate the meat and drank the Dragon Blood while Li Qingshan watched for a reaction.
• At Shrek Academy in Suotuo City, Tang San, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others watched a Sky Screen showing Li Qingshan meeting and accepting Yu Xiaogang as his disciple in another Douluo World.

At Shrek Academy, Grandmaster dismissed Li Qingshan’s claim that feeding Dragon meat and blood could evolve Luo Sanpao, despite evidence that Whale Rubber had improved the other Yu Xiaogang’s condition. The chapter left Grandmaster insisting that he knew Luo Sanpao better than anyone as the golden Luo Sanpao ate on the Sky Screen.

• Oscar and Dai Mubai noticed that time passed differently on the Sky Screen, while Ning Rongrong compared the young Yu Xiaogang with Grandmaster.
• Xiao Wu remarked that the golden Luo Sanpao looked cuter than Grandmaster’s pale-purple Luo Sanpao, and Tang San explained that different worlds could have different versions.
• Li Qingshan gave the young Yu Xiaogang Dragon-Type Soul Beast meat and blood and said they could promote Luo Sanpao’s Second Evolution.
• Grandmaster called Li Qingshan’s claim absurd and questioned whether the man was truly a Level 99 Limit Douluo, while Ning Rongrong and Flender pointed to evidence they had seen.
• Grandmaster admitted that Whale Rubber had improved the young Yu Xiaogang’s condition but argued that feeding Luo Sanpao could not change its fundamental nature.
• Grandmaster summoned his own Luo Sanpao and declared that he knew it better than anyone, while the golden Luo Sanpao continued eating on the Sky Screen.

Grandmaster dismissed Li Qingshan’s claim that Dragon Meat and Dragon Blood could evolve Luo Sanpao, while the Sky Screen showed the young Yu Xiaogang eagerly following Li’s instructions. Bibi Dong hoped Li could keep his promise, and Qian Daoliu waited for more evidence of the man’s strength and motives.

• Grandmaster argued that Luo Sanpao’s ability to recover attacks with white radishes did not prove Dragon Meat could evolve its Martial Soul, and he mocked Yu Xiaogang for becoming Li Qingshan’s disciple.
• Tang San urged Grandmaster to keep watching until Li Qingshan’s method could be judged, as Luo Sanpao finished the Dragon Meat and licked Dragon Blood from a bowl.
• Bibi Dong recognized Yu Xiaogang’s old struggles and watched him eagerly report his cultivation progress, then hoped Li Qingshan could keep the promise that had given him hope.
• Qian Daoliu said he could not confirm Li Qingshan’s level from the Sky Screen alone and wondered why a powerful man would choose Yu Xiaogang as his disciple.

Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen watched the Sky Screen’s Yu Xiaogang respond to hardship with gratitude and persistence, unlike the Yu Xiaogang they knew. Yu Yuanzhen ordered records on Martial Soul Mutation and Dragon-type Soul Beasts, determined to see how far the boy could go.

• Ning Fengzhi ordered Whale Rubber purchased and tested, recording the subjects’ ages, dosages, and changes.
• Ning Fengzhi considered whether nurturing might inspire a path to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, while Chen Xin wondered about the strength of Li Qingshan’s two swords.
• Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders compared the Sky Screen’s Yu Xiaogang with their own, recalling how their Yu Xiaogang blamed his father and clan for his poor talent.
• Yu Yuanzhen remembered how he had repeatedly spent clan resources trying to help his son, who had taken those efforts for granted.
• Yu Yuanzhen ordered texts on Martial Soul Mutation and Dragon-type Soul Beasts brought to him so he could see how far the Sky Screen’s Yu Xiaogang would go.

Yu Xiaogang discovered that Luo Sanpao had grown Dragon Scales after eating Dragon Meat and Dragon Blood, confirming that his Martial Soul had begun to evolve. The change strengthened Li Qingshan through his system, and he ended the chapter by proposing that they plan for Yu Xiaogang’s First Soul Ring.

• Yu Xiaogang hurried to Li Qingshan with Luo Sanpao after finding three pale-gold scales on the creature’s back.
• Li Qingshan confirmed that Luo Sanpao had begun evolving toward becoming a dragon, though the current feeding would not be enough to complete it.
• Yu Xiaogang reflected on how Li Qingshan’s training had changed Luo Sanpao and deepened his respect for his teacher.
• The Apprenticeship System rewarded Li Qingshan with two Soul Power levels, raising him from level thirty-eight to level forty and unlocking the Passionate Sword’s Fourth Soul Skill, Fury.
• The Apprenticeship System permanently increased the ages of all four of Li Qingshan’s Soul Rings by one thousand years each after Luo Sanpao’s initial evolution.
• Li Qingshan told Yu Xiaogang to continue feeding Luo Sanpao the same amounts and said they should plan for Yu Xiaogang’s First Soul Ring.

Yu Xiaogang asked Li Qingshan to choose a First Soul Ring that would help Luo Sanpao continue evolving. Three days later, Li Qingshan presented a weakened seven-hundred-and-sixty-year-old Holy Light Earth Dragon, whose Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline he said could suit Sanpao’s transformation.

• Yu Xiaogang told Li Qingshan that his father had prepared a three-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Thunder Dragon Lizard as a possible First Soul Ring.
• Li Qingshan explained that Yu Xiaogang should prioritize a Soul Ring that could advance Luo Sanpao’s evolution rather than simply add lightning abilities.
• Li Qingshan told Yu Xiaogang to track Sanpao’s changes and return in three days while he handled the First Soul Ring.
• Li Qingshan dropped a weakened Holy Light Earth Dragon before Yu Xiaogang and identified it as a seven-hundred-and-sixty-year-old Light Attribute lesser dragon.
• Li Qingshan explained that the Holy Light Earth Dragon’s trace of Golden Sacred Dragon blood could help Luo Sanpao evolve and grant Yu Xiaogang a suitable Soul Skill.

Li Qingshan explained why Yu Xiaogang could withstand a First Soul Ring older than the usual limit, then guided him into absorbing the 760-year-old Holy Light Earth Dragon’s Soul Ring. The absorption began, and Luo Sanpao’s golden scales started to glow.

• Yu Xiaogang worried that his level-ten Soul Power could not withstand the Holy Light Earth Dragon’s 760-year-old Soul Ring.
• Li Qingshan explained that Whale Rubber and daily training had strengthened Yu Xiaogang’s body beyond that of an ordinary Soul Master.
• Li Qingshan reassured Yu Xiaogang that the Holy Light Earth Dragon’s Soul Ring was within his capacity, though absorbing it would be painful.
• Following Li Qingshan’s instructions, Yu Xiaogang killed the weakened Holy Light Earth Dragon and summoned its Yellow Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang sat down, released Luo Sanpao, and drew the Soul Ring toward himself to begin absorbing it.
• As the Soul Ring’s power entered Yu Xiaogang, Luo Sanpao’s three pale-gold scales began to glow.

Yu Xiaogang absorbed his first Soul Ring, which strengthened Luo Sanpao and granted him the Sacred Dragon Breath skill. After seeing the skill shatter a rock, Yu Xiaogang thanked Li Qingshan, who told him to keep training and record the skill’s effects.

• Yu Xiaogang absorbed the Yellow Soul Ring, and Luo Sanpao grew more dragonlike as golden scales spread across his back.
• Yu Xiaogang discovered that his First Soul Skill was Sacred Dragon Breath and used it to blast apart a rock.
• Li Qingshan told Yu Xiaogang to track the skill’s power, uses, and effects on Luo Sanpao.
• Yu Xiaogang knelt to thank Li Qingshan, who helped him up and urged him to keep training.
• At Shrek Academy, the people watching the Sky Screen stared in silence at Luo Sanpao’s golden blast.

Grandmaster rejected the Sky Screen's evidence that Li Qingshan's methods had changed Luo Sanpao, insisting that his own Martial Soul Theory was correct. In another world, Yu Yuanzhen discovered that Yu Xiaogang had reached rank twelve and absorbed a First Soul Ring without using the prepared Thunder Dragon Lizard.

• Oscar and the others reacted in disbelief as Yu Xiaogang on the Sky Screen absorbed a seven-hundred-and-sixty-year First Soul Ring and Luo Sanpao displayed a powerful golden breath attack.
• Grandmaster claimed the Pouched Rat was the right Soul Ring for Luo Sanpao and argued that Li Qingshan's Dragon-type Soul Ring choice was wasteful.
• Zhu Zhuqing questioned whether Grandmaster could judge the attack's limits after seeing it used only once, and Dai Mubai pointed out Luo Sanpao's changes in its scales, body, limbs, and tail.
• Grandmaster lost his composure, demanded to know whether Luo Sanpao had become a dragon, and threatened students who questioned his Martial Soul Theory with expulsion from Shrek Academy.
• Yu Yuanzhen sensed that Yu Xiaogang had reached rank twelve and absorbed his First Soul Ring, then asked why the prepared Thunder Dragon Lizard was still in the beast pen.

Yu Yuanzhen saw that Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul had changed and began believing that Li Qingshan was a powerful hidden master. That belief gave Li Qingshan a permanent wisp of Limit Douluo Spiritual Power, and he realized that other people could spread his claimed identity and increase his Reality Progress.

• Yu Xiaogang told Yu Yuanzhen about becoming Li Qingshan’s disciple and showed him Luo Sanpao’s scales, First Soul Ring, and Sacred Dragon Breath.
• Yu Yuanzhen accepted that Luo Sanpao had changed and began to believe Yu Xiaogang’s account of Love Sword Douluo.
• Li Qingshan received a wisp of Limit Douluo Spiritual Power, used it to sense his surroundings for three breaths, and learned that it would recover after twelve hours.
• Li Qingshan learned from the system that people could increase his Reality Progress by believing an identity he had publicly claimed, even if they heard about it from someone else.
• A few days later, Yu Xiaogang visited Li Qingshan’s cottage with Luo Sanpao, and Li Qingshan invited him to sit so they could talk.

Li Qingshan planned to take Yu Xiaogang and Luo Sanpao away for training, but Yu Xiaogang told him that Yu Yuanzhen wanted to meet him. Li Qingshan agreed to appear using a Firework signal, and the chapter ended as Yu Xiaogang set it off before his father and the clan elders.

• Li Qingshan told Yu Xiaogang he planned to take him and Luo Sanpao away to gain practical experience and find resources for Sanpao's growth.
• Li Qingshan considered seeking more disciples to increase his progress toward becoming a Limit Douluo.
• Yu Xiaogang said Yu Yuanzhen wanted to meet Li Qingshan, and Li Qingshan agreed to appear when Yu Xiaogang set off a Firework.
• Li Qingshan prepared to use the brief burst of Limit Douluo Spiritual Power in his Sea of Consciousness to handle the meeting.
• Yu Xiaogang returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and lit the Firework in front of Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, and several elders.

Li Qingshan used a Spiritual Power incarnation to convince Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that he was a Limit Douluo, then gained enough Reality Progress to receive major rewards. Back at his cottage, his Soul Power surged to level seventy, and his Passionate Sword unlocked its fifth Soul Skill, Traceback.

• Li Qingshan sent a Spiritual Power incarnation to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after Yu Xiaogang's Firework summoned him.
• Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian witnessed the incarnation and accepted that Li Qingshan was a Limit Douluo.
• Li Qingshan told Yu Yuanzhen he would take Yu Xiaogang out to gain experience, then his incarnation vanished.
• Li Qingshan learned that the clan's belief had raised his Reality Progress to 60 percent and earned him stage rewards.
• Li Qingshan's Soul Power rose from level forty to level seventy, and his Passionate Sword unlocked the fifth Soul Skill, Traceback.

Li Qingshan reached Soul Saint level and gained new Passionate Sword skills and short-range spatial travel. Yu Xiaogang prepared to leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to train with him, ignoring the clan youths who mocked his Martial Soul.

• Li Qingshan broke through from level forty to level seventy, unlocked the Delusion and Martial Soul Avatar skills, and tested spatial travel by moving beneath a nearby tree.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the clan elders encouraged Yu Xiaogang to train with Li Qingshan and reminded him to take care of himself.
• Yu Xiaogang packed clothes, books, and Luo Sanpao’s records, then set out to meet his teacher with Luo Sanpao.
• Several clan youths mocked Yu Xiaogang’s Trash Martial Soul and doubted that Li Qingshan could help him.
• Yu Xiaogang continued on without reacting to their insults, resolved to study hard, and remained confident in Luo Sanpao.

Li Qingshan took Yu Xiaogang toward Heaven Dou City, intending to seek Immortal Herbs in the Sunset Forest to help Luo Sanpao evolve and make up for Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul defects. He claimed to be an Alchemy Master, causing a new identity lie to begin becoming reality.

• Li Qingshan told Yu Xiaogang that they were going to Heaven Dou City and explained he wanted to find herbs for Yu Xiaogang and Luo Sanpao.
• Yu Xiaogang doubted that herbs could help after the ordinary medicinal herbs his father had found had produced little change in Luo Sanpao.
• Li Qingshan explained that Immortal Herbs could improve aptitude or compensate for Martial Soul defects, but had to be chosen and used correctly.
• Yu Xiaogang asked whether Li Qingshan understood how to use Immortal Herbs, and Li Qingshan claimed he had studied medicine and was an Alchemy Master.
• A golden Light Curtain declared that Li Qingshan’s new Alchemy Master identity lie had been established and was 60% toward becoming reality.
