Chapter Summaries

Han Tao abandoned his attempt to claim the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord’s soul ring and instead hunted a ninety-nine-thousand-six-hundred-year Evil Eye Tyrant. He gained an External Soul Bone and a sixth Soul Skill that transformed his Blue Silver Grass, bringing it closer to an Ultimate Martial Soul.

• Han Tao admitted that the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord was too dangerous and chose to target an Evil Eye Tyrant close to one hundred thousand years old instead.
• Sword Douluo found a ninety-nine-thousand-six-hundred-year Evil Eye Tyrant, and Han Tao killed it after Sword Douluo weakened it.
• With Ning Fengzhi enhancing his Mental Power, Han Tao claimed an External Soul Bone that formed as a purple eye on his forehead.
• Han Tao chose Blue Silver Tentacles rather than Mental Shockwave, and the skill let his Blue Silver Grass transmit Mental Power and form contracts with other Blue Silver Grass.
• Han Tao recognized that his transformed Blue Silver Grass had entered a new stage and moved closer to becoming an Ultimate Martial Soul.

Han Tao defended his Blue Silver Grass Soul Skill before the Star Luo Emperor, who doubted its strength and arranged a test against Dai Weisi. Han Tao used Reverse Wave Frequency to prevent the palace’s Soul Masters below Soul Douluo from mobilizing their soul power, then asked whether the emperor was satisfied.

• Xu Tianhui questioned Han Tao’s choice of Blue Silver Tentacles, and Han Tao argued that it enhanced his martial soul despite its ugly appearance.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that Han Tao had chosen his own soul rings and that the Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring System was Han Tao’s path to develop.
• Xu Tianhui recounted how Yu Xiaogang had lost a duel to Dai Weisi and how Tang San had failed to ambush Dai Weisi with a Peacock Plume.
• Xu Tianhui challenged Han Tao to prove his Blue Silver Grass’s strength by fighting Dai Weisi, and Han Tao accepted.
• Han Tao spread his Mental Power through the palace and used Reverse Wave Frequency to disable the soul power of all Soul Masters below Soul Douluo, including Dai Weisi.

Han Tao fought the Star Luo Emperor to demonstrate how his Blue Silver Grass could produce an External Soul Bone, then badly injured him with Same Frequency Vibration. Han Tao kept the emperor alive with healing while Dai Weisi showed little concern for his father and was urged to focus on cultivation instead of rushing to claim the throne.

• The Star Luo Emperor revealed that he had challenged Han Tao to experience his Blue Silver Grass and learn how External Soul Bones could be produced.
• Han Tao agreed to fight the emperor, who received eight amplification Soul Skills from Ning Fengzhi and activated his White Tiger abilities.
• Han Tao synchronized vibrations through the Star Luo Emperor’s body, grievously damaging his organs and bones despite his defenses.
• Ning Fengzhi called for the empress to use Martial Soul Fusion, while Han Tao used Firefly Light to protect the emperor’s heart meridians.
• Dai Weisi suggested letting his father die so he could inherit the throne, but Han Tao urged him to leave governing to the emperor and focus on cultivation.

Han Tao traded Star Luo Empire the theory behind soul-bone formation in exchange for Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuxuan’s help cultivating Solitary Bamboo at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He hoped the plant might provide a path to further growth, while reflecting that he could not perceive Fortune’s flow but might still exploit its rules.

• Zhu Zhuxuan healed the wounded Star Luo Emperor, who then struck Dai Weisi for challenging him and questioned Han Tao about his Blue Silver Grass’s power.
• Dai Weisi asked whether learning Han Tao’s theory could make him strong enough to defeat his father, but Xu Tianhui pointed out that Han Tao had no reason to give away his hard-won knowledge.
• The Star Luo Emperor asked Ning Fengzhi for the method of obtaining External Soul Bones, and Han Tao agreed to share the theory in exchange for Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuxuan carrying out a task.
• Han Tao explained how a soul beast’s breakthrough, a powerful soul master’s Mental Power, and a Titled Douluo’s guidance could affect soul-bone formation, while Xu Tianhui recorded his words.
• The Star Luo Emperor ordered Dai Weisi to deliver a command to Zhu Zhuqing, and Han Tao later explained that he wanted her and Zhu Zhuxuan to help cultivate Solitary Bamboo at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Han Tao considered using the rules of Fortune to advance Solitary Bamboo, since even his transformed Blue Silver Grass could not perceive Fortune’s flow.

Han Tao confronted Yu Xiaogang over Shrek Academy’s harmful training and fought Liu Erlong, using the clash to analyze how soul-master physiques developed. He concluded that Soul Rings did not strengthen physique and began considering how research could overcome the gaps in racial talent and bloodline.

• Han Tao and Dai Weisi arrived at Shrek Academy and saw Yu Xiaogang forcing its students to run exhausting laps without treatment support.
• Han Tao warned that the training was causing hidden injuries, then accused Yu Xiaogang of misleading students and hurled him into the academy gates.
• Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Li Yusong, and Liu Erlong confronted Han Tao, while Dai Weisi laughed at the escalating conflict.
• Liu Erlong attacked Han Tao, and he used Microscopic Control to block her after his Reverse Frequency extinguished the Soul Power sustaining her Martial Soul Avatar.
• Han Tao’s calculations showed that Liu Erlong had 361 physique points, Soul Rings did not affect physique, and Soul Bones could strengthen it except for Head Soul Bones.
• Han Tao recorded his own physique breakdown and resolved that research into Bloodline Tempering and Racial Talent might let him overcome his disadvantages.

Han Tao defeated Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, then watched Flender seize control of Shrek Academy and sell Zhu Zhuqing’s release for two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. Han Tao paid Flender and offered him a path to grow stronger, while Zhu Zhuqing was left uncertain about her fate.

• Han Tao used Reverse Frequency to disable Liu Erlong’s Martial Soul and struck her down, then knocked Yu Xiaogang aside when he threatened him.
• Dai Weisi presented the Star Luo Empire’s command and a deal involving Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuxuan, while Han Tao insisted the arrangement was a fair transaction.
• Flender emerged from the ruined house and demanded two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to release Zhu Zhuqing, provoking arguments among the Shrek students.
• Flender accused Yu Xiaogang of taking Shrek Academy from him, kicked him down, and declared that he was reclaiming the academy.
• Han Tao agreed to pay Flender and gave him a silver card, then suggested Flender seek Ye Lingling at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to become stronger.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked what would happen to her after Flender’s deal determined the direction of her fate.

Han Tao brought Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuxuan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate Solitary Bamboo and obtain its Soul Bone. As they discussed theory and Han Tao’s past actions in the Star Luo Empire, he discovered that the grass growing nearby was Blue Silver Emperor.

• Han Tao explained that Zhu Zhuqing’s Fortune made her the right person to hunt a Solitary Bamboo just before it reached a hundred years old, and he planted one in the inner layer of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Han Tao told Zhu Zhuqing that the Solitary Bamboo Soul Bone could greatly increase a soul master’s physique, and explained that he planned to use Microscopic Structure Theory to gain its growth benefits as well.
• Zhu Zhuxuan defended the value of theory by saying Han Tao had used it to seal others’ Soul Power and heavily injure the Star Luo Emperor.
• Han Tao invited Zhu Zhuxuan to research theory and exchange any resulting discoveries for knowledge of equal value.
• Han Tao noticed the grass beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well carried the bloodline pressure of a Blue Silver Emperor.

Han Tao found Ye Junlan trapped in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after the Blue Silver Emperor concealed the exit, then confronted Ah Yin and demanded to learn how to awaken the Blue Silver Domain. Ah Yin attacked him with Bloodline Silence, but it barely affected him, and he decided to claim that ability as well.

• Han Tao used Blue Silver Eye to find Ye Junlan hiding underground, and she revealed that she had been unable to leave after reaching rank 80 without a Soul Ring.
• Han Tao discovered that soil had sealed the passage and concluded that the Blue Silver Emperor had trapped Ye Junlan there.
• Han Tao exposed Ah Yin as the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, and she asked about Tang Hao and Tang San.
• Han Tao refused Ye Junlan's demand to kill Ah Yin and instead asked her how the Blue Silver Domain could be born.
• Ah Yin refused to reveal the Blue Silver Domain and used Bloodline Silence against Han Tao, but his martial soul and most of his strength remained unaffected.
• Han Tao countered by silencing the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Power and resolved to obtain both the Blue Silver Domain and Bloodline Silence.

Han Tao broke Ah Yin’s disguise and learned that Tang San’s soul had been occupied by an outsider and his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline had been eroded. Ah Yin accepted that Tang San was no longer her son and revealed the Blue Silver Emperor’s evolution, prompting Han Tao to consider a Blue Silver Overlord as the path of spirit and will.

• Han Tao broke through Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Domain disguise, destroyed her entangling grass, and rejected Ye Junlan’s suggestion that he seize the Blue Silver Emperor’s rank.
• Han Tao told Ah Yin that Tang San had been possessed since birth, citing the Purple Demon Eyes and Tang San’s lack of the research needed to develop them.
• Han Tao revealed that Tang Hao’s blood had eroded Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and that Yu Xiaogang’s advice had led to Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul shattering.
• Ah Yin accepted that Tang San was not her son if his soul belonged to an outsider and his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline was gone, then explained the Blue Silver Emperor’s evolution and the Nine Leaf Blue Silver Grass.
• Han Tao compared the Evil Eye’s evolutionary path to Blue Silver Grass’s and proposed that the Blue Silver clan could have a Blue Silver Overlord representing the peak of spirit and will.

Han Tao and Ye Lingling discussed the Blue Silver Grass’s evolutionary essence and how a Soul Bone might grant Han Tao the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. The chapter ended with Han Tao asking how to activate his Soul Bone’s blood-producing ability.

• Han Tao questioned Ah Yin about the rare Nine Leaf Blue Silver Grass and learned that she knew little about Blue Silver Grass’s Martial Soul Essence.
• Ye Lingling explained that most Soul Beasts and Soul Masters had not studied Martial Soul Essence, while Han Tao had researched his own Martial Soul extensively.
• Ah Yin learned that Tang Hao had ambushed the Heaven Dou Empire’s crown prince while seeking a way to repair his meridians, and her disgust toward Tang San deepened.
• Ye Lingling explained that the Blue Silver King was the Blue Silver Emperor’s bloodline successor and that Blue Silver Grass could pass on knowledge through Spiritual Contracts.
• Ye Lingling proposed that Soul Bone hematopoietic ability could affect bloodline, but said it required activation; Han Tao asked how to activate it.

Han Tao learned how the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone’s bloodline ability could be activated and had Ah Yin trigger it, beginning Bloodline Tempering. Ye Lingling also learned that her family had inherited a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Bone that was once a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, leaving her hopeful it could be restored.

• Ye Lingling explained that a Soul Master’s transformed Mental Power or a Soul Beast’s sacrifice could activate a Soul Bone’s blood-producing ability, and Han Tao chose the sacrifice method.
• Han Tao told Ah Yin that the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had been marked by Spirit Hall and that Tang Hao might have cooperated with Bibi Dong, though he admitted the latter was only his deduction.
• Ah Yin activated the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone’s bloodline pollution ability in Han Tao, which began Bloodline Tempering and increased his physique data.
• Ye Lingling asked Ye Junlan about Nine Heart Begonia Soul Beasts, and Ye Junlan revealed that her family’s inherited soul bone had once come from a Hundred Thousand Year Nine Heart Begonia Soul Beast.
• Ye Lingling realized the degraded soul bone might regain its former power if its origin and Soul Power were replenished.

Han Tao found the Blue Silver King in the Star Dou Great Forest and used its Seven Leaf Blue Silver Grass structure to modify his own Martial Soul. His experiment succeeded, but it consumed more Blue Silver Origin and revealed that the Blue Silver Overlord could command the Blue Silver Clan’s collective consciousness.

• Han Tao refused the Blue Silver King's offer to help Ah Yin reach the hundred-thousand-year level, asking it to wait two years while she recovered at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Han Tao told the Blue Silver King he had come to study its Seven Leaf Blue Silver Grass and received its structure through their Spiritual Contract.
• Han Tao used his Head Soul Bone to modify his Martial Soul, keeping its roots, meridians, and Evil Eye Tentacles while reshaping its blades into seven leaves.
• Han Tao confirmed the modification succeeded, recorded how the Evil Eye Tentacles advanced his Blue Silver Grass along the Blue Silver Overlord evolutionary path, and worried that his Blue Silver Origin was insufficient.
• The Blue Silver King sensed a new pressure from Han Tao's Blue Silver Grass, and Han Tao explained that the Blue Silver Clan had a collective consciousness commanded by the Blue Silver Overlord.

Han Tao persuaded Blue Silver King to direct Blue Silver Grass toward specialized evolution, arguing that the clan’s progress outweighed the cost of failed experiments. After a year of accelerated growth at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he prepared to strengthen his third Soul Ring and asked Ah Yin about the structure of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

• Han Tao explained Blue Silver Grass’s four evolutionary veins and asked Blue Silver King to lead experiments in five basic adaptations and two additional resistances.
• Blue Silver King objected that the experiments would consume Blue Silver Origin and could sacrifice Blue Silver Grass, but Han Tao threatened to replace it and promised to reshape those that had already found a successful evolutionary vein.
• Han Tao gave Blue Silver King a batch of potted Blue Silver Grasses and transmitted the basic adaptations through Spiritual Contract, instructing it to report any new organizational structures.
• After a year at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Han Tao counted 164 Thousand Year Blue Silver Grasses and planned to use them to strengthen his third Soul Ring.
• Han Tao approached Ah Yin and asked whether she knew the structure of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring from having offered a sacrifice.

Han Tao pressured Ah Yin into revealing the structure of a 100,000-year soul ring, then used Blue Silver Origin to transform his third soul ring’s structure. Ah Yin proposed that he harvest Blue Silver Origin by eliminating Blue Silver Grass that failed during the population’s evolution.

• Han Tao threatened to hunt Tang Hao with the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall unless Ah Yin revealed the 100,000-year soul ring structure, so she told him and secured his promise not to use Bloodline Tracing.
• Han Tao used the origin of a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass and then twenty thousand-year Blue Silver Grasses to complete the 100,000-year soul ring structure in his third ring, which became a black ten-thousand-year ring.
• Han Tao recorded that Blue Silver Origin could change a soul ring’s structure and that a more perfect structure could absorb more origin and recover faster.
• Ah Yin suggested that Han Tao obtain Blue Silver Origin by killing Blue Silver Grass that failed while the population evolved, and he agreed that it was a good approach.

Han Tao chose to have the Blue Silver Clan investigate an evolution pathway that increased its ability to store and recover Origin energy. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he and Ye Lingling began testing how Golden Saint Dragon bloodline affected Flender’s physique.

• Ah Yin proposed that Han Tao direct the Blue Silver Clan to seek an evolution pathway that improved Blue Silver Origin carrying capacity and recovery, and Han Tao ordered the Blue Silver King to investigate it.
• Two days later, Flender visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and asked to meet Ye Lingling so he could forge a new path.
• Han Tao and Ye Lingling assessed Flender’s physique, while Ning Rongrong used her amplification to help confirm his baseline data.
• Han Tao gave Flender a vial of Golden Saint Dragon bloodline and warned him that absorbing it would cause severe pain.

Flender absorbed the Golden Saint Dragon Bloodline with little pain and gained a major increase in physical strength. Han Tao, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong discussed how bloodlines and soul bones might change a Soul Master’s Racial Talent, leaving Han Tao’s enhanced Mental Power and Rongrong’s theory about External Soul Bones unexplained.

• Ye Lingling healed Flender as he absorbed the Golden Saint Dragon Bloodline, while Ning Rongrong tested his pain tolerance with a Dragon Beard Needle and recounted her pranks.
• Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling measured Flender’s new Physique Attribute at 349, including a 53-point increase, and Ye Lingling attributed it to the bloodline’s near-Divine-Level tempering.
• Han Tao suggested that high-level bloodlines might raise the potential for Racial Talent training, and he and Ye Lingling discussed Wolf Thieves and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Dragon Transformation Secret Method.
• Ning Rongrong recalled that Tang San’s Eight Spider Lances had affected his data, and Han Tao proposed that an External Soul Bone could enhance physique.
• Han Tao’s Mental Power increased as Ning Rongrong suggested that External Soul Bones might also change a Soul Master’s Racial Talent.

Han Tao explained how Mental Power might guide the formation of External Soul Bones and gave Flender a secret method to improve his racial talent. He told Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling that sharing theories with many researchers benefited him most because every discovery was synchronized among the three of them.

• Han Tao confirmed that an External Soul Bone might improve racial talent and said the Star Luo Secret Realm still contained an Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, but the group set aside plans to hunt it.
• Han Tao explained that a Soul Master's Mental Power could guide Soul Bone formation, and Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling followed his reasoning about hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts and External Soul Bones.
• Han Tao gave Flender the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation secret method and advised him to keep it secret.
• Ning Rongrong asked why Han Tao freely shared his theories with outsiders, and he explained that many exchanges made him the greatest beneficiary.
• Han Tao revealed that each theory they acquired was synchronized to the other two, making their shared knowledge a process of growing stronger.

Ye Lingling revealed that her Nine Heart Begonia could carry bloodlines, prompting Han Tao to propose using his Martial Soul fusion theory to alter her Martial Soul. The group examined Nether Force and prepared bloodlines for her to study, but she could not separate the darkness from the Six-Winged Angel bloodline.

• Ye Lingling explained that the Nine Heart Begonia could carry bloodline power, and Han Tao recorded a theory for fusing Martial Soul bodies.
• Ning Rongrong described Nether Force and said her father had bought a Hell Spirit Cat to study it.
• Han Tao gave Ye Lingling bloodline samples from an Evil Eye White Tiger and a Hell Spirit Cat, which could potentially fuse into a God-level bloodline.
• Ning Rongrong asked about a third sample, and Han Tao revealed it came from a Six-Winged Angel.
• Ye Lingling found that the Six-Winged Angel bloodline contained hidden darkness but could not separate it, so Han Tao decided to focus on fusing the Hell White Tiger bloodline.

Han Tao, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong researched bloodline fusion, producing a Divine Level Hell White Tiger bloodline that did not improve Ye Lingling’s abilities. After realizing the Nine Heart Begonia’s healing essence could reshape bloodline and bodily structures, they began exploring whether it could optimize meridians and help Soul Masters evolve.

• Han Tao, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong tested bloodline ratios and Cat Eagle bloodline as a catalyst for fusing the Evil Eye White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat bloodlines.
• After half a month of experiments, Ye Lingling successfully produced a Divine Level Hell White Tiger bloodline and absorbed it into her Nine Heart Begonia.
• Ye Lingling found that the Hell White Tiger bloodline did not change her physique, Mental Power, or Soul Power, prompting Han Tao to suggest she did not yet understand her martial soul deeply enough.
• Ye Lingling realized the Nine Heart Begonia’s bloodline ability should serve its healing essence, and she absorbed Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda bloodline instead.
• Ye Lingling used her First Soul Skill, Treatment, to draw Immortal Herb toxins from Ning Rongrong’s blood and recognized that her microscopic control could reshape bloodlines.
• Ye Lingling proposed reconstructing meridians and optimizing muscle attachments to help Soul Masters evolve, while Han Tao considered the potential of improving meridian structures.

Han Tao, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong explored how the Nine Heart Begonia’s Cure Soul Power could reshape the body and improve a Soul Master’s physical traits. They identified the risks and limits of skeletal and meridian alterations, and Ning Rongrong suggested practicing on death row inmates.

• Ye Lingling used Cure Soul Power on a cat to alter its muscles and meridians while Han Tao discussed the exceptional physique of Wolf Thieves.
• Han Tao showed Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong a chained Wolf Thief and proposed using Cure Soul Power to optimize bodily structure.
• Ning Rongrong argued that changing the skeleton would prevent Soul Masters from absorbing Soul Bones, so Han Tao agreed that fundamental skeletal changes were impractical.
• Ye Lingling proposed studying beneficial variations in human skeletons, and Han Tao explained that body reconstruction required detailed knowledge of organs, circulation, hormones, and other systems.
• Ye Lingling compared umbrella-shaped capillary meridians with Tang San’s star-like distribution, and Han Tao warned that altering meridians required extreme care.
• Ning Rongrong suggested using Heaven Dou Empire death row inmates to practice meridian modifications.
