Chapter Summaries

Ming Jiang led five students into the Jingyang Mountain Range to hunt for their Sixth Soul Rings, while secretly asking Little Yellow to find mineral-rich peaks that could be moved into the Small World. When a twenty-thousand-year Black Gold Leopard appeared, Ming Jiang ordered the students to kill it themselves.

• Xiao Xiao and the other students spent the night wondering how Ming Jiang had reached Rank 8 at only twenty-three years old.
• Ming Jiang prepared breakfast, cultivated, and then led the students into the Jingyang Mountain Range.

• Ming Jiang identified the five students' Martial Souls as they traveled deeper into the mountain range.
• Wang Lei recognized a twenty-thousand-year Black Gold Leopard, and Ming Jiang told the students to kill it.

Ming Jiang watched Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Xiao Xiao, and Jing Ying fight a twenty-thousand-year Black Gold Leopard while Wang Lei supported them. Seeing their hunt could take too long, he prepared to use an Aromatic Silk Beauty to attract Soul Beasts and tested his new defensive Soul Tool Array.

• The Black Gold Leopard charged at Ming Jiang, but his glare frightened it into changing course and attacking Zhang Long.
• Zhang Long and Zhang Hu engaged the leopard while Wang Lei, Jing Ying, and Xiao Xiao supported them; Xiao Xiao's Wind Swirl knocked the beast into Jing Ying's thorns.
• Ming Jiang watched from a tree and judged that the five could handle the fight, though their Soul Beast hunts were inefficient.
• Ming Jiang took out a newly cultivated Aromatic Silk Beauty, intending to use its scent to attract Soul Beasts.
• Ming Jiang charged two Soul Tool Pillars and activated his Yin Yang Two Forms Soul Tool Defense Array, which formed a ten-meter-wide barrier.

After the students defeated the Black Gold Leopard, Ming Jiang protected Xiao Xiao from a nearly ten-thousand-year Crimson Blood Nether Feather Snake and revealed that its venom could not harm him. He had Zhang Long prepare to absorb the leopard’s soul ring inside a defensive barrier, then used a flower and emerald liquid to lure Soul Beasts toward him so he could test his armor.

• Ming Jiang caught the Crimson Blood Nether Feather Snake as it lunged at Xiao Xiao, and its bite left him unharmed.

• Ming Jiang applied a drop of emerald-green liquid to a pink flower, donned Golden Battle Armor, and waited beyond the shield.
• The earth began to tremble as Soul Beasts approached, and Ming Jiang prepared to test his armor.

A Beast Tide surrounded Ming Jiang and his companions, and the students panicked as Ming Jiang revealed his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Ming Jiang summoned hundreds of Golden Armored Warriors to defend the Yin Yang Two Forms Defense Array and charged toward the oncoming Soul Beasts.

• Ming Jiang used his Domain: Golden Armor to summon hundreds of Golden Armored Warriors and sent them to the four directions of the defense array.
• Ming Jiang activated his Dark Gold Divine Shadow and fired the Golden Battle Armor's weapons, briefly slowing the Soul Beasts at the front of the tide.

Ming Jiang intensified the Aromatic Silk Beauty’s scent to draw more Soul Beasts, then subdued an Ink Scale Snake for Jing Ying and a white tiger for Zhang Hu to absorb. With the team’s Soul Beasts secured, he set out to lure the Soul Beasts of Jingyang Mountain Range elsewhere so he could take something with him.

• Zhang Hu pointed out a white tiger, and Ming Jiang crushed it into a ball while leaving it alive for Zhang Hu.
• Ming Jiang took out the Aromatic Silk Beauty and activated the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum’s Bloodline Power to lure the Soul Beasts away.

Ming Jiang lured Soul Beasts across the Jingyang Mountain Range and used Little Void to gather them into his Small World while the others safely absorbed their Soul Rings. The chapter left Wang Lei and the others facing a mountain-shaking riot after a powerful Soul Beast roared at a human.

• Ming Jiang left the group behind a Rank 8 Soul Tool Shield and drew most of the surrounding Soul Beasts after him, allowing Zhang Long and the others to absorb their Soul Rings safely.
• After Zhang Long finished absorbing his Soul Ring, Ming Jiang led more than a thousand Soul Beasts through the Jingyang Mountain Range and sent them into his Small World with Little Void's help.
• Ming Jiang amplified the scent of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, while Little Yellow searched underground for Rare Metal deposits.
• Wang Lei, Xiao Xiao, Zhang Hu, Jing Ying, and the others finished absorbing their Soul Rings and waited for Ming Jiang to return.
• A tremendous tremor shook the mountains, and a distant voice roared, “Human, you are courting death!” Wang Lei realized that the Soul Beasts throughout the Jingyang Mountain Range were rioting.

Ming Jiang lured the rampaging Soul Beasts into the Jingyang Mountain Range, where he defeated and captured the Hundred-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon King. After Little Yellow found the range’s richest mineral deposits, Ming Jiang prepared to move them.

• Little Yellow reported finding the mountain range’s richest mineral deposits, and Ming Jiang decided to begin moving them.

Ming Jiang used Little Yellow to extract a vast quantity of Rare Metal from the Jingyang Mountain Range, then returned to the students who had been waiting for him. He told them he had fought a Hundred-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon King, and Xiao Xiao asked whether he had won.

• Little Yellow explained that he could extract the mountain’s minerals without moving the mountain, then brought up a huge supply of Rare Metal for Ming Jiang.
• Little Yellow finished extracting the rich deposits, and the Jingyang Mountain Range sank several meters without suffering major damage.
• The five students waiting in the Yin Yang Two Forms Soul Tool Defense Array sensed the ground sinking and the Soul Beasts falling silent, so Wang Lei flew up to scout.
• Wang Lei encountered Ming Jiang in the sky, and Ming Jiang returned with him to the students before leading them out of the mountain range.
• When Xiao Xiao asked what had happened, Ming Jiang said he had fought a Hundred-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon King, and she asked, “Did you win?”

Ming Jiang returned to Bright Virtue Hall with five students after helping them obtain their Sixth Soul Rings in less than two days, then went straight to the laboratory with Xuan Ziwen. Jing Hongchen heard the students’ account and concluded that Ming Jiang had the potential to reach the pinnacle, while resenting that he had once attended Shrek Academy.

• Ming Jiang told Xiao Xiao he could not defeat the Hundred-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon King, then used flying ropes to bring the group back to Bright Virtue Hall.
• Ming Jiang and the five students returned in under two days, and Xuan Ziwen invited Ming Jiang to the laboratory to work on research.

• Jing Hongchen considered Ming Jiang’s abilities and potential, then cursed that Ming Jiang had been sent to Shrek Academy instead of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Ming Jiang spent months refining a defensive Soul Tool array with Xuan Ziwen, while secretly advancing his Soul Power to Level Eighty-Eight. As he considered how to overcome the bottlenecks in both fields, four explosions struck Bright Virtue Hall’s experimental base, and he activated his Golden Battle Armor and defensive Soul Tools.

• Ming Jiang inspected the black and white pillars and discovered that the Soul Tool Shield was consuming Soul Power too quickly.
• Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen spent several months discussing their research, and Ming Jiang solved the power-loss problem and expanded the array to four Rank 8 Soul Pillars covering fifty meters.
• Xuan Ziwen urged Ming Jiang not to neglect Soul Power cultivation, and Ming Jiang claimed he had reached Level Seventy-Eight while secretly being Level Eighty-Eight.
• Ming Jiang considered pursuing Rank 9 Soul Engineer status before tackling the Level Ninety bottleneck with external stimulation.
• Four explosions rocked Bright Virtue Hall’s experimental base, and Ming Jiang donned his Golden Battle Armor and activated his defensive Soul Tools.

Four explosions devastated Bright Virtue Hall, and Ming Jiang concluded that the Body Sect had launched the attack. As Yu Tao pursued him through the chaos, Ming Jiang drew the Azure Steel Wind God Dagger to fight back.

• Four explosions struck crowded Soul Tool production areas, killing researchers and wrecking experimental tables.
• More than a hundred black-clad Body Sect experts emerged from tunnels and attacked Bright Virtue Hall.
• Ming Jiang reasoned that the Body Sect was behind the assault and tried to stay out of the fighting.
• Yu Tao recognized Ming Jiang and attacked him, shattering his Rank 8 Defensive Soul Tool and sending him flying.
• Ming Jiang faced Yu Tao without using his Martial Soul and drew the Azure Steel Wind God Dagger.

Ming Jiang fought Yu Tao with his Azure Steel Wind God Dagger until Bright Virtue Hall's defenses turned the battle against the Body Sect. Du Busi arrived, destroyed the Hall's defensive Soul Tools, and moved to capture Ming Jiang as Jing Hongchen tried to stop him.

• Ming Jiang wounded Yu Tao with the Azure Steel Wind God Dagger and used Ruler of the World to freeze him briefly, but a spiritual attack interrupted his strike.
• Bright Virtue Hall's defensive system activated, paralyzing Body Sect members with purple beams and allowing Soul Engineers to counterattack.

• Jing Hongchen shouted for Du Busi to stop.

Ming Jiang survived Du Busi’s crushing attack by using Little Yellow’s power to escape underground, while Bright Virtue Hall and the Body Sect fought fiercely above. As the battle continued, Ming Jiang prepared to explore deeper parts of Bright Virtue Hall, but Little Yellow warned that someone was digging down toward him.

• Du Busi shattered Ming Jiang’s Rank 8 Soul Tool defenses and struck him into the ruins, leading Jing Hongchen to believe he was dead and attack Du Busi in a rage.
• Jing Hongchen and Bright Virtue Hall’s Soul Engineers clashed with the Body Sect, furious over Ming Jiang’s apparent death and the casualties from the surprise attack.
• Ming Jiang escaped through the earth with Little Yellow’s power and healed his injuries, though he lamented losing three Rank 8 Soul Tools.
• Ming Jiang wondered why Du Busi had attacked Bright Virtue Hall and tried to capture him, then decided to explore the deeper areas of the hall.
• Little Yellow warned Ming Jiang that someone was digging a passage through the metal layer above him.

Ming Jiang followed a Body Sect Soul Douluo into Bright Virtue Hall's secret chamber and watched him steal the Rank 9 Platform of Deification, which contained a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo. When Ming Jiang confronted him, the Soul Douluo cracked the artifact, releasing a cloud of white air as the passage turned cold.

• Ming Jiang discovered that a Body Sect Soul Douluo was digging through Bright Virtue Hall's metal floors with his bare hands.
• The Soul Douluo triggered the chamber's defenses, then destroyed its Soul Tools to uncover the Platform of Deification.
• Ming Jiang recognized the Platform of Deification and realized it contained a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.
• The Soul Douluo took the Platform of Deification and began escaping through his tunnel.
• Ming Jiang emerged, fused with five spirits, and used Ruler of the World, Space Confinement, and Golden Pull against the Soul Douluo.
• The Soul Douluo crushed the Platform of Deification, and a white wisp escaped through its crack as the passage rapidly grew cold.

Ming Jiang tried to capture the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo after the Platform of Deification shattered, but the released being unleashed overwhelming ice that froze the tunnel and revealed herself as Snow Empress. He rescued Huo Yuhao, imprisoned the Body Sect Soul Douluo in his Small World, and recovered the Platform's remains.

• Ming Jiang seized the white current escaping the shattered Platform of Deification, hoping to bring the embryo into his Small World rather than absorb it.
• The embryo unleashed a devastating wave of cold that froze Ming Jiang, Huo Yuhao, the Body Sect Soul Douluo, and the tunnel around them.
• Ming Jiang recognized the overwhelming ice aura as Snow Empress's and relied on Little Ice's Extreme Ice to recover.
• Ming Jiang confirmed Huo Yuhao had survived, then placed the frozen Body Sect Soul Douluo in his Small World instead of killing him.
• Huo Yuhao thawed and joined Ming Jiang, who reminded him to use the name Ming Jiang at Bright Virtue Hall and picked up the damaged Platform of Deification.

Huo Yuhao recovered a Starlight Sapphire containing a giant robot, and Ming Jiang hid him amid the battle between Bright Virtue Hall, the Body Sect, and Snow Empress. When Ice Empress tried to help Snow Empress, Ming Jiang revealed his plan to pull her free with spatial power.

• Huo Yuhao showed Ming Jiang a huge Starlight Sapphire containing a metal robot packed with Core Magic Arrays, and Ming Jiang took it before leading him out of the tunnel.
• Huo Yuhao and Ming Jiang separated near the surface so their association would not expose Ming Jiang, and they hid among the wreckage.
• Ming Jiang watched Jing Hongchen and Du Busi contain Snow Empress, who appeared as a small child and had only a fraction of her usual strength.
• Ice Empress released her aura through Huo Yuhao and announced that she would help Snow Empress, despite Ming Jiang warning that the attempt was dangerous.
• Ming Jiang offered to use his spatial power to extract Snow Empress, and a giant invisible hand reached for her as Du Busi and Jing Hongchen realized another expert was present.

Ming Jiang tried to rescue Snow Empress from Du Busi and Jing Hongchen as the Body Sect and Bright Virtue Hall fought over her. He teleported Snow Empress away amid an explosion from three Rank 9 Fixed Soul Cannonballs, leaving Jing Hongchen furious over the devastation inside Bright Virtue Hall.

• Ming Jiang used spatial power to reach Snow Empress while Ice Empress urged her to cooperate, and Du Busi and Jing Hongchen joined the attack.

• Ming Jiang used the opening to teleport Snow Empress away, leaving only wisps of freezing aura behind.
• The three cannonballs exploded and severely damaged Bright Virtue Hall, prompting Jing Hongchen to rage over the apparent rebellion.

After the Body Sect escaped, Ming Jiang hid beneath the ruins and pretended to be dead while Bright Virtue Hall searched for the mysterious spatial Super Douluo. Jing Hongchen found Ming Jiang’s battered body and prepared to blame Du Busi, but a Soul Engineer noticed that Ming Jiang was still breathing.

• Du Busi taunted Jing Hongchen and fled with the Body Sect, while Jing Hongchen ordered Bright Virtue Hall sealed to find the spatial Super Douluo.
• Ming Jiang returned to the ruins, used his Golden Heart to melt the frost, and waited beneath the debris while his injuries began to heal.
• Ming Jiang deliberately worsened his injuries so the Soul Engineers clearing the rubble would find him looking dead.
• A Soul Engineer uncovered Ming Jiang’s bloodied body as Jing Hongchen returned empty-handed from his search.
• Jing Hongchen saw Ming Jiang’s crushed chest and shouted Du Busi’s name, but a Rank Seven Soul Master noticed Ming Jiang was still breathing.

• The medics discovered that Ming Jiang had life-threatening injuries but that a force within him was helping his body recover, and Elder Zhang began treating him.
• Jing Hongchen left to deal with the political and public consequences of the attack on Bright Virtue Hall and the Body Sect’s pursuit of the Soul Beast Embryo.
