Chapter Summaries

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Zichuan asked Tang Ya to return to Shrek Academy and recruit talented students for the Body Sect, offering a path toward rebuilding the Tang Sect. Tang Ya agreed and kissed him before departing, while Zichuan turned back toward the Body Sect to prepare for a battle with Shrek in one month.

• Zichuan left the valley with Tang Ya after gaining the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's favor and the Eye of Destiny, then announced he would prepare for a battle in a month.
• At the forest's outskirts, Zichuan urged Tang Ya to return to Shrek Academy and recruit overlooked or dissatisfied students for the Body Sect.
• Tang Ya agreed to help build the Body Sect's talent pool and strengthen her hopes of rebuilding the Tang Sect.
• Tang Ya kissed Zichuan on the cheek, promised another reward if he beat Shrek, and hurried toward the academy.
• Zichuan reacted bashfully to Tang Ya's kiss, brushed off the God of Destruction's teasing, and set off for the Body Sect to prepare.

Zichuan returned to the Body Sect and learned that his cultivation had stalled as he approached Rank 70. Du Busi discovered that Zichuan was on the verge of condensing a Soul Core, a dangerous process that could make his opposing Destruction and Life powers tear his body apart.

• Zichuan told Du Busi about his experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest and his upcoming challenge against Xuan Zi, and Du Busi promised to lead the Body Sect to support him.
• Du Busi said the sect had grown stronger, with ten Title Douluo-level elders, and urged Zichuan to prepare for the fight against Shrek.
• Zichuan returned to his cultivation chamber and found that an invisible resistance stopped his Soul Power from advancing toward Rank 67.
• The God of Destruction examined Zichuan and suggested that his two balanced powers had created an unusual bottleneck, then advised him to consult Du Busi.
• Du Busi examined Zichuan and explained that he was approaching Soul Core condensation, which could shatter the balance between his Heart of Destruction and Heart of Life and kill him.

Zichuan learned that his opposing Hearts of Destruction and Life meant he had to form two Soul Cores simultaneously before level 70 or risk dying. As his challenge against Shrek approached, a month of experiments failed to reveal a way forward, leaving him stuck at level 66.

• Du Busi warned Zichuan that his opposing powers made condensing Soul Cores exceptionally dangerous and unlike anything he had encountered.
• The God of Destruction explained that Zichuan had to form both Soul Cores at the same time because either power overwhelming the other would kill him.
• The God of Destruction urged Zichuan to focus on facing Shrek first while he and Du Busi searched for a solution.
• Zichuan spent the following month trying different ways to balance his two powers, but each attempt caused injuries or internal clashes and failed.
• Zichuan remained at level 66 as his battle with Shrek drew near.

After a month of failing to condense a Soul Core, Zichuan set out with Du Busi and Long Aotian to challenge Shrek Academy. At Shrek, Mu En and the academy’s leaders discussed the wager Xuan Zi had made, worried about the consequences of winning or losing.

Shrek prepared its strongest Inner Court team to fight Zichuan, who had insulted the academy and crippled Beibei. After the Shrek elites waited for hours and assumed he would not come, Zichuan arrived with Long Aotian and Du Busi, provoking Ma Xiaotao with his confident entrance.

• Xuan Zi told Mu En that Zichuan had belittled Shrek and described how he had crippled Beibei with one punch.
• Xuan Zi named Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Yao Haoyue, Gongyang Mo, Xixi, and Chen Zifeng as Shrek's challengers, and Mu En accepted the wager.
• Ma Xiaotao and the other Inner Court elites mocked Zichuan as they waited through the day, growing impatient when he did not appear.
• Zichuan, Long Aotian, and Du Busi crashed into the training grounds, smashing the ground and startling the nearby students.
• Zichuan apologized for the wait and called himself the protagonist making a late entrance, enraging Ma Xiaotao.

Zichuan provoked Shrek’s reserve team by calling its geniuses weak, but Mu En recognized his powerful Bloodline Power and accepted his proposal to stage the wager before the academy’s students. The chapter ended with Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo preparing a public arena at Sea God Lake for Zichuan to challenge Shrek’s geniuses.

• Zichuan insulted Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and the other reserve members, dismissing them as weak and calling everyone present trash.

• Ma Xiaotao entered the field, raising Shrek’s students’ hopes, while Zichuan dismissed her fire as something he barely feared.

• Ma Xiaotao unleashed her third and fourth Soul Skills, engulfing Zichuan in evil fire, but the flames failed to burn his skin.
• Zichuan suddenly closed in and struck Ma Xiaotao with one punch, breaking her arms’ defense and sending her crashing onto the ice.
• Zichuan asked the remaining fighters who would be next as the assembled Shrek students watched in fear and despair.

Zichuan defeated Ma Xiaotao on the shore of Sea God Lake, revealing extraordinary resistance to ice and fire without explaining its source. After Ma Xiaotao unleashed her strongest attack in a rage, he knocked her unconscious with another punch, leaving Shrek’s students stunned by his strength.

• Zichuan told Ma Xiaotao that her flames could not harm him, while Mu En recognized his remarkable Ice-Fire Immunity and Zichuan concealed how he had gained it.
• Ma Xiaotao lost control of her evil fire and launched her fifth and sixth Soul Skills at Zichuan in a desperate attack.
• Zichuan met Ma Xiaotao’s phoenix attack with a single punch, remaining unharmed as the collision shook the lakeshore.
• Ma Xiaotao was left unconscious with both arms broken, and the watching Shrek students wondered who could challenge Zichuan.

After Zichuan defeated Shrek Academy’s strongest present students, Mu En admitted defeat and accepted the wager. Zichuan set two immediate conditions for Shrek and left the third for later.

• Zichuan demanded that Shrek not obstruct students who chose to join the Body Sect.
• Zichuan required Shrek to teach the Body Sect Soul Tool knowledge except for its core secrets and highest-level techniques.
• Zichuan left his third condition undecided and promised it would not violate morality or cross a bottom line.

Zichuan secured Mu En’s agreement to let Body Sect disciples study Shrek’s non-secret Soul Tool technology, then announced the creation of Body Academy and its generous admissions and student-support policies. As Shrek’s leaders realized he could freely recruit their students, Long Aotian revealed that he was a fourteen-and-a-half-year-old Level 61 Soul Emperor and displayed his Jade Gold True Body.

• Mu En agreed to Zichuan’s two conditions, with the scope of Soul Tool technology exchange to be discussed with Qian Duoduo.
• Zichuan announced that the Body Sect would establish Body Academy and described its admissions, resources, instruction, and graduate support.
• Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo realized Zichuan’s plan could draw Shrek students away now that they were free to withdraw.

• Long Aotian released his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, revealing his Jade Gold True Body.

• Bear Lord questioned whether Zichuan could withstand a blow and pressed him with his intimidating aura.

Zichuan withstood Bear Lord’s escalating test of strength and briefly forced the powerful soul beast back with his soul skills. Di Tian stopped the confrontation, praised Zichuan, and revealed that Little Gold had gained greatly by bonding its fortune with him.

• Zichuan calmly accepted Bear Lord’s challenge and met his enormous paw with his shoulder.
