Chapter Summaries

Six-year-old Lin Yi prepared for his Martial Soul Awakening while his parents comforted him and he worried about whether he would have Soul Power. His father, Lin Qingxuan, arrived with an Awakening Stone, and Lin Yi agreed to begin.

• Lin Yi recalled that memories from another world had awakened when he was two, and that he had resolved to become a Soul Master despite the uncertainty of awakening.
• Lin Yi worried that Martial Soul Mutation or a lack of Soul Power could limit his future, even though both his parents were Soul Masters.
• The next day, Lin Qingxuan returned to Dawn Clothing Store with an Awakening Stone from the City Lord's Mansion.
• Lin Yi told Lin Qingxuan he was ready to awaken his Martial Soul.

Xiao Linyi underwent Martial Soul Awakening and manifested a golden tree that triggered a startling reaction from Shrek Academy’s Golden Ancient Tree. His parents identified his Martial Soul as mutated, and a test revealed Innate Full Soul Power so powerful that it shattered the crystal ball, leaving Xiao Linyi worried he might not be able to become a Soul Master.

• Lin Qingxuan arranged six Awakening Stones and guided Xiao Linyi through his Martial Soul Awakening.
• Xiao Linyi manifested a brilliant golden tree, and the Golden Ancient Tree on Sea God Island erupted with light and sent a pillar into the sky.
• The Sea God Pavilion Elders questioned the disturbance, and an aged voice attributed it to no apparent danger before they dispersed to calm the students.
• Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi suspected Xiao Linyi’s golden tree was a Martial Soul Mutation and reassured him that its powerful aura suggested it was beneficial.
• Xiao Linyi placed his hand on a crystal ball, which blazed with blue light, cracked, and shattered as his parents recognized the result as Innate Full Soul Power.
• Xiao Linyi feared that something was wrong with his Soul Power and wondered if he could become a Soul Master.

After Xiao Linyi’s Martial Soul shattered the Crystal Ball, Mu En arrived and identified it as the Golden Tree, connected to Sea God Island’s Golden Ancient Tree. He discovered Xiao Linyi had a Dual Extreme Martial Soul with more than ten levels of Innate Soul Power, and a new test revealed fifteen levels.

• Lin Qingxuan comforted Xiao Linyi after his Martial Soul awakened and the Crystal Ball shattered, while Ouyang Xi reassured him he could become a Soul Master.

• Mu En scolded Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi for failing to recognize the Extreme Attribute, then had Xiao Linyi test his Soul Power again and saw a reading of fifteen levels.

After Xiao Linyi revealed his extraordinary Soul Power, Mu En invited him to join Shrek Academy and told him how his parents had risen to prominence there before a mission left Lin Qingxuan badly injured. Learning about his parents’ past and their bond with the academy, Xiao Linyi chose to enroll.

• Xiao Linyi displayed Innate Level 15 Soul Power, and Mu En explained that his rare Martial Soul exceeded the usual limit.

• Lin Qingxuan reassured Mu En that the academy had continued helping them, while Ouyang Xi remembered that Lin Qingxuan had taken the blow to save her.
• After hearing their story, Xiao Linyi told Mu En he was willing to join Shrek Academy.

Xiao Linyi accepted Mu En as his master and traveled with his parents to Shrek Academy. When he released his Golden Tree Spirit beside the Golden Ancient Tree, the tree seized him and drew him into its trunk, leaving the gathered elders stunned.

• Mu En asked to take Xiao Linyi as his disciple, and Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi agreed as long as Xiao Linyi chose for himself.
• Xiao Linyi bowed to Mu En, who revealed that he was the Pavilion Master of Sea God Pavilion and a rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo, and named Xiao Linyi his fifth personal disciple.
• Ouyang Xi warned Xiao Linyi to avoid Mu En's eldest disciple, Yan Shaozhe, and Lin Qingxuan explained that she had rejected Yan Shaozhe's offer to teach her after learning about his past.
• Mu En took Xiao Linyi and his parents to Sea God Island, where he introduced the Golden Ancient Tree and explained its connection to Xiao Linyi's Golden Tree Spirit.
• Xiao Linyi released his spirit, and the Golden Ancient Tree enveloped him in light and pulled him into its trunk as the Sea God Pavilion elders watched.

Xiao Linyi promised the Golden Ancient Tree that he would save it from a powerful being devouring it, and received its blessing. The blessing healed Lin Qingxuan and helped him break through, while Xiao Linyi remained inside a Light Cocoon for a month.

• The Golden Ancient Tree drew Xiao Linyi into a golden space and asked him to save it from an unknown being; Xiao Linyi agreed.
• The Golden Ancient Tree sent Xiao Linyi back to his parents, then enveloped him in a Light Cocoon to bless and strengthen him.
• Xiao Linyi thought of his father's injuries, and the Golden Ancient Tree sent life force and pure Light Power to Lin Qingxuan.
• Lin Qingxuan purified the Evil aura in his body, healed his stubborn illness, and broke through to rank seventy-eight Soul Power after cultivating for three days.
• Ouyang Xi punched Lin Qingxuan when he awoke, and Xiao Linyi remained cocooned until it stirred a month later.

After Xiao Linyi emerged from a month-long cocoon, Mu En prepared to take him and his parents to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his First Soul Ring. When Xiao Linyi rejected Shrek Academy over its prejudice against Soul Tools, Mu En was forced to confront the academy’s flaws.

• Xiao Linyi woke from the Light Cocoon, and Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi confirmed he was unharmed before Mu En warned him to keep his fortuitous opportunity secret.
• Mu En set out with Xiao Linyi, Lin Qingxuan, and Ouyang Xi to obtain Xiao Linyi’s First Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Mu En asked Xiao Linyi about his future path, and Xiao Linyi said he wanted to become a Support System Soul Master because of his Golden Tree’s light and life attributes and the combat potential of Soul Tools.
• After Mu En explained Shrek Academy’s view that Soul Tools were merely external power, Xiao Linyi said he would not attend the academy because he disagreed with its stance.
• Xiao Linyi argued that a leading academy should welcome different fields of knowledge, leaving Mu En to face the corruption and narrow-mindedness within Shrek Academy.

Xiao Linyi challenged Shrek Academy’s resistance to Soul Tools and persuaded Mu En that the academy should embrace their development. Mu En asked Xiao Linyi to study at Shrek and eventually change its attitude, then asked whether he had chosen his First Soul Ring.

• Ouyang Xi argued that Soul Tools were external power, but Xiao Linyi pointed out their rapid development and potential to threaten even Titled Douluo.
• Xiao Linyi argued that Soul Tools could become part of a Soul Master’s own power and compared using them to relying on Soul Rings from Soul Beasts.
• Mu En asked Xiao Linyi to study at Shrek Academy and, when he grew strong enough, change the academy’s rejection of Soul Tools; Xiao Linyi agreed.
• Xiao Linyi urged Mu En to start changing the academy’s attitude now rather than leave the task to the next generation, and Mu En appeared to take the advice to heart.
• Mu En asked Xiao Linyi whether he had chosen his First Soul Ring, and Xiao Linyi said he had.

Xiao Linyi explained why he wanted an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast for his First Soul Ring, hoping its developed roots would strengthen the Golden Tree. His unusually strong body could withstand a Soul Ring of up to five thousand years, but the group worried that finding Blue Silver Grass old enough would be difficult as they reached the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Xiao Linyi told Ouyang Xi, Lin Qingxuan, and Mu En that Blue Silver Grass's extensive root system could help his Golden Tree.
• Xiao Linyi explained that he had observed Blue Silver Grass because it was the only Soul Beast from his guide that grew everywhere, winning Mu En's approval.
• Ouyang Xi explained that Soul Ring limits depended on a Soul Master's physical and spiritual strength, and Lin Qingxuan found Xiao Linyi's body was strong enough for a thousand-year Soul Ring.
• Mu En examined Xiao Linyi and determined he could absorb a Soul Ring of up to five thousand years, likely because of the Golden Ancient Tree's month-long influence.
• Xiao Linyi worried that a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass would be even harder to find, and the group continued to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Linyi and his companions searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast, until his Golden Tree Spirit led them to a hidden valley. There they found a dying Blue Silver Grass nearly ten thousand years old attempting a forced breakthrough, and Xiao Linyi remained transfixed as Ouyang Xi called him away to choose a four-thousand-year Soul Ring.

• Xiao Linyi stayed beside Lin Qingxuan as the group entered the Star Dou Great Forest and searched the Mixed Zone for a Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass.
• After nearly four days without success, Xiao Linyi summoned his Golden Tree Spirit and sensed it guiding him toward a secluded valley.
• Xiao Linyi led the group to a valley filled with Blue Silver Grass, where they found three Thousand-Year plants, including one nearly ten thousand years old.
• Mu En explained that Blue Silver Grass needed to evolve into a Blue Silver King or Blue Silver Emperor to overcome its bloodline limits.
• The oldest Blue Silver Grass attempted a forced breakthrough, but Ouyang Xi's Soul Douluo aura interrupted it and made failure inevitable.
• Ouyang Xi told Xiao Linyi to choose the four-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, but he stayed watching the oldest plant.

Xiao Linyi used his Innate Domain to help a Blue Silver Grass break through its ten-thousand-year bottleneck, with Lin Qingxuan supporting them. The grass succeeded by sacrificing its Origin Life Force, then performed a final Sacrifice that left Mu En recognizing the legendary ritual.

• Xiao Linyi summoned his Golden Tree Spirit and used its Innate Domain to channel Radiance and life energy into the struggling Blue Silver Grass.
• Lin Qingxuan activated his Martial Soul Avatar to restore Xiao Linyi's strength and further support the grass's repeated breakthrough attempts.
• The Blue Silver Grass ignited its Origin Life Force and finally broke through the ten-thousand-year bottleneck, but its shattered body and fading aura showed that it was dying.
• The Blue Silver Grass thanked Xiao Linyi and offered him a final gift, then its body melted into him as it performed Sacrifice.
• Mu En recognized the ritual as the legendary Sacrifice recorded in the academy's archives.

Xiao Linyi completed a Blue Silver Grass sacrifice, gaining a ten-thousand-year First Soul Ring, an External Soul Bone, and a powerful Rooting skill. The Blue Silver Grass in Blue Silver Valley helped the ring’s Spirit Body become a ten-thousand-year Blue Silver King named Lin Tong, and Xiao Linyi revealed that he had reached level twenty.

• Mu En recognized that the Blue Silver Grass was sacrificing itself to Xiao Linyi and reassured his parents that the process was safe.
• Xiao Linyi absorbed the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring but remained in meditation for another hour before waking.
• Xiao Linyi discovered that he had gained an External Soul Bone and demonstrated his Rooting skill, which let him sustain his one-kilometer Golden Domain for hours.
• The Golden Domain nourished the Blue Silver Grass in the valley, whose gathered energy transformed the ring’s Spirit Body into a ten-thousand-year Blue Silver King.
• Xiao Linyi named the Blue Silver King Lin Tong, and then said he thought he had reached level twenty.

Xiao Linyi reached Level 20 and explained why he wanted a Light-attribute amplification skill for his Second Soul Ring. After testing his ability to withstand Spirit Shock, the group agreed to seek a Light-attribute Soul Beast no older than 25,000 years in the Star Dou Great Forest’s Mixed Zone.

• Xiao Linyi revealed that he had reached Level 20, and Lin Qingxuan confirmed his Soul Power and foundation were stable.
• Xiao Linyi chose a Light-attribute amplification skill to balance his Golden Tree Martial Soul and strengthen his support abilities, earning Mu En’s praise for his sensible approach.
• Mu En determined that Xiao Linyi’s body could handle a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, while Lin Qingxuan warned that its Spirit Shock could endanger his young mind.
• Xiao Linyi demonstrated that Rooting, his Golden Domain, and Lin Tong could help him withstand Spirit Shock; Mu En’s test showed he could endure one from a soul beast around 35,000 years old with all his methods.
• The group set a 25,000-year maximum for Xiao Linyi’s Second Soul Ring and entered the Mixed Zone to search for a Light-attribute Soul Beast.

Lin Qingxuan, Ouyang Xi, Mu En, and Xiao Linyi searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable Light Attribute soul beast and discovered three legendary Starfall Unicorns. After testing Xiao Linyi, the unicorn leader recognized him as an honored Child of Light, leaving the group confused.

• Ouyang Xi rejected a twenty-thousand-year Bright Armor Beast because she feared its ugly appearance might affect Xiao Linyi, and Lin Qingxuan and Mu En accepted her decision.
• After searching unsuccessfully through the Mixed Zone, Mu En led the group into the Core Zone, where they encountered two unsuitable soul beasts before resting for the night.
• Mu En tracked a Light Attribute soul beast to a stream, where the group found three Starfall Unicorns and learned they were legendary supreme-grade beasts from the Otherworld.
• Xiao Linyi told the guarded unicorn leader that he had come to obtain a soul ring, and the leader warned that its children's rings could overwhelm his body.
• The leader tested Xiao Linyi with golden light, then apologized and addressed him as the honorable Child of Light, astonishing everyone.

Lin Yi's encounter with the Starfall Unicorns clarified his resolve to become the strongest, and he sought a way to gain one as his Soul Ring. Lin Yao ultimately agreed to merge with Lin Yi's light and become his Soul Ring.

• The Starfall Unicorn recognized Lin Yi as a Child of Light but refused to become his Soul Ring, saying its race was unworthy of his pure light.
• Lin Yi reflected on the helplessness of the weak and resolved to become the strongest, a change that the Starfall Unicorn sensed in his light.
• Ouyang Xi threatened to kill the Starfall Unicorn, which warned that it could leave behind no Soul Ring even if killed.
• Lin Yi apologized for his mother's words, named the Starfall Unicorn Lin Yao, and asked what would make it become his Soul Ring.
• Lin Yao agreed to become Lin Yi's Soul Ring if he truly needed its strength.

Lin Yi agreed to let Lin Yao become his Second Soul Ring, but searched for a way to preserve Lin Yao’s Spirit Body. After Lin Yao merged with him and his mate and child helped draw out his Spirit Body, the fusion succeeded, leaving Lin Yi with a forty-thousand-year Second Soul Ring and a Starfall Unicorn he could summon.

• Lin Yao agreed to merge with Lin Yi as a Soul Ring, but explained that his kind could not normally leave behind a Spirit Body.
• Lin Yi recalled how Lin Tong had survived her Sacrifice and proposed using Lin Yao’s mate and child to draw out his Spirit Body while his Golden Tree Martial Soul protected it.
• Lin Yao asked Lin Yi to hold his horn, and the unicorn dissolved into golden light that merged into Lin Yi.
• Lin Yi summoned his Golden Tree Martial Soul and guided the two Starfall Unicorns’ beams into the black Soul Ring for three hours.
• Lin Yi completed the fusion, gained a forty-thousand-year Second Soul Ring, and summoned Lin Yao beneath him to carry him.

Lin Yi celebrated his powerful Second Soul Skill, Golden Protection, before Mu En discovered that he had gained another External Soul Bone. Lin Yi learned that the bone was Lin Yao’s race’s horn and that it let him sense others’ emotions, but its full effects remained unclear.

• Lin Yi described Golden Protection, which doubled his Light Affinity and created a Light Shield that could protect and enhance others.
• Mu En imagined Lin Yi becoming an exceptional Support System Soul Master, then was embarrassed when Lin Yi revealed that Light had told him how he felt.
• Mu En sensed an External Soul Bone in Lin Yi, and Lin Yi summoned a golden horn from his forehead.
• Lin Yao explained that the horn belonged to her race and had become Lin Yi’s External Soul Bone.
• Lin Yi retracted the horn and saw that it left a Golden Mark on his forehead.
• Lin Yi told Mu En that the External Soul Bone had let him sense his master’s emotions.

Lin Yi tested his Soul Power, named Lin Yao’s mate and child, and persuaded the Starfall Unicorn family to travel with him to Shrek Academy under strict mutual oaths of safety. As Mu En brought them to Sea God Island, the God of Light noticed Lin Yi’s oath and secretly attached his Divine Sense to him.

• Lin Yi used a Crystal Ball and revealed that his Soul Power had reached Level 26, not Level 30.
• Lin Yi named Lin Yao’s mate Lin Xing and their child Lin Guang, then invited them to leave the Star Dou Great Forest for Shrek Academy.
• Lin Yi swore to protect Lin Xing and Lin Guang, while Lin Yao agreed to bring his family to the academy; Mu En promised their safety and required them not to attack students or harm the Golden Ancient Tree.
• Mu En carried Lin Yi and the Starfall Unicorn family to Sea God Island, while Lin Yao returned to Lin Yi’s Soul Ring.
• The God of Light sensed the Faith Power raised by Lin Yi and Lin Yao’s oaths, inspected Lin Yi, and secretly attached his Divine Sense to him.

Mu En introduced Lin Yi and the Starfall Unicorns to Sea God Pavilion and granted Lin Yi special permission to enter the Inner Court, then arranged a practical assessment at Lin Yi’s request. The chapter ended as six-year-old Lin Yi released his golden tree Martial Soul to face Wu Ming.

• Mu En brought Lin Xing and Lin Guang to Sea God Island and ordered the Elders not to harm them, then introduced Lin Yi as his new disciple and the child of Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi.
• Mu En announced that he would personally teach Lin Yi in the Inner Court, and Lin Yi asked to test his strength against an Inner Court student in exchange for a reward if he won.
• Mu En promised Lin Yi one reasonable request if he won and appointed Yan Shaozhe to referee the assessment.
• Lin Yi told Mu En that Radiance did not like Yan Shaozhe, prompting Mu En to take the claim seriously and postpone discussing it.
• Wu Ming arrived to assess Lin Yi, doubted that the six-year-old was the candidate, then obeyed Yan Shaozhe and prepared to fight him.
• Lin Yi released his golden tree Martial Soul, revealing two black Soul Rings as the assessment began.

Lin Yi faced Wu Ming in a combat assessment and showed that his Golden Protection could withstand her increasingly powerful attacks. The Elders learned that Lin Yi possessed both Extreme Light and Extreme Life, while Wu Ming remained unable to break through his defenses.

• Wu Ming and the Elders were stunned when Lin Yi revealed two black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, and Yan Shaozhe proceeded with the assessment despite Lin Yi being a Support System Soul Master.
• Wu Ming used flames against Lin Yi, whose Golden Tree gathered light power and formed a barrier that blocked her attacks.
• At Yan Shaozhe's urging, Wu Ming attacked in earnest, using repeated Golden Crow True Fire strikes before detonating them with her Third Soul Skill.
• Lin Yi avoided injury by forming a new Golden Protection from the residual light elements after Wu Ming's explosion shattered his first barrier.
• Mu En confirmed that Lin Yi possessed Extreme Light and Extreme Life, astonishing the Elders.
