Chapter Summaries

After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the arena, Xiao Hongchen took Meng Hongchen to the woods to test whether they could develop another fusion skill. By combining his Three-Legged Golden Toad and Brain Martial Souls with Meng Hongchen’s Vermilion Clear Ice Toad, they created an upgraded Red Dust Attachment.

• Xu Tianzhen and Xiao Hongchen teased Meng Hongchen about her feelings for Wang Dong, leaving her miserable after learning Wang Dong was a girl.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong fused their Martial Souls and used Golden Road to freeze Bei Bei and Ye Wuqing.
• Inspired by their fusion skill, Xiao Hongchen hurriedly took Meng Hongchen outside Star Luo City to test a second fusion skill of their own.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen failed to fuse his Brain Martial Soul directly with her Vermilion Clear Ice Toad, so he added his Three-Legged Golden Toad as the core.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen successfully created an upgraded Red Dust Attachment with silver spiritual power and unleashed its energy storm into the woods.

After Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen tested their enhanced Red Dust Attachment, Xiao learned it had become a devastating but costly trump card. At the Starlight Auction, Xiao and Jing Hongchen noticed Mingde Hall’s advanced technology was being sold, and Jing ordered Xiao to buy the Level 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonballs.

• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen unleashed Red Dust Attachment in the woods, destroying a wide area before escaping back to the Star Emperor Hotel.
• Xiao Hongchen concluded that their added Spiritual Power shielding and control had strengthened Red Dust Attachment, though it consumed much of their Soul Power and Spiritual Power.
• Xiao Hongchen accepted the Starlight Auction House’s invitation, planning to acquire the Snow Empress Embryo and Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone before Huo Yuhao could get them.
• Xiao Hongchen and the Sun Moon Team attended the auction, where Dai Yaoheng bought a Mingde Hall Level 8 Soul Tool.
• Jing Hongchen grew wary when the auction presented twelve Level 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonballs, and he told Xiao Hongchen to find a chance to buy them.

At the Starlight Auction, Xiao Hongchen outbid Shrek for Level Six Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonballs and learned that Meng Hongchen could not safely absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. Determined to keep Huo Yuhao from obtaining it, Xiao warned the auction house that the Soul Bone was lethal to anyone without the Ultimate Ice attribute.

• Wang Yan bid on the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonballs at the last moment, but Xiao Hongchen's 660,000-Gold-Soul-Coin bid secured them.
• Princess Jiujiu presented an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone with the Ice Explosion ability, and Meng Hongchen asked Jing Hongchen to buy it for her.
• Jing Hongchen refused Meng's request, explaining that the Soul Bone's powerful ice attribute could upset the balance between ice and fire in her body and let her poison run wild.
• Xiao Hongchen insisted that Jing Hongchen acquire the Soul Bone because he did not want Huo Yuhao to fuse with it.
• Xiao Hongchen told Qingxin to warn Xu Jiujiu that only Soul Masters with the Ultimate Ice attribute could absorb the Soul Bone safely, and threatened to expose the auction house if it concealed the danger.

Xu Jiawei agreed to let the auction proceed normally after Xiao Hongchen threatened to reveal that only a Soul Master with Ultimate Ice could absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. Xiao Hongchen won the Soul Bone, but the auction’s unveiling of the Snow Empress Embryo in a God Sealing Platform left Jing Hongchen furious and determined to win it.

• Qingxin told Xu Jiujiu that Xiao Hongchen would keep the Ultimate Ice secret private if the auction house did not deliberately raise the Soul Bone’s price.
• Xu Jiawei explained that the threat was an open plot: if anyone else won the Soul Bone, the Sun Moon Empire would expose the secret and risk the auction house’s reputation.
• Wang Yan bid twice on the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone before giving up, and Xiao Hongchen won it for twenty million Gold Soul Coins with Jing Hongchen paying.
• Princess Jiujiu displayed the Snow Empress Embryo sealed inside a God Sealing Platform, which Jing Hongchen recognized as a Level 9 Soul Tool.
• Jing Hongchen called the God Sealing Platform’s appearance outright treason and insisted that they must win the embryo.

Xiao Hongchen asked Meng Hongchen whether she wanted the Hundred Thousand Year Embryo, and she chose to let him have it. Moved by her trust, Xiao promised to become the strongest, while Jing Hongchen decided to support his grandchildren’s choice.

• Xiao Hongchen asked Meng Hongchen if she wanted the Snow Empress Embryo, and she nearly accepted before deciding to leave it to him.
• Meng Hongchen told Xiao Hongchen she would be happy watching him become the strongest, and he solemnly promised he had heard her wish and would fulfill it.
• Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi showed their support for Xiao Hongchen, who joked that the three girls were his wings.
• Jing Hongchen watched Meng Hongchen step aside and resolved to give Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen his full support.

Jing Hongchen secured the Snow Empress Embryo and watched the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy advance to the tournament final. Before the match, he provoked Xuan Zi over Shrek’s depleted team, and their clash of power forced several Titled Douluos to intervene.

• Xuan Zi and Jing Hongchen ended their tense confrontation, and the finals began in Star Luo City.
• Xiao Hongchen deployed two hundred concealed soul cannons, while Meng Hongchen and Ye Guyi activated Soul Tool Armor.
• Xu Tianzhen fired Sun God Light at Xu Sanshi, who used Black Tortoise Shield Formation to block it while He Caitou recognized her as his cousin and resolved to kill her.
• He Caitou gave his teammates cigars that boosted their abilities, and Shrek’s team advanced under Xu Sanshi’s defense.
• Xiao Hongchen fired all two hundred cannons, but his Brain Martial Soul’s Imprint prevented Xu Sanshi’s Black Tortoise Displacement from working, prompting Ma Xiaotao to demand an explanation.

Xiao Hongchen overwhelmed Shrek Academy with a barrage of Soul Cannons, then revealed a copied Black Tortoise Displacement skill that pulled Ma Xiaotao into the Sun Moon team’s midst. Meng Hongchen and Ye Guyi launched powerful attacks against her, leaving the fight at a critical moment.

• Xiao Hongchen unleashed two hundred Soul Cannons, and Shrek’s fighters used their strongest skills to destroy or withstand the barrage.
• Ma Xiaotao’s Phoenix Meteor Shower destroyed nearly a hundred shells, while He Caitou’s Super Energy-Gathering Soul Cannon was shattered by the remaining fire.

• Meng Hongchen struck Ma Xiaotao with her Ice Fire Poison Dragon Drill as Ye Guyi unleashed a powerful golden slash.

Ma Xiaotao broke through the enemy’s attacks, but Ma Rulong’s cannon shot wounded her and left her near defeat. She awakened a violent Black Phoenix power, declared that she would command her own fate, and charged back into the fight as Huo Yuhao cheered her on.

• Ma Xiaotao fused three Soul Skills to shatter the Ice Fire Poison Dragon Drill and clash with the Holy Sword, while Huo Yuhao warned her of an attack from behind.
• Ma Rulong’s blood-red cannon beam pierced Ma Xiaotao’s right chest, and he fired a high-explosive missile as Dai Yaoheng called for the referee.

• Xuan Zi called Ma Xiaotao’s transformation a unique Phoenix Nirvana and rebuked Huo Yuhao for questioning it.
• Ma Xiaotao declared that her fate was hers to command and charged at Ma Rulong, while Huo Yuhao shouted encouragement from the stands.

Ma Xiaotao lost control and was disqualified after Ye Guyi nearly struck her down, but Huang Jinxu intervened. Huo Yuhao and Xuan Zi rushed to get her treated, and Emperor Xu Jiawei promised to send Star Luo’s finest healer.

• Lin Xi and Mi Jia unleashed a barrage to buy Ma Rulong time, but Ma Xiaotao charged through it until a Level Seven Soul-Paralysis Ray paralyzed her.
• Ye Guyi classified Ma Xiaotao as an Evil Soul Master and attacked her with four Soul Skills, suppressing her black flames and striking with her Holy Sword.

• Xuan Zi confronted the Star Luo officials and demanded their best healer, and Xu Jiawei promised that one would arrive shortly.

Xuan Zi brought Wang Xian'er to treat the injured Ma Xiaotao while Xiao Hongchen appeared in the Shrek Team’s formation. Xu Sanshi tried to trap Xiao Hongchen with his awakened Black Tortoise power, but Xiao Hongchen’s Three-Legged Golden Toad bloodline overwhelmed him and left Xu Sanshi dead.

• Jiang Nannan charged Xiao Hongchen, who sent a Metal Torrent to block her paths, and she activated Gravity Control.

Jiang Nannan tried to defeat Xiao Hongchen with gravity and close-combat techniques, but he countered her Soul Skills and resisted her attacks. The chapter ended with her clinging to him in a desperate maneuver as he teased her.

• Xiao Hongchen slowed his metal torrent, and Jiang Nannan slipped through it as she closed in on him.
• Xiao Hongchen told Jiang Nannan that Xu Sanshi had nearly used Black Tortoise Summoning to switch places with her, shaking her confidence until He Caitou urged her to stay focused.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen faced them in the deciding match, where Xiao provoked Huo Yuhao before the battle began.
