Chapter Summaries

Tang Yinmeng demonstrated the Yinxun Domain to Xiao Xiao and explained the four types of domains and how Martial Soul domains could awaken. Xiao Xiao left eager to uncover domains from her two Martial Souls, while a system notification rewarded the dean for Xiao Xiao’s increased recognition of Shrek Academy as Monster Academy.

• Tang Yinmeng showed Xiao Xiao the Yinxun Domain, using a lifelike battlefield illusion to conceal real sound attacks among phantom soldiers.
• Tang Yinmeng explained that domains included spiritual, Battle Armor, soul skill, and Martial Soul types, and that complementary domains could greatly increase combat power.
• Xiao Xiao worried that she could not sense domains in her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron or Nine Phoenix Flute, and Tang Yinmeng said every Martial Soul had a domain that could be uncovered.
• Tang Yinmeng told Xiao Xiao that her two Martial Souls could give her two domains, encouraging Xiao Xiao to pursue them.
• The system reported that Xiao Xiao’s recognition of Shrek Academy as Monster Academy had increased and awarded the host 100 Millennium Ice Crystal Fruits and 100 Millennium Red Flame Fruits.

Tang Yinmeng taught Xiao Xiao the Heart Sound Resonance Art to help her sense the Nine Phoenix Flute’s characteristics. Xiao Xiao found a faint resonance within the chaotic sea of sound, and Tang Yinmeng urged her to continue training toward awakening her Martial Soul Domain.

• Tang Yinmeng led Xiao Xiao to a room filled with instruments and explained that instrument-type Martial Souls were bound closely to their owners.
• Tang Yinmeng taught Xiao Xiao the Heart Sound Resonance Art and used her Xun to make the instruments resonate.
• Xiao Xiao endured the overwhelming sounds and sensed a faint, blood-connected resonance from her Nine Phoenix Flute.
• Tang Yinmeng explained that different Martial Soul types needed different environments to sense their origins, though the methods shared the same goal.
• Tang Yinmeng told Xiao Xiao to keep training because sensing the flute’s characteristics was only the first step toward awakening her Martial Soul Domain.

Shen Yi explained that Shrek Academy would hold the Five Great Competition to test the students’ progress in their five core forces, with faction rankings affecting their teachers’ pride and punishments. She also revealed that students could obtain other factions’ supreme arts through Contribution Points or competition rewards, leaving the class eager to compete.

• The first-year students told Shen Yi that training with their core forces had introduced them to powerful new cultivation systems and left them excited to grow stronger.
• Shen Yi warned the students that the upcoming Five Great Competition would bring trouble if they trained poorly or disgraced their forces.
• Shen Yi explained that students could exchange Contribution Points for other factions’ techniques or earn a chance to select them through strong competition results.
• The students learned that the last-place faction would surrender its studied technique to the first-place faction, and they checked the wristband store to find the techniques costly.
• Wang Dong'er wanted the War God Temple’s Martial Soul perception art, while Xiao Xiao wanted the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, and the others became eager to compete.

Shen Yi set a six-month deadline for every student to obtain at least three Battle Armor components and told them to form production teams. Huo Yuhao worried that his Soul Engineer expertise would leave him unable to help, but joined Tang Wulin and the others and resolved to contribute and learn.

• Shen Yi warned the class to prepare for the Five Great Competition and announced that everyone had to earn three Battle Armor components within six months or fail the final examination.
• Shen Yi told the students to form Battle Armor production teams, while Ling Luochen worried about balancing the work with her undercover missions and other responsibilities.
• Huo Yuhao worried that he lacked experience in the four Battle Armor professions and would be a burden to any team.
• Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others invited Huo Yuhao to join them and reassured him that they would work together.
• Huo Yuhao accepted their invitation and resolved to apply his Soul Engineer experience where possible and learn whatever else he needed.

Huo Yuhao worried about the Battle Armor assignment and whether he should pursue other technical professions alongside Soul Engineering. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm advised him to consult Mu Ye, so Huo Yuhao hurried to find his teacher for guidance.

• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reflected on how much Huo Yuhao would need to learn to make the three Battle Armor components assigned by Shen Yi.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm worried that learning too many professions could waste Huo Yuhao’s limited time and welcomed Tang Wulin and the others’ help.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reminded Huo Yuhao that Mu Ye was a Four-Word Battle Armor Master and Red-Rank Mecha Master.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to seek Mu Ye’s advice and headed toward the Body Sect grounds.

Huo Yuhao asked Mu Ye whether he should abandon Soul Engineering or learn Battle Armor-related professions, and Mu Ye revealed a cultivation technique that could let him study several paths at once. The chapter ended with Lin Feng receiving Han Tianyi, a Rank 97 Super Douluo, as a special teacher.

• Huo Yuhao asked Mu Ye whether he should focus on Soul Engineering or also study Mecha Design and Manufacturing to create Battle Armor.
• Mu Ye explained that spreading his efforts across Mechas and Battle Armor had once kept him from breaking through to Rank 95, and Huo Yuhao mistakenly concluded that he should focus only on Soul Power and Soul Engineering.
• Mu Ye clarified that Lin Feng had helped him reach Rank 95 and introduced the Body Sect's Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art, which let cultivators divide their minds to pursue multiple specialties.
• Lin Feng received Han Tianyi, a Rank 97 Super Douluo with the Brain Martial Soul, as a special teacher after Huo Yuhao's recognition of Shrek Academy increased.

Mu Ye told Huo Yuhao that he needed at least 15,000 spiritual power to learn the Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art, then tested him at the Body Sect. Huo Yuhao scored 16,797, meeting the requirement, and Tang Wulin arrived wanting to take the test too.

• Mu Ye warned Huo Yuhao that the Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art required a high spiritual power threshold and could cause spiritual backlash.
• Mu Ye clarified that Huo Yuhao, as a direct disciple of the Body Sect, would learn its core methods without spending Contribution Points.
• Mu Ye took Huo Yuhao to a testing room and had him measure his spiritual power.
• Huo Yuhao's test showed a score of 16,797, enough to cultivate the Soul-Splitting Art.
• Tang Wulin found Mu Ye and Huo Yuhao and asked to test his own spiritual power.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao tested their spiritual power, and Mu Ye adjusted their training plans based on their results. Mu Ye assigned Han Tianyi to teach Huo Yuhao spiritual control, just as a powerful elderly man appeared outside the room.

• Tang Wulin tested at 13,105 spiritual power, while Huo Yuyao’s result exceeded 16,000.
• Mu Ye explained that Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eye awakening and talents drove his rapid growth, and praised Tang Wulin’s strong spiritual foundation.
• Mu Ye told Tang Wulin to continue physical and bloodline training and promised to teach him the Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art once he reached 15,000 spiritual power.
• Mu Ye assigned Han Tianyi, a newly recruited expert with a brain martial soul, to train Huo Yuhao’s spiritual control.
• A tall elderly man in a gray robe appeared outside the room and enveloped Huo Yuhao in a powerful wave of spiritual power.

Han Tianyi began training Huo Yuhao to control his spiritual power by conjuring a terrifying Nine-Headed Snake. He left Huo Yuhao facing the imagined hundred-thousand-year soul beast and ordered him to defeat it with his spiritual power.

• Han Tianyi praised Huo Yuhao's spiritual talent and regretted that Mu Ye had already taken him as a personal disciple.
• Mu Ye defended Huo Yuhao and assigned Han Tianyi to teach him spiritual power control, then took Tang Wulin to the Gravity Chamber for training.
• Han Tianyi led Huo Yuhao to an empty special room and told him to watch one of his moves with his eyes and Sea of Consciousness.
• Han Tianyi conjured a transparent Nine-Headed Snake whose aura felt like that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
• Han Tianyi told Huo Yuhao to use his spiritual power to defeat the imagined beast.

Huo Yuhao struggled against Han Tianyi’s Nine-Headed Snake using only spiritual power, eventually condensing his remaining strength into a piercing attack. He managed to penetrate its defense but only staggered it before exhausting himself and fainting.

• Huo Yuhao’s Soul Shock attacks failed to harm the Nine-Headed Snake, while its fiery blasts forced him to dodge.
• Huo Yuhao used Mental Detection to inspect the energy construct and found no obvious weak points.
• As his spiritual power dwindled, Huo Yuhao realized that condensing his attacks into a single point might penetrate the snake’s uniform defense.
• Huo Yuhao compressed his remaining spiritual power into a needle and pierced the Nine-Headed Snake’s Seven-Inch Point, making it shudder but not collapse.
• Huo Yuhao exhausted his spiritual power and fainted on the examination ground.

Huo Yuhao awoke after exhausting his spiritual power against Han Tianyi’s Nine-Headed Snake and admitted his mistakes in the test. Han Tianyi explained that Yuhao should have attacked the caster rather than trying to overpower the creation, then left him to recover before continuing training.

• Huo Yuhao woke with a headache and recalled that his repeated spiritual attacks had failed to defeat Han Tianyi’s Nine-Headed Snake.
• Huo Yuhao apologized to Han Tianyi and recognized that impatience and uncontrolled use of spiritual power had left him unconscious.
• Han Tianyi praised Yuhao for discovering how to compress spiritual power, but pointed out that he had missed the test’s real solution.
• Han Tianyi explained that the Nine-Headed Snake was an extension of his spiritual power and that Yuhao could have attacked its caster with Mental Shock.
• Huo Yuhao thanked Han Tianyi for the guidance, and Han Tianyi told him to recover before continuing his training.

After eight months at Shrek Academy, Shen Yi announced that the first-year students would leave the aerial island for four months of real-world training on the Douluo Continent. As the class looked forward to the expedition, Ling Luochen worried that it would bring her face-to-face with her old academy again.

• Shen Yi reviewed the students’ progress, including Wang Dong’er’s mastery of Tang Sect techniques and Huo Yuhao’s rapid advancement in four Soul Engineer and mecha professions.
• Shen Yi announced that the students would leave the academy, alarming the class until she clarified they were not being expelled.
• Shen Yi explained that the first-years would train on the Douluo Continent for the remaining four months of the academic year.
• The students grew excited at the prospect of going home, while Ling Luochen worried about confronting her former academy during the expedition.

Ling Luochen told Zhang Lexuan that she would not return to the original Shrek Academy during the first-years’ four-month training, choosing instead to protect the academy that had welcomed them. Zhang Lexuan planned to stay in the skyborne academy and let Cai Yue'er try to repair her damaged foundation, while Ling Luochen prepared to descend to the Douluo Continent.

• Ling Luochen visited Zhang Lexuan and told her that Shen Yi had arranged four months of practical combat training on the Douluo Continent for the first-years.
• Zhang Lexuan asked whether Ling Luochen planned to return to the original Shrek Academy, and Ling Luochen refused, saying she would not reveal information about the skyborne academy.
• Zhang Lexuan said she would study under Cai Yue'er and that Cai Yue'er hoped to repair the damage to her origin.
• Ling Luochen reacted with shock, then encouraged Zhang Lexuan to cultivate and promised to return after the training journey.
• Ling Luochen said goodbye to Zhang Lexuan and went to pack for the descent to the Douluo Continent.

Shen Yi sent the first-year students to the Douluo Continent for a four-month training expedition, with their Identity Bracelets recording their performance. Tang Wulin's group chose a wilderness landing site near Star Dou Forest, where a bloodstained black-robed figure attacked their Soul-Guided Car as it descended.

• Shen Yi explained that the students would travel to the ground in Soul-Guided Cars and that their four-month training scores would determine their Contribution Point rewards and final grades.
• Wu Zhangkong brought out the cars, and Shen Yi told the students to travel in groups, set their destinations, and store the academy vehicles safely after landing.
• Tang Wulin, Huo Yuhao, Xie Xie, Wei Xiaofeng, and Ling Luochen formed a group and chose a wilderness area beyond Star Dou Forest as their destination.
• Tang Wulin set the coordinates, and their Soul-Guided Car descended through the clouds toward the Douluo Continent.
• As the car neared the ground, a bloodstained black-robed figure appeared at the landing site and fired a dark red energy sphere at them.

Tang Wulin and his teammates survived an ambush by a black-robed Evil Soul Master, then identified and killed him. They left the wilderness with their training underway and their Soul-Guided Car undamaged.

• Tang Wulin shielded the Soul-Guided Car from the black-robed man's Blood Fiend Yin Thunder with his Blue Silver Emperor vines.
• After landing, Tang Wulin secured the car, while the black-robed man tried to flee and Huo Yuhao knocked him unconscious with Mental Shock.
• Tang Wulin and the others examined the man and concluded that his fresh blood and attack marked him as an Evil Soul Master.
• Ling Luochen, Huo Yuhao, Xie Xie, and Wei Xiaofeng agreed that the man should die, and Tang Wulin pierced his heart with a Blue Silver Emperor vine.

Tang Wulin and his companions killed a group of Evil Soul Masters and learned they had slaughtered a village and captured its people for cultivation. They agreed to escort the surviving villagers back to their ruined home, while a group from the Inner Court of Pirated Shrek Academy arrived after they left.

• Tang Wulin and his companions decided to travel together after killing an Evil Soul Master.
• Five Evil Soul Masters surrounded the group, but Tang Wulin and his companions defeated them in less than ten seconds.
• Several survivors emerged from hiding and thanked Tang Wulin's group for killing the Evil Soul Masters who had destroyed their village.
• An elderly survivor explained that the Evil Soul Masters had killed hundreds and drained captives' blood for cultivation.
• Tang Wulin and the others agreed to escort the survivors back to their village to bury their dead.
• A group from the Inner Court of Pirated Shrek Academy arrived at the battlefield after Tang Wulin's group had departed.

Wang Dong'er arrived at the Star Dou Forest with her classmates and brought Xiao Xiao, Xi Er, and Xu Xiaoyan to visit Da Ming and Tai Tan. She discovered that the two had spent her allowance and had no food, so the group went out to eat instead.

• Lin Xi and Zhang Xiaoning left to visit their families while Wang Dong'er and the other girls decided to stay together for a while.
• Wang Dong'er invited Xiao Xiao, Xi Er, and Xu Xiaoyan to her home for lunch and introduced them to Da Ming and Tai Tan.
• Tai Tan had forgotten that Wang Dong'er was arriving for practical training, and she reminded him of her message.
• Da Ming and Tai Tan admitted nothing was left to eat because they had spent their money on tea and wine after extorting Bei Bei and robbing hostile soul masters.
• Wang Dong'er learned that Da Ming and Tai Tan had spent the ten thousand Gold Soul Coins she had left them, then took her friends out to eat.

Wang Dong'er exchanged Contribution Points for Gold Soul Coins and took her friends to Shrek City, where they ordered a restaurant's century-old soul beast dish. The waiter revealed that the dish cost five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, leaving the girls stunned.

• Xu Xiaoyan suggested visiting the Shrek Academy on the continent, and Xi Er led the group toward Shrek City.
• Wang Dong'er and the others entered an upscale restaurant and ordered its signature century-old soul beast dish.
• The waiter told the girls that the signature dish cost five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, and Xi Er demanded an explanation.

Xi Er and her companions were targeted by a restaurant in Shrek City that demanded an exorbitant bill and planned to extort their academy. When the waiter sent four Soul Ancestor thugs after them, Xi Er revealed her Dark Scythe and an exceptionally powerful four-ring configuration.

• The waiter demanded five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for ordinary hundred-year soul beast soup, and Xi Er accused the restaurant of cheating them.
• A diner warned the girls that Shrek Academy controlled Shrek City, and the waiter claimed the academy backed the city's restaurant prices and rules.
• The waiter summoned four Soul Ancestor thugs and revealed that he planned to hold Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Xi Er, and Xu Xiaoyan until their academy paid.
• Xi Er refused to pay and summoned her Dark Scythe, displaying four soul rings: two purple and two black.

Xi Er defeated four Soul Ancestor thugs at a corrupt restaurant and exposed its extortion, winning the support of the angry diners. Just as she prepared to strike the waiter, Bei Bei and Tang Ya arrived and asked what had happened.

• Xi Er used Shadow Scythe Strike to defeat the four thugs in seconds and drain their Soul Power.
• Xi Er confronted the waiter over the restaurant’s inflated prices and extortion, rejecting his threat to call Shrek Academy’s Enforcement Squad.
• A young Soul Master accused the restaurant of trapping him with a false charge and forcing him into a high-interest debt, prompting other diners to condemn the establishment.
