• At age six, Zhang Fei faced the martial soul awakening and innate soul power test that could determine his future as a soul master.

At the Crown Prince's Residence, six-year-old Zhang Fei awakened his martial soul under the supervision of Xue Qinghe and Snake Lance Douluo She Long. He manifested the Eighteen-Foot Snake Spear and a golden python phantom, leaving his second martial soul's nature unknown.

Zhang Fei awakened twin martial souls and innate full soul power, prompting Xue Qinghe and She Long to decide how to guide his development. Xue Qinghe kept him at the Crown Prince’s Residence, where he would cultivate the Golden Python first and receive personal instruction from She Long.

• Zhang Fei revealed the Eighteen-Foot Snake Spear and Golden Python as his twin martial souls, then tested at innate full soul power.
• Xue Qinghe reasoned that Zhang Fei’s martial soul had mutated and recognized him as a rare talent for Spirit Hall.

• Xue Qinghe chose the Golden Python for Zhang Fei to cultivate first, and She Long agreed to teach him personally.

Zhang Fei persuaded Xue Qinghe to let him use thousand-year whale rubber to strengthen his body before obtaining his first soul ring. After enduring its effects in an ice-filled tub, he emerged with a much-improved constitution, leaving She Long delighted by the results.

• Zhang Fei asked Xue Qinghe for thousand-year whale rubber, explaining that melting and swallowing it could strengthen his constitution and raise his soul-ring limit.
• Xue Qinghe agreed to let Zhang Fei try the method and ordered Porcupinefish Douluo to bring whale rubber, a stove, an iron bowl, a wooden tub, and ice.

• She Long beckoned Zhang Fei over to finish the Golden-Armored Dragon Lizard.

• She Long tested Zhang Fei's soul power and found that absorbing the eight-hundred-year ring had raised him to rank twelve.
• She Long smacked Zhang Fei for getting overconfident, announced he would train him properly back home, and started to take him away before Zhang Fei stopped him.

• Dugu Bo emerged from the poisonous mist, and Zhang Fei realized their meeting would likely end in a fight.

• Dugu Bo accepted the premise of a deal, and Zhang Fei demanded ownership of the treasure ground and Dugu Bo's agreement to do three future tasks.

• She Long carried Zhang Fei to the bottom of the crater, where they found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's opposing energies.
• The well's corrosive heat and cold hurt Zhang Fei until She Long shielded him with soul power.
