Chapter Summaries

Tang Wuyang attempted Spirit Forging on a piece of Thousand Refinements Deep Sea Silver, risking severe injury as his Soul Power ran out. He replaced it with his Bloodline Power and completed the forging, bringing a new life into being.

• Tang Wuyang refined the Sinking Silver to Thousand Refinements with Spirit, First Grade, shocking Old Man Li, Zhuo Shi, and Old Cai.
• Old Man Li warned that Spirit Forging could badly damage Tang Wuyang because he had only two Soul Rings, but Tang Wuyang continued communicating with the metal.
• As his Soul Power neared exhaustion, Tang Wuyang used his Golden Dragon Body and Bloodline Power to sustain the Spirit Forging, burning his palm in the process.
• The Sinking Silver began merging into Tang Wuyang's Blood Sacrifice hammers, which changed alongside it as his strength dwindled.
• Tang Wuyang spat blood onto the final piece of Sinking Silver and struck it with both hammers, completing Spirit Forging as a golden dragon appeared in the flame.

Tang Wuyang completed Spirit Forging at thirteen, but the ordeal left him unconscious until Zhuo Shi’s power revived him and his Golden Dragon bloodline devoured some of it. The group then reunited with Wu Changkong at the Shrek Academy Inner Court gates, where Zhuo Shi acknowledged his grandchildren and allowed Wu Changkong to accompany them inside.

• Tang Wuyang Spirit Forged his Thousand Refinements Sinking Silver Hammers, which fused into his palms, then collapsed from exhaustion as Gu Yue caught him.
• Zhuo Shi used his Red Jade Dragon Soul Power to restore Tang Wuyang, whose Golden Dragon Patterns devoured some of the red energy.

• Zhuo Shi acknowledged Wu Changkong’s grandchildren, and Wu Changkong apologized before rising and following Zhuo Shi into the Inner Court.

Tang Wuyang and his companions visited Sea God Island, where Wu Changkong reconciled with Zhuo Shi and the students were told to register as work-study students. After settling in for the night, Tang Wuyang reflected on his Spirit Forging success and set his sights on creating Two-Word Battle Armor.

• Zhuo Shi brought Tang Wuyang and the others to Sea God Island, assigned them work-study status, and offered to examine Tang Wuyang and Tang Wulin’s unusual powers the following week.

• The students settled into rooms on Sea God Island and began meditating; Tang Wuyang studied his Spirit Forged hammer and resolved to pursue Two-Word Battle Armor.

Tang Wuyang and Tang Wulin ate rare, highly nourishing black steamed buns on Sea God Island, strengthening their bloodlines and impressing Zhuo Shi. After enrolling as work-study students at Shrek Academy, they received a demanding cleaning task and found their dormitory in disrepair, so Tang Wuyang organized the group to make it livable.

• Tang Wuyang and Tang Wulin noticed that cultivation on Sea God Island felt faster and joined Zhuo Shi and the others for breakfast.
• Tang Wuyang ate eighteen black steamed buns and Tang Wulin ate ten, causing their bloodline and Dragon Might to grow stronger.

• The five students found their run-down shared dormitory and, at Tang Wuyang's suggestion, began cleaning it and planning to divide the room with a curtain.

Tang Wuyang, Gu Yue, and their companions settled into the work-study dormitory and used a fused Wind-and-Water vortex to clean Spirit Ice Square. After completing their first task at Shrek Academy, they received Contribution Points and discovered that feeding Tang Wuyang would be a costly challenge.

• Tang Wuyang and the others cleaned their bare dormitory and learned that work-study students had few facilities and had to travel to the Main Teaching Building for hot water and meals.
• Tang Wuyang met the powerful No. 2 Student at the dormitory water pipe, and the group realized that he was also a work-study student.
• Gu Yue and Tang Wuyang fused Wind and Water elements into a vortex that swept dust from Spirit Ice Square, stopping halfway to meditate before finishing the task.
• Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan furnished the dormitory while Gu Yue arranged a curtained space for herself and Tang Wuyang.
• The five handed in their task and received one hundred Shrek Contribution Points, which would cover their meals for the next day but not Tang Wuyang's appetite.

Tang Wuyang ate an enormous free dinner at Shrek Academy, and the nutrient-rich food made his Bloodline Power surge, leading him to suspect that eating could help him cultivate. Later, while the five friends celebrated at a beverage bar, a golden-haired youth demanded a waitress's communication number and tried to buy the bar after the owner refused to disclose it.

• Tang Wuyang bet Xie Peichen that he could finish the mountain of food he had collected, then ate enough to astonish the canteen and its onlookers.

Tang Wuyang and his companions witnessed Yue Zhengyu confront a red-haired work-study student in Shrek City, where a Law Enforcer stopped the fight and confirmed her identity.

Tang Wuyang and his friends attended Shrek Academy’s Opening Ceremony, where Old Cai became their Homeroom Teacher and the academy’s strict elimination and Contribution Point systems were explained. The five began their studies under pressure, but Tang Wuyang remained confident that his and Tang Wulin’s Forging skills would help them earn points.

• Tang Wuyang observed the Outer Court students and watched Old Cai address the new students about exams, expulsion, and the academy’s expectations.

He offered his forging services in exchange for meals and reached a deal with Yuan En for one Thousand Refinements First Grade piece.

• Shen Yi explained that students needed a Second Profession and had to become One-Word Battle Armor Masters before age thirty-five to graduate, while the group faced a stricter deadline for entering the Inner Court.
• Tang Wuyang realized the group’s remaining Contribution Points would not cover his appetite and refused Tang Wulin’s offer to share his points.
• Tang Wuyang posted an offer to forge Thousand Refinements First Grade metal in exchange for a year of meals, but no one initially approached him.
• Yuan En offered Tang Wuyang eleven hundred Contribution Points for one Thousand Refinements First Grade piece, and they agreed to settle the payment by having her buy his meals.
• Tang Wuyang followed Yuan En into the Canteen and spent five hundred Contribution Points on an affordable, nutritious meal.

Tang Wuyang was seized by a red-haired blacksmith who demanded to see his forging skills, and he bargained for a rare metal before beginning to forge two pieces of Starfall Iron. The chapter left him demonstrating his Spirit Forged hammers and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer as the red-haired man watched.

Tang Wuyang learned that his successful Spirit Forging made him a Fifth Grade Forging Grandmaster, while Yue Zhengyu joined the work-study students as he searched for the supposed Evil Soul Master. The group discussed their ambitions at Shrek, where Tang Wuyang urged his friends to focus on improving their Second Professions.

Tang Wuyang focused on cultivation, reassured a jealous Gu Yue, and was appointed Forging Committee Member as Shrek’s class cadre elections began. As students prepared for a free-for-all to choose the Class Leader and Vice Monitors, Tang Wuyang quietly sent Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan to form separate groups.

• After Luo Guixing’s team disappeared, Yang Nianxia led Tang Wuyang, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue in the opposite direction.

The shrinking terrain forced Tang Wuyang, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Yang Nianxia into a sudden clash with Luo Guixing’s team, and they joined forces with Wu Siduo against it. Luo Guixing’s coordinated team countered their attacks and separated their strongest fighters, leaving Tang Wuyang and Gu Yue exposed to two Agile Attack Soul Masters.
