Chapter Summaries

Da Ming and Titan questioned Wang Dong'er about the hidden Tang Sect, while Tang San overheard and convinced himself that the powerful faction must be a branch of his own sect. The chapter left Da Ming and Titan believing they might rank among Sky Shrek Academy’s top fighters, as Wang Dong'er checked her wristband for sect information.

• Tang San demanded to know what Da Ming meant by a hidden Tang Sect, and Da Ming and Titan privately worried about explaining their improvised lie.
• Da Ming asked Wang Dong'er about the hidden Tang Sect, and she said Teacher Shen Yi had described it as one of Sky Shrek Academy’s five core factions.
• Tang San heard Wang Dong'er's explanation and concluded that the hidden faction was likely a long-secret branch of his Tang Sect, which he expected to acknowledge him as its ancestor.
• Da Ming and Titan recognized that the Body Sect was another of the academy's five factions, and Titan reasoned that their own strength might make them top-tier figures there.
• Wang Dong'er remembered that her wristband could display sect information and raised her wrist to check it.

Wang Dong'er showed Da Ming and Tai Tan her academy Identity Bracelet, and Tang San watched from the God Realm as its information revealed her rapid cultivation and low blacksmith rank. When the bracelet displayed that the Tang Sect had been established twenty thousand years ago and named Tang Lan as its founder, Tang San was left stunned.

• Wang Dong'er displayed her Soul Power level of 44 and her Level 1 blacksmith rank, while Tang San privately assessed her progress.
• Tang San recalled that Wang Dong'er had missed out on the Freshman Grand Competition's Spirit Bone and Contribution Point rewards, then suppressed his anger at Da Ming and Tai Tan.
• Tai Tan asked about Wang Dong'er's bracelet, and she explained that the academy-issued Identity Bracelet could communicate and access information.
• Wang Dong'er opened the Tang Sect history on the bracelet, which listed the sect as established twenty thousand years ago.
• Tang San was shocked to see Tang Lan named as the Tang Sect's founder.

Tang San was shocked to find that a Tang Sect founded by someone named Tang Lan had existed on Douluo Continent for twenty thousand years, and he ordered Wang Dong'er to study its techniques so he could determine whether its founder was his former-life guardian. He left for a God Realm meeting before learning more, while Da Ming and Tai Tan offered to guard Wang Dong'er as she absorbed her Spirit Bone.

• Tang San saw Tang Lan named as the founder of the hidden Tang Sect and wondered whether he was the elder who had raised him in his previous life.
• Tang San tried to learn more through Wang Dong'er's bracelet, but its brief history did not name any of the Tang Sect's techniques.
• The God King of Destruction summoned Tang San back to the God Realm Committee because the God Realm's core was acting up.
• Before leaving, Tang San told Da Ming and Tai Tan to have Wang Dong'er study the Tang Sect's techniques so he could verify their origins.
• Tang San decided that, if Tang Lan had founded the sect, he should take it over and have it serve him in return for his protection.
• Da Ming and Tai Tan remained puzzled by Tang San's instructions, then told Wang Dong'er to absorb her Spirit Bone while they stood guard.

Wang Dong'er fused the Phantom Light Neon Wings, advancing to level forty-five and gaining enhanced light power, the Aurora Thousand Blades skill, and flight. After Huo Yuhao completed his eye-shaped External Soul Bone fusion, Mu Ye asked what he planned to do with his Second Martial Soul.

• Da Ming and Titan brought Wang Dong'er home, where she chose to fuse the Phantom Light Neon Wings first after explaining the danger of absorbing too much soul power at once.
• Wang Dong'er completed the fusion smoothly, rose from level forty-four to level forty-five, and felt her light attribute grow purer.
• Wang Dong'er gained the Aurora Thousand Blades area attack and demonstrated her new wings by flying more than three thousand meters above the courtyard.
• Wang Dong'er returned and hoped her wings would let Da Ming and Titan stop escorting her, but they worried Tang San would keep giving them such duties.
• Huo Yuhao finished fusing his eye-shaped External Soul Bone, increasing his spiritual power and Soul Power Level by a little over two levels.
• Mu Ye met Huo Yuhao outside the cultivation room and asked what he planned to do about his Second Martial Soul, startling him by knowing it existed.

Huo Yuhao learned that Lin Feng and the academy’s teachers already knew about his blank Second Martial Soul and the beings inside his Sea of Consciousness. The revelation left Huo Yuhao stunned and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm terrified of what the academy might do with him.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm panicked when Mu Ye mentioned Huo Yuhao’s Second Martial Soul, fearing the academy might extract him for experiments.
• Huo Yuhao calmly asked Mu Ye how he knew about the blank Second Martial Soul.
• Mu Ye explained that Lin Feng had seen Huo Yuhao’s Second Martial Soul when he entered the academy and that nearly every teacher knew about it.
• Mu Ye revealed that Lin Feng also knew about the million-year Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness and the Little Gray Ball.
• Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm realized the academy already knew their hidden secrets.

Mu Ye offered to help Huo Yuhao awaken his blank Second Martial Soul by choosing an ice-attributed soul beast from Shrek Academy’s guidebook. Huo Yuhao found the Ice Dragon King in its pages, but wondered whether choosing it would leave him suppressed by Tang Wulin’s powerful bloodline.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm calmed down after Mu Ye assured it that Shrek Academy would not study or dissect it, then speculated about the academy’s powerful teachers and ambitions.
• Huo Yuhao admitted to Mu Ye that he had not decided what to do with his blank Second Martial Soul.
• Mu Ye explained that Huo Yuhao needed an origin fusion with an ice-attributed soul beast and offered him Shrek Academy’s illustrated guidebook, promising it could provide any beast listed inside.
• Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm searched the guidebook, passing over several rare ice beasts before finding the Ice Jade Scorpion, Heavenly Snow Woman, Titan Snow Demon King, and Ice Dragon King.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged Huo Yuhao to choose the Ice Dragon King, and Huo Yuhao asked Mu Ye whether its dragon bloodline would be suppressed by Tang Wulin.

Mu Ye explained the Ice Dragon King’s origin and its bloodline relationship with Tang Wulin, then revealed that Shrek Academy had replicated the fallen Dragon Kings. Huo Yuhao weighed whether to choose the Ice Dragon King as his Second Martial Soul, while Mu Ye offered him another option.

• Mu Ye told Huo Yuhao that the Ice Dragon King was one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings and explained how the Dragon God had granted them their attributes.
• Huo Yuhao learned that the Ice Dragon King and Water Dragon King were the same dragon and asked how the academy could provide a long-dead divine beast.
• Mu Ye revealed that Dean Lin Feng had retrieved and replicated the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Mu Ye said Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline would suppress an Ice Dragon King fusion, though the suppression would not be severe because the Nine Great Dragon Kings were stronger.
• Huo Yuhao considered whether to choose the Ice Dragon King, and Mu Ye suggested he could instead avoid choosing a soul beast as his Second Martial Soul.
• In the Dean’s Office, the system rewarded Lin Feng with the special scene Dragon Valley after Huo Yuhao’s recognition of Shrek Academy increased.

Mu Ye advised Huo Yuhao against choosing a beast martial soul because Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline would suppress it, then suggested the Titan Snow Demon King because it carried the Ice God Bloodline. Huo Yuhao grasped that a god’s bloodline might avoid the suppression, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reacted with alarm and wondered what the plan would mean for him.

• Mu Ye told Huo Yuhao that a beast martial soul would be suppressed by Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline unless it carried the Silver Dragon King or Dragon God bloodline.
• Huo Yuhao asked what he could choose for his blank Second Martial Soul, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm worried that it could not fuse with ordinary ice.
• Mu Ye asked Huo Yuhao whether he remembered the Titan Snow Demon King from the illustrated guide, prompting Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to question why Mu Ye was recommending another beast.
• Mu Ye explained that he had mentioned the Titan Snow Demon King because it possessed the Ice God Bloodline.
• Huo Yuhao realized that a god’s bloodline might not be suppressed by Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm panicked over the prospect of Huo Yuhao obtaining the Ice God Bloodline.

Mu Ye brought Huo Yuhao to Dean Lin Feng to activate his blank Second Martial Soul with the Ice God’s bloodline. Huo Yuhao endured the deadly fusion trial, and the process ended with the Ice God bloodline awakening in him.

• Mu Ye explained that he would use the Ice God’s bloodline to activate Huo Yuhao’s Second Martial Soul and took him to a sealed, freezing laboratory.
• Lin Feng warned Huo Yuhao that the fusion could tear apart his body and kill him, but Huo Yuhao chose to proceed despite Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s pleas to stop.
• Lin Feng sent the Ice God’s blood into Huo Yuhao, beginning a trial of extreme cold and heat that tortured Huo Yuhao’s body and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s spirit.
• Huo Yuhao held on through repeated injuries and loss of consciousness as Mu Ye watched anxiously.
• Huo Yuhao’s fusion completed as a powerful freezing aura erupted from him, his eyes filled with chill, and his hair began turning silver-white.

Huo Yuhao survived the fusion with the Ice God Bloodline, awakening a powerful Second Martial Soul, and Lin Feng healed his injuries. As Huo Yuhao resolved to grow stronger, the story shifted to the Sea God Pavilion, where its members discussed Zhang Lexuan's mission.

• Lin Feng watched Huo Yuhao endure the Ice God Bloodline fusion and considered investigating how Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had granted him a blank Second Martial Soul.
• Huo Yuhao completed the fusion, and Lin Feng instantly healed his severe injuries with a wave of his hand.
• Huo Yuhao discovered his greatly enhanced physical strength, ice control, and resistance to ice attacks, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged him to earn Contribution Points for a Soul Spirit.
• Lin Feng dismissed Mu Ye and Huo Yuhao, and Mu Ye led Huo Yuhao out of the laboratory.
• At the Sea God Pavilion, an old man asked Xuan Zi whether Zhang Lexuan had completed her three-month mission.

Mu En confronted Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo over Zhang Lexuan’s three-month absence, and learned that Ling Luochen was missing too. Under Mu En’s pressure, Yan Shaozhe confessed that the two women had been sent undercover into Sky Shrek Academy, leaving their fate unknown.

• Mu En demanded to know why Zhang Lexuan had been gone for three months, while Xuan Zi falsely claimed she was safe and delayed by Evil Soul Masters.
• Xian Lin'er revealed that Ling Luochen had also been absent from the academy for months without sending word.
• Mu En accused Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo of hiding information and demanded an explanation from Yan Shaozhe.
• Xuan Zi ignored Yan Shaozhe’s pleading looks and left him to face Mu En’s anger alone.
• Yan Shaozhe confessed that he, Xuan Zi, and Qian Duoduo had secretly sent Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen into Sky Shrek Academy as undercover agents.

Mu En learned that Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo had sent Luochen and Lexuan undercover at Pirated Shrek Academy, and the revelation caused him to cough up blood. He ordered the three men confined and prepared to go to the academy himself to bring the two children back safely.

• Yan Shaozhe revealed that he and Qian Duoduo had sent Luochen and Lexuan undercover at Pirated Shrek Academy, and Mu En vomited blood in shock and anger.
• Mu En rebuked Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo for ignoring his warnings, while Xuan Zi defended the plan as necessary to protect Shrek Academy.
• Mu En ordered Xuan Zi, Qian Duoduo, and Yan Shaozhe locked in the Sea God Pavilion's Confinement Room.
• Mu En took out the wheelchair Soul Tool Bei Xin had given him and announced that he would go to Pirated Shrek Academy to retrieve Luochen and Lexuan.
• Mu En warned Xuan Zi that if either child suffered harm, Xuan Zi would be expelled from Shrek Academy.

Mu En ordered Xuan Zi confined and stripped of his vice captain position, but Xuan Zi demanded to lead a retaliatory campaign against Pirated Shrek Academy. His call to brand them Evil Soul Masters and seize their resources enraged Mu En so badly that he vomited blood and fainted.

• Mu En agreed to go with Elder Lin to address the crisis at the airborne Shrek Academy.
• Mu En ordered Elder Song to confine Xuan Zi and stripped him of his position as vice captain of the Shrek Inspection Team.
• Xuan Zi insisted on leading a team to rescue Lexuan and Luochen, then argued they were probably dead and urged Shrek Academy to rally the continent against Pirated Shrek Academy.
• Xuan Zi proposed accusing Pirated Shrek Academy of being Evil Soul Masters and seizing its technology and resources, shocking the elders.
• Mu En condemned Xuan Zi for putting plunder ahead of the missing students, vomited blood, and fainted.
• Elder Zhuang summoned his martial soul to treat Mu En as the other elders panicked.

After Mu En collapsed, Elder Song and Elder Lin tried to enforce his orders, but Xuan Zi resisted confinement and argued that negotiating with Pirated Shrek Academy could endanger them. The elders were left divided as Mu En remained unconscious and Xuan Zi’s arguments went unanswered.

• Elder Zhuang stabilized Mu En, then said Mu En was out of immediate danger but had fallen into a slumber with no known time of awakening.
• Elder Song blamed Xuan Zi for provoking Mu En and ordered him to the Confinement Room, but Xuan Zi opposed her and claimed he should lead Shrek Academy while Mu En was unconscious.
• Elder Lin backed Elder Song, volunteered to negotiate with the other academy, and ordered Xuan Zi, Qian Duoduo, and Yan Shaozhe confined.
• Xuan Zi warned that Lexuan and Luochen might have stolen Pirated Shrek Academy's technology, arguing that the academy could kill them and that the elders risked being captured if they went to negotiate.
• Sea God Pavilion fell silent, while Yan Shaozhe noticed Mu En's troubled expression as he lay unconscious.

Wang Dong'er arrived at the Tang Sect for individualized instruction and was assigned Zang Xin as her temporary teacher while her own teacher was away. Meanwhile, the dean received a system reward after Wang Dong'er's recognition of Shrek Academy increased.

• Wang Dong'er followed her bracelet's directions to the Tang Sect and found Xie Xie waiting with several other freshmen.
• Liang Xiaoyu took Xie Xie away for his lesson, and the other students were collected by powerful Tang Sect instructors, leaving Wang Dong'er alone.
• Zang Xin appeared and explained that he would teach Wang Dong'er until her assigned teacher returned.
• Wang Dong'er greeted Zang Xin as her teacher and followed him into the Tang Sect for instruction.
• In the Dean's Office, the system rewarded the host with Special Teacher—Yehui, a Level 94 Super Douluo, after Wang Dong'er's recognition of Shrek Academy as Monster Academy increased.

Zang Xin taught Wang Dong'er the Mysterious Heaven Skill, claiming it could greatly strengthen Soul Power and even raise Innate Soul Power if learned before martial-soul awakening. After she mastered its circulation, he sent her to a cultivation room where twenty-four hours of practice would pass as only one hour outside, while a system notification rewarded the host with Kuang Zhantian as a special student.

• Zang Xin brought Wang Dong'er to a cultivation room and explained the Mysterious Heaven Skill's abilities and its role as the foundation of Tang Sect techniques.
• Zang Xin said the skill could raise a Soul Master's Innate Soul Power as high as level twenty if cultivated before martial-soul awakening, shocking Wang Dong'er.
• Zang Xin guided Wang Dong'er through the skill's meridian route, rescued her when her Soul Power went out of control, and helped her complete several cycles.
• Zang Xin told Wang Dong'er to cultivate in a second room where twenty-four hours inside equaled one hour outside.
• The system announced that recognition of Shrek Academy as Monster Academy had increased and rewarded the host with special student Kuang Zhantian, a five-ring Soul King.

Wang Dong'er spent a day cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill in Shrek Academy's time-distorting chamber, making steady progress without reaching its first level. Afterward, Zang Xin told her she could show the technique to outsiders because no one on Douluo Continent could learn it without Dean Lin Feng's permission.

• Zang Xin warned Wang Dong'er that the cultivation chamber's time distortion burdened the body and mind, so she should use her session carefully.
• Wang Dong'er entered the chamber and spent twenty-four hours circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill while Zang Xin monitored her condition from outside.
• The chamber returned Wang Dong'er after only one hour had passed outside, and she told Zang Xin that the focused cultivation had felt wonderful.
• Zang Xin ended Wang Dong'er's lesson, and she asked whether she could demonstrate the Mysterious Heaven Skill to people outside the academy.
• Zang Xin assured Wang Dong'er that she could show the technique because no one could learn it without Dean Lin Feng's permission, so she left to demonstrate it to Da Ming and Tai Tan.

After Wang Dong'er demonstrated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San discovered it was more complete than the version he had learned and could not cultivate it himself. Enraged, he decided to expose the Douluo Continent and Sky Shrek Academy to the Abyss Plane.

• Da Ming and Tai Tan brought Wang Dong'er to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest and urged her to demonstrate the Mysterious Heaven Skill for Tang San.
• Wang Dong'er circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill while Tang San used his divine sense to study its cultivation route.
• Tang San realized Wang Dong'er's technique was more complete than his own and suspected the Bashu Tang Sect had deliberately given him an incomplete version.
• Tang San tried to cultivate the genuine Mysterious Heaven Skill but could not make it circulate, and he blamed his damaged foundation on the incomplete technique.
• Tang San locked onto the Abyss Plane and resolved to reveal the Douluo Continent and Sky Shrek Academy's coordinates to it.

Tang San planned to expose Sky Shrek Academy’s coordinates to the Abyss Plane, hoping its invasion would destroy the academy or reveal its strength while he stayed safe. He also intended to reclaim Wang Dong’er’s knowledge for himself, leaving his plans set on controlling the Tang Sect Techniques and his legacy.

• Tang San reasoned that the mysterious mist obscuring contact between Douluo Continent and the Douluo God Realm would keep the God King of Destruction from noticing what he did.
• Tang San planned to give the Abyss Plane Sky Shrek Academy’s coordinates so the Abyss Creatures would test or destroy it, while he later posed as a savior and took the Abyss Plane’s energy.
• Tang San dismissed the civilian deaths an invasion would cause because he did not want to risk confronting Sky Shrek Academy himself.
• Tang San watched Wang Dong’er practice the complete Mysterious Heaven Skill and felt jealous that she had gained what he had never learned.
• Tang San decided that Wang Dong’er would eventually return to him, allowing him to claim the techniques she learned and preserve his own status as Douluo Continent’s legendary figure.

• Xiao Xiao arrived at the War God Temple, where Tang Yinmeng introduced herself as Xiao Xiao's personal teacher and warned that her training would be strict.
• Tang Yinmeng led Xiao Xiao inside, and Xiao Xiao noticed the temple's dense spiritual energy and impressive murals.

• Tang Yinmeng summoned her Xun Martial Soul and played a note without activating a soul ring, causing the scene around Xiao Xiao to transform.
