Chapter Summaries

Jiang Yuheng protected He Caitou from Zhang Moyu’s Nightmare ability, then learned the royal family wanted him handed over after Wang Shaojie’s legs were injured. Xuan Ziwen agreed to shelter Jiang Yuheng by sending him to test a new Soul Tool in the Jingyang Mountain Range, though Jiang Yuheng refused to let Ju Zi accompany him.

• Zhang Moyu used Nightmare on He Caitou, but Jiang Yuheng restored He Caitou’s composure and identified Zhang Moyu as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s first Vice Dean.
• Jiang Yuheng and He Caitou waited until Zhang Moyu’s lingering Soul Power disappeared before discussing Nightmare’s dangers and Jiang Yuheng’s ability to counter it.
• Xuan Ziwen told Jiang Yuheng that the royal family demanded he be handed over because Wang Shaojie could no longer walk normally, and Xuan Ziwen refused to surrender him.
• Jiang Yuheng proposed lying low outside the academy, and Xuan Ziwen arranged for him to test a new Soul Tool in the Jingyang Mountain Range.
• Jiang Yuheng refused Xuan Ziwen’s suggestion that Ju Zi guide him, and Xuan Ziwen urged him not to hold Ju Zi’s earlier behavior against her.

Jiang Yuheng traveled to the Jingyang Mountain Range to test Xuan Ziwen’s All-terrain Detection Soul Tool and search for rare metals. After locating deposits and settling in for the night, he encountered a Silver Moon Wolf drawn to his camp.

• Jiang Yuheng explained to Xuan Ziwen that Wang Dong’s Three Warnings, not his earlier quarrels, were why he avoided the girls.
• He Caitou offered to accompany Jiang Yuheng to the dangerous Jingyang Mountain Range, but Jiang Yuheng said he wanted to go alone for some peace and quiet.
• Jiang Yuheng left the academy early and flew to the mountain range using a familiar concealed route.
• Jiang Yuheng tested Xuan Ziwen’s All-terrain Detection Soul Tool, which quickly marked the rare-metal deposits in the mountains.
• Jiang Yuheng prepared a meal at his campsite, but a Silver Moon Wolf emerged from the nearby bushes.

Jiang Yuheng used his Frost Dragon to send a Silver Wolf away, then confronted Ju Zi and Keke, who had been hiding nearby. He recognized that Vice Hall Master Zhang had sent them to monitor his test and let them stay under strict conditions before returning to his tent.

• Jiang Yuheng used his Frost Dragon’s bloodline pressure to make the Silver Wolf leave and report that he posed no threat.
• Jiang Yuheng called out Ju Zi and Keke, then threatened to freeze them until Keke emerged from the grass.
• Ju Zi explained that she and Keke had come to observe Jiang Yuheng’s strength because Teacher Xuan asked them to cooperate with his test.
• Jiang Yuheng deduced that Vice Hall Master Zhang had ordered them to monitor him and warned them not to approach or interfere with his testing.
• Jiang Yuheng returned to his tent while Ju Zi set up camp and Keke complained about him inside their soundproof tent.

Ju Zi and Keke tried to make Jiang Yuheng struggle with the All-terrain Soul Tool Detector, but he operated it smoothly after only a brief examination. Ju Zi recognized his exceptional talent as they continued testing the machine in the Jingyang Mountain Range.

• Ju Zi decided she and Keke should endure Jiang Yuheng's provocation because a direct clash could draw Silver Moon Wolf soul beasts.
• Ju Zi and Keke offered to help Jiang Yuheng test the All-terrain Soul Tool Detector, and Keke took the controls to demonstrate its operation.
• Ju Zi invited Jiang Yuheng to operate the detector without teaching him, hoping to expose his inexperience.
• Jiang Yuheng controlled the detector steadily, showing that his Soul Power and Soul Engineer experience let him master it quickly.
• Ju Zi called Jiang Yuheng a versatile genius, while Keke remained doubtful about how quickly he had learned to operate the Soul Tool.

After completing the All-terrain Detection Soul Tool tests, Jiang Yuheng returned to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and presented Xuan Ziwen with his report and controversial ideas. As he left Xuan Ziwen’s office, the Royal Investigation Team confronted him over an alleged assault on an Imperial Family Member.

• Ju Zi and Keke noticed that no Silver Wolves had interfered with the tests and suspected Jiang Yuheng had kept them away.
• Jiang Yuheng completed the test report, and Ju Zi praised its clarity before he returned to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Xuan Ziwen praised Jiang Yuheng’s improvements, then warned him about the consequences of the ideas on the report’s final page.
• Jiang Yuheng concluded that Xuan Ziwen opposed the current imperial family and could be won over.
• Wang Shaojie and six uniformed men confronted Jiang Yuheng, and the Royal Investigation Team accused him of assaulting an Imperial Family Member and moved to arrest him.

Jiang Yuheng challenged the Royal Investigation Team’s authority as its members tried to arrest him for striking Wang Shaojie, then fought back when they attacked. Captain Xu Mochen revealed his six-ring Sun Martial Soul and personally moved to capture Jiang Yuheng, leaving their confrontation about to begin.

• Jiang Yuheng objected that the Royal Investigation Team lacked the required warrant, but its members restrained him with Soul Tool handcuffs and Wang Shaojie punched him.
• Jiang Yuheng broke free and struck Wang Shaojie, knocking out two teeth, before the team’s Soul Emperors suppressed him and Wang Shaojie’s cousin urged him to leave.
• Jiang Yuheng argued that surveillance footage would show Wang Shaojie attacked first and that the team lacked authority to arrest an Exchange Student, but a Soul King attacked him.
• Jiang Yuheng revealed three Spirit Rings and unleashed an Extreme Cold Storm, overwhelming the team’s fighters.
• Xu Mochen identified himself as the Royal Investigation Team’s captain, praised Jiang Yuheng, and released his six-ring Sun Martial Soul to capture him.

The Royal Investigation Team moved to arrest Jiang Yuheng, prompting Lin Jiayi, Jing Hongchen, and Ju Zi to launch efforts to protect him. As Jiang Yuheng fought Xu Mochen, his ice unexpectedly resisted Xu’s Sun Martial Soul, and Xu sensed a seemingly impossible Light Attribute as well.

• A Royal Investigation Team member ordered Jiang Yuheng taken for questioning, and Lin Jiayi set out to ask Jing Hongchen for help.
• Ju Zi learned that the team was arresting Jiang Yuheng and hurried to the Crown Prince, urging him to intervene against the Third Prince’s faction.
• Lin Jiayi told Jing Hongchen that Jiang Yuheng was accused of attacking a member of the Imperial Family, while surveillance proved Wang Shaojie and his companions attacked first.
• Jing Hongchen ordered Lin Jiayi to retrieve the recordings and left to confront the Royal Investigation Team, seeing the incident as a chance to tighten security at Mingde Hall.
• The Crown Prince agreed to help Jiang Yuheng and went with Ju Zi to deal with the Royal Investigation Team.
• Xu Mochen’s Sun Martial Soul failed to overcome Jiang Yuheng’s ice, and Xu suffered two nearly fatal wounds while sensing Light Attribute energy in Jiang’s Martial Soul.

Jiang Yuheng let himself be wounded in a clash with Xu Mochen’s Royal Investigation Team, giving Jing Hongchen grounds to intervene and use the Sun Moon Emperor’s token to force the team to answer for its violence. After Xu Mochen left, Jiang Yuheng revealed that his real aim had been to help Jing Hongchen purge the Third Prince’s informants and asked to enter Mingde Hall sooner.

• Xu Mochen ordered two Soul Kings to attack Jiang Yuheng with Level Six Soul Tool Piercing Rays, and Jiang Yuheng deliberately took the hits as Jing Hongchen arrived.
• Jing Hongchen killed the two Soul Kings who had attacked Jiang Yuheng and treated his injuries while Jiang Yuheng condemned the Royal Investigation Team’s conduct.
• Jing Hongchen showed Xu Mochen the As If I Am Personally Present Token, forcing him to kneel and acknowledge the Emperor’s authority.
• Xu Mochen killed the remaining Royal Investigation Team members and left after Jing Hongchen refused to accept the killings as a proper resolution.
• Jiang Yuheng explained that the incident had helped Jing Hongchen clear out the Third Prince’s informants, then asked Jing Hongchen to move up his entry into Mingde Hall.

After Jiang Yuheng returned to the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran and Vice Hall Master Zhang debated whether to eliminate him and reclaim his Engraving Knife. A week later, Jing Hongchen brought Jiang to Mingde Hall’s laboratory, where Du Busi and Huo Yuhao arrived to help deal with the unstable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.

• After Jiang Yuheng left, Xu Tianran, Ju Zi, and Vice Hall Master Zhang emerged, and Zhang asked permission to kill him.
• Xu Tianran rebuked Zhang for seeking revenge and explained Jiang’s connection to Flawless, the Old Gentleman, and the Frost Dragon Butterfly.
• Zhang argued that Jiang’s return was their chance to act before he became a threat to the Sun Moon Empire.
• A week later, Jing Hongchen arranged for Jiang Yuheng to enter Mingde Hall and continue studying under Xuan Ziwen.
• Jiang Yuheng and Jing Hongchen waited in a Mingde Hall laboratory beside the unstable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.
• Du Busi and Huo Yuhao arrived, and Jing Hongchen reacted by taking an attack stance.

Jiang Yuheng and Huo Yuhao discussed the situation at their respective academies, and Huo Yuhao passed along Wang Dong’s message. Meanwhile, Jing Hongchen and Du Busi arranged an attack on Mingde Hall for the Sun Moon Empire’s ancestral worship ceremony.

• Du Busi joined Jiang Yuheng and Jing Hongchen to discuss their plan, while Huo Yuhao reported that matters at Shrek Academy and the Body Sect were proceeding steadily.
• Jiang Yuheng explained that the Sun Moon Empire’s economic crisis was fueling hostility toward him as an Exchange Student.
• Huo Yuhao told Jiang Yuheng that Wang Dong had reached Level 47 but had trouble involving a beautiful Exchange Student, prompting Jiang Yuheng to suspect Meng Hongchen.
• Huo Yuhao delivered Wang Dong’s message, and Jiang Yuheng kicked him after realizing Huo Yuhao had added his own punch to it.
• Jing Hongchen and Du Busi scheduled their attack on Mingde Hall for the ancestral worship ceremony, when Jing Hongchen planned to leave Vice Hall Master Zhang in charge.

Jiang Yuheng and Huo Yuhao infiltrated Mingde Hall, seized its giant robot prototype, and freed the Snow Empress by shattering the Platform of Deification. The Snow Empress emerged furious and out of control, leaving Jiang Yuheng and the others trying to calm her before the Body Sect’s attack put them in danger.

• Jiang Yuheng reminded Du Busi to bring Huo Yuhao to the planned attack on Mingde Hall, then later entered the hall with Huo Yuhao under cover of the Body Sect’s bombings.

• Jiang Yuheng asked the Ice Empress to calm the Snow Empress, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged them to leave before the Body Sect’s forces were overwhelmed.

Jiang Yuheng and Elder Yi stabilized the Snow Empress and placed her in Jiang Yuheng’s Sea of Consciousness, where the Ice Empress asked him to make her a Soul Spirit. Jiang Yuheng proposed dividing and sealing her unstable origin power in three parts, and they began the process.

• Jiang Yuheng, Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helped Elder Yi stabilize the Snow Empress and place her in Jiang Yuheng’s Sea of Consciousness.
• Elder Yi said the Snow Empress needed to sleep, and the Ice Empress entered Jiang Yuheng’s Sea of Consciousness to speak with her.

• Jiang Yuheng met the Snow Empress and explained that Electrolux had created the Soul Spirit method with his help.
• Jiang Yuheng proposed dividing the Snow Empress’s origin power into three sealed portions, and Electrolux manifested to begin the process.

Huo Yuhao and the Body Sect escaped Mingde Hall after Jiang Yuheng finished his work and confirmed the Snow Empress was safe. The raid’s losses spread across the continents, while Vice Hall Master Zhang was stripped of his position but spared by the Crown Prince.

• Du Busi warned Huo Yuhao and Jiang Yuheng that reinforcements were closing in and heavy weapons were about to be used.
• Jiang Yuheng said the Snow Empress was safe but exhausted, and Huo Yuhao, Du Busi, and the others left Mingde Hall with the Body Sect.
• Vice Hall Master Zhang discovered the destruction of the experimental building and learned that Experimental Subject Number One had been taken, then ordered a secret bounty against the Body Sect.
• A report claimed Jiang Yuheng had been knocked unconscious, but Vice Hall Master Zhang rejected the claim and suspected a mole inside Mingde Hall.
• Three days later, news of the raid spread; the Sun Moon Emperor collapsed, and the Crown Prince stripped Zhang of his title and privileges but spared his life.

After recovering from the explosion, Jiang Yuheng faced an interrogation at Mingde Hall over the attack and resisted a search of his belongings. Xu Tianran intervened, killed the interrogating teacher, and promised Jiang Yuheng justice after the investigation.

• The doctor cleared Jiang Yuheng to leave the infirmary but said the Academic Affairs Office would investigate students present at Mingde Hall.
• A Mingde Hall teacher questioned Jiang Yuheng about his movements on the day of the explosion and accused him of colluding with the Body Sect.

After recovering from the attack, Jiang Yuheng received Xu Tianran's offer and a warning from Ju Zi about an upcoming academy sparring competition. He returned to his dormitory, where He Caitou and Fan Yu visited and asked about the attack.

• Xu Tianran visited Jiang Yuheng in the hospital, offered compensation, and left a note hidden in a fruit basket through Ju Zi.

• He Caitou told Jiang Yuheng that the challenge offered three kilograms of Rare Metal per win and that defeating him could earn a student admission to Mingde Hall.

Jiang Yuheng won ten consecutive sparring matches and collected a huge amount of Rare Metal, then discussed how to smuggle it out of the Sun Moon Empire with He Caitou. When Nana confronted him about the soul he removed from her Vengeful Spirit, Wang Dong arrived and caught them in a compromising moment.

• Jing Hongchen silenced the arena crowd and urged the students to use their losses as motivation, after which Jiang Yuheng won eight more matches without revealing his full strength.
• Jiang Yuheng defeated Nana by freezing her and discovered that she had a Vengeful Spirit, then sent her unconscious to the School Hospital.

• He Caitou secretly wrote to a powerful friend, and three days later Jiang Yuheng worried over the enormous amount of Rare Metal he had won.
• Nana confronted Jiang Yuheng and demanded the return of the soul he had taken from her Vengeful Spirit, then began removing her shirt before Wang Dong appeared at the doorway and angrily challenged him.

• Wang Dong interrupted Jiang Yuheng and Nana, sent Nana out, and accused Jiang Yuheng of fooling around.
• Jiang Yuheng explained that he had invited Nana to help transport the Rare Metal, then knelt on a washboard and reassured Wang Dong.
