Chapter Summaries

Feng Tianyu joined the Soul Guidance Department for three years of training under Qian Duoduo while securing ten portions of whale rubber from the Martial Soul Department. Qian Duoduo took him to the department’s teaching building and offered to soften the whale rubber in his Soul Guidance Furnace.

• Qian Duoduo welcomed Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf as his Soul Tool students, while Feng Tianyu asked Yan Shaozhe for the promised whale rubber.
• Yan Shaozhe gave Feng Tianyu ten portions of whale rubber, which had cost the Martial Soul Department eight hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

• Qian Duoduo explained the department’s work and testing areas and offered to show Feng Tianyu the testing area.
• Feng Tianyu asked for help softening the whale rubber, and Qian Duoduo offered to use his Level 8 Soul Guidance Furnace.

Qian Duoduo softened three-thousand-year-old Whale Rubber for Feng Tianyu, who ate it and was overwhelmed by heat and restless energy. Qian Duoduo restrained him and redirected that energy into forging, strengthening Feng Tianyu’s body as the hammering continued.

• Qian Duoduo heated the Soul Guidance Furnace and softened the Whale Rubber Feng Tianyu had received from Yan Shaozhe.
• Feng Tianyu explained that Whale Rubber could strengthen his body but might leave him hot, restless, and unable to control himself, then ate it.
• Feng Tianyu became feverish and began to lose control, so Qian Duoduo restrained him and took him to forge metal instead.
• Qian Duoduo melted rare minerals, handed Feng Tianyu a hammer, and guided him in striking the rough Soul Guidance Metal.
• Feng Tianyu found a steady rhythm, poured his energy into hammering, and strengthened his muscles, bones, meridians, and body.

Feng Tianyu finished absorbing Whale Rubber while forging under Qian Duoduo’s guidance, then went to wash off and planned to keep practicing. In the workshop, Qian Duoduo discovered Grey Wolf could read and discuss Soul Tools, while Grey Wolf privately imagined using Soul Power as an endless energy source and hoped to return home to his family.

Ma Xiaotao confronted Feng Tianyu and demanded he return to the Martial Soul Department, then challenged him to fight in the Soul Fighting Arena. Feng Tianyu accepted her challenge and vowed to win, catching Mu En’s attention.

• Feng Tianyu, Grey Wolf, and Beibei encountered Ma Xiaotao outside the dormitory, where Beibei identified her as the academy’s notorious Flame Maniac.
• Ma Xiaotao accused Feng Tianyu of abandoning the Martial Soul Department and ordered him to return, but he refused and told her to mind her own business.
• Ma Xiaotao stopped her punch just short of Feng Tianyu’s face and challenged him to meet her in the Soul Fighting Arena within a year.

• Feng Tianyu declared that he would accept Ma Xiaotao’s challenge and win, prompting Mu En to open his eyes and take notice.

After Ma Xiaotao challenged Feng Tianyu to fight in a year, he decided to rely on Soul Tools to bridge their power gap. Qian Duoduo agreed to personally sponsor the rare metals and promised to make Feng Tianyu defensive Soul Tools, leaving the plan in Grey Wolf’s hands.

• News spread that Ma Xiaotao had challenged first-year Feng Tianyu to a Soul Fighting Arena match one year later, and students blamed him for leaving the Martial Soul Department for the Soul Guidance Department.
• Feng Tianyu spotted Fan Yu and He Caitou, while Fan Yu privately resolved to block Feng Tianyu from joining the Ultimate Soldier Project and He Caitou vowed to teach him a lesson.

Over ten days of training, Feng Tianyu strengthened his body through Whale Rubber and blacksmithing while Grey Wolf mastered array engraving and became a Level 1 Soul Engineer. Grey Wolf then used his skills to build an improved six-barreled Fixed Soul Tool, which Feng Tianyu recognized as a Gatling launcher, and they prepared to test it.

• Grey Wolf rapidly learned to engrave Soul Guidance Arrays as Feng Tianyu ate Whale Rubber and practiced forging Soul Guidance Metal.
• Over the next ten days, Feng Tianyu improved his strength and made a heavy Iron Vest, while Grey Wolf learned hundreds of arrays and earned Qian Duoduo's approval to engrave metal.
• Grey Wolf engraved a Core Array into Soul Guidance Metal, became a Level 1 Soul Engineer, and assembled a Soul Guidance Ray Gun, which he dismissed as inferior to his Wind Blade Array.
• Twenty days later, Grey Wolf unveiled an improved six-barreled Fixed Soul Tool and prepared a belt of bullets engraved with Explosion Arrays and Combustion Arrays.
• Feng Tianyu recognized Grey Wolf's launcher as a Gatling, and they prepared to take it to the testing area.

Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf tested the Wolf King No. 1 Gatling Heavy Machine Gun, proving its immense firepower and low ammunition cost could let low-level Soul Masters threaten much stronger opponents. Qian Duoduo warned them to keep the new Soul Tool secret, fearing powerful Soul Masters would try to destroy it and its inventors.

• Grey Wolf operated the first test firing and emptied six thousand rounds in about a minute, confirming the Gatling Heavy Machine Gun was powerful and stable.
• Feng Tianyu fired another six thousand rounds, while Qian Duoduo assessed that bullets could penetrate targets and be produced far more cheaply than Soul Guidance Cannon shells.
• The test destroyed the targets and riddled the black wall with bullet holes, leaving Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf nearly out of Soul Power.
• Qian Duoduo urged Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf to keep the weapon secret, warning that high-level Soul Masters and Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department could see it as a threat.

Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf set aside revolutionary firearms to develop a homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, and Qian Duoduo tested their creation. The shell successfully struck its target after being fired off-course, leaving Qian Duoduo amazed by its potential.

• Feng Tianyu agreed with Dean Qian that they should put revolutionary firearm designs on hold and asked Grey Wolf to improve Fixed Soul Cannon Shell accuracy.
• Grey Wolf proposed giving the shells a homing design, and Qian Duoduo offered Soul Guidance Metal and workshop support for the attempt.
• Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf collected the Gatling weapon's shell casings and bullets, then spent two months developing a Level 4 Homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shell.
• Feng Tianyu drew the target's shape on the shell and asked Qian Duoduo to test it without aiming directly at the target.
• Qian Duoduo fired the shell 45 degrees away from the target, and it arced through the air to hit and destroy it.
• Qian Duoduo marveled at the shell's success and imagined using higher-level homing shells against powerful Soul Masters.

Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf gave Qian Duoduo the blueprints for their Homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shells in exchange for a private workshop and rare ores. After four months of hard work, Feng Tianyu reached Level 20 Soul Power and set out with Qian Duoduo to find his Second Soul Ring.
