Chapter Summaries

Ye Ying won control of Shrek Academy’s training by exploiting the wording of the vote, then pushed the students through three months of grueling practice that strengthened their combat abilities. During their seven-day break, Ma Hongjun went to Suotuo City to deal with his Evil Fire problem and returned badly beaten, leaving Ye Ying and Oscar to hear his account.

• Ye Ying persuaded the voters to stand behind him by saying that those who did not choose Yu Xiaogang should stand behind Yu Xiaogang, and Flender declared Ye Ying the winner.

• Ye Ying gave the Shrek students seven days off, and Ma Hongjun went to Suotuo City to deal with his Evil Fire.
• Oscar woke up and invited Ye Ying to eat, and they encountered a bruised, swollen Ma Hongjun returning to the academy.
• Ma Hongjun said a sleazy old man had beaten him after he spotted a girl first, and Oscar helped him with a Recovery Sausage before taking him to the cafeteria.

After Ma Hongjun was beaten by the Soul Ancestor Bu Le in Suotuo City, Dai Mubai, Ye Ying, and Oscar agreed to accompany him and confront the man. The four finished dinner and left the academy to find Bu Le.

• Ma Hongjun explained that Bu Le used a control-type Martial Soul resembling two pink covers to block his flames and bind him.
• The four finished dinner, and Ma Hongjun ate Recovery Sausages and drank milk tea before they left the academy together.

After Ma Hongjun was beaten while fighting over a woman, Ye Ying gathered Xiao Wu, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar to help him seek revenge in Suotuo City. They reached Ma Hongjun’s shabby “grass nest,” where he went to check whether his attacker was still there.

• Ma Hongjun went inside to see whether his attacker had left, while Oscar prepared for a fight by chanting his Soul Mantra.

Ye Ying stopped Xiao Wu from approaching Bu Le and sent Tang San to lure the lecherous man instead. Tang San played the part of a young girl seeking candy, and Bu Le eagerly led her toward a secluded place while Ye Ying and the others watched.

Ye Ying’s plan to help Ma Hongjun take revenge on Bu Le went wrong, and Tang San was left injured and disheveled after Bu Le and his companions attacked her. At Shrek Academy, Flender and Zhao Wuji reflected on the intensity of Ye Ying’s three-month training program.

• Spider Woman tried to weave a web overhead, but Ma Hongjun burned it away while Tang San’s First Soul Skill hit Kuángxī.

After the Shrek Eight Devils won their team battle, they celebrated together over a drinking feast and Ning Rongrong thanked them for becoming her friends. The next morning, Ye Ying was the only one still sober, and he had carried Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing to the room he shared with Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong explained that the Royal Combat Team’s Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Master could heal the entire team, so Shrek needed to target her first. Ye Ying remained confident that his stacked milk tea effects would make defeating them effortless, while the Royal Combat Team’s members waited in the Soto Great Soul Arena VIP room.
