Chapter Summaries

Ye Han warned Dugu Bo and the others about the risks and requirements of condensing a Soul Core, then demonstrated his Soul Core Method by forming a Bloodline Vortex. The vortex stabilized inside Ye Han and continuously absorbed Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, proving his experiment had succeeded.

• Dugu Bo recounted how he had evolved his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul and condensed his Pill Pearl, and Ye Han warned him that a failed Soul Core attempt could cause a devastating explosion.
• Ye Han explained that most soul masters needed cultivation approaching seven rings to attempt a Soul Core, and Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling not to rush their cultivation.
• Ye Han learned that Ye Haixin had reached level 89 and asked Dugu Bo to invite him to witness the experiment and stand guard.
• Ye Han gathered bloodline power and soul power into a rotating vortex, then stabilized the Bloodline Vortex through careful control.
• Ye Han drew the Bloodline Vortex into his chest, where it began absorbing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy and supplying his body with power.

Ye Han demonstrated soul power vortex condensation through the Fire Qilin and warned everyone to keep soul cores secret because of the danger they could attract. Two days later, Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing arrived at Dugu Manor seeking Dugu Bo’s help against an outside academy at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

• Ye Han explained soul power vortex and soul core condensation, and the Fire Qilin condensed a fire-attribute vortex of his own.
• Ye Han warned that attempting condensation was dangerous and said Ye Haixin, whose cultivation was stuck at level 89, was best suited to try it.
• Dugu Yan questioned how the Fire Qilin could condense a vortex independently, and Ye Han attributed it to the unusual nature of external beast martial souls.
• Dugu Bo warned Ye Han, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling to keep soul core knowledge secret, and they agreed.
• Two days later, Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing came to Dugu Manor after people from an outside academy injured Xue Beng at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Prince Xue Xing asked Dugu Bo to intimidate the outside academy’s instructors, and Dugu Bo considered their request.

Ye Han accompanied Xue Beng and Dugu Bo to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where Prince Xue Xing challenged Shrek Academy’s admission and demanded that its members endure five minutes against Dugu Bo. After Tang San revealed his rare external soul bone, Yu Xiaogang recognized the danger and tried to stop Flender from accepting the challenge.

• Xue Beng named Shrek Academy, prompting Dugu Bo to join him, while Ye Han, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling also went along.
• At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ye Han noticed Tang San’s Level 38 cultivation and detected two additional dragon-type soul bones in his right arm and left leg.
• Tang San withstood Zhi Lin’s pressure by revealing his Eight Spider Lances, and Dugu Bo secretly considered taking the external soul bone from him.
• Prince Xue Xing invoked Xue Beng’s injury to oppose Shrek Academy’s admission and asked Dugu Bo to assess the group by making them last five minutes.
• Flender prepared to accept, but Yu Xiaogang recognized Dugu Bo and urgently warned him to stay silent because Tang San’s exposed soul bone could attract the Poison Douluo.
