Chapter Summaries

Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie’s fight was investigated after Law Enforcers stopped the brawl. Elder Cai ruled that Xie Xie had caused the incident by accidentally seeing Yuanen bathing and punished him with Contribution Point deductions, leaving him at risk of expulsion if he failed to repay them.

• Yuanen Yehui resisted the Law Enforcers’ pressure, while the seventh ring Battle Armor Master stopped Xie Xie’s bleeding and heard Yue Zhengyu accuse her of being an Evil Soul Master.
• The Law Enforcers took Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Yue Zhengyu, and the other Work-Study Students to the Academic Affairs Office.

• Elder Cai deducted five thousand Contribution Points from Xie Xie and ordered him to compensate Yuanen Yehui ten thousand Contribution Points, warning that he would be expelled if he failed to repay the debt on time.

Elder Cai punished Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, and Tang Wulin for the conflict, while Su Hao explained how Tang Wulin’s intervention led to his fine. The next morning, Xie Xie worried about the humiliation he had caused Yuanen Yehui and resolved to compensate her.

• Elder Cai accepted Xie Xie’s admission of fault, warned Yuanen Yehui not to seek revenge, and ordered Yue Zhengyu to clean Spirit Ice Plaza for a month and pay Yuanen Yehui five thousand Contribution Points.

• The next morning, Xie Xie asked Su Hao whether he had gone too far, and Su Hao told him to compensate Yuanen Yehui and avoid provoking her again.

Wu Changkong assigned the students group mecha-building projects and warned that their final exam would include a class-wide mecha competition. Su Hao decided to make Battle Armor instead, explaining his plans to Gu Yue as they left the classroom.

• Wu Changkong assigned Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Luo Guixing, and Wu Sidao to Group One, placed Su Hao alone in Group Two, and announced the mecha-building requirements and final exam stakes.

• Tang Wulin left Shrek City after receiving a Soul Tool Communication, while Su Hao and Gu Yue walked out together.
• Gu Yue said Tang Wulin would use Heavy Silver and she would use Magic Silver for their One-word Battle Armor; Su Hao planned to use Five Elements Metal for Two-word Battle Armor and said he could finish its upper half before the competition.

Xie Xie failed to reconcile with Yuanen Yehui, but Su Hao encouraged him to focus on improving himself, and Xie Xie rushed off to study. Elder Feng took Tang Wulin away for several days of cultivation, and Tang Wulin returned to class stronger while Xu Xiaoyan reached Rank 30.

• Su Hao and Gu Yue saw Xie Xie waiting outside Yuanen Yehui's door, then heard her tell him to get lost when he tried to apologize.
• Su Hao urged Xie Xie to earn Contribution Points, study at the Manufacturing Association, and become strong enough to protect himself, so Xie Xie hurried off to study.

Shen Yi and Wu Changkong tested Class One’s teamwork in a practical combat class, and the first group’s poor coordination led to their defeat. The remaining groups still had to face the two teachers.

• Shen Yi explained that each group would fight either her or Wu Changkong at full strength, with the class committee going first.
• Su Hao chose Wu Changkong, and Tang Wulin’s group also selected him for their demonstration.
• Tang Wulin, Luo Guixing, Gu Yue, and Wu Sidao initially combined their attacks, but Wu Changkong blocked them and counterattacked.
• Luo Guixing teleported Wu Sidao away but left Tang Wulin exposed, prompting Gu Yue to rescue Tang Wulin and attack Wu Changkong with a Four Elements tornado.
• Tang Wulin pulled Luo Guixing out of the tornado, but the group’s disagreements ruined their teamwork, and Wu Changkong froze Wu Sidao’s exhausted Hell White Tiger to end the fight.

Su Hao challenged Wu Changkong in the practical combat exercise, showing off his powerful Soul Skills before launching a Super Electromagnetic Cannon at his teacher. The Arena shook from the blast, and the chapter ended before Wu Changkong’s fate was revealed.

• Su Hao chose Wu Changkong as his opponent, drawing the other students to the Arena to watch.
• Su Hao attacked with his Second Soul Skill, and Wu Changkong blocked the projectiles with Frost Mark before charging him.
• Wu Changkong’s layered Frost Mark struck Su Hao, but Su Hao used his First Soul Skill to turn golden and punch through the sword light.
• Su Hao produced a coin and fired a Super Electromagnetic Cannon at Wu Changkong, filling the Arena with crackling purple-blue light.
• Yang Nianxia asked whether Wu Changkong could withstand the blast.

Su Hao and Wu Changkong continued their sparring match, with Su Hao using his speed, endurance, and unusual powers to gain the advantage. Wu Changkong’s attacks became trapped by Su Hao’s Immeasurable Void, leaving Su Hao poised to strike him with a black-gold fist.

• Su Hao’s afterimage tricked Wu Changkong, and Su Hao pressured him with rapid close-range attacks.
• Wu Changkong used his Sixth Soul Skill, Frost Condensation, to transform into White Light and charge at Su Hao.
• Su Hao threw a five-colored lotus to meet Wu Changkong’s charge, while Immeasurable Void stopped Wu Changkong’s Sky Frost Slash before it could reach him.
• With Wu Changkong occupied by the lotus and his halted slash, Su Hao activated his First and Third Soul Skills and appeared beside him with a black-gold fist raised.

Su Hao decisively defeated Wu Changkong during the practical combat drill, leaving him injured and unable to continue. Shen Yi took over the remaining matches, and the students learned that facing her was painful in its own way.

• Su Hao struck Wu Changkong before he could properly bring his Battle Armor into play, sending him crashing into the Arena barrier and breaking the Five-Colored Lotus.
• Wu Changkong suppressed the Annihilation Soul Power invading his body and admitted he could not safely continue fighting.
• Wu Changkong gave Su Hao full marks, and Shen Yi offered to find a healing teacher before agreeing to run the remaining drills.
• The next six groups challenged Shen Yi and were crushed by her Mimosa control attacks, while Xu Yucheng's and Yang Nianxia's groups lasted somewhat longer.

After Practical Combat Class, Tang Wulin and his friends discussed training and learned that they could challenge the Spirit Pagoda’s tower to help Xu Xiaoyan obtain a higher-quality Soul Spirit. Gu Yue began arranging Xiaoyan’s qualification review, and Tang Wulin agreed to assemble a seven-person team for their next rest day.

• Yang Nianxia left the Arena covered in red whip marks, while Shen Yi and Wu Changkong let the students reflect on their own performance.
• Gu Yue invited Su Hao, Tang Wulin, Wu Sidao, and Luo Guixing to eat, and Tang Wulin later went with the others to rent a Forging Room.
• Su Hao wandered around the academy, then returned to the dormitory and heard a dragon's roar from the woods where Tang Wulin was cultivating.
• Gu Yue told Tang Wulin and the others that Xu Xiaoyan could seek a thousand-year Soul Spirit through the Spirit Pagoda’s team Tower Challenge.
• Tang Wulin and Xie Xie agreed to help Xu Xiaoyan, and Gu Yue asked Tang Wulin to find two more teammates for their next rest day.

Tang Wulin formed a plan to recruit Yue Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui as backup teammates for the Spirit Pagoda tower, while Xu Xiaoyan avoided inviting classmates to protect her advantages. Su Hao reflected on Shrek Academy’s costly and ruthless approach to education, leaving him convinced the academy’s practices would eventually provoke its destruction.

• Gu Yue explained that teammates could not differ in age by more than three years, and Tang Wulin narrowed the possible recruits to students from his class or Grade Two.
• Xie Xie suggested Yuanen Yehui, while Su Hao ruled out Wu Sidao and Luo Guixing for team battles and kept Yang Nianxia as a possible backup.
• Xu Xiaoyan said she did not want classmates to learn about her Soul Spirit or Star Wheel Ice Staff, so Tang Wulin proposed asking Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu instead.
• Tang Wulin negotiated with Yue Zhengyu, who agreed to join, but decided to wait before approaching Yuanen Yehui.
• Su Hao considered Shrek’s Contribution Point system, its teachings, and its cultivation facilities, and concluded that the academy’s practices would make others want to destroy it.

Tang Wulin’s group discussed Yuanen Yehui’s condition and secured a second Spirit Pagoda slot so she could join their Tower Challenge. As they prepared to leave the next morning, Tang Wulin began planning the challenge, while Xu Xiaoyan resolved to work harder and Su Hao offered to handle any enemies the group could not defeat.

• Tang Wulin told the group Yuanen Yehui’s condition, and Gu Yue and Su Hao agreed that helping her join could strengthen the team and improve their relationship with her.
• Xu Lizi visited Tang Wulin and explained that he and Ye Xinglan would be transferred from the Inner Court to the Outer Court until they became Battle Armor Masters; afterward, he and Tang Wulin ate the cafeteria’s food clean.
• Gu Yue visited Spirit Pagoda Headquarters and returned with approval for a second slot, and Xu Xiaoyan silently resolved not to hold her companions back.
• The next morning, Yuanen Yehui kept her distance from Yue Zhengyu as the group gathered to leave for the Tower Challenge.
• Tang Wulin asked everyone for suggestions on their plan, and Su Hao told him to command while offering to handle anything the group could not manage.

Tang Wulin organized a temporary team and led them to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters so Xu Xiaoyan could obtain a Soul Spirit. The group arrived at the enormous tower and learned about the Spirit Pagoda’s influence and organization.

• Yuanen Yehui agreed to cooperate with Tang Wulin but refused to accept Yue Zhengyu's command, so Tang Wulin persuaded Yue Zhengyu to hand over leadership.
• Tang Wulin assigned roles to the seven-person team, placing Yuanen Yehui at the center and directing the others to attack, control, and assist while Su Hao conserved his strength.
• The group rode in Yue Zhengyu's butler's car toward the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and Yuanen Yehui threatened Xie Xie when he let his thoughts wander.
• The team arrived at the Spirit Pagoda and saw its immense tower, a major institution alongside Shrek Academy in Shrek City.
• The chapter described how the Spirit Pagoda's council brought together representatives from clans, organizations, and the Federation while keeping the organization out of politics and direct control of Soul Masters.

Gu Yue led Tang Wulin and the others through Spirit Pagoda Headquarters toward the Soul Spirit Tower, revealing her high standing there. They met Gu Yue’s teacher, Leng Yaozhu, who recognized Su Hao and led the group onward to a golden elevator.

• Gu Yue explained that the Soul Spirit Tower was a virtual facility inside Spirit Pagoda Headquarters and led the group there.
• Gu Yue used a badge to gain the group entry and access to a red elevator reserved for Spirit Pagoda upper management, prompting Yue Zhengyu to question her status.

• Gu Yue contacted someone and brought the group to meet her teacher, Leng Yaozhu, who greeted Su Hao as Cao Hongwen’s disciple.
• Leng Yaozhu led the group through the headquarters, where staff bowed to her, and opened a lavish golden elevator toward the Soul Spirit Tower.

Leng Yaozhu sent Tang Wulin and his companions into the Soul Spirit Tower for their first Tower Challenge, where they faced a pack of Wind Wolves. Su Hao wiped out nearly the entire pack in the First Trial while the others conserved their strength.

• Leng Yaozhu activated the Soul Spirit Tower and watched Gu Yue, Su Hao, and the others enter.
• The seven arrived in a vast octagonal hall, and Tang Wulin arranged them into a battle formation as eight metal gates opened.
• More than a hundred Wind Wolves emerged and cautiously surrounded the group.
• Su Hao told the others to conserve their strength, then used his Second Soul Ring to launch the wolves and attack them with fire and ice.
• Su Hao blocked the surviving wolves' Wind Blades with an Air Wall and crushed them with intense pressure.

Tang Wulin’s team cleared the Soul Spirit Tower’s first eight trials and reached the ninth, where four Ice Bears unleashed a blizzard. Su Hao stepped forward to face them as the storm obscured the team’s vision.

• The group chose to continue past the Wind Wolf Soul Spirit and entered the Second Trial, where Xie Xie killed eight Flame Magic Lions.
• The team cleared six more trials, with each stage bringing stronger Soul Beasts, and Yuanen Yehui defeated six two-thousand-year Soul Beasts in the Eighth Trial.
• In the Ninth Trial, Xu Xiaoyan eagerly favored the four Ice Bears, while Gu Yue warned the group that the stage was a major hurdle.
• Su Hao took the lead against the Ice Bears, which gathered together and combined their powers to unleash a blizzard.

Su Hao defeated four Ice Bears and captured the survivor for Xu Xiaoyan to consider as a Soul Spirit. Xu Xiaoyan chose an Ice Bear as her Second Soul Spirit, despite apologizing to the imprisoned bear.

• Su Hao soaked the Ice Bears with a Water Dragon, then struck them with a Lightning Spear that killed or incapacitated three.
• The last Ice Bear fled, but Su Hao trapped it with Five Elements Imprisonment.
• Su Hao asked Xu Xiaoyan what she thought of the captured Ice Bear as a Soul Spirit.
• Xu Xiaoyan decided to choose an Ice Bear as her Second Soul Spirit and apologized to the imprisoned bear.

Xu Xiaoyan obtained the Ice Bear as her Third Soul Ring, while Tang Wulin's group continued to the tenth stage to find a Soul Spirit for Yuanen Yehui. There, Tang Wulin stepped forward to challenge a Magic Lizard Dragon alone.

• Xu Xiaoyan persuaded the Ice Bear to become her Soul Spirit and began absorbing it.
• Gu Yue told the group to continue upward so Yuanen Yehui could find a Soul Spirit, and Tang Wulin led them through the gate to the tenth stage.
• The group entered a new level and saw a single enormous metal door open to reveal a Magic Lizard Dragon.
• Su Hao struck the Magic Lizard Dragon with Spiritual Power to stop its piercing cry.
• Tang Wulin stopped Su Hao and rushed out to fight the Magic Lizard Dragon alone.

Tang Wulin defeated a Magic Lizard Dragon, and Su Hao noticed the devouring power in Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Claw. On the eleventh level, the group encountered a fast, intelligent Thunder Beast, and Su Hao moved to fight it.

• Tang Wulin killed the Magic Lizard Dragon with his Golden Dragon Claw, and Su Hao noticed Tang Wulin absorbing its energy.
• The five companions formed a triangular battle formation as the eleventh level’s door opened.
• Su Hao sensed a change in the air, and Tang Wulin raised a Blue Silver Grass barrier around the group.
• A Thunder Beast attacked with lightning, and Su Hao caught the bolt with a Thunder Giant Hand.
• Su Hao confronted the Thunder Beast, countered its lightning attack, and watched it retreat a hundred meters away.

Su Hao trapped the Thunder Beast, and Yue Zhengyu defeated it so the group could advance to the twelfth stage. There, Tang Wulin’s team encountered a King Kong Baboon, a gigantic and savage strength-type Soul Beast.

• Su Hao pursued the Thunder Beast, shielded Tang Wulin and the others with Vines, and trapped it in a metal cage.
• Yue Zhengyu used Light Judgment to defeat the exhausted Thunder Beast, and the group chose to continue rather than absorb its Soul Spirit.
• Tang Wulin led the team through the gate to the twelfth stage and warned everyone to stay alert.
• Yehui identified the enormous Soul Beast emerging from the cavern as a King Kong Baboon, known for its immense strength, low intelligence, and Berserk ability.

Yuanen Yehui chose the five-thousand-year King Kong Baboon as the target for her Soul Ring and led the attack, but its overwhelming strength and Berserk state put the team in danger. As the baboon charged her, Su Hao finally intervened with a gigantic handprint.

• Yuanen Yehui chose the King Kong Baboon and attacked it using her King Kong Titan Soul Skill.
• The King Kong Baboon knocked Yuanen Yehui aside, then swatted Tang Wulin away when he tried to stop it.
• Gu Yue struck the baboon with a three-element Ice Spear, driving it back and provoking it into Berserk.
• Yuanen Yehui warned the team about the baboon's Berserk state and fled when it charged her again.
• Su Hao told Yuanen Yehui to get down and sent a gigantic handprint toward the King Kong Baboon.
• The King Kong Baboon raised its fist and smashed toward Su Hao's handprint.
