Chapter Summaries

• Qian Chaoguang built a semi-underground Ice House, cooked beef noodles, and rested while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm maintained the Spiritual Cage.

Qian Chaoguang and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began persuading the imprisoned Ice Empress to fuse with him, arguing that soul beasts could not become gods. The chapter left Ice Empress trembling after Qian Chaoguang revealed an aura like Electrolux’s.

• Qian Chaoguang recovered and prepared for the fusion, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned him that absorbing Ice Empress’s nearly four-hundred-thousand-year origin would be agonizing.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm released Ice Empress from the Spiritual Cage but kept her trapped in the Molted Shell, then confessed his love and explained the God Creation Plan.
• Qian Chaoguang argued that soul beasts could not become gods, citing Tang San’s companions, the repeated Heavenly Tribulations, and powerful beasts such as Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord.
• Ice Empress questioned how Qian Chaoguang knew these secrets, and he projected an aura resembling Electrolux’s with his Divine Sense, leaving her trembling with emotion.

Qian Chaoguang and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm convinced the Ice Empress to join them by presenting Qian as a godlike opportunity and securing her trust with an oath. After the Ice Empress released her Spiritual Origin, she saw Qian’s Sea of Spirit and realized how extraordinary he was.

• The Ice Empress saw Qian Chaoguang’s powerful Sea of Spirit and marveled at why Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had chosen him for its God Creation Plan.

Qian Chaoguang, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and Ice Empress agreed on how to fuse Ice Empress’s Soul Bone and Soul Ring. As the Soul Bone began transforming Qian Chaoguang’s body, Ice Empress discovered how exceptional his physique and life force were.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm introduced Qian Chaoguang to Ice Empress and explained that she would become his First Soul Ring and Second Martial Soul.
• Qian Chaoguang, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and Ice Empress agreed to fuse Ice Empress’s Soul Bone before her Soul Ring.

• Ice Empress sensed Qian Chaoguang’s pure body, powerful meridians, and abundant Bloodline Power and Power of Life, and felt reassured about his chances of becoming a god.

Qian Chaoguang absorbed the Ice Empress's torso bone, enduring two days and nights of excruciating pain as its energy transformed his bones, flesh, and organs. The process neared completion with much of the energy sealed for future cultivation, while his Spiritual Power also grew.

• The Ice Empress injected power from her true body into Qian Chaoguang, and jade-green energy spread through his torso bones.
• Qian Chaoguang used the Golden Body Art and his Bloodline Power to devour the torso bone's energy, triggering a fierce struggle of heat and cold within his body.
• His Bloodline Power transformed his flesh and internal organs, expelling old tissue as he endured severe pain and blood loss.
• The Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sealed much of the torso bone's energy for gradual release during Qian Chaoguang's future cultivation.
• After two days and nights, the pain began to subside as the devouring, tempering, and sealing neared completion, and Qian Chaoguang distracted himself with thoughts about his ordeal.

After absorbing the Ice Empress’s Soul Bone, Qian Chaoguang rested while the Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fused her into his first martial soul and Soul Ring. He emerged with a four-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and planned to test a theory before seeking his second ring.

• Qian Chaoguang finished absorbing the Ice Empress Soul Bone, which greatly strengthened his body, then ate and drank before falling asleep from exhaustion.
• The Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began fusing the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion into Qian Chaoguang’s first martial soul and Soul Ring, preserving the Ice Empress’s intelligence.
• After the fusion, Qian Chaoguang emerged from the snow with a blood-red Soul Ring bearing four golden patterns and gained two skills.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm offered to help Qian Chaoguang obtain his second Soul Ring, but Qian Chaoguang chose to test a theory and spread his Divine Sense across the surrounding area.

After merging with the Ice Empress, Qian Chaoguang investigated whether Extreme Ice Light could safely absorb a Soul Ring, wary that doing so might change his personality. He discovered the Martial Soul rejected a Hundred Year Soul Ring and ended the chapter preparing to test it with a Thousand Year Soul Ring.

• Qian Chaoguang decided to cultivate Extreme Ice Light as his Main Martial Soul but postponed giving it a Soul Ring until he could test for harmful effects.
• Qian Chaoguang used Divine Sense to locate a lone Hundred Year Soul Beast, approached it underground, and killed it with a surprise slash.
• Qian Chaoguang tried to draw the Hundred Year Soul Ring toward Extreme Ice Light, but his Spiritual Perception sensed the Martial Soul's strong rejection.
• Qian Chaoguang hunted a lone Thousand Year Soul Beast and killed it after a difficult fight, then examined the dense purple Soul Ring rising from its corpse.

After Qian Chaoguang nearly died trying to absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring, he realized his First Martial Soul could no longer accept Soul Rings from Soul Beasts. Unable to find another way to obtain them, he summoned Electrolux for help.

• Qian Chaoguang tested the Thousand Year Soul Ring and stopped when his Spiritual Perception warned that absorbing it would kill him.
• Qian Chaoguang told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that his First Martial Soul might no longer be able to obtain Soul Rings from Soul Beasts.
• Qian Chaoguang considered God-Bestowed Soul Rings and creating a Soul Ring himself, but found no clear solution.
• Qian Chaoguang hid in an Ice House and summoned Electrolux, who appeared and asked why he had been called.

Qian Chaoguang asked Electrolux to help him overcome his First Martial Soul’s refusal to accept Soul Beast Soul Rings. After studying Qian Chaoguang’s Martial Souls, Soul Rings, and imprinted skills, Electrolux said he had found a possible solution, made possible by Qian Chaoguang’s unusual cultivation method and strong foundation.

• Qian Chaoguang explained the Douluo Continent’s Soul Master System and his cultivation problem to Electrolux.
• Electrolux examined Qian Chaoguang’s Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Martial Souls and their Soul Rings, and Qian Chaoguang discovered he could use both Martial Souls at once.
• Electrolux judged that Soul Rings were energy and Spiritual Power shaped to release skills through resonance with laws, but said he needed time to study how to imprint skills onto them.
• Qian Chaoguang shared his knowledge of imprinting Blade Light, Eternal Frost Domain, and Wrath of the Ice Emperor, while Electrolux studied the methods through the night.
• The next day, Electrolux announced that he had mostly understood the process and said Qian Chaoguang’s cultivation method and strong foundation gave him a chance to condense Soul Rings himself.

Qian Chaoguang learned that condensing a Soul Ring by himself required a skill to imprint, and Electrolux had too few remembered spells to provide one. Qian Chaoguang used Light Mimicry to create an Eight-Part Light Wheel, giving Electrolux a workable skill to study and leaving him with plenty of room to refine its use.

• Electrolux explained that independent Soul Ring condensation required powerful Spiritual Power or Spiritual Origin, along with a skill to imprint.
• Electrolux described Spell Models and transmitted his knowledge of them to Qian Chaoguang.
• Qian Chaoguang activated Light Mimicry and shaped Extreme Ice Light into a hollow wheel for Electrolux to examine.
• Qian Chaoguang spun and launched the wheel, using it to cut through ice and grind away a blade light before calling it back.
• Electrolux praised the skill as a useful basis for condensing a Soul Ring and noted that Qian Chaoguang wasted too much Spiritual Power and Soul Power.

Electrolux refined the Eight-Part Light Wheel into a potential soul skill and taught Qian Chaoguang a method for condensing Soul Rings. His analysis led him to suspect that the God Realm had imposed the laws governing Soul Rings and cultivation ranks.

• Qian Chaoguang eagerly accepted Electrolux’s offer to refine the Eight-Part Light Wheel and asked to become his disciple.
• Electrolux warned Qian Chaoguang that inheriting his legacy could make the world reject him, but said he might accept him after restoring his memories.
• Electrolux returned hours later and imparted the Soul Ring Condensation Method, the Inscription Method, and the Spell Model Transformation Formula to Qian Chaoguang.
• Qian Chaoguang studied the complicated condensation method while Electrolux explained that Soul Rings relied chiefly on a beast’s Spiritual Origin and soul, with its cultivation contributing only a small portion.
• Electrolux concluded that Soul Rings functioned like valves connecting a Soul Master’s martial soul to the laws, and that the Clear Sky Sect’s Ring Explosion Ultimate Skill temporarily destroyed those valves.
• Electrolux found the requirement to obtain Soul Rings to advance between major ranks unnatural and suspected that gods on the God Realm had imposed it.

Electrolux used the Light Element bead to create a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for Qian Chaoguang, showing him how to construct and fuse its spell structures. The ring reached the limit Qian Chaoguang could currently bear, with its sealed excess energy set to unfold as he grew.

• Qian Chaoguang asked Electrolux whether he should begin condensing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Electrolux chose the dormant Light Element bead as its vessel.
• Electrolux drew out the Golden Bead and formed a golden halo by inscribing six runes into it.
• Electrolux constructed a Spell Model, transformed it into a Rune Ring Belt, and showed Qian Chaoguang each step.
• Electrolux fused the Rune Ring Belt with the halo, which changed color until it became a thick black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Electrolux explained that the ring's excess energy would gradually unseal as Qian Chaoguang grew, allowing him to imprint another Soul Skill once it could bear the strain.

Qian Chaoguang fused with the Artificial Soul Ring created by Electrolux, broke through to a little past level 27, and tested its adaptable soul skill. After running across the Extreme North to clear his mind, the story shifted to Shrek Academy as new students arrived for entrance exams and returning students prepared for advancement assessments.

On Shrek Academy’s registration day, Qian Chaoguang returned from the Extreme North and reunited with Huo Yutong, publicly flaunting their relationship as Wang Dong complained. He agreed to spar with Dai Luoli and reflected on living more openly, leaving to register and visit his teacher.

• Huo Yutong waited at Shrek Academy’s gates with Wang Dong and Dai Luoli, while Wang Dong grumbled that Qian Chaoguang was late and boasted about becoming a Soul Elder.

After returning from the Extreme North, Qian Chaoguang reunited with Huo Yutong and reported to Qian Duoduo, revealing his successfully awakened Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul. He left Qian Duoduo stunned by displaying a genuine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Qian Chaoguang showed Qian Duoduo and Huo Yutong his newly awakened Extreme Ice Second Martial Soul, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Soul Bone, then explained how he claimed to have gained them in the Extreme North. Qian Duoduo warned him to conceal the Soul Bone and keep the truth secret as they left the office.

• Qian Chaoguang revealed his Extreme Ice Second Martial Soul and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone to Qian Duoduo and Huo Yutong.
• Qian Chaoguang told Qian Duoduo that he had followed a mysterious inner guidance into the Extreme North and encountered a dying Ice Jade Scorpion.
• Qian Chaoguang claimed that he had released his unformed Second Martial Soul before passing out, then awoke with the Ice Jade Scorpion gone and its Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Torso Bone within him.
• Qian Duoduo speculated that the Ice Jade Scorpion had sacrificed itself and assured Qian Chaoguang that a sacrifice could leave no hidden danger.
• Qian Duoduo warned Qian Chaoguang to hide the Soul Bone, limit his use of its abilities, and keep the matter secret even from Wang Yan.

Qian Chaoguang assured Qian Duoduo of his loyalty and demonstrated his powerful second Soul Skill, the Eight-Part Light Wheel. The academy would keep his Soul Engineer rank secret, and he and Huo Yutong headed back to their dormitory after Qian Duoduo encouraged them to show their abilities in the advancement assessment.
