Chapter Summaries

Bibi Dong warned Huo Yuhao that the God Realm might take notice of the Soul Spirit Contract, while Ye Guyi used her new angel soul spirit to absorb three soul rings at once. Ye Guyi’s soul rings reached ninety thousand years, but she neared her limit before they could become hundred-thousand-year rings, and Bibi Dong suddenly intervened.

• Bibi Dong explained the Soul Spirit Contract’s advantages and cautioned Huo Yuhao that the God Realm might oppose its spread.
• Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong watched as the tiny angel soul spirit helped Ye Guyi absorb her new soul rings.
• Ye Guyi’s soul power surged to Level 80, and she attempted to raise all three new soul rings to a hundred thousand years at once.
• Ye Guyi’s soul rings reached ninety thousand years, but her body strained as she approached her limit.
• Huo Yuhao regretted not warning Ye Guyi against being greedy, and Bibi Dong suddenly made her move.

Huo Yuhao helped Ye Guyi awaken three hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings, then found the Rakshasa Godhood and let the Plane Seed study its divinity. The Plane Seed began transforming with the Power of Faith it had stored, and Huo Yuhao realized the Clear Sky Sect’s Ascension Pavilion could provide more.

• Bibi Dong drew the remaining Angel God power at Jialing Pass into Ye Guyi’s Spirit Rings, raising them to hundred-thousand-year age and greatly increasing her soul power.
• Ye Guyi collapsed from exhaustion, and Huo Yuhao caught her and helped her recover before she returned to the Undead Demigod Plane to consolidate her cultivation.
• Bibi Dong revealed the Rakshasa Godhood’s location, then returned to the Rakshasa Demon Scythe to recuperate after expending much of her strength.
• Huo Yuhao found the Rakshasa Godhood and released the Plane Seed, which drew a small amount of its divinity to study before returning to his Spiritual Sea.
• The Plane Seed consumed its stored Power of Faith to begin transforming, and Huo Yuhao identified the Clear Sky Sect’s Ascension Pavilion as a source of more faith.

Huo Yuhao avoided Tang San’s hidden Power of Faith, brought the Rakshasa Divine Position and Bibi Dong into his Undead Demigod Plane, and planned to use the coming Soul Master Tournament to promote soul spirits. Meanwhile, Tang San joined the Spirit Pagoda, discovered the advantages of soul spirits, and began pursuing a path into Shrek Inner Court.

• Huo Yuhao chose to gather faith through the Spirit Net rather than risk taking the Power of Faith hidden in Ascension Pavilion, then sent the Rakshasa Divine Position to Elder Yi for possible modification.
• Bibi Dong asked Huo Yuhao to let her sleep in the Undead Demigod Plane until he found a suitable inheritor, and he agreed.
• Huo Yuhao planned for the Spirit Pagoda to demonstrate soul spirits at the upcoming Soul Master Tournament while Xu Tianran prepared to use the event to seize the sects’ younger generation.
• Tang San passed the Spirit Pagoda’s evaluation and fused with a thousand-year Grass Snake soul spirit, reaching Soul Power Level 38 after gaining two soul rings.
• Tang San recognized that soul spirits let soul masters guide their soul skills, chose one instead of hunting a Man Faced Demon Spider, and planned to earn Contribution Points through forging to enter Shrek.

Tang San refined his soul skills and continued balancing cultivation with forging as he prepared for the Soul Master Tournament. Meanwhile, Meng Hongchen arranged to meet Huo Yuhao in Shrek City, hoping to grow closer to him, and found him already waiting at their meeting spot.

• Tang San reviewed his Blue Silver Grass soul skills, explaining how Bluesilver Prison and Bluesilver Toughness complemented his earlier entanglement skill.
• Tang San went to Experimental Zone Three to begin forging and earn Contribution Points.
• Xiao Hongchen complained to Meng Hongchen about Shrek's strength and admitted he wanted a soul spirit after seeing hers and suffering recent defeats.

• Meng Hongchen set out early to meet Huo Yuhao near Sea God Lake and discovered that he had arrived before her.

• The Sun Moon Empire's ailing emperor faced a growing succession struggle as the other princes secretly joined forces against Xu Tianran.
• Xu Tianran plotted to hasten the old emperor's death, while he wondered what important thing he had forgotten and found the orange he ate sour.

Xu Tianran ordered an investigation into Shrek’s exchange students while privately planning his succession and hiding his impotence. Huo Yuhao explained how Ju Zi could contract a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, then brought her to the Undead Demigod Plane, where Aromatic Silk Beauty eagerly greeted them.

• Xu Tianran ordered an agent to investigate Ning Tian and He Caitou, then considered his prosthetic legs, a future empress, and a secret plan to continue the imperial bloodline.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on how he had altered Xu Tianran’s memories to let Ju Zi leave and had improved Ju Zi’s cultivation potential.
• Ju Zi asked for grilled fish, and Huo Yuhao later explained how a powerful Soul Spirit could seal its cultivation so she could contract one beyond her Spiritual Power limits.
• Huo Yuhao told Ju Zi that the Soul Spirit Contract now limited a Soul Ring’s initial age to the Soul Master’s physical capacity and allowed it to grow over time.
• Huo Yuhao brought Ju Zi to the Undead Demigod Plane, where Aromatic Silk Beauty appeared and asked whether he had brought her a suitable host.

Huo Yuhao helped Juzi contract with Fragrant Silk Rhubarb, which became her Soul Spirit and granted her powerful orange-based abilities. The chapter explained why Soul Spirits still faced Heavenly Tribulations and left Juzi with Youyou sealed within her, ready to grow alongside her.

• Youyou told Huo Yuhao she wanted to become a Soul Spirit rather than risk dying in a future Heavenly Tribulation, and she agreed to contract with Juzi.
• Huo Yuhao explained that Soul Spirits were subject to Heavenly Tribulations because the God Realm had imposed the rule to prevent another Dragon God from arising among the beast races.
• Youyou and Juzi completed their Soul Spirit Contract, and Juzi gained a black Soul Ring, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, and level sixty-five Soul Power.
• Youyou explained that Juzi's Soul Skill created poison-cleansing, healing oranges, while her Soul Bone made the oranges last indefinitely and gradually improved the aptitude of those who ate them.
• Juzi told Huo Yuhao that the soul bone's ability to clear bodily impurities would especially help her and Ke Ke, who had taken pills for years.

Orange tested her enhanced soul bone skill, which improved and permanently preserved the oranges made by all her soul skills, offering a way to help pill-dependent Soul Masters such as Ke Ke. After Huo Yuyao banned Tang San from the Spirit Net for defending himself, Tang San visited Zhou Yi’s training class and began planning to use her connection to Fan Yu to get into Shrek.

• Orange gave Huo Yuhao a Purple-Peel Orange, and he confirmed that her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone enhanced all her soul skills and made their creations last indefinitely.
• Orange explained that her oranges could gradually improve Ke Ke’s physique, while Huo Yuhao planned to use the immortal herbs’ medicinal ingredients to help his companions advance.
• Huo Yuhao visited the immortal herbs with Orange, gathered some essence, and rejected their attempts to spend their origins producing more.
• Huo Yuhao found Tang San defending Tang San on the Spirit Net and gave him a seven-day ban for inappropriate remarks.
• Tang San accepted Zhou Yi’s training class after learning she was Fan Yu’s wife and considered using her connection to help him enter Shrek.

Tang San secured Zhou Yi’s recommendation for early entry into Shrek Inner Court, though their argument over hidden weapons and Soul Tools left him resentful. Huo Yuhao approved Xuan Zi’s plans to train Tang San, then met Princess Xu Jiujiu at the Spirit Pagoda.

• Tang San broke through to Soul Ancestor and told Zhou Yi that his second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Zhou Yi deduced Tang San’s Twin Martial Souls and desire to enter Shrek, then offered to recommend him for early admission to Shrek Inner Court.

• Zhou Yi introduced Tang San to Xuan Zi, who felt compelled to take him in and train him.
• Huo Yuhao approved Xuan Zi’s plan to train Tang San and later met the waiting Princess Xu Jiujiu at the Spirit Pagoda.

Xu Jiujiu confirmed that Huo Yuhao was the Spirit Pagoda Master and discussed the expansion of Soul Spirit cooperation between the Spirit Pagoda and the Star Luo Empire. Huo Yuhao outlined a new Soul Spirit Ball system and tiered contract fees, and Xu Jiujiu proposed that the Star Luo Imperial Family act as the Spirit Pagoda’s agent.

• Xu Jiujiu confronted Huo Yuhao about his identity as Pagoda Master, and he asked her to keep it secret.
• Xu Jiujiu confessed she would be willing to marry Huo Yuhao, but he redirected their conversation to Soul Spirit business.
• Huo Yuhao explained the Spirit Pagoda’s rules for Soul Spirit contracts and proposed Soul Spirit Balls to store Soul Spirits and encourage bonds with Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao proposed lower processing fees for Soul Masters who brought willing Soul Beasts, including free first contracts for level-ten Soul Masters.
• Xu Jiujiu proposed that the Star Luo Imperial Family act as the Spirit Pagoda’s agent in the Star Luo Empire and asked what price she would need to pay.

Huo Yuhao rejected Xu Jiujiu’s initial proposal to make soul spirits a joint business, but she offered the Star Luo Empire’s support for the Spirit Pagoda’s rules and branches. He then revealed that the Pagoda could greatly accelerate soul spirits’ growth, leaving Xu Jiujiu eager to secure its rare path to hundred-thousand-year soul spirits.

• Huo Yuhao warned Xu Jiujiu that the Star Luo Empire could not claim a share in the soul spirit business, and she realized the Spirit Pagoda relied on the Star Dou Great Forest’s support.
• Xu Jiujiu offered land, funds, and the Star Luo Empire’s cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda, while Huo Yuhao asked her to confirm that the proposal had imperial backing.
• Huo Yuhao promised the Star Luo Imperial Family privileges and preferential Soul Spirit Contract policies, then offered Xu Jiujiu an internal benefit after noting Little Silver’s slow progress.
• Xu Jiujiu explained that Little Silver had helped raise her earlier soul ring ages, and Huo Yuhao revealed that the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill and other methods could accelerate soul spirit growth.
• Huo Yuhao said the Spirit Pagoda could help selected soul spirits reach hundred-thousand-year cultivation within hundreds rather than thousands of years, but only a handful could currently receive that support.

Huo Yuhao negotiated a Soul Spirit partnership with Xu Jiujiu and the Star Luo Imperial Family, promising help with raising Soul Spirits and cross-level contracts. The deal ended with Xu Jiujiu kissing him, and Meng Hongchen later mocked her for stopping at a kiss.

• Xu Jiujiu considered the value and limitations of inheritable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits, then asked Huo Yuhao whether the Spirit Pagoda could help Soul Masters contract them despite insufficient Spiritual Power.
• Huo Yuhao said the Spirit Pagoda had exclusive methods for cross-level contracts and offered to teach Xu Jiujiu as their cooperation deepened; he also explained the upcoming Soul Spirit Contract update.
• Xu Jiujiu contacted Xu Jiawei through the Spirit Net, and the Star Luo Imperial Family agreed to cooperate while requesting a larger discount and priority access to outstanding Soul Spirits.

• Xu Jiujiu kissed Huo Yuhao as a personal reward, then fled in embarrassment.
• Meng Hongchen heard what had happened and mocked Xu Jiujiu for being embarrassed after only a kiss.

Huo Yuhao oversaw Shrek’s changes and led a Sea God Pavilion meeting that selected teams for the upcoming Soul Master Tournament. The chapter ended with Ye Guyi, now a Rank 84 Soul Douluo, eager to challenge Huo Yuhao.

• Yan Shaozhe retired as Martial Soul Department Dean, Cai Mei'er became Dean, and Ma Xiaotao became Vice Dean while Yan Shaozhe joined the Sea God Pavilion Elders.
• Huo Yuhao’s reforms won the Elders’ support after Mu En helped them accept Shrek’s partnership with the Spirit Pagoda.
• Xian Lin'er attended a Sea God Pavilion Meeting where Yan Shaozhe reported that the tournament would allow sects to register.
• Huo Yuhao led the Elders in choosing Beibei’s Shrek team and Qiu'er's Spirit Pagoda team for the tournament, with Huo Yuhao serving as instructor.
• Ye Guyi returned from training with Rank 84 cultivation and wanted to fight Huo Yuhao.

Ye Guyi challenged Huo Yuhao to test her strength after her Seraphim Martial Soul evolved, and he agreed to assess her progress and temper her confidence. Their sparring escalated as Huo Yuhao revealed his extreme-cold and necromantic abilities, leaving Ye Guyi forced to use her strongest defense while Tang San sensed a familiar aura in the God Realm.

• Ye Guyi sought out Huo Yuhao for a sparring match after defeating Ji Juechen and sweeping through the Spirit Pagoda’s younger generation.
• Ye Guyi unleashed her six-winged Seraphim Martial Soul Avatar and Angel Domain, then attacked Huo Yuhao with the Angel Sacred Sword and several enhanced soul skills.
• Huo Yuhao used Everfrost Domain and Deep Blue Dragon Breath to withstand Ye Guyi’s assault, while she realized she still could not gauge his full strength.
• Huo Yuhao countered with Extreme Cold Ice Shadow and used Necromancy to overwhelm Ye Guyi’s sacred light, then detonated the skill around her.
• Ye Guyi activated Angel’s Protection to shield herself from Huo Yuhao’s attack, while Tang San sensed a familiar aura in the God Realm.

Tang San traced Huo Yuhao’s visit to Jialing Pass and began arranging a new scheme involving a Clear Sky Hammer wielder. At the Clear Sky Sect, Titan set out for Shrek to temper the young man, while Niu Tian stayed behind and considered trying the Spirit Net.

• Tang San sensed Angel and Rakshasa auras at Jialing Pass, used the Douluo Plane’s destiny to discover Huo Yuhao had visited, and mistakenly concluded he had come for Ye Guyi.
• Tang San decided to use the alias Tang Yin and told Da Ming to have the Clear Sky Sect take special care of a talented young man with Twin Martial Souls.
• Niu Tian and Titan discussed whether to seek God of Destruction’s protection, but Niu Tian favored waiting for Huo Yuhao to grow stronger and help protect Wang Dong'er.
• After receiving Tang San’s instructions, Niu Tian and Titan found the sect records about Tang Shao and agreed that Titan would go temper his son at Shrek.
• Titan left for Shrek, while Niu Tian wondered whether the Spirit Net and Spirit Machine Soul Tool were worth trying.

Tang San entered Shrek’s Inner Court and used a Golden Tree meditation session to contact Ah Yin, who awakened his Blue Silver bloodline potential. His Blue Silver Grass and Grass Snake Soul Spirit evolved, his Soul Power rose to rank forty-five, and Xuan Zi arrived astonished by the transformation.

• Wang Yan told Tang San that Xuan Zi had approved his entry into Shrek’s Inner Court despite his use of hidden weapons during the assessment.
• Tang San went to the Golden Tree’s meditation room and cut his hand to draw Ah Yin’s attention with his bloodline.
• Ah Yin contacted Tang San and explained that she could awaken his potential but could not directly give him a complete Blue Silver bloodline.
• Ah Yin’s power triggered Tang San’s memories of Xiao Wu to return as his Blue Silver Grass and Grass Snake Soul Spirit evolved, his first Spirit Ring turned purple, and his Soul Power reached rank forty-five.
• Tang San tested his stronger Blue Silver Grass with Bluesilver Grass Entanglement, and Xuan Zi appeared and marveled at his awakening.

Tang San pursued the Eight Spider Lances and asked Wang Yan to arrange a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, while rejecting a valuable Soul Bone offered as a tournament reward. Elsewhere, Huo Yuhao blocked Ye Guyi's strongest attack, and their spar ended with Ye Guyi pouncing on him.

• Xuan Zi found Tang San beneath the Golden Tree, brought him to the Inner Court, and assigned him to Wang Yan rather than accepting him as a disciple.
• Tang San planned to hunt Man Faced Demon Spiders for the Eight Spider Lances, and Wang Yan showed him a twenty-five-thousand-year Vinewood Snake Soul Bone as a possible reward for tournament success.
• Tang San rejected the Soul Bone and insisted on seeking the Eight Spider Lances, so Wang Yan agreed to discuss taking him to the Star Dou Great Forest with Xuan Zi.
• Wang Yan reported Tang San's request to Xuan Zi and kept the Vinewood Snake Soul Bone in reserve.
• Ye Guyi used her Death Angel Soul Skill against Huo Yuhao, but he blocked it with Time-Space Protection.
• Ye Guyi protested that Huo Yuhao had not told her about the spatial and temporal Soul Skill, then pounced on him and bit his neck.

Ye Guyi went from stealing kisses from Huo Yuhao to spending the night with him after Han Ruoruo coached her, while Huo Yuhao welcomed her advances. The chapter then shifted to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Tang San defeated a Man Faced Demon Spider and Xuan Zi appeared to comment on his fight and hidden weapon.

• Ye Guyi used sparring as an excuse to kiss Huo Yuhao, and Han Ruoruo later gave her advice on how to take things further.
• Ye Guyi visited Huo Yuhao late at night, accepted his invitation to stay, and spent the night with him.
• Huo Yuhao woke beside Ye Guyi the next morning as she murmured that she would never admit defeat and would stay with him for life.
• Tang San fought and defeated a roughly five-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest using his soul skills and hidden weapons.
• Xuan Zi revealed that he had been watching Tang San and praised his victory, but said his Godly Zhuge Crossbow was outdated compared with the Spirit Pagoda's weapons.

Tang San hunted a Man Faced Demon Spider with Xuan Zi, but it yielded no Eight Spider Lances, while Tang San considered how Soul Spirits could aid cultivation. After Xuan Zi left to find food, Huo Yuhao turned his attention to developing low-age Artificial Soul Spirits for the Spirit Pagoda.

• Tang San resented the Spirit Pagoda Tool Hall for adapting Tang Sect hidden weapons into Soul Tools, while Xuan Zi urged him to abandon hidden weapons.
• Tang San recalled that Xuan Zi had made him fight a five-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider alone, but the beast dropped no soul bone or Eight Spider Lances.
• Xuan Zi went to look for food and told Tang San to stay put, while Tang San reflected on Soul Spirits' benefits and Xuan Zi's weak Spiritual Power.
• Tang San buried the spider's corpse, set up two tents, and meditated while Soul Spirit Xiao Wu kept watch.
• Huo Yuhao concluded that improving Spiritual Power techniques mattered less than developing low-age Artificial Soul Spirits to address the Spirit Pagoda's growing shortage.

Gu Yue Na advised Huo Yuhao that Artificial Soul Spirits were not practical to develop yet, and he decided to trust future generations. They discussed how the improved, equal Soul Spirit Contract could benefit both Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, and Gu Yue Na considered his suggestion to place loyal Soul Beasts in Soul Master families as Inherited Soul Spirits.

• Gu Yue Na explained why Artificial Soul Spirits were too flawed and difficult to produce for the current era, and Huo Yuhao abandoned the idea of researching them.
• Huo Yuhao reflected that his Soul Spirit Contract with Elder Yi had safeguards and avoided the coercion and exploitation seen in the Original Work.
• Gu Yue Na explained that the improved contract let Soul Beasts continue cultivating as Soul Spirits and made voluntary partnerships more appealing.
• Huo Yuhao suggested that Gu Yue Na's loyal Soul Beasts join Soul Master families early and become Inherited Soul Spirits that could support harmony between the two groups.
• Gu Yue Na was tempted by Huo Yuhao's idea and pulled him into another round of battle.
