Chapter Summaries

Xiao Wu defeated Tang San in sparring with her Teleport and Waist Bow, while Yu Xiaogang criticized the fighters’ decisions and gave them tactical advice. The chapter ended with Xiao Wu questioning his advice about how she should have fought Tang San.

• Xiao Wu used Teleport to bypass Tang San’s Spider Web Restraint, then threw him to the ground with Waist Bow.
• Yu Xiaogang stopped the sparring match and asked Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar to assess their performance.
• Yun Feng challenged Dai Mubai’s claim that he would have won with full Soul Power and pointed out his tactical errors.
• Yu Xiaogang criticized Ma Hongjun and Oscar for leaving Oscar vulnerable, then advised Tang San to control himself and avoid carelessness.
• Yu Xiaogang praised Xiao Wu’s Teleport but said she should have moved out of Tang San’s attack range before continuing, and Xiao Wu privately questioned his advice.

Yu Xiaogang assigned the Shrek students a long-distance run with weighted baskets as punishment, hoping to demonstrate that his training was superior to Yun Feng’s. The group set off, unaware that Yu Xiaogang had secretly switched the stones, while an observer questioned whether the task was excessively harsh.

• Yu Xiaogang ordered the students to run from the academy to Suotuo City and back ten times without Soul Power, giving Tang San twelve rounds.
• Ning Rongrong challenged Yu Xiaogang’s reasoning, and Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also hesitated to accept the punishment.
• Yu Xiaogang said the run was meant to build teamwork, and Yun Feng agreed to take part so the girls would not be singled out.
• At the academy gate, Yu Xiaogang assigned each student a named bamboo basket containing stones of different sizes, with Yun Feng’s basket appearing largest.
• After the students ran off, Yu Xiaogang revealed that he had switched the stones to challenge Yun Feng and prove his training was better.

Yu Xiaogang defended his demanding training plan to Flender, while Tang San recognized the weighted run as a test of teamwork and gathered the others to find a way to finish together. The group agreed not to cheat, and Tang San proposed redistributing their stones to manage the fixed total weight.

• Yu Xiaogang told Flender that the punishment would train the students and build their trust in one another, then promised to find a solution to the Academy's funding shortage.

• Tang San suggested that the group redistribute its fixed total weight and asked Oscar to hand over his stones.

Yun Feng completed Yu Xiaogang’s weighted running test far ahead of the others, leaving Yu Xiaogang stunned by his stamina and strength. He then returned to help the struggling group, carrying Ning Rongrong back while Zhu Zhuqing refused his assistance.

• Yun Feng carried the stones for Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong and urged the group to run together at the slowest person’s pace.
• After the first round trip, Yun Feng suddenly accelerated with several people’s loads and ran ahead of the group.
• Yu Xiaogang supervised the students’ rounds, giving them each one cup of salted warm water before sending them back out.
• Yun Feng completed all ten trips while the others were still on their third, then sat down and drank water beside Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to make Yun Feng food so he could observe his stamina, and Yun Feng ran back to the group.
• Yun Feng found Zhu Zhuqing near her limit, but she refused help, so he carried the nearly unconscious Ning Rongrong back instead.

Yun Feng helped the exhausted girls finish the run while Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun struggled to complete Yu Xiaogang’s grueling training. After the students collapsed, they were taken for recovery, and Tang San woke in a medicinal bath with Ma Hongjun.

• Yun Feng caught Zhu Zhuqing when she collapsed, then carried her and Xiao Wu back to the starting point while Tang San and the others continued running.

• Yun Feng asked to be taken along because he was exhausted, and Yu Xiaogang agreed despite his irritation.
• Zhu Zhuqing woke in a medicinal bath with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong nearby, while Tang San woke naked in a wooden tub beside the still-unconscious Ma Hongjun and recognized the restorative herbs in the bath.

Tang San, Yun Feng, and the others recovered from their exhausting training, ate dinner, and read the Grandmaster's instructions for the night. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing learned that Yun Feng had checked on them after training and asked whether he had seen them unclothed, leaving them relieved but emotionally unsettled by his answer.

• Tang San washed off the medicinal liquid, found the Grandmaster's note, and went to the cafeteria to eat with Yun Feng.
• Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Yun Feng discussed the harsh training and the effects of the strange liquid.
• Xiao Wu arrived hungry and ate before signaling to Yun Feng that she wanted to talk afterward.
• Zhu Zhuqing joined them and ate quietly while Yun Feng watched Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Wu asked Yun Feng whether he had seen her unclothed while she soaked, and Yun Feng said village women had removed her clothes and he had not been involved.

After three months of Yu Xiaogang's demanding training, Yun Feng reached level fifty and secretly left Shrek Academy for the Star Dou Forest to obtain his fifth Spirit Ring. He headed deeper into the forest, seeking a Spirit Beast whose age met the known twelve-thousand-year limit for a fifth ring.

• Yu Xiaogang praised the group's teamwork, then sent Tang San to finish the previous day's punishment while training began.
• Over the next three months, the Shrek group practiced combat and strenuous physical exercises, improving their bodies despite little Soul Power growth.
• The group registered their Spirit Master ranks in Suotuo City while wearing masks and received their subsidies.
• Yun Feng's completed Advice-Listening Quest raised his Soul Power from level forty-six to level fifty, a change he kept secret.
• Yun Feng left Shrek Academy alone, used Ah Yin's Spirit Bone to fly quickly, and reached the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
• Yun Feng chose to venture deeper into the forest in search of a Spirit Ring suited to his fifth-ring limit.

Yun Feng hunted a twenty-thousand-year Fire Cloud Silkworm with his sniper rifle and drew out its Spirit Ring. Back at the academy, Ma Hongjun returned from Suotuo City badly beaten, and Tang San and Oscar took him to eat so he could explain what happened.

• Yun Feng spotted a Fire Cloud Silkworm and shot it from a distance with his prepared Sniper Rifle, then used his Soul Power to draw out its Spirit Ring.
• Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing found Yun Feng’s note saying he would be away for a few days, while the others spent their break resting, training, and assembling Hidden Weapons.
• Tang San assembled components for several Hidden Weapons while Oscar slept, and a day passed before Oscar woke him for dinner.
• Tang San and Oscar encountered a bruised and battered Ma Hongjun, who said a creepy old man had beaten him.
• Tang San supported Ma Hongjun and Oscar gave him a Recovery Big Sausage, then they headed to the cafeteria to hear what had happened.

After Ma Hongjun returned from Suotuo City badly beaten by a Soul Ancestor named Bu Le, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Oscar agreed to accompany him and confront the man. They ate first while Ma Hongjun described Bu Le’s unusual control-type Martial Soul, then set out to find him.

• Oscar used his Recovery Sausage to improve Ma Hongjun’s condition before the three entered the dining hall.
• Ma Hongjun told Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Oscar that Bu Le had beaten him at a brothel after competing with him for a woman.
• Dai Mubai agreed to stand up for Ma Hongjun, and Tang San and Oscar joined them on the way to find Bu Le.
• Dai Mubai insisted that they eat first and learn about Bu Le’s abilities before leaving.
• Ma Hongjun described Bu Le’s pink, cover-shaped Martial Soul and how its Spirit Skills blocked his Phoenix Fire Line and bound him.

Tang San and his companions planned to help Ma Hongjun retaliate, while Yun Feng secretly tested his new fifth Spirit Ability on Bu Le in Suotuo City. The group set out from the academy, and Xiao Wu joined them after learning Ma Hongjun had been beaten.

• Tang San planned how the group would counter the control-type Spirit Master, assigning roles to Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar.
• Yun Feng arrived in Suotuo City, tested his fifth Spirit Ability, Demon Eye World Devourer, on Bu Le, and secretly strengthened him.
• Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar left the academy to help Ma Hongjun get even with the person who beat him.
• Xiao Wu stopped the four at the academy gate, learned what had happened to Ma Hongjun, and insisted on joining the fight.

Ma Hongjun led Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu to a brothel in Suotuo City to confront Bu Le, while Yun Feng watched from the shadows. Xiao Wu unexpectedly stepped forward to handle Bu Le herself, and his reaction left her in front of a dangerous man.

• Ma Hongjun took the group to a run-down brothel in Suotuo City, where Dai Mubai and Oscar mocked his taste.
• The group prepared to confront the middle-aged Bu Le as he left the brothel, unaware that Yun Feng had secretly taken control of him.
• Xiao Wu stepped in front of the others and approached Bu Le, leaving Yun Feng dumbfounded.
• Xiao Wu asked Bu Le where she could buy candy, and Bu Le looked at her with a peculiar gleam.

Xiao Wu pretended to be a lost girl to lure the lecherous Bu Le into a dark alley, where she attacked him before he could release his Martial Soul. Tang San and the others followed to make sure she was safe.

• Bu Le approached Xiao Wu and offered to take her to buy candy, while Tang San and the others watched from nearby.
• Xiao Wu agreed to go with Bu Le, and Tang San explained that she had once used the same trick before attacking someone with her Eight-Stage Throw.
• Tang San and the others followed Bu Le and Xiao Wu as he led her into a secluded alley.
• When Bu Le tried to take advantage of Xiao Wu, she recognized his intent, used Charm to freeze him, and wrapped her braid around his neck.
• Xiao Wu lifted Bu Le off the ground and shook him so violently that he could not gather Soul Power or release his Martial Soul.

Xiao Wu used her Eight-Stage Throw to overwhelm Bu Le and leave him badly injured, though alive. Her companions praised her strength and questioned how her abilities worked.

• Xiao Wu caught Bu Le off guard with Teleport and began her Eight-Stage Throw.
• Xiao Wu slammed Bu Le into the ground repeatedly, scattering his Soul Power and leaving him barely conscious.
• Xiao Wu finished by twisting Bu Le's neck and throwing him down again, then said she had dislocated his joints but had not killed him.
• Dai Mubai complained that Xiao Wu had left no one for them to fight and praised her Eight-Stage Throw.
• Oscar asked Xiao Wu whether she could use Waist Bow repeatedly without gathering Soul Power between uses.

Xiao Wu explained her fighting technique while Tang San worried about her, and Ma Hongjun stayed behind to attack Bu Le. Yun Feng controlled the injured Bu Le into turning Ma Hongjun’s flames against him, then reunited with Xiao Wu and revealed his five-ring Spirit King cultivation to the stunned group.

• Xiao Wu explained that she could use Waist Bow without gathering Soul Power and that Eight-Stage Throw worked well against control-type Spirit Masters, while Tang San warned her not to bait enemies that way.
• Dai Mubai led Tang San, Oscar, and Xiao Wu away, leaving Ma Hongjun behind to kick Bu Le before preparing to attack him with his flames.
• Yun Feng used Demon Eye World Devourer to control Bu Le, who grabbed Ma Hongjun and redirected the flames toward him.
• As the group heard Ma Hongjun scream, Tang San argued that Bu Le should be killed to prevent future revenge, but the others reacted with surprise.
• Yun Feng returned, embraced Xiao Wu, and summoned his Martial Soul, revealing five Spirit Rings and shocking everyone nearby.

Yun Feng reunited with Xiao Wu and the others after revealing that he had become a Spirit King, then they found Ma Hongjun injured and furious after Bu Le escaped. At Shrek Academy, Flender told Yu Xiaogang that the academy had run out of money, and Yu Xiaogang promised to handle expenses during the next stage of training.

• Yun Feng revealed his Spirit King strength, surprising Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the others, then avoided answering their questions about his advancement.
• Xiao Wu explained why the group had come, and Yun Feng asked where Ma Hongjun was after hearing strange screams.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others found Ma Hongjun clutching his crotch and begging them to catch and kill Bu Le, who had already escaped under Yun Feng's control.
• Ma Hongjun learned that Bu Le was gone, cried out about his injury, and fainted.
• Flender told Yu Xiaogang that the academy's funds had been spent on his training methods, and Yu Xiaogang promised to resolve the expenses after the seven-day rest.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender discussed the academy’s financial troubles and the children’s training, while Bu Le’s companions found him badly injured and mutilated him further. After seven days of rest, the Shrek students returned to classes, leaving Flender’s academy nearly penniless.

• Flender worried about the academy’s expenses and asked Yu Xiaogang to ease up on the children’s training, but Yu Xiaogang said he knew his limits.
• Bu Le woke in an alley with severe injuries from the fight and called out when Old Goose and Tianya came looking for him.
• Tianya examined Bu Le, found his injuries extensive, and cut off his badly burned organ while Bu Le swore revenge.
• After seven days of rest, the Shrek students prepared to resume classes, while the costs of Yun Feng’s and Ma Hongjun’s needs left the academy broke.
• Flender swallowed his pride and borrowed money from Dai Mubai.

Shrek Academy struggled with money while Yu Xiaogang took credit for Yun Feng’s rapid growth and asked him to reveal how he advanced. Ning Rongrong recognized Yu Xiaogang’s attempt to pressure Yun Feng and called him shameless.

• Shrek Academy could not afford Ma Hongjun’s expenses or the next day’s meals, so they borrowed money from the students.
• Yu Xiaogang claimed Yun Feng’s improvement proved his training methods worked, while Flender humored him and Zhao Wuji silently disagreed.
• The Shrek students recovered from their discouragement and gathered for training as the holiday ended.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Yun Feng his Soul Power level, and Yun Feng answered that he had reached Level Fifty-Two.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Yun Feng to explain his rapid advancement so the others could learn from him, and Ning Rongrong accused him of being shameless.

Ning Rongrong challenged Yu Xiaogang for asking Yun Feng to share his cultivation method, and Yun Feng defused the dispute by saying he had no method to share. Yu Xiaogang assigned the students to earn Silver Soul Fighter Badges at the Soto Great Soul Arena, with Yun Feng exempted from the badge requirement because of his strength.

• Ning Rongrong called out Yu Xiaogang for trying to obtain Yun Feng's cultivation method, and Tang San defended his teacher before falling silent.
• Yu Xiaogang denied intending to plagiarize, and Yun Feng laughed before claiming his Soul Power rose without cultivation and that he had no method to share.
• Yu Xiaogang announced that the students would train at the Soto Great Soul Arena until they earned Silver Soul Fighter Badges.
• Yun Feng objected that few opponents in Suotuo City could match his Spirit King level, so Yu Xiaogang exempted him from the badge requirement.
• Yu Xiaogang required the students to compete individually and as the Shrek Seven Devils, use aliases, avoid Hidden Weapons, and fight at least twice daily.
• Oscar questioned whether auxiliary-type Spirit Masters had to earn badges, then agreed to the plan after Yu Xiaogang offered him the alternative of waiting while the others trained.

Yu Xiaogang brought the Shrek students to Suotuo City to gain practical experience in the Great Soul Arena and explained their match schedule. As they chose partners and received masks, Yun Feng was exempted from the rules because his strength was too great, while the others prepared to compete as they wished.

• Yu Xiaogang led the students to Suotuo City with Flender and Zhao Wuji, and they settled into a hotel near the Great Soul Arena.
• Yu Xiaogang required everyone except Yun Feng to enter one team battle daily and allowed them to choose additional matches according to their strength and Soul Power.
• Oscar asked Dai Mubai to partner with him in two-on-two matches, and Dai Mubai agreed.
• Ning Rongrong rejected Ma Hongjun as a partner and chose Zhu Zhuqing instead, despite Yu Xiaogang recommending Ma Hongjun.
• Yu Xiaogang handed out Shrek masks, and Yun Feng gave Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing different masks he had bought earlier.

Yu Xiaogang assigned the Shrek Seven Devils aliases for Soul Fighting matches and told Yun Feng to sit out team battles because his Spirit King strength would make it difficult to find suitable opponents. The group prepared for the Soto Great Soul Arena’s nightly matches, where Yun Feng’s nickname became “Commander.”

• Yu Xiaogang told Yun Feng to avoid team battles and gave the Shrek Seven Devils aliases to conceal their identities in individual and two-on-two matches.
• Ning Rongrong suggested calling Yun Feng “Commander,” and Yun Feng accepted the nickname despite finding it strange.
• The Shrek Seven Devils cultivated at the hotel and planned their one-on-one and two-on-two matches, with Oscar’s sausages helping restore their strength.
• Night fell, and crowds gathered at the Soto Great Soul Arena to watch the Soul Fighting matches.
