Chapter Summaries

Xiao Qiang urged Tian Meng to create Wisdom Spirit Rings, hoping they could strengthen him and Bai Qingshan while helping delay war and reduce Soul Beast hunting. Tian Meng said he could not extract souls, so Xiao Qiang proposed trying Exploding Ring instead.

• Xiao Qiang explained how a Soul Spirit system could help Bai Qingshan absorb powerful rings, cleanse his body of pill toxins, and potentially reach Titled Douluo or higher.
• Xiao Qiang said gaining status through the system could help him delay war until he was strong enough to prevent it, while also allowing him to oversee Soul Beast use sustainably.
• Tian Meng refused to create Wisdom Spirit Rings because he could not extract a Soul Beast's soul or work out the first step.
• Xiao Qiang accepted postponing the idea and proposed that he and Tian Meng try Exploding Ring first.

Xiao Qiang prepared to travel to the Extreme North, having Sky Dream Ice Silkworm help him use Exploding Ring to strengthen his defenses and receiving two Sun Moon Divine Pills from Jing Hongchen. He gave the pills to Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan, then left for the Extreme North.

• Xiao Qiang persuaded Tian Meng to help him use Exploding Ring, arguing that he needed a powerful safeguard for the journey to the Extreme North.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm guided Xiao Qiang's Exploding Ring, and his Soul Power reached level thirty-eight before the semester ended.
• Jing Hongchen gave Xiao Qiang two Sun Moon Divine Pills to raise his Innate Soul Power, but Xiao Qiang chose not to take them.
• Xiao Qiang gave the pills to Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan, who initially refused before swallowing them at his insistence.
• After Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan absorbed the pills, Xiao Qiang gave them instructions and set off for the Extreme North.

Wang Yan failed to persuade Xuan Zi to give Huo Yuhao resources for a second awakening, while Mu En understood that Shrek intended to keep Huo Yuhao from becoming a future rival. Xuan Zi then addressed the tournament team and ordered them to kill members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy on sight.

• Wang Yan pleaded with Xuan Zi to support Huo Yuhao’s training, but Xuan Zi refused and threatened to expel Wang Yan if he raised the matter again.
• Wang Yan concluded that Xuan Zi’s decision would at least allow Huo Yuhao to remain at Shrek Academy longer and resolved to continue researching Body Spirit awakenings.
• Mu En recognized that Shrek planned to keep Huo Yuhao at the academy without supporting his awakening, to prevent him from becoming a powerful member of the Body Sect.
• Xuan Zi asked Yan Shaozhe about Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire and learned that Dai Yueheng might lead the tournament team if it could not be suppressed.
• Xuan Zi told the tournament team to kill Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy members on sight and promised to protect them.

Shrek Academy placed its confidence in Elder Xuan to lead its team in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, while Xiao Qiang reached the Extreme North and helped Tian Meng trap the Ice Empress. The Ice Empress questioned the God Creation Plan’s chances, and Xiao Qiang prepared to respond.

• Elder Xuan assured Shrek’s students that they could defeat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and told Yan Shaozhe to find a way to help Xiaotao recover before the tournament.
• Xiao Qiang traveled to the edge of the Extreme North by Soul Motorcycle and prepared a snow-going vehicle and shelter rather than crossing the snowfields on foot.
• Tian Meng lured the Ice Empress into a Spiritual Prison, and Xiao Qiang quickly fled with Tian Meng after she had been trapped for half a day.
• Tian Meng told the Ice Empress that only his spiritual origin remained and explained how Xiao Qiang had become his master.
• The Ice Empress met Xiao Qiang and doubted that his spiritual power and talent would be enough to make the God Creation Plan succeed, prompting Xiao Qiang to ask to speak.

Xiao Qiang convinced Ice Empress to join Tian Meng's God Creation Plan by explaining how his Sharingan revealed opportunities and how the plan could extend her life. After rejecting her plan to become his torso bone, he proposed that she create soul bones for both his hands, then prepared to begin their fusion.

• Xiao Qiang explained that his Sharingan had guided him to Tian Meng and Ice Empress, and claimed Ice Empress had only about a hundred years left to live.
• Xiao Qiang promised Ice Empress that the God Creation Plan offered a chance at eternal life and at least several hundred years of life if it failed, and she agreed to join.
• Ice Empress proposed becoming Xiao Qiang's torso bone, but Xiao Qiang insisted that his hands were a better choice.
• Ice Empress agreed to create soul bones for both of Xiao Qiang's hands but warned that the pain could destroy his consciousness.
• Xiao Qiang said he could use Mental Interference to block the pain, then asked Tian Meng to check the surroundings and told Ice Empress to eat something before the fusion.

Xiao Qiang fused with Ice Empress, then used his new ice abilities and a Sharingan-enhanced illusion to hunt a Mirror Beast and gain a soul ring and Head Spirit Bone. After measuring his Soul Power at level forty-eight, he told the exhausted Ice Empress that they still needed to discuss Snow Empress.

• Xiao Qiang gave Ice Empress multiple Spirit Skill Pills, and they agreed on ten skills for his soul ring and soul bone.
• Xiao Qiang and Ice Empress fused, and he tested his new ice abilities by forming swords, a bow, and arrows.
• Guided by Ice Empress, Xiao Qiang found a twenty-thousand-year Mirror Beast and trapped it in an illusion before killing it and absorbing its soul ring.
• Xiao Qiang dissected the Mirror Beast and found a Head Spirit Bone, then measured his Soul Power at level forty-eight.
• When Ice Empress tried to rest, Xiao Qiang asked whether she wanted anything to happen to Snow Empress.

Xiao Qiang realized that Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow could help him reach Titled Douluo and suspected the Snow Empress was connected to it. Though the Ice Empress warned that the Snow Empress would never become a human's Guardian, Xiao Qiang decided to seek her out anyway.

• Xiao Qiang told the Ice Empress that his Sharingan had revealed a treasure that could help him reach Titled Douluo, and she identified it as Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• The Ice Empress lamented that Tian Meng had eaten the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow she once found, then stomped on his face.
• Xiao Qiang asked whether the Snow Empress might protect him if he helped her survive her 700,000 Year Heavenly Tribulation, but the Ice Empress said the Snow Empress would never become a human's Guardian.
• Xiao Qiang considered the Snow Empress's fierce early nature and feared the danger of approaching her, while Tian Meng advised him to stay away.
• Xiao Qiang rejected Tian Meng's advice and decided he had to seek out the Snow Empress rather than risk encountering Mu En without protection.

Xiao Qiang and Ice Empress arranged a meeting with Snow Empress, hoping to negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement that would help protect Xiao Qiang as he pursued godhood. Snow Empress arrived and exerted her pressure, and Xiao Qiang immediately surrendered and asked her to withdraw it.

• Xiao Qiang explained to Tian Meng and Ice Empress that he needed Snow Empress’s protection and proposed contacting her through the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.
• Xiao Qiang and Ice Empress reached the clan’s gathering place, where he used his soul skills to separate a Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Scorpion from the group.
• Ice Empress took control of Xiao Qiang’s body, revealed herself to the scorpion, and ordered it to summon an elder.
• Seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Scorpions met with Ice Empress, who explained her situation and sent one to find Snow Empress.
• Snow Empress arrived and overwhelmed Xiao Qiang with her pressure, so he surrendered and asked her to stop.

Xiao Qiang negotiated with Snow Empress, offering to use his martial soul’s perception to help her overcome her upcoming 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation in exchange for twenty years of protection. Snow Empress agreed, leaving Xiao Qiang safer and with a possible ally for his plans to create gods.

• Snow Empress suppressed Xiao Qiang and demanded to see Ice Empress, whom Xiao Qiang revealed through Mental Share.
• Snow Empress demanded the opportunity that could help her survive the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, while Xiao Qiang explained that he had to sense it himself.
• Xiao Qiang offered to help Snow Empress find the opportunity in exchange for recognition as a citizen of the Extreme North, twenty years of protection, and consideration of his requests.
• Snow Empress accepted Xiao Qiang’s terms, and he began considering recruiting her and other powerful soul beasts into his God Creation Plan.

Xiao Qiang and Snow Empress entered Earth Dragon Gate’s cold spring and opened the hidden Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave. Snow Empress went inside with Xiao Qiang to claim its treasures, while Tian Meng and Ice Empress marveled at the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and Xiao Qiang’s discovery.

• Xiao Qiang and Snow Empress reached Earth Dragon Gate and used mental skills to learn the cold spring’s location without being detected.
• Xiao Qiang prepared air-filled ice spheres, then dove with Snow Empress and collected water from the spring eye.
• Xiao Qiang found the hidden mechanism, and Snow Empress opened the stone door to the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave.
• Snow Empress gave Xiao Qiang cold-resistant clothing and led him into the cave, where they saw many Ice Extreme Divine Crystals.
• Ice Empress praised Tian Meng for choosing Xiao Qiang, and Tian Meng declared that Xiao Qiang’s fortune made him an excellent choice.

Xiao Qiang led the Snow Empress to the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave to gather marrow for her second Soul Core. As her Heavenly Tribulation gathered, he revealed a Faraday Cage and claimed it could shield her from the lightning.

• Xiao Qiang reflected on Tian Meng's betrayal of Huo Yuhao and decided to build Tian Meng's confidence in him by showing him information about Douluo Continent.
• Xiao Qiang followed the Snow Empress into the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave, where they found more than a dozen pillars of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• The Snow Empress and Xiao Qiang carried the marrow to a desolate area so her breakthrough would not destroy the cave or kill Xiao Qiang.
• The Snow Empress absorbed seven pillars and fully condensed her second Soul Core as Heavenly Tribulation lightning gathered.
• Xiao Qiang showed the Snow Empress a metal sphere and identified it as a Faraday Cage that could shield her from the lightning.

Xiao Qiang used a Faraday cage to protect Snow Empress from her heavenly tribulation, and she rewarded him with a Snow Pill that granted him the ability to wield Extreme Ice. After learning that Snow Empress was a Quasi-god who could protect him from most enemies, he spotted an Evil Soul Master slaughtering a village and decided to confront him.

• Xiao Qiang urged Snow Empress to enter a Faraday cage, which shielded her from the tribulation lightning.
• Snow Empress gave Xiao Qiang a Snow Pill in return for sparing her injury, and he swallowed it.
• Snow Empress explained the strength of soul beasts at different cultivation levels and said she could protect Xiao Qiang from enemies below the Demigod Realm.
• Xiao Qiang spotted an Evil Soul Master slaughtering a village and, confident in Snow Empress's protection, prepared to face him.

Xiao Qiang tracked an Evil Soul Master who had slaughtered a village and confronted him while testing his newly acquired martial soul. Jin Chuan first mistook Xiao Qiang for a powerful Soul Sage and begged for mercy, but attacked verbally after learning Xiao Qiang was only a four-ring Soul Ancestor.

• Xiao Qiang rode to the village after Mental Probe detected an Evil Soul Master, disguising his face to avoid being identified.
• Xiao Qiang found the villagers drained of blood and saw Jin Chuan bathing in a blood pool to prepare for a breakthrough.
• Xiao Qiang shot at Jin Chuan, whose Blood Wall blocked the arrow, and used Mirror Copy to identify his Blood Demon martial soul and four soul skills.
• Jin Chuan mistook Xiao Qiang's disguise for a Soul Sage and kowtowed, begging him to spare his life.
• Xiao Qiang revealed his rank and manifested four soul rings, prompting Jin Chuan to stand up and threaten him.

Jin Chuan, a cautious level-fifty-nine Evil Soul Master, attacked Xiao Qiang after believing he had a decisive advantage, but Xiao Qiang turned the fight against him with his bow and spirit skills. Just as Xiao Qiang prepared a potentially fatal shot, Jin Chuan's master intervened and condemned him for becoming an Evil Soul Master, leaving Jin Chuan confused.

• Jin Chuan learned that Xiao Qiang was only level forty-eight and, convinced his odds of victory were at least ninety-eight percent, threatened him.
• Jin Chuan unleashed Blood Sea Fury Tide, but Xiao Qiang froze the blood and used arrows enhanced by his spirit skills to attack.
• Jin Chuan raised a Blood Wall and used Blood Burst to survive Xiao Qiang's arrow barrage, but another arrow pierced his left shoulder.
• Xiao Qiang used Simulation to restore his four soul rings and revealed that he could reuse Expulsion Arrow before firing another purple-ring-enhanced arrow at Jin Chuan.
• An old man appeared, caught Xiao Qiang's arrow, slapped Jin Chuan away, and condemned him for becoming an Evil Soul Master.

Xiao Qiang agreed to let Jin Chuan’s teacher deal with his disciple, while the old man mistook Xiao Qiang for a reckless young heir protected by a weak Soul Douluo. Believing he had an overwhelming advantage, the old man revealed his martial soul and attacked Xiao Qiang’s words.

• Jin Chuan’s teacher slapped him, then asked Xiao Qiang to let the matter end and allow him to discipline his disciple himself.
• Xiao Qiang accepted the old man’s request, wary of making an eight-ring Soul Douluo an enemy and grateful that Snow Empress protected him.
• The old man misread Xiao Qiang’s restraint as fear and concluded that he was a young genius backed by a weak Soul Douluo bodyguard.
• The old man released his martial soul and asked Xiao Qiang if he recognized it as a Myriad Soul Banner.
• When Xiao Qiang named it a Myriad Soul Banner, the old man insisted it was his Human Emperor Banner and threatened him.

Xiao Qiang questioned the old man’s claim that his black-smoke-spewing Myriad Soul Banner was a Human Emperor Banner while the man and Jin Chuan reasoned about Xiao Qiang’s hidden Guardian. The old man concluded that Xiao Qiang’s Guardian was a weakly configured Soul Douluo, unaware that the Snow Empress was resting in Xiao Qiang’s Storage Soul Tool.

• Xiao Qiang challenged the old man’s claim that the Myriad Soul Banner emitted Primordial Purple Qi instead of black smoke.
• Jin Chuan realized his teacher had beaten him to stop him from recklessly attacking a powerful opponent, then complained when the teacher said he still planned to kill Xiao Qiang.
• The old man argued that Xiao Qiang’s Guardian had to be at least a Soul Douluo because Xiao Qiang had backed down rather than risk harm during the fight.
• Jin Chuan deduced that Xiao Qiang’s Guardian had a poor soul ring configuration and was probably only Rank 81 or 82.
• Xiao Qiang wondered how the two men had reached such a confident conclusion when the Snow Empress was secretly resting in his Storage Soul Tool.

Xiao Qiang captured an eight-ring Soul Douluo alive so he could study soul extraction and develop Wisdom Spirit Rings. He explained that he also hoped to find a way for Tian Meng and Ice Empress to survive if his God Creation Plan failed, and the chapter ended with him asking Tian Meng to research reverse sacrifice.

• Xiao Qiang ordered Snow Empress to capture the elder with the Myriad Soul Banner alive so he could study the man's soul-extraction abilities.
• Xiao Qiang explained that he planned to use the elder's martial soul and Mental Control to experiment with creating Wisdom Spirit Rings.
• Snow Empress recognized that Wisdom Spirit Rings might reduce the slaughter of soul beasts, while Xiao Qiang said he also wanted to preserve Tian Meng and Ice Empress if his God Creation Plan failed.
• Xiao Qiang proposed that humans might use sacrifice in reverse to preserve spirit rings for future generations, and Snow Empress said the idea was worth testing.
• Tian Meng promised to help Xiao Qiang become a god, but Xiao Qiang told him to research reverse sacrifice because he did not know how to perform a sacrifice.

Xiao Qiang defended Tian Meng’s abilities to Ice Empress, convincing him to take on creating a Wisdom Spirit Ring system within half a year. After Xiao Qiang returned from his sea of consciousness, the captured Myriad Soul Banner Soul Douluo begged for his life and offered his Soul Tool.

• Xiao Qiang listed Tian Meng’s achievements to challenge Ice Empress’s belief that he was useless.
• Tian Meng gained confidence and promised Snow Empress he could create a Wisdom Spirit Ring system in half a year if given enough resources.
• Xiao Qiang and the three spirit beasts agreed on the Wisdom Spirit Ring plan, and Xiao Qiang returned to the outside world.
• Snow Empress opened the snowball imprisoning the Myriad Soul Banner Soul Douluo, who knelt and offered Xiao Qiang his Soul Tool in exchange for his life.
• Xiao Qiang had the Soldier Puppet take the Soul Tool and told the Soul Douluo that it would be his whether he captured or killed him.

Xiao Qiang captured a Soul Douluo and killed Jin Chuan while using the Myriad Soul Banner to extract souls for his Wisdom Spirit Ring experiments. After finding and freeing a woman from the Soul Douluo’s storage tool, he shot her when she accused him of staging her rescue, then returned early to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

• Snow Empress froze the Soul Douluo and stored him in a Soul Tool after Xiao Qiang captured him.
• Xiao Qiang extracted Jin Chuan’s soul with the copied Myriad Soul Banner, while Tian Meng warned that using it could make him seem like an Evil Soul Master.
• Xiao Qiang searched the two Soul Tools and found little in Jin Chuan’s, but discovered pills, a Rank 7 Soul Tool, and a woman in the Soul Douluo’s.
• Xiao Qiang freed the woman, but she accused him of pretending to rescue her and threatened him with her grandfather, City Lord Lu of Qingmu City.
• Xiao Qiang shot the woman, disposed of her corpse, and returned early to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy after half a month of vacation.

Xiao Qiang returned to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy after obtaining his fourth spirit ring and was challenged by Xiao Hongchen, who hoped to fight him before growing stronger. When Jing Hongchen asked where he had been, Xiao Qiang revealed his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul, leaving the Mingde Hall Master stunned.

• Xiao Qiang rode through the academy and met Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who had been searching for him.
• Xiao Qiang told Xiao Hongchen he had reached Rank 41, and Xiao Hongchen challenged him to a match before he reached Rank 50.
• Xiao Hongchen offered to ask Jing Hongchen to arrange a spirit ring of around thirty thousand years for Xiao Qiang if Xiao Qiang fought him and won.
• Xiao Qiang declined the offer and tried to avoid the fight, while privately recalling the blood pellet and Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow he possessed.
• Xiao Qiang told Ice Empress and Tian Meng that he had new ideas for researching Wisdom Spirit Rings and might finish within half a year.
• Jing Hongchen brought Xiao Qiang to his office and was astonished when Xiao Qiang revealed his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul.
