Chapter Summaries

At the Sea God Pavilion meeting, Huo Yuhao absorbed Shrek’s Fortune while the elders set policies toward other powers and planned a firm stance against the Sun Moon Empire. As the meeting ended, Huo Yuhao revealed that Mu En had left behind a Dragon Pill that could help Xuan Zi break through to Limit Douluo.

• Zhang Lexuan stepped aside from competing to lead the Sea God Pavilion, but retained her observer’s seat as the elders considered giving her early access to Shrek’s authority.
• Huo Yuhao used his heir status to absorb more of Shrek’s Fortune during the meeting.
• The elders agreed to maintain normal friendly relations with the three Douluo kingdoms, favor forces that had helped during the Beast Tide, and keep a wary eye on the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School.

• Huo Yuhao told Xuan Zi that Mu En had left behind an item that could help him reach Limit Douluo, then opened a red brocade box containing the Dragon Pill.

Huo Yuhao gave Mu En’s Dragon Pill to Xuan Zi, who accepted it after learning it could help him reach the Limit Realm. Later, Huo Yuhao went to a hidden cultivation chamber to review his gains and summon his Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul.

• Huo Yuhao explained that Mu En had purified the Dragon Pill and that it could help a suitable person condense a Second Soul Core and break through the Limit Realm.
• Xuan Zi refused the Dragon Pill at first, arguing that Huo Yuhao was a better match for it, but accepted it after Huo Yuhao insisted.
• After the Sea God Pavilion meeting ended, Huo Yuhao slipped away to a secluded courtyard and entered its hidden cultivation chamber.
• Huo Yuhao summoned his Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul and assessed its strengthened soul rings, abilities, and remaining need to develop its bloodline.

Huo Yuhao assessed the Healing Angel Puppet, Evil Eye, and Ghost Banner Martial Souls after the Beast Tide, noting their abilities and upgrades. He then attacked the awakened spirit inside the Ghost Banner’s blood-red sphere, and it begged him to spare its life and offered to submit.

• Huo Yuhao summoned the Healing Angel Puppet Martial Soul, examined her Level Ninety-Nine cultivation and two Beast King Soul Rings, and planned to find her a suitable righteous path technique.
• Huo Yuhao reviewed the Evil Eye Martial Soul’s seven awakened potentials and planned to reserve its remaining Soul Rings for Ferocious Beasts.

• Huo Yuhao used the Evil God Spear to attack the awakened artifact spirit hiding in the Ghost Banner’s blood-red sphere.
• The artifact spirit caught the Evil God Spear with blood-red hands and begged Huo Yuhao to spare it, offering to submit.

Huo Yuhao killed the newly awakened artifact spirit inside the Ghost Banner Martial Soul after learning it could create Blood Puppets, and the Evil God Spear devoured it. The Bloodlust Domain was left badly damaged, and Huo Yuhao called for Eunuch Gao to appear.

• The artifact spirit begged Huo Yuhao to spare it, then revealed its ability to create Blood Puppets from blood absorbed by the Bloodlust Domain.

• Huo Yuhao sent Eunuch Gao into the shattered sphere to become its new artifact spirit.
• The Bloodlust Domain transformed Eunuch Gao's Heavenly Crippled Earth Sunflower into the Blood Slaughter Earth Sunflower and raised his soul power to rank 90.
• Huo Yuhao completed the refinement, and the orb gave Eunuch Gao a Blood Qi soul ring that let him reach rank 91 and briefly double the Bloodlust Domain's effects.
• Huo Yuhao named the artifact the Blood Slaughter Orb and withdrew it together with the Ghost Banner Martial Soul.
• Eunuch Gao thanked Huo Yuhao, pledged to follow his commands, and offered to lead the way at the Duke's Mansion and Star Luo Imperial Palace.

• Huo Yuhao sent Eunuch Gao back into the Blood Slaughter Orb to rest and adapted to his new artifact spirit.
• Huo Yuhao absorbed the orb’s wind, lightning, evil, strength, space, and time attributes, awakening new eyes.
• The orb also revealed spirit and sacred attributes, which Huo Yuhao absorbed without conflict with his Evil attribute.
• Huo Yuhao named his eight-attribute eyes the Evil God’s Eye and decided to postpone fusing Mu En’s Soul Bone until he could undergo tribulation elsewhere.
• Inside the Ghost Banner Martial Soul, Eunuch Gao joined Electrolux, He Caitou, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the gathered ghosts as factions formed among them.
• Huo Yuhao used a crude dual-cultivation technique on the controlled Zi Ji to extract her two-hundred-thousand-year Original Yin and strengthen his physique.

After harvesting Zi Ji, Huo Yuhao absorbed her essence, soul, and Hell Demon Dragon King soul ring, gaining two powerful soul skills and condensing his third Blood Essence Soul Ring. The chapter left him with a newly awakened Heavenly Dragon Bloodline and a combined bloodline technique he postponed testing to avoid damaging the courtyard and exposing his secret.

• Huo Yuhao sensed that his White Tiger and Heavenly Dragon bloodline powers could be combined, but he delayed testing the technique to protect his secret.

Huo Yuhao absorbed Zi Ji's torso soul bone, completing his six-part soul bone set and strengthening his physique enough to absorb the Ice Empress's soul ring. After revealing his breakthrough to Shrek Academy, he met the recovering Xuan Zi, who prepared to enter closed-door cultivation and began teaching him his self-created soul skill, Ring Devour.

• Huo Yuhao summoned Zi Ji's soul to guard him and absorbed her torso soul bone, which devoured his previously fused spinal soul bones and ribs.

• Xuan Zi met Huo Yuhao after taking the Dragon Pill, thanked him for giving it up, and announced he would pass on his self-created soul skill before entering closed-door cultivation.
• Xuan Zi began teaching Huo Yuhao his self-created soul skill, Ring Devour.

• Xuan Zi asked Huo Yuhao about the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Detonation, then explained its history and the feats of its creator, Tang Chen.
• Xuan Zi praised Huo Yuhao's talent and urged him to show more domineering spirit as the Sea God Pavilion's successor.

• Huo Yuhao praised the technique's power while privately thinking that he had already learned it.

Huo Yuhao tested Xuan Zi’s Devouring Ring Secret Technique and considered expanding it to absorb other people’s soul ring energy, while his cultivation sessions with Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Wei Na strengthened them all. As Shrek Academy recovered from the Beast Tide and rewarded its contributors, Huo Yuhao saw no remaining obstacle to taking over the academy, only a need for the right opportunity.

• Huo Yuhao pretended to learn Xuan Zi’s Devouring Ring Secret Technique, then secretly used his Torso Bone’s devouring attribute to empower his Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul with its own soul ring energy.
• Huo Yuhao recognized that draining soul rings weakened their soul skills and considered developing the technique to absorb other people’s soul ring energy.
• Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Wei Na joined Huo Yuhao for dual cultivation, strengthening their bloodlines and physiques as Wei Na advanced to level 53.
• Shrek Academy rebuilt its damaged South City Wall, restored its standing after the Beast Tide, and rewarded the families of the fallen and the surviving contributors.
• Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Wei Na received soul bones and resources, with Shrek Academy promising each a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring upon reaching level 90.

Huo Yuhao welcomed Shrek Academy’s visiting graduates and recorded their family and sect connections, seeing them as potential recruits and targets. He then received a Heaven Dou Empire delegation, whose elder believed Wei Na was helping the empire influence Shrek, while Huo Yuhao knew she was loyal to him and had already reported Shrek’s secrets.

• Huo Yuhao received former Shrek graduates who brought supplies and gifts, and he recorded their identities, martial souls, and family connections in his notebook.

• A Heaven Dou Empire elder spoke warmly with Huo Yuhao and asked about his relationship with Wei Na, smiling when he heard they cultivated together in Shrek’s Inner Court.
• Huo Yuhao knew Wei Na’s private letters had revealed Shrek Academy’s situation to Heaven Dou, but contained nothing harmful to him; he welcomed the potential conflict between the empire and the academy.

Du Busi secretly met with Wei Na to discuss Huo Yuhao, the Beast Tide, and the Body Sect and Heaven Dou Empire’s plans. He told Wei Na to stay close to Huo Yuhao and bring him to Heaven Dou City when the opportunity arose, while he planned to contact and recruit Huo Yuhao there.

Huo Yuhao received the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires’ representatives, refusing to commit Shrek Academy to helping Star Luo while meeting the Dou Ling delegation in a relaxed manner. That night, Tu Xijun summoned him to a hotel room, where she asked him to satisfy both her and her uneasy follower, Taylor.

• Huo Yuhao treated Xu Jiujiu and Man Yi formally, and he avoided agreeing to Star Luo’s hoped-for request for Shrek Academy’s aid.

• Crown Prince Xue Hui and Tu Xijun delivered the Dou Ling Empire’s resources and decided to stay in Shrek City for sightseeing.
• Huo Yuhao followed the knocks specified in a letter and entered a hotel room, where Tu Xijun pulled him onto the bed as Taylor stood nearby.
• Tu Xijun told Huo Yuhao to fill both her and Taylor up.

Tu Xijun told Huo Yuhao that her family was still weighing whether to let her join Shrek Academy, and he revealed that he was the heir to the Sea God Pavilion. Their renewed intimacy helped draw Phoenix Qi into the Snow Lotus within Huo Yuhao, where a seven-colored domain embryo began to form.

• Tu Xijun described how her family had resisted her wish to join Shrek Academy but reconsidered after learning about Huo Yuhao and Dragon God Douluo.

Huo Yuhao settled into a busy routine at Shrek Academy, cultivating, expanding his Fan Club, and meeting Zhu Lu and Nan Shuishui. After stabilizing his Zen Master realm, he prepared to cultivate divine abilities by cutting the skin from his left palm.

• Tu Xijun and Taylor left Shrek City with Xue Hui, and Huo Yuhao gave them cultivation arts suited to their abilities.

• Huo Yuhao helped Zhu Lu replenish her Yin Yang Golden Flower Art and received the Ice Pole Divine Crystal from Nan Shuishui.
• After stabilizing his Zen Master realm, Huo Yuhao began preparing to cultivate divine abilities by slicing the skin from his left palm with an ice blade.

Huo Yuhao used the Demon Buddha Method to fuse Sky Dream Molted Skin with his left hand, borrowing its power to cultivate an acquired miraculous trait. The fusion succeeded, and a powerful force began gestating in his hand.

• Huo Yuhao peeled the skin from his left hand and wrapped the exposed flesh in Sky Dream Molted Skin.
• Huo Yuhao circulated his improved Demon Buddha Method to fuse the Molted Skin with his flesh and blood.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on how cultivators could obtain divine abilities through self-comprehension, learning from others, or borrowing power.

• Di Tian suspected Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and the Star Luo Empire in Jin Qiuer’s case, while he searched for the traces left by whoever had attacked Zi Ji.
• Jin Qiuer asked to see Di Tian and said she wanted to help him with Zi Ji’s matter.

Di Tian confronted Shrek Academy’s elders about the Annihilation Demonic Light left where Zi Ji disappeared, and Xuan Zi identified it as resembling Shattered Star Douluo’s power. The elders blamed a powerful Evil Soul Master force, possibly based in the Sun Moon Empire, leaving Di Tian suspicious of the empire and worried that Zi Ji might be controlled.

• Di Tian summoned Xuan Zi and Shrek Academy’s powerhouses, then showed them the Annihilation Demonic Light aura found where Zi Ji vanished.
• Xuan Zi recognized the aura as similar to the power of Shattered Star Douluo, who had disappeared months earlier.
• Old Lin said Shattered Star Douluo and another Super Douluo may have been killed by Evil Soul Masters, and explained that a Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master had appeared in the Far North Land.
• Di Tian demanded to know where the Evil Soul Masters were, and Xuan Zi said Shrek Academy suspected they were hiding in the Sun Moon Empire.
• Old Lin suggested the Sun Moon Empire may also have been behind Zi Ji’s disappearance, pointing to Mingde Hall’s strength.

Di Tian revealed that Jin Qiuer had awakened after someone tampered with her soul, prompting Shrek Academy to plan an investigation at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Huo Yuhao practiced Soul Intertwining with Zi Ji, while Jin Qiuer asked to seek out whoever harmed her and Di Tian ordered her back to the Core Region.

• Di Tian told Shrek Academy that Jin Qiuer had awakened and that someone had interfered with her soul, then left without accepting their thanks.
• Xuan Zi agreed with Yan Shaozhe that Jin Qiuer was no longer part of Shrek Academy and assigned Xian Lin'er to investigate at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

• Di Tian revealed Jin Qiuer, who had been hidden nearby, and told her that Shrek Academy had valued her human identity rather than her as the Auspicious Beast.
• Jin Qiuer asked to go to the Sun Moon Empire to find whoever had harmed her, but Di Tian refused and ordered her back to the Core Region for Bi Ji to teach her.

A year passed without a major conflict as Huo Yuhao quietly cultivated at Shrek Academy and the continent’s forces regrouped. At Mu En’s grave, Huo Yuhao said he would leave to temper himself and return for the next Soul Master Competition, while Zhang Lexuan resolved to grow stronger too.
