Chapter Summaries

Moryo attacked Tobi after questioning the Dawn Organization, but Tobi escaped using his spatial ability. Moryo then summoned a colossal black palm over Shrek City, while the Sky Screen froze and Qian Duoduo led Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong toward the Sea God Pavilion, reflecting on their identities.

• Moryo questioned Tobi about the Dawn Organization, then struck him and tried to take Huo Yuhao's left eye.
• Tobi tricked Moryo, dodged his purple-black Soul Power palm, and escaped through a space-erasing ability.
• Moryo turned his attention to the Golden Tree and summoned a giant black palm that threatened Shrek City as the Golden Tree raised a final defense.
• The Sky Screen froze on the descending palm, and Qian Duoduo led Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong along the Sea God Pavilion corridor.
• Qian Duoduo recognized Wang Dong as Tang San's daughter and recalled Huo Yuhao's Twin Martial Souls, including the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

Wang Dong learned that she was the daughter of Sea God Tang San and Xiao Wu, while Huo Yuhao discovered that his Spirit Eyes martial soul might be targeted by dangerous people. Qian Duoduo promised the Academy would protect them and took them to meet the Sea God Pavilion Elders, who worried over the growing threat of the Dawn Organization.

• Qian Duoduo and Huo Yuhao reacted with shock as Wang Dong learned her parents were Tang San and Xiao Wu, and Huo Yuhao wondered about the origin of his Spirit Eyes.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress discussed how Wang Dong's connection to Tang San could help their god-creation plan.
• Huo Yuhao teased Wang Dong about her seniority, and she twisted his waist before silently vowing to confront her Big Uncle and Second Uncle about hiding the truth.
• Qian Duoduo warned Huo Yuhao that the Sky Screen had exposed his secrets and promised Shrek Academy would protect both students.
• The Sea God Pavilion Elders discussed Tobi's power and the other Dawn Organization members, Itachi and their still-hidden leader.

The Sea God Pavilion Elders discussed the Dawn Organization’s goals and Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes before questioning Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. The Ice Empress took control of Huo Yuhao and revealed the God-Making Project, leaving the Elders stunned by her confidence that Shrek Academy could cultivate another god.

• Xian Lin'er and Lin Huiqun worried over the Dawn Organization’s numerous powerful members, while Mu En urged the Elders to focus on its objectives and Huo Yuhao’s eyes.
• Elder Song suggested that the Body Sect might know about body martial soul research, but Lin Huiqun explained that Shrek Academy’s old grudge with the sect had worsened after Xuan Zi clashed with Du Busi.
• Qian Duoduo brought Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to the Sea God Pavilion, where Mu En confirmed Wang Dong’s connection to Tang San and told her to stay on Sea God Island.
• Mu En dismissed Wang Dong to meet Xiao Xiao and kept Huo Yuhao behind for questioning.
• The Ice Empress took control of Huo Yuhao, explained the God-Making Project, and declared that Shrek Academy could cultivate another god with her support.

Mu En and the Shrek Academy Elders approved Ice Empress's plan to help Huo Yuhao become a god. After revealing his martial souls, Huo Yuhao chose to remain in the Soul Tool Department despite Yan Shaozhe's offer to recruit him into the Martial Soul Department.

• Ice Empress argued that Shrek Academy needed a god to face the powerful beings revealed on the Sky Screen, and Mu En and the Elders agreed to her plan for Huo Yuhao.
• Ice Empress withdrew into Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea, and Xian Lin'er asked him to show his martial souls.
• Huo Yuhao revealed his Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and Spirit Eyes, prompting Yan Shaozhe to demand that the Martial Soul Department cultivate him.
• Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er argued that Huo Yuhao belonged in the Soul Tool Department, while Yan Shaozhe offered him core disciple status and more resources.
• Huo Yuhao firmly chose the Soul Tool Department, leaving Yan Shaozhe stunned and bringing Qian Duoduo to tears.

Huo Yuhao chose to make the Soul Tool Department his primary focus while continuing his Martial Soul studies. On the Mingdou Mountain Range battlefield, Niu Tian and Du Busi both left after the Sky Screen revealed matters connected to Dong'er and Huo Yuhao, leaving Dai Hao's planned ambush with roughly even odds against the Sun Moon Empire's two Beast King-class Soul Engineer Regiments.

• Huo Yuhao chose the Soul Tool Department, and Mu En told him he still had to keep up with Martial Soul courses; Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er supported his decision.
• Dai Hao watched the Sky Screen's image of Huo Yuhao and wondered why the youth's eyes seemed familiar.
• Niu Tian told Dai Hao he had to leave to deal with matters exposed by the Sky Screen, then flew toward Shrek City to check on Dong'er.
• Dai Hao revised his defenses after Niu Tian's departure, knowing the loss of the Limit Douluo had cut his chances of destroying both enemy regiments.
• Du Busi announced he was returning to the Body Sect to investigate records about eye martial souls and seek a way to recruit Huo Yuhao.
• Dai Hao watched Du Busi leave and realized that the battle's former advantage had dwindled to roughly even strength.

Dai Hao feared the Mingdou Mountain Range front would collapse after Du Busi left, but Xuan Zi assured him he would stay and fight. In the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran discovered that opening the ruin tied to Shrike required a Level 10 Soul Tool, then learned Kong Deming had entered seclusion to attempt that breakthrough.

• Dai Hao panicked when Xuan Zi returned and begged him not to abandon the Mingdou Mountain Range front.
• Xuan Zi told Dai Hao he had no plans to leave and asked why Dai Hao thought he was leaving too.
• Xu Tianran’s researchers identified a buried ruin as a likely location of Shrike, but concluded its stone door required a Level 10 Soul Tool to open.
• Xu Tianran grew furious that the ruin’s lock required a Level 10 Soul Tool and recalled the revelations about Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao from the Sky Screen.
• The royal laboratory’s overseer told Xu Tianran that Kong Deming had entered seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to Level 10, which could take one to five years.

Xu Tianran accepted Sasori’s offer to exchange Shrike for a Scientific Soul Tool, hoping to strengthen the Sun Moon Empire’s military. At Virtue Hall, Jing Hongchen studied the Sky Screen factions and tested the Banana Leaf Fan while worrying about his unconscious grandchildren.

• Xu Tianran left the royal laboratory, but an explosion shook the facility and Sasori appeared in the corridor.
• Sasori offered to break Shrike’s seal in exchange for Shrike and gave Xu Tianran a Scientific Soul Tool.
• Xu Tianran agreed to the deal after considering how Scientific Soul Tools could increase his army’s power.
• Jing Hongchen reviewed information about the Dawn Organization and other Sky Screen factions, then thought about Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s condition.
• Jing Hongchen tested the Banana Leaf Fan at the testing grounds and considered giving it to Xiao Hongchen when he became a Title Douluo and Level 9 Soul Engineer.

Jing Hongchen discovered that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were both undergoing the final, painful stage of Orochimaru’s Cursed Seal fusion. Days later, Xu Tianran prepared a vast stone gate in the Evil Eye Forest with ninth-grade Soul Tools, and Sasori activated its central slot with a scarlet scroll.

• Jing Hongchen rushed to the laboratory after sensing a violent Soul Power fluctuation and found Xiao Hongchen covered in black tattoos and writhing in pain.
• Meng Hongchen began convulsing as the same black tattoos and dense purple Soul Power emerged around her, leaving Jing Hongchen unable to help both children at once.
• Several days later, Xu Tianran inspected the preparations at the ruins in the Evil Eye Forest, where Soul Masters had installed ninth-grade Soul Tools in the stone gate’s 108 recesses.
• Xue Chen warned Xu Tianran that noble families in Ming Capital resented the transfers and wanted a share of the spoils.
• Sasori appeared beside Xu Tianran and threw a scarlet scroll into the stone gate’s central slot, making the gate shake.

Xu Tianran and Sasori opened the ancient ruin after sacrificing 108 Class 9 Soul Tools, then entered its depths in search of Shrike. They found the Soul Tool bound in a vast chamber, but neither knew what the chains were suppressing or how to remove them.

• The stone door absorbed the 108 Class 9 Soul Tools and vanished, revealing a bottomless shaft.
• Sasori gave Xu Tianran instructions for making soul-skill-sealing scrolls and said he would trade the Scientific Soul Tool after obtaining Shrike.
• Xu Tianran sent hundreds of soul masters into the shaft to clear the way, and more than thirty Soul Sages died exploring the underground labyrinth.
• Xu Tianran and Sasori entered a vast chamber and found Shrike bound by chains attached to enormous iron spikes.
• Sasori asked Xu Tianran what the chains did and how to remove them, but Xu Tianran admitted he did not know.

Xu Tianran and Sasori broke the chains binding Shrike, but only Xu Tianran could hear the coffin calling for blood. Sasori suspected a Xu Family bloodline restriction, and the chapter ended when Shrike's face changed and its surface caused Xu Tianran's hand sharp pain.

• Sasori and Xu Tianran attacked the chains binding Shrike, and Xu Tianran heard a voice repeating “blood.”
• Sasori said he could not hear the voice and promised to deal with any danger, explaining that he wanted Shrike for his own use.
• As they continued breaking chains, Sasori theorized that the voice targeted Xu Tianran because Shrike was connected to the Xu Family and might require his blood for a contract.
• Xu Tianran approached Shrike and pressed his palm against its coffin, whereupon its human face turned into a grin and his hand suddenly hurt.

Xu Tianran was trapped by the human-faced coffin’s bandages and absorbed into the mummy, which emerged as Xu Tianyou. Xu Tianyou claimed he had consumed Xu Tianran and reached Limit Douluo, but a furious figure appeared in his spiritual world.

• Xu Tianran’s bloody handprint on Shrike’s coffin triggered a purple glow that immobilized him as the human-faced coffin opened.
• The mummy’s bandages resisted Xu Tianran’s martial soul, wrapped around him, and absorbed his body into the coffin.
• A white light faded, and Xu Tianyou emerged from the coffin as Xue Chen and several guards entered the chamber.
• Xu Tianyou told Xue Chen that he had eaten Xu Tianran and used the ancestors’ treasure to break through to Limit Douluo.
• Xu Tianyou’s triumphant laughter stopped when he clutched his head, and a figure roared in fury inside his spiritual world.

Xu Tianyou explained that he had used the ancient Soul Tool Shrike to revive and break through to Limit Douluo, hoping to overcome the Sun Moon Empire’s cultivation ceiling. As he tried to destroy Xu Tianran’s lingering consciousness, Sasori attacked him, and Xu Tianran disrupted Xu Tianyou’s martial soul, allowing Sasori’s Iron Sand strike to smash him into a stone wall.

• Xu Tianyou revealed to Xu Tianran that the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Masters had long been trapped below Level 95 and that he had reached Level 98 before discovering Shrike’s resurrection method.
• Xu Tianyou explained that Shrike could revive a self stored inside it by sacrificing a Title Douluo blood descendant and refining their Soul Core.
• Xu Tianyou tried to crush Xu Tianran’s consciousness with his Limit Douluo spiritual power, but Sasori attacked him with the Kazekage Puppet’s Iron Sand.
• Sasori demanded to learn how Xu Tianyou had revived through Shrike and launched a massive black Iron Sand slash at him.
• Xu Tianran disrupted Xu Tianyou’s attempt to summon his martial soul, and Sasori’s slash struck Xu Tianyou and hurled him into a stone wall.

Xu Tianyou escaped the collapsing labyrinth and confronted the Evil Eye Tyrant, a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, while Xu Tianran’s consciousness interfered from within his sealed Spirit Sea. The chapter left Xu Tianyou’s enormous Martial Soul Avatar looming over the Evil Eye Tyrant as he prepared to strike.

• Xue Beng led the guards out of the collapsing labyrinth while Xu Tianyou threatened Xu Tianran and blasted his way to the surface.
• Xu Tianyou stored away the abandoned human-faced coffin, Shrike, then emerged into the sunlight and resolved to erase Xu Tianran’s consciousness.
• The Evil Eye Tyrant appeared and attacked Xu Tianyou with a spiritual shockwave, which his Purple Radiance Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon shattered.
• The Evil Eye Tyrant spread black energy over the camp, driving weaker soul masters mad as Xue Beng tried to contain the chaos.
• Xu Tianran battered the barrier around Xu Tianyou’s Spirit Sea while the Evil Eye Tyrant’s corrosion attacked from outside, and Xu Tianyou expanded his Martial Soul Avatar to dozens of times the beast’s size.

Xu Tianyou killed the Evil Eye Tyrant and absorbed its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, but the Evil Emperor appeared to avenge his son and overpowered him. Sasori arrived and captured the wounded Xu Tianyou, whose soul the Evil Emperor stripped and destroyed before turning his attack on Sasori.

• Xu Tianyou’s Purple Radiance Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon crushed the Evil Eye Tyrant, and Xu Tianyou celebrated his breakthrough to Limit Douluo.
• The Evil Emperor emerged through a spatial rift and struck Xu Tianyou with a spiritual blast, hurling him through several hills.
• Sasori seized the wounded Xu Tianyou with a gigantic Iron Sand hand and confronted the Evil Emperor.
• The Evil Emperor used Soul Stripping to tear Xu Tianyou’s soul from his body and destroy it.
• The Evil Emperor targeted Sasori with Soul Stripping, but Sasori stood unaffected.

Sasori escaped Evil Emperor’s attack and learned that Evil Emperor had discovered the Sky Screen’s revelation about Di Tian’s possible future. He freed Xu Tianran from Xu Tianyou’s control and handed him the Scientific Soul Tool as promised.

• Sasori’s Soul Stripping failed because his body was a Human Puppet, and he attacked Evil Emperor with Iron Sand before escaping amid the explosions.
• Evil Emperor searched for Sasori, seized a surviving Soul Master’s memories, and learned about the Sky Screen and Di Tian’s possible future.
• Sasori brought Xu Tianyou’s lifeless body to a secluded mountain forest and used Soul Power to break the seal imprisoning Xu Tianran’s consciousness.
• Xu Tianran regained control of his body, thanked the Dawn Organization, and asked Sasori about long-term cooperation with the Sun Moon Empire.
• Sasori explained that the organization’s core objective was not money, retrieved Shrike, and gave Xu Tianran the Scientific Soul Tool as promised.

Xu Tianran realized that his new appearance could make his return to power difficult, while Di Tian followed Beibei’s group through the Star Dou Great Forest and prepared a trap to capture him. The group continued searching for Xu Sanshi’s fourth soul ring as their teacher returned from scouting.

• Sasori warned Xu Tianran that his unfamiliar face might prevent his ministers from recognizing him, then vanished.
• Xu Tianran realized he now looked like Xu Tianyou and worried that his enemies might exploit the change.
• Di Tian secretly followed Beibei’s group, intending to capture Beibei and use him to draw Mu En and Xiao Xiao away from Shrek Academy.
• Di Tian planned to lure the group into a trap that would keep Mu En from acting freely.
• Xu Sanshi complained that he still had not found a suitable turtle-type soul beast, and he bantered with Beibei about their strength.
• The Soul Douluo teacher returned from searching for a soul ring for Xu Sanshi, looking pleased.

Xu Sanshi and Beibei led their group into a cave to hunt a seven-thousand-year-old Xuanming Turtle for Xu Sanshi’s fourth soul ring. Outside, Di Tian killed their Soul Douluo teacher, then entered the cave as Beibei began attacking the target.

• The Soul Douluo teacher told Xu Sanshi that he had found a seven-thousand-year-old Xuanming Turtle and ordered the students to hunt it together.
• As the group entered the cave, Di Tian appeared behind the teacher and killed him with a dragon claw.
• Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and the others passed several smaller Xuanming Turtles and found the enormous target deep inside the cave.
• Beibei ordered the assault-type soul masters to spread out, transformed with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, and launched his fourth soul skill, Thunder Dragon Head.

Beibei and Xu Sanshi discovered that the Black Tortoise in the cave had been dead for some time, with its soul ring already gone. At the cave entrance, they encountered Beast God Di Tian, and Beibei feared their missing leading teacher had already fallen to him.

• Beibei's lightning attack illuminated the cave, but the Black Tortoise did not react, and he realized something was wrong.
• Beibei and Xu Sanshi found deep claw marks across the Black Tortoise's shell and confirmed it had been dead long enough for its soul ring to disappear.
• Beibei sensed that the claw marks' aura suppressed his Martial Soul, and the group headed for the cave entrance to report what they had found.
• Jiang Nannan spotted a horned man ahead, and Beibei recognized him as Beast God Di Tian from the Sky Screen.
• Beibei told Di Tian that the group had not harmed the Star Dou Great Forest and that the Black Tortoise was already dead.
• Beibei realized their leading teacher was missing and suspected Di Tian had already killed him.

Di Tian attacked Beibei and the Shrek students, demanding that they hand over Xiao Xiao. Mu En’s spiritual clone appeared to protect them, but as his true body raced from Shrek Academy, Jiang Nannan and several students moved to rescue Xu Sanshi from the rubble.

• Di Tian seized Beibei and suppressed the students’ Martial Souls, while Xu Sanshi summoned his Xuanming Tortoise and had his shield shattered.
• Di Tian sent Xu Sanshi crashing into the cave wall, and Beibei’s burst of Light Soul Power forced Di Tian back.
• Mu En’s spiritual clone appeared and contacted his true body, who flew from Shrek Academy toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Di Tian demanded that Mu En hand over Xiao Xiao in exchange for sparing Beibei, and Beibei urged Mu En not to surrender her.
• Mu En ordered Jiang Nannan and several students to rescue Xu Sanshi, and they headed for the rubble covering him.

Di Tian defeated Mu En’s spiritual power avatar, abducted Beibei, and collapsed the cave with Jiang Nannan and the others buried inside. Xu Sanshi later awoke in a strange underground cave covered in slime, where he found Jiang Nannan and the other students unconscious but Beibei missing, then hid when he heard movement.

• Di Tian stopped Mu En from attacking by warning that their fight would collapse the cave, then killed Mu En’s avatar and took Beibei.
• Di Tian said he would go to Sunset Forest and wait for Shrek Academy to send Xiao Xiao, then collapsed the cave, burying Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and the others.
• Xu Sanshi woke in a slime-filled underground pool and realized that the other members of the soul-hunting team were unconscious.
• Xu Sanshi searched for Beibei but found only the unconscious Jiang Nannan, whose condition left him confused.
• When Xu Sanshi heard gravel shifting deeper in the cave, he hid in a concealed crack and watched for whoever was approaching.
