Chapter Summaries

Shrek Academy’s match against the Star Luo Royal Team turned disastrous as the team’s assumptions about their opponents proved wrong. Dai Weisi’s attack on Ma Hongjun left the Phoenix Soul Master exposed in midair.

• Han Tao introduced Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun as students from the Star Luo Royal Elite Academy, whose combat strength surpassed Shrek’s.
• Tang San’s team opened with Godly Zhuge Crossbows, but Zhu Zhuyun dodged the bolts and tore free from Blue Silver Grass, leaving Tang San shaken by his Martial Soul’s weakness.
• Dai Weisi hit Dai Mubai with White Tiger Spirit Destruction, while Zhu Zhuyun endured Tang San’s Dragon Beard Needles by cutting them from her own wrist.
• Zhu Zhuyun attacked Oscar, used Netherworld Spring Fall to redirect Jiang Zhu’s healing, and forced the injured Oscar out of the arena.
• Yu Xiaogang shouted for Tang San to use Hidden Weapons, but Ma Hongjun took Oscar’s Mushroom Sausage and attacked Zhu Zhuyun from the air.
• Dai Weisi’s White Tiger Raging Light Wave broke through Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix Fire Wire and continued toward him.

Tang San tried to stop Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun from fusing their martial souls, but the Star Luo Royal Team completed the Hell White Tiger and forced Shrek into retreat. Tang San saved Dai Mubai, but the attack shattered his Blue Silver Grass, leaving Yu Xiaogang to identify the damage as Martial Soul Damage.

• Ma Hongjun was struck by Dai Weisi's White Tiger Raging Light Wave and fell from the fight.
• Tang San attacked Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun to interrupt their Martial Soul Fusion, but a Star Luo defender endured his Hidden Weapons while their teammates defeated Shrek's support Soul Masters.
• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun fused into the Hell White Tiger, which used White Tiger Shakes the Earth against Dai Mubai.
• Tang San used Blue Silver Entanglement to throw Dai Mubai off the stage, but the Hell White Tiger's attack shattered Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
• Yu Xiaogang called for the match to be conceded, and after the referee stopped the fight, he recognized Tang San's condition as Martial Soul Damage.

After Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass suffered Martial Soul Damage, Yu Xiaogang offered uncertain advice and rejected Zhu Zhuqing’s suggestion to seek Ye Lingling’s healing. Tang Hao attacked Yu Xiaogang and then turned his fury on Dai Mubai, while Zhu Zhuqing refused Dai Mubai’s request to fuse their martial souls.

• Tang San despaired over his damaged martial soul, and Yu Xiaogang advised him to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer and hope his Blue Silver Grass recovered.
• Zhu Zhuqing suggested Ye Lingling’s Nine Heart Begonia, but Tang San and Yu Xiaogang rejected the idea.
• Tang Hao struck Yu Xiaogang with his Clear Sky Hammer, crushing both his arm bones, before Bibi Dong intervened and clashed with Tang Hao.
• Tang San defended Yu Xiaogang, and Tang Hao accused Dai Mubai of pushing Tang San into the match and attacked him.
• Dai Mubai ordered Zhu Zhuqing to fuse their martial souls, but she refused.

Dai Mubai died beneath Tang Hao’s Clear Sky Hammer, while Zhu Zhuqing and the Star Luo royals faced accusations and suspicion over his death. Han Tao read Dai Weisi’s and Tang San’s thoughts, discovering the royals were performing unity for the emperor and that Tang San sought immortal herbs to restore his Blue Silver Grass; the chapter ended with Han Tao thinking of Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

• Dai Mubai accepted that he had lost and died when Tang Hao struck him with the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Yu Xiaogang and Tang San blamed Zhu Zhuqing for not saving Dai Mubai, while Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun arrived and claimed they would avenge him.
• Dai Weisi accused Tang Hao of killing a Star Luo prince, and Zhu Zhuyun suggested Tang San had arranged Dai Mubai’s death.
• Han Tao used Ye Lingling’s mind-focus support to read Dai Weisi’s thoughts and learned that the royal pair’s grief and accusation were a performance to demonstrate their unity to the Star Luo Emperor.
• Han Tao read Tang San’s thoughts and learned that he believed immortal herbs could restore his Blue Silver Grass, then reviewed the herb knowledge in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
• Han Tao noted that the remaining herbs were poisoned and thought of Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Tang Hao sought Bibi Dong’s advice on repairing Tang San’s damaged martial soul, and she directed him to Han Tao for his research on martial soul theory. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang went to the Seven Treasure Team seeking treatment and tried to recruit Han Tao, but Han Tao rejected him and his theories.

• Tang Hao asked Bibi Dong whether martial soul damage could be repaired, and she said Spirit Hall had no method and suggested he consult Han Tao.
• Bibi Dong told Tang Hao that Han Tao had reached Soul Ancestor despite having low Innate Soul Power because he had developed a theory to compensate for it.
• Yu Xiaogang visited the Seven Treasure Team to ask Ye Lingling for treatment, but Ning Rongrong kicked him outside and slammed the door.
• Han Tao recognized Yu Xiaogang and heard him criticize the team’s lineup before proposing that Han Tao follow a Control System path under his guidance.
• Han Tao rejected Yu Xiaogang’s theories, and Yu Xiaogang insisted the team could not win the championship without him before asking Ye Lingling for treatment.

Han Tao agreed to treat Yu Xiaogang in exchange for his blood after Yu Xiaogang insulted Seven Treasure Academy. Ye Lingling healed Yu Xiaogang’s left arm before running out of Soul Power, and Han Tao later explained that she was researching bloodlines and their effects on Soul Masters’ physiques.

• Ning Rongrong mocked Yu Xiaogang, and Han Tao demanded blood as the price for treating him.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed, and Ye Lingling drew his blood and healed his left arm with her Nine Heart Begonia.
• Yu Xiaogang demanded treatment for his right arm, but Ye Lingling said she had run out of Soul Power; Han Tao told him to leave, and Ning Rongrong kicked him out.
• After Yu Xiaogang left, Ning Rongrong asked why Ye Lingling had been collecting Soul Master blood, and Han Tao said she was researching bloodlines and their effects on physique.
• Ning Rongrong guessed that Ye Lingling was trying to find a way around her physical limits.

Han Tao and Ye Lingling investigated the bloodline components needed to recreate the Golden Saint Dragon and obtained Flender's blood from prison. Their first attempt produced a weak Golden Saint Dragon bloodline, while their analysis suggested Yu Xiaogang’s choices had prevented his Martial Soul from developing into a powerful form.

• Ye Lingling determined that Yu Xiaogang’s blood had abundant Light Attribute Factors but lacked sufficient Dragonkin Blood Seed, and Han Tao concluded that Liu Erlong’s and Flender’s bloodlines were also needed.
• Han Tao used Xue Qinghe’s Crown Prince Token to visit the imprisoned Flender, whose Martial Soul and meridians had been destroyed but whose bloodline remained intact.
• Han Tao restrained Flender, extracted his blood, and gave him medicinal materials and instructions for replenishing his blood before arranging to return monthly.
• Ye Lingling mixed blood from Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Yu Tianheng, producing a weak Golden Saint Dragon Bloodline with poor concentration and fusion compatibility.
• Han Tao and Ye Lingling concluded that Yu Xiaogang’s strong Light Aura and his Soul Ring choices had prevented his Martial Soul from evolving into the Golden Saint Dragon or another powerful light-type Martial Soul.

Han Tao and Ye Lingling discussed the dangers of absorbing Golden Saint Dragon Blood and planned ways to strengthen her abilities so she could safely absorb powerful bloodlines. Tang Hao then dragged Tang San to Seven Treasure Academy to meet Han Tao.

• Ye Lingling explained that Golden Saint Dragon Blood could only be absorbed safely by Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members with treatment, and that her current healing strength was insufficient.
• Han Tao gave Ye Lingling the Mysterious Heaven Skill and explained that Tang San had survived absorbing a foreign bloodline through its microscopic treatment effects.
• Ye Lingling proposed strengthening her healing with her next Soul Ring, but Han Tao recommended purification, blood replenishment, and using the Distraction Control Method—Cluster Convergence.
• Ye Lingling recognized that her Mind Focus Soul Skill suited the method, while Han Tao admitted Rongrong might be angry that he had shared the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's secret technique.
• Tang Hao forcibly brought Tang San to Seven Treasure Academy, where Han Tao asked the Clear Sky Douluo what he wanted.

Han Tao examined Tang San’s damaged Blue Silver Grass and demanded two referrals to Slaughter City as payment, but Tang Hao refused after Tang San rejected Han Tao’s proposed treatment. Tang Hao left with Tang San, determined to take him to the Blue Silver King.

• Tang Hao brought Tang San to Han Tao and asked him to assess Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
• Han Tao demanded two referral slots to Slaughter City, and Tang Hao agreed after Han Tao explained he only wanted to visit.
• Han Tao found that Tang San’s chosen toxins were worsening the damage and advised stripping them away, but Tang San refused to discard Yu Xiaogang’s method.
• Tang Hao reneged on the referral slots because Han Tao had not healed Tang San’s Martial Soul, and Tang San called Han Tao useless.
• Tang Hao left with Tang San and promised that they would visit the Blue Silver King to restore his Blue Silver Grass.

Tang Hao brought Tang San to the Blue Silver King, hoping to awaken Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, but learned that Yu Xiaogang’s interference had ruined that possibility. Tang San chose to strip away his soul rings to purge the toxins in his Blue Silver Grass, leaving his martial soul recovering and his Soul Power at Level 36.

• Tang Hao told Tang San that his Blue Silver Grass was a top-grade martial soul and brought him to find the Blue Silver King.
• The Blue Silver King rejected Tang Hao’s request to awaken Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, revealing that Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass had been neglected and his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had been overtaken by the Clear Sky Hammer bloodline.
• Tang San defended Yu Xiaogang, while Tang Hao asked how much of Han Tao’s claims he believed; Tang San judged them seventy percent credible.
• Tang Hao asked the Blue Silver King to remove the toxins in Tang San’s martial soul, and Tang San agreed to strip away his three soul rings.
• The Blue Silver King drew Tang San’s three soul rings into its own grass, purged the toxins, and caused Tang San’s Soul Power to fall to Level 36 as his Blue Silver Grass began to regain its green color.

Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to imitate Han Tao’s successful Martial Soul evolution by choosing healing, bamboo, and toxin-related Soul Rings. Tang San accepted his teacher’s plan despite fearing another toxin mishap, and Yu Xiaogang sent him to hunt with Liu Erlong.

• Yu Xiaogang apologized to Tang San for his flawed Bloodline theory and asked him to trust his guidance again.
• Yu Xiaogang argued that Shrek Academy should learn from Han Tao and proposed a Thousand Year Begonia Flower as Tang San’s first Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang proposed a Solitary Bamboo Soul Ring for Tang San’s second ring and an animal-type ring instead of Han Tao’s perception-based Blue Silver Eye for the third.
• Yu Xiaogang recommended a Jade Phosphorous Serpent for Tang San’s fourth Soul Ring, but Tang San worried that toxins would damage his Blue Silver Grass again.
• Yu Xiaogang persuaded Tang San to trust his Mixed Toxins theory and told him to have Liu Erlong take him Soul Ring hunting.

After Shrek Team lost to Star Luo Royal Team, Qin Ming defended his betrayal of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Yu Xiaogang used the dispute to promote his Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion theory. He offered to mentor Seven Treasure Academy and promised Han Tao’s team the competition championship.

• Qin Ming told Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan that he did not regret replacing Heaven Dou Royal Team’s competitors because he owed Shrek Academy for nurturing him.
• Yu Xiaogang defended Qin Ming’s leadership and claimed his strategic knowledge came from Shrek Academy and Yu Xiaogang’s instruction.
• Yu Xiaogang explained Shrek’s loss to Skywater Academy by citing its Ice and Snow Dance Martial Soul Fusion Skill and Shrek’s inability to use his Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Meng Shenji challenged Yu Xiaogang, and Han Tao recognized that Yu Xiaogang’s theory lacked the Soul Power Frequency knowledge and Distraction Control Method needed to work.
• Yu Xiaogang invoked his connection to Yu Yuanzhen to stop Meng Shenji, then asked Han Tao to let him mentor Seven Treasure Academy in exchange for his Seven-in-One theory.

Han Tao negotiated with Yu Xiaogang, offering a chance to restore his reputation in exchange for monthly blood donations and help securing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Bloodline Tracing secret method. Yu Xiaogang accepted, setting up a deal that would also trade the clan the Purple Demon Eyes and potentially bring him to the Clear Sky Sect as a mentor.

• Yu Xiaogang sought to restore his reputation by becoming the mentor of the championship team, while Han Tao rejected his claim that the Seven Treasure Team needed his expertise.
• Han Tao told Yu Xiaogang that showing the Multiple Entity Martial Soul Fusion Skill during the competition could clear his name, but refused to make him the team’s mentor.
• Han Tao demanded that Yu Xiaogang visit Ye Lingling monthly to store some of his blood, and promised him fame if the Seven Treasure Team won the championship.
• Han Tao suggested Yu Xiaogang trade the Purple Demon Eyes to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for its Bloodline Tracing secret method, which could help him approach the Clear Sky Sect.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to the deal, with Han Tao expecting to gain the fusion-skill theory, the bloodline method, and Golden Saint Dragon blood while the clan obtained the Purple Demon Eyes.

Tang San returned to Shrek Academy boasting of his rare Soul Rings and new Blue Silver Cage, while Yu Xiaogang praised his theories. Zhu Zhuqing challenged Tang San for breaking his promise to spare a Soul Beast’s son, and Yu Xiaogang warned her to stay silent.

• Tang San showed Yu Xiaogang his second Soul Ring, a thousand-year Solitary Bamboo, and Yu Xiaogang claimed it would let him surpass Han Tao.
• Tang San revealed that he had become a Soul Ancestor after forcing the thirty-thousand-year Jade Phosphor Snake King to sacrifice itself, then used its son’s Soul Ring as his fourth.
• Tang San explained that his two Jade Phosphor Snake Soul Rings combined to create Blue Silver Cage, which Yu Xiaogang praised as proof of his theories.
• Zhu Zhuqing pointed out that Tang San had promised not to harm the Snake King’s son, but Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Yu Xiaogang dismissed her objection.
• Yu Xiaogang threatened Zhu Zhuqing with punishment if she challenged him again.

The Seven Treasure Academy faced Martial Soul Hall Academy in the finals, where Han Tao used illusions and Ning Rongrong’s aerial buffing to turn the fight against the Golden Generation. After the battle exposed the Flame Lord’s dual fire-and-earth attributes, Han Tao realized Liu Erlong’s bloodline might let him create a complete Golden Saint Dragon bloodline.

• Han Tao suspected Martial Soul Hall had recruited Ning Tian and possibly Ning Rongrong before the final began.
• Hu Liena and Xie Yue released their Bewitching Charm fusion skill, and Han Tao countered the fog with a poisonous barrier and an illusion that let his teammates see the battlefield.
• Ning Rongrong rose above the arena and used her Real-Time Buff to weaken Martial Soul Hall’s fighters, while the opposing team focused its attacks on Yang Qixin.
• Yang Qixin was knocked off the platform, and Ning Tian jumped out to avoid Yan’s Magma Surge; Han Tao then removed four weakened opponents from the arena.
• Han Tao studied Yan’s Flame Lord Martial Soul and realized that Liu Erlong’s Fire Dragon bloodline could help him form a complete Golden Saint Dragon bloodline.

Han Tao used a brief martial soul fusion with Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling to manifest Blue Silver, a collective, God-level form of the Blue Silver martial soul. After the fusion ended, he reflected on its potential and on new discoveries about soul rings.

• Han Tao considered how Beast-Weapon Integration could produce stronger martial souls, then turned his attention to the battle between Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and the Seven Treasure Team.
• Han Tao cast an illusion to keep the Golden Generation from interfering while Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling joined him in a martial soul fusion.
• Their three martial souls synchronized, transforming Blue Silver Grass into Blue Silver, which Han Tao recognized as a God-level martial soul encompassing the entire Blue Silver Clan.
• Han Tao sensed Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and noticed clues about combining soul skills and using soul rings as structural models to break through their age limits.
• Han Tao's immense soul power scattered the Golden Generation's Bewitching Charm and knocked them down, while Yu Xiaogang claimed credit for the fusion skill and Shen Xinshui objected.
• The fusion failed after a brief manifestation, and Han Tao studied what he had learned, concluding that Blue Silver's evolution required a shift from an individual martial soul to a collective one.

The Seven Treasure Team won the tournament, and Bibi Dong asked Ye Lingling to heal the injured Spirit Hall Team before the champions received their Soul Bone prizes. Han Tao explained the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull’s connection to the Sea God Inheritance, and Ye Lingling accepted it as the team considered who would claim the path it offered.

• Bibi Dong announced the Seven Treasure Team as champions and asked Ye Lingling to heal the injured Spirit Hall Team.
• Ning Rongrong collected the three Soul Bones, rejected the two ordinary ones, and Yang Qixin chose the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm.
• Yu Xiaogang praised Shrek Academy’s supposed unity while Tang San agreed and Dai Mubai privately considered the Soul Bones.
• Han Tao isolated Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling to explain that the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull could become the Sea God Head Bone when fused with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Ning Rongrong gave the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull to Ye Lingling, who accepted it and prepared to absorb it.

Han Tao reassured Ye Lingling about obtaining the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, then retrieved the Elder Token from Feng Xiaotian to awaken children’s Martial Souls in Bamboo Forest Village. He chose zero-soul-power Zhu Qi as his disciple and prepared to offer him two cultivation methods.

• Han Tao stopped Ning Rongrong from pushing Ye Lingling toward marriage with Xue Qinghe and advised Ye Lingling to study Bloodline Theory before worrying about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Han Tao borrowed the Elder Token from Feng Xiaotian, claiming he wanted to help children awaken their Martial Souls.
• At Bamboo Forest Village, Han Tao awakened the children and identified Zhu Qi, whose Lonely Bamboo Martial Soul had no Innate Soul Power.
• Han Tao rejected the chubby child with a Three Yang Bamboo Martial Soul after reading his resentful thoughts, then asked Zhu Qi to become his disciple.
• After Zhu Qi agreed, Han Tao presented Mysterious Heaven Skill and his Microscopic Treatment Diary as two choices.

Han Tao instructed Zhu Qi to cultivate with ten-year Solitary Bamboo soul rings while considering how a higher Bamboo Joint Structure could improve his own growth. He then sent Ning Tian to map Solitary Bamboo Soul Beasts and negotiated with Yu Xiaogang to have Tang San help hunt them, offering support for Yu Xiaogang’s ambitions in return.

• Han Tao explained the basics of martial souls and soul rings to Zhu Qi, then required him to absorb only ten-year Solitary Bamboo soul rings and warned that he would stop investing in him if he chose otherwise.
• Han Tao realized that Tang San’s thousand-year Solitary Bamboo soul ring might reveal a higher form of Bamboo Joint Structure, which he hoped to study and transfer to himself.
• Han Tao ordered Ning Tian to map ten-year Solitary Bamboo Soul Beasts near the Star Dou Great Forest, and she accepted after he threatened to involve Ning Rongrong.
• Han Tao went to Shrek Academy and restrained Tang San when he reacted aggressively, then invoked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s investment to get Yu Xiaogang to meet with him privately.
• Han Tao offered Yu Xiaogang help securing a theoretical position at the Clear Sky Sect in exchange for Tang San helping hunt ten-year Solitary Bamboo, with Sword Douluo escorting them.

Han Tao hired Tang San and Yu Xiaogang to hunt Ten Year Solitary Bamboos in hopes of obtaining a soul bone for his powerless disciple, but their search found nothing. As Han Tao left, Tang San killed a 99-year Solitary Bamboo on the verge of breaking through and it dropped a Left Arm Bone, which Tang San and Yu Xiaogang decided to keep.

• Han Tao explained his plan to give a soul-bone set to his powerless disciple and recruited Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to hunt Ten Year Solitary Bamboos, insisting any dropped soul bone belonged to him.
• At Han Tao's marked locations in the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San killed more than thirty Solitary Bamboos, but none dropped a soul bone, and Yu Xiaogang mocked Han Tao's theory.
• Han Tao ended the hunt and left the forest with Sword Douluo while Tang San and Yu Xiaogang laughed at him.
• On their way back, Tang San killed a 99-year Solitary Bamboo near its breakthrough, and it dropped a Left Arm Bone classified as a Hundred Year Soul Bone.
• Tang San and Yu Xiaogang agreed to keep the soul bone, unaware that a tiny Blue Silver Grass Seed was hidden in Yu Xiaogang's sleeve.
