Chapter Summaries

Li Chang'an used Blessed Luck to help Xue Ke awaken the powerful Emerald Swan bloodline as the Rainbow Seven-Colored Lotus transformed her inside a cocoon of light. Ye Lingling finished absorbing her Immortal Herb and discovered that her Soul Power had risen to level forty.

• Li Chang'an realized an Immortal Herb could not overcome the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul’s inheritance flaw, so he focused his Blessed Luck on Xue Ke instead.
• Li Chang'an examined Xue Ke’s bloodline, found traces of the Emerald Swan, and used his stored Blessed Luck to strengthen it while the Rainbow Seven-Colored Lotus purified her other bloodlines.
• Xue Ke became enveloped in seven-colored light and energy from the surrounding area as a cocoon formed around her.
• Ye Lingling completed her absorption of the Immortal Herb, which improved her physique and raised her Soul Power from level thirty-five to level forty.

Ye Lingling learned that the Immortal Herb had greatly improved her prospects, while Xue Ke remained cocooned as her martial soul evolved. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo began condensing a soul core as Dugu Yan watched anxiously.

• Li Chang'an told Ye Lingling that the Immortal Herb had improved her constitution and could help her reach the Titled Douluo rank, then warned her to keep the Immortal Herbs secret.

• Xue Ke dressed using her Storage Soul Guidance Device while Li Chang'an turned away, reflecting on how much she had grown.

After Xue Ke’s Martial Soul evolved into an Emerald Swan, she admired her changed appearance and discovered that her First Soul Skill had become a stronger defensive and healing ability.

Li Chang'an brought Xue Ke to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain her Second Soul Ring and revealed that he was a Soul Emperor. After Xue Ke absorbed a Holy Light Unicorn’s Soul Ring, they prepared to return with Li Chang'an promising to teach her how to conceal her Soul Rings.

• Li Chang'an led Xue Ke to a herd of Holy Light Unicorns and selected a suitable one for her Second Soul Ring.
• Li Chang'an revealed his six Soul Rings and apologized for hiding that he was a Soul Emperor, while Xue Ke accepted his explanation.
• Li Chang'an told Xue Ke he would teach her his method for hiding Soul Rings so she could cultivate without attracting attention.
• Li Chang'an used his Sword Soul to render the herd unconscious, then gave Xue Ke a spear to kill the unicorn he had chosen.
• Xue Ke summoned and absorbed the Holy Light Unicorn’s hundred-year Soul Ring.

• Xiao Wu worried that the Soul Douluo commissioners might detect her identity as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but they did not.

The Three Education Commissioners welcomed the Shrek group to Heaven Dou Royal Academy while privately doubting their teaching ability. Commissioner Zhi Lin tested Tang San and found his strength ordinary, noting that he had been weakened by missing an External Soul Bone and by Yu Xiaogang’s Soul Ring choices.

• Li Chang'an and the seven Shrek students faced each other in a private arena as their teachers watched from the stands.
• Dai Mubai and the other Shrek students began announcing their ranks and revealing their Soul Rings before the fight.

Li Chang'an revealed himself as a rank-fifty-one Soul King with a hundred-thousand-year fourth soul ring, shocking the Shrek team and the spectators. After Tang San ordered his team to keep its original plan, the seven took their battle positions, uncertain they could win.

• Li Chang'an summoned his emerald sword and revealed five soul rings, including a hundred-thousand-year fourth ring.

• Tang San kept the original battle plan and led his teammates into formation, with the fighters in front and the two supports at the rear.

In his fight against the Shrek Seven Devils, he countered their flight and burned away Tang San’s Blue Silver Entanglement, while the others launched a coordinated attack.

The Three Education Commissioners considered removing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing from the academy, while Yu Xiaogang offered a mistaken explanation for Li Chang'an’s many abilities.

• Li Chang'an considered whether a claimed Martial Soul Fusion Skill between Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan could be made real through their origins and compatibility.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing fused into the Hell White Tiger, prompting the Three Education Commissioners to worry about the political consequences of admitting a Star Luo prince to Heaven Dou Academy.

• Tang San and Xiao Wu decided to keep fighting, believing Li Chang'an might have little Soul Power left.

• Li Chang'an considered ways Tang San might die without implicating him, then resolved to stay calm for the moment.
• Tang San launched ten hidden weapons at Li Chang'an, aiming for vital points.
• Li Chang'an formed an Impregnable Fortress shield, which rebounded the weapons and struck Tang San with three Bone Penetrating Needles.
