Chapter Summaries

Wang Nan helped the Inner Courtyard Disciples survive the Eclipse Moon Mad Mastiff’s attack, and the group awarded him its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Back at Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan began absorbing the beast’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion sensed that her tribulation had arrived.

• Wang Nan interrupted the Eclipse Moon Mad Mastiff’s Lunar Eclipse with a staff strike, but the beast counterattacked and nearly struck him before Zhang Lexuan tackled him aside.
• Xuan Zi arrived, subdued the Eclipse Moon Mad Mastiff, and agreed to let Zhang Lexuan try to obtain its soul ring; the disciples chose Wang Nan to receive its soul bone.
• Xuan Zi carried the disciples out of the Star Dou Great Forest, where the Three-Eyed Golden Lion told Scarlet King that she could no longer sense fate clearly and that her tribulation had arrived.
• After returning to Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan began absorbing the Eclipse Moon Mad Mastiff’s soul ring under Mu En’s watch, and her aura gradually stabilized.

Wang Nan absorbed the Eclipse Moon Mad Mastiff’s left leg Soul Bone, then went to Shrek Academy’s new student registration at Mu En’s request. There, he watched Wang Yan question the new student Wang Dong, whose claim to be male contradicted Wang Yan’s records about the Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul.

• Mu En gave Wang Nan the Eclipse Moon Mad Mastiff’s left leg Soul Bone and explained how Soul Bones could strengthen him and raise his Soul Ring limit.
• Wang Nan absorbed the Soul Bone, purified its blood-red influence with the Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon, and gained a new Soul Skill.
• After seven days, Wang Nan woke to find Zhang Lexuan had absorbed her Eighth Soul Ring; she told him Mu En was waiting near the new student dormitories.
• At Shrek Plaza, Wang Nan reunited with his Second Uncle, Wang Yan, who was handling new student registration.
• Wang Nan recognized the pinkish-blue-haired Wang Dong and overheard Wang Yan question him about his gender because Wang Yan’s records said the Light Goddess Butterfly appeared only in female Soul Masters.

Wang Dong enrolled at Shrek Academy, where Wang Yan recognized that she was a girl and arranged to keep her out of the boys’ dormitory. Wang Nan discussed his new Soul Bone with Mu En, who then offered him a chance to hunt a Dragon Carp in the Star Luo Empire with Lexuan.

• Wang Yan deduced that Wang Dong was a girl and said he would apply for a private dorm room rather than let her live with the boys.
• Wang Dong proceeded to the Soul Fighting Zone for her enrollment assessment while Wang Nan went to meet Mu En.

• Mu En explained that a Dragon Carp descended from the Heavenly Scale Sect’s Dragon Transformation Secret Art had reappeared along the Star Luo Empire’s coast.
• Mu En offered to send Wang Nan to hunt the Dragon Carp with Lexuan, whose Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring could help her handle opponents below the Titled Douluo level.

Wang Nan traveled with Zhang Lexuan to Binhai Port to search for the Dragon Carp, while Huo Yuhao moved into Shrek Academy and learned about the dormitory’s legendary senior. After Wang Nan sensed a mysterious call from far out at sea, the Dragon Carp appeared near the shore.

• Mu En sent Wang Nan on an Inspection Mission to find the Dragon Carp near Binhai Port and stop it if he could not absorb its soul ring.

• Wang Nan sensed a distant call in his Spiritual Sea, then saw an enormous black-scaled carp leap from the sea.

Wang Nan and Zhang Lexuan found the Dragon Carp, which had come seeking the dragon aura of Wang Nan’s Martial Soul. After they stopped its escape and it revealed its Dragon Transformation Secret Art, Zhang Lexuan struck it down, leaving it alive for Wang Nan to claim its Soul Ring.

• The Dragon Carp emerged onshore and told Wang Nan it wanted him to advance its bloodline.
• Zhang Lexuan attacked the Dragon Carp with Moonfall, and it fled when it realized it could not defeat her.
• Wang Nan pursued the Dragon Carp and used his Third Soul Skill to disrupt its flight and slow it down.
• The Dragon Carp begged for its life and offered its Dragon Transformation Secret Art, claiming it could evolve Wang Nan’s Martial Soul into a true dragon.
• Zhang Lexuan’s attack turned the sky blood-red and brought the Dragon Carp crashing to shore, but she held back from killing it.

Wang Nan rejected the Dragon Carp’s Dragon Transformation Secret Art, absorbed its Soul Ring, and reached level sixty-four. He and Zhang Lexuan prepared to return, while Wang Nan sensed something waiting deep in the ocean and decided he was not ready to search for it.

• Zhang Lexuan warned Wang Nan about the Dragon Transformation Secret Art, and he killed the dying Dragon Carp rather than use its method.
• Wang Nan absorbed the Dragon Carp’s ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring as Zhang Lexuan stood guard.
• In his Spiritual Sea, Wang Nan watched the Black-Forehead Golden Carp leap alongside the Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon until the carp merged into it.
• The Soul Ring’s power pushed Wang Nan past his bottleneck to level sixty-four, making him a six-ringed Soul Emperor.
• Wang Nan and Zhang Lexuan prepared to leave, and Wang Nan sensed something waiting in the depths but chose to return later.

• The next morning, Wang Nan visited Ma Xiaotao, learned she had reached level sixty-five, and said he was confident he could resolve her Martial Soul problem.

Wang Nan brought Ma Xiaotao to the Sea God Pavilion and used the Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon to purify the evil fire in her Martial Soul. As Ma Xiaotao’s Phoenix Shadow grew stronger and the ice bed began to melt, Mu En and Yan Shaozhe watched over them.

• Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao went to the Sea God Pavilion, where Mu En agreed to help and led them to a Quiet Room.
• Mu En explained that Ma Xiaotao had struggled to control her Martial Soul since childhood and that the academy’s attempts to suppress her evil fire had failed.
• Ma Xiaotao and Wang Nan sat on the Ten-Thousand Year Cold Ice Bed, and Wang Nan used the Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon to purify her evil fire.
• Wang Nan’s Spiritual Power grew as the Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon surrounded Ma Xiaotao with golden light.
• Ma Xiaotao’s flames brightened and her Phoenix Shadow solidified, drawing Yan Shaozhe to the room as the Ten-Thousand Year Cold Ice Bed began to melt.

• Ma Xiaotao’s transformation raised her Soul Power Level to sixty-seven, while Wang Nan realized he could compress his soul power to make it denser.
• A Phoenix Shadow and Wang Nan’s Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon rose above Sea God Island and were seen by students outside Shrek Academy’s Outer Courtyard.
• Wang Nan woke after several days of meditation, thanked Ma Xiaotao, and learned from Mu En that purifying her Evil Fire had taken several days.
• Wang Nan left the Sea God Pavilion and met Beibei, who asked whether he remembered Tang Ya.
• Wang Nan explained that he had encountered Tang Ya during her Outer Courtyard registration, and Beibei began asking whether they had met before.

Wang Nan explained that Tang Ya feared his Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon because of the devouring power in her Martial Soul, and left Beibei and Tang Ya to decide whether to seek his help. Three months later, Wang Nan joined Shrek Academy's reception of Star Luo princess Xu Jiujiu, whose visit reached Sea God Island as its real purpose came into view.

• Wang Nan told Beibei that Tang Ya's fear came from the evil aura in her Martial Soul and said they could seek his help if they chose.
• Beibei remained silent, then headed toward the Outer Courtyard after making a decision.
• Over the next three months, Wang Nan compressed his soul power without raising his level, making his aura more restrained.
• Wang Nan, Yan Shaozhe, Du Weilun, and Zhang Lexuan welcomed Xu Jiujiu and her procession at Shrek Academy's eastern gate.
• Xu Jiujiu said she was visiting in her own capacity, then entered the academy with Shattered Star Enshrinement while the rest of her entourage waited outside.
• Du Weilun guided Xu Jiujiu through the academy, and the group reached Seagod Lake, where they prepared to board a boat for Sea God Island.

Xu Jiujiu warned Xuan Zi that the Sun Moon Empire was colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult and sought Shrek Academy’s help, but Xuan Zi refused to abandon the academy’s neutrality. She then presented Shrek with the God Sealing Platform, which contained the Snow Empress, and revealed that it might grant a Soul Master a new Martial Soul.

• Xu Jiujiu told Xuan Zi that the Sun Moon Empire had ties to the Holy Spirit Cult and warned that another disaster could threaten the continent.
• Xu Jiujiu asked Shrek Academy to work with the Star Luo Empire, but Xuan Zi refused to compromise the academy’s neutrality while affirming that Shrek would oppose Evil Soul Masters.

• Xu Jiujiu explained that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had been captured during its transformation into a human and sealed inside the God Sealing Platform.
• Xu Jiujiu revealed that the God Sealing Platform might give a Soul Master a new Martial Soul.

After Xu Jiujiu brought Shrek Academy a mysterious treasure and proposed an Evil Extermination Alliance, Shrek’s leaders discussed the offer through the night. Xuan Zi ordered the seven Soul Fighting Competition participants to train for victory over the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Tool Academy, while Xu Jiawei explained that Star Luo needed Shrek’s support before war began.

• Xu Jiujiu presented the God Sealing Platform, said its embryo could grant a soul master a new Martial Soul or yield a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and proposed creating an Evil Extermination Alliance.
• Xuan Zi declined to commit Shrek Academy to the alliance, and Xu Jiujiu left after discussing the proposal with the academy’s leaders.
• Xuan Zi summoned the seven Soul Fighting Competition participants and told them the Sun Moon Empire had colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Xuan Zi ordered the participants to defeat the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Tool Academy and claim the championship to keep Star Luo’s supreme treasure out of Sun Moon’s hands.
• Xu Jiujiu questioned Xu Jiawei about giving Shrek the treasure, and Xu Jiawei said the gift and alliance would make it harder for Shrek Academy to remain neutral when war began.

After a long stretch of training, Wang Nan returned home and reunited with his parents as Star Luo City prepared for the Soul Fighting Competition.
