Chapter Summaries

Lu Feng confronted Tang San about his lack of cultivation and, after Tang San left, collected the final fragment needed to synthesize the Xuantian Gong. He returned to Holy Soul Village with the technique and continued his ordinary interactions with the villagers.

• Lu Feng stopped Tang San’s Sleeve Arrow with a firewood chopper and teased him for cultivating only briefly each day.
• Lu Feng complained that Tang San had made his arrowheads poorly and gave him a wild boar leg.
• Lu Feng explained that he collected fragments that could be fused into skills, items, attributes, and cultivation techniques.
• After Tang San left, Lu Feng picked up the final black Xuantian Gong fragment and fused it into the complete technique.
• Lu Feng hurried home, declined an invitation to breakfast, and joked with Little Tiger about Gray Douluo.

Lu Feng cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill for a month, building Soul Power and strengthening his body before Spirit Awakening. At the ceremony, Su Yuntao awakened ordinary farming-tool martial spirits in several children, while Lu Feng and Tang San were still waiting their turn.

• Lu Feng trained his body alongside cultivating twice a day and learned that overexertion left him drained and sore.
• Old Jack brought Lu Feng and Tang San to the village Spirit Hall for Spirit Awakening.
• Su Yuntao introduced himself as a level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster and transformed with his Lone Wolf martial spirit, frightening the children.
• Su Yuntao awakened several children’s martial spirits, which were mostly farming tools, and none had Innate Soul Power.

During the village awakening ceremony, Lu Feng discovered that he had no Martial Soul of his own but could collect Martial Soul fragments and combine them. He left with Level Five Soul Power and a Clear Sky Hammer fragment, planning to follow Tang San rather than join Spirit Hall.

• Tang San awakened Innate Full Soul Power with Blue Silver Grass, while Su Yuntao failed to awaken a Martial Soul in Lu Feng despite draining his Soul Power.
• Su Yuntao proposed that Lu Feng might have a Body Martial Soul, and Lu Feng collected fragments of Lone Wolf, Blue Silver Grass, and Clear Sky Hammer from the awakening array.
• Lu Feng tested at Level Five Soul Power and declined Su Yuntao’s invitation to join Spirit Hall until he became a Soul Master, while Tang San also deferred his decision.
• Su Yuntao recorded Lu Feng’s Martial Soul as body on his certificate, though Lu Feng knew he had no Martial Soul and could synthesize one from ten identical fragments.
• At home, Lu Feng examined his fragments and found he could use only one Martial Soul at a time; he then focused on the black Clear Sky Hammer fragment.

Lu Feng planned how to develop his multiple Martial Souls, deciding to prioritize strength while valuing caution, Soul Power, special effects, and Spiritual Power. After remembering Tang San’s Purple Demon Eye, he went to collect a debt from Tang Hao’s household, where Tang Hao was teaching Tang San to forge.

• Lu Feng compared Soul Master systems and Balanced and Extreme Styles before choosing a cautious approach centered on strength, with agility as a backup.
• Lu Feng added Soul Power, special effects, and Spiritual Power to his training priorities and remembered that Tang San’s Purple Demon Eye might be useful.
• Lu Feng noticed the arrow hole in a pig-leg bone and decided it was time to collect his debt.
• Tang Hao corrected Tang San’s forging technique before Lu Feng arrived carrying half a pig’s head.
• Tang Hao happily took the pig’s head, while Tang San guiltily wondered whether Lu Feng had come to demand repayment.

After discovering that Tang San had used scrap iron for his arrowheads, Lu Feng received a new batch forged by Tang Hao and learned the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique. He practiced it with a firewood chopper, and Tang Hao watched in astonishment as Lu Feng demonstrated exceptional control and talent.

• Lu Feng showed Tang Hao broken arrowheads and explained that a wild boar had survived being shot with one.
• Tang Hao recognized the scrap iron, realized Tang San had cut corners, and forged Lu Feng high-quality arrowheads while teaching Tang San his technique.
• Lu Feng collected forging-skill fragments and a Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique fragment as he watched Tang Hao demonstrate the technique.
• Lu Feng left the blacksmith shop, then devoted the following days to training instead of hunting and practiced the technique with a firewood chopper.
• Tang Hao secretly watched Lu Feng practice and concluded that Lu Feng's control and comprehension surpassed Tang San's.
• Lu Feng delivered a near-perfect slash into a thick tree trunk as Tang Hao recognized his extraordinary potential.

Lu Feng trained to adapt the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, then traveled with Tang San and Old Jack to Nuoding City’s Junior Academy. After the gatekeeper insulted their village and doubted their certificates, Lu Feng used his Spirit Hall Youth Group Reserve seal to secure their entry and discovered a Faith Fragment.

• Lu Feng tried to reshape the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer around his momentum but injured himself when he lost focus.
• Old Jack explained the different Soul Master academies as he took Lu Feng and Tang San to Nuoding City.
• At the academy gates, the gatekeeper mocked Holy Soul Village and rejected the boys’ certificates, prompting Tang San to ready his Sleeve Arrow.
• The gatekeeper saw Lu Feng’s Spirit Hall Youth Group Reserve seal and apologized, and Lu Feng let him step aside.
• Lu Feng picked up a Faith Fragment at the gates and wondered whether it came from the gatekeeper’s gratitude.

Lu Feng registered at the academy, avoided becoming Yu Xiaogang’s disciple, and picked up fragments from him. At the Seventh Dormitory, Lu Feng defeated Wang Sheng in a wrestling match and became its boss, discovering that fights could yield more fragments.

• Yu Xiaogang accepted Tang San as his disciple, while Lu Feng praised him politely and received a fragment of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.
• Director Su warned Lu Feng not to become Yu Xiaogang’s disciple, and Lu Feng headed to the Seventh Dormitory as a Work-Study Student.
• Lu Feng watched Wang Sheng wrestle Daxiong and picked up fragments of Wrestling and Knuckle Duster.
• Wang Sheng challenged Lu Feng, who threw him over his back and won the Seventh Dormitory’s leadership.
• Wang Sheng accepted defeat and introduced Lu Feng as the new boss, while Lu Feng collected War Tiger and Charm fragments and noticed that combat produced more drops.

Lu Feng and Tang San fought over the Seventh Dormitory’s claim to the strongest student, and their prolonged sparring revealed each boy’s skill and impressed the other. Lu Feng collected fragments from Tang San’s techniques, while Tang San weighed whether to continue without using his hidden weapons.

• Lu Feng challenged Tang San to a spar, and the two traded blows as Wang Sheng and the other students watched.
• Tang San used his Mysterious Jade Hand and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to weaken Lu Feng, but Lu Feng recovered with the Mysterious Heaven Skill and insisted they keep fighting.
• Lu Feng borrowed force from Tang San’s attack to throw him toward the bed, prompting Tang San to recognize the move as similar to Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and reconsider Lu Feng’s abilities.
• Lu Feng collected fragments of Tang San’s cultivation methods and martial arts, then disassembled an extra Mysterious Heaven Skill fragment into a black cultivation light point.
• Tang San considered continuing the spar but hesitated because his Mysterious Jade Hand was fading and he did not want to reveal his Sleeve Arrow.

Lu Feng prepared for his first spirit ring by studying soul beasts and spirit-ring theories, while questioning Yu Xiaogang’s teachings. After reaching level six, he met Yu Xiaogang in the library and began to challenge his claim about the first spirit ring’s age limit.

• Lu Feng and Tang San called their fight a draw, and Xiao Wu arrived at the Seventh Dormitory and sparred with Tang San.
• Tang San left to shop before his planned trip to the Soul Hunting Forest, while Lu Feng discovered he had advanced to level six and began planning to hunt his first spirit ring on his own.
• Lu Feng studied in the library, collected cultivation-method fragments, and considered how different spirit rings shaped Martial Souls and how Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor bloodline changed his path.
• Yu Xiaogang found Lu Feng reading Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and explained his proposed first spirit-ring limit of 423 years.
• Lu Feng asked Yu Xiaogang how he had calculated the extra three years, then said he had an idea and invited him to hear it.

Lu Feng angered Yu Xiaogang with his questions about soul bones and soul beasts, then collected fragments that revealed Luo Sanpao had a light attribute. When Xiao Wu’s confrontation with Xiao Chenyu drew him in, Lu Feng rushed to join the fight and set up a surprise attack.

• Lu Feng questioned Yu Xiaogang about unusual theories, prompting Yu Xiaogang to abandon the idea of taking him as a disciple and leave the library.
• Lu Feng collected a Luo Sanpao fragment and a light attribute fragment from the scattered books, then reasoned that Luo Sanpao had possessed the light attribute all along.
• Lu Feng planned to attend Yu Xiaogang’s classes with Xiao Wu and Tang San, and asked Brother Li to buy two thousand jin of carrots.
• Xiaoliu told Lu Feng that Xiao Wu was fighting Xiao Chenyu and his group, so Lu Feng hurried to the academy’s rear forest.
• Lu Feng joined Xiao Wu’s side, insulted Xiao Chenyu, and shouted for Xiaosan to attack his opponent’s ass, causing Xiao Chenyu and the others to turn around.

Lu Feng and the Work-Study Students defeated a large group of upperclassmen, with Tang San joining the fight after Xiao Wu was injured. When Director Su arrived, Lu Feng denied leading the brawl and reported Tang San as the group’s boss.

• Lu Feng used lime to blind the upperclassmen, and he and Xiao Wu led the Work-Study Students in a fight against them.
• Tang San learned that the Work-Study Students were under attack and hurried to the back hill.
• After Xiao Wu was struck, Tang San used hidden pebbles to knock down several upperclassmen and helped the Work-Study Students win.

• Lu Feng told Director Su that Tang San had a soul ring and was the Work-Study Students’ boss, leaving Tang San stunned.

Lu Feng finished his first year at Nuoding Academy, reached level ten, and left to hunt for his first spirit ring. On the road to Soul Hunting Forest, he revealed the upgraded Knuckle Duster Martial Soul he planned to use to conceal that he had no true Martial Soul.

• Director Su briefly scolded Tang San over the dormitory fight, while Lu Feng compensated his underlings and learned that fragments dropped most readily during battles.
• Lu Feng spent the school year sparring with Tang San and Xiao Wu, and Tang San gradually learned Lu Feng’s techniques and hidden-weapon skills.
• Wang Sheng left for an intermediate academy, and Lu Feng told Tang San and Xiao Wu that he had reached level ten and would not return to Holy Soul Village for the holiday.
• Lu Feng declined Tang San’s offer to ask Yu Xiaogang for help and said he had arranged his spirit hunt with Su Yuntao.
• Su Yuntao gave Lu Feng a map and a Soul Hunting Token, and Lu Feng hired a carriage to travel toward Soul Hunting Forest.
• Lu Feng inspected the Knuckle Duster Martial Soul he had taken from Daxiong and noted that its fragments had upgraded it to Purple Quality.

Lu Feng prepared to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, using his completed Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and Five Elements theory to plan his Soul Rings. He infiltrated the forest with Teleportation and set bait at a pool to lure the Greenwood Python he wanted for his first Soul Ring.

• Lu Feng combined Martial Soul fragments and completed the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record after collecting its final Hundred Forms of Hidden Weapons fragment.
• Lu Feng studied the manual's Five Elements philosophy and planned to obtain Soul Rings representing five different attributes.
• Lu Feng arrived at the Soul Hunting Market, teleported over the forest's iron fence, and began searching for a Greenwood Python.
• Lu Feng reached a pool marked on Su Yuntao's map and mixed several ingredients, including precious Ink Jade Bamboo spirit liquid, into golden bait.
• Lu Feng tossed the bait into the pool and hid behind a rock to wait for the Greenwood Python.

Lu Feng faced a roughly five-hundred-year Greenwood Python undergoing Dragon Transformation and found that his arrows and Triple Bolt Crossbow could not pierce its defenses. As the enraged serpent charged, he summoned his upgraded martial soul, Cannon Five.

• Lu Feng realized the Greenwood Python was below a thousand years old but was developing the traits of Dragon Transformation.
• The Greenwood Python attacked Lu Feng, who dodged its strikes with Teleportation and fired an arrow at its eye, but its protective membrane stopped the shot.
• Lu Feng used Realgar Powder to distress the serpent, then fired his Triple Bolt Crossbow, but its bolts bounced off the python’s scales.
• The Greenwood Python’s scales glowed as it grew faster and charged Lu Feng.
• Lu Feng summoned Cannon Five, his upgraded martial soul created from Luo Sanpao.

Lu Feng defeated the Greenwood Python with a poison-laced pitfall and explosive trap, then prepared to absorb its yellow soul ring despite its age exceeding the usual limit. After eating Whale Rubber and using bloodletting therapy to withstand the strain, he began absorbing the ring and endured the violent energy surging through his body.

• Lu Feng ordered Cannon Five to attack the Greenwood Python, but the python injured Cannon Five and sent its damage back to Lu Feng.
• Lu Feng evaded the python with Teleportation, lured it into a poisoned pitfall, and detonated black powder to kill it.
• A soul-hunting team and a Spirit Hall patrol saw the distant blast and mistook it for the work of a Soul King-level expert.
• Lu Feng found the python's yellow soul ring, ate Whale Rubber, and prepared the crater area to keep other soul beasts away.
• Lu Feng cut his Yangming, Zanzhu, and Chengshan acupoints to release blood, then began absorbing the soul ring despite the strain.
• Lu Feng endured the ring's violent energy until he heard something crack and felt a warm current spread through his body.

Lu Feng tested the abilities he gained from absorbing the Greenwood Python's soul ring, then searched the lake for the secret behind the beast's unusual transformation. He found a cavern full of cultivation materials and discovered a pool of Thousand Year Cold Ice Spirit Liquid.

• Lu Feng awakened with his Soul Power at level thirteen and a half, killed a three-hundred-year Night Kite, and tested the strength-enhancing Black Iron Rod and Blue Silver Entanglement soul skills.
• Lu Feng suspected a treasure at the lake's bottom had caused the Greenwood Python to begin transforming into a dragon, so he sent Cannon Five to scout a cave entrance.
• Lu Feng followed Cannon Five through an underwater passage into a karst cavern and collected White Spirit Jade and other valuable materials.
• Lu Feng searched deeper into the cavern, found a pool of icy blue liquid, and identified it as Thousand Year Cold Ice Spirit Liquid, which could raise Soul Power and improve innate potential.

Lu Feng tempered himself and Cannon Five in the Thousand Year Cold Ice Spirit Liquid, greatly improving their strength and aptitude. After three months away, he returned to Nuoding City and entered Spirit Hall, where he spotted Su Yuntao and Sisi.

• Lu Feng absorbed the spirit liquid, broke through to Soul Power Level Fourteen, and found that his cultivation speed and physical condition had improved.
• Lu Feng discovered that Cannon Five could share its body-tempering gains with him; Cannon Five also grew smaller, turned yellow, and developed purple aptitude.
• Lu Feng left the cave after the spirit liquid lost its chill and joked with Cannon Five, whose transformation had made it resemble a small puppy.
• Su Yuntao regretted giving Lu Feng a map after learning that Tang San and Xiao Wu had also been searching for him, while Xiao Wu worried about Lu Feng at the academy.
• Lu Feng entered Nuoding City with a bundle of ores, used his soul ring to deter a suspicious soldier, and headed to Spirit Hall.
• Lu Feng showed his soul hunting warrant to enter Spirit Hall, where he saw Su Yuntao pleading with Sisi.

Lu Feng returned to Nuoding City with rare cultivation materials and offered them to Spirit Hall, where his Soul Power test revealed a startling level sixteen. Ma Xiunuo suspected Lu Feng might have obtained an evil inheritance and began an investigation, while Lu Feng agreed to cooperate.

• Su Yuntao reunited with Lu Feng at Spirit Hall and learned that Lu Feng had spent three months cultivating in Soul Hunting Forest.
• Lu Feng showed Su Yuntao a bundle of rare ores, including White Spirit Jade, and offered all of it to Spirit Hall in gratitude.
• Ma Xiunuo praised Lu Feng's generosity and tested his Soul Power, which rose to level sixteen.
• Ma Xiunuo grew concerned that Lu Feng's rapid growth might indicate he had become a Fallen One and asked what treasure he had found.
• Lu Feng said he had discovered a pool of spiritual liquid, agreed to Spirit Hall's investigation, and left for the academy as a messenger departed.

Lu Feng returned to Nuoding Academy with a hundred-year soul ring and revealed that his Soul Power had reached level sixteen, prompting Tang San to challenge him to a spar. Their fight began in the back mountain, where Lu Feng broke Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and struck his guarded arms with Heavy Punch.

• Lu Feng returned to the Seventh Dormitory, where Xiao Liuzi mistook him for a ghost and the other students learned he had survived his soul-beast hunt.
• Lu Feng displayed his hundred-year soul ring, and Tang San noticed its quality before challenging him to spar.
• At the back mountain, Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass while Lu Feng revealed his level-sixteen Soul Power and knuckle guards.
• Tang San attacked with Blue Silver Assault, but Lu Feng grabbed a strand and tore it apart.
• Lu Feng used Heavy Punch against Tang San’s Mysterious Jade Hand, and Tang San realized he could not take another blow head-on.

Lu Feng defeated Tang San with a powerful sequence of punches, then explained that he had adapted the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique. After Tang San reported the fight to Yu Xiaogang, his teacher wrongly suspected Lu Feng’s strength came from a dangerous cultivation shortcut and warned Tang San to keep the supposed truth secret.

• Lu Feng broke free of Tang San’s Blue Silver Entanglement and overwhelmed him with increasingly powerful punches, stopping short of striking him after smashing a tree behind him.
• Tang San admitted defeat, and Lu Feng told him he had adapted a blacksmithing technique by building force with each punch.
• Tang San realized he could use the same principle with his second martial soul, then left for the academy as Xiao Wu followed him.
• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang about Lu Feng’s martial soul, Soul Power, and fighting style, and Yu Xiaogang speculated that Lu Feng’s martial soul was half-awakened and his unusual strength came from a dangerous source.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San not to tell Lu Feng his theory that he might die young, then asked Tang San to identify the most important factors in spirit-master battles.
