Chapter Summaries

Ning Rongrong refused Flender’s demand that she eat Oscar’s sausage and accepted his challenge to support the other students for over two hours, then withstand him for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. She left the classroom to begin, while Tang San and the others followed to watch.

• Flender congratulated Oscar on reaching Soul Power Level thirty, while Dai Mubai sat apart, still badly injured from the previous night.
• Flender ordered every student except Oscar to eat one of his sausages as an adaptation exercise.
• Ning Rongrong refused, arguing that she could support the group without Oscar’s help.
• Flender challenged Ning Rongrong to support everyone for more than two hours and then last against him until an incense stick burned out; she accepted and asked to decide the lesson’s outcome if she succeeded.
• Ning Rongrong walked outside to begin the challenge, and Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai followed to watch.

Ning Rongrong demonstrated the immense power of her Ten Treasures Glazed Sword and fought Dean Flender in a test of her attacking ability. Flender appeared to defeat her before the incense burned out, but Tang San noticed that her Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash might still have one attack left.

• Ning Rongrong revealed her mutated Ten Treasures Glazed Sword and boosted everyone with its Strength and Speed Soul Skills, astonishing Flender and the Shrek students.
• After the two-hour wait, Ning Rongrong redirected her boosts to herself and began the incense-stick battle against Flender.

• Ning Rongrong unleashed Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash, landing seven strikes on Flender before he used his falling body to make the final two strikes hit her instead.
• Ning Rongrong was sent crashing to the ground, and Flender declared that she had lost, but Tang San pointed out that the attack had struck only nine times and might have one more strike remaining.

Ning Rongrong defeated Flender by secretly delaying and hiding the final strike of her Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash, then took charge of the lesson. Afterward, the system rewarded her with increased Soul Power, bringing her to Level 30 and offering a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring to absorb.

• The system awarded Ning Rongrong two thousand Identity Points and four Soul Power levels, raising her to Level 30 and offering a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

After reaching Soul Power Level thirty, Ning Rongrong absorbed a prepared Soul Ring in front of the Shrek Academy group, leaving them stunned. Her third Soul Skill, Divine Soul, could boost Soul Power and create an array that drained and redistributed it, but breaking the array risked mental injury to either her or her target.

• Ning Rongrong reached Soul Power Level thirty and decided to absorb her new Soul Ring at Shrek Academy.
• Xiao Wu, Tang San, Flender, Oscar, and Dai Mubai watched in disbelief as Ning Rongrong absorbed a Soul Ring without a nearby Soul Beast.

• Zhao Wuji revealed that Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo had beaten him before he could ask Ning Fengzhi to take Ning Rongrong back, then warned Dai Mubai to stop provoking her.

Zhao Wuji warned Dai Mubai that Ning Rongrong’s powerful family and the Heaven Dou Empire made her far more dangerous to offend than his status as a prince could protect him. After the group reached a town and rented rooms, the girls went to bathe together while Dai Mubai was left alone with his resentment.

• Zhao Wuji explained that Ning Rongrong was protected by Ning Fengzhi, two Titled Douluo, and the Heaven Dou Empire, while Dai Mubai had little reason to expect the Star Luo Empire to avenge him.
• Zhao Wuji implied that Shrek Academy would only help Dai Mubai if he proved his value, and Dai Mubai realized the academy could discard him.
• After a day of travel, the group reached a small town and rented rooms, with Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu sharing the last luxury suite.

• Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu went to the hotel entrance after a commotion broke out between Dai Mubai and Canghui Academy.
• Dai Mubai attacked a Canghui student after the group demanded that he apologize to Qingqing, but the students overwhelmed him and beat him down.

• Ning Rongrong warned the Canghui group that they would die if they insulted her again.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu fought Ye Zhiqiu and the Canghui Academy students in a hotel lobby after Ning Rongrong paid for the damage. Ning Rongrong kept Ye Zhiqiu occupied while the two girls overwhelmed his students, then dodged his powerful attacks with her speed boost.

• Ning Rongrong mocked Canghui Academy’s students as they prepared to attack her, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu together.

• Ning Rongrong completed a hidden mission and chose to advance her Second Soul Ring, which rose to ten thousand five hundred years as her Soul Skill was enhanced.

Ning Rongrong gained flight and used her new ability to lift Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu into the air. She concluded that hidden missions were triggered when other people made small changes to the original plot, though she remained unsure whether her theory was correct.

• Ning Rongrong discovered that Divine Speed let her fly without Soul Power and create a vortex that briefly let others fly, then lifted Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu into the air.
• The Shrek Academy boys arrived below, and Dai Mubai and Zhao Wuji looked up at the girls before Zhao Wuji sent the boys to bed.
• Ning Rongrong reviewed the hidden missions involving Ma Hongjun, Flender, and Canghui Academy, and concluded that another character had to change the plot before she could earn a reward by resolving the situation.
• Zhu Zhuqing tested using her Soul Skills while flying and crashed into Xiao Wu, who chose not to retaliate so she would not damage her friendship with Ning Rongrong.

The group found a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for Oscar’s third Soul Ring, but Xiao Wu challenged Tang San’s inconsistent arguments for hunting Soul Beasts. Ning Rongrong killed the serpent so Oscar could absorb its Soul Ring, while Xiao Wu left angrily and Tang San chased after her; Ning Rongrong then received a hidden-mission reward.

• Zhao Wuji led the group into the Star Dou Great Forest, where they found a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for Oscar’s third Soul Ring.

• After losing Tang San’s Purple Demon Eye to guide them, the group continued through the forest until the ground split and a Titan Giant Ape appeared.
• Zhao Wuji saw Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing flying above the ground, then spotted Xiao Wu and Tang San beside the Titan Giant Ape.

Ning Rongrong chose to flee with Zhu Zhuqing while Zhao Wuji and the others fought the Titan Giant Ape, which carried Xiao Wu away. An unexpected system reward raised Ning Rongrong’s Identity Points to 10,000, unlocking six reward bundles, including the Body-Shaping Immortal Herb she wanted.

• The system rewarded Ning Rongrong for putting others first by raising her Soul Rings’ ages to sixty thousand years and fixing that as the base age for her future Soul Rings.

Ning Rongrong discovered that kissing Zhu Zhuqing had greatly improved the minimum age of her Soul Rings, but their moment together was interrupted when Meng Yiran and her grandparents tumbled out of the bushes. After an awkward confrontation, the two sides introduced themselves, and the chapter ended as a strange sound drew everyone’s attention.

• Ning Rongrong realized that her Soul Rings would be at least sixty thousand years old after kissing Zhu Zhuqing, and kissed her again before they were interrupted.

Ning Rongrong defeated a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider with her sword skills and Soul Skills, while Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang watched. The system rewarded her and announced that she had disrupted Tang San’s original Soul Ring acquisition, unlocking a later fortune-stealing quest.

• A Man Faced Demon Spider attacked Ning Rongrong, and she used her flight Soul Skill to lift the group clear of its webbing.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran failed to get close or hit the spider, so Ning Rongrong boosted herself and charged in alone.
• Ning Rongrong used the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash and Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Array to disable the spider’s eyes, drain its Soul Power, and blast away four of its legs.
• Ning Rongrong followed with the Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Slash, splitting the spider’s body and leaving it alive but incapacitated.
• The system awarded Ning Rongrong Identity Points and Soul Ring age for defeating the spider, then announced that she had completed the quest to disrupt Tang San’s original level-thirty Soul Ring acquisition and earned a 50,000-year-old External Soul Bone.

Ning Rongrong discovered that injuring the Man Faced Demon Spider had earned her a major reward, then used it to strengthen her Soul Rings and unlock powerful new abilities. After telling Zhu Zhuqing they had a better chance against the Star Luo Imperial Family, she turned to examine the fifty-thousand-year External Soul Bone she had received.
