Chapter Summaries

Tang San endured Zhilin's escalating Soul Power pressure without releasing his Martial Soul until it reached around level 40, when his Blue Silver Grass emerged and redirected the force. Zhilin continued increasing the pressure to discover Tang San's limit, while Tang San realized his Martial Soul had abilities he did not yet understand.

• Zhilin increased his Soul Power pressure as Tang San resisted without releasing his Martial Soul, astonishing the three Spirit Douluo.
• Flender and the others watched anxiously, while Yu Xiaogang remained calm because he understood Tang San's resilience.
• When Zhilin's pressure reached around level 40, Tang San struggled to breathe and released his Blue Silver Grass in a cage around himself.
• Tang San's swaying Blue Silver Grass weakened and redirected Zhilin's pressure, bringing Tang San relief and revealing an unfamiliar ability of his Martial Soul.
• Zhilin increased the pressure even faster, determined to discover how far Tang San could endure.

Under Zhilin Spirit Douluo’s pressure, Tang San reached his limit and fused with his External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances. Yu Xiaogang explained the breakthrough to Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s elders, who promised to keep Tang San’s secret, while Tang San continued enduring the heat of his transformation.

• Zhilin Spirit Douluo increased the pressure until Tang San’s meridians neared collapse and his body reached its limit.
• Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill slowed after a meridian shattered, and the pressure burst away as the Eight Spider Lances emerged.
• Yu Xiaogang told Zhilin Spirit Douluo that the pressure had helped Tang San fuse with his External Soul Bone.
• The three Spirit Douluo and Qin Ming recognized the Eight Spider Lances as an External Soul Bone, and the elders vowed to keep it secret.
• Tang San continued absorbing the heat within his body as his Mysterious Heaven Skill grew more condensed and struck at other meridians.

Flender and Meng Shenji agreed that Heaven Dou Royal Academy would provide the Shrek students with excellent cultivation conditions. Tang San recovered from his breakthrough, discovered his Soul Power had reached level 34 and his physical strength had surpassed the level 40 threshold, and the academy leaders discussed Shrek’s prospects in the National Elite Spirit Master Tournament.

• Flender explained that he had brought the Shrek students to Heaven Dou Royal Academy so their talents could flourish, and Meng Shenji promised them the academy’s best resources.
• Tang San recovered, retracted his Eight Spider Lances, and discovered that opening a meridian had raised his Soul Power to level 34 and greatly improved his physical attributes.
• Meng Shenji and Flender settled the arrangements for Shrek’s students, and Qin Ming led the group away from the Education Committee.
• Bai Baoshan compared Shrek’s students with the monsters of World Creation Mountain Academy, while Meng Shenji hoped Shrek could surprise them at the National Elite Spirit Master Tournament.

Lin Du organized a selection at World Creation Mountain Academy to complete the Seven Saints of World Creation Mountain for the National Soul Master Elite Competition. The battle arena test began, while the Support Soul Masters waited to compete for the substitute position through their support and healing abilities.

• Meng Shenji announced that Shrek Academy had joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy and that the Shrek Seven Devils would remain unchanged.
• Lin Du learned of the merger and planned an academy assessment to recruit the remaining members of his team.
• World Creation Mountain Academy students trained for a month before candidates under twenty with Soul Elder-level Soul Power entered the selection.

• Dugu Bo questioned Lin Du's chaotic selection method, and Lin Du compared it to Gu Refining.
• Lin Du told Ning Rongrong that Support Soul Masters would later compete by demonstrating their support or healing abilities.

As the hundred-person arena assessment narrowed down the candidates for the Seven Saints of World Creation Mountain, Lin Du discussed Yan Shuangshuang’s strength and singled out the battered Mu Feng as a future Holy God. The chapter left Dugu Bo questioning Lin Du’s confidence in Mu Feng, while Lin Du believed Mu Feng’s endurance, wolf-like senses, and resilience outweighed his low Soul Power.

• Lin Du and Dugu Bo watched Yan Shuangshuang fight through the arena, and Lin Du explained that Liu Erlong’s fifteen-year-old disciple had reached Soul Power Level 38.
• Dugu Bo asked Lin Du which other students he considered promising, and Lin Du pointed to the wounded Mu Feng on the middle arena.
• Dugu Bo questioned Lin Du’s choice because Mu Feng was seventeen, had only just become a Soul Elder, and faced stronger students.
• Lin Du declared that Mu Feng could become one of the Seven Holy Gods, citing his endurance, determination, and Mutated Martial Soul, the Ice Flame Green Wolf.
• Lin Du suggested Mu Feng had trained his sense of smell to compensate for his missing eye and said his low Soul Power was a weakness he could address.

Lin Du completed World Creation Mountain Academy’s roster by selecting three arena champions and three substitutes, including the defensive specialist Aron. With the team assembled, the academy began preparing targeted training for its new members.

• Mu Feng defeated his final opponent in the hundred-man melee, collapsed from his injuries, and earned Lin Du’s approval.
• Ye Lingling healed Mu Feng, who woke, recognized her, and learned that he was a future teammate.
• Yan Shuangshuang won her arena with little difficulty, while Aron used his Armored Dragon Turtle Martial Soul’s defense and damage reflection to claim the third main roster spot.

• The final two substitutes emerged, completing the roster, and World Creation Mountain Academy arranged targeted training for the team.

Dai Mubai reached Level 40, so Flender led the Shrek Seven Devils and their teachers to Sunset Forest to hunt a Fourth Spirit Ring. The students were tasked with completing the hunt themselves as the first stage of their graduation examination, and Tang San took charge of their preparations and strategy.

• Ma Hongjun reached Level 30, obtained his Third Spirit Ring, and gained a flying Soul Skill.
• Dai Mubai broke through to Level 40, prompting Flender to take the group to Sunset Forest for his Fourth Spirit Ring.
• Flender announced that the students must hunt a suitable Spirit Beast without the teachers intervening, making the trip the first stage of their graduation examination.
• Tang San explained the risks of choosing a Spirit Ring's age and proposed defeating suitable Spirit Beasts before checking their age and releasing any that were unsuitable.
• Tang San assigned the students their roles, told Oscar to prepare sausages and use the Flying Sky Divine Claws carefully, and took command of the hunt.

The Shrek Seven Devils entered Sunset Forest to find Dai Mubai a suitable fourth Spirit Ring. They camped for the night, and Dai Mubai began the first watch while Tang San prepared to take over later.

• Yu Xiaogang refused Flender’s request to become Tang San’s teacher as well, and the two discussed the Shrek children’s future before focusing on Dai Mubai’s fourth Spirit Ring.
• The group searched Sunset Forest for half a day but found no suitable Spirit Beasts, so Flender called them to rest until morning.
• The Shrek Seven Devils and their teachers set up two tents, while Tang San and Cang Fei patrolled the area and Tang San marked the camp with protective medicinal powders.
• Tang San questioned the campfire, and Flender explained that Sunset Forest was safer than Star Dou Great Forest and that a fire and hot soup would help everyone rest in the cold.
• After dinner, Dai Mubai took the first watch, and Tang San was scheduled to relieve him in the latter half of the night.

Tang San and the Shrek group entered Sunset Forest to search for Spirit Beasts, but a sudden pink poisonous fog surrounded them. Tang San identified the attackers as a colony of more than a thousand Pink Lady, and Yu Xiaogang explained how unusual their numbers and assault were.

• Tang San kept watch through the night, then cultivated his Purple Demon Eye at dawn as the group prepared to leave camp.
• Tang San gave everyone Miasma Removal Pills before Flender led the group deeper into Sunset Forest.
• A gust turned the morning mist pink, and Flender and Qin Ming tried to disperse the poisonous fog.
• Tang San realized the fog was not ordinary miasma, warned the group about Spirit Beasts, and spread his Blue Silver Grass to detect them.
• Tang San used his Purple Demon Eye to identify more than a thousand Pink Lady outside the fog.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that Pink Lady usually live in small colonies and rarely attack humans, making the massive swarm alarming.

Yu Xiaogang explained that a Pink Lady Queen was poisoning the group with an immense colony of Pink Ladies, so Tang San led the Shrek Seven Devils and Qin Ming into a coordinated escape and counterattack. Tang San’s team broke through the poisonous fog, but the Pink Ladies still surrounded them.

• Yu Xiaogang identified a Pink Lady Queen as the source of the dangerous poison fog and explained how it could kill powerful Soul Masters.
• Flender said he and Yu Xiaogang would not fight, but Qin Ming would assist the Shrek Seven Devils because his Blazing Fire Wolf Martial Soul countered poison.
• Tang San planned to break through the colony and draw out the Pink Lady Queen, assigning Qin Ming to strike when it appeared.
• Tang San led the group into the fog while Cang Fei scouted from above, but the moving Pink Ladies kept the team trapped in their encirclement.
• Tang San used Oscar’s Python Sausages and Blue Silver Grass to guide everyone at speed through the poison fog, and the group emerged into clear surroundings.

The Shrek group fought the Pink Lady Queen, and Qin Ming displayed the destructive power of his sixth soul skill. After two days without finding a suitable Spirit Beast for Dai Mubai, Tang San proposed using a medicine to attract one, and Flender agreed to try it.

• Tang San ordered the Shrek Seven Devils to counterattack the Pink Scorpions, and Ma Hongjun burned many of them with Phoenix Fire Line.
• The Pink Lady Queen attacked Ma Hongjun with poisonous mist, and Qin Ming charged in and killed it with his sixth soul skill, Blazing Heaven Flame.
• Qin Ming scorched everything within a hundred meters, impressing Ma Hongjun and showing the group the strength of a Spirit Emperor.
• The group searched Sunset Forest for two more days but found no Spirit Beast whose attributes Yu Xiaogang considered suitable for Dai Mubai.
• Tang San revealed that he had medicine to attract Spirit Beasts, and Flender approved using it despite the risks.

Tang San’s group lured a Holy Light Platinum Tiger into their poison formation, and Yu Xiaogang identified it as an ideal Spirit Beast for Dai Mubai’s fourth soul ring. The Shrek Seven Devils attacked to capture it, with Flender and Qin Ming ready to intervene.

• Tang San finished setting up a poison formation to keep weaker Spirit Beasts away and draw in suitable targets.
• A Holy Light Platinum Tiger charged from the forest, and Tang San attacked it with Spider Web Restraint.
• The tiger dissolved Tang San’s web with golden Light Spheres, then blocked Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Blazing Light Wave before Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu helped dispel its attack.
• Yu Xiaogang identified the tiger as an ideal match for Dai Mubai and urged the group to capture it.
• Dai Mubai charged with White Tiger Vajra Transformation, wounded the tiger’s neck, and drew its golden Light Spheres onto himself.

The Shrek Seven Devils defeated the Holy Light Platinum Tiger, but Tang San’s medicinal powder attracted a growing swarm of Spirit Beasts and forced the group to flee deeper into Sunset Forest. They reached a strange pair of towering peaks, and Tang San insisted they head straight toward them rather than go around.

• Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San worked together to weaken the Holy Light Platinum Tiger, and Dai Mubai killed it while Ma Hongjun absorbed its flames.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San about the medicinal powder as Flender and Qin Ming fought off seven Spirit Beasts that had arrived in the clearing.
• Tang San said the powder could not be dispelled and led the group deeper into the forest with the tiger’s corpse, while Flender and Qin Ming held back the beasts.
• Flender caught up and warned that the powder had drawn a small Beast Tide, so the group hurried onward as the ground trembled behind them.
• The group reached two towering peaks that looked like an Ice Mountain and a volcano, and Tang San stopped Flender from going around them, telling everyone to continue straight ahead.

Tang San used a field of Azure Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers to repel the Spirit Beast horde and led Flender to investigate the strange mountain hollow. The red-and-white hot springs below filled Tang San with excitement as he recognized the possibility of a valuable discovery.

• Tang San convinced Flender and Yu Xiaogang to fly toward the Azure Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers, explaining that the flowers could stop the pursuing Spirit Beasts.
• Tang San protected the group with Blue Silver Grass, and the Spirit Beast horde halted before the poisonous field and scattered.
• Tang San assigned Dai Mubai to absorb a Spirit Ring while Ma Hongjun and Cang Fei surveyed the area from the air.
• Flender carried Tang San above the poisonous clouds, where Tang San spotted a sunken basin and suspected it held something valuable.
• Flender and Tang San reached the basin and saw adjacent red and white hot springs, leaving Tang San overwhelmed with excitement.

Tang San recognized the valley’s divided red-and-white spring as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, a legendary place that nurtured rare plants and could benefit certain Spirit Masters. He sent Flender to bring Yu Xiaogang and the others, then discovered Snow Silkworms growing beside the spring.

• Tang San broke free of Flender and used his Eight Spider Lances to descend the cliff ahead of him.
• Tang San identified the red-and-white spring as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, one of the Three Great Treasure Basins described in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
• Tang San explained that the spring’s spiritual energy could nurture rare plants and benefit Spirit Masters with certain attributes, while endangering others.
• Tang San asked Flender to bring Yu Xiaogang and the others to the valley, and Flender flew back to fetch them.
• Tang San activated the Purple Demon Eye and examined the plants surrounding the spring.
• Tang San recognized a clump of Snow Silkworms near the milky-white spring and was shocked by the discovery.

Tang San discovered rare medicinal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and persuaded Shrek to harvest them for their benefits. The Shrek Seven Devils began consuming the herbs to improve their strength and address Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire.

• Tang San identified an enormous Snow Silkworm, Cinnabar Lotuses, and many other rare herbs, some of which had already been harvested.
• Tang San reviewed his medicinal knowledge while Flender led the Shrek group into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
• Tang San explained that Snow Silkworm could raise Soul Power and that Cinnabar Lotus could suppress Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire.
• Ma Hongjun rushed toward the Cinnabar Lotuses, and Flender approved harvesting the herbs despite Qin Ming’s concern that the place might have an owner.
• Tang San harvested the Snow Silkworm and Cinnabar Lotuses, explained how to consume them, and swallowed a Snow Silkworm himself.

After the group gained several levels from the Snow Silkworm and Cinnabar Lotus, Tang San stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to refine a deadly Hidden Weapon from poisonous herbs. He completed three tiny poisoned needles and claimed they could kill a Title Douluo, though Flender doubted they could penetrate one’s defenses.

• Tang San and the others swallowed the Snow Silkworm and Cinnabar Lotus, raising their Soul Power by several levels.
• While the group stayed near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Tang San began refining poison in a copper cauldron heated by the Yang Spring.
• Flender found Tang San silently watching purple smoke rise from the sealed cauldron and waited beside him.
• Tang San added medicinal ingredients with Blue Silver Grass, which withered from the cauldron’s poison, as the smoke changed color and eventually returned inside.
• Tang San opened the cooled cauldron and revealed three small black needles, then declared they could kill a Title Douluo.
• Flender questioned the claim, pointing out that a Title Douluo’s Soul Power defenses could stop the needles from penetrating.

Tang San explained the deadly King of Hell's Post to Flender and gave him a pair of hidden weapons called Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life Taking Galls. He demonstrated their power, leaving Flender to see the black filaments pierce a distant mountain wall.

• Tang San explained that the King of Hell's Post was made from poisonous herbs and could kill anyone it pierced, though firing it required Soul Power at level 40.
• Tang San offered Flender two black iron balls and warned that they could save his life if handled carefully.
• Flender took the iron balls but nearly squeezed one before Tang San stopped him.
• Tang San identified the pair as Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life Taking Galls and explained that impact would release their power.
• Tang San launched the iron balls with the Meteor Chasing Moon Technique, causing a cloud of Purple Mist and black filaments to strike the mountain wall.

Tang San demonstrated the power of his Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life Taking Galls, then harvested herbs and spring water before leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye with Flender and the others. Back at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Shrek Seven Devils learned that the teams would be split up to form two seed teams for the National Soul Master Elite Competition.

• Tang San explained how the Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life Taking Galls used paralyzing poison and Bone Melting Divine Needles, and Flender saw their damage to the mountain wall.
• Tang San gave Flender two of the weapons and agreed to leave after collecting herbs and spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
• Tang San harvested the mature herbs, and the group left Sunset Forest after helping Cang Fei obtain a speed-boosting Soul Skill from a thousand-year Gale Bird.
• The Shrek Seven Devils returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and went with Flender and Yu Xiaogang to meet the Education Committee.
• The Education Committee announced that the Shrek Seven Devils and Imperial Dou Team would be divided by strength into two seed teams for the National Soul Master Elite Competition.

Yu Xiaogang persuaded Bibi Dong to make Xue Ye rescind the order to reorganize the Shrek Seven Devils and Imperial Dou Team, leaving both teams intact. A month later, Dugu Bo rushed to Lin Du for help after a thief stripped the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye of its rare herbs.

• Yu Xiaogang offered to make the Shrek Seven Devils the second seed, then promised Meng Shenji he would convince Xue Ye to cancel the reorganization order.
• Yu Xiaogang sought Bibi Dong's help, and she used threats and inducements to make Xue Ye change his decision.
• Xue Qinghe learned what Bibi Dong had done and sent the intelligence to Lin Du, who preserved it as evidence against her.
• The Shrek Seven Devils and Imperial Dou Team remained intact, and the Shrek Seven Devils trained harder for the National Soul Master Elite Competition.
• Dugu Bo stormed into Lin Du's office and asked him to find the thief who had taken the rare herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
