Chapter Summaries

An Ping prepared six tools to conceal the town after taking a mysterious chain, while the town’s influence continued to affect the visitors. He and Gu Yuena planned to finish their remaining business during the celebration and leave afterward.

• Lin Yuhan told An Ping and Gu Yuena that the group would stay for the celebration to investigate the town’s strange phenomenon.
• An Ping explained that his tools would create a barrier after the chain was removed, and that he had also made protective tools for Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan.
• An Ping buried six tools around town to prepare the barrier.
• An Ping and Gu Yuena found a finely patterned chain in the museum, and An Ping took it, causing the town’s influence to begin dissipating.
• An Ping and Gu Yuena returned to the hotel, where the Cadets from Star Luo Royal Academy and Shrek Academy seemed calmer than before.

An Ping reclaimed the key from Aya and activated an item that began absorbing the town’s conceptual energy, resolving the cause of the town’s abnormality. Aya learned she could leave town once its residents returned to normal, and An Ping brought her to the celebration.

• Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan worried that they were becoming like the townspeople, and An Ping assured them they would recover if they left town.
• Aya told An Ping that the key around her neck had begun moving, and An Ping realized it had reacted to his reclaiming the fine chain.
• An Ping promised Aya he would resolve the problem and told her the town’s residents would regain normal emotions.

• An Ping and Gu Yuena took Aya to the celebration site, where she was excited to experience their sudden travel firsthand.

Tang Wulin and Lin Yuhan investigated an unexplained change in the town and found a hidden device merging into the void. Tang San's Divine Sense warned that it might be connected to the town's abnormal changes, so Tang Wulin decided to alert the academies' leaders.

• Tang San's Divine Sense sensed the town change and told Tang Wulin to stop dancing and investigate.
• Tang Wulin and Lin Yuhan left the stage to search, and Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie followed them.
• Tang Wulin found something underground that seemed to be merging into the void, and stopped Xie Xie from digging it up.
• Tang San's Divine Sense said the object was probably not a divine artifact and warned that disturbing it could be dangerous.
• Tang Wulin decided to tell Elder Cai, while Lin Yuhan would inform the leaders of Star Luo Royal Academy.

After discovering that his cultivation had stalled because he no longer had a Martial Soul, An Ping asked Gu Yuena to create one for him. Her attempt to turn the Silver Dragon Spear into his Martial Soul triggered a transformation under the light of his Source of Magic Power.

• An Ping studied the key and learned that it could mark people for entry into the Library and guide the Library into the Reality World, but his cultivation had stalled for an unknown reason.
• Gu Yuena suggested that An Ping's cultivation had slowed because his Martial Soul had disappeared, and An Ping agreed that this was likely.
• Gu Yuena offered to create a new Martial Soul for An Ping and chose her Silver Dragon Spear as the most suitable option.
• Gu Yuena linked the Silver Dragon Spear to An Ping's Spiritual Power and Spirit Soul, establishing it in the place where his Martial Soul had once been.
• As An Ping prepared to summon his new Martial Soul, the Source of Magic Power shone pale white light on the spear, and its appearance began to change.

An Ping regained his Martial Soul as an ornate key that could mark people and let them enter his Library, while Gu Yuena recovered from the transformation. After fifteen days in seclusion, he went out to buy food for her and encountered someone who recognized him.

• An Ping's Spirit Soul Phoenix transformed into an ornate key, restoring his Martial Soul with its elemental affinity, devouring properties, and a new marking ability.
• Gu Yuena asked to enter An Ping's Library, but he told her to wait until she had recovered.
• An Ping learned that fifteen days had passed and that Tang Wulin had repeatedly come looking for him while Xiong Jun and Bi Ji kept visitors away.
• An Ping left to buy food for Gu Yuena and explored the busy Food Street in Star Luo City.
• Someone called out to An Ping as he waited for a stall owner to package his food.

An Ping dismissed Dai Yun'er and told Tang Wulin that his seclusion had been to stabilize his Martial Soul, not to digest any gains from Anxi Town. Tang San's Divine Sense judged him truthful and advised Tang Wulin not to compare their cultivation, while Dai Yun'er became curious about An Ping and planned to have Long Yue face him in the Soul Master Tournament.

• Dai Yun'er approached An Ping, criticized him, and grew angry when he ignored her.
• Tang Wulin caught up with An Ping and asked what he and Gu Yuena had obtained in Anxi Town.
• An Ping said he had gained nothing there and had secluded himself to restore his Martial Soul; Tang San's Divine Sense confirmed that his explanation seemed true.
• Tang San's Divine Sense told Tang Wulin that An Ping had likely advanced through steady cultivation and urged him to focus on his own path toward Godhood.
• Tang Wulin told Dai Yun'er that An Ping and Gu Yuena had defeated five Shrek Academy students, despite being the same age and already being Five-Ring Soul Kings.
• Dai Yun'er said she wanted to see their strength and planned to have Long Yue fight them during the Soul Master Tournament.

Tang Wulin told Dai Yun'er that An Ping and Gu Yuena were unlikely to join the Soul Master Tournament, since they had little reason to seek its Soul Bone prize. Dai Yun'er warned Emperor Dai Tianling that they might have a Limit Douluo with them, and he decided the empire could only inform the Tang Sect and wait.

• Tang Wulin explained that An Ping and Gu Yuena probably would not compete for a Soul Bone because they might have a Limit Douluo among their guards.
• Dai Yun'er teased Tang Wulin about An Ping, then heard about his conflict with An Ping and Gu Yuena aboard the ship.
• Dai Yun'er hurried to the Imperial Palace and told Dai Tianling that An Ping and Gu Yuena had traveled with several Titled Douluo, possibly including a Limit Douluo.
• Dai Tianling revealed that the Exchange Group had already reported the incident and said the empire could not stop a Limit Douluo.
• Dai Yun'er wondered whether An Ping and Gu Yuena had come for Dragon Valley, and Dai Tianling said he would notify the Tang Sect and wait.

Dai Yun'er persuaded Dai Tianling to consider recruiting An Ping and Gu Yuena for the All-Continent Young Soul Master Competition, while Tang Wulin learned that Shrek’s exchange activities would test the Cadets for the Shrek Seven Devils and Inner Court. Cai Yue'er named Tang Wulin captain as the six Cadets prepared for the competition.

• Dai Yun'er told Dai Tianling that An Ping and Gu Yuena had defeated four members of Shrek’s Exchange Group, and he agreed to discuss having them compete.
• Dai Yun'er explained that one of Shrek’s original seven Cadets had left the academy to join Sun Moon Academy, leaving the group with six.
• Tang Wulin returned to the group and reported that An Ping’s seclusion seemed related to his Martial Soul stabilizing, not to Anxi Town.
• Cai Yue'er announced that she had registered the six Cadets for every event in the Star Luo Empire’s All-Continent Young Soul Master Competition.
• Cai Yue'er revealed that the exchange activities would test the Cadets for entry into the Inner Court and selection as the new Shrek Seven Devils.
• Cai Yue'er proposed Tang Wulin as captain, and the Cadets agreed, though Wu Sido was somewhat reluctant.

An Ping advised Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan to focus on cultivating instead of making Battle Armor, then proposed forging them specialized equipment with greater growth potential. Yue Zhengyu chose a Holy Sword and provided his Rare Metals, while An Ping said he had already prepared materials for Xu Xiaoyan.

• An Ping returned to the hotel and found Gu Yuena chatting with Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan after she had recovered from using too much Spiritual Power.
• Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan asked An Ping for advice on making Battle Armor because they did not fit into Sun Moon Academy's existing groups.
• An Ping argued that Battle Armor was an external aid and that their Meditation Method could make them stronger without relying on equipment.
• An Ping offered to forge Yue Zhengyu a genuine Holy Sword with Battle Armor-like abilities and growth potential, and Yue Zhengyu chose the sword design.
• Yue Zhengyu handed An Ping the Rare Metals he had prepared, and Gu Yuena told Xu Xiaoyan that she would sponsor the materials for her share.

An Ping completed enhancement items for Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan, then encouraged them to study every match at the Star Luo Empire Soul Master Tournament. Meanwhile, Dai Tianling learned that An Ping and Gu Yuena were fifteen-year-old Soul Kings and asked Ling Hongchen to introduce them, leaving their participation in a friendly match up to them.

• An Ping finished Yue Zhengyu's Holy Sword and Xu Xiaoyan's starlight mirror, which could create a Starlight Shield.
• Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan won their first individual matches and joined An Ping and Gu Yuena in watching the tournament.
• An Ping advised Yue Zhengyu to study all contestants' Martial Soul abilities for ideas and preparation, and Yue Zhengyu began watching more carefully.
• Dai Tianling asked Ling Hongchen to arrange a friendly match between An Ping, Gu Yuena, and Monster Academy's students.
• Ling Hongchen explained that An Ping and Gu Yuena had graduated as fifteen-year-old Soul Kings, and Dai Tianling asked him to introduce them without pressuring them to accept a match.

An Ping and Gu Yuena agreed to meet Dai Tianling after Gu Yuena proposed challenging Star Luo Monster Academy’s Eight Heavenly Kings in a Betting Match for rare materials. While Dai Tianling delayed arranging the meeting, Shrek Academy narrowly defeated Sun Moon Academy in a team competition, with Tang Wulin carrying his team.

• Ling Hongchen told An Ping that Dai Tianling wanted to meet them, and An Ping initially asked him to decline the invitation.
• Gu Yuena asked Ling Hongchen to accept the invitation, then persuaded An Ping that they should challenge the Eight Heavenly Kings for rare materials using a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone as the stake.
• Dai Tianling postponed arranging their meeting while handling other affairs.
• Shrek Academy narrowly won its team competition against Sun Moon Academy, and Tang Wulin turned the match around while his other five teammates suffered serious injuries.

After Yue Zhengyu defeated three Shrek Academy students with the Holy Sword, Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong suspected that it granted Battle Armor-like enhancement and considered whether Sun Moon Academy had developed new technology. Tang Wulin proposed that the sword might be a divine artifact, but Cai Yue'er dismissed the idea and left with Wu Changkong to question Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan.

• Xu Xiaoyan lost to Su Mu, while Yue Zhengyu defeated Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie, and Ye Xinglan with the Holy Sword.
• Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong discussed the Holy Sword and Xu Xiaoyan's mirror, suspecting that both tools enhanced their users like Battle Armor.
• Cai Yue'er scolded the defeated students and asked Ye Xinglan what she had sensed from Yue Zhengyu's sword.
• Ye Xinglan said the Holy Sword greatly increased Yue Zhengyu's Soul Power, and Cai Yue'er said Sun Moon Academy might have made a breakthrough in Battle Armor technology.
• Tang Wulin suggested that the Holy Sword could be a legendary divine artifact, but Cai Yue'er rejected the theory because Xu Xiaoyan also had an enhancing mirror.
• Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong left to question Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan about their weapons.

Tang Wulin worried that Yue Zhengyu’s Holy Sword could threaten traditional Forging, while Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong questioned Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan about their weapons. They left without learning how the weapons were made, and An Ping’s group kept the technology’s secrets.

• Tang Wulin returned to his room after Xie Xie reassured him that he could defeat Yue Zhengyu.
• Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong visited An Ping’s group, saying they wanted to speak with Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan.
• Cai Yue'er took Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan to a private café room and asked whether their weapons amplified them like Battle Armor.
• Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan confirmed Cai Yue'er's guess but refused to explain where the technology came from.
• Cai Yue'er guessed that An Ping and Gu Yuena were behind the weapons and offered to buy the technology, but Yue Zhengyu said they knew nothing about it.

Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan refused to give Shrek Academy the technology behind their weapons, and An Ping rejected Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong's demand for it as well. Yue Zhengyu then learned he would face Tang Wulin, and the chapter ended as the two prepared to fight in the tournament.

• Yue Zhengyu told Wu Changkong that he and Xu Xiaoyan would not hand over An Ping and Gu Yuena's weapon-making technology, and they left with Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong's permission.
• Cai Yue'er and Wu Changkong returned to An Ping's residence, where An Ping refused to share the technology and sent them away; Cai Yue'er later admitted his demand had been excessive.
• Ling Hongchen told Yue Zhengyu that his next opponent was Tang Wulin, while Tang Wulin and Xie Xie learned of the matchup and Tang Wulin vowed to win for Shrek Academy.
• Tang Wulin's fifth seal had broken through, strengthening his Golden Dragon King bloodline power and boosting his confidence for the match.
• Yue Zhengyu and Tang Wulin entered the arena before a crowd that slightly favored Yue Zhengyu, and Yue Zhengyu declared that he would not lose to Tang Wulin again.

Tang Wulin faced Yue Zhengyu in a highly anticipated duel and discovered how much Yue Zhengyu’s evolved Angel Martial Soul had strengthened him. The chapter left Tang Wulin and Yue Zhengyu locked in close combat, with Yue Zhengyu unaffected by Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King Bloodline Power.

• Tang Wulin vowed not to lose for Shrek Academy, and the referee began the match.
• Yue Zhengyu revealed a second, illusory pair of wings, and Cai Yue'er said his Martial Soul might be evolving toward the legendary Six-winged Angel.
• Yue Zhengyu’s five black Soul Rings released overwhelming golden pressure, and he burned away Tang Wulin’s Blue Silver Grass.
• Tang Wulin charged with his Golden Dragon Claw, but Yue Zhengyu’s Holy Sword cut between his scales and his Soul Power began burning away Tang Wulin’s Soul Power.
• Tang Wulin transformed both hands into Golden Dragon Claws and covered his body in golden scales, but Yue Zhengyu remained unaffected by his Golden Dragon King Bloodline Power.

Tang Wulin lost to Yue Zhengyu after Yue revealed the Angel Domain, which suppressed Tang Wulin and trapped him in place. Tang San's Divine Sense reassured Tang Wulin that his Golden Dragon King Bloodline could eventually surpass the domain as more seals were broken.

• Yue Zhengyu wounded Tang Wulin and warned him to admit defeat, but Tang Wulin counterattacked with Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth.
• Yue Zhengyu unleashed the Angel Domain, weakening Tang Wulin, draining his Soul Power, and keeping him fixed at the arena's center.
• Cai Yue'er explained the domain's abilities to Wu Changkong and Xie Xie as Yue Zhengyu placed his sword at Tang Wulin's neck.
• Tang Wulin conceded, and Yue Zhengyu identified his technique as the Angel Domain before leaving the arena.
• En Ci recognized Yue Zhengyu's ability as a domain and speculated that it came innately from his Angel Martial Soul.
• Tang San's Divine Sense explained the Angel Domain and encouraged Tang Wulin by saying his sealed Golden Dragon King Bloodline could eventually surpass it.

After Yue Zhengyu defeated Tang Wulin, An Ping warned him not to give opponents time to prepare. At Dai Tianling’s banquet, Gu Yuena challenged Monster Academy’s Eight Heavenly Kings to a wager, offering a Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone if she and An Ping lost.

• Yue Zhengyu admitted that An Ping’s Meditation Method had helped his Martial Soul evolve, and An Ping criticized him for not using Angel Domain immediately against Tang Wulin.
• Ling Hongchen told An Ping and Gu Yuena that Dai Tianling was holding a banquet at the Imperial Palace, and they accepted the invitation.
• Dai Tianling asked An Ping and Gu Yuena to compete against Monster Academy, but An Ping initially declined and suggested inviting Shrek Academy instead.
• Dai Yun'er challenged Gu Yuena’s confidence, so Gu Yuena wagered rare materials against Monster Academy’s Eight Heavenly Kings and offered a Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone if she and An Ping lost.
• Gu Yuena opened the box to prove the Soul Bone was genuine, and its intense Soul Power filled the banquet hall.

Gu Yuena offered a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone as a wager against Dai Yun'er and the Monster Academy, while An Ping explained that Soul Bones were useless to him and Gu Yuena. After learning that An Ping and Gu Yuena were fifteen-year-old Soul Emperors, Dai Tianling agreed to accept the challenge.

• Gu Yuena revealed a Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone and challenged Dai Yun'er to wager rare materials against it, giving Dai Tianling time to discuss the offer.
• Gu Yuena told Xu Xiaoyan and Yue Zhengyu that their weapons had been made with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and An Ping advised them not to absorb Soul Bones.
• Dai Tianling asked En Ci about An Ping, Gu Yuena, and their guards, and En Ci said he could not see through them and sensed danger from Xiong Jun.
• Dai Yun'er revealed that An Ping and Gu Yuena were about fifteen, and Dai Tianling confirmed they had reached the Soul Emperor level.
• En Ci, Dai Yun'er, and Dai Tianling agreed to face An Ping and Gu Yuena in a challenge.

Gu Yuena confirmed that the Star Luo Empire had accepted her bet, and Dai Yun'er set the Exchange Tournament for the closing ceremony of the All-Continent Young Soul Master Competition. The chapter left the tournament three days away, with the stakes and risks clear to both sides.

• The Star Luo Empire accepted Gu Yuena's bet, hoping to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and assess An Ping and Gu Yuena's abilities.
• Dai Tianling and En Ci agreed to the bet because they wanted to secure Long Yue's future, prepare for potential Federation rivals, and possibly recruit An Ping and Gu Yuena.
• Dai Yun'er told Gu Yuena that gathering the promised rare materials would take time, so the Exchange Tournament would take place in three days during the competition's closing ceremony.
• Gu Yuena warned Dai Yun'er that losing at the closing ceremony could seriously damage Monster Academy's reputation.
• Dai Yun'er explained that Dai Tianling believed a victory would win the Soul Bone, while a defeat would reveal the empire's shortcomings and motivate Monster Academy's students.

Dai Yun'er and Gu Yuena agreed to hold the Exchange Tournament during the closing ceremony, where Monster Academy expected to face Shrek Academy in a team competition. Tang Wulin told the others he felt an unexplained pull toward Gu Yuena and suspected their bloodlines or Martial Souls might be compatible, but he was left believing a relationship between them was impossible.

• Dai Yun'er told Gu Yuena the Exchange Tournament would take place at the closing ceremony, and Gu Yuena agreed.
• Dai Yun'er teased Tang Wulin about staring at Gu Yuena, and he admitted he felt drawn to her.
• Tang Wulin told Xie Xie, Cai Yue'er, and Wu Changkong that he suspected he and Gu Yuena could have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, though Gu Yuena had repeatedly refused to try.
• Cai Yue'er questioned whether Tang Wulin's attraction came from Gu Yuena's beauty and said their ties to Sun Moon Academy and the Spirit Pagoda made a relationship impossible.
• Tang Wulin wondered whether their Dragon Clan bloodlines caused the attraction and held on to hope that his growing Bloodline Power might draw Gu Yuena closer.
