Chapter Summaries

Su Xing, a transmigrator with a Coin Martial Soul and low innate talent, spent six years researching how to grow stronger without relying on Soul Rings. He destroyed his first Soul Ring and, with his Soul Power easier to control, prepared to create a Railgun Spirit Skill.

• Su Xing recalled how Grandmaster rejected him as a disciple and how Tang San and Xiao Wu kept their distance, so he chose to rely on himself.

• Su Xing released and detonated his four-hundred-year Soul Ring, then found that his Soul Power remained while its control felt more natural.
• Su Xing summoned his Coin Martial Soul, confirmed its evolved Lightning attribute remained after the detonation, and attempted to create a Railgun Spirit Skill.

• Su Jinlong and Lin Qianyue found Su Xing alive and experimenting, then froze at the destruction his Railgun had caused.

After proving that his self-created Railgun made him a Combat Spirit Master, Su Xing gained his parents’ support and spent half a year tempering his body until his Soul Power reached level 27.

• Yu Xiaogang arrived at Shrek Academy and reunited with Flender, who told him Tang San had made Zhao Wuji suffer a loss.

Flender told Yu Xiaogang that Su Xing had become a level-twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster despite once having only level-three Innate Soul Power, and Yu Xiaogang eagerly investigated how he had grown so strong.

• Prince Xue Qinghe arrived, asked what was happening, and looked toward Su Xing.
