Chapter Summaries

Ye Qianxue overwhelmed Flender and Zhao Wuji with her pressure after they came to confront Ye Xiao’s group, forcing them to kneel in the hotel. She left them trapped under her pressure while she and the others went upstairs, and the two men could only wait in fear for her anger to subside.

• Flender and Zhao Wuji realized Ye Xiao, Ye Qianxue, and the others were unaffected by Zhao Wuji’s Spirit Saint pressure and asked who they were.
• Ye Qianxue released overwhelming pressure without revealing her Martial Soul or Spirit Rings, forcing Flender and Zhao Wuji to collapse onto the floor.
• Flender and Zhao Wuji apologized and begged Ye Qianxue to spare them, but she ordered them to kneel until she allowed them to rise.
• Ye Xiao and the others calmly drank tea while Flender and Zhao Wuji remained kneeling under Ye Qianxue’s pressure.
• Ye Qianxue intensified the pressure as she passed them on her way upstairs, leaving Flender and Zhao Wuji unable to move and silently blaming Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

After Ye Qianxue left, Flender and Zhao Wuji remained kneeling in the hotel as witnesses condemned them, while back at Shrek Academy Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun waited for the Deans and imagined they had avenged them. As dusk fell without their return, Dai Mubai decided to go to Suotuo City with Ma Hongjun to find them.

• Hotel guests whispered that Ye Qianxue had defeated Flender and Zhao Wuji after their students provoked her, leaving the two Spirit Saints humiliated and unable to seek revenge.
• At Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun worried that Flender and Zhao Wuji had not returned, while Dai Mubai insisted they had killed Ye Qianxue and would bring back her head.
• Oscar watched Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun with relief that he had not joined their misconduct or provoked Ye Qianxue.
• When Flender and Zhao Wuji were still absent at dusk, Dai Mubai admitted something might be wrong and agreed to go to Suotuo City with Ma Hongjun to look for them.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun learned that Ye Qianxue had forced Flender and Zhao Wuji to kneel, panicked, and fled Suotuo City rather than face her. The next morning, Flender and Zhao Wuji were still kneeling under Ye Qianxue’s oppressive aura as she and the others came downstairs.

• Oscar refused to accompany Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to Suotuo City, so the two went alone.

• Dai Mubai decided they should flee, and he and Ma Hongjun ran from Suotuo City, vowing not to return while Ye Qianxue remained there.
• The next morning, Flender and Zhao Wuji were still kneeling in the hotel hall under Ye Qianxue’s oppressive aura.
• Ye Qianxue, Ye Xiao, A Yin, Ning Rongrong, and the others came downstairs after resting well.

Ye Qianxue released Flender and Zhao Wuji after ordering them to kneel until noon, then explained over breakfast why the group would avoid killing Tang San while the Asura God remained a threat. They agreed to build their strength and wait until they could safely face the God Realm.

• Ye Qianxue told Flender and Zhao Wuji she had forgotten they were kneeling and ordered them to remain there until noon, warning them to control their students.
• Flender and Zhao Wuji thanked Ye Qianxue and resolved to punish Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun when they returned.

• Ye Lingling, Ye Xiao, Ah Yin, and Shui Bing'er agreed that the group should spare Tang San, accumulate strength, and avoid confronting the Asura God for now.
• Ning Rongrong admitted she had acted impulsively, and Ye Qianxue reassured her that the family would follow their cautious plan.

Flender and Zhao Wuji recovered from Ye Qianxue’s crushing pressure and returned to Shrek Academy after being forced to kneel through the night. Zhao Wuji confronted Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, then used his Spirit Ability to force them to their knees.

• Flender and Zhao Wuji struggled out of the hotel, endured Suotuo City residents’ mockery, and staggered back toward Shrek Academy.
• Li Yusong and Shao Xin supported the injured men at the academy gates, where Zhao Wuji explained that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had provoked a Titled Douluo and that Ye Qianxue had made the two deans kneel overnight.
• Flender and Zhao Wuji sat in the central square while Li Yusong and Shao Xin fetched Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
• Zhao Wuji berated Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun for harassing a Titled Douluo, then activated Third Spirit Ability: Gravity Enhancement and forced them to their knees.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun endured a day of punishment after their actions brought disgrace upon Flender and Zhao Wuji, and Dai Mubai swore to grow strong enough to avenge his humiliation. Two days later, Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at Shrek Academy and were startled to find only an ordinary small village.

• Flender and Zhao Wuji left Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun kneeling under Zhao Wuji's Gravity Enhancement until nightfall.
• Oscar told the exhausted pair that their own actions had caused the punishment, and Ma Hongjun admitted he blamed himself while noting that his weakened Evil Fire had eased.
• Dai Mubai resolved to cultivate until he could become strong enough to take revenge on Ye Qianxue and everyone who had humiliated him.
• Over the next two days, Dai Mubai cultivated frantically, Ma Hongjun adjusted to his weakened Evil Fire, and Flender and Zhao Wuji warned the students not to cause trouble.
• Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at Shrek Academy but stopped in surprise at the sight of an ordinary small village.

Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at the shabby Shrek Academy and doubted its reputation until its registrar, Li Yusong, revealed his strength as a Soul Emperor. The remaining applicants were warned to follow the academy’s rules as registration continued.

• Tang San and Xiao Wu saw Shrek Academy’s dilapidated entrance and questioned whether it could be the famed academy they had traveled to find.
• Li Yusong rejected an applicant for being over the age limit and refused to refund the registration fee.
• The rejected youth’s father angrily accused the academy of scamming them and demanded his money back.
• Li Yusong displayed six Spirit Rings, frightening the father into fleeing with his son.
• Xiao Wu and Tang San recognized Li Yusong’s Soul Emperor strength, and Li Yusong told the applicants to obey Shrek’s rules or leave.

Ye Xiao and his companions watched Shrek Academy charge applicants ten Gold Soul Coins, and Ye Xiao speculated that Xiao Wu was a Shapeshifting Spirit Beast seeking revenge for her relative. When Tang San and Xiao Wu reached Li Yusong, Xiao Wu passed the age test, but Tang San’s unusually flexible hand made Li Yusong investigate further.

• Ye Xiao, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing condemned Shrek Academy’s enrollment fee as a scam against ordinary families.
• Hu Liena recognized a familiar aura from Xiao Wu, and Ye Xiao suggested it belonged to a Spirit Ring taken by Bibi Dong.
• Shui Yue'er speculated that Tang Hao was protecting Xiao Wu to save her as a Spirit Ring for Tang San, upsetting Ah Yin, whom Ye Xiao comforted.
• Li Yusong confirmed Xiao Wu met the age requirement, then struggled to judge Tang San’s age because of his Mysterious Jade Hand.
• Li Yusong asked Tang San to place his lower leg on the desk and began checking its bones for his age.

Tang San and Xiao Wu entered Shrek Academy after impressing Li Yusong with their Spirit Rings, while Ye Xiao’s group left to explore Suotuo City. Inside the academy, they saw a gloomy Dai Mubai and met Oscar, whose beard made Xiao Wu mistake him for an older man.

• Tang San and Xiao Wu revealed their Martial Souls and century-old Spirit Rings, and Li Yusong welcomed them into the academy.
• Ye Xiao led Ning Rongrong, Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er, Ah Yin, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, and Huo Wu toward Suotuo City to shop and relax.
• Tang San and Xiao Wu entered Shrek Academy and noticed Dai Mubai standing alone, looking pale and gloomy.
• Dai Mubai gave Tang San and Xiao Wu a cold glance, then quickly left without provoking them.
• Oscar approached while pushing a small cart, and Xiao Wu called him uncle, prompting him to insist that he was about their age.

Tang San and Xiao Wu joined Shrek Academy and learned how Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had been crippled after provoking a Female Titled Douluo. As Tang San resolved to rely on strength and avoid reckless people, Tang Hao was shown gravely ill in an abandoned house.

• Oscar sold Tang San and Xiao Wu grilled sausages and warned them that Dai Mubai was in a bad mood.
• Li Yusong conducted Tang San and Xiao Wu’s final entrance assessment and admitted them to Shrek Academy.
• Oscar told Tang San and Xiao Wu that a Female Titled Douluo had subdued the Dean and Zhao Wuji and crippled Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
• Tang San decided to keep his distance from Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun while he and Xiao Wu cultivated at Shrek.
• Tang Hao leaned against a wall in a desolate abandoned house, pale and sweating as he clutched his chest.

Tang Hao struggled with injuries from Ye Qianxue that healing Soul Masters could not treat, while fearing Spirit Hall would find Tang San and insisting Ah Yin had been manipulated into abandoning him. In the God Realm, the Asura God wondered whether Ye Qianxue had crossed time and space and recognized the Jade Seal Martial Soul’s extraordinary power.

• Tang Hao searched for healing Soul Masters, but none could treat the wounds left by Ye Qianxue and the backlash from detonating his Nine Rings.
• Tang Hao worried that Spirit Hall would discover Tang San and blamed it for controlling Ah Yin, refusing to believe she had betrayed him willingly.
• Tang Hao considered Ye Qianxue’s Twin Martial Souls and wondered why someone of her power remained behind the scenes instead of taking over Spirit Hall.
• The Asura God sensed an aura of time around Ye Qianxue and questioned whether she had crossed into this era, though he considered such travel beyond the God Realm’s rules.
• The Asura God judged Ye Qianxue’s Jade Seal Martial Soul to be exceptionally powerful and thought his Asura Magic Sword might barely contend with it if it became a Martial Soul.

The Asura God worried that an unknown woman with twin God-tier Martial Souls and the aura of time might be targeting Tang San, while the Destruction God King kept him from intervening in the Lower Realm. In Suotuo City, Flender led Shrek’s students to the Soto Great Soul Arena for their first lesson in real combat, and Tang San felt drawn to the battle-filled world within.

• The Asura God lamented that he could not act against the Lower Realm crisis because the Destruction God King was watching him, and he hoped to protect Tang Hao and keep the unknown woman from harming Tang San.
• Flender led Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and the other Shrek students into Suotuo City, despite fearing a return to the city where he had encountered Your Excellency.
• Oscar asked whether the students should enter the Soul Fighting Arena before they knew one another well, and Flender explained that monsters needed real combat to develop their abilities.

• Tang San watched the towering arena and felt his heartbeat quicken as its roaring crowds stirred his curiosity about the world of Soul Masters.

Ye Xiao arranged for Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er to face Shrek's fighters after Gu Yuena suppressed their strength, while Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were assigned Dai Mubai's group. On the No. 14 Soul Fighting Platform, Shui Yue'er and Xiao Wu began their one-on-one match, and Tang San judged that Xiao Wu had the advantage against her opponent's likely agile style.

• Tang San felt the excitement of the Soto Great Soul Arena as Shrek entered the venue.
• Ning Rongrong told Ye Xiao that Shrek had arrived, and he revealed he had arranged Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er to fight Tang San and Xiao Wu after Gu Yuena suppressed their Soul Power to level 29.
• Ye Xiao assigned Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun to face Dai Mubai's group, and Zhu Zhuyun said she wanted to see what Dai Mubai had become.
• The host announced the No. 14 Soul Fighting Platform's first one-on-one match between Xiao Wu and Shui Yue'er, who exchanged taunts before fighting.
• Oscar worried about Shui Yue'er's unknown Martial Soul, while Tang San judged that Xiao Wu could handle her because Shui Yue'er seemed agile rather than powerful.

Shui Yue'er, disguised as a rank twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster, overwhelmed Xiao Wu in close combat at the arena. After Xiao Wu was injured and resorted to her Charm ability, Shui Yue'er remained unaffected, leaving the fight poised to continue.

• Shui Yue'er and Xiao Wu began their match with their Martial Soul Possessions and two yellow Spirit Rings each.
• Shui Yue'er blocked Xiao Wu's Waist Bow with her Ice Jade Twin Blades and suppressed her with superior close-combat skill.
• Tang San and Flender recognized Shui Yue'er as someone who had been with Ye Xiao, and Flender warned the Shrek students to be careful in later matches.
• Shui Yue'er struck Xiao Wu in the chest with an Ice Blade, making her cough blood and retreat.
• Xiao Wu used her Charm ability, but Shui Yue'er showed no signs of being affected.

Shui Yue'er defeated Xiao Wu in the arena, leaving her injured and humbled. In the contestants' lounge, Xiao Wu's careless mention of the Titled Douluo who crippled Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai stirred Dai Mubai's killing intent, and Tang San hurried to stop her.

• Shui Yue'er dismissed Xiao Wu's charm and defeated her with Zero Degree Impact, winning their match.
• Flender helped the injured Xiao Wu to the lounge, where Tang San checked on her and she admitted Shui Yue'er had completely outmatched her.

• Xiao Wu asked if Your Excellency was the Titled Douluo who had crippled Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, upsetting both men.
• Tang San noticed Dai Mubai's killing intent and sternly told Xiao Wu not to talk nonsense.

Xiao Wu feared that the mysterious Titled Douluo would discover her identity as a Shapeshifted Spirit Beast, while Tang San faced Shui Bing'er in the Soul Fighting Arena. Shui Bing'er used her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul to freeze and shatter Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, then activated her Ice Ring Armor.

• After hearing that the mysterious Your Excellency might be nearby, Xiao Wu panicked that her true form would be exposed, but she reassured Tang San and sent him to compete.

• Tang San attacked with Blue Silver Entanglement, but Shui Bing'er froze the vines with Ice Seal, forcing him to cut off his Soul Power and let them shatter.
• Shui Bing'er activated her second Spirit Ability, Ice Ring Armor, and the cold aura around her surged.

Tang San challenged Shui Bing'er at close range after her ice abilities suppressed his Blue Silver Grass, but her defense and combat skill overwhelmed him. Shui Bing'er defeated him and was declared the winner.

• Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand to attack Shui Bing'er, but her Ice Ring Armor absorbed his strikes and her icy counterattack numbed him.
• Tang San and Shui Bing'er exchanged close-quarters techniques, but he could not break through her armor and was steadily forced onto the defensive.
• Tang San tried to pierce gaps in Shui Bing'er's armor with concealed silver needles, but ice crystals blocked every needle.
• Shui Bing'er struck Tang San with an icy palm, sending him off the arena, and the referee declared her the winner.

After Shui Bing'er defeated Tang San, he blamed Yu Xiaogang’s teaching for the gap between them and regretted choosing him as his teacher. Dai Mubai then entered the arena to face Zhu Zhuqing, who silently judged how much his character had changed.

• Tang San returned to the resting area injured and admitted that Shui Bing'er was far stronger than he had expected.
• Tang San concluded that Yu Xiaogang’s weak teaching, rather than his own talent, had caused his defeat, and his respect for his teacher faded.
• Xiao Wu stayed beside the dejected Tang San while Flender warned Dai Mubai that his next opponent might also be one of Your Excellency’s disciples.
• Dai Mubai insisted on fighting, driven by resentment over how Your Excellency had crippled him.
• Dai Mubai entered the arena and faced Zhu Zhuqing, who noted inwardly that his former flamboyant personality had disappeared.

Zhu Zhuqing defeated Dai Mubai with overwhelming speed and precision in their arena match, leaving the Shrek group shaken. Ye Xiao revealed that the defeats were only beginning and that he planned to break Shrek’s confidence through repeated losses.

• Dai Mubai activated his White Tiger abilities and attacked Zhu Zhuqing, but she split his White Tiger Intense Light Wave with her claws.
• Dai Mubai recognized that Zhu Zhuqing’s silver-white Silver Moon Spirit Cat resembled the Zhu family’s Hell Spirit Cat, though he could not explain the difference.
• Zhu Zhuqing dodged Dai Mubai’s attacks and repeatedly cut through his defenses, leaving him bleeding and unable to fight back effectively.
• Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San watched from the Shrek group’s resting area as Zhu Zhuqing dominated the match.
• Zhu Zhuyun praised Zhu Zhuqing’s strength, while Huo Wu attributed it to their superior resources and instruction.
• Ye Xiao told Ning Rongrong that his group would keep targeting Shrek in future matches to destroy their pride and confidence through repeated defeats.

Zhu Zhuqing decisively defeated Dai Mubai in the third Soul Fighting match, leaving the Shrek group reeling from three consecutive losses. Dai Mubai returned to the resting area physically wounded and emotionally devastated, while Flender struggled to comfort him.

• Ye Xiao told Ning Rongrong that Shrek would have to keep fighting because of its graduation requirements and Yu Xiaogang's expected arrival.
• Zhu Zhuqing overwhelmed Dai Mubai, broke through his White Tiger Barrier with her Silver Moon Slash, and won the match.
• The audience cheered as the referee declared Zhu Zhuqing the winner, marking Shrek's third consecutive defeat.
• Oscar helped the badly injured Dai Mubai back to the resting area and gave him sausages to aid his recovery.
• Flender tried to reassure Dai Mubai, but Dai remained silent and withdrawn, leaving Flender troubled by the severity of the defeat.
