Chapter Summaries

Yang Yunhai took the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and the tiny Blue Silver Emperor plant from Tang Hao’s cave, leaving a taunting note and misleading clues before hiding in the mountains. He began absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and lost consciousness as its power spread through his body.

• Yang Yunhai retrieved the soul bone and placed the Blue Silver Emperor plant in a Bamboo Tube.
• Yang Yunhai left Tang Hao a mocking message, claiming he had taken the soul bone and thrown the plant into the Waterfall Pool.
• Yang Yunhai altered the marks by the waterfall to resemble animal claw scratches, then fled upstream to find a hidden cave.
• Yang Yunhai opened the Lead Box and began absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, whose power strengthened and expanded his meridians.
• Yang Yunhai’s consciousness faded as his body glowed pale blue, while the Blue Silver Emperor plant swayed inside the Bamboo Tube.

Yang Yunhai tried to consume the Blue Silver Emperor while using lightning to suppress its soul and temper his body. After repeated strikes pushed him to the brink, a strange cool aura moved from his abdomen into his right leg, and he collapsed as the storm faded.

• Yang Yunhai woke in his cave during heavy rain and found the Blue Silver Emperor sprout moving inside its bamboo tube.
• Yang Yunhai decided to eat the Blue Silver Emperor while drawing lightning, hoping to suppress its soul and use his Soul Bone's healing skill to survive.
• Yang Yunhai summoned his martial soul, attracted a bolt of lightning, and pulled the Blue Silver Emperor from the tube before swallowing it whole.
• Repeated lightning strikes caused Yang Yunhai severe pain, while his healing skill eased some of the damage and his body began to change.
• As Yang Yunhai neared his limit, a cool aura surged from his lower abdomen into his right leg; another lightning bolt struck him, leaving him unconscious as the storm subsided.

After surviving the lightning, Yang Yunhai discovered that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul had evolved and his body had been transformed. He decided to leave for the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt his Third Soul Ring alone, while keeping his rapid advancement and strength secret.

• Yang Yunhai woke with pale skin and blue hair, then confirmed that his martial soul had evolved without fully awakening the Blue Silver Domain.
• Yang Yunhai suspected that Ah Yin was unconscious inside his soul bone and concluded that he needed to visit the Blue Silver King to complete his bloodline awakening.
• Yang Yunhai discovered that his Thunder Attribute had changed and that his meridians seemed fully open, while his Soul Power had reached level 30.
• Yang Yunhai decided to hunt a roughly 3,000-year plant-type soul beast alone in the Star Dou Great Forest rather than risk exposing his soul bone or endangering Uncle Ao.
• Yang Yunhai buried the Lead Box, dried his clothes, and flew away from the cave at dusk after bidding farewell to Tang Hao.

Yang Yunhai discovered that his evolved Blue Silver Grass bloodline let him share the plants’ senses, making his journey through the Star Dou Great Forest safer. He found a strange, massive snake-shaped Soul Beast that might suit his Third Soul Ring and prepared to investigate it.

• Yang Yunhai rested at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest and noticed his Soul Power circulated faster while cultivating among Blue Silver Grass.
• Yang Yunhai used his Martial Soul to sense through nearby Blue Silver Grass, realizing his Spiritual Power and evolved bloodline let him perceive the surrounding area through the plants.
• Yang Yunhai caught and cooked a small snake Soul Beast, then entered the forest and traveled deeper while using the plants’ shared vision and his Soul Bone’s flight ability.
• After several days, Yang Yunhai spotted a huge, coiled snake-like creature covered in diamond-shaped growths and estimated it had at least three thousand years of cultivation.
• Yang Yunhai considered the creature a better candidate for his Third Soul Ring than Ghost Vine, whose Parasitize ability he had originally sought.

Yang Yunhai found a living Pot Vine and wore it down by repeatedly draining its energy and shocking it from the air until it died. He prepared a concealed shelter and began absorbing its Spirit Ring, enduring the pain as the chapter ended.

• Yang Yunhai spotted a living Pot Vine and judged its defensive resilience, energy storage, and parasitic traits suitable for him.
• Yang Yunhai attacked the Pot Vine with draining vines and Golden Thunder, but retreated when it released Parasitic Spores.
• Yang Yunhai repeatedly struck the Pot Vine from the air, forcing it to spray spores and deplete its stored energy until it lay motionless.
• Yang Yunhai confirmed the Pot Vine was dead when its Spirit Ring appeared, then dug a concealed pit and scattered Insect Repellent Powder around it.
• Yang Yunhai summoned his martial soul and began absorbing the purple Spirit Ring, gritting his teeth against the pain.

Yang Yunhai absorbed a third Spirit Ring from a Pot Vine, reaching level 32 and gaining major improvements to his martial soul, then flew toward the forest outskirts. He stopped by a stream to wash, rest, and catch fish, but the thing that fell beneath the waterfall turned out to be a large white fish—or so it appeared at first glance.

• A wounded Black-Clad Girl fled through the Star Dou Great Forest while pursuing Spirit Masters continued their chase on a commanding woman's orders.
• Yang Yunhai emerged from his pit after absorbing the Pot Vine's Spirit Ring and found that he had reached level 32 without gaining an External Soul Bone.
• Yang Yunhai examined his transformed martial soul and suspected its new barbs could release Parasitic Spores while its roots could store absorbed energy.
• Yang Yunhai flew toward the outskirts, found a stream, and decided to camp there after scouting the bank with Blue Silver Grass.
• Yang Yunhai shocked several bass in the stream, heard something splash beneath the waterfall, and hurried over to investigate.
• Yang Yunhai looked down from the waterfall and saw a very large white fish, making his earlobes grow hot.

Yang Yunhai accidentally electrocuted an injured young woman in Waterfall Pool, then rescued and treated her. He suspected she might be Zhu Zhuqing, but waited for her to wake and reveal who she was.

• Yang Yunhai noticed the unconscious woman floating beside the reef and worried that his electrical attack had worsened her injuries.
• He carried her ashore, dressed her in the clothes on the reef, and made a fire to warm her.
• Yang Yunhai used his life-aligned Soul Power to heal her injuries and remove the scabs without leaving scars.
• He wondered whether the woman was Zhu Zhuqing, but chose not to inspect her Soul Tool or belongings.
• After grilling fish and packing up, Yang Yunhai sat nearby and meditated while she remained asleep.

Yang Yunhai practiced his martial soul’s devouring ability on several soul beasts while guarding the unconscious girl. When a pack of Gale Devil Wolves attacked, he defeated them and the girl awoke, mistaking him for her savior and thanking him.

• Yang Yunhai captured a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and discovered he could drain its fluids and Soul Power, then restore what he had taken.

• At dawn, Yang Yunhai prepared rabbit meat by the stream as several fast soul beasts surrounded the camp.
• Seven Gale Devil Wolves attacked, and Yang Yunhai killed six while binding their fleeing alpha wolf.
• The girl awoke amid the fight, saw Yang Yunhai and the defeated wolves, and solemnly thanked him for saving her life.

Yang Yunhai rescued Zhu Zhuqing from the Gale Devil Wolves, but she was shaken when she learned he was a man and had treated her wounds.

• Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing left the Star Dou Great Forest and camped overnight, then continued toward a human town.

• After arriving, Yang Yunhai invited Zhu Zhuqing to explore the shops with him, and she agreed.
• Yang Yunhai recognized a general store displaying Soul Tools and found the dark yellow crystal he wanted.
• Yang Yunhai approached Flender and asked how much the crystal cost.

Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing bargained with Flender over a crystal, and Yang Yunhai used the encounter to test the Shrek Academy headmaster’s character. Flender realized the two young Soul Masters were exceptional recruits and relented, while Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing prepared to visit Shrek Academy the next day.

• Flender raised the crystal’s price from one hundred to two hundred Gold Soul Coins after Zhu Zhuqing offered to pay.
• Yang Yunhai told Zhu Zhuqing they should skip Shrek Academy for a more affordable school, prompting Flender to realize they had come to enroll and lower the price.
• Zhu Zhuqing paid one hundred Gold Soul Coins and stored the crystal in her Soul Tool.
• Yang Yunhai told Zhu Zhuqing that Flender was Shrek Academy’s headmaster and had likely sensed their cultivation.
• Zhu Zhuqing inferred that Yang Yunhai had used the purchase to test Flender and had hinted that they might leave unless he sold the crystal at its original price.

Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing stayed together at an inn in Suotuo City, where he persuaded her that her sister had driven her out of the Star Luo Empire to protect her. Zhu Zhuqing agreed to travel with him to Heaven Dou City, while Yang Yunhai resolved to grow stronger and pursue the Immortal Herbs.

After drafting a theory for testing Spirit Ring limits, he left for the Spirit Hall Holy Temple, while the chapter also showed Tang San and Xiao Wu arriving in Suotuo City and Flender wondering why they had not returned to his shop.

• Zhu Zhuqing trimmed Yang Yunhai's hair, and the two traveled by carriage toward Heaven Dou City while Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived in Suotuo City and Tang San defeated Dai Mubai at the Rose Hotel.

• Salas read Yang Yunhai's account of his lightning-based cultivation, Cross-Level Soul Ring Absorption Theory, and rare Bamboo Shoot Essence, then considered reporting the theory to Spirit City.

Salas issued him a new Martial Soul certificate and advised him to use Xue Qinghe’s protection before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect investigated his rapid cultivation.

• Yang Yunhai requested a Soul Tool that could store living creatures so he could study medicinal plants and conduct experiments, and Salas agreed to relay the request to the Pope.
