Chapter Summaries

Gu Yang and Bone Douluo tested their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Corpse Bone Ghost Dragon, and overwhelmed Sword Douluo before the spar ended. Later, Ning Fengzhi asked Gu Yang to accompany Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy, leaving Gu Yang reluctant but offered his choice of the sect’s Soul Bones and any other compensation.

• Gu Yang and Bone Douluo’s Corpse Bone Ghost Dragon clashed with Sword Douluo, leaving the mountain devastated and Sword Douluo badly injured while the fusion beast remained intact.
• Bone Douluo taunted Sword Douluo about winning with Gu Yang’s help, and Gu Yang judged that the spar had shown the fusion skill’s strength without proving it would win a real fight.
• After time passed, Ning Fengzhi summoned Gu Yang and explained that he planned to send twelve-year-old Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Gu Yang to accompany Ning Rongrong because she was so attached to him that she might refuse to go without him.
• Gu Yang objected that the trip would disrupt his cultivation, so Ning Fengzhi offered him a choice of the sect’s Soul Bones and promised to grant his other requests.

Gu Yang asked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to help him obtain a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger for his fifth Soul Ring. After the sect found the beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ning Fengzhi proposed using Gu Yang’s Dark Devil Tiger presence to lure it out.

• Gu Yang told Ning Fengzhi he had reached Soul Power Level fifty and asked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to help him hunt a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Ning Fengzhi warned that the beast was rare and dangerous, but Gu Yang insisted that it existed in the Star Dou Great Forest and was the right choice for his fifth Soul Ring.
• Ning Fengzhi mobilized the sect’s disciples to search the Star Dou Great Forest, and after more than a month they found traces of the tiger.
• Ning Fengzhi marked a broad search area on a map, while Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo noted the risks of searching for the powerful beast there.
• Ning Fengzhi proposed that Gu Yang lure out the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger because his Dark Devil Tiger Soul Ring and Soul Bone gave him a scent that would challenge its territory.

Gu Yang and Bone Douluo lured the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger out of hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest. The beast attacked Gu Yang and used a black hole to drag them both away, leaving Bone Douluo behind.

• Gu Yang repeatedly used his Dark Devil Tiger abilities to draw out the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the beast finally appeared from the shadows.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger recognized Gu Yang as a threat and coveted the power it could gain by devouring him.
• Bone Douluo confronted the beast, but it blocked his spiritual lock with its hooked tail and attacked with its domain and Dark Demon Evil Thunder.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger used its thunder attack as a feint, then slipped past Bone Douluo and charged at Gu Yang.
• The beast ignored Bone Douluo's claw and opened a huge black hole that pulled Gu Yang and itself inside.

Gu Yang defeated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger inside its Life and Death Arena by using Holy Dragon's Protection to resist its age-regression effect. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, he stopped a black hole from swallowing a strange pearl that emerged from the tiger's corpse.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lured Gu Yang into its Life and Death Arena, where the arena shrank the tiger but failed to turn Gu Yang into a child.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger attacked Gu Yang, but Gu Yang restrained it with a bone whip and revealed that Holy Dragon's Protection had blocked the arena's suppression.
• Gu Yang killed the shrunken Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the arena returned him to the Star Dou Great Forest beside the tiger's restored corpse.
• Bone Douluo questioned Gu Yang, then offered to guard him while he absorbed the tiger's Soul Ring, but Gu Yang asked him to wait.
• A black pearl appeared from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, and Gu Yang used bone whips to pull it away from the black hole before the hole closed.

Gu Yang absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring, raising his Soul Power to rank fifty-seven, then swallowed its Innate Evil God Pearl. He emerged from the pearl’s transformation with a new, unsettling presence and was pleased with what he had gained.

• Bone Douluo searched the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s corpse but found no Soul Bone, and Gu Yang explained that its power was held in the Innate Evil God Pearl.
• Gu Yang absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s 65,271-year Soul Ring while using the Scripture of Supreme Mystery and Holy Dragon’s Protection to withstand its power.
• Gu Yang completed the absorption and reached rank fifty-seven in Soul Power.
• Gu Yang used blood to activate the Innate Evil God Pearl, then swallowed it and underwent a transformation inside a black cocoon.
• Bone Douluo sensed an unfamiliar, oppressive presence in Gu Yang, who suppressed it and said his gains matched those from the Dark Devil Tiger.

Gu Yang explained the abilities he gained from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s natal Evil God Pearl to Bone Douluo. He revealed that his Soul Power had reached level sixty, leaving Bone Douluo stunned by how powerful the new skills made him.

• Gu Yang demonstrated Flying Evil God Seal, which let him teleport to any location where one of his bones was placed, and explained how it could bring him back to allies or help him escape danger.
• Gu Yang revealed Evil God Domain, which doubled opponents’ Soul Power consumption, drained their Soul Power, and replenished his own.
• Gu Yang explained that Time Rewind could return his personal state to a point in the past, letting him undo injuries by rewinding only a few hours, minutes, or days.
• Bone Douluo realized that Gu Yang’s teleportation, time reversal, and Soul Power-draining domain made him exceptionally difficult to defeat.
• Gu Yang told Bone Douluo that his Soul Power had reached level sixty and that the Evil God Pearl would improve his cultivation speed.

Ning Rongrong persuaded Gu Yang to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with her and travel to Shrek Academy, though he knew the sect’s Soul Masters were secretly following them. They reached the academy and joined its admissions line, where Gu Yang recognized several familiar figures and sensed they were being watched.

• Ning Rongrong invited Gu Yang to visit an academy she had heard was better than Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he agreed after considering Ning Fengzhi’s help in hunting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Ning Rongrong and Gu Yang secretly left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Gu Yang sensed at least twenty Soul Masters following them.
• After three days of travel, Gu Yang and Ning Rongrong arrived in Suotuo City and went directly to Shrek Academy.
• Gu Yang sensed someone watching them from a village house, but found no one when he looked toward it.
• Gu Yang joined the admissions line and recognized Xiao Wu and Nai Zhu among the applicants.

Gu Yang and Ning Rongrong arrived at Shrek Academy, where Flender revealed their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect identities to intimidate a complaining parent and promote the school. After the admissions tests, they joined Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing as the only new students to proceed to the final test.

• Gu Yang and Ning Rongrong waited in line, and the registration teacher announced Shrek Academy's strict age, Soul Power, and Soul Ring requirements.
• A parent challenged the academy for letting Gu Yang and Ning Rongrong skip the tests, and Flender announced their identities and abilities as Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect prodigies.
• The parent withdrew after Flender invoked the sect's reputation, while Xiao Wu felt uneasy under Gu Yang's gaze and Zhu Zhuqing noticed Ning Rongrong's hostility.
• Only Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing passed the admissions assessment besides Gu Yang and Ning Rongrong.
• Flender sent Dai Mubai to lead the five new students to the final test, where an unshaven man offered them grilled sausages.

Gu Yang impressed Zhao Wuji with his defense of Oscar’s sausages and was exempted from the academy’s assessment, while the other new students failed Zhao Wuji’s trial. Afterward, Gu Yang asked to take leave for months or longer, and Ning Rongrong insisted she would leave with him, prompting Flender to emerge in alarm.

• Ning Rongrong bought sausages from Oscar, but Dai Mubai made Oscar demonstrate his Soul Skill before she ate them.
• Gu Yang ate Oscar’s sausage, defended him against the others’ disgust, and impressed Zhao Wuji enough to skip the assessment.
• Zhao Wuji announced that the remaining applicants had to withstand him for one incense stick, then displayed his seven Soul Rings.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong failed the trial, though Zhao Wuji allowed them to enroll and sent Dai Mubai to show them their lodgings.
• Gu Yang asked Zhao Wuji for leave lasting months or longer, and Ning Rongrong said she would leave with him.
• Flender emerged from hiding when he heard Ning Rongrong might leave, worried that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had not paid the final amount.

Gu Yang demanded a long leave from Shrek Academy, and Flender agreed to approve it if he could defeat Zhao Wuji. Gu Yang revealed astonishing Soul Rings and defeated Zhao Wuji in a devastating explosion, winning the challenge.

• Gu Yang told Flender he needed a long leave and said Shrek Academy had nothing to teach him.
• Flender challenged Gu Yang to last one incense stick against Zhao Wuji, but Gu Yang said he would leave only if he defeated Zhao outright.
• Gu Yang and Zhao Wuji faced off as the others cleared the central area.
• Gu Yang revealed two purple and three black Soul Rings, then used Fear Roar to stun everyone and bound Zhao Wuji with a jointed bone whip.
• Gu Yang detonated the whip, blasting a huge crater and leaving Zhao Wuji bloodied and kneeling; Zhao conceded the win.

Gu Yang left Ning Rongrong at Shrek Academy after persuading her to stay and train, then returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with news about Clear Sky Douluo. He told Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo that he believed he had found traces of Tang Hao.

• Gu Yang explained that Zhao Wuji’s wounds from their fight were superficial, while Tang Hao’s earlier attack had caused internal injuries, and Flender insisted Ning Rongrong could leave only if she defeated Zhao Wuji.
• Gu Yang persuaded Ning Rongrong to stay at Shrek Academy, promising her a bone fragment she could tap twice to summon him if something happened.
• Gu Yang warned Ning Rongrong to make progress at the academy and pointed out the strength of Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar.
• After settling Ning Rongrong into the academy, Gu Yang used the Flying Evil God Seal to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Gu Yang told Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo that he believed he had found traces of Tang Hao.

Gu Yang told Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo that Tang San was Tang Hao’s son and that Tang Hao was likely watching over him, claiming Tang San’s mother had been a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast. Convinced the account might be true and eager to investigate Tang Hao’s power and treasures, Ning Fengzhi sent Gu Yang back to Shrek Academy and prepared to follow.

• Gu Yang explained that Tang San’s surname, Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Silver Grass, and age led him to identify Tang San as Tang Hao’s son and suspect Tang Hao was nearby.
• Gu Yang cited the Clear Sky Secret Records to connect Tang Hao with a Blue Silver Grass woman and claimed she had been a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast who might have been Tang San’s mother.
• Gu Yang speculated that Tang Hao possessed a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, as well as the Clear Sky Sect’s inherited Soul Bones.
• Ning Fengzhi decided to investigate in person and ordered Gu Yang to return to Shrek Academy and watch discreetly; Gu Yang used his Fifth Soul Skill to go back ahead of them.
• After Gu Yang left, Ning Fengzhi told Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo that the cited passage was not actually in the sect records, but he still believed Gu Yang’s account was likely true.

Tang Hao was confronted by Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, who sought his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone and the Clear Sky Sect’s inherited Soul Bones. When negotiations failed, Tang Hao and Sword Douluo unleashed their strongest attacks, leaving their clash unresolved.

• Tang Hao encountered Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo in the woods near Shrek Academy and revealed his identity.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Tang Hao whether Spirit Hall had sought a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and Tang Hao refused to answer.
• Tang Hao attacked with his Clear Sky Hammer, but Bone Douluo deflected the blow and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect trio saw Tang Hao’s red Soul Ring.
• Sword Douluo challenged Tang Hao after their weapons clashed, and Tang Hao activated Ring Detonation and launched Sumeru Overwhelms the Heavens.
• Sword Douluo transformed into his Seven Kill Sword and struck at Tang Hao with a powerful sword slash.

Sword Douluo and Tang Hao fought in the woods, and Tang Hao’s injuries left him near death. After his attempt to kill Ning Fengzhi was thwarted by Gu Yang, Sword Douluo struck Tang Hao down.

• Flender and Zhao Wuji noticed the battle, while Xiao Wu recognized the terrifying presences and Tang San felt an ominous sense of loss.
• Sword Douluo emerged unharmed from the clash as Tang Hao’s hidden injuries worsened and left him barely able to stand.
• Tang Hao hurled his Clear Sky Hammer at Ning Fengzhi, using Bone Douluo’s interception to redirect it toward its true target.
• Gu Yang protected Ning Fengzhi with his Fifth Soul Skill, and Ning Fengzhi’s defensive amplification helped the half-humanoid skeleton withstand the hammer strike.
• Sword Douluo’s Seven Kill Sword Qi pierced Tang Hao, who died regretting the trouble he had brought upon the Clear Sky Sect.

Gu Yang claimed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from Tang Hao’s spoils and forcibly absorbed it despite its resistance. The fusion strengthened his vitality and revealed that the bone granted him three skills under Shikotsumyaku’s influence.

• Ning Fengzhi offered Tang Hao’s seven Soul Bones to Gu Yang, but Gu Yang chose only the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone for now.
• Bone Douluo urged Gu Yang to absorb Tang Hao’s full Soul Bone set, while Ning Fengzhi supported Gu Yang’s decision to wait for better bones.
• The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone rejected Gu Yang, but he used Shikotsumyaku to suppress its will and fuse with it.
• After absorbing the bone, Gu Yang’s meridians turned faint blue and his body’s vitality increased.
• Gu Yang sensed that the genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone gave him three skills under Shikotsumyaku’s influence.

After absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Gu Yang discovered its three skills and demonstrated its growing attack power. His Soul Bone Fusion Skill transformed into a larger, fully fleshed-out form, and a timid voice addressed him as its king.

• Gu Yang awoke from absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and Ning Fengzhi explained that it had purged impurities and renewed his body.
• Gu Yang told Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo that the bone granted flight, bodily self-repair, and the attack skill Blue Silver Radiance.
• Gu Yang demonstrated Blue Silver Radiance by gathering energy from nearby Blue Silver Grass and blasting a distant hill flat.
• Gu Yang explained that Blue Silver Radiance could keep gathering energy across the continent and that Time Rewind and self-repair could help him withstand interruptions.
• Gu Yang revealed his Soul Bone Fusion Skill, which had gained legs, grown fully fleshed, and expanded to several meters tall.
• A timid voice entered Gu Yang's mind and asked, "My king, is that you?"

Gu Yang reached the Blue Silver Forest with Bone Douluo and convinced the Blue Silver King that he carried the Blue Silver Emperor’s bloodline. The forest’s Blue Silver power began awakening that bloodline, leaving a blue halo around Gu Yang as a new Soul Ring started to form.

• Gu Yang followed the Blue Silver Grass’s spiritual signals toward the Blue Silver Forest, and an ancient voice addressed him as its king.
• Gu Yang asked Bone Douluo to wait outside the forest, then followed the voice to the Blue Silver King.
• Gu Yang feigned confusion as the Blue Silver King identified the noble Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him.
• The Blue Silver King and the forest’s Blue Silver Grass gathered their power to help awaken Gu Yang’s bloodline.
• Blue light surrounded Gu Yang, his five Soul Rings appeared, and the outline of a sixth Soul Ring began to condense.
