Chapter Summaries

Ning Rongrong gave Ye Lingling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Distraction Control Method—Sixth Layer, explaining that it would support her research into racial talents. She then guided Chen Xin and Gu Rong through aligning their Soul Power Frequencies, allowing them to successfully perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• Ning Rongrong gave Ye Lingling the Sect’s Distraction Control Method—Sixth Layer, and Han Tao urged her to inform Ning Fengzhi.
• Ning Fengzhi learned that Rongrong had shared the Secret Method, but Gu Rong and Chen Xin supported letting her make her own decisions.
• Ning Rongrong and Han Tao explained that the Secret Method would help their research into racial talent and microscopic structures.
• Ning Rongrong explained how Chen Xin and Gu Rong could align their Soul Power Frequencies to achieve a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Chen Xin and Gu Rong followed her instructions and successfully fused their powers, while Ning Rongrong used Reverse Frequency theory to contain the resulting force.

Ning Rongrong used Reverse Frequency through a Martial Soul Fusion with Han Tao to neutralize Sword Bone Douluo's fused attack, while Han Tao and Ye Lingling explored how Blue Silver Grass might evolve as a Cluster Martial Soul. They set aside the still-incomprehensible macroscopic structure and turned toward studying Plant Soul Beasts for useful evolutionary references, with Han Tao deciding to visit the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

• Ning Rongrong and Han Tao fused their three Ultimate Martial Souls and used Reverse Frequency to erase the soul power sustaining Chen Xin and Gu Rong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Gu Rong left the discussion, while Chen Xin explained that activating the Seven Kill Domain would make him immune to Reverse Frequency's annihilation.
• Han Tao and Ye Lingling discussed whether Blue Silver Grass's evolution depended on racial energy and a macroscopic Cluster Martial Soul structure.
• Ning Rongrong proposed that a Cluster Martial Soul could develop its own structure beyond the individual level, and Han Tao confirmed that such a structure existed but remained beyond their understanding.
• Han Tao, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling set aside research into macroscopic structure and considered Plant Soul Beasts as references for Martial Soul evolution.
• Han Tao thought of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and decided to visit him, valuing his existence even without seeking his Soul Ring or Soul Bone.

Han Tao and Ye Lingling studied how changing Soul Masters’ meridian routes could improve physical ability and talent, but their test subject Yang Shiqi died when hidden poison was activated. Yang Wudi revealed the poison’s origin, and Ye Lingling proposed optimizing meridian routes as a way to improve Cultivation Talent, leaving the group considering the experiment’s potential.

• Han Tao selected Yang Shiqi as a test subject, and Ye Lingling’s meridian reconstruction experiment ended with his death after activating toxins in his body.
• Han Tao suspected Yang Shiqi belonged to the Breaking Clan and sent a message to Clan Leader Yang while Ye Lingling explained differences between the meridian routes of Soul Masters from the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires.
• Ning Rongrong and Yang Wudi arrived, and Yang Wudi tried to restore Yang Shiqi’s body with medicine and identified the hidden toxin as Ten Thousand Purples and Thousands of Reds Poison.
• Yang Wudi said only he and his younger brother could make the poison and suspected his brother had poisoned Yang Shiqi.
• Ye Lingling proposed optimizing meridian routes to improve Soul Power transmission and Cultivation Talent, claiming her repeated adjustments to Yang Shiqi’s main meridians had all succeeded.

Han Tao, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong used their fused martial souls to optimize Ye Lingling’s Twelve Principal Meridians, improving soul-power transmission and physique at the cost of some cultivation talent. After Han Tao underwent the procedure successfully, the group discussed why Rongrong’s Immortal Herb toxicity prevented her from receiving it yet and considered how stronger physiques might overcome that limit.

• Han Tao, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong fused their martial souls so Ye Lingling could reconstruct her Twelve Principal Meridians.
• Ye Lingling completed the optimization, and Han Tao explained that it improved soul-power transmission and raised the physique talent ceiling while sacrificing some cultivation talent.
• Han Tao warned Rongrong that reconstructing her meridians could trigger the deadly toxicity of her blended Immortal Herbs, recalling Yang Shiqi’s death.
• The next day, Han Tao underwent the procedure successfully, while Rongrong learned she might receive the same benefits once her level and physique grew stronger.
• Han Tao and Rongrong discussed Dugu Bo’s Body Energy Transformation, and Han Tao connected the idea to Zhu Zhuqing’s Nether Force and her future potential.

• Ning Rongrong proposed cooperating with Spirit Hall to study the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and Han Tao gave her the Great Circulation Meditation Method while asking Ye Lingling to prepare a meridian diagram.
• Han Tao visited Bamboo Forest Village, where Zhu Qi had fused a Hundred Year Solitary Bamboo Soul Bone and reached rank ten without absorbing a soul ring.
• Han Tao took Zhu Qi into the Star Dou Great Forest, where they found a ten-year-old Solitary Bamboo for Zhu Qi's Origin Soul Ring.
• Han Tao sensed a hunting squad approaching and watched its leader and a seductive woman demand their Gold Soul Coins.
• A healing Soul Master in the squad recognized Han Tao and turned pale.

• Han Tao assessed the Hunting Squad’s Soul Power and told Zhu Qi to absorb the Solitary Bamboo soul ring while he handled them.
• The captain and a young man criticized Han Tao’s choice of soul ring and threatened him, prompting Han Tao to attack with his Fourth Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Poisonous Barrier.

• Han Tao trapped the Hunting Squad in separate illusions and poisoned the woman, while the captain failed to rise against the Blue Silver Grass restraining him.
• The healing Soul Master called out to Han Tao and produced a badge, claiming he had a keepsake from Han Tao’s sect.

He discovered that the hunter Hao Te had a Snow Soul Demon Bear Martial Soul and missing memories, then offered the Hunting Squad a chance to live if they handed over their Gold Soul Coins.

• Hao Te entered Martial Soul Possession and showed his three Soul Rings, while Han Tao wondered whether he was human or a Soul Beast.
• Han Tao offered to spare the Hunting Squad if they surrendered all their Gold Soul Coins, and used his Illusion Wisdom Head Soul Bone to assess their thoughts.

Han Tao defeated Bai Lingling’s poison attack and killed her, but the approaching Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu put him and Zhu Qi in danger. The chapter ended with Xiao Wu confronting Han Tao over Bai Lingling’s death.

• Bai Lingling spread poison toward Han Tao, but he reversed the sound and redirected the toxin onto the Hunting Squad’s captain.

• Bai Lingling died as the Titan Giant Ape approached, and Xiao Wu appeared on its shoulder and asked Han Tao whether he had killed her.

Han Tao offered Hao Te an antidote in exchange for searching the north for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then fought Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest. He disabled Xiao Wu’s Soul Power and left the Titan Giant Ape confused by his illusions, while Zhuang Yuan was caught in the fight.

• Han Tao used Soul Power Annihilation to disable Xiao Wu’s Soul Power and skills, while Er Ming covered its eyes inside the illusion.

Han Tao used illusions and sound isolation to thwart the Titan Giant Ape, while Xiao Wu defended her demand for justice over Bai Lingling. He left with Zhu Qi and gave Hao Te a deposit for investigating the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

• The Titan Giant Ape believed it had killed Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu revealed herself and reassured Er Ming that she was alive.
• Han Tao warned Xiao Wu and Er Ming, then used overlapping illusions and sound isolation to confound Er Ming when it attacked.
• Xiao Wu demanded that Han Tao answer for Bai Lingling's death, but Han Tao challenged her for ignoring the Hunting Squad members poisoned because of Bai Lingling.
• Han Tao stopped arguing, took Zhu Qi, and left while Xiao Wu and Er Ming remained behind.

• Han Tao explained to Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong that a transformed Soul Beast could possess extraordinary talent, and Ning Rongrong urged them to capture Xiao Wu.

Bibi Dong decided to keep Han Tao uninformed about Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Plan and treat him as an enemy if they met. Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Liu Erlong learned that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been wiped out and blamed Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Bibi Dong heard Chrysanthemum Douluo’s doubts about Han Tao’s loyalty and ordered that the Soul Hunting Plan be kept from him.
• Yu Xiaogang and Tang San heard that all seventy-two members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been killed.

• Tang San claimed Ning Fengzhi’s Distraction Control Method had caused his Mental Power to weaken, though his Purple Demon Eyes helped him recover some each day.

Ning Rongrong used her strategic insight to help Gu Rong and Chen Xin combine their powers, but Bibi Dong’s forces countered with the Yin-Yang Stillness Domain and attacked the sect. As Ning Rongrong evaded their assault through an illusion, a mysterious Martial Soul fusion began inside a house.

• Ning Rongrong proposed using Chen Xin’s Heaven-Reaching Earth-Penetrating Secret Method with Gu Rong to replenish the Soul Power drained by Bibi Dong’s Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
• Han Tao used his Illusion Wisdom Head Soul Bone to relay Ning Rongrong’s plan, and Gu Rong and Chen Xin formed the All Bones End, Heaven and Earth as One Breath Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• Ning Rongrong’s illusion made the attackers’ Soul Skills miss, and Blue Silver Grass, Nine Heart Begonia, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda began fusing inside a house.

Han Tao, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling used their martial soul fusion and microscopic control to withstand Bibi Dong’s attacks, though they struggled against her power. Rongrong then turned their amplified control against Spirit Hall’s reinforcements, leaving Pufferfish Douluo critically injured and Ghost Leopard Douluo shaken.

• Ning Rongrong explained that Zhu Zhuqing had traded the God of Speed’s inheritance for a perfectly fused Netherworld White Tiger Bloodline.

• Ning Fengzhi declared that Bibi Dong’s Undying Body made her nearly impossible to kill below Divine Level, while Chen Xin vowed revenge against Spirit Hall for attacking the Sect.
• The Sect mourned Zhao Wuji and other fallen fighters, and Han Tao stopped Yang Wudi from accusing Ye Lingling of failing to heal Zhao Wuji, explaining that Spirit Hall had targeted her.
• After Spirit Hall’s forces withdrew, Ye Lingling healed the wounded, and Yang Wudi prepared antidote potions from precious Medicinal Materials.
• Han Tao, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling concluded that Spirit Hall had lost because it misjudged Chen Xin and failed to anticipate their Martial Soul Fusion, and they discussed the disaster that would have followed if any of them had been absent.
• Han Tao predicted that Spirit Hall would study Microscopic Force, confirmed that Bibi Dong had accepted the Rakshasa God Trial, and refused Ye Lingling’s proposal to pursue Sea God inheritance because her healing abilities were more valuable.
• When Ning Rongrong asked how they could obtain a theory for Soul Bone Fusion, Han Tao said he already had some ideas.

Han Tao and Ning Fengzhi arranged to shelter Yu Tianheng and exchange his clan’s Dragon Transformation method for Feng Xiaotian’s research.

• Han Tao examined Feng Xiaotian’s Soul Power Synergy theory, demonstrated its movement technique, and explained that its principles could imitate many agility-type Soul Skills.

Han Tao traded Feng Xiaotian’s Soul Power Synergy research for the Dragon Transformation Secret Method and negotiated with Yu Tianheng for information about the True Dragon Nine Crowns. After learning that Yu Yuanzhen died from the Soul Bone Set’s backlash, Han Tao suspected the bones had forced an unsupported change in racial talent and asked whether Yu Tianheng had absorbed the Snow Crown.

• Han Tao exchanged the Dragon Transformation Secret Method with Feng Xiaotian for Soul Power Synergy research and urged Yu Tianheng to study the method as his clan’s inheritance.
• Han Tao asked Yu Tianheng about Soul Bone Fusion, then offered Golden Saint Dragon Bloodline in exchange for information about the True Dragon Nine Crowns.
• Yu Tianheng explained that his grandfather Yu Yuanzhen had absorbed the True Dragon Nine Crowns, reached a Demigod Physique, and died when the Soul Bone Set devoured his life force.
• Han Tao recorded Yu Tianheng’s account and theorized that the Soul Bone Set backlash came from an unsupported change in racial talent from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to Golden Saint Dragon.
• Han Tao asked Yu Tianheng whether he had already absorbed the Snow Crown soul bone.
