Chapter Summaries

Qin Feng and Grey Wolf struggled with their lack of materials and Astonishment Points until Qin Feng came up with a plan to impress Soul Masters using a stick and a rock. They headed to watch Tang San, and the system assigned Qin Feng a mission to astonish him for a reward of 500 points.

• The stone lock rose easily, leaving Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the gathered students in astonishment.

Qin Feng amazed the students and Yu Xiaogang by using a wooden stick and a stone as a lever to raise a 150-jin stone lock, then provoked Tang San by dismissing his techniques as simple applications of scientific laws. The chapter ended with Tang San accepting Qin Feng’s challenge to a public experiment comparing the Tang Sect Secret Arts with science.

• Qin Feng used a wooden stick and a stone as a lever to pry up a 150-jin stone lock, leaving the crowd, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San stunned.
• Qin Feng let the stone lock fall and muttered that the feat relied on the lever principle, which he had learned in middle school physics.
• Tang San confronted Qin Feng, who called Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon flashy and described Tang San’s techniques as crude applications of scientific laws.
• Tang San challenged Qin Feng to make him move half a step, but Qin Feng refused to fight and proposed a public experiment before Yu Xiaogang and the school.
• Tang San accepted the challenge and vowed to demonstrate the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, and Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.

At Notting Academy, Qin Feng used a strobing device and soybeans to disrupt Tang San’s Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and make him fall. Tang San rejected the loss and charged again, so Qin Feng prepared an electrical device as Grey Wolf increased its power.

• Yu Xiaogang began the academic match between Tang San and Qin Feng.
• Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to attack Qin Feng from three directions.
• Qin Feng had Grey Wolf crank a strobe device, which disrupted Tang San’s footwork and exposed his real position.
• Qin Feng scattered soybeans, and Tang San slipped and fell while trying to recover his balance.
• Tang San accused Qin Feng of using an underhanded trick, then charged again with Mysterious Jade Hand.
• Qin Feng produced a wired device and told Grey Wolf to turn up the power; Grey Wolf cranked it faster as it began buzzing.

Qin Feng defeated Tang San with a high-voltage stun gun, then Grey Wolf stopped Tang San’s hidden-weapon attack with a frying pan. Tang San’s final attempt to win failed, leaving the academy stunned by Qin Feng’s methods.

• Tang San attacked Qin Feng with his Mysterious Jade Hand, but Qin Feng shocked him with a high-voltage stun gun and explained how electricity bypassed his defense.
• Yu Xiaogang and the students watched in shock as Tang San collapsed, and Qin Feng gained more shock value.
• Tang San recovered with Wang Sheng’s help and reached for hidden weapons in Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
• Tang San fired three Bone-Piercing Nails at Qin Feng, despite Yu Xiaogang’s warning.
• Grey Wolf stepped in front of Qin Feng and blocked the nails with a frying pan.

Qin Feng defeated Tang San’s Hidden Weapons with a powerful magnet and announced plans to establish a science laboratory. When Director Su arrived to seize Qin Feng and his devices, Qin Feng called on Grey Wolf to bring out the heavy artillery, and the ground began to tremble.

• Tang San’s Bone-Piercing Nails were pulled onto Grey Wolf’s frying pan by a powerful magnet, and Qin Feng explained how electromagnetism had defeated the Hidden Weapons.

• Qin Feng told Grey Wolf to bring out the big guy, and the ground began to tremble.

Qin Feng used Grey Wolf’s Super Invincible Junk King No. 1 to defeat two enforcement teachers sent by Director Su. He challenged Su to prove that the robot’s pepper cannon and spring-loaded glove violated school rules, leaving the director speechless.

• Grey Wolf emerged from the wreckage in his towering junk-built robot, and Qin Feng questioned Director Su’s threat to confiscate his weapon.
• Director Su ordered two enforcement teachers to dismantle the robot, and the teachers activated their Martial Souls to attack.
• Grey Wolf blasted the Iron Staff teacher with pepper, making his face swell as he sneezed, then struck the Blazing Fire Monkey teacher with a spring-loaded glove and knocked him unconscious.
• Qin Feng mocked Director Su with the robot’s supposed teaching functions, and Su backed down in fear.
• Qin Feng argued that pepper and a cotton glove did not count as prohibited weapons, leaving Director Su unable to answer.

Qin Feng explained how science and a steam-powered machine let him defeat a Soul Elder without Soul Power, drawing the students’ admiration and leaving Yu Xiaogang questioning his understanding of the world. Director Su abandoned his attempt to confiscate the machine, and Qin Feng took it back to the work-study dormitory.

• Qin Feng told the students that math and science could help even those with weak Martial Souls grow stronger, inspiring the work-study students to ask him to teach them.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned how Qin Feng’s iron contraption produced such force without Soul Power, and Qin Feng explained that its simplified Stirling engine and high-pressure boiler ran on heat from burning fuel.
• Qin Feng threatened to demonstrate the machine’s giant plunger on Director Su, who backed down and fled with the sneezing teacher.
• The students laughed at Director Su’s retreat, while Qin Feng gained shock points from his fear, the students’ interest in science, and Yu Xiaogang’s self-doubt.
• Qin Feng invited Yu Xiaogang to return with a notebook and cured meat, then rode Scrap King No. 1 with Grey Wolf toward the work-study dormitory.

After earning Shock Points for his public demonstration, Qin Feng redeemed industrial equipment and weapon blueprints, then began teaching Yu Xiaogang that Soul Power and Soul Rings could be understood and reproduced through technology. Their lesson was interrupted by Tang Hao’s overwhelming presence, and Qin Feng prepared to fight him.

• Qin Feng returned to the basement with Grey Wolf and spent his Shock Points on a Basic Industrial Mother Machine, a High-Precision Lathe Blueprint, a Smokeless Powder Formula, and a Barrett M82A1 blueprint.
• Grey Wolf eagerly inspected the new machine, while Qin Feng explained that he could refine materials for a rifle and planned to improve on black powder.
• Yu Xiaogang arrived with cured meat and his notebook, asking Qin Feng to begin their lesson.
• Qin Feng taught Yu Xiaogang that Soul Power was energy and Soul Rings were genetic codes that might eventually be replicated to create artificial Soul Masters.
• Tang Hao’s oppressive aura descended on the basement, and Qin Feng activated Level One Combat Readiness and ordered Grey Wolf to deploy his Fully Automatic Anti-Wolf Turrets.

Tang Hao attacked the basement after discovering that someone had humiliated his son, Tang San, but Qin Feng and Grey Wolf fought back with improvised weapons. As Tang Hao prepared a devastating hammer strike, Qin Feng aimed an electromagnetic railgun at him and fired.

• Tang Hao blamed the people in the basement for Tang San’s condition and struck at them with Soul Power.
• Grey Wolf’s machine guns failed to penetrate Tang Hao’s shield until armor-piercing rounds wounded his cheek.

• Grey Wolf used an infrasound device that made Tang Hao lose his balance and retch, but Tang Hao began gathering power for a devastating strike.
• Qin Feng redirected the basement’s power into a modified electromagnetic rifle and fired at Tang Hao.

Qin Feng used a modified electromagnetic rifle to injure Tang Hao and drive him away from Notting Academy. With their supplies exhausted, Qin Feng and Grey Wolf prepared to travel to the Soul Hunting Forest to gather materials from Soul Beasts.

• Qin Feng’s tungsten-alloy bullet struck Tang Hao’s Clear Sky Hammer, blasted him into a mountainside, and left a dent in the hammer.
• Qin Feng and Grey Wolf survived the rifle’s recoil, while Yu Xiaogang watched in disbelief as Tang Hao was driven back.
• Tang Hao assessed the danger to himself and Tang San, then fled after warning Qin Feng that their conflict was not over.
• Qin Feng told Yu Xiaogang that Tang Hao had only retreated because the weapon caught him off guard and vowed to build stronger weapons.
• Qin Feng and Grey Wolf decided to leave for the Soul Hunting Forest to collect Soul Beast bones, sinew, and other materials.

Qin Feng, Yu Xiaogang, and Grey Wolf entered the Soul Hunting Forest, where Qin Feng treated the Soul Beasts as sources of materials rather than targets for Soul Rings. After spotting people in danger among a herd of Iron-Hide Savage Bulls, Qin Feng headed over, intending to collect a toll.

• Yu Xiaogang used the Spirit Hall Elder's pass to get the group through the checkpoint, where Xiao Chenyu mocked him and Qin Feng before backing down when Qin Feng threatened him with a gun.
• Qin Feng used his radar to identify Iron-Hide Savage Bulls and Ghost Tigers as sources of useful materials, then led the group southeast toward the bulls.
• Qin Feng killed a Wind Baboon with a steel pellet from his slingshot and dismissed its body as unsuitable for extracting materials.
• The group heard a roar and found human signals mixed among the agitated Iron-Hide Savage Bulls on Qin Feng's radar.
• Qin Feng told Grey Wolf to come with him so they could see what had happened and collect a toll.

Qin Feng used liquid nitrogen to freeze a four-hundred-year-old Datura Snake, then began harvesting it for laboratory materials. After driving off Xiao Chenyu, he learned that a powerful lightning-attribute Soul Beast was nearby and prepared to hunt it for power.

• A Datura Snake attacked Xiao Chenyu and his men, leaving them unable to hurt its iron-hard body or withstand its poisonous mist.
• Qin Feng froze the snake with liquid nitrogen, saving Xiao Chenyu and revealing the weapon’s effectiveness to Yu Xiaogang.
• Qin Feng ordered Grey Wolf to harvest the snake’s hide, tendons, spine, and venom for laboratory uses.
• Xiao Chenyu demanded the Soul Ring and materials, but Qin Feng threatened him with an air-compression cannon and sent him fleeing.
• Grey Wolf’s radar detected a high-energy electromagnetic signal to the north, and Qin Feng prepared to hunt the lightning-attribute Soul Beast as a power source.

Qin Feng used Grey Wolf’s automated defenses to slaughter a Nether Wolf pack and capture its Wolf King for research. A Thunder Tyrannosaurus then approached the camp, and Qin Feng prepared a coilgun to face it and obtain the high-energy battery he wanted.

• Qin Feng’s sentry turrets opened fire when a Nether Wolf pack surrounded the camp, killing the charging wolves.
• The Wolf King activated Bloodlust and tried to ambush Yu Xiaogang, but Qin Feng’s tracking missile anesthetized it.
• Qin Feng ordered Grey Wolf to salvage the wolf corpses and drew blood from the unconscious Wolf King, inspiring Yu Xiaogang to want the same power.
• Qin Feng’s radar detected a powerful Soul Beast approaching, so he told Grey Wolf to retract the turrets and ready a heavy weapon.
• Grey Wolf brought out a crackling coilgun as a thousand-year Thunder Tyrannosaurus emerged from the forest.

Qin Feng and Grey Wolf subdued a Thunder Tyrannosaurus and began turning it into a living power source, while Xiao Wu watched in horror. As Qin Feng finished the conversion, an unfamiliar woman approached and spoke to him.

• Qin Feng and Grey Wolf used a barrier to absorb the Thunder Tyrannosaurus's lightning attack and charge their battery bank.
• Qin Feng trapped the charging tyrannosaur with a Super Gravity Mine and injected it with a nerve blocker.
• Qin Feng rejected Yu Xiaogang's suggestion to kill the beast and began implanting machinery to control it and draw out its electricity.
• Xiao Wu watched from the bushes as Qin Feng and Grey Wolf fitted the living tyrannosaur with tubes and wires, and Yu Xiaogang vomited.
• A woman approached Qin Feng and said that seeing him treat the Soul Beast that way broke her heart.

Qin Feng resisted Hu Liena’s charm, captured her, and collected measurements for his exoskeleton research. He then tracked Tang San to a Ghost Vine and set out with Grey Wolf and Grandmaster to claim the Soul Hunting Forest’s resources.

• Hu Liena used her charm on Qin Feng, but he dispelled it with a chemical spray and explained it as pheromone interference.
• Xiao Wu rushed in to defend Qin Feng, but he lifted her by her ears and tossed her aside.
• Grey Wolf blocked Hu Liena’s attack with a frying pan and knocked her down, while Qin Feng trapped her in an electromagnetic net.
• Qin Feng measured Hu Liena for exoskeleton research, then told Grey Wolf to sedate her and keep her alive.
• Qin Feng spotted Tang San’s signal beside a four-hundred-year-old Ghost Vine and headed there with Grey Wolf and Grandmaster to claim the forest’s resources.

Qin Feng arrived as Tang San completed his first Soul Ring, then used Grey Wolf’s plant-growth formula to overwhelm Tang San’s new Soul Skill and negotiate a sale with Hu Liena. The system rewarded Qin Feng for shattering the world’s expectations by granting him a second summon permit.

• Qin Feng reached the mountain hollow with Grey Wolf, Hu Liena, and Xiao Wu, where Tang San had just finished absorbing a Ghost Vine Soul Ring.
• Tang San attacked Qin Feng with his first Soul Skill, but Grey Wolf cut apart the vines with garden shears.
• Grey Wolf used a growth formula to transform foxtail grass into a giant man-eating plant that smashed Tang San’s vines and sent him tumbling.
• Hu Liena asked to buy the formula, and Qin Feng offered the solution for three million Gold Soul Coins per bottle while demanding rare-metal inventories and an IOU.
• The system recognized Qin Feng’s actions as matching the Mad Scientist persona and awarded him a second summon permit for Scientist of Ten Thousand Worlds.

Qin Feng forced Hu Liena to pay for the inhibitor, then crushed Tang San’s confidence in his traditional understanding of power. After the others left, Qin Feng used his second summoning privilege and brought Orochimaru into the Douluo world.

• Hu Liena signed an IOU for three million Gold Soul Coins and an inventory of Gengxin City’s rare metals in exchange for the inhibitor.
• Qin Feng told Tang San that Martial Souls and Soul Skills were crude uses of energy, and Tang San vowed to defeat his science with Tang Sect Secret Arts.
• Grey Wolf drove Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Chenyu, and the others away from the hollow.
• Qin Feng activated his second Scientist of Ten Thousand Worlds summoning privilege.
• Orochimaru emerged from a rift, alarming Grey Wolf and Xiao Wu with his cold, predatory presence.

Qin Feng welcomed Orochimaru to Douluo Continent and introduced him to its Martial Souls, Soul Rings, and unusual life forms. Orochimaru became fixated on Xiao Wu and then set his sights on Tang San, who sensed the danger as he and Yu Xiaogang left the forest.

• Orochimaru examined the half-mechanical Thunder Tyrannosaurus and eagerly agreed to work with Qin Feng in exchange for specimens.
• Qin Feng explained Twin Martial Souls and Soul Rings, and Orochimaru called the world a paradise for genetic research.
• Orochimaru approached Xiao Wu and asked to cut her open, but Xiao Wu fled behind Grey Wolf, who shielded her with his Frying Pan.
• Qin Feng stopped Orochimaru from examining Xiao Wu for now and pointed him toward Tang San, describing his two Martial Souls and unusual techniques.
• Orochimaru headed into the forest to find Tang San, while Tang San and Yu Xiaogang sensed a terrifying presence watching them as purple lightning revealed Orochimaru atop a giant white python phantom.

Qin Feng and Dr. Orochimaru ambushed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, defeated them, and branded Tang San with the Heaven Cursed Seal. After Tang San passed out, Qin Feng set his sights on buying Nuoding City's blacksmith shops to build an arsenal.

• Tang San unleashed his hidden weapons against Dr. Orochimaru, but Orochimaru swallowed them with snakes emerging from his wounds.
• Yu Xiaogang sent Luo Sanpao to attack Orochimaru, who overwhelmed it and left Yu Xiaogang injured and unconscious.
• Dr. Orochimaru restrained Tang San and bit his shoulder, marking him with the Heaven Cursed Seal as Qin Feng watched.
• Qin Feng explained the seal's dangerous effects, then left Tang San behind with Orochimaru and Grey Wolf after collecting data.
• Qin Feng announced that he would go to Nuoding City to buy every blacksmith shop and build guns and cannons.
• Tang San passed out as the Clear Sky Hammer responded eagerly to the seal, while Qin Feng received a technology-tree unlock and a mission to establish an arsenal and secure the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's cooperation.
