Chapter Summaries

Yu Xuan and Yu Xiaogang attended the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Martial Soul Awakening ceremony, where Yu Xiaogang awakened a Golden Sacred Dragon instead of the expected Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. The elders celebrated the apparent mutation, while Yu Yuanzhen worried that Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul had not yet taken its final form.

• Yu Xuan worried that he might awaken the same Luo Sanpao as his twin brother, while Yu Xiaogang confidently anticipated a powerful Martial Soul.
• Yu Xiaogang pushed ahead of the other children, but refused to awaken first and waited as the clan disciples took their turns.
• Several children awakened dragon-type Martial Souls, with Yu Lin reaching the highest Innate Soul Power at level six.
• Yu Xiaogang entered the awakening formation and manifested a golden dragon that Yu Luohe identified as the Golden Sacred Dragon from the clan’s records.
• The elders praised Yu Xiaogang’s apparent beneficial mutation, while Yu Yuanzhen wondered why his Martial Soul had not taken its final form.

Yu Xiaogang’s Golden Sacred Dragon shattered, leaving him with a strange pig-like Martial Soul and only level 0.5 Innate Soul Power. His twin brother Yu Xuan then awakened the powerful Fire Dragon King, and Yu Xiaogang fled the great hall in tears after being burned and mocked.

• Yu Xiaogang’s Golden Sacred Dragon phantom shattered, and a purple, pig-like creature appeared as his Martial Soul.
• Yu Luohe tested Yu Xiaogang and announced that his Innate Soul Power was level 0.5, prompting the clan elders to condemn him.
• Yu Xuan awakened the Fire Dragon King, whose crimson flames filled the hall before the Martial Soul returned to him.
• Yu Xiaogang realized that the flames had set his clothes on fire, and Yu Luohe hurriedly stripped them off while trying to put them out.
• Exposed and mocked by the crowd, Yu Xiaogang burst into tears and ran naked from the great hall as Yu Yuanzhen called after him.

Yu Xuan awakened the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power and was appointed young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After returning to his room, he considered how to obtain Whale Rubber before his trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, while Yu Xiaogang offered advice on choosing a Soul Beast.

• Yu Xuan awakened the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul, and Yu Yuanzhen and the elders praised its power and potential.

• Yu Xuan considered using Whale Rubber to strengthen his body before hunting for his first Soul Ring, and wondered whether Yu Xiaogang could steal some from the clan.
• Yu Xiaogang asked about Yu Xuan's Soul Ring plans and recommended a Wind Eagle, claiming its wind would expand the reach of Yu Xuan's fire.

Yu Xuan persuaded Yu Xiaogang to try riding Luo Sanpao, then forged a passage in a book to get his father to give him Whale Rubber. After absorbing it and strengthening his body, he prepared to have Yu Yuanzhen test what age Soul Ring he could withstand.

• Yu Xuan told Yu Xiaogang that Luo Sanpao might grow stronger through exercise, and Yu Xiaogang went off to try riding him.
• Yu Xuan forged a passage about Whale Rubber in the Thunder Medicinal Classic and planned to use it to persuade Yu Yuanzhen to give him some.
• Yu Xuan told Yu Yuanzhen about the passage and asked for Whale Rubber, so Yu Yuanzhen gave him a piece of Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and prepared an ice bath.
• Yu Xuan swallowed the softened Whale Rubber, endured its burning effects in the ice bath, and fell asleep.
• Yu Xuan woke in the afternoon feeling stronger, and Yu Yuanzhen prepared to examine him before taking him to obtain his first Soul Ring.

Yu Xuan’s body proved strong enough to attempt absorbing a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, so he and Yu Yuanzhen traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable fire-attribute sub-dragon Soul Beast. In a volcanic region, Yu Xuan sensed his Martial Soul being drawn toward a red mist and discovered a rift leading to a secret realm, which Yu Yuanzhen found he could touch and pass through.

Yu Xuan and Yu Yuanzhen explored a scorched secret realm, where Yu Xuan’s Fire Dragon King Martial Soul opened a sealed gate and revealed the Fire Dragon King’s reverse scale. After gathering several valuable finds, they returned to the entrance and discovered they could not leave.

• Yu Xuan and Yu Yuanzhen crossed the rift and found a barren realm littered with the remains of Soul Beasts and humans, along with a thousand-year Soul Beast right leg bone.
• Yu Yuanzhen’s Eighth Soul Skill failed to damage a massive stone gate, but Yu Xuan’s Fire Dragon King Martial Soul caused it to open.
• Yu Xuan found a scarlet scale that identified itself as the Fire Dragon King Reverse Scale, a protective artifact and key to a treasure in the Mystic Fire Secret Realm.
• Yu Yuanzhen searched the volcano and found a vermilion herb, while the pair later collected a ten-thousand-year skull and found nothing else of value.
• Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xuan returned to the entrance, but Yu Yuanzhen found that the rift would no longer let them pass through.

Yu Xuan absorbed a thousand-year Tail Blade Flame Dragon Soul Ring and gained the Mystic Flame Dragon Claw skill, while Yu Yuanzhen discovered the beast had also left an External Soul Bone. After eating, the two set off for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with the greatsword stored for Yu Xuan to absorb later.

Yu Xuan and Yu Xiaogang began combat training at the clan’s Training Hall, where Yu Xiaogang learned that Yu Xuan had been named young clan leader and grew more resentful of his brother.

• Yu Lin and the other disciples demonstrated ten kicks on sandbags, while Yu Xuan performed especially well and Yu Xiaogang stumbled through the test.
• Luo Sanpao copied the kicks with surprising skill, prompting Yu Luowu to praise the Martial Soul and an onlooker to say there were no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters.
• Yu Xiaogang took nearly half an hour to finish the kicks as the others compared him unfavorably with Luo Sanpao.
• After Yu Xuan finished his two months of training, Yu Yuanzhen praised his combat talent and showed him a Breaking Clan copy of the Rare Treasures Pharmacopoeia.
• Yu Yuanzhen identified the fire spinach as Scarlet Fire Crimson Spinach, an immortal-grade herb, and presented Yu Xuan with one in a jade box.

• Yu Xiaogang begged Yu Yuanzhen for the Scarlet Fire Crimson Spinach, but Yu Yuanzhen warned that taking it could harm him and criticized his lack of dedication.

After discovering that the inheritance had transformed his External Soul Bone and granted it a powerful new skill, he tested its strength and found that it drained his Soul Power rapidly.

• Yu Xuan told Yu Yuanzhen that the Asura God had chosen him for nine trials, beginning with a hundred consecutive victories in Slaughter City's Hell Slaughter Arena, and Yu Yuanzhen agreed that he should prepare before going.

Yu Xuan’s family discussed sending him to Spirit Hall Academy, while Yu Xiaogang finally reached level ten and demanded that Yu Yuanzhen take him to hunt for a Soul Ring. Yu Yuanzhen refused, leaving Yu Xiaogang insisting on going to the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Yu Xuan was surrounded by admiring clan disciples as Yu Xiaogang watched resentfully from the sidelines before his overseers dragged him away.

• Dao Ba questioned where Yu Xiaogang had gotten the nerve to attempt absorbing a six-hundred-year Soul Ring.

Yu Xiaogang endured a dangerous absorption of a Flame Stink Bug Soul Ring and awakened an embarrassing fart-based Soul Skill. A year later, Yu Xuan left the sect to train alone, planning to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Yu Xiaogang insisted on absorbing a powerful Soul Ring, but Dao Ba and Brother Hu killed the six-hundred-year Thunder Carp Dragon before he could claim it.
