Chapter Summaries

Gula prepared to forge rare metals for Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, and Zheng Yiran while Tang Wulin and Gu Yue watched. After agreeing to the risks and demanding secrecy, he took his place at the Forging Platform, ready to demonstrate his skill.

• Wu Siduo brought Nether Iron and Heavy Silver, seeking a Sentient Alloy with a Fusion Rate above ninety percent.
• Luo Guixing presented Thousand Mechanism Copper and explained his plan to incorporate it into Battle Armor Components made from Jade Silver Alloy.
• Zheng Yiran offered Green Phosphorescent Copper, asking Gula to preserve its toxicity and fuse it with her poison.
• Gula agreed to forge all three metals, warned the group that failure was possible, and told them to stay behind the safety line.
• Gula summoned two forging hammers and began preparing to demonstrate his forging ability.

Gula demonstrated his extraordinary forging skill by simultaneously refining several metals, then added Deep Silver and triggered a dangerous energy surge. He stabilized the out-of-control metals with a precise hammer technique and prepared to continue the forging.

• Gula used twelve Spirit Forging Hammers and his spiritual power to refine Nether Iron to Thousand Refinements with Spirit.
• Gula added Thousand Mechanism Copper and Green Phosphorus Copper, forging all three metals together while maintaining precise furnace temperatures.
• Tang Wulin and Luo Guixing watched in disbelief as Gula added Thousand Refined Deep Silver to the forging sequence.
• The four metals produced a violent energy vortex that threatened to cause a Furnace Explosion.
• Gula balanced opposing hammer forces with the Reverse Application of Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and restrained the metals with his spiritual power.

Gula demonstrated simultaneous Spirit Forging on six metals, producing an Active Metal with a 93.6% Fusion Rate. Wu Siduo offered to buy twenty pieces, while Gula left them wondering whether he had approached the Soul Forging threshold.

• Gula awakened the spirituality of six metals at once and fused them through simultaneous Spirit Forging.
• A shard struck Wu Siduo, and her blood was absorbed into one metal, which developed blood-colored patterns and signs of life.
• Gula finished the forging, leaving three metals with Innate Spirituality, including one that responded to Wu Siduo with a tiger-like cry.
• Gula explained that telekinesis let him isolate the metals' spiritualities, and the testing instrument gave the piece a 93.6% Fusion Rate.
• Wu Siduo offered any conditions for twenty pieces of Spirit Forged metal, and Gula said he was still far from Soul Forging.

Gula secured interest from Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, and Zheng Yiran in his high-Fusion Rate Spirit Forged metal, then negotiated with Gu Yue to forge her Battle Armor in exchange for Life Gold. The chapter ended as Gu Yue prepared to hand over the Life Gold and Gula suddenly stopped her.

• Gula explained that he needed rare metals and offered Spirit Forged metal with Fusion Rates above ninety percent, prompting Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, and Zheng Yiran to place orders.
• Wu Siduo decided to consult her family before committing to Gula’s offer, while Tang Wulin watched enviously as the others dispersed.
• Gu Yue confronted Gula about his ability to forge God Alloy, and Gula explained that his authority over earth made controlling metal natural to him.
• Gu Yue asked Gula to forge her a set of God Alloy Battle Armor, and he offered to supply her metal materials through her Four-Word Battle Armor in exchange for Life Gold.
• Gu Yue agreed and summoned a fist-sized Emerald Green Crystal of Life Gold, but Gula told her to wait before she could divide it.

Gula and Gu Yue agreed to cooperate, each secretly planning to bring the other under their command, and traveled to the Lake of Life so Gula could evolve Celebi with the Life Gold. The chapter left Gula beginning the process inside Gu Yue’s Space Barrier, with Di Tian and the fierce beasts guarding the area.

• Gula asked Gu Yue for a safe place to use the Life Gold to evolve his Second Martial Soul, Celebi, and she agreed to help.
• Gu Yue gave Gula the Life Gold as an investment, while both privately considered how they might eventually subdue the other.
• Gu Yue and Gula requested leave from the academy, and Di Tian opened a Space Rift to take them into the Star Dou Great Forest.
• At the Lake of Life, Gu Yue formed a Space Barrier around Gula as Di Tian and the fierce beasts stood guard.
• Gula exchanged for the final fragment needed for Celebi’s evolution and began the process.

Gula used the Life Gold to complete Celebi’s evolution, becoming a Level 1 Divine Beast with new forest and space-time powers. After seeing his new strength, Gu Yue suggested that their cooperation could go further, and the two reached an agreement.

• Gula absorbed the Life Gold as Gu Yue, Di Tian, Bear Lord, and Bi Ji contained the surging Life Energy and protected him.
• Celebi evolved as Gula’s Martial Soul, and Gula gained stronger Life Force, Forest Guardian, and enhanced Time Flower equipment.
• Gula awakened greater control over plants and space-time attributes, while his Celebi reached the potential of a Peak First-Rank God.
• Gu Yue congratulated Gula and proposed deepening their cooperation, and the Lake of Life shone with seven-colored light as they agreed.

Gula secured Goldwater Harmony from Gu Yue and planned to use it as the core of their Battle Armor. At Shrek Academy, Na'er reunited with Tang Wulin after five years, while quietly checking whether Gu Yue was nearby.

• Gula asked Gu Yue whether the Star Dou Great Forest had Goldwater Harmony, and Di Tian confirmed that it held five portions.
• Gu Yue ordered Di Tian to give Gula a portion, and Gula promised to handle the remaining steps of their Battle Armor.
• Gula and Gu Yue discussed Battle Armor design before Di Tian brought them back to Shrek City.
• Na'er appeared at Shrek Academy's sports field and ran to embrace Tang Wulin, who was overwhelmed to see her again.
• Shen Yi explained to Wu Zhangkong that Na'er was Yun Ming's personal disciple and had come to the Outer Court for exchange and study.
• While reuniting with Tang Wulin, Na'er searched the field for Gu Yue and felt relieved when she was absent.

Tang Wulin reunited with Na'er at Shrek Academy, while Gu Yue and Gula saw the siblings together. Gula warned Na'er that cruel news might be coming, and she left after hiding her unease from Tang Wulin.

• Tang Wulin noticed Na'er staring toward the academy gates as they celebrated their reunion.
• Gu Yue and Gula returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, saw Na'er with Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue walked away in silence.
• Tang Wulin shielded Na'er from his classmates and pulled Yang Nianxia and Luo Guixing back to training.
• Gula approached Na'er, said he was Gu Yue's partner, and warned her to cherish the time before cruel news arrived.
• Na'er grabbed Gula's sleeve to demand an explanation, and Tang Wulin rushed over and told Gula to stay away from her.
• Na'er claimed she had only asked Gula a question, then left to tour the campus; after turning a corner, her smile vanished.

Na'er challenged Gula to learn what he knew, and the two fought with their divine spears on campus. As Gula countered her attacks with elemental abilities, Na'er unleashed the power of the Seven Elements, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Na'er confronted Gula and demanded that he tell her the truth if she defeated him.
• Gula fought Na'er while Tang Wulin felt a sudden pain in his chest without realizing what was happening nearby.
• Na'er attacked with rapid spear thrusts, but Gula blocked her techniques with a Rock Spear and Earth Spear Intent.
• Gula repelled the Water Element, attacked with underground crystal clusters, and trapped Na'er with magnetic sand and metal chains.
• Na'er’s draconic eyes appeared as she summoned a colorful vortex of the Seven Elements that twisted the chains and began breaking the fragments apart.

Na'er and Gula fought on Shrek’s campus until Ya Li stopped them and Yun Ming ordered Na'er to train harder. Gula vanished to guide Tang Wulin in combat, prompting Na'er to chase after him before finding her brother safe in the cafeteria.

• Na'er attacked Gula with her Silver Dragon Spear, but he used his Anti-Flight skill and Gravity Crush to threaten her before Ya Li stopped the fight.
• Ya Li healed the damaged lawn, and Yun Ming criticized Na'er's spear technique and assigned her extra training.
• Na'er complained to Ya Li that Gula had bullied her, so Gula said he was going to guide Tang Wulin in actual combat and disappeared.
• Na'er realized Gula had used Tang Wulin as a distraction and rushed to the cafeteria to find her brother.
• Tang Wulin shared food with Na'er, and the siblings began an eating contest that alarmed the head chef.

After evolving his Celebi Martial Soul, Gula forged high-quality alloys and planned the materials for his future battle armor and mecha. He meditated until morning, then went to the cafeteria, where he spotted Tang Wulin and Na'er and approached their table before joining Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan.

• Gula forged an alloy with a 98.4% Fusion Rate and wondered whether a Steel-type Divine Beast Martial Soul could help him achieve a perfect fusion.
• Gula selected nine rare materials for his battle armor and planned to adapt their proportions for his future mecha.
• Gula meditated after forging and noted that his cultivation efficiency had improved, though his Soul Power remained at rank forty-six.
• Gula went to Shrek Academy's cafeteria and saw Tang Wulin eating beside Na'er.
• Gula gave Na'er a meaningful smile, then walked over to the table where Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were waving at him.

Gula criticized Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan for neglecting their Sub-professions, then Xie Xie accidentally spilled Yuanen Yehui’s food and paid her 10 Contribution Points. Yue Zhengyu confronted Yuanen Yehui in the dining hall and accused her of being an Evil Soul Master, leaving the two poised to clash.

• Na'er warned Tang Wulin not to trust Gula, while Gula overheard their conversation with his enhanced Spiritual Power.
• Gula offered Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan discounted forging and criticized them for remaining first-rank Sub-profession students.
• Xie Xie stood up in anger, knocked Yuanen Yehui’s dinner plate to the floor, and paid her 10 Contribution Points for the spilled meal.
• Yue Zhengyu arrived and mocked Yuanen Yehui, then crushed the plate she was collecting beneath his foot.
• Yuanen Yehui told Yue Zhengyu to move, and he summoned three Purple Soul Rings while accusing her of being an Evil Soul Master.

Yue Zhengyu attacked Yuanen Yehui in the dining hall, triggering a fight that Cai Yue'er stopped and punished. Gula rejected the dean’s ruling, leaving the confrontation poised to escalate.

• Tang Wulin intervened when Yue Zhengyu attacked Yuanen Yehui, but Yue Zhengyu accused her of belonging to the Fallen Angel Tribe and attacked again.
• Yuanen Yehui, Tang Wulin, Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan fought in the dining hall, damaging the room as students watched and recorded them.
• Cai Yue'er halted the battle, silenced Yue Zhengyu, and declared that everyone involved or watching without intervening would be punished.
• Cai Yue'er deducted five hundred Contribution Points from each participant, deducted one thousand from Yue Zhengyu, and made him pay for repairs.
• Gula stood up and rejected Cai Yue'er's ruling while Na'er watched from the crowd with a smile.

Gula challenged Cai Yue'er’s punishment and used his Celebi Martial Soul to trap more than sixty students in a mass illusion, turning them against the dean. Cai Yue'er struggled to contain the attackers and realized her pressure could not stop them while Gula’s illusion remained active.

• Gula argued that Yuanen Yehui had only defended herself and that he should not be punished, prompting Cai Yue'er to add another thousand Contribution Points to his penalty.
• Gula activated his Celebi Martial Soul’s hidden Second Soul Ring and unleashed Myriad Phenomena of the Forest, Dreamlike Bubble on the watching students.
• The students’ deepest desires and grudges surfaced in the illusion, causing them to attack one another and then turn on Cai Yue'er.
• Cai Yue'er repelled the students without seriously injuring them, but her spiritual shock failed to free them from Gula’s illusion.
• Cai Yue'er released her full Super Douluo pressure, but it could not affect the students while they remained trapped in the illusion.

Gula used a spiritual illusion to control cafeteria students and attack Cai Yue'er after objecting to her punishment. Yun Ming ended the confrontation and questioned Gula, revealing that his spiritual cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm.

• Tang Wulin tried to restrain the controlled students without harming them and urged Gula to stop.
• Gula used his illusion and spiritual power to turn the students against Cai Yue'er, while Cai Yue'er and the others struggled to resist.
• Zhuo Shi and Yun Ming arrived, and Yun Ming dismantled Gula's illusion, freeing the students.
• Yun Ming ordered the students to the infirmary and told them not to spread news of the incident.
• Gula claimed he had acted because Cai Yue'er's punishment was unfair, and Yun Ming asked whether his spiritual power had reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Yun Ming exposed Gula’s Spirit Abyss Realm Peak Spiritual Power and demanded to know the Spirit Pagoda’s purpose in sending him to Shrek. Gula refused to leave the Spirit Pagoda or join Shrek outright, so Yun Ming arranged to speak with Gula’s teacher the next day, while the students left stunned by Gula’s strength.

• Yun Ming revealed that Gula’s Spiritual Power had reached Spirit Abyss Realm Peak, shocking everyone in the dining hall.
• Yun Ming asked Tang Wulin whether Gula meant Shrek Academy harm, and Tang Wulin defended Gula based on his actions and their years together.
• Yun Ming offered Gula the choice of returning to the Spirit Pagoda or leaving it to join Shrek as a Sea God Pavilion member.
• Gula refused both choices and asked Yun Ming to speak with his teacher, since he was already a Core Disciple of the Spirit Pagoda.
• Yun Ming agreed to visit Gula’s teacher with Ya Li the next day, then sent everyone away with punishments for Yue Zhengyu and the other students.
• Yue Zhengyu questioned Gula after Yun Ming left, while Xie Xie admitted that Gula’s Spiritual Power made him feel like a frog at the bottom of a well.

After Gula dismissed Yun Ming’s offer, Shrek Academy’s leaders debated how to recruit him, and Yun Ming went to meet Leng Yaozhu at Spirit Pagoda headquarters. Leng Yaozhu recognized why her visitors had come, leaving Gula’s future unresolved.

• Xie Xie regretted having slacked off after seeing Gula refuse Yun Ming’s offer, while Xu Xiaoyan resolved to work harder at cultivation.
• Na'er told Tang Wulin she would study in his outer-court class and cultivate on Sea God Island at night, while Gula sent Leng Yaozhu a message about Yun Ming’s visit.
• Gula attended Wu Zhangkong’s Ideology and Morality Class while secretly reviewing flaws in the illusion space he had created.
• Sea God Pavilion’s elders debated Gula’s talent and the chance to recruit him, and Long Yueyue directed Yun Ming to visit the Spirit Pagoda.
• The next morning, Leng Yaozhu welcomed Yun Ming and his companion, saying she already knew why they had come.

Yun Ming and Ya Li proposed taking Gula to Shrek, but Leng Yaozhu offered Qing Liuli, Gula’s independent clone, as an alternative. Yun Ming agreed to train one of Gula’s clones at Shrek, but hesitated when Gula chose Bai Yuan.

• Yun Ming asked Leng Yaozhu to let Gula join Shrek, but she refused because the Spirit Pagoda had invested heavily in him.
• Leng Yaozhu introduced Qing Liuli and explained that Gula’s independent clones could cultivate and develop their own specialties.
• Yun Ming agreed to let one of Gula’s clones join Shrek, hoping to use the arrangement to learn more about the coming disaster in his prophecy.
• Yun Ming called Gula, who chose Bai Yuan to remain at Shrek instead of going to War God Hall.
• Yun Ming remembered Bai Yuan’s Abyss Maw martial soul and cautiously asked Gula to consider someone else.

Yun Ming accepted Bai Yuan into Shrek Academy’s Inner Court as a Core Disciple after Gula argued that he was the most suitable of his clones to stay. Months later, Gula helped Yue Zhengyu forge rare alloy for his Battle Armor, and Yue asked him to recruit skilled specialists to speed up its completion.

• Gula explained why Mu Yi, Liu Niandao, and the other clones had separate arrangements, leaving Bai Yuan as the best fit for Shrek Academy; Yun Ming agreed to keep him.
• Yun Ming admitted Bai Yuan to the Inner Court as a Core Disciple, while Bai Yuan privately planned to satisfy his appetite at the academy before joining the Blood God Army.
• Yun Ming suppressed the commotion over Bai Yuan’s admission and kept the identities of Gula’s incarnations secret from most of the academy.
• Months later, Gula forged a piece of alloy with a ninety-four Fusion Rate for Yue Zhengyu, who praised his skill and said his Battle Armor was progressing quickly.
• Yue Zhengyu asked Gula to enlist high-level Mecha Designers and repair technicians to help finish his Two-Word Battle Armor before third year, offering money or rare metals for their fees.

Gula continued making his Two-Word Battle Armor components while Yue Zhengyu sought contacts to help complete his own armor. When Tang Wulin and the others asked him to join their Soul Spirit Pagoda trial, Gula agreed and offered to help them get a discount.

• Gula accepted Yue Zhengyu's payment and promised contact information for Sub-profession Grandmasters, while warning that making Spirit-Forged metals would be strenuous for him.
• Gula reflected that his remaining Sub-professions had reached level six and that he had completed four of his battle armor's eleven components, including the gold-red gauntlets he wore while forging.
• Tang Wulin arrived with Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Yuanen Yehui, and Ye Xinglan, explaining that Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan needed new soul spirits after reaching rank forty.
• Gula agreed to accompany the group to the Soul Spirit Pagoda and told them that his discounts could bring the price down to forty percent.
• Ye Xinglan said she could afford a soul spirit, while Yuanen Yehui admitted she had saved money and worried it might not be enough.
• Gula continued forging as the group prepared to visit the Soul Spirit Pagoda, while the Spirit Pagoda's leaders grew uneasy about Leng Yaozhu's talented disciples.
