Zeng Tian confronted Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao, who mistook him for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and demanded a Storage Soul Tool in exchange for letting them go. After collecting the Mandala Snake he had killed, Zeng Tian decided to leave his cave and find a new home.

• After several more days of practice, Zeng Tian raised Ember to its maximum level, melting his test boulder and receiving the inherited memory of Flamethrower.
• Zeng Tian tested his new Flamethrower, found it far stronger than his other moves but costly to use, and decided to seek a stronger soul beast for battle.
• Zeng Tian left his cave and headed from the outer region toward the Mixed Zone, knowing that his powerful offense was offset by his lack of defensive and speed-boosting moves.

Zeng Tian reached a volcano in the Star Dou Great Forest, defeated the Fire Crocodile guarding its lower slopes, and evolved from Charmander into Charmeleon at the summit. He discovered that his flame had improved and learned Heat Wave, leaving him confident he could face most ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

• The Scarlet King considered examining and breeding Zeng Tian for his bloodline, then rushed off after hearing that the Auspicious Beast was causing trouble.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion escaped the Scarlet King’s watch and went to torment his clansmen, where she learned about Zeng Tian, a thousand-year-old soul beast who had defeated a ten-thousand-year Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Hound.

• The Scarlet King confronted the young Auspicious Beast about leaving and examined Zeng Tian, unable to identify what kind of Soul Beast he had mutated from.
• The Scarlet King decided to bring Zeng Tian to Di Tian for appraisal, and Zeng Tian introduced himself by his species name, Charmeleon, and his preferred name, Zeng Tian.

Zeng Tian healed his hidden injuries and swallowed the dragon scale fruit, while Miss Auspicious Beast and the Scarlet King watched to see what would happen.

• Miss Auspicious Beast complained that Di Tian had given Zeng Tian only one stalk of ten-thousand-year Dragon Blood Grass, so Di Tian also gave him a ten-thousand-year dragon scale fruit and permission to soak in the Lake of Life.
• The Scarlet King explained that many Soul Beasts carried some Dragon-type blood because dragons spread their bloodline widely, and he urged Zeng Tian to heal before eating the herbs.
• Zeng Tian soaked in the Lake of Life for fifteen minutes as its life energy repaired his hidden injuries and intensified the flame on his tail.
• Miss Auspicious Beast urged Zeng Tian to eat the herbs, and the Scarlet King advised him to start with the gentler dragon scale fruit.
• Zeng Tian swallowed the dragon scale fruit and grimaced at its terrible taste, prompting Miss Auspicious Beast to worry until the Scarlet King reassured her.

After the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit strengthened Zeng Tian but failed to awaken his dragon bloodline, he ate Di Tian’s Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass. The grass engulfed him in blood-red flames that the Scarlet King recognized as ultimate fire, leaving Zeng Tian in the midst of a major transformation.

• Zeng Tian ate the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit, gained nearly three levels, and improved his physical strength and flames, but did not awaken his dragon bloodline.

• Zeng Tian promised the Auspicious Beast he would take her to see the human world someday, then questioned whether keeping her isolated was wise given the dangers of the Douluo Continent.
