Chapter Summaries

Luo Hao discovered Hu Liena had drugged his tea and plunged into a fishpond to cool himself down. Meanwhile, Tang Hao brought Tang San to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to choose Immortal Herbs, and asked about the others who had enrolled with him.

• Luo Hao drank tea laced with an unknown drug and realized Hu Liena had secretly put it there.
• Luo Hao found that his healing could not remove the drug’s effects, so he kicked open his door and jumped into the fishpond to calm down.
• Hu Liena happily absorbed the spirit bone Luo Hao had given her, while Bibi Dong wondered whether her plan had worked.
• Tang Hao brought Tang San to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and introduced him to its Immortal Herbs.
• Tang San asked Tang Hao to bring his companions to the well, and Tang Hao asked about the others who had enrolled with him.

Tang San learned that Luo Hao had gone missing and received Tang Hao’s map to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but found the Immortal Herbs missing. Hu Liena finished absorbing her soul bone and rushed to Luo Hao’s courtyard, where he emerged from the pond after enduring the medicine’s effects.

• Tang San told Tang Hao that Shrek’s former members had left and that Luo Hao seemed to have gone missing.

• Tang San set the map aside and found that the Immortal Herbs beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were gone.
• Hu Liena finished absorbing her left-leg soul bone and realized she needed to find Luo Hao.
• Hu Liena hurried to Luo Hao’s courtyard as Luo Hao emerged naked from the pond, regretting that he had drunk the potent tea.

After Hu Liena accidentally exhausted Luo Hao with a potent medicinal tea, he recovered and set out with Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo to find a powerful Soul Beast in the Extreme North. The group pushed deeper into the deadly cold, but Luo Hao appeared to lose his way.

• Hu Liena rushed into Luo Hao’s courtyard, cared for him, and admitted she had used the entire packet of medicinal powder Bibi Dong gave her.

• Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo warned Luo Hao that the cold was draining their Soul Power and that they might need to retreat.
• After half an hour, Yue Guan pointed out that they seemed to have visited the same place before, while Luo Hao insisted he had followed the map correctly.

Luo Hao, Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo got lost in the ice plains and followed a worsening cold toward a massive Ice Mountain. They suspected a powerful Soul Beast was inside, but worried they lacked enough Soul Power for a major fight and the journey back.

• Luo Hao realized Ghost Douluo's lingering aura had been mistaken for a route marker, then admitted he had no idea how to use the map to find their way out.
• Luo Hao's compass spun uselessly, so he proposed choosing a direction and turning back if the temperature dropped; Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo agreed.
• The trio encountered Soul Beasts but passed them by, as Luo Hao disliked the available Soul Skills and preferred developing domain-type abilities.
• As the temperature kept falling, Luo Hao led the group in the opposite direction, but after an hour the cold had grown worse.
• Ghost Douluo spotted a massive Ice Mountain, and the group noticed fewer Soul Beasts nearby, suggesting a powerful creature was close.
• Ghost Douluo warned that their Soul Power was already depleted by more than forty percent and that a major battle could leave them stranded.

• Ghost Douluo surged his Titled Douluo Soul Power into the cave, and the Soul Beast answered with a furious roar.

Luo Hao and Yue Guan confronted the enormous Extreme Cold Ice Armor Beast, whose freezing attacks overwhelmed the surrounding area. Luo Hao remained unharmed in his Nanotech Armored Suit and used his Supergravity domain to clear the ice crystals, exposing the beast’s tail and discovering it could not move.

• The Extreme Cold Ice Armor Beast emerged from the Ice Mountain and blasted Ghost Douluo with a beam, but Ghost Douluo reformed from black mist.
• The beast unleashed a powerful freezing shockwave, and Yue Guan shielded Luo Hao while warning that his Soul Power could last only half an hour.
• Luo Hao stepped beyond Yue Guan’s shield and showed no discomfort from the cold, thanks to his Nanotech Armored Suit.
• Luo Hao activated his Supergravity domain and cleared the ice crystals within a hundred meters, revealing the beast’s tail and realizing it could not move.

Luo Hao exploited the Extreme Cold Ice Armor Beast’s inability to move during its freezing skill and used his Barrett to break through its armor and wound it. The beast withdrew its domain and counterattacked, but Yue Guan pulled Luo Hao clear of its freezing beam.

• Luo Hao realized the Extreme Cold Ice Armor Beast could not move while using its innate skill and shot at it through the freezing current.

• Luo Hao used Absolute Zero on Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, whose Soul Power shields could not protect them and whose movements and consciousness began to slow.
• Luo Hao stopped the Soul Skill after Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo shouted for him to stop.

Luo Hao used his new soul skill against Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo, then led them to shelter in an ice cave for the night. While resting, he revealed that his Barrett was his third martial soul and boasted that he would one day rule the continent and become a god.

• Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo praised Luo Hao’s soul skill, and Yue Guan noticed that it consumed a great deal of Soul Power.

• Luo Hao picked up the crystal ball containing the struggling Ice Empress and stored it away.
• Yue Guan and Ghost rushed to Luo Hao and exclaimed in surprise that he was still alive.

After escaping the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Luo Hao learned that his nanotech armor had made his bones nearly indestructible, though his flesh still could not withstand his full strength. He discovered that the Ice Empress was trying to self-destruct inside the Poké Ball and hurried to stop her.

• Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo found Luo Hao, and he claimed he had hidden from a passing Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion before they rushed him away.
• Luo Hao learned that his armor was fusing with his bones and that his defense had reached Level 100, but the system warned his flesh could still collapse under his power.
• Luo Hao spent 200,000 skill points to raise the Nine Star Hegemony Body Art to LV14 and resolved to rely on his strength and soul skills instead of cultivation or combat practice.
• A mental shock alerted Luo Hao that the Ice Empress was in danger, so he left the ice cave and took out the Poké Ball.
• Luo Hao saw the Ice Empress barely alive and confronted her as she declared that she would rather die than be captured.

Luo Hao released a powerless Soul Power incarnation of Ice Empress from the Poké Ball and explained that he had captured her to save her from her impending limit.

• Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun defended Tang San after Xiao Wu lost, while Dai Mubai blamed Luo Hao for taking his fiancée.
• Flender and Yu Xiaogang believed Liu Erlong had been coerced by Luo Hao and had repeatedly brought students to Blue Tyrant Academy in hopes of rescuing her.

• Luo Hao appeared behind Liu Erlong’s group, embraced Xiao Wu and the others, and greeted Liu Erlong after his long absence.
