Chapter Summaries

Xiang Bei’s automated Soul Tool defenses pushed back the beast tide until a nuclear weapon detonated and devastated much of the Star Dou Great Forest’s forces. Di Tian ordered the beasts to retreat, and Shrek City celebrated as the Soul Tool experts gathered around Xiang Bei.

• Meng Hongchen and Jiang Nannan used Spiritual Detection Sharing to direct more than a thousand Soul Tool Turrets, briefly driving back the beast tide around Xiang Bei.
• A fifty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear charged Xiang Bei, and Ma Xiaotao’s strongest attack failed to stop it.
• Xiang Bei ordered Xiao Yu to seal the group inside lead-shell defenses and deploy the killing weapon.
• The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear struck a black object Xiang Bei had thrown, and Di Tian used the Dragon God Claw to fling it into the sky before it exploded, wiping out a tenth of the beast tide and injuring him.
• Di Tian threatened Xiang Bei against using such a weapon again, then ordered the beast tide to retreat.
• Shrek City erupted in cheers, and Soul Tool Department leaders and instructors gathered around Xiang Bei.

Xiang Bei learned that his experimental Soul Cannon Shell had caused mutations among the Soul Beasts and altered Xu Sanshi’s Martial Soul. As factions discussed the weapon and its effects, the Sky Screen announced that an identical shell would be dropped on the continent, with its radiation preserved for a week.

• Xiao Yu reported that Xiang Bei’s shell used a fusion reaction, had power approaching Level 9, and spread a severe curse near its core; Xiao Yu also credited Xiang Bei with 13.56 million Shrek points.
• Xiang Bei took Meng Hongchen to plunder Shrek’s treasury.
• At the Lake of Life, the Silver Dragon King told Di Tian that his extra dragon claw was an irreversible mutation, while the other fierce beasts displayed varied changes to their bodies and abilities.
• Xu Sanshi celebrated the beneficial mutation of his Martial Soul and vowed to win Jiang Nannan’s heart.
• Yu Xiaogang met Tai Tan, who had come to join Shrek Academy, and Tang San hoped the Divine Craftsman could help him reproduce Hidden Weapons.
• The Sky Screen announced that an identical shell would be dropped on the continent and that its radiation would remain intact for one week after a powerful expert blocked the explosion.

Yu Xiaogang volunteered for the shell’s Radiation, boasting that it would restore his Martial Soul, but Sword Douluo Chen Xin was transported to face the blast instead. Chen Xin survived and the Radiation lingered around him for a week, leaving Ning Fengzhi anxiously wondering whether he had mutated.

• Yu Xiaogang declared that the Radiation would positively mutate his Martial Soul and posted that he would volunteer to receive it.
• Sword Douluo Chen Xin volunteered, and the Sky Screen transported him to a mountain without Ning Fengzhi’s promised amplification.
• Chen Xin attacked the falling shell with his Seven Kill Sword, then dodged the explosion and endured its shock wave and Radiation.
• The Sky Screen announced that Chen Xin had survived the shell and that its Radiation would remain for a week.
• Ning Fengzhi blamed himself for not stopping Chen Xin, while Bone Douluo reminded him that Chen Xin had chosen to face the shell.
• Ning Fengzhi asked whether Chen Xin’s body had undergone any mutations.

Chen Xin survived Radiation Baptism, broke through to level ninety-seven, and gained corrosive Sword Qi that could suppress negative energy. Inspired by his success, Yu Xiaogang tried the radiation himself, but he collapsed almost immediately and Luo Sanpao mutated into a grotesque form.

• Chen Xin returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, revealed his breakthrough, and demonstrated his newly corrosive Sword Qi.
• Yu Yuanzhen, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San reacted to the news by hoping radiation could mutate their own Martial Souls.
• Yu Xiaogang insisted that his willpower and expertise would let him endure Radiation Baptism, then went to the mountain despite Flender's warnings.
• Di Tian and Xiong Jun mocked Yu Xiaogang, who angrily vowed to destroy the Star Dou Great Forest and make Di Tian his Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang entered the radiation's core zone, screamed as his body was corroded, and lost consciousness while trying to crawl away.
• Radiation Baptism ended with Luo Sanpao horribly mutated, and Di Tian dismissed Yu Xiaogang as trash.

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San suffered disastrous outcomes after undergoing radiation baptism, while Qian Renxue emerged with an evolved Martial Soul. Meanwhile, Xiang Bei prepared to use his vast store of points to restock supplies and advance the virtual world.

• Yu Xiaogang learned that radiation had left him unable to use Soul Skills or have children and had destroyed the Sacred Dragon bloodline in his Martial Soul, reducing Luo Sanpao to a deformed ordinary pig.
• Qian Renxue endured three minutes in the radiation core zone and evolved her Six-Winged Angel into the Solar Six-Winged Angel, which could absorb sunlight.
• Tang San entered the radiation core zone but fainted within a minute; afterward, his Blue Silver Grass became partly decayed and spiked, lost three levels of Soul Power, and gained the ability to release radiation.
• Poseidon questioned whether Tang San was truly the inheritor chosen by Lord Sea God after seeing his failed baptism.
• Xiang Bei learned that battlefield Soul Beast energy would remain usable for Spirit Ascension for only three days, then decided to spend points on supplies and put the virtual world on the right track.

Xiang Bei organized Shrek Academy’s Soul Tool Department to build Virtual World satellites, then traded a Silent Sleeve Arrow for technology to create the Azure Luan Communicator, which combined communication with spatial teleportation. The communicator’s first test succeeded, while observers across the continent recognized the strategic and economic power behind Xiang Bei’s growing plans.

• Xiang Bei announced plans for a Virtual World city and assigned Shrek teachers and students to an assembly line producing Soul Tool Satellites.
• Xiang Bei gave Xiao Yu two drops of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, then entered the Sky Screen to trade with a powerful woman.
• Xiang Bei exchanged a Silent Sleeve Arrow for communicators with energy storage and spatial teleportation, along with instructions for manufacturing them.
• Xiao Yu arranged materials for mass production, and Xiang Bei tested the communicator by sending a pebble through its spatial portal.
• Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong recognized the communicator’s potential to spread commands and expand control, while Yu Xiaogang boasted about the Virtual World in the chat.

Xiang Bei introduced the Azure Luan Communicators and prepared to expand the Virtual World from Shrek Academy, while Xue Qinghe warned that the technology could give its creator control over the continent. After Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen received communicators and showed their affection for Xiang Bei, he brought devices to a Sea God Pavilion Meeting to discuss the rollout.

• Xue Qinghe warned that communicators and the Virtual World could expose nations’ information, isolate them, and force them to trade resources and knowledge for virtual coins.
• Di Tian feared technology would leave Soul Beasts further behind, but Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena said she would act ten thousand years in the future.
• Xiang Bei completed a hundred Azure Luan Communicators and learned that Xian Lin'er’s team had built thirty satellites for Shrek Academy’s coverage.
• Xiang Bei gave communicators to Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen, who added his ID and kissed him before taking devices to distribute.
• Jiang Nannan delivered communicators to Shrek students, and Xu Sanshi grew jealous when he learned she had not brought his personally.
• Xiang Bei brought several Azure Luan Communicators to a Sea God Pavilion Meeting, where he became the first Sun Moon Empire student to attend shortly after arriving.

Xiang Bei proposed a partnership with Shrek Academy to expand the Virtual World and introduce the Azure Luan Communicator, and the academy approved it unanimously. Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile and Qian Daoliu watched the future on the Sky Screen and wondered why Spirit Hall had vanished, before Qian Daoliu expressed confidence in Xiao Xue.

• Xiang Bei introduced Xiao Yu and the Azure Luan Communicator, then outlined how Shrek could help expand the Virtual World.
• Xian Lin'er and Xuan Zi argued that cooperation would benefit Shrek, and the academy's nine voting members unanimously approved the partnership.
• Mu En assigned the cooperation details to Xiang Bei and Xian Lin'er, while Xiang Bei considered the influence and resources the Virtual World could bring him.
• Golden Crocodile counted the powerful figures in future Shrek, and Qian Daoliu dismissed them as unimpressive compared with Spirit Hall.
• Golden Crocodile asked why Spirit Hall had disappeared ten thousand years later, and Qian Daoliu said Xiao Xue would preserve it if she became the Angel God.

Xiang Bei oversaw the construction of rocket launch bases and satellite launches, then used a new Soul Tool and Millennium Whale Rubber to treat Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen’s sore legs. The chapter ended with Tian Meng asking Xiao Yu to teach him the technique so he could win Bingbing’s affection, and Xiao Yu pointing out that her armored body made it impractical.

• Xian Lin'er and the academy’s Soul Engineers built ten rocket launch bases in less than a week, and nearly a hundred satellites were placed in orbit.
• Xiang Bei designed a fascia knife Soul Tool and used it with Millennium Whale Rubber to relieve Meng Hongchen’s leg fatigue.
• Xiang Bei treated Jiang Nannan’s legs with the same method, and she gradually relaxed as the medicinal power eased her soreness.
• Tian Meng envied the treatment and begged Xiao Yu to teach him the technique for Bingbing, but Xiao Yu explained that her armor made it unworkable.

Xiang Bei left Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen to work while he entered the Virtual World to raise his Soul Ring ages and review its expansion. There, Xiao Yu updated him on the new currency system and Huo Yuhao’s activities at Mingde Hall.

• Xu Sanshi heard Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen inside Xiang Bei’s room, broke down outside, and awakened a green-shelled Xuanwu Martial Soul, but he still could not break through Xiang Bei’s Level 9 Soul Tool barrier.
• Xiang Bei sent Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen back to work, and Jiang Nannan arranged for Xu Sanshi to be taken to the infirmary.
• Shrek Academy’s students and teachers continued building factories, recovering rocket wreckage, producing Azure Luan Communicators, and establishing Virtual World nodes across the empires.
• Xiang Bei entered the expanded Virtual World and asked Xiao Yu to raise his Soul Ring ages to his body’s limit while reviewing the fees and Virtual Currency exchange rate.
• Xiao Yu told Xiang Bei that Huo Yuhao had stolen rare metals and a prototype Humanoid Soul Tool from Mingde Hall during Du Busi’s invasion, and Xiang Bei arranged for Huo Yuhao to receive two Azure Luan Communicators.
• Xiao Yu set the exchange rate at one Silver Soul Coin per Virtual Currency and estimated that resource exchanges could initially earn more than ten million Gold Soul Coins.
