Arc 2Shrek’s New Path
Xiang Yang and Tang San pursued ways to help Soul Beasts and their allies while Tang San reunited with his father and mother, transformed his Martial Soul, and returned to a newly established Shrek Academy. The group gained Immortal Herbs and new Soul Rings, while Xiao Wu began refining the Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum.
- Xiang Yang proposed a symbiotic contract between humans and Soul Beasts, while Tang San and Xiao Wu worried that Soul Bones could intensify the hunting of Soul Beasts.
- Tang San absorbed a Secluded Iron Bamboo Soul Ring, then used the resulting Iron Bamboo Flower to trap Xiong Sanbang and win their arena match.
- Xiang Yang and Tang San developed new techniques and weapons, and Ning Fengzhi’s elders recognized Tang San’s connection to Tang Hao and Spirit Hall’s past conflict.
- Xiang Yang demonstrated Sun-Gathering Shields to Tang Hao, who brought Tang San and Xiang Yang to Ah Yin, where they moved her to a sunny poolside and protected her with a shield.
- Over the following year, Shrek’s students grew stronger, and Tang San and Xiang Yang later identified Dugu Yan’s poison and arranged to seek a cure with Dugu Bo.
- Xiang Yang offered to help Dugu Bo contain his poison in a Soul Core in exchange for shared use of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Dugu Bo accepted.
- Tang San absorbed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, awakened a transformed Martial Soul, and returned with Xiang Yang to Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy, where the students took Immortal Herbs.
- Tang San and Xiang Yang helped the students acquire Soul Rings in Sunset Forest, then Tang San brought Xiao Wu to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where she ate the Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum and began refining it.
