Chapter Summaries

Du Weilun held a class monitor election at the Soul Fighting Arena, where nine candidates would be ranked by teachers' and students' scores after defending the ring. Shiyu entered determined to win after Yan Shaozhe promised to arrange his Third Soul Ring, and his opening fight with Wu Feng began with Shiyu gaining the advantage.

Shiyu defeated Huo Yuhao in one move and was named class monitor of Freshman Class One, while Dai Huabin became vice class monitor. The chapter followed Shiyu’s busy new-semester routine and noted that he had earned a first-level Soul Tool Master badge while choosing to prioritize Martial Soul cultivation.

• Shiyu unexpectedly broke through from Rank 29 to Rank 30 during battle, and Jiang Nannan and Zhang Lexuan congratulated him.
• Shiyu told Yan Shaozhe about his breakthrough and asked whether the promised Space Attribute Spirit Beasts had been found.

• Shiyu rejected the Space Mink because its likely teleportation ability duplicated a skill he already had, and chose the Void Mantis for its powerful attacks.
• Yan Shaozhe warned Shiyu that the Void Mantis's age made its Soul Ring risky, but agreed to arrange its capture after Shiyu insisted.

Shiyu prepared to absorb his third Soul Ring by stabilizing his cultivation and traveling toward the Star Dou Forest. The chapter ended as City Lord Shi and two others arrived with a captured Void Mantis for him.

• Shiyu traveled through a Space-Time Tunnel and tried to observe the scenes flashing past him.
• Shiyu emerged in a cramped toilet, changed out of his Shrek Academy School Uniform, and heard cheers from a large event outside.

Shiyu confirmed that he had traveled to Suotuo City ten thousand years in the past after witnessing the Shrek Team battle the Imperial Dou Team. He considered which opportunities from this era he could pursue during his limited stay, settling on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as the most practical possibility.

• Shiyu heard that the Shrek Team was fighting the Imperial Dou Team and hurried from the restroom to find the match.
• Shiyu watched Tang San and the Shrek Team counter Dugu Yan's Jade Scale Purple Poison by igniting it with wine and Ma Hongjun's attack.
• Shiyu recognized the match as the Shrek Team's battle in Suotuo City and concluded that he had returned to the Timeline ten thousand years ago.
• Shiyu estimated how much time had passed in this era and considered whether he might travel between the past and future on a pattern.
• Shiyu ruled out pursuing the City of Slaughter or Sea God Island during his short stay and focused on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a more attainable opportunity.

Shiyu traveled from Suotuo City to Sunset Forest through repeated Teleportation, hoping to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before Tang San took its Immortal Herbs. He arrived before dawn, rested outside the forest, and considered how he might survive an encounter with Dugu Bo.

• Shiyu exchanged Gold Soul Coins for clothes and a map, then set out from Suotuo City toward Sunset Forest.
• Shiyu used repeated short-range Teleportation to cover more than a thousand kilometers before stopping to recover his Soul Power.
• Shiyu slowed his pace, rested and replenished his Soul Power along the way, and reached Sunset Forest a little after four in the morning.
• Shiyu chose to sleep outside the forest rather than enter its dangerous paths at night.
• Shiyu worried that Dugu Bo might be at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and realized a Title Douluo's aura could stop him from using Teleportation.

Shiyu recalled how to treat Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s toxin problems and entered Sunset Forest in search of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He reached a mountain peak, but found a Ten Thousand Year Flying Spirit Beast there instead of the valley he sought.

• Shiyu recalled that Dugu Yan’s toxins could be moved into a Soul Bone and that the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass were key to treating Dugu Bo.
• Shiyu woke at noon and spoke with a noble-looking man and his seven companions, then chose to enter Sunset Forest alone.
• Shiyu used his Space abilities to travel above the forest, evaded a pursuing thousand-year Flying Spirit Beast, and continued toward the mountain peaks.
• Shiyu reached the first peak and discovered a Ten Thousand Year Flying Spirit Beast rather than the hollow valley he was searching for.

Shiyu found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and confirmed that Dugu Bo was absent, then located the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. He prepared to begin his search for the herbs needed for Ice-Fire Golden Body Refinement.

• Shiyu outran the pursuing Ten-thousand-year Azure Eagle and continued searching the mountain peaks.
• Shiyu spotted a distant mountain shrouded in mist and cautiously approached after restoring his Soul Power.
• Shiyu descended into the valley and confirmed that it contained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and that Dugu Bo was not there.
• Shiyu searched the dangerous Medicine Garden while avoiding contact with its plants.
• Shiyu found the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass beside the Cold Spring and identified the Infernal Delicate Apricot beside the Yang Spring.

Shiyu underwent Ice-Fire Golden Body Refinement in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, using the two Immortal Herbs and the spring energies to transform his body and Soul Bones. Dragon God Blood made the energies gentler and greatly accelerated the process; by the following evening, he had completed the refinement with enhanced Soul Bones and changed Eight Spider Lances.

• Shiyu harvested the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass with the Power of Space, then swallowed their combined energy and entered the boundary between the Yang Spring and Cold Spring.
• Shiyu used the spring energies to refine his body with the two Immortal Herbs, and his Soul Power circulated as the four energies gradually transformed him.
• Shiyu activated the Dragon Scale on his left hand, and the Dragon God Blood caused the spring energies to enter his body faster and more gently.
• Shiyu released his Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone and Dark Gold Dreadclaw Soul Bone, then figured out how to direct Ice and Fire Energy into them for tempering.
• Shiyu emerged the following evening after completing the refinement, stronger and covered in Dragon Scales, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, and eight spider legs whose colors and toxins had changed.

Shiyu’s Ice-Fire Golden Body Refinement transformed his Soul Bones, strengthened his body, and gave his Dragon Scale hand a new attack skill. He began harvesting the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, weighing how taking them might change the futures of Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Wu.

• Shiyu’s Eight Spider Lances gained a far more potent ice-fire toxin, while his Dark Gold Dreadclaw and Gold Silver Dragon Claw also improved.
• Shiyu sensed that the Dragon Scale on his left hand had gained a powerful Ice-Fire Mixed Energy attack skill and that his Soul Power had risen by one or two levels.
• Shiyu used Spatial Power to pick the Aromatic Silk Beauty, then began harvesting nearby Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures without destroying their roots and stems.
• Shiyu took the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower despite wondering whether it could alter Ma Hongjun’s descendants, and he collected the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and other Immortal Herbs.
• Shiyu found the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and wondered whether Xiao Wu could survive her Sacrifice without it.

After harvesting the plants around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Shiyu left and tested his strengthened abilities against a Sky Griffin. He drove the Spirit Beast away, then encountered a powerful green-haired old man who had appeared without Shiyu detecting him.

• Shiyu harvested the plants around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and decided to leave the mountain, postponing any attempt to explore the spring's depths.
• Shiyu fought a nearly seven-thousand-year-old Sky Griffin, using Teleportation, the Eight Spider Lances, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, and his Dragon Claw to wound it.
• The poisoned Sky Griffin fled, and Shiyu assessed that his abilities might let him contend with a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
• A dark green-haired old man appeared in the air and praised Shiyu's strength, leaving Shiyu startled by how completely the old man had concealed his presence.

Shiyu met Dugu Bo after defeating a Sky Griffin, and Dugu Bo coveted his apparent Soul Bones. Shiyu offered to reveal a cure for Jade Phosphor Serpent toxin in exchange for Dugu Bo breaking a Spirit Saint’s arms, leaving their bargain pending.

• Dugu Bo watched Shiyu defeat the Sky Griffin and suspected his spider legs and claws were External Soul Bones.
• Shiyu recognized Dugu Bo and explained that his family had once been connected to a Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Master.
• Shiyu told Dugu Bo that he knew a solution to the toxin afflicting Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Masters, and Dugu Bo reacted with surprise and interest.
• Shiyu said he wanted Dugu Bo to break both arms of a Spirit Saint who had pursued him, but asked him not to kill the man.

Shiyu explained a poison-transfer method to Dugu Bo in exchange for his help, persuading him to try the treatment. Dugu Bo offered to take Shiyu to his Medicine Garden to gather the herbs, leaving Shiyu curious but wary.

• Dugu Bo questioned Shiyu’s confidence that his hidden Title Douluo relative could protect him from a Spirit Saint, and Shiyu described the relative’s space abilities.
• Shiyu explained that Jade Phosphor Serpent poison could be transferred into a Soul Bone, with special medicine to reduce the risks.
• Dugu Bo agreed to try the method but warned Shiyu not to deceive him.
• When Shiyu withheld the medicine’s ingredients, Dugu Bo offered to take him to a natural Medicine Garden in the forest.
• Shiyu accepted the offer while hiding his concern about entering the Medicine Garden.
