Chapter Summaries

Dugu Yan defeated three stronger opponents in the Soul Fighting Arena by spreading poison with explosive spheres, inspiring Tang San to consider turning his Eight Spider Lances toxin into Hidden Weapons. Back at the hotel, Shrek reunited with Qin Ming, who offered to arrange for the students to study at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

• Dugu Yan used explosive spheres to blanket the arena in Jade Phosphorus Poison and killed three opponents, including a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
• Tang San considered combining the Eight Spider Lances’ toxin with Tang Sect Hidden Weapon techniques and asked Yu Xiaogang whether a shattered External Soul Bone could recover.
• The Shrek group returned to their hotel, where they met Qin Ming, a former Shrek student and current teacher of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Qin Ming greeted Flender and Zhao Wuji, agreed to cover Shrek’s hotel expenses, and asked whether the students could study at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Qin Ming debated sending Shrek Academy’s students to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where they learned that its First Team consisted of the extraordinary Zhao Mu. The group agreed to head to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing grew eager to learn more about Zhao Mu.

• Yu Xiaogang urged Flender to let Shrek’s students and teachers join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Flender agreed on the condition that the students could compete in the Elite Tournament.
• Qin Ming revealed that Dugu Yan’s group was Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s Second Team and that its First Team consisted of one member, Zhao Mu.
• Qin Ming said Zhao Mu had been eight years old and a level-fifty Quasi-Soul King when he defeated every selection participant, including the Second Team, with one move each.
• Qin Ming revealed that Zhao Mu had a living mutated Vajra Bear Martial Soul and was Zhao Wuji’s nephew, then relayed Zhao Mu’s message for Zhao Wuji to return home.
• Shrek’s group set out for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Qin Ming told Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing that Ye Lingling’s strength had developed through training with Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu and Heibai trained at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where they discovered the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the water. Although they could not breach the bones’ protective energy, Heibai took a small fragment, and Zhao Mu resumed its dangerous attribute-fusion training.

• Zhao Mu practiced his Body Martial Soul Awakening and considered keeping it hidden while Heibai struggled to fuse its fire, water, earth, and lightning attributes.
• After Heibai reported something unpleasant at the bottom of the well, Zhao Mu sent it down to investigate and sensed its growing discomfort.
• Heibai found two enormous skeletons and was repeatedly blasted away when it tried to touch them; the Dragon Kings’ fading voices identified the bear’s unsettling aura.
• Zhao Mu recognized the skeletons as the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings and recalled Heibai after concluding their protective energy was beyond their reach.
• Heibai produced a fragment of Dragon King bone, which Zhao Mu stored before sending it back to practice attribute fusion; another explosion injured it and slammed it against the mountain wall.

Zhao Mu returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and found Shrek's group fighting its students. He challenged Shrek to prove their strength, then used Time Stasis and let Heibai knock them down, leaving nearly the entire group unconscious.

• Zhao Mu healed Heibai after its Four-Attribute Fusion experiments and decided to move their research to the academy's Mimicry Cultivation Environment.
• Zhao Mu arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and found Shrek's group, led by Flender, fighting Xue Beng and the academy's students.
• Xue Beng asked Zhao Mu to stand up for them, while Yu Xiaogang explained that Shrek had been invited for exchange and study.
• Zhao Mu challenged Shrek to defeat him if they wanted to do as they pleased at the academy, and Tang San prepared the group for a fight.
• Zhao Mu froze everyone nearby with Time Stasis, then Heibai struck Shrek's members down one by one, leaving Tang San and Dai Mubai badly hurt and nearly everyone unconscious.

Tang San’s hidden weapons failed to injure Zhao Mu, and he passed out from his wounds. Zhao Mu then challenged the Shrek teachers, while Heibai quickly took two of them out and the remaining fighters prepared to face him.

• Tang San launched twelve hidden weapons at Zhao Mu, but they bounced off his skin without harming him, and Tang San soon fainted.
• Flender broke free from Time Freeze, saw the injured Shrek members, and confronted Zhao Mu, who challenged the Shrek teachers to defeat him.
• Heibai transformed into Thunder Form and swiftly defeated Lu Qibin and Shao Xin, leaving three teachers to face Zhao Mu.
• Flender took to the air and ordered Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong to engage Zhao Mu, but Zhao Wuji refused to attack his nephew.
• Li Yusong attacked Zhao Mu with his Dragon Pattern Staff, and Zhao Mu used his enhanced spiritual power to follow the staff’s movements.

Zhao Mu and Heibai defeated Li Yusong with a lightning attack, then faced Flender’s aerial assault in a stalemate. Zhao Mu spotted Yu Xiaogang as a potential way to counter Flender, who realized his friend was in danger.

• Heibai caught Li Yusong’s Dragon Pattern Staff and used it to conduct Zhao Mu’s 100,000 Volts attack, leaving Li Yusong charred and barely alive.
• Qin Ming hurried toward the mountain’s foot after sensing the blast, while Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s students and education chiefs recognized Zhao Mu’s power.
• Flender transformed into his Cat Eagle Martial Soul Avatar and attacked Zhao Mu and Heibai with air blades, but they evaded or withstood his strikes.
• Heibai sent arcs of electricity at Flender, who dodged them from the air, leaving both sides unable to land effective attacks.
• Zhao Mu noticed Yu Xiaogang standing nearby, and Flender realized Zhao Mu might target him.

Zhao Mu defeated the Shrek group after they attacked Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Qin Ming questioned Shrek’s conduct and treated the injured. As Flender prepared to leave with the others, Zhao Wuji, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing chose to stay, and Ning Rongrong dismissed Flender’s attempt to pressure her with her father’s wishes.

• Flender revealed Yu Xiaogang’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan background to deter Zhao Mu, but Zhao Mu ignored the threat and slapped Yu Xiaogang free of his control.
• Flender surrendered on Shrek’s behalf, then angrily confronted Qin Ming when he arrived; Xue Beng said Shrek had attacked first, and Flender admitted Dai Mubai had struck after Shrek was insulted.
• Qin Ming judged Shrek to be in the wrong, ordered Li Ze to treat the injured, and saw Flender lead the recovered group away from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Zhao Wuji refused to leave with Flender, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also chose to stay.
• Flender threatened Ning Rongrong with her father’s disapproval, but she remained confident in choosing Zhao Mu and Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing chose to leave Dai Mubai behind and stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while Zhao Mu forced the Shrek group to fulfill their bet and roll away. After Ning Rongrong sought Zhao Mu’s help and Zhao Wuji offered to protect him, Zhao Mu turned to Heibai’s cultivation and tested his seemingly invulnerable skin.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Dai Mubai she wanted to escape both her family’s deadly rivalry and the marriage fate tied to him, and Dai Mubai accepted that she would not return to him.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to honor the bet, and the Shrek group, including Flender, rolled out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy while Qin Ming stayed behind.
• Qin Ming offered to arrange enrollment for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong asked Zhao Mu to make her as powerful as Ye Lingling.
• Zhao Mu refused Ning Rongrong’s offer of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s friendship and warned that she might earn his friendship someday; Zhu Zhuqing held back from asking him for help.
• Zhao Wuji promised to return home and then protect Zhao Mu, who acknowledged him as his second uncle before leaving for the academy’s Mountainous Region.
• As Heibai began cultivating four-attribute fusion, Zhao Mu tested his wrist with a dagger and found that even pressing hard could not cut his skin.

Zhao Mu discovered that metals could not harm him and that he could reshape metal with Soul Power, then used his Medusa Head Bone skill to turn ordinary iron into a powerful spear. The spear reverted to ordinary iron when his Soul Power faded, and the chapter ended as the banner on his awakened armor began glowing dark crimson.

• Zhao Mu tested metals and found none could injure him, while a wooden thorn pierced his skin.
• Zhao Mu awakened his Body Martial Soul and learned he could reshape metal into weapons, though he could not make working firearms.
• Zhao Mu used Matter Energy Recombination to transform an iron spear into a black weapon that withstood Heibai's Darkborn Demon God Claw.
• Zhao Mu realized the transformed spear reverted to ordinary iron when his Soul Power dissipated and wondered whether he could have a permanent weapon.
• Heibai rubbed against Zhao Mu as the banner pattern on Zhao Mu's armor began glowing dark crimson.

Zhao Mu learned the materials required to condense the Jiuli Yaotian Flag and asked Ning Rongrong to secure them from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Rongrong returned to the sect to seek Ning Fengzhi’s approval, while her father and the elders discussed her transfer to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Zhao Mu.

• Zhao Mu received memories revealing the Jiuli Yaotian Flag’s name and the rare metals and Spirit Bone needed to condense it.
• Zhao Mu gave Ning Rongrong the materials list and asked her to obtain the items from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in exchange for his friendship.
• Ning Rongrong asked Zhao Mu for information about helping Ye Lingling grow stronger, and he handed her a folded note before she left to consult Ning Fengzhi.
• At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gu Rong warned Ning Rongrong that Ning Fengzhi might scold her for leaving Shrek Academy, but she insisted she had brought important news.
• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin arrived, and Chen Xin explained that Ning Fengzhi had allowed Ning Rongrong to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy because of Zhao Mu.

Ning Fengzhi and the elders learned that Zhao Mu might help Support System Soul Masters fight effectively, but his cryptic note angered Ning Rongrong and left the sect unsure what to make of him. Meanwhile, Zhao Mu considered Heibai’s next Soul Ring and returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to seek a way to overcome Heibai’s inability to fly.

• Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo that Zhao Mu had hinted he could give Support System Soul Masters the power to defeat opponents of the same level.
• Ning Fengzhi opened Zhao Mu’s note, which revealed only that he had used something on Ye Lingling, leaving the others unable to deduce the missing information.
• Ning Rongrong demanded that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo punish Zhao Mu, but they refused to attack a junior, and Ning Fengzhi decided to observe Zhao Mu at the upcoming Soul Master Tournament.
• Zhao Mu tried to get Heibai to trigger another Seven Armaments refinement method, but Heibai refused, so Zhao Mu set the attempt aside and considered Heibai’s next Soul Ring.
• Zhao Mu realized that changing Heibai’s weight might enable flight and improve his attacks, then left Heaven Dou Royal Academy for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to seek the Xumi Fruit and Jiezi Grass.

Tang Hao ambushed Zhao Mu and Heibai, but their killing intent broke his Divine Slaughter's Domain. Tang Hao attacked Zhao Mu to eliminate the threat he posed to Tang San, and Zhao Mu revealed his awakened Body Martial Soul and 100,000-Year Soul Ring while evading the Clear Sky Hammer.

• Tang Hao appeared and trapped Zhao Mu and Heibai in Divine Slaughter's Domain, but their surging killing intent shattered it.
• Zhao Mu recognized Tang Hao, who explained that he had come after seeing Zhao Mu confront Shrek and revealed his intent to protect Tang San.
• Tang Hao summoned his Clear Sky Hammer and attacked Zhao Mu despite Zhao Mu pointing out their difference in strength and seniority.
• Heibai blocked Tang Hao's first hammer strike and fired lightning at him, but Tang Hao swept Heibai away and pressed his attack on Zhao Mu.
• Zhao Mu evaded Tang Hao's hammer with Flash Step and revealed his awakened Body Martial Soul, ancient black armor, and 100,000-Year Soul Ring.

Tang Hao recognized Zhao Mu as a Twin Martial Soul possessor with a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and intensified his efforts to kill him. Zhao Mu and Heibai fled and fought back, but Tang Hao overcame their attacks and cornered them, leaving Zhao Mu to pull something from his Soul Tool.

• Tang Hao realized Zhao Mu had a second Martial Soul and a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, then resolved to eliminate him as a threat to Tang San.
• Zhao Mu and Heibai used Boil Release, Burial Mist to obscure Tang Hao and escaped toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Time Acceleration.
• Tang Hao cleared the acidic mist and pursued Zhao Mu, who changed directions before Heibai unleashed their Four-Attribute Fusion attack.
• Tang Hao deflected the unstable multicolored sphere, which exploded and injured Zhao Mu and Heibai; they used Rapid Healing while Tang Hao crossed the crater to attack again.
• With Tang Hao closing in, Zhao Mu took something from his Soul Tool and told him to look.

Zhao Mu and Heibai used Medusa’s Curse to petrify Tang Hao, but the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring and Right Leg Bone initially helped him resist. Heibai stole the Soul Bone, leaving Tang Hao vulnerable as Zhao Mu refused to return it, and Tang Hao attacked them in fury.

• Zhao Mu revealed Medusa’s severed head, and its Curse Power began petrifying Tang Hao despite his attempts to resist.
• Tang Hao’s Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring and Right Leg Bone countered the curse, allowing him to recover and fend off Zhao Mu and Heibai’s attacks.
• Heibai snatched the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone during the clash, causing Medusa’s Curse Power to overwhelm Tang Hao again.
• Zhao Mu demanded Tang Hao’s right arm and left leg Soul Bones in exchange for the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, but Tang Hao refused.
• Zhao Mu stored the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone in his Soul Tool, and Tang Hao angrily raised his hammer to attack him and Heibai.

Zhao Mu and Heibai battled Tang Hao, using their attacks to wear him down under Medusa’s curse. After Zhao Mu survived Tang Hao’s full-power hammer strike thanks to his immunity to Tool Martial Souls, Tang Hao seemed ready to die, but the radiance of Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring revived his resolve.

• Tang Hao used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to restrict Zhao Mu’s movement while Zhao Mu and Heibai prepared their Four-Attribute Fusion attack.
• Heibai’s multicolored sphere exploded early, injuring Zhao Mu and Heibai while leaving Tang Hao’s body severely petrified and burned.
• Tang Hao enlarged his Clear Sky Hammer and unleashed a full-power strike at Zhao Mu, who recalled Heibai and faced it alone.
• Zhao Mu survived the hammer strike as his black armor shattered, revealing that his Metal Immunity also negated damage from Tool Martial Souls.
• Tang Hao coughed under the curse’s erosion and believed he was dying, but Ah Yin’s Soul Ring flared and he summoned Divine Slaughter’s Domain.

Tang Hao escaped Zhao Mu but was saved from Medusa’s Curse Power by Ah Yin, losing his ninth Soul Ring and becoming an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Heibai guarded the unconscious Zhao Mu, raided his Soul Tool ring for food, and helped Dugu Bo bring him back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Zhao Mu soon awoke.

• Tang Hao fled Heibai’s lightning attacks, then collapsed in the forest as Medusa’s Curse Power petrified most of his body.
• Ah Yin emerged from Tang Hao’s 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring and poured her energy into him, erasing the curse and restoring his vitality.
• Tang Hao awoke with only eight Soul Rings, having lost his 100,000-Year Soul Ring and his Title Douluo status.
• Heibai watched over the unconscious Zhao Mu, opened his Soul Tool ring, and ate the food and bamboo poles inside.
• Dugu Bo arrived, treated Zhao Mu, and had Heibai carry him back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• With the well’s energy and Heibai’s transferred energy aiding his recovery, Zhao Mu woke after a little over half an hour.

After surviving his fight with Tang Hao, Zhao Mu recovered and gave the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to Heibai to absorb. Lovesick Heartbreak Red suppressed the bone’s resistance, and Heibai’s Soul Bones fused into armor as Zhao Mu identified the result as a Spirit Bone Fusion Skill.

• Zhao Mu told Dugu Bo that Tang Hao had nearly killed him and that he had taken Tang Hao’s Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
• Zhao Mu discovered that Heibai had stolen food from his Soul Tool, while Dugu Bo explained that the food’s energy had helped Zhao Mu recover.
• Zhao Mu decided that Heibai should absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, but its lingering will resisted Heibai.
• Zhao Mu brought Heibai to Lovesick Heartbreak Red, whose golden-red light suppressed the Blue Silver Emperor’s aura and allowed Heibai to absorb the bone.
• Heibai’s head bone, right palm bone, and right leg bone formed a layer of armor, which Zhao Mu recognized as a Spirit Bone Fusion Skill.

Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo discussed Heibai’s rare Spirit Bone Fusion Skill, then Zhao Mu used the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Wujue Stone to help Heibai create his Sixth Soul Ring. Zhao Mu broke through to Soul Emperor and reached level 70, but found the new ring granted only one Soul Skill.

• Zhao Mu explained that Spirit Bone Fusion Skills required compatible Soul Bones, shared origins, and considerable luck, while Dugu Bo guessed the other potential user was from Spirit Hall.
• Zhao Mu said he needed more strength after Tang Hao’s ambush and asked Dugu Bo to stand guard while he pursued his Sixth Soul Ring.
• Zhao Mu chose the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and Heibai swallowed the flower, its roots and stem, and the Wujue Stone whole.
• Heibai digested both treasures, transferring their energy to Zhao Mu and forming a gold, red, and black Soul Ring beneath his feet.
• Zhao Mu broke through to Soul Emperor and reached level 70, then told Dugu Bo that his Sixth Soul Ring had only one Soul Skill.

Zhao Mu revealed that his Sixth Soul Skill was the Domain of the Wood Emperor, which let him control plants and reshape the battlefield. He tested it against Dugu Bo, trapping him with increasingly powerful wooden constructs and revealing that the vines could absorb Soul Power and life force.

• Zhao Mu activated the Domain of the Wood Emperor, grew into a tall, golden-red-haired young man, and made the surrounding plants erupt into a vast forest.
• Zhao Mu attacked Dugu Bo with branches and vines, but Dugu Bo used his Eighth Soul Skill, Time Stasis, and the Jade Phosphorous Profound Dragon to stop and smash them.
• Zhao Mu summoned a Wood Dragon that transformed into a giant Wood Golem, which seized the Jade Phosphorous Profound Dragon until Dugu Bo petrified it with Medusa's Gaze.
• Zhao Mu overwhelmed Dugu Bo with tougher vines and imprisoned him and the Jade Phosphorous Profound Dragon in a wooden cage.
• Zhao Mu told Dugu Bo he was immune to fire, then demonstrated that his vines could drain Soul Power and some life force from Dugu Bo.

After Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo finished their fight, they examined Zhao Mu and Heibai’s plant-controlling Sixth Soul Skill while Heibai used it to grow Immortal Herbs for food. In Heaven Dou City, Tang San and Xiao Wu encountered a powerful cloaked figure who suppressed them, then attacked Tang San after he failed to break free.

• Zhao Mu told Dugu Bo that Heibai had absorbed the Sixth Soul Ring and could control plants, while Heibai used the skill to grow and eat Immortal Herbs.
• Zhao Mu explained that he had adapted the plant-based attacks from something he had seen in another world.
• Blue Tyrant Academy changed its name to Shrek Academy, and Tang San and Xiao Wu discussed Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong’s relationship as they walked through the forest.
• A cloaked figure appeared and used a domain to suppress Tang San and Xiao Wu, criticizing Tang San for being unable to resist.
• The figure weakened the domain’s pressure several times, but Tang San failed to break through and asked who the figure was.
• After withdrawing the suppression, the cloaked figure punched at Tang San, who countered with Silent Sleeve Arrows and a Back-Mounted Crossbow; the figure easily deflected both attacks.
