Yu Xiaogang persuaded Tang San to overcome his fear by promising he could surpass Lin Chuan, and Tang San regained his confidence and vowed to settle their score. Lin Chuan returned to Dorm Seven with a large amount of dinner, delighting Wang Sheng and the other students.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast sensed another Auspicious Beast near Nuoding City and rushed to tell Di Tian. At Dorm Seven, Xiao Wu sensed Lin Chuan’s Auspicious Beast presence and grew more affectionate toward him, while Tang San secretly entered the room; Lin Chuan anticipated a confrontation with Tang Hao.
Lin Chuan learned that Tang Hao had summoned him to a grove at Nuoding Academy and prepared to face the Clear Sky Douluo with Zhang Lexuan as his protector. The chapter ended with Lin Chuan mocking Tang Hao over his exile from the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall’s bounty.
Tang Hao tried to kill Lin Chuan after Lin Chuan exposed the truth about Ah Yin’s sacrifice, but Zhang Lexuan intervened as a Peerless Douluo. When Tang Hao considered fleeing, Zhang Lexuan revealed her extraordinary nine-ring configuration, leaving him horrified.
Zhang Lexuan trapped Lin Chuan and Tang Hao in her new domain, which drained opponents’ Soul Power and blocked their Martial Souls and Soul Rings. Lin Chuan offered Tang Hao his life in exchange for one arm and one leg, then handed him a rusty chopping blade, leaving Tang Hao horrified by the prospect of using it.
Tang Hao severed his own leg and arm to secure his release, but Lin Chuan used Zhang Lexuan to keep him captive and demanded that he recount what he had done to Ah Yin. Lin Chuan secretly prepared an Image-Recording Stone to record Tang Hao’s confession.
Lin Chuan forced Tang Hao to confess that he had pursued Ah Yin to obtain her hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and deliberately arranged for her sacrifice. After Lin Chuan left Zhang Lexuan alone with Tang Hao, Tang Hao realized his life was still in danger.
Zhang Lexuan rejected Tang Hao’s attempt to justify his schemes against a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and detonated her domain to kill him. Tang Hao’s pleas went unanswered, and the blood-red light consumed him completely.
Lin Chuan and Zhang Lexuan confirmed Tang Hao’s death and arranged to expose his treachery, before Zhang Lexuan kissed Lin Chuan and fled. Lin Chuan then teleported to Holy Soul Village, where Old Jack saw him appear at dusk.
Lin Chuan questioned Old Jack about a waterfall, then searched a hidden cave where Tang Hao had concealed Ah Yin. He found Ah Yin’s weakened Blue Silver Grass, and her remnant soul wondered whether Brother Hao had finally come to see her.
Lin Chuan showed Ah Yin evidence that Tang Hao had deceived her and taken her Soul Ring, driving her to despair before reviving her hope by claiming her child had been replaced by a stray ghost. He bought Creation Essence to help restore her cultivation, and Ah Yin eagerly sensed its powerful life force.
Lin Chuan restored Ah Yin’s hundred-thousand-year cultivation with Creation Essence, allowing her to take human form. After learning Tang Hao was already dead, Ah Yin asked what Lin Chuan meant when he said her child was no longer hers, and demanded to know who had taken the child’s place.
Lin Chuan told Ah Yin that Tang San’s soul had replaced her child’s, and Ah Yin vowed to strip away the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline from his body. When Ah Yin questioned Lin Chuan’s claim that she was his subject, he revealed his Qilin form and showed her that he was an Auspicious Beast, leaving her overwhelmed by his status and kindness.
Ah Yin thanked Lin Chuan for saving her and offered to stay by his side, while he gave her knowledge of the Heaven and Earth Great World. After Ah Yin entered that world, Lin Chuan teleported to Nuoding Academy and found Xiao Wu awake in Dorm Seven.
Lin Chuan comforted Xiao Wu as she grieved for her mother, then told her that her mother's soul might be restored if Xiao Wu became a god and recovered her mother's Soul Bone. The next morning, Lin Chuan set out to sabotage Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's hunt for Tang San's first Soul Ring, while Ah Yin recognized something familiar about Xiao Wu.
Lin Chuan explained Xiao Wu’s past to Ah Yin and arranged to expose Tang Hao’s crimes while preparing a trap for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang in the Soul Hunting Forest. As Tang San and Yu Xiaogang entered the forest, Yu Xiaogang pointed out bamboo soul beasts as possible Soul Rings for Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang took Tang San into the Soul Hunting Forest to search for a poison-attribute Soul Beast, keeping Lone Bamboo as a fallback. Lin Chuan held Ah Yin back from taking Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline until nightfall, while Ah Yin misread his gesture as affection; deeper in the forest, Yu Xiaogang noticed the lack of Soul Beasts but dismissed it.
Yu Xiaogang reassured Tang San that a powerful ally was protecting them, believing Tang Hao was nearby, while Lin Chuan and Ah Yin mocked his confidence because Tang Hao was dead. When a pack of Soul Beasts surrounded Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao and unleashed his first Soul Skill.
Yu Xiaogang’s first Soul Skill excited the surrounding Soul Beasts instead of repelling them, leaving him trapped as Tang San fled into a tree. Yu Xiaogang prayed for Tang Hao to rescue him while Tang San waited for the supposed hidden protector to intervene.
Yu Xiaogang was overwhelmed by the Soul Beasts while Tang San watched from a tree, torn between guilt and self-preservation. Lin Chuan transformed into a Qilin and spurred the beasts to intensify their attack, leaving Tang San to consider fleeing.
Lin Chuan knocked Tang San out of a tree, leaving him to be beaten alongside Yu Xiaogang by the Soul Beasts. After they were left unconscious, Ah Yin extracted Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and rose to level eighty-nine, while Lin Chuan promised to keep Tang San alive for her to kill later.
Ah Yin kissed Lin Chuan and whispered something that left him anticipating six years in the future. He then brought unconscious Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to a cave, summoned five goblins, and ordered them to attend to the pair; after the goblins slapped them awake, Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San's swollen face and began to gloat.
After the Goblins beat Yu Xiaogang and Tang San unconscious, Lin Chuan left them in the Soul Hunting Forest and outfitted Tang San with six Ten-Year Soul Bones and a Lone Bamboo Soul Ring. He planned to return to Nuoding Academy after giving Tang San a Blue Silver Pole soul skill.
Lin Chuan left after anticipating the power of his Blue Silver Pole Vault Soul Skill, while Yu Xiaogang and Tang San woke to discover that both had been mutilated. The chapter ended with the two despairing over their injuries and their futures.
