Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tianyang offered Long Xiaoyao two ways to help Ye Xishui begin a new life: erase her memories or let her undergo a dangerous rebirth while keeping them. Ye Xishui chose the second option, and Long Xiaoyao asked Xiao Tianyang to take him with her if the process ended badly.

• Xiao Tianyang explained the risks of erasing Ye Xishui's memories and described a painful rebirth that could either help her overcome her past or make her more extreme.
• Duanmu Rong treated Long Xiaoyao after his agitation aggravated his injuries, and Xiao Tianyang clarified that the rebirth would torment Ye Xishui's body and soul.
• Long Xiaoyao struggled to choose for Ye Xishui until she arrived and declared that she wanted the second option.
• Ye Xishui calmly accepted Xiao Tianyang's warning that he would kill her if she became more extreme, and Long Xiaoyao said he respected her choice.
• Long Xiaoyao asked Xiao Tianyang to take him with Ye Xishui if the rebirth went wrong.

After Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui left to recover before seeking the Merman Clan’s altar, Xiao Tianyang reflected on the threat posed by the Void and its coordinated fighters. He then offered to help the women retrain their body cultivation, and they followed him to the rear hall.

• Xiao Tianyang explained that Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui had left with directions to the Merman Clan’s altar and advice to heal before using it.
• Xiao Tianyang considered how the Void’s teamwork had made its fighters difficult to defeat, and resolved to grow stronger before facing them again.
• Xiao Tianyang told the women that Ye Xishui had been frightened despite her decision, then set the subject aside.
• Yan Lingji asked Xiao Tianyang to provide top-quality advancement materials for the women’s body cultivation, and he agreed.
• Xiao Tianyang joked about tearing off his bandages to fight, but Duanmu Rong’s glare made him reassure her that he would rest before leading the women to the rear hall.

Xiao Tianyang assessed the women’s body-cultivation talent and offered them his Nine Seals, but each preferred to nurture a Natal Divine Ability suited to herself. He then considered passing the Nine Seals to his student at Shrek Academy.

• Xiao Tianyang judged Duanmu Rong to have the strongest body-cultivation foundation among the women, with four Natal Divine Abilities already mastered.
• After Duanmu Rong awakened first, Xiao Tianyang offered to teach her the Nine Seals, but she declined because her current Natal Divine Ability felt more suited to her.
• The other women also refused the Nine Seals, and Xiao Tianyang lamented that his Natal Divine Ability had become a hot potato.
• Yan Lingji reminded Xiao Tianyang that he had a student at Shrek Academy, and he considered reserving a place for the student to cultivate the Nine Seals.

The Silver Dragon King emerged from her long recovery in the Star Dou Great Forest and learned how much Xiao Tianyang and his followers had changed the world. She remained hidden, fearing Xiao Tianyang’s power and realizing that rival Soul Beast rulers threatened her claim as Soul Beast Co-Lord.

• The Silver Dragon King emerged from beneath the ancient tree, and Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the other overlords welcomed her return.
• The Silver Dragon King asked about the outside world, and Bi Ji recounted Xiao Tianyang’s achievements, including the battle in the Demon Forest.
• The Silver Dragon King concluded that Xiao Tianyang’s power far exceeded the Dragon God’s and feared that the God Realm could no longer offer the Dragon God a place.
• The Silver Dragon King recognized that Xiao Longyu, Xiao Ba, and other powerful leaders had made her position as Soul Beast Co-Lord uncertain.

The Silver Dragon King agreed to Xiao Tianyang’s Scavenger Plan and decided to meet him at Shrek Academy to learn what he wanted from the Star Dou Great Forest. Before she could leave with Di Tian and Bi Ji, Wang Qiu’er appeared after re-cultivating into human form and insisted on joining them to thank Xiao Tianyang.

• The Silver Dragon King agreed to Xiao Tianyang’s Scavenger Plan and asked Bi Ji whether he had left any message.
• Bi Ji worried that the Star Dou Great Forest had too little bargaining power, and Di Tian admitted he could not defeat Xiao Longyu, the Lion King, or Red Hare.
• The Silver Dragon King decided to meet Xiao Tianyang at Shrek Academy, and Di Tian said he had likely left the Demon Forest for there.
• Wang Qiu’er appeared in human form and said she wanted to go with them to thank the person who had saved her.
• Bi Ji warned Wang Qiu’er about the consequences of re-cultivating, but Wang Qiu’er insisted her name was Wang Qiu’er and said Xiao Tianyang would prefer her current appearance.

Xiao Tianyang considered how his plans had weakened the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts, while weighing his position against the Silver Dragon King. On the way to Shrek Academy, he asked Yan Lingji to arrange a guide and bring Tang Ya to him.

• Xiao Tianyang reasoned that the Silver Dragon King lacked the influence of the leaders in the Extreme North and Savage Forest, leaving him with the advantage in any negotiation.
• Xiao Tianyang reviewed his plan to create Soul Beast territories, establish outer hunting grounds, and provide Soul Rings through exchanges and missions.

• Zhang Lexuan and Tang Ya waited at the Great North Gate for the important figure who had asked to meet Tang Ya.
• Tang Ya questioned why Xiao Tianyang wanted to see an ordinary Outer Court student, and Zhang Lexuan reassured her that she had untapped potential.
• Zhang Lexuan told Tang Ya that Xiao Tianyang might give her a new life and that he had already created many miracles.
• Zhang Lexuan noticed a streak of golden light in the sky, then Xiao Tianyang appeared behind her holding Prayer Beads.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Zhang Lexuan to show him around Shrek Academy, and she described its shops, services, and student areas.
• Xiao Tianyang said he wanted to visit his student, while Yan Lingji corrected his description of leaving the student in the academy’s care.
• Xiao Tianyang stopped the group after hearing Huo Yuhao accuse Wang Dong of using someone’s name to swindle others.

Xiao Tianyang recognized Wang Dong as Tang Wutong and learned how she had reached Douluo Continent. He invited her to return to Divine Might, but she chose to remain at Shrek Academy and follow her own path.

• Xiao Tianyang intervened before Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong could fight, then recognized Wang Dong as Tang Wutong.
• Tang Wutong asked how Xiao Tianyang had recognized her, and he explained that he had grown up with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that Tang Wutong had reached Douluo Continent with help from Bubu and that Tang San had raised her on stories about him.
• Tang Wutong revealed that Aunt Mingzhu's magatama had helped her identify Xiao Tianyang.
• Xiao Tianyang invited Tang Wutong to return to Divine Might, but she refused and said she wanted to stay at Shrek Academy to walk her own path.

Xiao Tianyang welcomed Tang Wutong and asked her to explain the God Realm’s situation before she left, then planned to assess her and Huo Yuhao’s abilities. After Elder Xuan departed to summon Shrek Academy’s dean, Xiao Tianyang asked for a secluded, spacious place nearby.

• Xiao Tianyang praised Tang Wutong for seeking her own path and asked her to describe the God Realm before she left.
• Xiao Tianyang introduced Huo Yuhao to Tang Wutong, who refused to admit her earlier mistake, while Huo Yuhao promised to get along with Wang Dong.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Elder Xuan to summon the dean later and chose to assess Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao first.
• Xiao Tianyang asked whether there was a secluded, spacious place nearby.

Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong fought in Shrek Academy’s Arena Zero, where Tang Wutong used her experience to corner him and force him to rely on his mental abilities to escape. Huo Yuhao dodged her explosive Butterfly God’s Light, while Xiao Tianyang watched and assessed the attack.

• Zhang Lexuan arranged for Xiao Tianyang and the others to watch Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong fight in Arena Zero.
• Huo Yuhao admitted that his first two Soul Rings were currently supportive and that he was no match for Tang Wutong, though he claimed he could evade her attacks.
• Tang Wutong read Huo Yuhao’s evasions and drove him into a corner with her combat experience.
• Tang Wutong launched her Second Soul Skill, Butterfly God's Light, sealing off Huo Yuhao’s escape routes.
• Huo Yuhao used his Mental Power to find an opening and rolled clear before the light ball exploded, which Xiao Tianyang compared to a high-explosive grenade.

After ending Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong’s spar, Xiao Tianyang learned about Wang Dong’s potential Twin Martial Souls and the origins of the Clear Sky Pagoda inherited by the Tang and Ning Families. The chapter ended with him amused by the families’ matchmaking conventions and pleased that their alliance preserved their legacies.

• Xiao Tianyang ended Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong’s match before either could win, explaining that he had only wanted to assess their abilities.
• Xiao Tianyang praised Huo Yuhao’s soul cultivation and said Wang Dong’s Martial Souls had great potential, including the possibility that she could wield the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Zhang Lexuan explained that the Tang Family and Ning Family formed the Clear Sky Pagoda through the marriage of talented members from their families.
• Zhang Lexuan said both families recognized each other’s Martial Soul inheritance and used matchmaking conventions to support whichever family weakened.
• Xiao Tianyang laughed at the unusual arrangement and reflected that he wanted the Tang and Ning Families to preserve their bloodlines.

Xiao Tianyang asked Tang Ya why she wanted to grow stronger, then offered her two ways to evolve her Blue Silver Grass. Tang Ya chose the slower path toward the Blue Silver Emperor to restore the Tang Sect, and Xiao Tianyang agreed to help her.

• Tang Ya told Xiao Tianyang she wanted to fight beside Bei Bei and stop losing to others.
• Xiao Tianyang said Shenwu Academy was not right for Tang Ya and offered to help her through one of two Martial Soul paths.
• Xiao Tianyang described Dark Blue Silver Grass as a powerful but Evil Martial Soul, and Tang Ya rejected it.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that Tang Ya could try to evolve her Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor, though it might take until the Soul King realm.
• Tang Ya chose the Blue Silver Emperor path so she could restore the Tang Sect, and Xiao Tianyang agreed to help her.

Xiao Tianyang gave Tang Ya a Hundred Herbs Pill that evolved her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and raised her Soul Power by nine levels. After Tang Ya and the other children left, Xiao Tianyang headed with Zhang Lexuan and Yan Lingji toward the Sea God Pavilion to meet the Dragon God Douluo, while noting that the other two children shared Tang Ya’s circumstances.

• Xiao Tianyang gave Tang Ya a Hundred Herbs Pill and told her to swallow it.
• Tang Ya swallowed the pill, and her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul evolved as her Soul Power rose to level nine.
• Yan Lingji explained the pill’s benefits and the drawbacks of Tang Ya’s low-grade Martial Soul.
• After sending the three children away, Xiao Tianyang asked Zhang Lexuan to lead him to the Sea God Pavilion to meet the Dragon God Douluo.
• Yan Lingji asked why Xiao Tianyang would not send the children directly to Divine Might, and Xiao Tianyang said the other two children were much like Tang Ya.

Xiao Tianyang accompanied Zhang Lexuan toward Sea God Pavilion, where Ma Xiaotao attacked him and was quickly subdued. After learning her Martial Soul was a mutated Demonic Fire Ghost Phoenix, he began asking about her condition as Xuanzi arrived.

• Xiao Tianyang told Yan Lingji he preferred to let the younger generation develop naturally and said he was more interested in the powerful figures of the present age.
• Zhang Lexuan took Xiao Tianyang by boat toward Sea God Pavilion, but Ma Xiaotao erupted from Sea God Lake and attacked him with a flaming fist.
• Xiao Tianyang stopped Ma Xiaotao's attack and extinguished her evil fire, then said she had fainted from releasing too much Soul Power.
• Zhang Lexuan explained that Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul was a mutation called the Demonic Fire Ghost Phoenix, not the Evil Fire Phoenix.
• Xuanzi arrived and focused anxiously on Ma Xiaotao, who was lying under Xiao Tianyang's cloak.

Xiao Tianyang questioned Mu En and the Sea God Pavilion elders about their hidden strength, then learned the history of the Prayer Beads in his hand and their connection to the Golden Light Temple. He realized Rong'er had given him the beads to calm him and keep him from killing anyone.

• Xuanzi sent Zhang Lexuan to carry the unconscious Ma Xiaotao back to the pavilion as the elders arrived.
• Xiao Tianyang challenged Mu En about the Sea God Pavilion’s many powerful elders, and Mu En explained that they had served the Shrek Supervisory Group and would leave for the God Realm.
• Mu En recognized the Prayer Beads, and Yan Lingji explained how three hundred Golden Light Temple monks had sacrificed themselves on the Bloody Wall.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that the Prayer Beads had come from the Shenwu Treasure Vault, passed through the Golden Light Temple’s founder, and had purified would-be thieves with their golden light.
• Xiao Tianyang concluded that Rong'er had given him the Prayer Beads to calm his heart and prevent him from going on a killing spree.

Xiao Tianyang met with Mu En and the Sea God Pavilion elders to arrange the promotion of true body arts at Shrek Academy. He then asked where the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition would be held, while the chapter described the awe his reputation and power inspired in Mu En and other experts.

• Xiao Tianyang grumbled that he would visit Golden Light Temple after its monks had Duanmu Rong return the Prayer Beads to him.
• Mu En and Xiao Tianyang went ashore and entered the pavilion with Yan Lingji.
• Xiao Tianyang confirmed that Mu En and the elders would follow his arrangements for promoting true body arts and coordinating with the True Body Sect.
• Xiao Tianyang asked where the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition would be held.
• The chapter described how Xiao Tianyang's reputation and strength made powerful figures, including Mu En, instinctively revere him.

Xiao Tianyang assessed the Sun Moon Empire’s factions and decided Sun Moon Academy’s Jing Hongchen was a threat, while Lin Jiayi might offer a way to avoid confronting the academy directly. As he planned Shrek Academy’s role in the tournament and a larger operation against the empire, he recalled a possible ambush and considered how the competition could provide a useful flashpoint.

• Yan Lingji described the Sun Moon Empire’s Elder Council, Sun Moon Academy, and Warlord Families, and Xiao Tianyang dismissed the Council as a threat while considering how to win over the Warlord Families.
• Mu En warned Xiao Tianyang that Sun Moon Academy’s headmaster, Jing Hongchen, was powerful, cunning, and growing closer to the imperial family, so Xiao Tianyang crushed the academy’s chess piece.
• Xian Lin'er introduced Lin Jiayi as an influential researcher and Mingde Hall deputy hall master, and Xiao Tianyang decided his reputation made him worth approaching.
• Xuanzi volunteered to escort Shrek Academy’s team to the tournament, but Xiao Tianyang recalled that the current Shrek's Seven Devils might face an ambush by Evil Soul Masters.
• Xiao Tianyang concluded that Yue Shen and civilian officials would support his operation, while Shrek Academy would provide martial support, and he noted that the tournament’s top contenders would likely be Shrek, Spirit Hall, and the True Body Sect.

Xiao Tianyang proposed that Huo Yuhao lead Shrek’s team in the upcoming competition while its other Seven Devils stepped down, with the team required to pass a test before departure. Mu En agreed to follow Xiao Tianyang’s wishes, recognizing that he had little reason to refuse the man who had helped his clan and whose invitation hinted at a larger purpose.

• Xiao Tianyang proposed that Huo Yuhao lead Shrek’s competition team and let the other Seven Devils step down, subject to a test before departure.
• Xuanzi objected that the young members had only three months to prepare and might not reach Soul Saint, while Xiao Tianyang said they could each make one request of him if they passed.
• Mu En and the others accepted Xiao Tianyang’s terms, and Mu En privately judged Xuanzi’s temperament to need more restraint.
• Mu En inferred that Xiao Tianyang wanted him to answer the invitation to the God Realm, and he resolved not to refuse because of his debt to Divine Might and his responsibilities to Bei Bei and Shrek Academy.
• Mu En recalled Xiao Tianyang’s brutal destruction of the City of Slaughter and concluded that he would not gamble on opposing Xiao Tianyang’s wishes.

Xiao Tianyang examined Ma Xiaotao and learned how Shrek Academy had tried to control her Demonic Fire Ghost Phoenix. He judged that the earlier treatments had been mishandled and prepared to address her condition himself.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Zhang Lexuan to take him to see the fainted Ma Xiaotao, while Mu En returned to secluded cultivation.
• Xiao Tianyang inspected Ma Xiaotao and found that her harmful Martial Soul mutation gave her tremendous potential but threatened her life.
• Cai Mei'er explained that ice-attributed potions had initially suppressed Ma Xiaotao's demonic fire, while fire-attributed potions had made it grow dangerously.
• Xiao Tianyang said both treatment plans had been feasible, but that the fire-based treatment had been used incorrectly and could have helped Ma Xiaotao reach Super Douluo.
• Xiao Tianyang told Han Ling to stay, sent the others out, and warned them not to panic when the coming commotion began.
