• Most Sea Soul Masters fled overseas or surrendered, while Yu Xiaogang and the other land-based Soul Masters faced a perilous escape by sea.

After the Strength Clan and Shrek Academy split up, Tang San advanced through the remaining Sea God trials, earning powerful new abilities and becoming a candidate for Sea God Island’s next Great Enshrined. He ended the chapter trapped on the island, watched by Bo Saixi and facing a perilous escape if he returned to the continent.

• Tai Nuo and Tai Tan split the remaining Strength Clan, while the former Golden Iron Triangle and Shrek Academy’s other members made their own plans; two ships sailed in different directions.

• Bo Saixi kept watch over Tang San on Sea God Island, where he felt trapped and feared the dangers awaiting him if he escaped to the continent.

Bo Saixi warned Tang San that the Spirit Hall Empire ruled the continent and urged him to stay on Sea God Island, but he remained determined to take revenge and refused to heed her warning about Yang Podi. She told him the Clear Sky Sect had been destroyed, his teacher and other survivors had vanished after fleeing Vast Sea City, and they could not join the island without passing its trials.

• Bo Saixi told Tang San that the Spirit Hall Empire had unified the continent and offered him protection and a future position on Sea God Island, but Tang San insisted he would avenge his parents and overthrow the empire.

• Bo Saixi warned Tang San not to oppose Heavenly Pursuit Academy or Yang Podi, but Tang San blamed the Breaking Clan and Defense Clan for leaving the Clear Sky Sect, and rejected her account of the conflict.
• Bo Saixi said the Clear Sky Sect had been wiped out, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were missing, and Yu Xiaogang and fewer than a hundred survivors had fled toward Vast Sea City before escaping by ship.
• Tang San asked Bo Saixi to let Yu Xiaogang and the others join Sea God Island, but she refused because Yu Xiaogang was too weak to pass the island's trial.

Tang San arranged an escape from Sea God Island by pretending to search for Soul Rings, then reunited with Yu Xiaogang’s party and carried out a deadly diversion. Bai He and the Speed Clan flew Tang San and his companions toward Vast Sea City while Sea Dragon Douluo pursued the wrong trail.

• Tang San decided to flee Sea God Island and obtained permission from Bo Saixi to leave on a Soul Ring hunt, while she secretly ordered Xiao Bai’s clan to watch over his group.

• Sea Dragon Douluo resumed the pursuit, but Tang San and his companions had already been flying for three days and were nearing Vast Sea City.

Tang San and his companions slipped out of Vast Sea City and split up, while Yang Podi faced pressure to decide whether Heavenly Pursuit Academy should accept outsiders. The chapter ended with the academy’s elders debating the request from Flender, Tai Nuo, and their allies.

• Tang San’s group bypassed Vast Sea City’s strict defenses and headed toward Mount Aermo, while Tang San and Xiao Wu set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Yang Podi and Qian Renxue’s relationship deepened, but his life with her and Ye Lingling became complicated as his family worried about marriage and children.
• Yang Wudi summoned Yang Podi to a meeting attended by Flender, Zhao Wuji, Tai Nuo, and the academy’s senior members.
• Yang Wudi asked whether Flender, Tai Nuo, and the others could join Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and Yang Podi said they should follow the academy’s rules.
• Niu Gao urged Yang Podi to make an exception because the visitors had ties to them and needed protection from the Spirit Hall Empire.

Yang Podi set strict terms for Flender, Tai Nuo, and their companions to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy, including cutting ties with the Spirit Hall Empire’s enemies and obeying academy rules. Everyone agreed to join as ordinary teachers, and Yang Podi left after learning they had no news of Tang San.

• Yang Podi told Flender that he and his teachers could join only if they severed ties with the Upper Three Sects and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and obeyed the academy’s rules.
• Yang Podi assured Zhao Wuji that the academy would protect him from the Spirit Hall Empire, but warned Flender to cut contact with Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong.

After learning that Bibi Dong had killed Da Ming and Er Ming, Xiao Wu grieved while Tang San’s rage triggered a powerful new ability to devour Soul Beasts. He chose to exploit that ability to grow stronger and prepare for revenge against the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong, and Yang Podi.

• Xiao Wu learned from the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest that Bibi Dong had killed Da Ming and Er Ming, and Tang San comforted her as they mourned.
• Tang San lost control and his Blue Silver Grass devoured several Soul Beasts, absorbing their Soul Power, flesh, blood, and bones before he regained his senses.
• Tang San and Xiao Wu vowed to avenge their dead family, but Tang San refused to go to Heavenly Pursuit Academy until they had become stronger.
• After discovering that devouring life force increased his Soul Power, Tang San tested the ability on a thousand-year willow and decided to use it to reach Titled Douluo strength.
• Despite knowing the consequences of devouring Soul Beasts, Tang San resolved to continue, setting his sights on Bibi Dong and Yang Podi.

Tang San rapidly increased his Soul Power by devouring Soul Beasts, but the tainted power changed his Blue Silver Grass and began corrupting his body and soul. After breaking through to Titled Douluo, he sought more Soul Rings, and Xiao Wu told him about several powerful Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Tang San ignored Xiao Wu’s warning and spent five days absorbing more than twenty Soul Beasts, reaching the peak of level 89 as his Blue Silver Grass darkened and his soul grew more bloodthirsty.

• Tang San told Xiao Wu he felt better than ever and asked whether the Star Dou Great Forest held any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Xiao Wu warned Tang San to consolidate his cultivation, then told him about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, three Qian Jun Ants, and a Heaven Swallowing Sparrow that even Da Ming and Er Ming could not handle.

Tang San hunted Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring and the mysterious Evil God Pearl, and rose to level 98. He left the forest intent on revenge, unaware that Di Tian had watched and guided events as part of the Lord's ten-thousand-year plan.

• Tang San and Xiao Wu found and killed the weakened Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while Di Tian captured its escaping Evil God Pearl and gave it to Tang San.
• Tang San absorbed the tiger's Soul Ring, and the Evil God Pearl merged into it, strengthening Tang San and raising him to level 92.
• Over the next month, Tang San and Xiao Wu hunted powerful Soul Beasts, and Tang San gained eight Clear Sky Hammer Soul Rings, several Soul Bones, and reached level 98.
• Tang San concluded that he needed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s power to break through to level 99, then left the Star Dou Great Forest to begin his revenge.
• Di Tian revealed that he had observed Tang San and Xiao Wu and considered Tang San the chosen candidate for the Lord's ten-thousand-year plan.

The Evil God King noticed Tang San absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s power and secretly sent him energy as a chance to become his successor, despite Asura’s warning. Meanwhile, the Shrek group settled comfortably into Heavenly Pursuit Academy, while Yang Podi guarded its secrets and wondered what choice his Godly Trial demanded.

• The Evil God King saw Tang San absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring and Evil God Pearl, then sent energy into Tang San’s brow after deciding to give him a chance as a potential successor.
• Asura warned the Evil God King not to interfere with Douluo Star, and the Evil God King replied that he knew his limits.
• Tai Tan, Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai, and the others arrived near the Far North and hurried toward Mount Aermo to reunite with the other group.
• Flender became Heavenly Pursuit Academy’s chief flying instructor, and the Shrek teachers grew comfortable with the academy’s high pay, spacious grounds, and few outside distractions.
• Tai Nuo reunited with Yang Zhentian and Niu Mang, but Yang Podi restricted the Strength Clan’s access to academy secrets and arranged strict security for the Soul Tool Research Academy.
• Yang Podi reflected that his Godly Trial seemed to demand a choice concerning humanity, Soul Beasts, and the world’s development.

Yang Podi sensed that events across Douluo Continent were accelerating and urged Qian Renxue to finish her Angel God's trials. Meanwhile, Tang San reunited with Yu Xiaogang and the others, whose concern grew as Tang San's devouring left him volatile and seemingly close to becoming a Fallen Soul Master.

• Yang Podi urged Qian Renxue to return to Spirit City and complete the Angel God's trials quickly.
• Tang San reunited with Yu Xiaogang, Tai Tan, and Bai He, who were encouraged by his level 98 Soul Power and powerful Clear Sky Hammer Soul Rings.
• Yu Xiaogang suggested seeking an alliance with Heavenly Pursuit Academy, but Tang San reacted with fury and black Qi rose from his body.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San that devouring life force had made him resemble a Fallen Soul Master, but Tang San insisted he would stop at nothing to gain strength and seek revenge.
• Xiao Wu calmed Tang San, who realized he had nearly killed Yu Xiaogang and asked how to recover from his condition.
• Yu Xiaogang said Tang Yuehua's Noble Domain could no longer help and proposed visiting Heavenly Pursuit Academy with Tai Tan and Bai He.

Yu Xiaogang, Tai Tan, and Bai He went to Heavenly Pursuit Academy and tried to discuss Bibi Dong’s ambitions with Yang Podi, but he rejected their approach and blasted them out of the academy. Yang Podi suspected their visit was backed by Tang San or Black Dragon Di Tian, and the chapter ended with a great battle looming.

• Yu Xiaogang told Tai Tan and Bai He that Tang San’s condition was unlikely to improve, though the Angel Temple might offer a faint chance.
• Yang Podi attended a meeting at Heavenly Pursuit Academy, where Yu Xiaogang warned him that Bibi Dong might target the academy after unifying the continent.

• Yang Podi told Yang Zhentian that the visitors might have backing from Tang San or Black Dragon Di Tian, and said Tai Tan and Bai He were certain to die soon.

Ning Fengzhi decided that he and the two guardian Douluos had to prove their loyalty to Heavenly Pursuit Academy by killing Tai Tan and Bai He, while sparing Yu Xiaogang because of his connection to Bibi Dong. They ambushed the three after they fled the academy, and the chapter ended as Bone Douluo intercepted Bai He and Sword Douluo attacked Tai Tan with Ning Fengzhi’s full support.

• Ning Fengzhi told Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo that Tai Tan and Bai He had to die, while Yu Xiaogang had to be spared to avoid provoking the Spirit Hall Empire.
• Ning Fengzhi insisted that all three of them act together as their pledge of allegiance to Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo agreed.
• After traveling more than a hundred kilometers from the academy, Yu Xiaogang, Tai Tan, and Bai He were ambushed by Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo.
• Tai Tan fought back with his Eighth Soul Skill while Bai He fled, but Bone Douluo used a black door to block his path.
• Sword Douluo attacked Tai Tan with his Seven Kill Sword as Ning Fengzhi empowered both Douluos, intending to end the fight quickly.
