Chapter Summaries

Gu Yue subdued the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ remnant souls, allowing the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to submit to the Great Ci Tree King and Lu Jingming. When Lu Jingming struggled to harvest the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Gu Yue and Snow Empress both successfully claimed one, revealing the depth of their feelings for him.

• Gu Yue recognized the two dragon souls as remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings and subdued them, while realizing Lu Jingming had known they were there.
• The immortal herbs submitted after the dragon souls did, and Lu Jingming collected many mature herbs while leaving younger plants and seeds behind.
• Lu Jingming found that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red required the heart’s blood of someone devoted to pure love, and regretted not bringing Zhang Lexuan.
• Gu Yue offered her heart’s blood and successfully picked a Lovesick Heartbreak Red, surprising herself and everyone present.
• Snow Empress also picked a Lovesick Heartbreak Red after focusing on the person she liked, and her gaze briefly fell on Lu Jingming.

After the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well expedition, Lu Jingming gained new powers through the World Tree Sacred Mark, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy exchange students arrived at Saint Freya Academy. The exchange students began their entrance assessments, and Ji Juechen asked whether an S-Rank result would let him study swordsmanship with Snow Moon Douluo.

• Lu Jingming reflected on how to claim Lovesick Heartbreak Red and gained Ultimate Ice, Ultimate Fire, poison immunity, and spiritual-object perception through the World Tree Sacred Mark.
• Meng Hongchen and the others returned to Haiyuan City with Jing Hongchen, who formally exchanged students with Zhang Lexuan of Saint Freya Academy.
• Xuan Ziwen agreed to lead the exchange program, and Zhang Lexuan took the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy students to Saint Freya Academy.
• Zhang Lexuan explained that the exchange students would receive ordinary new-student treatment and be rated according to their performance in Holographic Strategy.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen resolved to earn S-Rank ratings, while Ji Juechen asked if an S-Rank result would earn him swordsmanship instruction from Snow Moon Douluo.

Ji Juechen joined the exchange program hoping to meet Jing Liu and receive her swordsmanship guidance, then entered a team challenge with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy students. The battle against six Black Tide monsters began, while Xuan Ziwen became absorbed in studying the Holographic Strategy equipment.

• Ji Juechen pursued the exchange program after learning that S-Rank students could receive Jing Liu's personal instruction.
• Zhang Lexuan sent the ten exchange students into a team instance where the Holographic Strategy would record their performances and rank them.
• Meng Hongchen, Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, and the other students encountered six Black Tide monsters in a ruined arena.
• The Black Tide General attacked, and Ji Juechen's sword qi failed to penetrate its defenses as the students formed up and deployed their Soul-Guided Cannon Array.
• The Black Tide monsters counterattacked with arrows, meteorite fragments, stealth attacks, and an axe strike while Zhang Lexuan watched from outside.
• Xuan Ziwen ignored the students' fight and eagerly examined the Holographic Strategy equipment.

Zhang Lexuan welcomed Xuan Ziwen’s interest in Haiyuan City’s research resources and considered how to recruit him and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy exchange students. The students’ Holographic Strategy trial ended in a total-party defeat, after which Zhang Lexuan assigned four of them A-Rank evaluations and the rest B-Rank.

• Zhang Lexuan assured Xuan Ziwen that he could study Haiyuan City’s Soul Tool Technology materials and privately planned to recruit him and the exchange students.
• Zhang Lexuan watched Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, Meng Hongchen, and the others fight Black Tide monsters as the invisible enemies killed six students.
• Xiao Hongchen narrowly avoided one attack but was killed, Jing Ziyan sacrificed herself to help Ji Juechen, and Ji Juechen destroyed the Black Tide Rotten Bow.
• Meng Hongchen saved Ji Juechen from a fatal blow, but both were soon overwhelmed and killed, ending the trial in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team’s annihilation.
• Zhang Lexuan rated Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Ji Juechen, and Jing Ziyan as A-Rank students and gave the other students B-Rank ratings.

Jing Liu trained Ji Juechen and Meng Hongchen in swordsmanship while San Yueqi traveled with Zhigeniao, Liu Ying, and Princess Vina. At Saint Freya Academy, Lu Jingming broke through to Soul Emperor and kissed Castorice, but Meng Hongchen caught them together.

• Jing Liu defeated Ji Juechen in a spar, and he thanked her for her extensive swordsmanship guidance.
• Meng Hongchen gained instruction from Jing Liu in swordsmanship and ice, while San Yueqi dined with Zhigeniao, Liu Ying, and Princess Vina in Heaven Dou City.

• Lu Jingming called Castorice his lucky star, embraced her, and kissed her as she shyly responded.
• Meng Hongchen arrived with a lunch box and caught Lu Jingming and Castorice kissing; Castorice tried to pull away, but Lu Jingming held her close.

Lu Jingming shared lunch with Castorice and Meng Hongchen after Meng witnessed their intimate moment, while Meng boldly asked him to feed her too. The chapter then described how Filth Points appeared across Douluo Continent, drawing the major powers into a race to clear them for valuable rewards.

• Lu Jingming stopped kissing Castorice, accepted the lunch Meng Hongchen had brought, and invited both women to eat with him.
• Lu Jingming fed Castorice a Golden Thread Shrimp Ball, and Meng Hongchen shyly asked him to feed her as well; he told her they would talk about it later.
• Filth Points began appearing across Douluo Continent, spawning Negative Energy Monsters and contaminating the land around them.
• Spirit Hall discovered that defeating all the monsters at a Filth Point made it disappear and produced treasures, including a fifty-thousand-year soul bone.
• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect obtained a Level Seven Soul Tool from a Filth Point, and major powers began offering rewards for information about new ones.

As Skywater Academy’s team traveled to Heaven Dou City for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, Shui Ming'er led them toward a newly formed Filth Point. Shui Bing'er took command as the team entered its corrupting black mist to clear the monsters within.

• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gained Soul Tools from clearing Filth Points and began researching how to make them.
• Shui Yue'er spotted black mist spreading from a nearby mountain range as Skywater Academy approached Heaven Dou City.
• Shui Ming'er identified the phenomenon as a newly formed Filth Point and decided to divert the team to clear it.
• Shui Ming'er ordered Shui Bing'er to command the team while she dealt with the core monster.
• Shui Bing'er led the team into the Filth Point, where Negative Energy began assailing them with distress and negative emotions.

Shui Bing'er and her group fought through a Filth Point filled with unusually well-equipped humanoid monsters, discovering that the Black Armored Soldiers wielded powerful Soul Tools. As the danger increased, Shui Ming'er left the group at the outskirts and headed alone toward the core to assess and attack it.

• Shui Bing'er and the others entered the Filth Point and protected themselves from its Negative Energy and negative emotions.
• Shui Ming'er warned the group that the humanoid monsters were unusual, and Shui Bing'er and the others fought Black Armored Soldiers armed with Soul Tools.
• Shui Bing'er used the monsters' dropped Soul Tools against them, while the group collected valuable Soul Tools and Soul Guiding Metal.
• As stronger soldiers appeared deeper inside, the group used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Shui Bing'er suffered a minor injury.
• Shui Ming'er told Shui Bing'er to wait at the outskirts and flew alone toward the Filth Point's core, leaving Shui Yue'er uneasy.

Shui Ming'er was killed by a blackened version of Lu Jingming, forcing Shui Bing'er and the Skywater Team to flee. Lu Jingming explained that he had planted the World Tree to draw out Douluo Star's Negative Energy and accelerate the planet's evolution, ultimately aiming to gain God King-level godhoods.

• Shui Ming'er warned Shui Bing'er to run before her Soul Power and Life Aura abruptly vanished, confirming her death.
• Shui Bing'er led Shui Yue'er and the Skywater Team away from the valley as a flaming figure crashed down nearby.
• Lu Jingming watched his blackened counterpart and the pink-haired girl who had killed Shui Ming'er, recognizing the Memory Cores' immense power.
• The Great Ci Tree King emerged, and Lu Jingming explained that the World Tree was drawing up the planet's Negative Energy so soul masters could purify it into positive energy.
• Lu Jingming revealed that he intended to help Douluo Star evolve and use the planet's feedback to condense God King-level Life and Wisdom godhoods, a plan he could pursue because this world's gods did not closely monitor the planet.

Lu Jingming explained why the planet had formed the dangerous Filth Point and watched Shui Bing'er’s group return to Heaven Dou City. Their report that Shui Ming'er had likely been killed prompted Huo Shi and Feng Ying to seek help, leaving her fate uncertain.

• Lu Jingming explained that the Great Ci Tree King and Raiden Makoto had agreed to his plan, and that the planet formed the Filth Point from its memories and his, using Haiyuan City as its blueprint.
• Lu Jingming warned that stronger corrupted monsters could emerge, recorded San Yueqi’s battle, and decided to let events unfold without intervening.
• Shui Bing'er and the other Skywater Academy students entered Heaven Dou City and hurried to their hotel, where Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian noticed their distress and followed.
• Shui Bing'er told Huo Shi and Feng Ying that Shui Ming'er had likely died inside the Filth Point, leaving both men shocked.
• Huo Shi wanted to rush to rescue Shui Ming'er, but Feng Ying restrained him and took Shui Bing'er to seek help from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, noticed Lu Jingming in Heaven Dou City and invited him to meet. Their conversation left her intrigued by his confidence and mysterious origins, and she began probing for more information.

• Feng Ying and the others spread news that Skywater Academy had lost a Soul Sage at the Filth Point to draw powerful experts and improve their chances of rescuing Shui Ming'er.
• Xue Qinghe declined Uncle She’s offer to clear the Filth Point and instead ordered Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue to invite Lu Jingming to the restaurant.
• Lu Jingming sensed Porcupine Douluo’s spiritual pressure, briefly refused to go with him, then agreed to meet his young master.
• Lu Jingming met Xue Qinghe and recognized her true identity as Qian Renxue beneath her disguise.
• Xue Qinghe tried to recruit Lu Jingming, but he said he was from the Star Luo Empire and answered her questions with calm confidence.
• Xue Qinghe grew more curious about Lu Jingming and asked his name and whether he had any elders with him.

Lu Jingming met Xue Qinghe and Princess Xue Ke, then joined them and Ning Fengzhi’s group on their way to investigate a Filth Point. As they departed, Lu Jingming reflected on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s costly alliances and the misjudgments that would shape its future.

• Lu Jingming impressed Xue Qinghe with his confidence and knowledge, leading Xue Qinghe to consider recruiting him as an ally.
• Xue Ke entered and asked Xue Qinghe to take her to the Filth Point, then warmly greeted Lu Jingming.
• Xue Qinghe invited Lu Jingming to join them, and the three went to meet Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to bring Xue Qinghe, Xue Ke, and Lu Jingming to the Filth Point.
• Lu Jingming reflected that Ning Fengzhi’s reliance on Xue Qinghe and past alliances would ultimately cost the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dearly.

Lu Jingming revealed that Snow Moon Douluo was his swordsmanship master, prompting Sword Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to treat him with new respect. As the group traveled toward the Filth Point, Lu declined Xue Qinghe’s offer to compete in the Soul Master Competition, while Ning Fengzhi reflected on the sect’s future and Lu’s strength; Bone Douluo then spotted Shrek Academy on the road.

• Sword Douluo recognized Lu Jingming’s Sword Intent and asked who had taught him, and Lu said his master was Snow Moon.
• Sword Douluo eagerly asked where Snow Moon was, but Lu said they would meet her another time, and Ning Fengzhi warmly invited Lu to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo discussed the sect’s troubles, Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Lu’s likely strength.
• Xue Qinghe offered to arrange for Lu to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s team, but Lu declined because the competition would be too easy for him.
• As the carriages headed toward the Filth Point, Bone Douluo spotted Shrek Academy traveling out of Heaven Dou City.

Ning Rongrong, Xue Qinghe, and the Shrek group joined the expedition into a rapidly spreading Filth Point near Heaven Dou City, where they battled increasingly dangerous monsters. After Huo Shi killed Black Ye Wuqing and found a soul bone, a pink-haired archer launched a deadly hailstorm at the group.

• Ning Rongrong recognized Lu Jingming and told the gathered leaders how his simulated counterpart had defeated the Shrek Seven Devils, while Tang San showed hostility toward him.
• Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, Dugu Bo, and the academies' forces reached the valley and saw that its black mist and contamination were spreading at an alarming rate.
• The group entered the valley, fought Black Armored Golden Guards and concealed attackers, and advanced toward the trapped Shui Ming'er.
• Huo Shi killed Black Yu Mengdi and then defeated Black Ye Wuqing, whose death left behind a hundred-year soul bone that Huo Shi collected.
• The prospect of rare drops drove Flender, Zhao Wuji, Huo Shi, and other Soul Sages to press deeper into the valley and attack more monsters.
• A pink-haired girl with six soul rings fired an ice-blue arrow into the sky, unleashing a hailstorm of arrows and ice over the group.

The Soul Masters reached the Filth Point’s core and found thousands of Black Armored Soldiers, including corrupted Shui Ming'er and powerful black doubles of Lu Jingming’s companions. As Dugu Bo fought Black Jing Xi and Bone Douluo saved Meng Shenji from Black Liu Ying, the raiding party faced a battle far more dangerous than expected.

• Meng Shenji led the Soul Masters into the valley, where they found thousands of Black Armored Soldiers and discovered Shui Ming'er had been corrupted into a monster.
• Dugu Bo charged toward the core, but Black Jing Xi emerged and fought his attack to a draw with her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and time-enhanced power.
• The black mist cleared to reveal Lu Jingming’s white-haired double seated on a Black Throne, surrounded by other powerful black doubles.
• Black San Yueqi froze Bai Baoshan inside an iceberg, while Black Liu Ying attacked Meng Shenji and Bone Douluo intervened, suffering a burn as he drove her back.

Black Zhigeniao’s support reversed the battle against the Douluo experts, while Sword Douluo attacked her and clashed with Black Lu Jingming. Lu Jingming warned Xue Qinghe that Sword Douluo could defeat his copy but would struggle to kill him.

• Black Liu Ying broke through Bone Douluo’s defense with her sixth soul skill, but Black Gu Yue and Black San Yueqi joined her, and the fight against Bone Douluo remained unresolved.
• Ning Fengzhi enhanced Dugu Bo, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and the others with his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, allowing Dugu Bo to petrify Black Jing Xi and push back the attackers.
• Black San Yueqi freed Black Jing Xi from petrification, and Black Zhigeniao boosted the blackened group, raising their cultivation to Soul Sage and shifting the battle back in their favor.
• Sword Douluo attacked Black Zhigeniao, but Black Xia Die blocked his strike and weakened him with her River of the Underworld domain.
• Black Lu Jingming clashed with Sword Douluo using a spear, prompting Xue Qinghe to question Lu Jingming about his sword practice and unusual Soul Rings.
• Xue Qinghe asked what they should do next, and Lu Jingming said Sword Douluo could defeat his copy but would find it difficult to kill him.

Lu Jingming realized the Blackened Troupe’s recovery and life-link abilities made the Filth Point nearly impossible to clear, while the battle turned against the defenders. After Zhao Wuji was killed and the surviving students fled, Tang Hao arrived to protect Tang San and began fighting Black San Yueqi and Black Xia Die.

• Lu Jingming explained that Black Lu Jingming and the Blackened Troupe could revive, recover, and share life, leaving Qian Daoliu as perhaps the only person capable of cleansing the Filth Point.
• Zhi Lin and Meng Shenji joined the battle as Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the Golden Sacred Dragon fought the Blackened Troupe; Lu Jingming shielded Xue Qinghe, Xue Ke, and Ning Fengzhi from falling meteor fragments.
• Black San Yueqi struck Zhao Wuji with her Star-Shattering Void Great Glazed Sword Technique, and Black Xia Die killed him with her scythe.
• Black Lu Jingming launched an Electromagnetic Gun that blasted Sword Douluo into a mountain, prompting the academy teachers to evacuate their students.
• Xiao Wu used Invincible Golden Body to block Black San Yueqi’s sword qi, but Tang Hao arrived and shattered the attack with his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang Hao told Tang San to flee, unleashed Haotian True Body, and swung his giant hammer toward Black San Yueqi and Black Xia Die.

Black Lu Jingming unleashed his Self Soul Fusion Skill against Tang Hao, who survived the attack only to be gravely wounded by Black Castorice as the survivors fled the Filth Point. After escaping, the group discovered that Tang Hao was being consumed by death power and that Shui Ming'er’s shattered heart left her with little hope of survival.

• Black Lu Jingming merged his twin lances and locked Sacred Lance Bloom onto Tang Hao, who used Ring Explosion to block it before Black Castorice cut him with her death-infused scythe.
• Tang Hao grabbed Tang San and Xiao Wu and fled, while Dugu Bo, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, Flender, and the others rescued their allies and escaped the Filth Point, leaving many dead behind.
• Lu Jingming concluded that Tang Hao’s wound would steadily drain his life unless someone with the power to remove Black Castorice’s death energy intervened.
• Tang San found that the death power was consuming Tang Hao’s life force, while Flender mourned Zhao Wuji’s death.
• Meng Shenji explained that Shui Ming’er’s soul remained trapped in her body but her shattered heart would cause her soul to vanish when the Negative Energy dissipated.
• Ye Lingling healed Shui Ming’er’s other injuries, but her Nine Heart Begonia could not repair the fatal wound in her heart.

Lu Jingming used his White Knight Lance’s Life Reconstruction to restore Shui Ming’er’s shattered body, and she was expected to awaken once the Negative Energy dissipated. His healing drew offers of support for his planned merchant association, while Shrek Academy’s attempts to save Zhao Wuji and Tang Hao remained unresolved.

• Ye Lingling identified Lu Jingming’s second Martial Soul as a healing power superior to the Nine Heart Begonia, and Shui Bing’er, Feng Ying, and Huo Shi asked him to save Shui Ming’er.
• Lu Jingming revealed the White Knight Lance and used its fourth Soul Skill, Life Reconstruction, to regenerate Shui Ming’er’s heart and body.
• Lu Jingming said Shui Ming’er would awaken after the Negative Energy dissipated, and Shui Bing’er offered Skywater Academy’s help with his merchant association.
• Feng Ying, Huo Shi, Xue Qinghe, and Ning Fengzhi offered support for Lu Jingming’s plans, and Lu Jingming accepted their goodwill.
• Ning Rongrong asked Lu Jingming to save Tang Hao and Zhao Wuji, but he said he could not treat Tang Hao’s death-energy corruption and would only try to heal Zhao Wuji if his soul remained intact and he was brought out.
• Liu Erlong prepared to enter the Filth Point for Zhao Wuji, but Flender and Yu Xiaogang stopped her; Xiao Wu offered Tang San the Lovesick Heartbreak Red for Tang Hao, and Tang San said it could not remove the death energy.

Filth Points and their corrupted forces spread across the continent as Black Chi Yuan fought Spirit Hall’s strongest defenders, Black Kevin battled the King of Slaughter, and Oser defeated the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. The chapter left Sea God Island facing an approaching threat after Xiao Bai warned Bo Saixi that the whale king had been defeated.

• Xue Qinghe returned to Heaven Dou City while Lu Jingming stayed behind to work with Skywater Academy, and Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo warned him about the danger at the Filth Point.
• Qian Daoliu failed to defeat Black Chi Yuan despite using the Angel God’s power, and he decided that Qian Renxue would need to begin her divine trial early.
• Bibi Dong ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to reinforce the forces containing the Filth Point near Spirit City.
• Black Kevin destroyed much of the City of Slaughter, froze and struck down the King of Slaughter, and summoned the Emperor-class Calamity Beast Pavarti as their battle continued.

• Xiao Bai reached Bo Saixi and warned her that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had been defeated.
