Lin Yi returned to Shrek Academy, abandoned his attempt to craft technology-based Soul Tools, and spent a year developing a cultivation-based alternative. He finally completed his first Soul Artifact, though it looked like a misshapen brick.

• Lin Yi returned from Soul Hunting, relieved Beibei of caring for the Dragon Scale Rice, and chased him into a fight after calling him his great-grandson.
• Lin Yi spent half a year reaching Fourth-Rank Soul Engineer, then struggled with the complex three-dimensional Core Arrays of Fifth-Rank Soul Tools.
• Lin Yi decided to stop crafting Soul Tools and instead study how to use them, but he soon began developing his own path of Artifact Crafting.
• Lin Yi used Soul Tool principles and immortal cultivation ideas to research Artifact Crafting, while Mu En arranged for Beibei to join the Tang Sect and Zhang Lexuan continued visiting Lin Yi.
• After a year of experiments, Lin Yi created the first Soul Artifact on the Douluo Continent, a rough brick-shaped magical treasure.

Lin Yi spent four years developing Soul Artifacts, creating six powerful artifacts and persuading Shrek Academy to begin researching them. By the end, he had kept the Golden Staff and Thunder Ring for himself and imagined a future as a long-range fighter.

• Lin Yi crafted his first Soul Artifact, a golden brick capable of striking with the force of a Level 3 Soul Cannon, and named it Gold Brick.
• Lin Yi devoted most of his cultivation time to artifact crafting while Beibei entered Shrek Academy and joined the Tang Sect with its remaining disciple.
• Lin Yi learned that Xuan Zi had abandoned the Soul Hunting Team to find food, so Mu En stripped him of his authority and made him a Shadow Guard while ordering him to produce an heir.
• Lin Yi crafted the growth-capable Dragon Head Cane for Mu En, who responded by assigning Lin Yi to lead Shrek's research into Soul Artifacts.
• Lin Yi created the Life Soul Pendant for Lin Qingxuan, the Crimson Sun Bracelet for Ouyang Xi, the Dragon Scale Ring for Beibei, and the Thunder Ring for himself.
• Lin Yi crafted the Golden Staff with help and materials from Mu En, Lin Qingxuan, Ouyang Xi, and others, gaining an artifact that strengthened his attributes and improved his Soul Power efficiency.

Over four years, Lin Yi reached Soul Ancestor and developed Spirit-based abilities, a Wood Clone, and a way to swap places with it near the Golden Ancient Tree. After defeating ten Soul Emperor Inner Court students, he began taking Shrek Inspection Team missions, setting out with Zhang Lexuan and his grandniece Ma Xiaotao.

• Lin Yi reached Level 40, then obtained a ninety-nine-thousand-year Spirit Attribute Phantom Soul Tree as his Fourth Soul Ring and gained the Phantom Eye External Soul Bone.
• Lin Yi developed the Golden Tree Spirit Soul Skill, the self-created skill One Look and You're Stupid, and the Wood Clone, which could also let him swap places with a clone near the Golden Ancient Tree.
• Lin Yi joined the Inner Court and defeated its Four-Ring students, then its Soul Kings, including Wu Ming, before finally defeating ten Soul Emperors.
• Lin Yi secretly sent a Wood Clone out from Shrek City while his main body stayed at the academy, and began carrying out Inner Court missions as part of the Shrek Inspection Team.
• Mu En assigned Zhang Lexuan to lead Lin Yi on his first mission, and Ma Xiaotao joined them as a teammate.

Over four years, Lin Yi grew close to Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao while carrying out missions, and became ruthless in hunting Evil Soul Masters. He pursued new cultivation methods and eventually met Tang Ya, whose Mysterious Heaven Skill he hoped to study; the chapter ended when Beibei told him he was taking Tang Ya to the Star Dou Great Forest for her Third Soul Ring.

• Lin Yi equipped himself with an enormous arsenal of Soul Tools before joining Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao on missions.
• As the missions shifted to hunting Evil Soul Masters, Lin Yi killed them without hesitation and tortured one captive for information; Zhang Lexuan later reported that he hated evil and acted with integrity.
• Lin Yi secretly kept the Evil Soul Masters' bodies for dissection as he researched ways to cultivate Soul Power, physical strength, and blood vitality.
• Lin Yi met Tang Ya and asked Beibei to propose exchanging the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but Tang Ya refused to share the Tang Sect technique.
• Beibei told Lin Yi that he planned to accompany Tang Ya to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her Third Soul Ring.

Lin Yi learned from the Golden Ancient Tree that the Sea God had acted against the Son of Fortune, and he decided to seek him out in the Star Dou Great Forest. He joined Beibei and Tang Ya on their journey to obtain Tang Ya’s Third Soul Ring, and the group stopped near the forest after Tang Ya caught a delicious smell.

• Beibei told Lin Yi that he and Tang Ya planned to obtain Tang Ya’s Third Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Lin Yi learned Beibei had reached Level 39.
• The Golden Ancient Tree warned Lin Yi that the Sea God had targeted the Son of Fortune and advised him to seek the Son’s allegiance rather than attack him.
• The Golden Ancient Tree said Lin Yi’s status as the Child of the Plane would draw him toward the Son of Fortune, and Lin Yi decided to travel to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Yi met Beibei and Tang Ya at Shrek City’s east gate and joined their journey, teasing them about their relationship along the way.
• The three reached a stream near the Star Dou Great Forest to rest, and Tang Ya noticed a delicious smell.

Huo Yuhao shared his grilled fish with Lin Yi, Beibei, and Tang Ya, who learned he was heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring. Lin Yi suspected Huo Yuhao might be a Son of Fortune and rushed ahead when he sensed danger, only to encounter a huge fat worm and a terrifying spiritual fluctuation.

• Huo Yuhao grilled fish for Lin Yi, Beibei, and Tang Ya, then introduced himself and set off toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Yi, Beibei, and Tang Ya decided to follow Huo Yuhao, and Lin Yi dried his clothes with Light Attribute Soul Power before he left.
• Lin Yi told Beibei and Tang Ya that Huo Yuhao’s short blade was a high-quality Fourth-Rank Soul Tool, suggesting his background was more complicated than it seemed.
• Lin Yi wondered whether Huo Yuhao was the Son of Fortune he had been searching for and urged Beibei and Tang Ya to hurry after him.
• Radiance detected Soul Power fluctuations ahead, so Lin Yi raced forward and found that a huge fat worm had appeared before Huo Yuhao.
• A terrifying spiritual fluctuation swept toward Lin Yi.

Lin Yi witnessed Huo Yuhao receive several mysterious powers and tried to delay Tang Ya from recruiting him into the Tang Sect. Huo Yuhao awakened, chose to join the sect, and Lin Yi grew more certain that Huo Yuhao was the Son of Fortune.

• A Gray Stream broke free of its pull toward Huo Yuhao, called Lin Yi a Child of Light, and entered Lin Yi’s Spiritual Space; Huo Yuhao then absorbed several powers and awakened with his wounds healed.
• Tang Ya and Beibei arrived, and Lin Yi urged them to let Huo Yuhao attend Shrek Academy before joining the Tang Sect, but Tang Ya remained determined to accept him.
• In his Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao learned that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would become his Wisdom Soul Ring and grant him a Martial Soul, then heard Tang Ya insist that she would welcome him into the Tang Sect.
• Huo Yuhao woke and told Tang Ya he had no family, then eagerly agreed to join her sect; after hearing the Tang Sect’s history and terms, he solemnly confirmed his choice.

Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect and accepted an invitation to attend Shrek Academy, while Lin Yi explained the rarity of his Body Martial Soul. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Beibei and Tang Ya fought a Mandala Snake under Lin Yi’s protection, leaving Huo Yuhao amazed by Lin Yi’s strength and distracted from the battle.

• Huo Yuhao formally joined the Tang Sect as Tang Ya’s second disciple, and Lin Yi tricked Tang Ya into drinking vinegar during the ceremony.
• Tang Ya gave Huo Yuhao the Tang Sect’s Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and Beibei gave him an imitation of the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.
• Lin Yi explained that Huo Yuhao had a rare Body Martial Soul and invited him to cooperate with Shrek Academy’s research; Huo Yuhao agreed to attend the academy through the Tang Sect’s Special Recruitment slot.
• The group entered the Star Dou Great Forest, where Tang Ya attacked nearby Wind Baboons before a poisonous Mandala Snake ambushed them.
• Lin Yi used Golden Protection to shield Beibei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao as Beibei transformed and Tang Ya summoned her vines to fight the snake.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Huo Yuhao that Lin Yi’s four disguised Soul Rings each had an aura of at least ten thousand years, and Lin Yi urged the distracted Huo Yuhao to help with the battle.

Lin Yi watched Huo Yuhao use Spirit Detection Sharing to help Beibei and Tang Ya capture a Thousand-Year Mandala Snake, then persuaded Tang Ya to abandon the Tang Sect’s traditional path for the Path of Life. Tang Ya gave Lin Yi the Tang Sect Profound Heaven Treasure Record in exchange for his help with her and Huo Yuhao’s growth, while Lin Yi secretly reached into Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness.

• Huo Yuhao activated Spirit Detection Sharing, allowing Beibei and Tang Ya to subdue the Mandala Snake.
• Lin Yi challenged Tang Ya’s plan to follow Ancestor Tang San’s path, and Tang Ya chose the Path of Life instead.
• Lin Yi offered Huo Yuhao a share of the Mandala Snake’s value, then stored the captured beast for their return to the academy.
• Tang Ya agreed to let Lin Yi read the Mysterious Heaven Skill and gave him the Tang Sect Profound Heaven Treasure Record after he accepted her conditions.
• Beibei taught Huo Yuhao the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye through the night, while Lin Yi secretly entered Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Yi entered Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness and confronted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm before learning why the Million-Year Soul Beast had bonded with him. After Lin Yi left, Huo Yuhao began to feel an unexplained tingling as Lin Yi’s promised repayment took effect.

• Lin Yi used his Spiritual Power to restrain Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, suspecting it planned to seize Huo Yuhao’s body, until Huo Yuhao explained their bond.
• Lin Yi questioned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s account and exposed that it had concealed its plan to help Huo Yuhao become a god in exchange for eternal life.
• Lin Yi revealed his own strength, assured Huo Yuhao he would not take their opportunity, and offered to help them if needed.
• Lin Yi told Huo Yuhao not to act rashly against the Tang Sect before he was strong enough, then disappeared after promising to repay him.
• Huo Yuhao wondered what Lin Yi meant by repayment, then felt a tingling sensation spread through his perception.

Lin Yi tempered Huo Yuhao’s body and meridians with lightning, then subjected him to a painful Minor Life Baptism to strengthen his weak foundation. Huo Yuhao recovered as Lin Yi departed, leaving him awed and indebted.

• Lin Yi used controlled lightning to cleanse and strengthen Huo Yuhao’s body, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained the benefits and cost of the process.
• Lin Yi reflected that he might be Huo Yuhao’s fortuitous encounter and used Golden Domain to widen and reinforce Huo Yuhao’s meridians through repeated damage and repair.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stabilized Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness and roused his will by reminding him of his desire to avenge his mother.
• Lin Yi increased the intensity of the painful tempering despite Beibei and Tang Ya’s concern, and Huo Yuhao endured it until sunset.
• Huo Yuhao awoke feeling stronger and admiring Lin Yi, who told the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to stabilize him before leaving.

Huo Yuhao recovered after Lin Yi tempered his body and quickly broke through to Soul Power level twelve. Lin Yi woke and reunited with the others, and the chapter left Lin Yi and Beibei competing to cook lunch for Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao.

• Lin Yi left after helping Huo Yuhao, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged Huo Yuhao to consolidate his cultivation.
• Huo Yuhao found that his meridians had improved, cultivated with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and reached level twelve.
• Huo Yuhao woke to Tang Ya's care and learned that Lin Yi had exhausted his Spiritual Power helping him, while Beibei had kept watch.
• Beibei explained Lin Yi's Extreme Light and Extreme Life attributes and asked Huo Yuhao to keep them secret.
• Lin Yi woke, traded teasing remarks with Beibei, and challenged him to a cooking contest after Tang Ya returned with fish.
• Lin Yi and Beibei prepared dishes for Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao to judge, while Tang Ya revealed that Lin Yi's teacher was Beibei's great-grandfather.

Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao judged Lin Yi the winner of a cooking contest against Beibei, who then broke through to Soul Ancestor. As the group entered the Star Dou Great Forest to seek Soul Rings for Tang Ya and Beibei, Lin Yi recommended suitable Soul Beasts and hinted that Huo Yuhao’s wishes would help them find the right ones.

• Tang Ya voted for Lin Yi’s spicy cooking while Huo Yuhao chose Beibei’s fish, so Tang Ya broke the tie by awarding Lin Yi the win for better presentation.
• Beibei paid his wager and admitted Lin Yi’s cooking was good, while Lin Yi noted that Beibei had developed precise control through his past chores.
• Beibei broke through to Soul Ancestor, and Lin Yi took charge of the group’s Soul Ring hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Yi recommended a three-thousand-year Silver Scale Grass for Tang Ya and a ten-thousand-year Purple Thunder Bright Emperor Dragon for Beibei.
• Lin Yi demonstrated that he could use Beibei’s Thunder Dragon Claw and Thunderous Might, then asked Huo Yuhao whether he wanted Tang Ya and Beibei to find suitable Soul Beasts.

Lin Yi led Beibei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao into the Star Dou Great Forest, where Tang Ya risked absorbing a three-thousand-year Silver Scale Grass Soul Ring. She succeeded and gained the Life Attribute, and the group continued searching for a Soul Beast for Beibei.

• Lin Yi used his sensory soul skill and knowledge to locate a three-thousand-year Silver Scale Grass and told Tang Ya to absorb it.
• Tang Ya struggled through the Soul Ring absorption as Beibei panicked, while Lin Yi chose to let her endure without enhancing her unless necessary.
• Lin Yi encouraged Tang Ya through Spiritual Power, and she successfully absorbed the Soul Ring and became a Soul Elder.
• Tang Ya discovered that her Blue Silver Grass had gained the Life Attribute and demonstrated her third soul skill, Eternal Vitality, which restored a broken vine.
• Lin Yi led the group onward to search for a Soul Beast for Beibei, and an hour later they encountered a powerful one.

Lin Yi used his abilities to evolve the Purple Thunder Bright Emperor Dragon into a True Dragon, making Beibei’s prospective Soul Ring far more dangerous. After dodging the beast’s pursuit and surviving its breath attacks, Lin Yi prepared to fight at full strength and stunned it with his Aurora Finger.

• Lin Yi recognized that the Purple Thunder Bright Emperor Dragon’s bloodline was on the verge of transforming and warned Beibei that the beast was fifteen thousand years old.
• Lin Yi released his four black Soul Rings, used Golden Growth and the Golden Domain, then flooded the Purple Thunder Bright Emperor Dragon with Extreme Light and Extreme Life until it grew dragon wings and became a True Dragon.
• A Black Dragon in the Star Dou Great Forest sensed the transformation, dismissed the beast as unworthy of a True Dragon bloodline, and went back to sleep.
• The Purple Thunder Bright Emperor Dragon attacked Lin Yi, who used Lightning Charge to evade it until its breath attack struck him through his Golden Protection.
• Beibei gave Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao sunglasses before Lin Yi unleashed Aurora Finger, blinding and injuring the Purple Thunder Bright Emperor Dragon.

Lin Yi repeatedly blinded and weakened the Purple Lightning Bright Emperor Dragon before keeping it alive until Beibei could deliver the final blow. Beibei began absorbing its Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring despite Tang Ya's concern about Soul Shock.

• Lin Yi defended the renamed Aurora Finger and used Lightning Condensing Pearl to injure the Purple Lightning Bright Emperor Dragon.
• The Purple Lightning Bright Emperor Dragon lost control and attacked wildly, while Lin Yi and the others stayed safely out of reach.
• Lin Yi repeatedly restored the dragon's strength and blinded it with Aurora Finger until it became exhausted and its aura began to collapse.
• Lin Yi kept the dying dragon alive for half an hour, then told Beibei to kill it with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
• Beibei killed the Purple Lightning Bright Emperor Dragon, formed its Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and began absorbing it.

Lin Yi explained how his combat planning weakened the Purple Lightning Bright Emperor Dragon and enabled Beibei to absorb its Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Beibei then asked why Lin Yi had spared the dragon and why the absorption had gone so smoothly, prompting Lin Yi to admit that the dragon's resentment might have caused a Soul Shock Beibei could not withstand.

• Beibei finished absorbing the Purple Lightning Bright Emperor Dragon's Soul Ring and advanced to Soul Ancestor with four rings.
• Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao, and Beibei asked Lin Yi how Beibei had survived absorbing a Soul Ring far beyond his limit, and Lin Yi explained his tactics as they left the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Yi described how he analyzed the dragon's bloodline weakness, forced it to evolve until it was exhausted, then harassed it before defeating it.
• Beibei summarized that Lin Yi had acted threatening to make the dragon expend more energy, then asked why Lin Yi had spared it and made the Soul Ring easy to absorb.
• Lin Yi said the dragon's resentment had grown so strong that Beibei likely could not have endured its Soul Shock, but Beibei's follow-up question was cut off.
