Chapter Summaries

After transmigrating into six-year-old Su Yu’s body in the Peerless Tang Sect era, Su Yu fled the Evil Soul Masters who had destroyed his village. Cornered by a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, he used his Blue Silver Grass to hide, then gained an insight into its vitality and prepared to turn the pursuer’s game against him.

• Su Yu recovered memories of his life as Xiao Yu and learned that his parents had helped him escape the Evil Soul Masters who attacked their village.
• Su Yu sensed a blood-soaked Evil Soul Master approaching and realized he could not outrun the pursuer while exhausted.
• Su Yu studied his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, learned to conceal his presence and communicate with nearby Blue Silver Grass, and hid among the plants.
• The Evil Soul Master revealed he had stayed nearby and taunted Su Yu, who sprang out and ran to create distance.
• While fleeing, Su Yu gained insight into Blue Silver Grass’s vitality and developed the Grafting Technique, then borrowed Soul Power from the surrounding plants as he tracked the Evil Soul Master’s movements.

Su Yu used his Grafting Technique to kill the Evil Soul Master Wang Yue, then searched his belongings for money and anything useful. He found an Intermediate Meditation Method and was surprised by how simple it seemed.

• Wang Yue formed a Blue Silver Grass spear that nearly struck him, but he laughed at Su Yu and let his guard down.
• Su Yu sent a Blue Silver Grass seed into Wang Yue's mouth and used the Grafting Technique to kill him from within.
• Su Yu confirmed Wang Yue was dead, rested, and reflected on arriving in the Peerless Tang Sect era and his distrust of the God King.
• Su Yu searched Wang Yue's belongings with Blue Silver Grass and found ten Gold Soul Coins, a Storage Ring, a Soul Tool dagger, and several books and strange objects.
• Su Yu recognized an Intermediate Meditation Method, read through it, and wondered whether he had misunderstood how simple it was.

After reaching Moon Gazing City, Su Yu settled in and learned enough to read the Intermediate Meditation Method. He tested it, judged its benefits limited, and began considering how better cultivation techniques might work.

• Su Yu reached Moon Gazing City, rented a courtyard for a month, and decided that learning to read was his next priority.
• Su Yu hired a Teacher and learned basic literacy in three days with the aid of Heaven-Defying Comprehension.
• Su Yu used a dictionary to read the Intermediate Meditation Method and found its instructions were simpler than he had expected.
• Su Yu practiced the method, sensed his Martial Soul and the Primordial Energy around him, and recognized its value in supporting meditation and cultivation.
• Su Yu concluded that the method's cultivation benefits might weaken at the Soul Grandmaster level and considered whether Soul Power circulation routes could improve cultivation speed.

After reaching Level Four through a month of cultivation, Su Yu sought a larger courtyard for Mimetic Cultivation and learned that people watching him had a Soul Master backing them. He arranged to view an expensive suburban house, but its rent would consume nearly all his remaining money.

• Su Yu broke through to Level Four after cultivating for a month and decided to find a place suited to Mimetic Cultivation.
• Several peddlers continued watching Su Yu's residence, hoping to take advantage of his money when he came outside.
• Su Yu left to look for a new house and decided to find out who was behind the people watching him.
• Su Yu asked Qian Tong about a larger courtyard, and Qian Tong explained that the watchers had a weak Soul Master backing them.
• Qian Tong offered Su Yu a suburban house with a hundred-square-meter courtyard for eight Gold Soul Coins, and Su Yu asked whether the price could be lowered.

Su Yu rented a house from Qian Tong, then was surrounded by Wang Meng and three accomplices while searching for shops. He killed the three accomplices with Blue Silver Grass and fatally struck Wang Meng with a Soul Tool dagger, leaving Wang Meng pleading for help.

• Su Yu agreed to rent Qian Tong's house and deferred deciding whether to pay for meal and water delivery services.
• Su Yu left to search for nearby shops and encountered Wang Meng, an eleventh-level Soul Master who demanded his money.
• Wang Meng's three accomplices emerged and surrounded Su Yu, who used Blue Silver Grass to restrain all four men.
• Su Yu's Grafting Technique pierced the three accomplices' mouths and killed them, while Wang Meng broke free using his first soul skill.
• Su Yu summoned a Soul Tool dagger and threw it through Wang Meng's chest, leaving him wounded on the ground and pleading for help.

Su Yu cultivated among the Blue Silver Grass in his courtyard, developed a Martial Soul Activation Method, and refined a Body Tempering Method. After reaching the peak of Level 9, he broke through to Level 10 and needed only a soul ring to become a Soul Master.

• Su Yu ignored Wang Meng's pleas, searched his belongings, and returned home after finding only a few Soul Coins.
• Su Yu filled his courtyard with Blue Silver Grass and discovered that cultivating among it made Primordial Energy easier to sense and refine into soul power.
• After a month of study, Su Yu developed the incomplete Martial Soul Activation Method, which could imitate some effects of Mimetic Cultivation.
• Over the following year, the Blue Silver Grass began generating soul power, and Su Yu advanced to the peak of Level 9.
• Su Yu perfected the Body Tempering Method and used it with his Meditation Method to break through to Level 10.

Su Yu studied how spirit rings could evolve his Blue Silver Grass and decided to prioritize vitality so he could develop it in any direction. He identified several promising Soul Beasts for his first ring but still needed money to obtain a recommendation letter for Moon Gazing City's Soul Hunting Forest.

• Su Yu concluded that Blue Silver Grass should focus on vitality rather than trying to compensate for its weaknesses with poison or toughness.
• Su Yu planned to choose spirit rings primarily for vitality, trusting his Heaven-Defying Comprehension to help him create Self-Created Soul Skills.
• Su Yu studied a Soul Beast handbook and considered the Amethyst Fruit Tree as a vitality-focused option, though its frail trunk made it less ideal.
• Su Yu identified the rare Star Spirit Vine and the durable, vital Dragon Scale Vine as other possible spirit-ring sources.
• Su Yu realized that entering Moon Gazing City's Soul Hunting Forest required a recommendation letter and concluded that he needed money.

Su Yu secured a free Hunting Soul Certificate from Qian Tong and entered the Soul Hunting Forest with two Soul Grand Masters to find a suitable First Soul Ring. After rejecting an over-aged Dragon Scale Vine, he found a four-hundred-year Star Spirit Vine and killed it, leaving its Soul Ring ready to absorb.

• Su Yu told Qian Tong he had reached Soul Power Level ten, and Qian Tong gave him a Hunting Soul Certificate and arranged two Soul Grand Masters to help him hunt.
• Su Yu, Zhao Lei, and Zhang Yuan searched the Soul Hunting Forest using Su Yu's map and clues about Star Spirit Vines and Dragon Scale Vines.
• The group found a Dragon Scale Vine with nine hundred years of cultivation and decided it was too old for Su Yu's First Soul Ring.
• After three more days of searching, Zhang Yuan spotted a Star Spirit Vine that had just reached four hundred years of cultivation.
• Zhao Lei and Zhang Yuan defeated the Star Spirit Vine, and Su Yu stabbed its core with a dagger, causing its yellow, star-speckled Soul Ring to appear.

Su Yu absorbed a Star Spirit Vine soul ring and spent two and a half years cultivating and strengthening his physique. He asked Qian Tong to help him find a suitable soul beast for a thousand-year second soul ring, and they concluded they would likely need to search the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Su Yu endured the Star Spirit Vine's soul power, absorbed its source essence, and obtained his first soul ring, reaching level twelve.
• Su Yu stayed in Moon Gazing City, cultivated with Star Power, and trained his physique for two and a half years to prepare for a thousand-year second soul ring.
• Su Yu sold his Third-Level Soul Tool dagger to Qian Tong for one hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins and spent much of his money on books.
• Su Yu told Qian Tong he wanted to absorb a thousand-year second soul ring and said he needed a vigorous soul beast that could grant a vitality-enhancing soul skill.
• Qian Tong agreed to help Su Yu and said they would likely need to search the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable soul beast.

Su Yu considered Qian Tong’s advice to study Soul Tools in the Sun Moon Empire instead of attending Shrek Academy, then bought an eleven-hundred-year-old Purple Moon Orchid for his second soul ring. He planned to absorb it in three days and returned home to develop a new Self-Created Soul Skill.

• Su Yu learned that Ten Thousand Household Building could sell him a suitable soul beast for fifty to one hundred Gold Soul Coins.
• Qian Tong advised Su Yu to consider the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and warned that Shrek Academy was falling behind because it neglected Soul Tools.
• Su Yu agreed to buy an eleven-hundred-year-old Purple Moon Orchid for seventy Gold Soul Coins and arranged to absorb its soul ring in three days.
• Su Yu returned home and continued developing Self-Created Soul Skills, deciding to work on Blue Silver Domain.

Su Yu absorbed a thousand-year Purple Moon Orchid Soul Ring and used Star Power to refine it efficiently, reaching Level 24. He planned to keep cultivating until Level 30 before heading to the Sun Moon Empire, while Qian Tong privately welcomed the decision.

• Su Yu received the Purple Moon Orchid from Qian Tong, killed it, and began absorbing its thousand-year Soul Ring.
• Su Yu combined his soul power with partially refined Star Power to withstand the Soul Ring’s impact and refine its energy.
• Su Yu prolonged the absorption for three days and three nights to refine more Star Power before absorbing the Soul Ring’s origin.
• Su Yu completed the absorption and tested at Level 24, having advanced four levels.
• Su Yu told Qian Tong that he would cultivate until Level 30 and then go to the Sun Moon Empire, a plan that suited Qian Tong’s private interests.

After reaching Level 30, Su Yu traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring and met Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei over grilled fish. Huo Yuhao declined their sect offers and set off alone, so Tang Ya and Bei Bei followed to protect him while Su Yu joined them on his own soul-ring journey.

• At twelve years old, Su Yu broke through to Level 30 after years of cultivating Blue Silver Grass and refining his Martial Soul Activation Technique.
• Su Yu left Moon Gazing City for the Star Dou Great Forest and followed the smell of grilled fish to Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei.
• After recognizing Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye as a rare Body Martial Soul, Su Yu advised him to join the Body Sect, while Tang Ya and Bei Bei promoted the Tang Sect.
• Huo Yuhao thanked them but declined their offers and left, intending to obtain a soul ring on his own.
• Tang Ya and Bei Bei decided to follow and protect Huo Yuhao, and Su Yu joined them because he also needed a soul ring.

Su Yu followed Bei Bei and Tang Ya through the Star Dou Great Forest, where Huo Yuhao encountered the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and began merging with it. A mysterious remnant chose Su Yu as well, leaving an Electrolux Gray Pearl in his Sea of Consciousness before Su Yu awoke and realized Old Yi was now with him.

• Su Yu told Bei Bei and Tang Ya that he was level 30 at twelve years old and wanted a five- or six-thousand-year soul beast for his Third Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao killed a Ten Year Wind Baboon and met the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who introduced himself as a million-year soul beast and began merging into Huo Yuhao.
• A powerful remnant voice sensed Su Yu, called him an outsider, and left a Gray Pearl in his Sea of Consciousness.
• A God King sensed that the Child of Destiny's fate had been disturbed, but could not see what had caused it.
• Su Yu recognized the Gray Pearl as Electrolux and resolved to help him restore his Divine Sense.
• Su Yu woke Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who realized they had all been knocked unconscious and hurried to find Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao woke after absorbing the Wind Baboon's soul ring and joined the Tang Sect, accepting Tang Ya as his teacher and Bei Bei as his senior brother. Su Yu declined Bei Bei's renewed invitation, leaving Huo Yuhao to begin his new path with the sect.

• Tang Ya and Bei Bei found Huo Yuhao beside the Wind Baboon's corpse, and Bei Bei concluded that Huo Yuhao had successfully absorbed its soul ring.
• Huo Yuhao woke and recalled that he had gained a million-year soul ring and four Soul Skills, but kept the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm secret.
• Tang Ya scolded Huo Yuhao for risking his life, then invited him to join the Tang Sect and use its admission slot to Shrek Academy.
• Huo Yuhao accepted Tang Ya as his teacher, and Bei Bei welcomed him as his Junior Brother and gave him a soul tool belt.
• Tang Ya gave Huo Yuhao the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and Bei Bei again invited Su Yu to join the Tang Sect, but Su Yu refused.

Su Yu joined Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao in discussing their abilities before hunting soul beasts. He revealed that his Level 30 martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, surprising the others with his rapid growth and unusual soul rings.

• Tang Ya explained that she and Su Yu needed soul rings, and Bei Bei suggested that everyone introduce their abilities to coordinate during the hunt.
• Huo Yuhao demonstrated Mental Detection Sharing, and Bei Bei introduced his Level 38 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.
• Tang Ya introduced her Level 30 Blue Silver Grass and summoned its two yellow soul rings.
• Su Yu revealed that he had reached Level 30 with Blue Silver Grass despite having Innate Soul Power Level 3, then advised Tang Ya to change her cultivation path.
• Su Yu summoned his Blue Silver Grass with one yellow and one purple soul ring, and told Bei Bei that he was a Combat Soul Master.

Su Yu demonstrated his strength as the group searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a soul ring, and Tang Ya became a Soul Elder after absorbing a Mandala Snake’s ring. Guided by Huo Yuhao, they found an Exploding Heaven Chili that seemed well suited to Su Yu, and prepared to face it.

• Su Yu pierced three trees with his Blue Silver Critical Spear, convincing Bei Bei and the others of his combat strength.
• Bei Bei and Su Yu subdued a thousand-year-old Mandala Snake, allowing Tang Ya to absorb its soul ring and become a Soul Elder.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm directed Huo Yuhao toward the forest’s boundary, and Huo Yuhao led the group to a valley.
• Bei Bei identified an Exploding Heaven Chili in the valley, and the group recognized that their detection, binding, and lightning abilities could counter its explosive fruits.

Su Yu and his companions killed the Exploding Heaven Chili, and Su Yu absorbed its five-thousand-eight-hundred-year Spirit Ring. After successfully gaining a soul skill that inherited the plant's explosive traits, they prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Su Yu bound the Exploding Heaven Chili's fruits with Blue Silver Grass while Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei retreated, then Bei Bei's lightning triggered a chain of explosions.
• Su Yu pierced the Exploding Heaven Chili's life core with Blue Silver Critical Spear, killing it and revealing a dark purple Spirit Ring.
• Su Yu used Star Spirit Power to recover, then absorbed the Spirit Ring in three hours despite Huo Yuhao's warning that they should leave the forest quickly.
• Bei Bei marveled that Su Yu showed few signs of absorbing across levels, while Su Yu considered how the Sun Moon Empire's research could help perfect his Soul Ring Sacrifice Method.
• Su Yu told Tang Ya that his new soul skill had inherited the Exploding Heaven Chili's traits, and the group set out to leave.

After gaining the Exploding Mark skill, Su Yu declined Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao’s invitation to join Shrek Academy and traveled to Ming Capital to apply to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. He revealed his Soul Elder cultivation and unusual three soul rings to the skeptical admissions teacher.

• Su Yu assessed how his new Third Soul Skill, Exploding Mark, consumed Life Marks to grant a thirty percent boost and left him weakened afterward.
• Su Yu refused Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao’s offer to attend Shrek Academy, and the four went their separate ways.
• Su Yu crossed the tense border with a Ten Thousand Household Building merchant caravan and used Bei Bei’s sponsorship to reach Ming Capital.
• While waiting to apply to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Su Yu explored soul power circulation routes that might improve his Body Tempering Method.
• An admissions teacher questioned Su Yu’s lack of soul engineer training, so Su Yu released his martial soul and displayed his three soul rings.

Su Yu enrolled in the Martial Soul Department of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy while expressing his desire to transfer to the Soul Tool Department. After Vice Dean Xu Kun tested his Blue Silver Grass and asked what he thought Soul Tools were, Su Yu argued that combining Soul Master cultivation with Soul Tools could help practitioners surpass their limits.

• Su Yu revealed his Soul Elder cultivation and thousand-year second Soul Ring, then registered for the Martial Soul Department while asking about transferring to the Soul Tool Department.
• The registration teacher learned Su Yu was twelve and had Level Thirty-Three Soul Power, marked his form as core, and sent him to Dean Xu.
• Xu Kun tested Su Yu with Level Forty soul power, and Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass helped him withstand the pressure.
• Xu Kun concluded that Su Yu had a Mutated Martial Soul with the Life Attribute, and Su Yu let the assumption stand.
• Su Yu asked Xu Kun whether he could still transfer to the Soul Tool Department despite knowing nothing about Soul Tools.
• Su Yu explained that Soul Tools could augment Soul Masters, compensate for the limits of their Martial Souls, and help them pursue roles their natural abilities did not suit.

Su Yu enrolled at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and began studying Soul Tools so he could transfer into the Soul Tool Department. Dean Xu investigated Su Yu’s Star Luo Empire origins but concealed his records, while Su Yu became fascinated by Core Arrays.

• Xu Kun assigned Teacher Kong Yue to guide Su Yu through enrollment, and Su Yu insisted on applying to the Soul Tool Department despite being a novice.
• Kong Yue explained the transfer assessment and academy facilities, and Su Yu settled into the freshman dormitory and began borrowing Soul Tool textbooks.
• Xu Kun received reports on Su Yu’s daily routine and learned that his identity documents were new and that he had entered Ming Capital with a Ten Thousand Household Building caravan from the Star Luo Empire.
• Xu Kun judged that Su Yu was unlikely to be a spy and destroyed his identity records after reviewing his steady progress in Soul Tool studies.
• Su Yu studied Core Arrays and found the patterns and their connections so fascinating that he became deeply interested in Soul Tools.
