Chapter Summaries

Su Ming considered whether to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, while Ah Yin gained Life Attribute Mastery and a major cultivation boost from the system. Three days later, Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San prepared to leave for Nuoding Academy and investigate Shrek Academy.

• Su Ming weighed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's flight and healing skills against his existing abilities and decided to postpone absorbing it.

• Ah Yin secretly accepted Life Attribute Mastery and gained 10,000 years of cultivation, bringing her total increase that day to 30,000 years.
• Three days later, Su Ming asked Tang San whether Master would travel with them, and Tang San said his teacher had chosen to wait.
• Xiao Wu urged Su Ming and Tang San to set out, eager to see Shrek Academy and meet Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San arrived in Suotuo City and booked rooms at the Rose Hotel, where Dai Mubai appeared and demanded one of their rooms. Xiao Wu refused him, leaving the two groups facing off as the hotel attendant worried about the trouble she had caused.

• Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San reached Suotuo City, explored the city, and chose to stay at the Rose Hotel.
• The attendant claimed only two rooms were available, so Su Ming and Xiao Wu agreed to share one while Tang San took the other.
• Dai Mubai arrived with two Twins and asked the three to give him a room, arguing that they could share one room together.
• Xiao Wu rejected Dai Mubai's request, and the attendant feared she would be blamed for the brewing confrontation.

Su Ming challenged Dai Mubai over the hotel room dispute and revealed that he was a Level Forty-Three Soul Ancestor, shocking Dai Mubai. Their fight began with Su Ming easily evading Dai Mubai’s attacks and blocking his White Tiger Rending Light Wave with a powerful wooden barrier.

• Dai Mubai proposed a match over the hotel room, and Su Ming set a wager of one hundred Gold Soul Coins and hotel damage compensation if Dai Mubai lost.

• Dai Mubai agreed to use his third Spirit Skill and attacked Su Ming, who dodged his punch with Lingbo Weibu.
• Dai Mubai fired White Tiger Rending Light Wave, but Su Ming blocked it with his Wood Stake Wall, leaving Dai Mubai stunned by the defense.

Zhu Zhuqing discovered Dai Mubai indulging himself with the Twins and watched Su Ming defeat him, extinguishing her remaining hope in her fiancé. After reading Su Ming’s diary, she decided to focus on becoming stronger and grew curious about whether staying near Su Ming could change her fate.

• Dai Mubai conceded defeat to Su Ming, asked whether Su Ming and his companions would attend Shrek Academy, and left with the Twins.
• Zhu Zhuqing recalled arriving at the Rose Hotel by chance, seeing Dai Mubai with the Twins, and watching Su Ming fight him before abandoning her plan to confront him.
• Su Ming sensed Zhu Zhuqing hiding nearby and wrote in his diary about her disappointment in Dai Mubai and her reasons for cultivating.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu read Su Ming’s diary, and Zhu Zhuqing realized he had detected her with his powerful Spiritual Power.
• After reading about Dai Mubai’s past behavior, Zhu Zhuqing gave up hoping he would change and decided to focus on growing stronger while considering whether Su Ming might alter her fate.

Su Ming gave Xiao Wu a Bunny Girl outfit and watched her try it on, then wrote about her appearance in his Diary, embarrassing her and irritating the other girls. At midnight, his rewards increased Ah Yin’s cultivation and granted Su Ming Life Attribute Mastery, though he mistakenly believed the rewards were entirely new.

• Su Ming remembered the outfits he had received from the system and offered Xiao Wu a Bunny Girl outfit and a maid outfit to try on.
• Xiao Wu changed into the Bunny Girl outfit, and Su Ming praised her appearance and suggested she wear it when they were alone.
• Su Ming wrote about Xiao Wu’s outfit and compared her figure with Zhu Zhuqing’s, causing Xiao Wu to grow embarrassed and angry while the other girls called him a pervert.
• At midnight, the system increased Ah Yin’s cultivation by ten thousand years and granted Su Ming Life Attribute Mastery.
• Su Ming celebrated the rewards without realizing that the system was unsealing Ah Yin’s existing cultivation and granting him an ability he would eventually obtain anyway.

Zhu Zhuqing received the upper volume of the Nine Yin Manual, while Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San visited a shop where Tang San bought a valuable crystal from Flender. Flender recognized Tang San as Xiao Gang’s disciple and gave him the crystal for free, anticipating Xiao Gang’s arrival.

• Zhu Zhuqing received the upper volume of the Nine Yin Manual as her system reward.
• Su Ming and Xiao Wu encountered Tang San and let him accompany them around the city.

• Flender recognized Tang San’s Soul Tool belt as a gift from his teacher, Xiao Gang, and offered him the crystal for free.
• Tang San paid for the crystal anyway, while Flender expected Xiao Gang to arrive soon.

Tang San demonstrated the Dragon Whisker Needle and tested it against Su Ming’s defenses. The needle shattered Su Ming’s old Wood Stake Wall but failed to pierce his upgraded Wood World Wall, leaving Tang San shocked.

• Tang San broke the Board Crystal into golden grains and showed Su Ming and Xiao Wu how the Dragon Whisker Needle twisted and destroyed a quilt.
• Su Ming asked Tang San to test the needle against his defense, and Tang San shattered Su Ming’s unenhanced Wood Stake Wall.
• Su Ming told Tang San that the old defense was no longer suitable and revealed his upgraded First Spirit Skill, Wood World Wall.
• Tang San fired the Dragon Whisker Needle at the Wood World Wall, but it burst after piercing only halfway and could not penetrate the wall.
• The Wood World Wall quickly recovered, and Tang San was shocked that his powerful Hidden Weapon could not break through Su Ming’s improved defense.

Su Ming encouraged Tang San to use the Dragon Whisker Needle during Shrek Academy’s entrance test, secretly hoping Tang San would attack Zhao Wuji while Su Ming revealed some of his own strength. After damaging their room, Su Ming took Xiao Wu back to cultivate and write in his diary.

• Tang San tested the Dragon Whisker Needle against Su Ming’s Wood Stake Wall, then lost confidence when Su Ming’s Wood World Wall stopped it.
• Su Ming told Tang San the needle could pierce defense-enhancing Spirit Skills and suggested he use it during the entrance test, while Xiao Wu helped reassure him.
• Tang San agreed to adapt to the situation and show his abilities if the academy teachers tested them.
• After the tests left the room wrecked, Tang San changed rooms and paid for the damage while Su Ming refused to contribute.
• Su Ming returned to his room with Xiao Wu and pretended to cultivate while writing in his diary.

The girls read Su Ming’s diary about Shrek Academy’s harsh admission standards and the applicants who passed them. Ning Rongrong took Su Ming’s criticism of her past cultivation and personality personally, but believed her current efforts would let her surpass Zhu Zhuqing.

• Xiao Wu and the others wondered whether the Dragon Whisker Needle could truly shred flesh after entering a Soul Master’s body.
• The diary explained that Shrek required applicants to be under twelve, reach Soul Power Level 20, and have two yellow Soul Rings, while its ten-Gold-Soul-Coin fee was nonrefundable.
• The girls learned that applicants above Level 25 with optimal Soul Rings could skip the second and third trials, and Bibi Dong criticized Shrek’s admission demands.
• Su Ming compared Ning Rongrong’s past Level 26 at enrollment unfavorably with Zhu Zhuqing’s Level 27, prompting Ning Rongrong to vow that she would not fall behind this time.
• Su Ming described Ning Rongrong’s early personality as obnoxious, and Ning Rongrong angrily demanded that he explain himself.

The Diary described Ning Rongrong's arrogant behavior at Shrek Academy, leaving her and the others embarrassed and wary of her past self. Bibi Dong ordered Ju Hua Guan to investigate Shrek, while the women reacted with disgust to Dai Mubai's threat against Ning Rongrong.

• The Diary recounted how Ning Rongrong skipped Flender's training run, lied about finishing it, and threatened him by invoking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing read about Ning Rongrong's behavior and worried about living with her, while Ning Rongrong felt mortified.
• The Diary revealed Shrek Academy's demanding graduation requirements, prompting Bibi Dong to order Ju Hua Guan to gather information about the academy.
• At the Soul Fighting Arena, Zhu Zhuqing refused to team up with Dai Mubai, leaving Tang San and Xiao Wu as the only two-person team.
• After Ning Rongrong mocked Dai Mubai, he grabbed her by the throat and threatened to rape and kill her, worsening her and Zhu Zhuqing's impressions of him.

Su Ming recounted Tang San’s future fight with Zhao Wuji and planned to help him win the next day while protecting Xiao Wu from injury. At midnight, Su Ming received a critical-hit reward containing a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, and the knowledge of Grandmaster of Talisman Crafting.

• Su Ming described how Tang San’s duel with Zhao Wuji ended in victory after Tang San used Hidden Weapons, including Dragon Whisker Needles, and the women were astonished by his strength.
• Su Ming planned to assist Tang San with Wood Style and a new move in the upcoming assessment, while using Tang San’s display to make his own strength seem less surprising to Tang Hao.
• Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue learned that Tang Hao intended Tang San and his companions to oppose Spirit Hall, and they considered making plans against them.
• Su Ming worried that Tang Hao might eventually target Xiao Wu, and the system guessed that Tang Hao would wait until Tang San reached Soul Douluo level.
• At midnight, Su Ming received a critical-hit reward: a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, and Grandmaster of Talisman Crafting.
• Su Ming decided to keep the talisman-making methods secret while he learned to craft talismans, which he believed could transform the Douluo Continent.

Su Ming received rewards that included a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, and knowledge of talisman crafting, while Ning Rongrong earned a Hundred Thousand Year Left Arm Soul Bone. At Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing met, became friends through their Diaries, and Ning Rongrong asked Zhu Zhuqing about her figure.

• Su Ming received a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, and the Grandmaster of Talisman Crafting reward, then learned that talisman materials and paper would make practice difficult.
• Su Ming decided to practice drawing talisman runes on ordinary paper while he waited for proper materials.
• Ning Rongrong received a Hundred Thousand Year Left Arm Soul Bone after her name was mentioned frequently in Su Ming's Diary, and she stored it in her Soul Tool.
• Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San arrived at Shrek Academy, where Xiao Wu complained about its shabby appearance and Tang San tried to defend it.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing met near Shrek Academy, recognized each other as Diary owners, and added each other as friends.
• Ning Rongrong asked Zhu Zhuqing how her chest had grown so large, and Zhu Zhuqing attributed it to her family's Martial Soul.

Su Ming confronted Shrek Academy over its refusal to refund enrollment fees, and Xiao Wu volunteered to fight Dai Mubai after a time-limited mission appeared. The chapter ended as Xiao Wu prepared to challenge him.

• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Shrek Academy and joined the enrollment line.
• An elderly inspector rejected an over-age applicant and refused to return his enrollment fee, prompting the applicant's father to accuse the academy of scamming them.
• Dai Mubai came out to handle the dispute and offered to refund the fee if someone defeated him.
• Su Ming stepped forward to challenge Dai Mubai, but Xiao Wu asked to fight in his place after a mission appeared offering a mysterious reward for defeating Dai Mubai.
• Xiao Wu faced Dai Mubai, while Tang San cautioned her to be careful and Dai Mubai worried about hurting her.

Xiao Wu challenged Dai Mubai to a fight, revealing her level thirty-nine strength and overwhelming him with a series of powerful kicks. Dai Mubai tried to regain the initiative with his second Spirit Skill, but Xiao Wu used Teleport to evade it.

• Dai Mubai offered to cover the registration fees if Xiao Wu defeated him, and they revealed their Spirit levels and Soul Rings.
• Xiao Wu surprised Dai Mubai by revealing she was level thirty-nine, while the onlookers recognized her disguised purple Soul Rings.
• Xiao Wu used Waist Bow to kick Dai Mubai and repeatedly drove him backward despite his White Tiger Body Protection Shield.
• Dai Mubai launched White Tiger Rending Light Wave, and Xiao Wu used Teleport to appear several meters away.

Xiao Wu used her Spirit Skills to defeat Dai Mubai in a duel, leaving him humiliated before the onlookers. She ended the fight by kicking him toward Li Yusong, and Dai Mubai realized that her Charm skill had fooled him.

• Tang San learned that Xiao Wu's third Spirit Skill was Teleport, while Li Yusong recognized her potential and resolved to enroll her.
• Dai Mubai used his third Spirit Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and tried to wear Xiao Wu down by forcing her to Teleport.
• Xiao Wu used Charm to make Dai Mubai imagine the twins from the Rose Hotel tempting him, and he responded lecherously in front of everyone.
• Su Ming told Xiao Wu to end the fight, so she used Charm again, Teleported beside Dai Mubai, and kicked him toward Li Yusong.
• Dai Mubai recovered, found the twins gone, and realized Xiao Wu had hit him with Charm.

Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San enrolled in Shrek Academy after Li Yusong refunded the other applicants’ fees and confirmed their exceptional abilities. Su Ming healed Dai Mubai, turning him green, before Dai Mubai called for other qualified applicants to step forward.

• Xiao Wu’s Charm made Dai Mubai mistake Li Yusong for her, and Li Yusong struck Dai Mubai to break the effect.
• Li Yusong agreed to refund the registration fees and invited Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San to enroll.
• Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Su Ming tested at Soul Power Levels thirty-nine, thirty, and forty-three, respectively, and Su Ming revealed four Soul Rings.
• Su Ming used Withered Wood Meets Spring to heal Dai Mubai, whose body turned green.
• Dai Mubai called for qualified applicants, and Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong stepped forward.

Su Ming was shocked when Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing revealed unexpectedly high Soul Power Levels, and the system offered him no firm explanation. As the group headed to Shrek Academy’s fourth test, Su Ming wrote in his Diary about the academy’s registration-fee scheme and his strength.

• Ning Rongrong displayed Level Thirty-Four Soul Power, and Zhu Zhuqing revealed Level Thirty-Five, leaving Su Ming, Tang San, and the others astonished.
• Su Ming questioned the system about their strength, and it suggested either a butterfly effect or a Parallel World; Xiao Wu secretly added Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as friends.
• Dai Mubai reflected on his past treatment of Zhu Zhuqing, while Zhu Zhuqing decided she would rather rely on Su Ming than stay by Dai Mubai’s side.
• Dai Mubai led the group to the fourth test and quietly asked Su Ming to go easy on him, but Su Ming said the others would have to decide.
• Su Ming wrote in his Diary that he could potentially defeat Li Yusong and criticized Shrek Academy for keeping registration fees from applicants who failed its entrance test.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing discussed their Soul Power and the unexpected levels they displayed during Shrek Academy’s entrance test. Su Ming suspected the system had altered events but could not determine why, while the girls decided to answer honestly if he asked about their Innate Soul Power.

• Xiao Wu told Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong about Flender’s shop and its prices, and Ning Rongrong joked that the cost was insignificant to her.
• Ning Rongrong said the system had raised her to Innate Full Soul Power and that her father had named her the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s heir.
• Zhu Zhuqing revealed that her Innate Soul Power had become level nine, and Ning Rongrong concluded that Zhu Zhuqing had worked harder than she had.
• Su Ming noted that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had displayed Soul Power Levels thirty-four and thirty-five, far above the levels he expected, and wondered whether the system had changed the world.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing agreed to tell Su Ming the truth about their Innate Soul Power and leave the system to explain the discrepancy.

Su Ming and the others reached Shrek Academy’s fourth trial, where Zhao Wuji changed the test into a group endurance challenge against himself. Dai Mubai revealed that Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint, leaving the five applicants to prepare for a trial far more dangerous than they expected.

• Dai Mubai explained that the fourth trial tested combat ability, and Xiao Wu criticized Shrek Academy’s rules and poor enrollment.
• Dai Mubai said Shrek had admitted only forty-two students in total and relied on his family’s sponsorship to stay open.
• Zhao Wuji appeared, examined the five applicants, and ordered them to withstand his attacks for the time it took an incense stick to burn.
• Dai Mubai protested that Zhao Wuji had replaced the usual test against him, but Zhao Wuji dismissed the objection and began the preparation period.
• Tang San assumed the group could last against a Soul King, but Dai Mubai revealed that Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint and the academy’s vice dean.
