Chapter Summaries

Long Yao ignored Lin Aotian’s challenge on Shrek Field, then accepted his one-month Chief Challenge ultimatum while privately plotting to ruin him. After Zhou Yi assigned the group seats and ordered dawn training, Long Yao returned to the courtyard, where Wang Dong arrived at his door carrying warm spring water and a towel.

• Long Yao led his companions past Lin Aotian and Dai Huabin without responding, provoking Lin Aotian into a furious outburst and triggering his system’s emergency mission.

• Long Yao’s companions praised his composure, and Zhou Yi welcomed the group to their new classroom, assigned seats, and ordered them to attend five o’clock physical and mental training.
• The group returned to their courtyard home, where Long Yao privately resolved to make Lin Aotian suffer rather than kill him outright.
• Wang Dong knocked on Long Yao’s door carrying a basin of hot spring water and a clean towel, and Long Yao opened it to her.

• When the water cooled, Long Yao sent Wang Dong back to her room and kissed her head goodnight.
• Wang Dong returned to Room Five, hid beneath her blanket, and realized she was falling deeply in love with Long Yao.

Long Yao watched Lin Aotian rage over his humiliation, learned that his system could erase or take over Lin Aotian’s system, and discovered that his growing Chaos nature threatened to consume his humanity unless Wang Dong remained his emotional anchor. As Long Yao reflected on that revelation, Dai Huabin came to his door seeking an audience.

• Long Yao used his Live Stream System to watch Lin Aotian vent his fury at Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, his system, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao.

• Long Yao asked his system to assess his mental state and learned that his Chaos nature was assimilating him, while Wang Dong served as his sole Humanity Anchor.
• Dai Huabin knocked on Long Yao’s door late at night and requested an audience.

Long Yao accepted Dai Huabin’s offer of loyalty but made him a spy tasked with reporting on Lin Aotian, giving him a Nine Orifice Marrow Cleansing Pill.

• Dai Huabin returned to Room 203, swallowed the pill in the washroom, and endured a painful cleansing that purified his soul power and strengthened his body.
• After recovering, Dai Huabin looked toward Sea God Lake with reverence for Long Yao and vowed to trample Lin Aotian beneath his feet.

Long Yao accidentally woke his classmates before dawn, then led them to Shrek Academy’s Central Plaza, where Teacher Zhou began the squad’s month of punishing training. The chapter ended with Long Yao assigned twice the others’ weight load for causing the morning chaos.

• Huo Yuhao told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that his Spiritual Power had briefly touched an inexplicable emptiness, deepening Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s curiosity about Long Yao.
• Dai Huabin completed his painful transformation, gaining level thirty-four Soul Power and a purified Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, and accepted his place as Long Yao’s chess piece.

• Zhou Yi ended the training, showed faint approval of the team, and ordered them to attend simulated combat training at two o'clock.

After a brutal training session left the Chief Squad exhausted, Long Yao and his teammates revived themselves enough to help the unconscious Ning Xue. Lin Aotian arrived and insulted the team while trying to buy Wang Dong’s favor, and Long Yao challenged his idea of making her happy.

• Long Yao checked on Wang Dong, then told Xiao Xiao to assess Ning Xue, who had fainted after her Sea of Consciousness was damaged by the training.

After Shrek Academy discussed his victory and Moon ordered that he remain publicly an ordinary Chief Student while receiving secret support, Long Yao woke to Wang Dong bringing him breakfast.

Long Yao secured Mu En’s permission and a Life Imprint to find Bei Bei and Tang Ya, then gave Xuan Zi a Spring of Life to help Mu En recover. He raced toward Ice Fire Demonic Refining Valley with a system-generated plan to cleanse Tang Ya’s corruption and awaken her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

Long Yao used Mu En’s Life Imprint to locate Bei Bei and Tang Ya in a cave beneath a rift valley, where Tang Ya was being consumed by the Soul Devouring Seed. After temporarily suppressing the parasite with a Holy Light Purification Charm, he told Bei Bei they had to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes within twelve hours to save her.

• Long Yao revealed Guardian No. 1, and Bei Bei placed Tang Ya in its life-support pod before they crossed the deadly rift valley.
• Long Yao reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and had Bei Bei place Tang Ya between the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
• After Bei Bei left to guard the valley, Long Yao sealed the ritual area with the True Vast Sea Ring and refined the Holy Healing Dew from the two springs.
• Long Yao called upon Ah Yin’s lingering will and used the Soul Micro-Particle Cluster to retrieve her soul’s remaining golden origin aura.
• The golden aura became an Emperor’s seed, completing the ritual’s Awakening stage as Long Yao’s spiritual and Chaos Soul Power ran low.

Long Yao used the Chaos Holy Dragon and several rare treasures to purify Tang Ya’s soul and awaken her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, completing her rebirth. Tang Ya remained unconscious while Long Yao recovered, and the two Immortal Herb spirits agreed to guard her.

• Long Yao consumed the Original Dragon Soul Marrow, restoring and strengthening his Spiritual Power before beginning the ritual’s third stage.
• Long Yao released the Chaos Holy Dragon and formed a Chaos Guardian Domain around Tang Ya, then used Holy Healing Dew to eradicate the Soul Devouring Seed.
• Long Yao infused Tang Ya with the Blue Silver Emperor Origin Seed while the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass supplied their energies, transforming her Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor and shattering her polluted Spirit Rings.

• The system reported that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was alive and that Long Yao had absorbed only a trace of her Destiny Power, though Di Tian might view him with hostility.
• The human forms of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot pledged to protect Tang Ya while Long Yao entered restorative meditation.

Long Yao recovered at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and used the Power of Destiny to identify Ghost Bone, a Level 94 elder of the Holy Spirit Cult who had planted the Soul Devouring Seed in Tang Ya. After vowing to erase those who hurt her, Long Yao sent Bei Bei to see Tang Ya, who had awakened in a healed and transformed state.

• Long Yao used the system and his fourth Spirit Ring to pierce the Soul Devouring Seed's anti-tracking defenses and uncover Ghost Bone's identity, abilities, and hatred of the Tang Sect.
• Long Yao reacted to Ghost Bone's threat with intense Killing Intent, accepted a fragment of the Scales of Judgment from a viewer, and vowed to make Tang Ya's tormentors disappear.
• Long Yao reassured Bei Bei that they were brothers and partners, then told him Tang Ya was all right and invited him to recover at the valley.
• Bei Bei entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, greeted the Flame-like Little Girl and Frost-like Little Boy, and found Tang Ya healed and transformed into the New Blue Silver Emperor.
• Bei Bei touched Tang Ya's cheek, realized she was alive and well, and broke down in tears of relief beside her.
