Chapter Summaries

Ning Rongrong used 400,000 years of Soul Ring age to upgrade her fifth Soul Ring to a Million-Year Soul Ring and discovered that her newly awakened Fire-Stoking Stick was a ringless Martial Soul above God King level. As Zhu Zhuqing misunderstood the stick, Ning Rongrong sensed a powerful stranger watching her from a dark corner of the Great Soul Arena.

• Ning Rongrong added 400,000 years of Soul Ring age to her fifth Soul Ring, raising it to a Million-Year Soul Ring and gaining four soul-related Soul Skills.
• Ning Rongrong inspected her newly awakened Second Martial Soul, the Fire-Stoking Stick, and learned it could not absorb Soul Rings but could create Soul Skills and grow without limit.
• Ning Rongrong wondered how the Fire-Stoking Stick could be useful in battle and released it to examine its ordinary appearance and feel.
• Zhu Zhuqing saw the stick, blushed, and offered to help Ning Rongrong so she would not need to use it.
• Ning Rongrong sensed a powerful, unfamiliar person watching her from a dark corner of the Great Soul Arena.

Ning Rongrong realized Tang Hao was following her after she defeated Tang San, so she led him away from the city to confront him. Tang Hao appeared and challenged her strength, while Ning Rongrong stood her ground with her fire poker.

• Ning Rongrong sensed a powerful killing intent and left the Great Soul Arena to draw the pursuer away from Zhu Zhuqing and the crowds.
• As she ran, Ning Rongrong deduced that Tang Hao was following her because she had defeated his son, Tang San.

• Ning Rongrong blocked Tang Hao's killing intent with her fire poker, and Tang Hao emerged from the woods.
• Tang Hao said he had come to avenge Tang San and challenged Ning Rongrong to show her strength.

Ning Rongrong fought Tang Hao after he tried to kill her, using her domains and Soul Skills to challenge his Titled Douluo strength. As both prepared to decide the fight with one move, Ning Rongrong had only three minutes to defeat him.

• Tang Hao saw Ning Rongrong’s five Golden Soul Rings and, fearing her future threat, launched three Soul Skills to kill her.
• Ning Rongrong used Ten Treasures Soul Suppression Domain to cancel Tang Hao’s attacks, then boosted her Soul Power to level ninety-two with Jade Phoenix Twin Wings and Glazed Space-Breaking Stance.
• Ning Rongrong’s three Soul Skills were scattered by Tang Hao’s Clear Sky True Body, and he demanded that she apologize to Tang San.
• Ning Rongrong refused and told Tang Hao to kowtow; he attacked with Brilliant Explosion, but her Ten Treasures Defense Suppression Domain reflected his blows.
• Tang Hao blocked the reflected attacks with Qian Jun Barrier, then proposed settling the battle with one move as both fighters faced the three-minute limit on Ning Rongrong’s domains.

Ning Rongrong learned that her victory had cost Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai their bets before joining Shrek's strategy discussion against the formidable Imperial Fighting Team. The chapter left Shrek preparing to face a seven-member team with stronger numbers and high Soul Power Levels.

• Ning Rongrong discovered Yu Xiaogang had bet fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins and Dai Mubai had bet five hundred thousand that she would lose.

• Ning Rongrong advised Zhu Zhuqing to target the Imperial Fighting Team's support Soul Master first.

• Ning Rongrong watched Zhu Zhuqing from the stands, trusting her ability to defeat the opposing group.
• Yan wondered whether he could pursue Ning Rongrong, while Xie Yue and Hu Liena teased him about being weaker than her.

• Bibi Dong concluded that Ning Rongrong had Twin Martial Souls and was impressed by her strength after hearing she had sent Yan flying.

At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong learned about Ning Rongrong’s two Martial Souls and moved the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament forward by two months. Meanwhile, Shrek struggled against the Imperial Fighting Team, and Zhu Zhuqing proposed a new attack plan that Tang San questioned.

• Hu Liena reasoned that Ning Rongrong’s Fire-Stoking Stick was likely less developed than her Ten Treasures Glazed Sword but had superior attack power without Soul Skills, drawing Bibi Dong’s interest.
• Bibi Dong decided to meet Ning Rongrong at the upcoming tournament and ordered it to be held two months early.
• Shrek’s five fighters worked together against the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team, but Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan’s team countered their attacks and gained the advantage.
• Tang San ordered Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu to retreat as Shrek’s attacks failed to cause meaningful damage and Oscar ran low on Soul Power.
• Zhu Zhuqing proposed leading a changed attack while Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu feinted, but Tang San refused until she explained her plan.

Zhu Zhuqing rejected Shrek’s plan to target Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan first, arguing that Ye Lingling was the key target. After Dai Mubai and Oscar were eliminated, Zhu Zhuqing revealed her speed and drove the Imperial Fighting Team into disarray, leaving the match at three Shrek fighters against three opponents.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu that they should target Ye Lingling while she bypassed Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, but Dai Mubai criticized her for relying on Ning Rongrong’s advice.
• Yu Tianheng led the Imperial Fighting Team’s attack; Dai Mubai was knocked off the stage, and Dugu Yan attacked Xiao Wu.

• Zhu Zhuqing’s plan kept the Imperial Fighting Team’s fighters separated, while Tang San restrained Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu forced Dugu Yan to retreat.
• Yu Tianheng broke Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass restraints with Thunder Dragon Claw, but Tang San repeatedly caught him again with Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon.
• Xiao Wu threw Dugu Yan into the brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo, and Zhu Zhuqing’s Netherworld Hundred Claws eliminated both brothers as they shielded Dugu Yan.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu unleashed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and its Soul Power sphere hurled Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, and Tang San out before the barrier vanished.

After Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill injured Tang San and incapacitated Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, Yu Xiaogang brought Shrek back to the academy to investigate.

• Yu Xiaogang gathered the students and theorized that Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had achieved soul balance and formed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing failed to unleash the skill without a target, and Ning Rongrong explained that Xiao Wu’s Waist Bow needed someone to act as one.
• Oscar feared he would be chosen as their target and hid behind Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu demonstrated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Alluring Spirit Cat, on Zhao Wuji after he volunteered to test it. The attack overwhelmed him, and he accused Yu Xiaogang of misleading him.

• Yu Xiaogang suggested Ning Rongrong help test Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but she challenged him to choose a weaker target instead.
