Chapter Summaries

Wu Ming longed for someone she should not love, while Zhang Lexuan watched her with concern. In Star Luo City, Chen Feng and the Shrek Academy group attended a royal-backed auction, where Dai Yueheng bought a powerful Soul Tool and the appearance of an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone awakened the Ice Empress.

• Wu Ming bathed and gazed at the moon from her rooftop as Zhang Lexuan watched and realized her sister had fallen for someone she should not love.
• Qing Ya led Chen Feng and the others into a private room at the Starlight Auction House and explained the bidding rules.
• Xu Jiujiu opened the auction, and Ning Tian explained that she was the emperor’s sister, revealing the auction house’s royal connection.
• Dai Yueheng bid nearly one million six hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for the Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade, leaving himself in debt and Dai Huabin displeased.
• As the auction displayed an emerald-green Left Arm Bone, the Ice Empress recognized it as belonging to one of her Ice Jade Scorpion clansmen and angrily called the culprit a bastard.

At the Starlight Auction House, the Ice Empress revealed that only Chen Feng could absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, while Xu Jiujiu presented its exceptional qualities to the bidders. The auction was about to begin, and the Shrek Academy team understood that the Soul Bone was especially suited to Chen Feng.

• The Ice Empress angrily complained that humans had hunted her clan, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm argued with her until she beat him up in Chen Feng's Sea of Spirit.
• Chen Feng separated the two spirits, comforted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and promised the Ice Empress that he would protect her clansmen after becoming a god.
• The Ice Empress told Chen Feng that only someone with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul could absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, so he could use that fact to make acquiring it easier.
• Xu Jiujiu explained that the Soul Bone required an ice-attribute Soul Master, had a fixed Soul Skill, and contained enough energy to endanger someone with a weak physique.
• When Xu Jiujiu identified the Soul Bone as an Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone with the Ice Explosion skill, Ma Xiaotao revealed that Chen Feng's second Martial Soul was an Ice Jade Scorpion.
• Xu Jiujiu described the Soul Bone's power and gave the guests ten minutes to inspect it before the auction began.

Chen Feng revealed that the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone could only be absorbed by someone with Ultimate Ice, prompting Princess Jiujiu to consult Emperor Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei considered buying the Soul Bone himself to preserve a possible alliance with Shrek Academy as tensions with the Sun Moon Empire grew.

• Wang Yan planned to buy the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone for Chen Feng, while the Ice Empress urged Chen Feng to secure its Ice Explosion skill.
• Chen Feng told Qing Ya that the Soul Bone had a problem and summoned his Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul to demonstrate his knowledge.
• Chen Feng explained to Wang Yan that only a Soul Master with Ultimate Ice could absorb the Soul Bone, leaving Ling Luochen to realize she could not use it either.
• Qing Ya returned with Xu Jiujiu, and Chen Feng told the princess that the Soul Bone itself was sound but its absorption requirement made it unsuitable for ordinary ice-attribute Soul Masters.
• Xu Jiujiu reported the issue to Emperor Xu Jiawei, who decided the Star Luo Empire could have one of its own people buy the Soul Bone and discussed the value of Shrek Academy's support against the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Jiujiu arranged to make Chen Feng work for the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, while the Shrek group watched the auction house buy it back. The grand finale was revealed as the embryo of a Hundred-Thousand Year Humanoid Soul Beast, which Ice Empress recognized as a familiar four-legged beast from the Extreme North.

• Xu Jiujiu persuaded Xu Jiawei to let her deliver the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone to Chen Feng, and he warned her not to make the favor too difficult to obtain.
• A bidder raised the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone’s price to thirty million Gold Soul Coins, and Wang Yan explained that the auction house would buy it back for later private negotiation with the Star Luo Imperial Family.
• Xu Jiujiu introduced the grand finale and showed the guests a cluster of blue airflow contained in a Level 9 Soul Tool called the Platform of God Conferment.
• Xu Jiujiu revealed that the auction item was the embryo of a Hundred-Thousand Year Humanoid Soul Beast, prompting powerful guests to release their auras before Star Luo’s Titled Douluo deterred them.
• Ice Empress recognized the trapped Soul Beast as a four-legged creature with a trace of ice dragon bloodline, and Chen Feng suspected its changed fate was connected to his actions.

At the Starlight Auction, Xu Jiujiu revealed that the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Embryo might grant its absorber a second Martial Soul, and Xiao Hongchen won it for 150 million Gold Soul Coins. After the auction, Chen Feng went to meet Xu Jiujiu as promised.

• Xu Jiujiu described the embryo’s possible benefits and warned that it should be absorbed at Rank 90; the Ice Empress said forced absorption could eventually cause the soul beast’s consciousness to retaliate.
• Xuan Zi forbade Shrek Academy from bidding on the embryo, while Xu Jiujiu gave Chen Feng a token that he said meant she would give him a Soul Bone.
• Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu arranged to draw the Sun Moon Empire into buying the embryo, expose its purchase to rival factions, and later disrupt Mingde Hall.
• Xiao Hongchen won the embryo for 150 million Gold Soul Coins, and the Starlight Auction House helped reveal the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy’s identity to other factions.
• Shrek Academy defeated the Dou Ling Royal Academy in the round of sixteen to eight, and Chen Feng arrived in Star Luo Imperial City to meet Xu Jiujiu.

Chen Feng visited Xu Jiujiu at the Imperial City, where she tried to entertain and test him before discussing the Soul Bone. After he rebuffed her schemes and threatened to leave, Xu Jiujiu apologized, and he sat back down to continue their talk.

• Chen Feng used Xu Jiujiu's golden token to enter the Imperial City and followed her maid Xing'er to the princess's palace.
• Xu Jiujiu invited Chen Feng to dinner, but he joined her at the table and ate so eagerly that she hurried to compete for the food.
• After dinner, Xu Jiujiu arranged a dance to distract Chen Feng, but he remained unmoved and teased her by asking how she would dance herself.
• Xu Jiujiu angrily rebuked Chen Feng, who stood to leave and reminded her that he was not her servant.
• Xu Jiujiu apologized and brought up the Soul Bone, so Chen Feng sat down again and claimed he had only been joking.

Chen Feng negotiated with Xu Jiujiu for the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, then beat her at chess and took the bone from her Storage Soul Tool after she repeatedly refused to accept her losses. He teased and restrained her, but the encounter ended with Chen Feng accidentally sucking on her ear, leaving them both momentarily silent.

• Xu Jiujiu dismissed the dancers and servants, then tried to use the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone to bargain for Chen Feng's favor.
• Chen Feng offered up to twenty million Gold Soul Coins, but Xu Jiujiu proposed giving him the bone if he defeated her at chess before the competition ended.
• Xu Jiujiu taught Chen Feng the rules, but he learned quickly and beat her; she repeatedly rejected the results and demanded more games.
• After Xu Jiujiu kept making excuses, Chen Feng restrained her, took the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone from her Storage Soul Tool, and mocked her chess ability.
• Xu Jiujiu turned her head toward Chen Feng as he leaned near her, and his lips touched her ear before he instinctively sucked on it.

Chen Feng extracted the Ice Explosion skill and other essences from the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, strengthening his torso bone, Soul Power, and physique. He told Ice Empress about his success, leaving her astonished and warning him against risking Soul Bone fusion again.

• Chen Feng escaped Xu Jiujiu after teasing her, then returned to his room and used the Yin-Yang Furnace to separate the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone's essences.
• Chen Feng fused the Ice Explosion skill into the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Torso Bone, adding a third Soul Skill to it.
• Chen Feng absorbed the Soul Power Essence and Physique Essence, rising from Rank 52 to Rank 53 and increasing the Spirit Ring age his body could withstand to around seventy thousand years.
• Chen Feng considered giving the Ice Attribute Essence to Little Weakling to improve her Martial Soul.
• The next morning, Ice Empress praised the left arm bone and urged Chen Feng to absorb it, so Chen Feng revealed that he had already fused Ice Explosion into her torso bone.
• Ice Empress mistook Chen Feng's explanation for risky Soul Bone Synthesis, then was stunned by the successful result and warned him not to try it again.

Chen Feng reassured Ma Xiaotao about his meeting with Xu Jiujiu, then went to cultivate with Ling Luochen using Ice Attribute energy from an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. The energy caused Ling Luochen's Martial Soul to ascend.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress warned Chen Feng that his plans were risky, but he went to the living room and took Snow Empress out to eat.
• Ma Xiaotao pulled Chen Feng into her room and questioned him about Xu Jiujiu; Chen Feng persuaded her that the princess had no personal involvement with him.
• Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao made up, then ate together before Ma Xiaotao returned to rest.
• Chen Feng went to Ling Luochen's room and used Ice Attribute energy from the seventy-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone to help her cultivate.
• Ling Luochen's Martial Soul absorbed the energy and ascended.

Chen Feng’s Ice Attribute Essence caused Luochen’s Martial Soul to evolve into Ice Spirit and helped her break through to Soul Emperor. The next morning, Shrek Academy prepared to face Dou Ling Royal Academy in the individual matches, while Ma Xiaotao and Luochen clashed over Luochen’s sudden advancement.
