Chapter Summaries

Shiyu received a Soul Ring sponsorship and joined the group heading to the Star Dou Forest, where he reunited with Jiang Nannan and clashed with Xu Sanshi. The chapter ended with Jiang Nannan shielding Shiyu as Xu Sanshi unleashed his Soul Power.

• Shao Wentao offered Shiyu a Soul Ring sponsorship in exchange for performing well in the Freshman Assessment, and Shiyu promised to place in the top three.
• The Soul Hunting Department assigned Shiyu to a team leaving soon for the Star Dou Forest, and Zhang Lexuan noticed him repeatedly using Space Movement on his way to the school gate.
• Xu Sanshi brought breakfast to Jiang Nannan, who reminded him of their bet, and Shiyu arrived at the gate to join the Soul Hunting Team.
• Shiyu and Jiang Nannan greeted each other warmly, and Jiang Nannan explained that the team was the same group taking her to obtain a Soul Ring.
• Xu Sanshi demanded that Shiyu stay away from Jiang Nannan, but Shiyu reminded him of their bet and mocked his broken promise.
• Xu Sanshi released his Soul Power in anger, and Jiang Nannan stepped in front of Shiyu and countered the pressure.

Shiyu joined Zhang Lexuan, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan on a soul-hunting trip to the Star Dou Forest, while tensions with Xu Sanshi remained unresolved. Once they entered the forest, Shiyu used his space-related senses to detect a concealed poisonous snake and proved his warning right.

• Zhang Lexuan stopped Xu Sanshi from attacking Shiyu and warned the students to cooperate during their soul hunt.
• Zhang Lexuan led Shiyu, Xu Sanshi, Beibei, and Jiang Nannan toward the Star Dou Forest for her assessment task.
• On the way, Zhang Lexuan noticed that Shiyu used an unusual ability to travel without becoming tired.
• After the group entered the forest, Shiyu sensed a snake waiting ahead, though Xu Sanshi doubted him.
• Beibei caught a poisonous snake as it lunged, confirming Shiyu's warning.

The group searched the Star Dou Forest for suitable Soul Rings, and Shiyu used his first Soul Skill to save Jiang Nannan from a Thunderclap Wolf. After Beibei absorbed the wolf’s Soul Ring, Xu Sanshi grew angry at Jiang Nannan’s warmth toward Shiyu and warned him to stay away from her.

• Shiyu warned Xu Sanshi about a hidden venomous Tree Snake, and Zhang Lexuan reprimanded Xu Sanshi for refusing to acknowledge Shiyu’s help.
• After searching the forest for half a day, the group found no suitable Soul Beasts and continued deeper to seek Soul Rings for Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan.

• Beibei and Xu Sanshi defeated the Thunderclap Wolf, and Beibei began absorbing its purple Soul Ring.
• Jiang Nannan thanked Shiyu and treated him warmly, prompting Xu Sanshi to shout at Shiyu to stay away from her.

After Beibei completed absorbing his Soul Ring, the group found a safer campsite for the night, where Shiyu ended up sharing a tent with Jiang Nannan. Unable to sleep, they began a quiet conversation about her Fourth Soul Ring.

• Shiyu continued teasing Xu Sanshi by staying close to Jiang Nannan while Zhang Lexuan guarded Beibei during his Soul Ring absorption.
• Beibei awakened after completing the absorption, and Zhang Lexuan checked on him while he kept his distance from her.
• Zhang Lexuan led the group to a safer campsite because the blood scent was attracting Spirit Beasts.
• At Zhang Lexuan's suggestion, Jiang Nannan agreed to let Shiyu share her tent, despite Xu Sanshi's objections.
• Shiyu and Jiang Nannan lay awake in the tent, and Shiyu asked what kind of Spirit Beast she wanted for her Fourth Soul Ring.

Shiyu and his companions searched the Star Dou Forest for Soul Rings, and Jiang Nannan gained her Fourth Soul Ring from a Diamond Rabbit. The group then found a rare Void Turtle that suited Shiyu but was too old for him to absorb, so Xu Sanshi claimed it for his own Fourth Soul Ring.

• Shiyu and Jiang Nannan discussed their preferred Soul Beasts before falling asleep in the same tent.
• After a day of searching, Jiang Nannan chose a Diamond Rabbit, and Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Shiyu helped defeat it.
• Jiang Nannan absorbed the Diamond Rabbit's Soul Ring and gained Invincible Golden Body, then shared the skill with Shiyu.
• The group found a Void Turtle estimated to be five thousand to seven thousand years old, too old for Shiyu to absorb.
• Xu Sanshi claimed the Void Turtle for his Fourth Soul Ring, and Zhang Lexuan agreed it suited him.

Shiyu and the others found two Void Turtles, and Zhang Lexuan quickly defeated the stronger one. Xu Sanshi tried to kill the weaker turtle before Shiyu could claim it, leaving Shiyu injured but with the turtle dead and potentially available as his Soul Ring.

• Shiyu sensed a second, weaker Void Turtle, and Zhang Lexuan chose to handle the stronger one while Shiyu and the others went after the smaller one.
• Zhang Lexuan used her third Soul Skill to pierce the stronger Void Turtle's shell and leave it near death.
• Jiang Nannan, Beibei, and Xu Sanshi wounded the smaller Void Turtle, but Xu Sanshi tried to kill it despite Shiyu's objections.
• Shiyu lifted the turtle with his First Soul Skill, then used spatial and temporal powers and his Eight Spider Lances to block Xu Sanshi's strike, taking the blow and being knocked down.
• Jiang Nannan kicked Xu Sanshi away and helped Shiyu, while Shiyu threatened to settle things with Xu Sanshi later.
• The dying Void Turtle bit Shiyu's lower leg and refused to release him until Shiyu stabbed it with his Eight Spider Lances; Jiang Nannan then treated his wound.

Zhang Lexuan punished Xu Sanshi for trying to interfere with Shiyu’s chance to obtain a suitable Soul Ring and warned Shiyu against seeking dangerous revenge. After Xu Sanshi killed the Void Turtle, Shiyu prepared to risk absorbing its thousand-year Soul Ring as his Second Soul Ring.

• Zhang Lexuan treated Shiyu’s injury and confronted Xu Sanshi for trying to kill the Void Turtle before Shiyu could obtain its Soul Ring.
• Zhang Lexuan reported that Xu Sanshi’s actions would be brought before the academy and forced him to roll toward the Void Turtle as punishment.
• Xu Sanshi threatened to take revenge on Zhang Lexuan, then killed the Void Turtle and claimed its Soul Ring.
• Zhang Lexuan warned Shiyu that killing another student would bring severe punishment, and Shiyu chose to absorb the thousand-year Soul Ring.

Shiyu completed absorbing his Thousand-Year Soul Ring, then crossed through a Space-Time Tunnel into what appeared to be the modern era. He recognized cars, skyscrapers, and modern clothing, and wondered if he had finally returned to his original world.

• Shiyu emerged in a narrow alley and saw people in modern clothes and a car passing on the street.
• Shiyu left the alley, saw roads, cars, skyscrapers, and large advertising screens, and realized he had reached the modern era.

Shiyu discovered that he had transmigrated to Eastsea City on Douluo Continent, thousands of years after the era he knew, and began seeking a way to learn the exact Timeline and make use of his seven days there. He headed for an antique shop to sell his old Silver Soul Coins, while his Shrek Academy uniform drew attention from passersby.

• Shiyu asked a young woman where he was and learned that he was in Eastsea City, part of the East Sea Administrative Region.
• Shiyu realized he was on Douluo Continent during the era of Legend of the Dragon King and estimated that his stay would last seven days.
• Shiyu decided to determine the exact Timeline before choosing what to do, then came up with the idea of selling his Silver Soul Coins for money.
• Shiyu asked passersby for directions to an antique shop and hurried toward the location they gave him.
• Passersby recognized Shiyu's Shrek Academy uniform and asked for photos and autographs, but he politely refused.

• Shiyu considered joining the Spirit Pagoda to access Soul Spirit technology, then decided to take things one step at a time.

After demonstrating his unusually pure Space Martial Soul and instant teleportation to Vice Tower Master Li, he left the powerful official impressed.

• Shiyu entered the Spirit Pagoda and filled out an application, claiming to be the only son of reclusive parents who were both Title Douluo and Three-Word Battle Armor Masters.

• Shiyu demonstrated sudden, fluctuation-free teleportation around the office, startling the Staff Member and catching Vice Tower Master Li off guard.
• Vice Tower Master Li reacted cautiously when Shiyu appeared behind him and patted his shoulder, then accepted Shiyu's apology and regarded him with renewed interest.

Shiyu demonstrated his silent teleportation to Vice Tower Master Li, who recognized his potential and offered him a place in the Spirit Pagoda’s Battle Heaven Department. Shiyu accepted and began filling out the application, which included a loyalty agreement restricting his ties to other factions.

Shiyu killed Tang Wulin and fought off Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, using his powerful Space Means to evade their attacks. After Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were eliminated, Gu Yue confronted Shiyu and gave him her name, promising to face him in the real world.

• Shiyu tore Tang Wulin apart inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, and Wu Changkong carried the shaken Tang Wulin from his pod and soothed his injured soul.

• Vice Tower Master Li returned and said Tower Master Qian Gu would resolve the grudge if Shiyu became his prospective disciple before a later formal acceptance.
• Shiyu learned that Qian Gu had watched his battle footage and praised his talent, though he suspected the offer also reflected rivalry with the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo.
