• Tang San, Xiao Wu, and their companions arrived at Moonlight Pavilion and greeted Tang Yuehua while waiting for Tang Tianlin.
• Tang San assured Ye Cixin that Tang Tianlin was well and would arrive after handling private matters.
• Tang Yuehua asked Tang San to introduce the two young women with him, and Tang San began by introducing Xiao Wu as a level forty-two Soul Ancestor.

Tang Yuehua welcomed Dugu Yan into the Clear Sky Sect after Tang San revealed that Dugu Bo and his granddaughter had joined, and she considered whether Dugu Yan might suit Tang Tianlin. Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng arrived at Begonia Medical Hall intending to seize its Nine Heart Begonia healers and met Ye Lingling.

• Xiao Wu greeted Tang Yuehua, who recognized Dugu Yan and asked after her grandfather, Dugu Bo.
• Tang San told Tang Yuehua that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had joined the Clear Sky Sect at Tang Tianlin's invitation.
• Dugu Yan confirmed her grandfather's loyalty to the Young Lord, and Tang Yuehua promised to arrange identity tokens and welcomed her as family.
• Tang San asked where Ye Lingling was, and Ye Cixin explained that Lingling was treating patients at Begonia Medical Hall.
• Yu Tianheng recalled how Dugu Bo had humiliated him and decided to capture the Nine Heart Begonia healers to improve his standing in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
• Yu Tianheng entered Begonia Medical Hall, saw the masked Ye Lingling, and introduced himself while boasting of his rank and martial soul.

Yu Tianheng threatened Ye Lingling and her clinic, but Tang Tianlin arrived and overpowered him. Tang Tianlin stripped Yu Tianheng’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul from his body.

• Yu Tianheng tried to persuade Ye Lingling to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, then threatened to shut down her clinic when she refused.
• Yu Tianheng’s attendants drove the waiting patients out and knocked an elderly woman to the floor.
• Ye Lingling warned Yu Tianheng that he would pay for what he had done, and Tang Tianlin arrived at the clinic.
• Tang Tianlin confronted Yu Tianheng, whose martial soul trembled under Tang Tianlin’s Dragon Might before Yu Tianheng fell to his knees.
• Tang Tianlin forcibly extracted Yu Tianheng’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and subdued it with his Dragon Might.

Tang Tianlin crippled Yu Tianheng after he threatened Ye Lingling, while Yu Xiaogang tried to take Ma Hongjun as his disciple at Shrek Academy. When Zhao Wuji returned and described the Titled Douluo who had defeated him, Yu Xiaogang recognized Tang Tianlin and was stunned by his strength.

• Tang Tianlin stripped Yu Tianheng of his Martial Soul Origin and Soul Power, then ordered the attendants to warn the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect not to provoke him again.
• Yu Xiaogang told Flender he had found a way to resolve Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire and asked to take Ma Hongjun as his disciple; Flender agreed to discuss it with him.
• Zhao Wuji returned to Shrek Academy with the students and told Flender that Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai had provoked a Titled Douluo during Oscar's Soul Hunting trip.
• Ma Hongjun admitted what had happened, and Zhao Wuji demanded that Flender reimburse the savings he had paid to appease the Titled Douluo.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Zhao Wuji to describe the Blue Silver Grass Soul Master and the Titled Douluo, then realized the latter was Tang Tianlin and recoiled in disbelief at his power.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender concluded that the mysterious man who defeated Zhao Wuji was probably a Soul King, then learned that Oscar’s third Soul Skill boosted three attributes but caused the user to lose reason. Two months later, Tang Tianlin began breaking the Golden Dragon King’s ninth seal after assimilating a remnant soul fragment.

• Yu Xiaogang recognized Zhao Wuji’s attacker as the Soul Elder he had fought six years earlier and estimated that the man could only have reached Soul King rank.
• Flender reasoned that the attacker had used a secret technique and a sneak attack rather than the strength of a Titled Douluo, and warned everyone not to provoke strangers.
• Oscar demonstrated his third Soul Skill, which created a sausage that increased strength and speed by forty percent and briefly made its user immune to pain, but also made the user lose reason and attack friend and foe alike.
• Tang Tianlin spent two months refining the Golden Dragon King Remnant Soul Fragment into his bloodline and prepared to break the ninth and tenth seals and form his fifth blood qi Soul Ring.
• Tang Tianlin struck the ninth seal with his blood qi, cracking it without breaking it.

Tang Tianlin shattered the ninth and tenth seals, releasing Golden Dragon King blood qi and golden-green energy that repaired his body and swept through the clearing. As the energy spread, Tang Yuehua’s Ruyi Ring evolved and her Soul Power rose to rank fifteen, while Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling’s Nine Heart Begonia Martial Souls began forming a tenth petal; Tang Tianlin’s fifth Blood Qi Soul Ring finally solidified.

• Tang Tianlin broke the ninth seal, and Child of Nature and Life Blessing repaired his body as he endured the berserk blood qi.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Tang Yuehua, Ye Cixin, and Ye Lingling gathered at the clearing to absorb the energy from Tang Tianlin’s breakthrough.
• Tang Tianlin shattered the ninth and tenth seals, released golden-green ripples, and sent Dragon Power and Life Energy across the clearing.
• Tang Yuehua’s Ruyi Ring transformed, and her Soul Power rose from rank ten to rank fifteen.
• Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling guided the energy into their Nine Heart Begonia Martial Souls as a tenth petal began to form.
• Tang Tianlin’s fifth Blood Qi Soul Ring became completely solid after a piercing dragon’s roar.

Tang Tianlin’s breakthrough sent a powerful aura across Heaven Dou City, alarming Xue Qinghe and prompting Yu Yuanzhen to investigate the clinic connected to Yu Tianheng’s injuries. Back at the Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Tianlin strengthened Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling’s evolving Nine Heart Begonias with his dragon blood, then noticed something about Tang Yuehua.

• Tang Tianlin released a crimson-gold aura that Xue Qinghe and his elders judged to belong to a powerful, unfamiliar expert near the Moonlight Pavilion.
• Xue Qinghe recalled the Pavilion’s influence and ordered that he would personally visit it.
• Sun Zhongping told Yu Yuanzhen that Yu Tianheng had survived but lost his meridians, dantian, and martial soul origin, so Yu Yuanzhen ordered an investigation into the clinic in Heaven Dou City.
• Tang Tianlin saw that Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling’s Nine Heart Begonias were developing faint tenth petals.
• Tang Tianlin fed each Nine Heart Begonia a drop of his dragon blood, accelerating the formation of their tenth petals.
• Tang Tianlin noticed Tang Yuehua as he looked over the cultivators at the Moonlight Pavilion.

Tang Tianlin helped Tang Yuehua awaken her Ruyi Ring and advance as a soul master, while Dugu Yan thanked him with a kiss and revealed her Eight Spider Lances might evolve further. As Ye Cixin and her daughter approached a tenth petal on their Nine Heart Begonia martial souls, dark clouds and lightning gathered over Moonlight Pavilion.

• Tang Tianlin infused Tang Yuehua's Ruyi Ring with dragon blood to strengthen her martial soul's foundation.
• Dugu Yan woke with her soul power at the peak of rank forty-three, kissed Tang Tianlin's cheek, and told him the Eight Spider Lances might evolve.
• Tang Yuehua awakened to find her Ruyi Ring transformed and realized she had become a rank-twenty soul master.
• Xiao Wu woke and joined Tang San in watching Ye Cixin and her daughter form a tenth petal on their Nine Heart Begonia martial souls.
• Dark clouds gathered over Moonlight Pavilion as purple-white lightning churned, and Tang Tianlin sensed that something was wrong.

Tang Tianlin shielded Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling from the tribulation lightning, tempering his body as their Nine Heart Begonias evolved and broke the Ye Family curse. As the mother and daughter celebrated, an urgent report reached the Asura God in the Divine Realm.

• Tang Tianlin stopped Tang San from rushing toward Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling, then raised a barrier to protect them from the first wave of tribulation lightning.
• Tang Tianlin expanded the barrier over Moonlight Pavilion and discovered that his Golden Dragon King bloodline could absorb and refine lightning.
• Tang Tianlin faced the later waves of lightning directly, allowing them to temper his body while Tang Yuehua reassured Tang San.
• The storm clouds dispersed, and Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonias formed their tenth petals, breaking the Ye Family curse.
• Ye Cixin embraced Ye Lingling, while Xiao Wu was reminded of her mother and Tang Tianlin noticed that he was the only one present with both parents alive.
• A law enforcement divine official entered the Enforcement Hall and urgently reported to the Asura God.

The Asura God discovered a mortal bearing the Golden Dragon King's power and suspected that Destruction, Life, and the Dragon God were trying to nurture a Creator God. In Heaven Dou City, Tang Tianlin began testing Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling in combat, and his barrier absorbed their coordinated opening attack.

• A Divine Official reported that the Golden Dragon King's presence had appeared in the lower realm alongside a trace of the Life God King's presence.
• The Asura God watched the enforcement recording of a golden-scaled man absorbing tribulation lightning and recognized several powers within him, including the Golden Dragon King's power and the Life God's blessing.
• The Asura God suspected the Dragon God's will had granted the power and concluded that Destruction, Life, and the Dragon God might be trying to create a Creator God.
• Tang Tianlin challenged Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling to last one incense stick against him while he suppressed his Soul Power and used no Soul Skills or Martial Soul.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan launched a coordinated three-pronged attack while Ye Lingling joined the group as their healer.
• Tang Tianlin's crimson-gold barrier caught and devoured the three attacks, prompting Tang San to warn everyone to fall back.

Tang Tianlin defeated Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling in less than forty seconds, then criticized their performance. He left them healed but disappointed in their lack of sound decisions and determination to win.

• Ye Lingling used Begonia Redemption to heal Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan and restore their soul power, but Tang Tianlin knocked her unconscious before she could help them further.
• Tang Tianlin evaded Tang San's warning and struck Dugu Yan unconscious after brushing aside her Eight Spider Lances.
• Tang San told Xiao Wu to retreat and attacked Tang Tianlin with hidden weapons, but Tang Tianlin caught up with Xiao Wu and knocked her down.
• Tang Tianlin charged through Tang San's blue silver grass and knocked him into a tree, leaving all four teammates defeated in under forty seconds.
• Tang Tianlin asked Ye Cixin to treat the four, then told them their decisions had been wrong and that they had lost their determination to win from the start.

Tang Tianlin criticized Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling for fighting without a plan, then refused to give them another chance to spar. At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang assigned the students a burdensome run and offered to treat Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire, with Flender urging him to listen.

• Tang Tianlin questioned Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan about their strongest Soul Skills and told the group their reckless attack had ignored their support member’s safety.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling asked to fight Tang Tianlin again, but he refused and left.
• Yu Xiaogang ordered the Shrek students other than Ma Hongjun to run ten laps carrying baskets of stones without using Soul Power, and Ning Rongrong objected before joining the others.
• Yu Xiaogang told Ma Hongjun he could solve his Evil Fire problem if Ma Hongjun became his disciple, explaining that the fire should be channeled rather than suppressed.
• Flender arrived and encouraged Ma Hongjun to hear Yu Xiaogang out.

Ma Hongjun accepted Yu Xiaogang as his master, and Yu Xiaogang proposed evolving his Evil Fire Phoenix through powerful fire-attribute Soul Rings. He ended by announcing that he planned to give Ma Hongjun a poison-producing third Soul Ring.

• Flender urged Ma Hongjun to accept Yu Xiaogang as his master, and Ma Hongjun agreed.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that Martial Soul evolution could turn Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire into Phoenix True Fire, but warned that the process might destroy his Martial Soul or kill him.
• Yu Xiaogang said fire-attribute Soul Rings could trigger the Phoenix's rebirth and help Ma Hongjun evolve his Martial Soul.
• Yu Xiaogang declared that he planned to give Ma Hongjun a third Soul Ring with the ability to produce poison.

Tang San and Tang Tianlin confronted Tai Tan, who recognized Tang San as Tang Hao’s son and Tang Tianlin as the Clear Sky Sect’s Young Sect Master. Tang Tianlin announced that the Clear Sky Sect would bring the four great clans back into the fold, beginning with the Strength Clan, and Tai Tan welcomed the chance to return.
