Chapter Summaries

Lin Yan explained why he chose a Jade Swan soul ring and discovered he could not damage the soul beast under his current mode. He had Bone Douluo kill it by making its fall look accidental, then prepared to absorb its ring before Ning Fengzhi spotted a soul bone.

• Lin Yan told Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo that a Jade Swan was a rare, powerful support-type soul beast whose vitality could benefit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Lin Yan found that he could not harm the unconscious Jade Swan and realized the system had blocked him from killing it directly.
• Lin Yan asked Bone Douluo to throw the Jade Swan high into the sky, claiming an accidental death increased the chance of a soul bone dropping.
• Bone Douluo hurled the Jade Swan upward, and it fell onto sharp stones and died, leaving behind a soul ring that Lin Yan could absorb.
• Ning Fengzhi noticed that the Jade Swan had also dropped a soul bone just as Lin Yan moved to absorb its soul ring.

Lin Yan absorbed a sixty-thousand-year Emerald Swan Soul Ring, gained a powerful healing skill, rose to rank thirty-five, and obtained a Soul Bone. He returned to Suotuo City to find a huge crowd, including many Titled Douluos, gathered outside his Cultivation Room.

• Lin Yan extracted the Emerald Swan's sixty-thousand-year Trunk Bone and stored it for later, while the others took his claim about increasing Soul Bone drops as fact.

Ning Fengzhi saw many of the continent’s major powers, including Bibi Dong and Xue Qinghe, gather at Lin Yan’s shop. After Lin Yan returned with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi revealed three Soul Bones they had obtained, and the crowd realized the rumored ten-percent Soul Bone drop rate was real.

• The crowd reacted in disbelief, then accepted that the ten-percent Soul Bone drop rate was real and wondered whether Soul Bones could become plentiful across the continent.

• Ning Fengzhi signed a contract for a year of Demon King Guard protection for Ning Zhizun and agreed to pay 10.12 million gold soul coins.
• Onlookers suspected Ning Fengzhi was helping Lin Yan avoid demonstrating the escorts’ strength, so Lin Yan promised to summon all four tiers for testing.
• Lin Yan customized a first-tier Frost Guard, who appeared amid intense cold and was revealed to be a level 90 Titled Douluo with an Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul, a red soul ring, a complete frost soul bone set, and a Frost Domain.

• After Zhu Zhuqing signed the contract, the Blazing Flame Guard became bound to Zhu Zhuyou and would teleport to protect her from danger.
• Lin Yan had the customers form a queue, then called the middle-aged man from the previous day to go first as promised, explaining that the man had earned a twenty-percent discount by catching a billing mistake.
• The middle-aged man, who was Sea Dragon Douluo, decided to purchase a package so he could have a child and help the other Sacred Pillars fulfill the same wish.
• Sea Dragon Douluo claimed he could afford the highest-tier package, and Lin Yan used the system to assess his identity and assets, discovering that he was a major figure.

Lin Yan discovered that Sea Dragon Douluo had a 60-million-Gold-Soul-Coin credit limit and prepared to sell him every package. Sea Dragon Douluo chose the standard options, leaving Lin Yan to calculate the total cost.

• Lin Yan explained the extra cost for customizing a child’s sex, but Sea Dragon Douluo chose the standard option.
• Sea Dragon Douluo asked Lin Yan to calculate the total price without making a mistake.

• Lin Yan used the system to hatch a golden-bloodline female Mandala Snake for 730,000 Gold Soul Coins.

• Lin Yan told Sea Dragon Douluo that they could now begin applying technology to the embryo.

Lin Yan completed the incubation of Sea Dragon Douluo’s child, whose divine presence and twin dragon martial souls stunned the gathered experts. The Vast Sea Glazed True Dragon and Jade Dragon left even Yu Yuanzhen questioning the supremacy of his clan’s martial soul.

• Lin Yan accelerated the red divine egg’s incubation, and it hatched into a baby before he used divine light to bring him to about six years old.
• Sea Dragon Douluo asked Lin Yan to test the boy’s soul power and martial souls, overcome by tenderness and worry for his child.

• Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianheng watched the dragons and saw that the Vast Sea Glazed True Dragon’s bloodline surpassed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon’s.

Sea Dragon Douluo’s newly awakened son displayed twin supreme dragon martial souls, while Yu Yuanzhen resolved to have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cultivate a stronger successor.

• Sea Dragon Douluo asked Lin Yan to reopen the arena so the crowd could see the Demon King Guard’s abilities.
• Lin Yan persuaded the system to let him fight as a stand-in with a new identity and martial soul, then asked the crowd if they wanted a demonstration.

• Lin Yan opened the Demon King Guard customization interface and found it offered divine artifacts, primordial beasts, soul rings, soul bones, and combat-power traits.
• Lin Yan chose the Ancestral Dragon as the Demon King Guard’s martial soul, hoping its appearance would confuse the crowd about his own identity.

Lin Yan summoned Demon King Guard No. 2, an Ancestral Dragon Quasi-God, and explained the ranks and soul cores that set him apart from the world's Limit Douluo. He then revealed that he himself was Demon King Guard No. 1 and prepared to demonstrate his martial soul.

Lin Yan defeated Demon King Guard No. 2 in a devastating arena battle, then explained that the arena’s Life-Saving Mechanism prevented sparring partners from dying. Sea Dragon Douluo next asked to cultivate a child on someone else’s behalf and produced a bead holding a drop of golden-glowing blood.

• Lin Yan and Demon King Guard No. 2 fought with enough force to shatter the arena and spill into space, until Lin Yan overwhelmed the Ancestral Dragon with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

• Lin Yan ended his template and reopened the Cultivation Room, while the onlookers resolved not to offend him.
• Sea Dragon Douluo asked whether he could cultivate a child for someone else, then brought out a bead containing a drop of vivid red, faintly golden blood.
