Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao helped Ning Tian discover that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could strengthen soul tools, then took her and Wu Feng into the Jingyang Mountain Range to search for suitable soul beasts. The chapter ended with a huge pack of Golden Wolves surrounding them as Huo Yuhao prepared to face the threat rather than flee.

• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection Sharing to help Ning Tian establish a soul power connection with a Soul Guidance Ray, allowing her to strengthen it with her soul skills.

• Wu Feng urged Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian to escape, but Huo Yuhao put away the vehicle and said the soul beasts were suited to them.

Huo Yuhao defeated a pack of golden wolves, claimed a new fifth soul skill, and helped Ning Tian obtain the Silvermoon Wolf King’s soul ring. He discovered that Mental Sensitivity could also become Mental Exile, trapping someone in an unnaturally prolonged moment, and tested it on Wu Feng.

• Huo Yuhao and the girls chose the black wolf as his target and the Silvermoon Wolf King as Ning Tian’s, then prepared to face the approaching pack.
• Ning Tian amplified Huo Yuhao, who revealed his hundred-thousand-year soul ring and attacked the wolves with his ice weapon, Cold Glint.

• Huo Yuhao used Mental Sensitivity on Wu Feng at three hundred times amplification, leaving her frozen in place for five minutes of perceived time and revealing the skill’s terrifying application as Mental Exile.

Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian discovered how her support abilities could enhance Soul Tools, leading Illustrious Virtue Hall to let her assist Xuan Ziwen in a Pseudo-Level 9 assessment. Xuan Ziwen successfully engraved a Level 9 Soul Tool core array, prompting Shrek and Illustrious Virtue Hall to reconsider the value of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and its support Soul Masters.

Xuan Ziwen’s breakthrough led the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to pursue cooperation with the Illustrious Virtue Hall, while Ning Tian was ordered to keep the deal secret from the academy. At a Sun Moon Academy combat assessment, Ji Juechen used his monthly challenge to target Huo Yuhao.

• Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo discussed using Support System Soul Masters to help Soul Engineers break through, while Jing Hongchen sent confidential letters to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

• At the assessment, Ji Juechen used his monthly challenge opportunity and pointed his sword toward Huo Yuhao, choosing him as his opponent.

Ji Juechen challenged Huo Yuhao to a match, and Huo Yuhao accepted after learning he could not refuse. Huo Yuhao defeated Ji Juechen by freezing and disarming him, but Ji Juechen vowed to keep seeking his instruction.

• Ji Juechen named Huo Yuhao as the opponent he wanted to challenge, and Lin Jiayi went to summon him.
• Huo Yuhao recalled that Ji Juechen had marked him as a future opponent, while Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen warned that Ji Juechen would relentlessly pursue anyone he challenged.
• Lin Jiayi told Huo Yuhao that Jing Hongchen had ordered him to accept Ji Juechen's challenge, so Huo Yuhao entered the arena.

Huo Yuhao agreed to help He Caitou take revenge and become Sun Moon Emperor, but sensed that He Caitou had briefly intended to kill him. Later, Huo Yuhao followed Ghost Nana from the academy and confronted her outside a building in Mingdu, accusing her of having ties to the Holy Spirit Cult.

• Huo Yuhao watched Nana defeat a sixth-year Soul Engineer and recognized that she had used Soul Power, which he suspected linked her to the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Huo Yuhao reasoned that the Holy Spirit Cult might fund itself through a large chamber of commerce and decided to investigate Mingdu's trading organizations.
• He Caitou asked Huo Yuhao to help him avenge his family and promised to become Sun Moon Emperor; Huo Yuhao agreed, while privately considering him a potential puppet ruler.
• After He Caitou left, Huo Yuhao realized that he had briefly emitted killing intent and feared their former friendship had broken beyond repair.
• Huo Yuhao followed Nana from the academy to a building in Mingdu, where she put on a hood and veiled bamboo hat before he knocked it away and accused her of connections to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Huo Yuhao captured Nana, learned that the Holy Spirit Cult had forced her to serve by imprisoning her parents’ souls, and brought her to infiltrate its branch altar. He entered the underground hall disguised as the Holy Son and struck down the Second Holy Spirit, leaving the First Holy Spirit and the elder facing him.

• Huo Yuhao defeated Nana’s Ghost-based defenses and used a soul contract to question her about the Holy Spirit Cult’s branch altar.
• Nana told Huo Yuhao that the cult had killed her parents and imprisoned their souls to force her into service, and she asked him to rescue them.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to attack the branch altar and instructed Nana to help him enter without warning its core members.
• Nana used a secret signal to get Huo Yuhao past the courtyard guard, then claimed he was the Holy Son to the altar’s attendants.
• The attendants led Huo Yuhao and Nana underground to the First Holy Spirit, the Second Holy Spirit, and the elder.
• The Second Holy Spirit transformed into a skeleton and attacked, but Huo Yuhao extinguished its soul flames and scattered its bones.

Huo Yuhao infiltrated a Holy Spirit Cult branch altar by posing as its Holy Son, then killed its leaders and freed the souls imprisoned in their banner. After sending eight former Holy Servants to report the cult’s secrets to a Star Luo princess, he examined the Branch Altar Elder’s corpse and considered whether becoming undead could offer another path to eternal life.

• Huo Yuhao killed Second Holy Spirit and convinced the Branch Altar Elder and Great Holy Spirit that he was the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Son.
• Huo Yuhao questioned the branch altar leaders, learned that its members served the Myriad Souls Elder and that the cult’s businesses were controlled by the Deputy Cult Leader through the Xishui Alliance, but could not uncover the Main Altar’s location.
• Huo Yuhao shattered the Holy Spirit Banner, allowing its vengeful spirits to devour the Branch Altar Elder and Great Holy Spirit before he purified the freed souls.
• Nana and seven other former Holy Servants pledged to follow Huo Yuhao, and he sent them to the Star Luo capital with a letter and card for a princess.
• Huo Yuhao found that the Branch Altar Elder had been like a living corpse and wondered whether undead transformation could grant eternal life, while the Snow Empress explained that soul beasts faced death through heavenly tribulation.

Huo Yuhao explored the Undead Demiplane, learned from Electrolux about the limits of undead immortality, and decided to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult as its Holy Son. He accepted that destroying the cult from within might require him to sacrifice part of his conscience.

• Huo Yuhao surveyed the Undead Demiplane's undead inhabitants, while Electrolux explained that necromancers could still exhaust their life force and souls.

• Huo Yuhao told Electrolux he was prepared to give up some of his conscience to carry out his plan.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Academy, where Xuan Ziwen celebrated becoming a Level 9 Soul Engineer and Ning Tian prepared for the Illustrious Virtue Hall assessment. After Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan forced him into sparring, Huo Yuhao defeated both of them and learned that Jing Hongchen wanted him at the Illustrious Virtue Hall.

• Huo Yuhao returned to the academy and discussed his new spatial magic and Mental Sensitivity with the spirits in his mind.

• Huo Yuhao defeated Jing Ziyan, then disarmed Ji Juechen with Soul Shock and won their rematch.
• Jing Ziyan told Huo Yuhao that Jing Hongchen had summoned him to the Illustrious Virtue Hall.

After defeating Ji Juechen, Huo Yuhao realized his Body Martial Soul eyes needed protection and devised offensive and defensive Soul Goggles. At Illustrious Virtue Hall, he met Ning Yue, agreed to train Ning Tian in combat as a soul engineer, and learned of the Hall’s dangerous stockpile of Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells.

• Huo Yuhao reflected that Ji Juechen’s single-minded sword style was easy to counter, then recognized that sword intent could threaten his vulnerable eyes.
• Huo Yuhao decided to develop dual-use offensive and defensive Soul Goggles and borrowed Jing Hongchen’s helmet-type Soul Tool to study.
• Ning Yue introduced himself as Ning Tian’s elder cousin, tested Huo Yuhao’s amplification of soul tools, and asked him to train Ning Tian as a soul engineer; Huo Yuhao agreed.
• Jing Hongchen explained that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had sent five direct disciples to assist Illustrious Virtue Hall for three years in exchange for three Level 9 Soul Tools and half of the resulting production.
• Jing Hongchen revealed plans to multiply Illustrious Virtue Hall’s Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell reserves and admitted he intended to pass off duds to the sect.
• Huo Yuhao left with Jing Hongchen’s helmet and worried about the danger posed by the shells stored near the center of Mingdu.

Ning Tian became a formidable Level 5 Soul Engineer, while Huo Yuhao learned that Electrolux possessed a dangerous divination ability capable of affecting even gods. Xu Jiujiu received Huo Yuhao’s warning about the Holy Spirit Cult and prepared to alert the empire, as a mysterious godlike figure decided to stop Electrolux from contacting the Child of Fortune.

• Ning Tian defeated an opponent with her soul tools, and Huo Yuhao praised her progress as she planned a future for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on why Sun Moon Empire students relied on cultivation pills, then discussed his investigations into the Xishui Alliance and the power of undead magic with Electrolux.
• Electrolux revealed that Great Turtle Divination could bind mortals and gods with absolute certainty, but warned that its uncontrollable effects could sacrifice its caster; Huo Yuhao said he still wanted to learn it.
• Nana and her companions delivered Huo Yuhao’s letter to Xu Jiujiu, who learned that the Holy Spirit Cult had more than twenty Titled Douluo and was colluding with the Sun Moon Empire.
• Xu Jiujiu agreed with Nebula Douluo that the Star Luo Empire should unite with Douling, Tianhun, and Shrek Academy against the threat, then went to inform Imperial Brother.
• Wang Dong wondered why Support System Class Three students were being called to the Soul Tool Department and said he wanted to see Huo Yuhao, while a mysterious figure vowed to prevent Electrolux from contacting the Child of Fortune.

After a year at Sun Moon Academy, Huo Yuhao saw Ju Zi leave to assist the Crown Prince in pursuing revenge against the Star Luo Empire. Wang Dong arrived and invited Huo Yuhao to visit her home, the Clear Sky Sect, leaving him uneasy about what awaited him.

• Huo Yuhao tested his Frost Bone Dragon in the ice seal plane, where the Ice Empress subdued it and Electrolux warned that Huo Yuhao could not yet control or summon it into reality.
• Ju Zi told Ke Ke, Zi Mu, and Xuan Ziwen that she had passed her graduation assessment and was leaving Sun Moon Academy to assist the Crown Prince in the Imperial City.
• Huo Yuhao escorted Ju Zi to the academy gates, warned that her plan was unlikely to succeed, and exchanged grilled fish and oranges with her before she departed.
• After Ju Zi left, Huo Yuhao told the Ice Empress he would not let their friendship stop him from opposing Ju Zi if she stood in his way.
• Wang Dong arrived at Sun Moon Academy, questioned Huo Yuhao about Ju Zi, and invited him to visit her family at the Clear Sky Sect during the holiday.
• Huo Yuhao accepted Wang Dong's invitation, then felt an ominous premonition about the visit.

Wang Dong brought Huo Yuhao to the secluded Clear Sky Sect, where her Second Dad Tai Tan tested him with overwhelming spiritual pressure and the castle’s strange, hostile atmosphere made him uneasy. After Wang Dong was secretly put to sleep by her First Dad, a golden light reached Huo Qiu’er in Heaven Dou City, while Huo Yuhao realized he had walked into a trap and began planning how to face Tang San.

• Wang Dong led Huo Yuhao from Sun Moon Academy toward the Clear Sky Sect, explaining that her family had invited him and warning him not to reveal she was a girl.
• Wang Dong guided Huo Yuhao through the clouds to Clear Sky Castle, where Tai Tan subjected him to intense spiritual pressure before inviting them inside.
• Huo Yuhao sensed oppressive forces in the castle, learned Wang Dong had never met her parents, and grew wary of the sect’s unusual atmosphere.
• On the third floor, Wang Dong confronted her Second Dad, but her First Dad used Soul Power to make her lose consciousness, and a golden light shot from the Golden Trident on her forehead.
• Huo Qiu’er sensed the golden light in Heaven Dou City, took a Flying Soul Tool from Vina, and left the Body Sect’s training grounds.
• Alone in the cold jade room, Huo Yuhao struggled on the frost jade bed and recognized the invitation as a trap involving Tang San.

Huo Yuhao was trapped in the Cold Jade Room when the ten-thousand-year frost jade marrow triggered the sealed powers in his body and blocked his escape. Electrolux outwitted the Clear Sky Sect’s Guardian Spirit to help save him, and Huo Yuhao prepared to smash his way out as two powerful experts approached.

• Huo Yuhao suspected the Clear Sky Sect had invited him with ulterior motives, then an unexplained force knocked him onto the ten-thousand-year frost jade marrow and triggered the powers sealed inside him.
• Huo Yuhao found that the room’s spatial restrictions prevented him from using magic or retrieving items, so he activated Mental Exile and used his spiritual power to control the rampaging forces.
• Electrolux entered the Cold Jade Room and spoke with the Clear Sky Sect’s Guardian Spirit, who claimed Huo Yuhao’s own greed had caused his crisis.
• Electrolux pretended to sacrifice his remnant soul to save Huo Yuhao, then revealed he was burning the Guardian Spirit’s power instead and used it to suppress Huo Yuhao’s rampaging soul power.
• Huo Yuhao regained contact with Tian Meng and the others, learned that two powerful experts were approaching, and discovered that the divine sense still prevented him from using Space Magic.
• Huo Yuhao lifted the ten-thousand-year frost jade marrow bed and hurled it at the doorway, then prepared to break through the window with his left arm.

Huo Yuhao escaped the Clear Sky Sect after its leaders tried to seize him and eliminate Electrolux, the remnant soul within him. He and the Ice and Snow Empresses blasted Tai Tan with an ice explosion and entered the Ice Seal Plane, but Tai Tan forced his way into the closing Spatial Gate.

• Niu Tian and Tai Tan learned that a divine presence wanted Huo Yuhao captured or made to forget what had happened, and Tai Tan rushed to the Cold Jade Room.
• Huo Yuhao detonated the Ten-Thousand-Year Frost Jade Marrow bed to escape the destroyed room, while Electrolux revealed that a powerful being had been watching him and began eradicating its surveillance.
• Tai Tan pursued Huo Yuhao through the cloudmist and sent Warhawks after him, interrupting his attempt to finish the Spatial Magic Array.
• Huo Yuhao and the Ice and Snow Empresses froze the cloudmist and hundreds of Warhawks, then detonated the ice crystals around Tai Tan in a powerful attack.
• Huo Yuhao and the Ice and Snow Empresses entered the Ice Seal Plane, but Tai Tan's giant ape form jammed the Spatial Gate before it could close.

Huo Yuhao escaped Tai Tan’s attack and learned from Electrolux that a divine sense tied to Wang Dong had been watching them, possibly targeting Electrolux. After waking in the Ice Seal Plane, Huo Yuhao suspected the god behind it was connected to the Clear Sky Sect and ended the chapter recalling a dream about his father and why he could not become a god.

• Tai Tan forced his way into the Ice Seal Plane, but Huo Yuhao, the Ice and Snow Empresses, the Frost Bone Dragon, and the Warhawks drove him back and shut the Spatial Gate.
• Tai Tan returned to Clear Sky Castle, where Niu Tian told him that Wang Dong’s father would make her forget the incident and that they should repair the castle.
• A blue-haired girl watched the Clear Sky Sect from a Warhawk King, while Huo Yuhao slept in the Ice Seal Plane.
• Electrolux told Huo Yuhao that a divine sense had watched him and his companions, resided within Wang Dong, and had targeted Electrolux; Huo Yuhao suspected the god was Tang San.
• Huo Yuhao recalled a dream in which Dai Hao told him he could become the White Tiger Duke but not a god, because even a god had his own son.

After recovering in the Ice Seal Plane, Huo Yuhao devised a plan to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult and lure its leaders into the Undead Demiplane. He left to begin his mission, determined to confront the unseen watcher when he grew strong enough.

• Huo Yuhao learned that his soul power had risen to rank fifty-six and discussed trapping enemies in the Ice Seal Plane or Undead Demiplane.
• Huo Yuhao proposed luring the Holy Spirit Cult's leaders into the Undead Demiplane and imprisoning them, but Electrolux warned that Evil Soul Masters could grow stronger there and escape using spatial power.
• Huo Yuhao said he would use the demiplane as an execution ground, entering it to eliminate the Evil Soul Masters before any could become powerful enough to escape.
• Electrolux suggested that absorbing the Holy Spirit Cult's soul power could rapidly strengthen Huo Yuhao and help the Snow Empress achieve godhood, while privately concealing his true theory about a slaughter-related law.
• Electrolux entered a brief slumber, and Huo Yuhao left the Ice Seal Plane to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult as its Holy Son.
• Huo Yuhao sensed the unseen watcher, addressed it with a mocking greeting, and vowed to find it himself.

Huo Yuhao abandoned his plan to trap the Holy Spirit Cult and decided to use Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells to destroy it. After learning that Jing Hongchen had arranged a fifty-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant for his future sixth Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao considered how to use Illustrious Virtue Hall’s weapons against the cult.

• Huo Yuhao realized that Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells could let him eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult’s strongest members without first trapping them.
• Wang Dong woke refreshed from a vivid but forgotten dream, asked about Huo Yuhao, and accepted Niu Tian’s claim that her roommate was not at Clear Sky Castle.
• Huo Yuhao asked Jing Hongchen about the Xishui Alliance, and Jing warned him to avoid the dangerous underground organization linked to the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Jing Hongchen offered Myriad Souls Douluo two high-level Defensive Soul Tools in exchange for a fifty-thousand-year-old mental-attribute Evil Eye Tyrant for Huo Yuhao’s sixth Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao eavesdropped on the deal and decided that Illustrious Virtue Hall’s Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells could make destroying the Holy Spirit Cult easier.
