Chapter Summaries

The Sky Screen’s question revealed the Ring Ascension Technique, which could raise Soul Ring quality and sent Soul Masters and major factions scrambling to consider its implications. As everyone prepared answers about who could join Su Mo Academy, the Shrek Seven Monsters confidently wrote down their own names alongside Ning Rongrong.

• Soul Masters realized Su Mo’s Second Soul Ring had changed from purple to black and concluded that the Ring Ascension Technique could upgrade Soul Rings.
• Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall to gather its records of suitable geniuses and considered how the technique could strengthen her Twin Martial Souls.
• Ning Fengzhi decided the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would skip the question to avoid attracting more resentment.
• Yu Yuanzhen rejected searching for clues about Su Mo Academy and told the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to list likely recruits.
• Tang Xiao placed his hopes in Tang Yuehua, while Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillar guardians gave up on answering because Sea God Island lacked information.
• The Shrek Seven Monsters wrote down their names with confidence, believing they would join Su Mo Academy if Ning Rongrong could get in.

Bibi Dong used Spirit Hall’s intelligence to submit a strong list of candidates for Su Mo Academy and won the round’s reward. After the Sky Screen revealed her personal Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she learned it could fuse her two Martial Souls and combine the power of all eighteen Soul Rings.

• Bibi Dong excluded Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation, then submitted ten candidate names based on Spirit Hall’s records.
• Ning Fengzhi entered Ning Rongrong, while the Shrek group submitted their guesses for the academy’s first class.
• The Sky Screen announced the ten correct names: Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Huo Wushuang, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Shui Yue'er, and Ning Rongrong.
• The Sky Screen named Bibi Dong’s answer the most complete and awarded her the personal Martial Soul Fusion Skill Spider God Descends.
• Bibi Dong learned Spider God Descends fused her Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, combining the power of their eighteen Soul Rings.

Bibi Dong tested her new Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Spider God Descends, while the Sky Screen revealed Su Mo Academy’s first ten students. The list left the Shrek group furious that Ning Rongrong was the only one of them selected.

• Bibi Dong fused the phantoms of her two Martial Souls into a giant spider and felt her strength more than double.
• The Sky Screen named Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Huo Wushuang, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Shui Yue'er, and Ning Rongrong as Su Mo Academy’s first students.
• Academies and sects regretted including Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation in their answers, while Bibi Dong celebrated receiving the reward and dismissed the idea of sending Spirit Hall students to another academy.
• The Shrek group protested that only Ning Rongrong had been selected and questioned why students they considered weaker had qualified.

Yu Xiaogang explained why several Shrek members were absent from Su Mo Academy’s recruitment list, but the Sky Screen revealed that Ma Hongjun and Oscar had taken the entrance examination and been rejected. It showed Su Mo disqualifying them after Ma Hongjun quoted Flender’s saying about daring to cause trouble.

• Yu Xiaogang argued that the Shrek members were missing from the list because they had not taken Su Mo Academy’s entrance examination, while Ning Rongrong explained that she had received a place through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• The Sky Screen showed Su Mo Academy’s recruitment, where candidates needed at least rank seven Innate Soul Power to pass the first stage.
• Ma Hongjun and Oscar appeared in the examination queue, surprising the Shrek group and disproving Yu Xiaogang’s explanation.
• The Sky Screen showed Ma Hongjun picking a fight and defending himself with Flender’s saying that a Soul Master who did not dare cause trouble was not a good Soul Master.
• Su Mo reprimanded Ma Hongjun, called the saying morally warped, and revoked Ma Hongjun and Oscar’s examination qualifications.

After Ma Hongjun and Oscar were disqualified from Su Mo Academy’s admissions, Flender and the Shrek students confronted the consequences of Flender’s teachings and agreed that picking fights was not courage. The Sky Screen then showed Su Mo beginning the comprehension test, where applicants had to imitate his Soul Power Ball before the incense burned out.

• Su Mo disqualified Ma Hongjun and Oscar after Ma Hongjun challenged him, and both left the examination grounds in shame.
• Flender recognized that his slogan about causing trouble had encouraged poor judgment, while Ma Hongjun and the others heard the criticism.
• Tang San agreed that picking fights and refusing to fear trouble were different, and Flender admitted his mistake and told Ma Hongjun to change.
• Su Mo began the second admissions test by demonstrating the Soul Power Ball and asking applicants to imitate it within the time it took an incense stick to burn.
• Onlookers watched the demonstration and began trying to create Soul Power Balls themselves.

As the Sky Screen showed Su Mo demonstrating the Soul Power Ball, people across the Original-Work World tried to imitate the skill. Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and other young soul masters gradually succeeded, while Meng Yiran watched her counterpart appear among Su Mo’s chosen team and Dragon Duke Meng Shu urged her to try.

• Ning Rongrong failed five times to form a Soul Power Ball, while Oscar stabilized his Soul Power and succeeded on his first attempt.
• Oscar explained that stability mattered more than force, and Ning Rongrong followed his advice and formed a wobbling ball on her sixth attempt.
• Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er formed Soul Power Balls after several tries, with Shui Bing'er helping her sister keep hers steady.
• Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Dugu Yan, and others began practicing and succeeded at roughly the same pace as their Sky Screen counterparts.
• Meng Yiran watched her counterpart among Su Mo’s team at Snake Dragon Villa, and Dragon Duke Meng Shu urged her to try the skill.

Meng Yiran successfully created a Soul Power Ball, while people across the continent followed Su Mo’s example and began trying to create Soul Skills themselves. As Su Mo Academy opened, Su Mo introduced a Rule-Type Secrecy Contract that would prevent students from passing on the skills he taught them.

• Meng Yiran formed a stable Soul Power Ball on her fourth attempt, and Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang celebrated her achievement.
• People across the continent tried condensing Soul Power Balls, and Bibi Dong recognized Su Mo’s lesson as teaching Soul Masters to create through rules.
• Su Mo began the first day of classes at Su Mo Academy by presenting his ten students with a Secrecy Contract.
• Su Mo explained that students who signed could use his self-created Soul Skills but could not teach them to others.
• Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen discussed the contract’s implications, with Yu Yuanzhen concluding that students could return stronger but could not bring Su Mo’s teachings back to their sects.

Su Mo and Xiao Wu entered Slaughter City and fought their way through its deadly Hell Slaughter Arena. There, Su Mo tricked a grief-stricken Tang Hao into handing over Ah Yin’s Soul Bone, then told him Ah Yin was dead.

• The narrator revealed that Su Mo and Xiao Wu went to Slaughter City, where Soul Masters could not use Soul Skills.
• Su Mo and Xiao Wu entered the Inner City and won their Hell Slaughter Arena matches against the Fallen Ones.
• Tang Hao saw Xiao Wu and begged her to tell him whether Ah Yin was still alive.
• Su Mo offered to help Tang Hao find Ah Yin in exchange for her Soul Bone, and Tang Hao gave it to him.
• Su Mo told Tang Hao that Ah Yin was dead, prompting Tang Hao to unleash his Soul Power and roar in denial.

The Sky Screen revealed how Su Mo imprisoned a deranged Tang Hao, studied his techniques, and ultimately killed him for his Soul Bones and Clear Sky Sect inheritance. Watching his alternate self’s fate, Tang Hao resolved to stop drinking and avoid becoming the same.

• Su Mo trapped Tang Hao in his Void Space after Tang Hao attacked Xiao Wu, leaving him unable to escape.
• Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect elders reacted to Tang Hao’s imprisonment, while Tang Xiao concluded it could keep the ruined Tang Hao from causing further harm.
• Su Mo provoked Tang Hao into using the Great Sumeru Hammer, Ring Detonation, and Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, then recreated the techniques as Self-Created Soul Skills.
• The Sky Screen revealed that Su Mo killed Tang Hao and obtained the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, six top-grade Soul Bones, and Clear Sky Sect’s secret techniques.
• Tang Hao watched the scenes and resolved not to drown himself in alcohol or meet the same fate as his alternate self.

Tang San learned from the Sky Screen that his father, Tang Hao, was the Clear Sky Douluo, while Yu Xiaogang explained that Tang Hao had asked him to protect Tang San and conceal the truth until he was strong enough. The Sky Screen then revealed that Ah Yin had been a transformed Blue Silver Emperor who sacrificed herself, leaving a seed Tang Hao had searched for, and that she had already perished.

• Tang San recognized the disheveled man on the Sky Screen as his father after Tang Hao released nine Soul Rings and was revealed to be a Titled Douluo.
• Tang San's companions reacted with shock when he identified the man as Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo.
• Flender and Yu Xiaogang confirmed Tang Hao's identity and told Tang San that Tang Hao had asked Yu Xiaogang to care for him until he was strong enough to learn the truth.
• Tang San struggled with his father's secrecy and his memories of being neglected, while Xiao Wu worried that Tang Hao might know she was a transformed Soul Beast.
• The Sky Screen revealed that Ah Yin had been a transformed Blue Silver Emperor, had sacrificed herself for Tang Hao's ninth Soul Ring, and had left behind a seed.
• Su Mo told Tang Hao that Ah Yin had perished on the night of Soul Beast Extinction, leaving the Shrek group stunned.

After the Sky Screen revealed that Tang San’s mother was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, it asked how long Su Mo took to clear Slaughter City. Tang Xiao and Bibi Dong both considered Su Mo’s likely time and entered answers, leaving Bibi Dong uncertain.

• Tang San and his companions realized his Blue Silver Grass was the Blue Silver Emperor inherited from his mother, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• Xiao Wu understood that Tang Hao had kept her identity secret because his own wife had also been a Soul Beast.
• The Sky Screen asked how long Su Mo needed to win one hundred consecutive Hell Slaughter Arena matches, revealing the clearing times of Tang Chen, Tang Hao, and Bibi Dong.
• People across the world debated the records and how quickly Su Mo might clear Slaughter City.
• Tang Xiao wrote “One year” as his answer, while Bibi Dong also wrote “One year” before crossing it out.

Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, the Shrek group, Bo Saixi, and Qian Daoliu guessed how long Su Mo took to complete one hundred Hell Slaughter Arena matches. The sky screen revealed that Su Mo and Xiao Wu fought once a day and finished in one hundred days, leaving soul masters stunned by their speed and the number of Fallen Ones they killed.

• Bibi Dong guessed Su Mo completed a Hell Slaughter Arena match each day and submitted one hundred days.
• Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen reasoned that Su Mo had beaten Tang Chen's record and both guessed half a year, while the Shrek group debated guesses ranging from a year to half a year.
• Bo Saixi guessed one year and nine months, while Qian Daoliu guessed one year because Su Mo also had to help Xiao Wu complete her matches.
• The answering time ended, and the sky screen revealed that Su Mo and Xiao Wu completed one hundred matches in one hundred days by fighting once per day.
• Soul masters reacted with shock, calculating that Su Mo and Xiao Wu had killed eighteen hundred Fallen Ones between them.

The Sky Screen revealed that Su Mo cleared Slaughter City in one hundred days, far faster than Tang Chen or Tang Hao, leaving powerful figures stunned by his strength and possible resistance to the Aura of Slaughter. Bibi Dong was the sole person to guess correctly for the second time in a row and received two 100,000-year Soul Rings.

• Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect elders realized Su Mo had beaten Tang Chen’s record by nearly sixfold, and Tang Xiao wondered whether Su Mo could evade the Aura of Slaughter.
• Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi reflected on Su Mo surpassing Tang Chen, while Tang Hao struggled to understand how Su Mo endured Slaughter City without resting.
• Soul Masters across the continent reacted with disbelief to the one-hundred-day answer and speculated about who had guessed correctly.
• The Sky Screen announced that Bibi Dong was the only correct respondent and doubled her reward for answering correctly twice consecutively.
• Bibi Dong received two 100,000-year Soul Rings, prompting widespread amazement and concern about Spirit Hall’s growing power.

Bibi Dong absorbed two 100,000-year Soul Rings, completed her second Martial Soul, and reached level 99, fulfilling the eighth Rakshasa God Trial. The Sky Screen then showed Su Mo Academy students learning Martial Soul Projection, leaving the Original-Work World stunned by a technique that let beast Martial Souls fight outside their users before level 70.

• Bibi Dong absorbed both rewarded 100,000-year Soul Rings and completed all eighteen Soul Rings across her two Martial Souls.
• Bibi Dong reached level 99 and fulfilled the eighth Rakshasa God Trial, with only the ninth trial remaining before she could become the Rakshasa God.
• The Sky Screen showed all ten Su Mo Academy students demonstrating Su Mo's Teleportation technique.
• Su Mo taught the students Martial Soul Projection, which let beast Martial Souls separate from their users as energy forms before level 70.
• Feng Xiaotian, Yu Tianheng, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Dugu Yan successfully projected their Martial Souls, while Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran did not.
• Soul Masters in the Original-Work World reacted with shock to the projected Martial Souls' independent attacks and potential to nearly double their users' combat strength.

People in the Original-Work World watched their counterparts demonstrate powerful Martial Soul Projection and other skills, envying the training Su Mo had given them. A year passed in the Sky Screen World, and just as its Soul Master Tournament began, the Sky Screen switched to a new question-and-answer challenge.

• Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin watched their counterparts project powerful Thunder Dragons and wished they could learn the skill.
• Dugu Yan saw her counterpart use the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison without concern and suspected Su Mo had solved the Martial Soul's poison problem.
• Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er watched their counterparts' projected Martial Souls and longed to attend Su Mo Academy.
• Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu regretted that they could not learn Su Mo's Self-Created Soul Skills, while Feng Xiaotian wondered how Su Mo had trained his counterpart.
• A year passed in the Sky Screen World, and the Soul Master Tournament began before the Sky Screen switched to question-and-answer mode.
• The Sky Screen asked which team besides Su Mo Academy would suddenly rise to prominence and astound the world in the tournament.

Soul Masters across the Original-Work World struggled to guess which unexpected team had impressed at the Soul Master Tournament, since the Sky Screen had shown them no matches. The Barak Team was revealed as the answer, and more than ninety-eight thousand correct guessers received one of Su Mo’s self-created Soul Skills.

• Bibi Dong, Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi, and other leaders ruled out established powerhouses but lacked enough information to identify a lesser-known team.
• Soul Masters across the continent submitted guesses, often choosing weak teams from their hometowns, while Bo Saixi left her answer blank.
• The Sky Screen revealed that the Barak Team had suddenly risen to prominence and astonished the world.
• More than ninety-eight thousand correct guessers received Martial Soul Projection if they used Beast Martial Souls, or Artifact Control Technique if they used tool Martial Souls.

After Bibi Dong realized Artifact Control Technique could work with her Rakshasa Demon Scythe, Spirit Hall copied and spread the Sky Screen rewards across the continent. Soul Masters who had answered correctly grew furious as others bought the same techniques cheaply, and a young Soul Master began practicing Martial Soul Projection in a tavern.

• Bibi Dong ordered a copy of Artifact Control Technique after recognizing its potential with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
• Word spread from Spirit City that Martial Soul Projection and Artifact Control Technique could be copied and shared without a Secrecy Contract.
• Soul Masters across the continent began selling and buying copies for ten Silver Soul Coins.
• Those who had answered the Sky Screen question correctly complained that everyone could now obtain their rewards, while those who had answered incorrectly celebrated.
• A middle-aged Soul Master read the instructions for Martial Soul Projection in a tavern, and a young Soul Master began practicing it.

Martial Soul Projection and the Artifact Control Technique spread across the Douluo Continent, and major sects began teaching Su Mo’s skills to their disciples. The Sky Screen announced that millions of Soul Masters were cultivating the techniques as Su Mo’s legendary life continued.

• Soul Masters in a tavern tested Martial Soul Projection and the Artifact Control Technique, then crowded together to copy the manuscripts.
• Ning Fengzhi ordered Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples to cultivate the Artifact Control Technique and beast martial soul elders to try Martial Soul Projection.
• Yu Yuanzhen ordered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to learn Martial Soul Projection and praised Su Mo for strengthening Soul Masters across the continent.
• Tang Xiao had Clear Sky Sect disciples test the Artifact Control Technique with the Clear Sky Hammer and approved copying it for the sect.
• The Sky Screen reported that millions of Soul Masters were cultivating both techniques and declared that Su Mo’s legendary life continued.

The Sky Screen showed Tang San leading the Barak Team to defeat the Star Luo Imperial Team with blue silver grass and Tang Sect techniques organized by Yu Xiaogang. The chapter ended by asking where Tang San’s Self-Created Soul Skills came from, since he had not developed them through his own research.

• Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and blue silver grass to overwhelm the Barak Kingdom region’s veteran team.
• The narrator explained that Yu Xiaogang had organized Tang San’s Tang Sect techniques and taught them to the Barak Team.
• The Barak Team used its Self-Created Soul Skills to defeat the Star Luo Imperial Team and prevent its members from combining their strongest attacks.
• Bibi Dong wondered whether Yu Xiaogang or Spirit Hall had been responsible for his lack of progress while he worked there.
• The Sky Screen asked where Tang San’s Self-Created Soul Skills had come from.

People across the continent debated who had taught Tang San his Self-Created Soul Skills, while Bibi Dong, Tang Xiao, and Ning Fengzhi considered possible answers. Tang Hao's memories revealed that Tang San had secretly cultivated from infancy, deepening his suspicions about the source of his son's skills.

• People beneath the Sky Screen debated whether Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, or the Clear Sky Sect had taught Tang San his skills, noting that they differed from the sect's techniques.
• Bibi Dong concluded that Tang Hao might have developed the skills for his son and submitted Tang Hao as her answer.
• Tang Xiao and Ning Fengzhi reasoned that Tang San's skills came from a complete legacy, though neither could identify its source.
• Tang Hao remembered noticing Tang San secretly cultivating when he was barely over a year old and suspecting he was another man's child until Tang San awakened the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Soul Masters argued over the likely teacher, while some proposed finding Tang San in their world and asking him directly.
