Kai tested his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul and received introductory Soul Tool knowledge, then welcomed Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai to assess how powerful a Soul Ring he could absorb.

• Leng Yaozhu concluded Kai could absorb a Soul Ring of about fifteen hundred years and said training and whale rubber could help him withstand stronger Soul Rings.

Kai and Leng Yaozhu discussed using whale rubber to strengthen Kai’s body so he could absorb older soul rings, but its cost left them without a clear way to obtain it. Kai proposed robbing slave traders and the nobles behind them, and Leng Yaozhu agreed to target them.

• Kai explained that whale rubber could strengthen a soul master’s body and help them withstand older soul rings, but it could not replace the need for sufficient soul power and spiritual strength.
• Leng Yulai urged Leng Yaozhu to obtain whale rubber for Kai, arguing his twin martial souls and innate full soul power could let him absorb exceptionally old soul rings.

• Kai proposed robbing slave traders and nobles who profited from human trafficking, saying he would have no qualms about taking their money.
• Leng Yaozhu agreed that they could target the traffickers and oppressive nobles, and Leng Yulai asked whether they would proceed.

Slave traders brought the abducted children to a noble of the Xue Family, who tested their Martial Souls to decide how to use them. When Gu Luoyi awakened a powerful dragon-and-butterfly Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, a mysterious attacker interrupted the noble's plans.

• Slave traders transported the kidnapped children to a Xue Family noble's estate, where he planned to keep them as slaves and exploit their abilities.

• Kai learned Gu Luoyi’s parents were dead and welcomed her into the group.
• Xue Ye ordered an investigation into the noble’s death, while Spirit Hall branches helped the rescued children return home.

Kai remembered the Soul Spirit Method and decided to use it instead of hunting multiple Soul Beasts for Soul Rings. After Leng Yaozhu explained the risks and options, Kai planned to seek a ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit for himself and a thousand-year one for Gu Luoyi before they went to Nuoding Academy under cover identities.

• Leng Yulai reminded Kai of the Soul Spirit Method, and Kai recalled how Soul Spirits could provide multiple Soul Rings while binding Soul Beasts to their Soul Masters.
• Kai told Gu Luoyi to call him big brother and sent her upstairs to rest while he discussed Soul Spirits with Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai.

• Kai thanked Leng Yulai for the reminder and proposed using whale rubber to strengthen his body before attempting a contract with a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

• Kai decided they would leave the next day, then attend Nuoding Academy using Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai's cover identities as Titled Douluo from a secluded sect.

• Tang San reached Nuoding Academy and told the gatekeeper he was a Work-Study Student from Holy Soul Village with Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power.

• Yu Xiaogang arrived, questioned Tang San about his Martial Soul, and privately suspected that he had Twin Martial Souls.
• A voice entered Yu Xiaogang’s mind and called him “foolish Gangzi.”

Yu Xiaogang heard Tang San’s inner thoughts, which revealed Tang San’s supposed past life as a God King and his contempt for Yu Xiaogang’s theories. Yu Xiaogang decided not to take Tang San as his disciple but kept him at Nuoding Academy to learn more, while Tang San was left baffled and called after him.

Tang San arrived at Nuoding Academy and rejected Yu Xiaogang inwardly after Yu Xiaogang refused to take him as a disciple because of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. At the work-study dormitory, Xiao Wu heard Tang San's thoughts about their supposed past-life relationship just as he challenged the other residents to fight for the dormitory boss position.

• Yu Xiaogang dismissed Tang San's innate full soul power and refused to accept him as a disciple, while secretly planning to take his opportunities for himself.

• Tang San thought of Xiao Wu as his wife and planned to lose to her after becoming dormitory boss, and Xiao Wu realized she could hear his inner thoughts.
• Tang San challenged the dorm residents to fight for the boss position and revealed his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Meanwhile, Kai and the others searched the Star Dou Great Forest for soul beasts to become soul spirits, and Kai chose to seek a strength-attribute beast.

• The dormitory students mocked Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass, while Xiao Wu heard his thoughts about crippling them and forcing them into servitude.
• Tang San used Blue Silver Grass and the Mysterious Heaven Skill to defeat Wang Sheng, but privately continued planning to ruin the students who had mocked him.
• Xiao Wu challenged Tang San, defeated him, and became the dormitory boss; she heard him think about using Da Ming and Er Ming and rejected him as a disgusting hypocrite.

Kai and the Leng sisters found an injured ten-thousand-year Light Saint Tiger, who agreed to become Kai’s first soul spirit in exchange for them caring for his cub. After Kai gained two ten-thousand-year soul rings, they returned with the cub, named Adola, and prepared to find Gu Luoyi a soul spirit while warning her to keep the Soul Spirit Method secret.

• The group found an injured ten-thousand-year Light Saint Tiger, and the Leng sisters explained that Kai needed its willing agreement to form a Soul Spirit Contract.

• Gu Luoyi learned how soul spirits worked, and the others warned her to stay cautious and keep the method secret.

Gu Luoyi gained a thousand-year Light Spirit Butterfly Soul Spirit, and Kai and his companions returned to Nuoding City to enroll her and Kai at the academy. Meanwhile, Tang San struggled to find a teacher willing to help him obtain the roughly four-hundred-year Soul Ring he demanded.

• Kai offered a thousand-year Light Spirit Butterfly a contract with Gu Luoyi, and it became her first Soul Spirit, granting her a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
• Su Yuntao met Leng Yulai and Leng Yaozhu, learned they were Titled Douluos, and was astonished by their power and by Kai and Gu Luoyi's abilities.
• Leng Yulai asked Su Yuntao to arrange academy admission and a private dormitory for Kai and Gu Luoyi, and he agreed to give Kai's work-study place to a poorer student.
• Kai and Gu Luoyi enrolled at Nuoding Academy under public identities that concealed the Leng sisters' true ranks and Kai's Twin Martial Souls.
• Tang San requested a Soul Ring of around four hundred years, but the academy teachers refused to help and the headmaster suggested he accept a weaker ring.
• Tang San rejected the suggestion of a hundred- or two-hundred-year Soul Ring and wondered why Yu Xiaogang had not taken him as a disciple.

Tang San resented being urged to accept a weaker first soul ring, while Xiao Wu overheard his thoughts and feared his Titled Douluo father might target her. Dormitory gossip about a powerful new student named Kai left Tang San wondering whether his rebirth had changed events.

• Tang San complained that the academy would not help him obtain a soul ring over 400 years old and believed his Blue Silver Emperor deserved one.

• Tang San realized Kai and the other newcomers had not appeared in his previous life and wondered whether his rebirth had changed the story.

Leng Yulai accepted his demand for a martial soul theory debate, leaving Yu Xiaogang facing a contest he was unlikely to win.

• Nuoding Academy’s dean and teachers arrived, and the dean tried to remove Yu Xiaogang before he provoked the Titled Douluos.
• Yu Xiaogang demanded a martial soul theory debate, and Leng Yulai agreed on the condition that he defeat both sisters to teach their disciples.

At Nuoding Academy, Leng Yulai challenged Yu Xiaogang’s claim to be a theoretical grandmaster by questioning his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. She exposed that his theory about martial soul mutations was already common knowledge and used his own family history to disprove his conclusions, leaving him on the defensive.

• Nuoding Academy’s dean arranged a private debate between Leng Yulai and Yu Xiaogang, warning everyone not to discuss it outside the academy.
• Yu Xiaogang arrogantly invited Leng Yulai to question his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, while Tang San laughed at his claim.
• Leng Yulai pointed out that Yu Xiaogang’s theory about martial soul mutations had long been known throughout the soul master world.
• Leng Yulai revealed that Yu Xiaogang came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and asked whether Liu Erlong’s Fire Dragon martial soul mutation had made her stronger or weaker.
• Yu Xiaogang argued that Liu Erlong’s martial soul had become weaker because it lacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon’s physical enhancement, but Leng Yulai told him his answer was wrong.

Leng Yulai challenged Yu Xiaogang’s theories on martial soul mutations and soul ring age limits, while Kai demonstrated that he could use Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings in his first two slots. Yu Xiaogang’s claims were dismissed, he was slapped down when he tried to force Kai to reveal his method, and the debate ended with him disgraced.

• Leng Yulai argued that Liu Erlong’s fire-attribute martial soul was a parallel mutation that changed its focus rather than its strength, then questioned how Yu Xiaogang had established his proposed soul ring age limits.
• Yu Xiaogang could not explain his research, while Tang San thought about how Yu Xiaogang had obtained Spirit Hall materials from Bibi Dong.

• Yu Xiaogang demanded that Kai reveal his method, but Leng Yulai slapped him down and exposed his theories as plagiarized or fabricated.
• Leng Yulai and the dean explained that a soul master’s ability to withstand pressure, along with physical training, affected the age of soul rings they could absorb.
• The dean ended the contest, the crowd left, and a beggar-like figure secretly watched from outside an academy window.

Kai, Leng Yulai, Leng Yaozhu, and Gu Luoyi criticized Yu Xiaogang’s theories and discussed the danger of provoking his family. After waking from his beating, Yu Xiaogang vowed to steal their ideas and ruin their reputations.

• Kai praised Leng Yulai for refuting Yu Xiaogang’s limit soul ring absorption theory, and the others discussed why it ignored differences in martial souls and physical strength.
• Leng Yulai said they would humiliate Yu Xiaogang further if he returned to cause trouble, while noting that Nuoding Academy’s dean feared the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s retaliation.
• Kai and Leng Yaozhu pointed out that Yu Xiaogang was the son of rank-95 Super Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, yet remained a rank-29 Soul Grandmaster near the age of fifty.
• Gu Luoyi questioned how Yu Xiaogang could be the son of such a powerful clan leader, and Kai joked that Yu Yuanzhen might not be his real father.
• Yu Xiaogang woke up battered and swore to obtain the others’ theories, publish them, and make Kai and Gu Luoyi regret rejecting him as a teacher.

Yu Xiaogang overheard Tang San cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and decided to steal and revise it to restore his reputation. Tang San remained puzzled by Xiao Wu’s distance and by how others had obtained Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

• Yu Xiaogang heard academy students mock his Martial Soul theories and endured more scorn from cafeteria workers.
• Yu Xiaogang secretly listened to Tang San’s thoughts and learned the Mysterious Heaven Skill’s cultivation mnemonics.

• Tang San wondered why Xiao Wu had not grown close to him in this life and took satisfaction in Yu Xiaogang’s humiliation.
• Tang San wondered how others had managed to obtain Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, a method he did not know even as a God King.

Tang San planned to find a way to absorb a ten thousand year soul ring, while Leng Yaozhu prepared to exploit Tang Hao’s arrival to obtain the Clear Sky Sect’s secret techniques and Tang San’s manuals. Tang Hao heard Tang San’s thoughts and realized his son was a reincarnator who had become a god in his previous life.

• Tang San practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill and resolved to seek an inheritance that would let him withstand a ten thousand year soul ring.
• Yu Xiaogang left, claiming Tang San’s ideas and techniques as his own and vowing to ruin Tang San’s future.
• Tang Hao summoned Tang San, and Leng Yaozhu told Leng Yulai to alert their lord and seize the chance to collect the Clear Sky Sect’s secret techniques and Tang San’s manuals.
• Tang Hao told Tang San they could get the method for ten thousand year soul rings from Kai, but Tang San’s unspoken thoughts were transmitted into his father’s mind.
• Tang Hao concluded that Tang San was a reincarnator who had defeated Spirit Hall and become a god in his previous life, and he kept that realization to himself.
