Chapter Summaries

Beibei gained the Purple Lightning Bright Emperor Dragon’s bloodline, a fourth Soul Skill, an External Soul Bone, and a rise in Soul Power after Lin Yi helped him absorb it. The group returned to Shrek City only to learn that the freshman assessments had ended, then went with Lin Yi to meet his mother, Vice Dean Ouyang Xi.

Lin Yi told Mu En about Huo Yuhao’s extraordinary Spiritual Eye, Spirit Attribute, and hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, and the two discussed whether Shrek Academy should cultivate him. After hearing a mysterious voice and then spotting Huo Yuhao facing a pink-blue-haired youth, Lin Yi and Mu En settled in to watch their confrontation.

• Ouyang Xi approved makeup assessments for Beibei and Tang Ya and allowed Huo Yuhao to complete his delayed Tang Sect Special Recruitment paperwork.

• Huo Yuhao emerged from the dormitory and faced a pink-blue-haired youth; Lin Yi predicted that Huo Yuhao had a good chance of winning.

Lin Yi watched Huo Yuhao defeat Wang Dong, then taught Wang Dong a lesson about using his full strength and scared him into calling their dispute even. He sold a weakened Mandala Snake to Gong Changlong for 15,000 Gold Soul Coins and later entered the Spiritual Space while holding the Spirit Gold, calling for the senior within.

• Lin Yi brought a 1,300-year-old Mandala Snake to Gong Changlong and sold it to the Beast Arena for 15,000 Gold Soul Coins.
• Lin Yi gave the Gold Soul Coin cards to Beibei to distribute, then entered the Spiritual Space while holding the Spirit Gold and called for the senior there.

Lin Yi met the God of Light, who offered to teach him the Light Body Cultivation Method and became his master. After the God of Light revealed another presence in Lin Yi’s Spiritual Space, Lin Yi agreed to awaken the remnant soul, and the God of Light began nourishing it.

• The God of Light appeared in Lin Yi’s Spiritual Space, and Lin Yi recognized him and respectfully greeted him.
• The God of Light offered to take Lin Yi as his disciple, and Lin Yi accepted after learning he would teach him the Light Body Cultivation Method.
• The God of Light told Lin Yi that a remnant soul also resided in his Spiritual Space and offered to separate it or awaken it.
• Lin Yi recalled the remnant soul calling itself a Child of Light and agreed to let the God of Light awaken it.
• The God of Light infused the Gray Stream’s sphere with Radiance, and a consciousness began to awaken within it.

Lin Yi welcomed the awakened remnant soul Electrolux into his Sea of Consciousness and eagerly asked to learn magic. After the God of Light revealed that Tang San had influenced Mu En to support the Tang Sect and had been shielding Lin Yi from detection, Lin Yi asked whether Tang San could be punished for breaking the God Realm’s rules.

• The gray figure awakened, thanked Lin Yi and the God of Light, and explained that he was a remnant of an otherworldly divine soul with missing memories.
• The gray figure named himself Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer, Calamity of the Undead, and agreed to stay with Lin Yi and the God of Light; Lin Yi asked him to teach magic once he recovered.
• The God of Light told Lin Yi that Mu En had been plotted against, and Lin Yi deduced that Tang San had influenced him through the Blue Silver Emperor within the Golden Ancient Tree to support the Tang Sect.
• Lin Yi feared Tang San might discover and attack him, then concluded that the Golden Ancient Tree and the God of Light had shielded him from detection.
• The God of Light confirmed Lin Yi’s deductions and said Tang San had repeatedly violated the God Realm’s rules; Lin Yi asked whether Tang San could be arrested, convicted, or killed, and the God of Light scoffed at his ambition.

The God of Light explained Tang San’s influence over the God Realm and told Lin Yi about the political divisions among its leaders. She revealed that a gathering she arranged would keep Tang San occupied for seven God Realm days, giving Lin Yi seven years in the lower realm to grow stronger.

• The God of Light warned Lin Yi that Tang San held substantial influence in the God Realm and explained how the God Realm Committee was governed.
• The God of Light described the disagreements between Destruction and Life and said Tang San used the God Realm Central Hub to strengthen his authority.
• Lin Yi worried that Tang San might discover him before he had time to develop, and asked how long the God of Light’s protections would conceal his aura.
• The God of Light revealed that she had arranged a goddess gathering hosted by Emotion, expecting Tang San and Destruction to attend and keep each other in check.
• The God of Light said the gathering would last seven days, which gave Lin Yi seven years in the lower realm to prepare.

Facing the possibility that Tang San might act before the God of Light’s promised seven years were up, Lin Yi set a five-year deadline to become stronger and used Wood Clones to pursue several goals at once. He discovered that sharing memories with four independently thinking Doppelgangers overwhelmed his spirit, so he limited their connection to brief check-ins; the God of Light and Electrolux watched his experiment, and Electrolux expressed interest in it.

• Lin Yi decided to prioritize his growth within five years, focusing on Soul Power cultivation while still wanting to develop his techniques, physical cultivation, Spiritual Power, and Soul Artifacts.
• Lin Yi realized his Wood Clones could think independently and created four Doppelgangers, who divided the work of developing cultivation methods, studying Combat Techniques and Spiritual Power, and advancing Soul Artifacts.
• The Doppelgangers’ simultaneous thoughts overwhelmed Lin Yi’s spirit, forcing him to stop cultivating and fall into a deep sleep.
• Lin Yi severed the shared consciousness link and set a three-day interval for reconnecting with the Doppelgangers.
• When Lin Yi reconnected, their accumulated memories overwhelmed him and caused him to lose consciousness, while the Doppelgangers carried him to bed and waited.
• The God of Light and Electrolux discussed Lin Yi’s risky method, and Electrolux admitted that he was interested in him.

After memory overload from his doppelgangers left Lin Yi unconscious for two days, Electrolux taught him how to refine his Spiritual Power and control the Clone Technique. Lin Yi also chose to protect Mu En despite the danger from Tang San, and the God of Light revealed she had already removed Tang San’s influence and granted Lin Yi new methods.

• Lin Yi and his doppelgangers argued over how to prevent memory transmissions from overwhelming him, until the God of Light summoned him to meet Electrolux.
• Electrolux offered Lin Yi his legacy, and Lin Yi accepted after misunderstanding Electrolux’s question about Necromancy as a character test.
• Electrolux demonstrated his precise control of Spiritual Power and taught Lin Yi to filter transmitted memories, strengthen his soul, and stop pushing the Clone Technique beyond his limits.
• The God of Light warned Lin Yi that removing Tang San’s method from Mu En could expose him, but Lin Yi refused to abandon his master after learning of the plot.
• The God of Light revealed she had already removed the influence on Mu En, gave Lin Yi the Light Body Cultivation Method and Light Healing Method, and promised a Godhood Assessment once he reached the Six-Ring Soul Emperor rank.
• Electrolux invited Lin Yi to study magic, including Necromancy and Soul Magic, to prepare for opposing the Sea God.

Lin Yi visited the Outer Court and discovered that a teacher was expelling freshmen who struggled during a weighted run. He confronted her over the dismissals, leaving the dispute unresolved.

• Lin Yi rested from Spiritual Power training, then rode Lin Yao to the Outer Court to look for Beibei and Huo Yuhao.
• Lin Yi found Huo Yuhao running with his classmates in heavy Iron Clothes and observed that several struggling students looked hopeless.
• After class, the elderly teacher expelled several freshmen for poor performance, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong watched in distress.
• Lin Yi stepped between the teacher and the students and challenged her decision; after learning he was from the Inner Court, she defended her practice of removing students she considered too weak.
• Lin Yi grew furious at the teacher's explanation and prepared to uphold justice.

Lin Yi confronted Zhou Yi for expelling promising freshmen and tried to arrest her, but her Soul Tools prolonged their fight. He overwhelmed her defenses and struck her with lightning, just as an angry voice called for him to stop.

• Lin Yi learned Zhou Yi had expelled the freshmen for falling behind in laps, recognized her from a file proposing her dismissal, and declared her unqualified to teach.
• Zhou Yi refused to surrender and revealed her Soul Emperor cultivation and Level 6 Interference Soul Tool after escaping Lin Yi's Golden Imprisonment.
• Lin Yi attacked with a Thunder Net, while Zhou Yi used a Level 7 Defensive Soul Tool to hold him off as students gathered and word spread through the academy.
• Lin Yi increased the lightning's power until Zhou Yi's Soul Power ran out and the attack struck her.
• An angry voice from a distance shouted at Lin Yi to stop.

Lin Yi defeated Zhou Yi and faced Fan Yu after Fan Yu arrived to protect her, while Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection Sharing helped Lin Yi evade Fan Yu's attacks. The confrontation escalated when Lin Yi revealed powerful Soul Beast Spirit Bodies, and Zhou Yi accused him of using Evil Soul Master methods.

• Lin Yi intensified his lightning attack on Zhou Yi, leaving her badly charred before Fan Yu arrived and healed her with Life Source Fluid.
• Zhou Yi accused Lin Yi of ruining her honor, and Fan Yu threatened him before attacking with Soul Douluo pressure and a Capture Bomb.
• Lin Yi dodged Fan Yu's attacks, and Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection Sharing unexpectedly connected to him.
• Lin Yi used Light Mimicry to conceal his Golden Tree, then summoned the Starfall Unicorn, Thunderclap Hellvine, and Phantom Soul Tree.
• Zhou Yi accused Lin Yi of using Evil Soul Master methods and urged Fan Yu to seize him, while Lin Yi regarded her coldly.

Lin Yi fought Fan Yu and threatened to detonate a Level 8 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell after Zhou Yi’s attempt to expel a student escalated into a confrontation. Mu En, Ouyang Xi, and Lin Yi’s friends arrived, leaving the dispute awaiting resolution under their scrutiny.

• Lin Yi summoned the Starlight Unicorn, Thunderclap Hellvine, and Phantom Soul Tree to attack Fan Yu, but the assault drained Lin Yi’s Soul Power and destroyed Fan Yu’s Level 8 Spiritual Defense Soul Tool.
• Lin Yi used his remaining Soul Power to reveal a Level 8 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell and warned Fan Yu that he would detonate it if attacked.
• Fan Yu recognized Lin Yi as Vice Dean Lin’s son and lowered his defenses; Mu En arrived, and Lin Yi ran to him, claiming that they had bullied him.
• Du Weilun arrived and respectfully greeted Mu En, while Ouyang Xi flew in with Beibei and Tang Ya and checked Lin Yi for injuries.
• Tang Ya explained that Beibei had anticipated Fan Yu might intervene and had sought help; Beibei then supported Lin Yi after learning he had exhausted his Soul Power.
• Mu En drew everyone’s attention to the unresolved dispute, and the gathered group looked toward Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi attacked Zhou Yi, Ouyang Xi ordered Zhou Yi detained while Huo Yuhao gave an objective account of her treatment of the freshmen. Lin Yi concluded that Shrek’s leadership had accepted him as its future, while Mu En prepared one final safeguard for the academy.

• Beibei took the Level 8 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell from Lin Yi, and Du Weilun sent the gathered students back to class.
• Huo Yuhao volunteered to explain the incident, while Wang Dong led the freshmen back to their classroom.
• Ouyang Xi ordered Du Weilun to detain Zhou Yi, and Fan Yu stepped aside rather than challenge her.
• Huo Yuhao recounted his experiences to Ouyang Xi and Du Weilun without embellishment.
• Lin Yi returned to Sea God Island and reasoned that Mu En had kept other experts from intervening to test where Shrek’s loyalties lay.
• Lin Yi concluded that Shrek had already accepted him as its future leader, while Mu En still intended to add one safeguard for the academy.

At the Sea God Pavilion Meeting, Lin Yi defended his use of a Level 8 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell and accepted a no-reward, no-punishment ruling. Mu En then named Lin Yi his successor-in-training, and Lin Yi proposed punishments and compensation for Zhou Yi and Fan Yu before receiving a temporary observer’s seat in Sea God Pavilion.

• Elder Song and Elder Zhuang defended Lin Yi while acknowledging his recklessness, and Lin Yi said he accepted whatever punishment the Elders chose.
• Mu En ruled that Lin Yi’s service in exposing Zhou Yi’s misconduct balanced out his dangerous threat with the cannon shell, and Lin Yi accepted the decision.

• The Sea God Pavilion Elders accepted Lin Yi’s rapid rise, while Ouyang Xi assigned Zhou Yi’s punishment to Ouyang Xi and the student investigation to Du Weilun.
• Lin Yi confronted Fan Yu, who admitted fault and pleaded to remain at Shrek; Lin Yi forgave him and retained him as a potential ally.
• Lin Yi resumed cultivating his Spiritual Power and used Wood Clones to study Soul Power and vital energy while easing the strain of shared memories.
• After mastering Electrolux’s Spiritual Power training method, Lin Yi spent two more months refining his clones and completed the Golden Tree Wood Clone technique.
• Lin Yi visited the Outer Court, failed to find Beibei, and noticed Huo Yuhao had advanced to the freshmen assessment finals, prompting him to watch the boy’s upcoming battle.

Lin Yi watched the freshmen assessment and discovered that Wang Dong’s Light Goddess Butterfly carried an aura bestowed by Sea God Tang San, provoking the God of Light. Huo Yuyao’s team won its semifinal, and Lin Yi resolved to oppose Tang San as the team prepared to face Dai Huabin.

• Lin Yi greeted Cai Mei'er, Du Weilun, and Ouyang Xi, then learned that this year’s freshmen included three Soul Elders.
• Lin Yi learned that Huo Yuhao’s team had already defeated the Soul Elder Ning Tian and the Rubber Elephant Soul Elder Xie Huanyue.

• Lin Yi learned that Huo Yuhao’s next match would be against Dai Huabin’s team, which included a Hell Spirit Cat user, and sensed darkness in Huo Yuhao’s heart.

Lin Yi watched Huo Yuhao's team face Dai Huabin's in the freshman assessment, where both sides unleashed Martial Soul Fusion Skills and Huo Yuhao's team won. After celebrating with the victors, Lin Yi sensed a powerful divine aura around Wang Dong and learned from Electrolux not to act rashly.

• Huo Yuhao's team eliminated Cui Yajie and gained the upper hand against Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, but Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu joined forces to unleash the Hell White Tiger.

• Huo Yuhao invited Lin Yi, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao to celebrate with Beibei and Tang Ya, while Lin Yi used the gathering to investigate Wang Dong's situation.
• Electrolux warned Lin Yi that Wang Dong carried a dense divine aura, and Lin Yi suppressed his killing intent.

Lin Yi learned that Wang Dong’s Sea God Imprint could be sealed and concealed, then attended the freshman awards ceremony and advised Huo Yuhao’s team not to absorb their reward Soul Bone. The chapter ended with Lin Yi admitting that he still had all six Soul Bone slots open.

• Lin Yi, the God of Light, and Electrolux confirmed that Wang Dong bore Tang San’s Sea God Imprint and planned to seal it while masking it with an illusion.

Lin Yi gave Huo Yuhao a nine-hundred-year Secret Method Soul Bone and warned him that he would have to repay the gift someday. Over the next six months, Lin Yi’s doppelgangers advanced his cultivation methods, and his growing Spiritual Power let him create a fifth doppelganger to study magic.

• Huo Yuhao and his teammates gave an eight-thousand-year Soul Bone to Xiao Xiao, and Lin Yi gave Huo Yuhao a nine-hundred-year Secret Method Soul Bone to save or use for fusion later.
• Lin Yi warned Huo Yuhao that every gift had a price, and Huo Yuhao promised to help him in the future.
• Lin Yi startled Wang Dong with a bolt of Thunder after she insulted him, then returned to the Sea God Pavilion to cultivate.
• Over six months, Lin Yi’s doppelgangers developed the Speed Soul Technique and Blood Moving Method, while his Combat Techniques improved and his Soul Artifact research lagged.
• Lin Yi increased his Spiritual Power control enough to create a fifth doppelganger and assigned it to study magic with Electrolux.
• The God of Light resented that Electrolux had a doppelganger studying under him while she did not.

Lin Yi finished creating his Fifth Magic Clone and went out to relax, only to learn from Beibei that Shrek’s selection for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Competition had already begun. The chapter ended as Elder Song announced six team spots to the gathered Inner Court students, while Lin Yi headed to the Sea God Pavilion to ask why he had not been notified.

• Lin Yi persuaded the God of Light to accept his explanation for why his true body would comprehend Radiance, then continued training despite the limits on his Spiritual Power and Soul Power.
