Chapter Summaries

Tang San’s plans for the Douluo Continent were disrupted by a mysterious Golden Beam, and the God of Destruction confronted him for interfering with the lower realm. On the continent, Mu En found the golden-eyed infant Ye Chen and adopted him; years later, Ye Chen was shown sneaking soul beast meat with Beibei at Shrek Inner Court.

• A Golden Beam disrupted Tang San’s ability to foresee the Douluo Continent’s future, and the God of Destruction caught him preparing to investigate it and took him to the God Realm Committee.
• The Golden Beam landed near the Star Dou Great Forest, where it left a golden-eyed infant inside a crater.
• Mu En found the infant, read the name Ye Chen on his swaddling cloth, and took him away to raise.
• Di Tian arrived after Mu En had left, sensed the lingering Light Aura, and departed without investigating further.
• Years later, Ye Chen and Beibei ate stolen soul beast meat at Shrek Inner Court, and Beibei complained that Ye Chen always blamed him when they were caught.

Ye Chen reached the day of his Martial Soul Awakening, and Mu En guided him through the ceremony at Sea God Pavilion. He awakened the Emperor Aurora Sword, an Extreme Light Martial Soul, astonishing Mu En and the other elders.

After discovering that Ye Chen’s Aurora Sword possessed an Extreme Attribute and that he had Innate Full Soul Power, Mu En set out a training plan and took him as his Final Disciple.

• Ye Chen’s Soul Power was exhausted, and Ma Xiaotao thanked him for being such a good little brother.

After weeks of medicinal baths strengthened Ye Chen’s body enough to attempt a thousand-year first Soul Ring, Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao took him to the Star Dou Great Forest. The chapter ended when they found a thousand-year Light Unicorn for Ye Chen.

• Ma Xiaotao teased Ye Chen after he helped her vent her Evil Fire, and Yan Shaozhe’s cough prompted her to let him go.

• Yan Shaozhe spotted a golden, winged, one-horned creature, and Ye Chen recognized it as a Thousand-Year Light Unicorn.

• Ye Chen selected a Thousand-Year Light Unicorn for its pure Light Aura and strong bloodline.
• Yan Shaozhe used his Light Phoenix Martial Soul to knock the unicorn unconscious, and Ye Chen killed it with his Aurora Sword.
• As Ye Chen refined the pale purple Soul Ring, the Aurora Sword shone and a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon phantom appeared around it.
• The Soul Ring was stripped from the unicorn, changed from pale purple to gold, and circled Ye Chen’s body.
• Ye Chen sensed his first Soul Skill, Emperor’s Light Slash, which used Extreme Light and Emperor Aura and grew stronger against evil Aura.

• Ma Xiaotao teased Ye Chen, made him bathe, then held him on her lap and smelled his unusual fragrance.
• Ye Chen quietly left the house at dawn and went to walk beside Sea God Lake.
• Beibei confronted Ye Chen about his past betrayals, flicked his forehead, and asked which Martial Soul he had awakened.

• Ye Chen promised to protect Beibei at Shrek and proposed an Ototo Battle, but Beibei challenged him to fight and called him his younger brother.

• Mu En sent Ye Chen into the Golden Ancient Tree to comprehend his Martial Soul's light, where Ye Chen cultivated in deep meditation for thirty-three days and three hours.

• One year later, Ye Chen reached level twenty and told Mu En he had become a Soul Grandmaster.
• Mu En said Xuan Zi would accompany Ye Chen to obtain his second Soul Ring, and Xuan Zi insisted he would secure an exceptional one.

Ye Chen went with Xuan Zi to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his second Soul Ring, though he prepared defensive Soul Tools because he doubted Xuan Zi’s reliability.

Mu En and the Shrek powerhouses prepared to fight Di Tian after he rejected Mu En’s request for one day to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Mu En asked Di Tian to give Shrek one day before they left the Star Dou Great Forest, but Di Tian refused and challenged the gathered Shrek powerhouses.

• Ye Chen skinned the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, found its External Soul Bone, and stored it in his Storage Soul Tool.

Ye Chen reached the battlefield where Mu En and Di Tian were fighting, hoping to help Mu En and leave with the Shrek elders. The Silver Dragon King sensed a mysterious aura within Ye Chen and ordered Di Tian to bring him to her, leaving Ye Chen facing Di Tian’s attack.
