• Huo Yuhao greeted Lin Xiao and spoke with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who sensed an unfamiliar aura resembling the Ice Empress's but mixed with darkness.
• Lin Xiao asked the Ice Empress about Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul, but she could not identify it, and Lin Xiao decided not to dwell on the mystery.

Huo Yuhao returned to Shrek Academy while Lin Xiao met the Auspicious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. Beast God Di Tian proposed that Xiao Linger stay with Lin Xiao, leaving Lin Xiao stunned after learning the decision was inspired by two Soul Beasts who had become gods.

• Huo Yuhao headed back to Shrek Academy and wondered whether his Martial Soul could still evolve into Extreme Ice without the Ice Empress.

Lin Xiao reached Soul Elder and received the Scarlet King's Beast Fire after promising to protect the Auspicious Beast. With Di Tian and the Scarlet King standing guard, he began refining the fire, leaving Xiao Linger unable to see what he was doing.

• Lin Xiao began refining the Beast Fire with his Bone Spirit Fire Martial Soul as Di Tian and the Scarlet King stood guard.
• Di Tian recognized a faint red-and-blue glow that showed Lin Xiao had the flame under control, while Xiao Linger approached and Di Tian sent her away.

Lin Xiao refined the Scarlet King's beast fire and combined it with his martial-soul flame, then tested a self-created Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus. Di Tian confirmed that the attack reached Soul Emperor level, and Lin Xiao considered how to make it stronger despite its enormous cost.

• Xiao Linger left with the Ice Empress while Di Tian and the Scarlet King praised Lin Xiao's potential.
• After enduring three days of burning, Lin Xiao finished refining the Scarlet King's beast fire, advancing the Flame Mantra to Intermediate Yellow rank.
• Lin Xiao demonstrated that he could wield the beast fire and his martial-soul flame separately or merge them, and he explained that the beast fire had not weakened.
• Lin Xiao fused the two flames into a Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus and launched it at Di Tian, who blocked the explosion and judged its power to be at Soul Emperor level.
• Lin Xiao noted that the attack exhausted his Dou Qi and soul power, while Di Tian suggested combining the flames with a soul skill.

Lin Xiao left with Xiao Linger after strengthening his Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, but Zhang Lexuan confronted him on the way and revealed that she had investigated her family's destruction. Lin Xiao urged her to uncover the truth herself and continued on, warning Xiao Linger to avoid Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

• Lin Xiao told Di Tian that more beast fire could strengthen his Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, then left with Xiao Linger and the Ice Empress.

• Lin Xiao brought Xiao Linger to the Body Sect, where Du Busi agreed to let her join despite her Golden Dragon martial soul.
• Lin Xiao demonstrated Berserk Darkness, which increased his attack, defense, and speed by seventy percent for three minutes without side effects.

• Du Busi took Lin Xiao’s medicinal pill and secluded himself to break through, while Lin Xiao cultivated and Xiao Linger settled into life in his house.

• Lin Xiao proposed that the Body Sect develop Soul Tools, but Du Busi and the Elders initially dismissed them as unnecessary.
• Lin Xiao warned that the Sun Moon Empire’s area-bombarding Soul Tools could destroy the Body Sect and that future Level 10 Soul Tools could pose an even greater threat.

Lin Xiao persuaded Du Busi and the Body Sect elders to consider developing soul tools, then warned Du Busi against rushing into a confrontation with the dying Mu En. Du Busi traveled to Shrek alone and openly taunted Mu En, promising that the Body Sect would hold a banquet when he died.

• Lin Xiao argued that the Body Sect should develop soul tools, and Long Aotian and the elders agreed that Du Busi should inspect them firsthand.
• Du Busi decided to visit Shrek, but Lin Xiao warned that Mu En could still destroy the Body Sect if provoked and said he would not go along.

• Du Busi mocked Mu En's failing health and rejected Yan Shaozhe's warning, while Mu En asked why he had come.
• Du Busi claimed he had come to beat up Xuan Zi and offered to explain only after beating him again, while Mu En held back to avoid bringing Shrek under attack.

Du Busi tested Mu En’s declining strength, insulted Shrek, and noticed Huo Yuhao’s Body Martial Soul before leaving for the Sun Moon Empire. At the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En revealed that he had only a few years left and urged Shrek’s Elders, especially Xuan Zi, to cultivate and prepare to protect the academy.

• Mu En endured Du Busi’s provocations, and Du Busi concluded that Mu En had little time left to live.
• Du Busi refused Mu En’s invitation to visit Shrek, disparaged the academy, and spotted Huo Yuhao’s Body Martial Soul.

• Mu En told Zhuang Yusen to bring Zhang Lexuan back and assigned Yan Shaozhe to oversee the selection competition.
• Du Busi secretly investigated Soul Tools in the Sun Moon Empire and concluded that the Body Sect had to adapt to the changing times.
• Du Busi put Lang Ya in charge of Soul Tool development, with Jin Peng assisting, and ordered them to train disciples before the Soul Master Competition.
• Lin Xiao suggested that Weina study Soul Tools, and Long Aotian supported the idea because her Brain Martial Soul suited the work.

As the Soul Master Competition approached, Lin Xiao planned to travel for experience while Tang San directed Da Ming and Er Ming to search the competition for talented disciples who might be connected to the missing treasures. The chapter ended with Da Ming and Er Ming preparing to investigate at the arena as Tang Wutong competed.

• Du Busi estimated that the Soul Master Competition would begin in three or four months and offered Lin Xiao a place on the Heaven Dou Empire's team.
• Lin Xiao declined to compete but agreed to travel for experience, with the Demonic Forest among his possible destinations.
• Tang San worried over the missing treasures and divine sense while God King Destruction watched him closely.
• Tang San told Da Ming and Er Ming to look for exceptionally talented young masters at the Soul Master Competition, suspecting a sect had used the treasures to cultivate its disciples.
• After ending his connection with Tang San, Da Ming reminded Er Ming to investigate while watching Tang Wutong compete, and they began preparing for the competition.

Lin Xiao and Xiao Linger traveled to Heaven Dou City to discuss Soul Tools with Weina, then went to the Star Dou Great Forest so Xiao Linger could obtain a Soul Ring. There, Lin Xiao warned Di Tian and the others that sharing the Soul Spirit Method could ultimately endanger the Soul Beast Race.

• Lin Xiao rejected Du Busi's suggestion that he enter the Soul Master Competition and agreed to travel until he reached Level 40.
• Du Busi asked Lin Xiao to speak with Weina about Soul Tools, and he sent Long Aotian out to gain experience with an Elder.
• Lin Xiao left the Body Sect with Xiao Linger and traveled to Heaven Dou City, where Weina agreed to study in the Sun Moon Empire after the competition.
• Lin Xiao and Xiao Linger entered the Star Dou Great Forest, where they met Di Tian and Bi Ji, and Lin Xiao said Xiao Linger needed a Soul Ring.
• When Di Tian asked Lin Xiao to share the Soul Spirit Method, Lin Xiao explained that its profits could eventually destroy the Soul Beast Race.

Lin Xiao warned Di Tian that the Soul Spirit Method could eventually drive Soul Beasts to extinction, so Di Tian decided not to spread it and asked how their cultivation system might change. Xiao Linger completed Xiao Er’s hundred-thousand-year sacrifice, gained a powerful Soul Ring and an External Soul Bone, then offered the bone to Lin Xiao.

• Lin Xiao explained to Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the others how greed and the Soul Spirit Method could threaten the Soul Beast Race, and Di Tian decided the method should not be spread.
• Lin Xiao said the cultivation system would have to change to prevent Soul Beasts from remaining human Soul Rings, and Di Tian took renewed hope from the Silver Dragon King and the Dragon God's possible return.
• Di Tian had Bi Ji bring Xiao Er, a hundred-thousand-year dragon Soul Beast, and instructed him to sacrifice himself to Xiao Linger.
• Xiao Er's sacrifice shattered Xiao Linger's Soul Power shackles, raised her Soul Power to level 66, and left her the Hundred-Thousand-Year Black Dragon King's Wings External Soul Bone.
• Xiao Er emerged from Xiao Linger's Sixth Soul Ring alive, thanked her, and accepted Lin Xiao as someone to respect after she corrected him.
• Xiao Linger gave the External Soul Bone to Lin Xiao, though Xiao Er protested that it belonged to her.

Xiao Linger gave Lin Xiao a hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone, which he refined to reach Soul Power level 40 and Dou Qi 6th Stage. The group planned to return to the Far North to check on Snow Empress, while Di Tian agreed to consider developing Soul Tools for the Soul Beast Race.

• Xiao Linger gave Lin Xiao her External Soul Bone, and he began refining it while she rested nearby.
• Ice Empress told Di Tian she did not know whether Snow Empress had emerged from seclusion, and they agreed to check on her in the Far North.

• Lin Xiao sold his empty house and took Xiao Linger to a hotel as the Soul Master Competition approached.
• Xuan Zi recruited Huo Yuhao and other Shrek students for the Shrek Inspection Team, and Ma Xiaotao explained their mission to hunt Evil Soul Masters.
• Dai Yueheng helped the team borrow a Flying Soul Tool at a military camp near the Heaven Dou and Star Luo border, while Huo Yuhao resented Dai Yueheng's privileged life and hypocrisy.

Huo Yuhao joined Shrek’s team as they entered the Ming Dou Mountain Range to hunt Evil Soul Masters, while privately dwelling on his mother and his vow to take revenge. The team’s first assault ended in a devastating corpse explosion, and Xuan Zi rushed in to seize Death’s Emissary after realizing how badly the students had been hurt.

• Huo Yuhao hid his anger over Dai Yueheng’s family from the others and silently vowed to take revenge himself.
• Wang Yan sent Huo Yuhao to use Spiritual Detection, and Huo Yuhao located an Evil Soul Master hiding in a cave.

• Huo Yuhao noticed the bandits’ strange reaction and shouted a warning, but a Soul King’s chain of exploding corpses blasted the team, killing Yao Haoxuan and badly injuring several Inner Court students.
• Xuan Zi realized the students were in danger, abandoned his chicken and wine, and rushed into the cave to grab Death’s Emissary.
