Chapter Summaries

Su Ming refused Ning Fengzhi’s invitation to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, despite the sect’s generous offer and his closeness with Ning Rongrong. He privately told Ning Fengzhi that he wanted to grow strong enough to marry Rongrong and bring her home rather than marry into her family.

Ning Fengzhi offered to supply materials and pay for more, while Tang San worried that Su Ming's invention would outshine his Hidden Weapons.

Tang San tried to secure a cooperation deal with Ning Fengzhi by showcasing his Hidden Weapons, but Ning Fengzhi arranged a match between him and Su Ming instead. The fight began with Tang San dodging Su Ming’s Wood Style attacks while Ning Fengzhi and the others learned about Tang San’s evasive technique.

• Tang San used Purple Demon Eyes and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade Su Ming’s attack, then launched every hidden weapon he carried from behind a screen of Blue Silver Entanglement.

• Tang San revealed his Eight Spider Lances, but Su Ming strengthened the tree until one of the Soul Bones snapped.

• Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to batter the wooden tree wider.
• Su Ming formed hundreds of Wood Thorns and launched them at Tang San.

Su Ming argued that Tang San was likely a reincarnated outsider whose soul had taken over Ah Yin and Tang Hao’s infant son, while Yu Xiaogang revealed Tang San’s parentage to Ning Fengzhi. Ning Fengzhi chose to support Su Ming but insisted Tang San not be seriously harmed, leaving Su Ming poised to continue his attack.

• Yu Xiaogang called for Su Ming to stop, but Su Ming said he could heal Tang San and had Ning Fengzhi’s help.
• Su Ming told Ah Yin that Tang San’s Hidden Weapons and techniques suggested he had crossed over from another world, then questioned whether her infant son could have survived the battle with Spirit Hall.

• Ning Fengzhi decided to stand with Su Ming while protecting Tang San’s foundation, and Ning Rongrong understood that her father was supporting Su Ming.

Su Ming defeated Tang San and negotiated with Ning Fengzhi to supply talismans to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He revealed that making Space Talismans required blood essence from someone with space skills, and Gu Rong reluctantly provided two drops.

After Ning Fengzhi paid Su Ming for his talismans and warned him about Tang Hao, Su Ming left Shrek with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members while considering a move to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and a visit to Gengxin City.

• Gu Rong gave Su Ming two drops of essence blood, and Su Ming used his Fourth Spirit Skill to help Gu Rong recover.

• Su Ming refused to give away the skill, pointing out that Ning Fengzhi had already rewarded him for teaching it to Ning Rongrong.

• The female leads watching the Live Stream compared Su Ming’s talismans with Tang San’s Hidden Weapons and reacted with disgust when Yu Xiaogang demanded Lingbo Weibu.
• Su Ming told Yu Xiaogang that he had known his classmates for less than two months and asked why Tang San should not also share the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
• Tang San realized Su Ming had exposed that his claim about needing to cripple one’s cultivation was uncertain, but he still did not want to reveal the Tang Sect arts.
• Su Ming pointed out that Ning had let him learn the Mind-Splitting Control Secret Method and offered to trade Lingbo Weibu for Yu Xiaogang’s Dragon Transformation Secret Method.
• Yu Xiaogang admitted he had not learned the full secret method and warned that Su Ming could not cultivate it without a Dragon-type Martial Soul, but Su Ming insisted it was the only acceptable exchange.

Su Ming negotiated with Yu Xiaogang over exchanging Lingbo Weibu for the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, while Tang San refused to teach Oscar the Mysterious Heaven Skill for now. After leaving, Su Ming explained that the exchange depended on Yu Xiaogang obtaining permission and hinted to Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing that they might leave Shrek before long.

• Oscar asked Su Ming to teach him Lingbo Weibu, but Su Ming said Oscar would need to learn from Tang San and suggested the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track if Tang San shared the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
• Tang San refused to hand over the Mysterious Heaven Skill for now and promised he might teach it to Oscar if Oscar joined the Tang Sect he planned to establish.
• Yu Xiaogang said he would consider exchanging the first level of the Dragon Transformation Secret Method and would need to consult his father and clan.
