Chapter Summaries

Ning Fengzhi visited Ye Chen to discuss the Soul Ring Storage Device and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s plans to hunt powerful Sea Soul Beasts. Ye Chen offered to give Ning Fengzhi one, leaving the device’s transfer as the next step.

• Ning Rongrong welcomed Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, and Gu Rong warned Ye Chen not to bully her.
• Ye Chen joked that he had raised Ning Rongrong to be plump and healthy, making her blush.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that the Soul Ring Storage Device could help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hunt 100,000 Year Sea Soul Beasts and safely preserve their Soul Rings.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Ye Chen about the Soul Ring Storage Device, and Ye Chen offered to give him one.

Ye Chen gave Ning Fengzhi a Soul Ring Storage Device for free, then offered to sell the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect powerful firearms to bolster its Support-Type Soul Masters. After learning the sect had about fifteen hundred potential users, Ye Chen planned to charge a hundredfold markup, leaving Ning Fengzhi to consider the price.

• Ye Chen explained how the Soul Ring Storage Device worked and gave it to Ning Fengzhi, who accepted it and planned to repay his generosity later.
• Ye Chen offered Ning Fengzhi other goods and explained that his firearms could threaten even a Seven Ring Soul Saint, though an Eight Ring Soul Douluo could evade a shot.
• Ning Fengzhi told Ye Chen that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had about fifteen hundred Support-Type Soul Masters.
• Ye Chen calculated the cost of supplying the sect with Barrett rifles and decided to charge one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins per weapon, aiming for a massive profit.

Ye Chen pitched the Barrett sniper rifle to Ning Fengzhi as a way to give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Support-Type Soul Masters combat power. After showing Ning Fengzhi how the firearm worked, Ye Chen claimed it could kill an unprepared Seven Ring Soul Saint with a shot to a vital point.

• Ye Chen asked Ning Fengzhi whether he worried about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Support-Type Soul Masters being unable to protect themselves, then confirmed he had a solution.
• Ning Fengzhi guessed Ye Chen had a Soul Tool, but Ye Chen clarified that he meant firearms, prompting Ning Rongrong to laugh at Ning Fengzhi’s confusion with spears.
• Ye Chen took out a Barrett and explained that its bullet could penetrate an inch-thick iron plate.
• Ning Fengzhi peered into the loaded rifle’s muzzle, and Ye Chen quickly pushed it aside and warned him about the danger.
• Ye Chen compared the Barrett to a bow and arrow, explained its range, and said a shot to a vital point could kill an unprepared Seven Ring Soul Saint.

Ye Chen tested the Barrett’s power with Gu Rong and sold Ning Fengzhi a large order for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After agreeing on the deal, Ye Chen asked Ning Fengzhi to help him collect Soul Bones.

• Ning Fengzhi was impressed by the Barrett’s potential, and Ye Chen asked Gu Rong to test it in the backyard arena.
• Gu Rong let Ye Chen fire at his Protective Soul Power and concluded that the Barrett could threaten Soul Emperors and outrun most Soul Saints’ ability to dodge.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Ye Chen for the Barrett’s price, and Ye Chen offered each gun for one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins with a thousand bullets included.
• Ning Fengzhi ordered two thousand Barretts and arranged for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to deliver the payment later.
• Ye Chen concealed his enormous profit and asked Ning Fengzhi to help him collect Soul Bones instead of paying immediately.

Ye Chen explained why Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong needed different Soul Bones and discussed whether powerful Soul Rings explained Tang Hao’s strength. The chapter left Ning Fengzhi reconsidering Tang Hao’s fighting style after Ye Chen pointed out he had never heard Tang Hao use a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Soul Skill.

• Ye Chen asked Ning Fengzhi to find Ice Attribute Soul Bones for Xiao Wu, Netherworld Spirit Cat Soul Bones for Zhu Zhuqing, and two suitable Soul Bones for Ning Rongrong, offering to pay market price.
• Ning Fengzhi learned Ning Rongrong could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level 70, and asked why Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could not do the same.
• Ye Chen explained that Ning Rongrong could use Sea Soul Beast Soul Rings, but compatible rabbit- and feline-type Sea Soul Beasts were unavailable.
• Ning Fengzhi argued that Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings could boost combat strength even without strong martial soul compatibility, citing Tang Hao.
• Ye Chen said Tang Hao’s strength came from the Clear Sky Sect’s secret arts and Ring Detonation, not his Ten Thousand Year Soul Skills, and asked why Tang Hao never used his Ninth Soul Skill.
• Ning Fengzhi admitted he had never considered that Tang Hao always detonated his rings before attacking with his hammer.

Ye Chen explained why soul ring compatibility mattered more than age, and Ning Fengzhi agreed to provide suitable Soul Bones for Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s treasure vault, Ning Rongrong received two Soul Bones, while the group prepared to find bones for the others.

• Ye Chen told Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong that high-age Soul Rings suited to a Spirit Master’s martial spirit could be more useful than incompatible Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
• Ning Fengzhi invited Ye Chen and the others back to the sect and promised Soul Bones for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, saying he had already prepared Ning Rongrong’s.
• Ning Fengzhi hosted the group for a meal, then took them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s guarded treasure vault.
• Ning Fengzhi gave Ning Rongrong a Right Arm Bone and a Right Leg Bone from the vault, and she happily accepted them.

Ye Chen chose seven soul bones from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s treasury for Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing. Ning Fengzhi offered them for free, and Ye Chen accepted while giving him two Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma plants in return.

• Ning Fengzhi explained the skills of two soul bones he had selected for Ning Rongrong, and Ye Chen approved of their suitability.
• Ye Chen selected four ice-attribute soul bones for Xiao Wu and a Netherworld Spirit Cat soul bone for Zhu Zhuqing, then reviewed their attached skills.
• Ye Chen insisted on paying the market price for all seven soul bones, but Ning Fengzhi refused to accept money.
• Ye Chen bought two Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma plants from the System Shop and gave them to Ning Fengzhi as return gifts.

• Ye Chen explained the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma’s effects to Ning Fengzhi, who recognized its value to the sect.
• Ye Chen and his companions left after he sold weapons to Ning Fengzhi for two hundred million Gold Soul Coins and received seven Soul Bones.
• Ning Fengzhi summoned Elder Wang Xuanwu and Steward Ning Tianhua to give them the two ganoderma.
• Ning Fengzhi told Wang Xuanwu and Ning Tianhua that the ganoderma might help them break through their bottlenecks, though he could not guarantee Wang’s success.
• Ning Fengzhi urged them to consume the ganoderma, promising another surprise if they advanced: a trip with Chen Xin and Gu Rong to seek Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

After returning to Heaven Dou City, Ye Chen used Soul Bone Age Upgrade Cards to strengthen Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, bringing both to level 60 and preparing them to obtain sixth Soul Rings. Xiao Wu completed refining her four Soul Bones later, while Ye Chen planned to take the others to the Star Dou Great Forest in three days.

The chapter ended with Ning Rongrong revealing that her sixth soul skill enhanced a target’s strongest attribute, while Zhu Zhuqing remained the only one of the four below the sixth ring.

• Ye Chen delayed the group’s journey and booked a room with a large bed at Soul Hunting Town, where he kept Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong from getting a proper night’s rest.
• Ye Chen and the others reached the Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest, where Ye Chen confined a fifty-thousand-year Azure Tree and Ning Rongrong killed it with her Golden Crocodile Claw.
• Ning Rongrong absorbed the Azure Tree Soul Ring, advanced to level 64, and became a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, but did not obtain a Soul Bone.
• Ning Rongrong told Ye Chen that her sixth soul skill enhanced a target’s strongest attribute and that her six soul skills now provided 105% attribute enhancement.

• Ye Chen assessed Ning Rongrong’s attribute-boosting abilities and continued searching with her, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu for a suitable sixth Soul Ring.
• Ye Chen found a Netherworld Spirit Cat over forty thousand years old and immobilized it with Confinement and Endless Blood Vine.
• Zhu Zhuqing killed the weakened Netherworld Spirit Cat with Netherdark Slash and began absorbing its black Soul Ring.
• Ye Chen asked Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong to prepare camp, but Ning Rongrong insisted on making dinner.
• Ye Chen praised Ning Rongrong’s cooking to her face, then told Xiao Wu to make do with life’s disappointments.

Zhu Zhuqing became a level 62 Soul Emperor after refining her sixth soul ring, then found and refined a Netherworld Spirit Cat head Soul Bone that raised her to level 65. She gained the invisibility skill Netherworld Concealment, tested its limits, and Ye Chen suggested they return home.

• Zhu Zhuqing refined the Netherworld Spirit Cat soul ring, reached level 62, and discovered that her sixth skill, Netherdark Power, increased all her attributes by 120%.
• Ye Chen sensed a Soul Bone in the Netherworld Spirit Cat's corpse, and Zhu Zhuqing retrieved its head Soul Bone.
• Ye Chen gave Zhu Zhuqing six Soul Bone Age Upgrade Cards, and she raised the Soul Bone to 100,000 years, gaining three levels and reaching level 65.
• Zhu Zhuqing explained that Netherworld Concealment made her invisible and silent for up to 65 seconds, but ended as soon as she attacked.
• Zhu Zhuqing tested the skill; Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong could not detect her, while Ye Chen could, and he said most Soul Douluo would fail to spot her but Titled Douluo probably could.
• Ye Chen said they should return home now that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had their sixth soul rings.

Ye Chen and Zhu Zhuqing encountered Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and Dai Fu in the Star Dou Great Forest after the pair captured a soul beast. Dai Fu blocked their departure and planned to kill all four companions, while Zhu Zhuyun tried to stop him.

• Zhu Zhuqing dismissed Zhu Zhuyun and prepared to leave with Ye Chen, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong.
• Dai Fu appeared, blocked the group, and intended to kill all four to protect the Star Luo Royal Family's interests.
• Zhu Zhuyun asked Dai Fu to reconsider, worried that killing Ning Rongrong would make the Star Luo Royal Family an enemy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Dai Fu rejected Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun’s pleas and tried to kill Ye Chen to uphold the Star Luo royal family’s dignity. Ye Chen revealed his extraordinary soul rings and met Dai Fu’s attack, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun urged Dai Fu to drop the matter, but he insisted that Ye Chen and Zhu Zhuqing had to die.
• Ye Chen challenged Dai Fu, and Dai Fu activated his White Tiger Martial Soul Avatar with eight soul rings.

• Dai Fu used his eighth soul skill, White Tiger Shattering Claw, while Ye Chen activated Purplish Gold Guard to block it.
• Dai Fu’s attack struck Ye Chen’s shield with a deafening boom.

Ye Chen killed the Star Luo royal expert Dai Fu after blocking his attack, then took the Soul Bones from his corpse. He spared Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, leaving Dai Weisi torn over whether to report the killing to the royal family.

• Dai Fu's White Tiger Shattering Claw failed against Ye Chen's Purplish Gold Guard, and Ye Chen confined him with his Bamboo Staff.

• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun wondered how to explain Dai Fu's death, and Dai Weisi doubted the royal family could safely seek revenge against Ye Chen.

Dai Weisi dealt with Dai Fu’s body while Zhu Zhuyun absorbed a Soul Ring. At sea, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s group defeated a 100,000-year Sea Dragon Soul Beast, secured its Soul Ring and spoils, and returned with another Titled Douluo in their ranks.

• Ning Fengzhi’s group departed, leaving the remaining Sea Dragon Soul Beast meat to the Sea Soul Beasts drawn by its blood.

Ye Chen used five Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Age Upgrade Cards to strengthen his sixth soul ring, raising his Soul Power to level 76, then decided to visit Qian Renxue with a carved gift. He began carving a silly goose from Purplish Gold Demonic Bamboo, but Xiao Wu thought it looked like a duck.

• Ye Chen warned Ning Fengzhi that turmoil would arise in a few years because a Deity was due to appear, then denied Ning Fengzhi’s teasing suggestion that he meant himself.

Ye Chen told Ning Fengzhi that Bibi Dong was undergoing the Rakshasa God Test and could become a deity, leaving Ning worried about Spirit Hall's threat to the Upper Three Sects. The next morning, Ye Chen visited Xue Qinghe's Crown Prince Residence with his second sculpture, Spreading Wings Swan.

• Ning Fengzhi guessed that Qian Daoliu or Tang Chen might become a god, but Ye Chen explained that neither would and revealed Bibi Dong's divine test.

• Ye Chen brought Spreading Wings Swan to the Crown Prince Residence, where a steward welcomed him and led him to Xue Qinghe.

Ye Chen visited Qian Renxue at the Crown Prince Residence and presented her with a wooden swan carving made from rare soul-beast bamboo. He left believing his carving was masterful, while Qian Renxue concealed her concern about his plans to use more precious materials and avoided discussing romance.
