Chapter Summaries

Ning Rongrong refused to help Flender free Dai Mubai, then lured Lin Ye to Suotuo City by promising an auction before taking him to her sect’s dessert shop. There, she secretly ordered the manager to handle a matter discreetly, apparently to make trouble for Dai Mubai.

• Ning Rongrong refused to help Flender get Dai Mubai released, citing the risks to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Rongrong persuaded Lin Ye to accompany her to Suotuo City by offering to buy him something at an auction.
• Ning Rongrong took Lin Ye to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s dessert shop instead of the auction house, where the manager recognized her as the Young Miss.
• Ning Rongrong considered using her sect’s money and connections to keep Dai Mubai from getting out easily.
• Ning Rongrong went to the manager’s office and told him to handle something discreetly and leave no loose ends.

Ning Rongrong paid to have Dai Mubai kept in jail while she and Lin Ye attended the Suotuo City auction. The auction bored Lin Ye, but his thoughts about Ning Fengzhi’s interest in slave girls and beast-eared girls left Ning Rongrong stunned.

• Ning Rongrong instructed the manager to spend whatever was necessary to keep Dai Mubai in jail for years.

• Lin Ye thought that Ning Fengzhi liked bidding on slave girls and beast-eared girls, shocking Ning Rongrong.

Lin Ye and Ning Rongrong bought promising ore for him to forge into Hidden Weapons, then returned to Shrek Academy and learned that Spirit Hall had sentenced Dai Mubai to three years in prison. The chapter left Dai Mubai facing a ruined cultivation period while Ning Rongrong quietly celebrated the outcome.

• Ning Rongrong secretly rejoiced at Dai Mubai's sentence, while Flender asked her about her trip to Suotuo City with Lin Ye.

Flender announced that formal training would begin the next day, despite Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun being unable to participate yet. After Lin Ye discussed making Hidden Weapons with Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu grew wary of their closeness and resolved to keep a closer eye on them.

• Flender told the students that formal training would begin the next day while Dai Mubai served his sentence and Tang San and Ma Hongjun recovered from their injuries.
• Oscar secretly pined for Ning Rongrong and worried that he could not match her status or win her over.
• Flender ended the meeting and planned to spend more Gold Soul Coins trying to get Dai Mubai released.
• Xiao Wu asked Lin Ye about his outing with Ning Rongrong, and Lin Ye complained about the auction while mentioning the ore he had bought to make Hidden Weapons.
• Ning Rongrong offered to have a Forging Room built at the academy for Lin Ye, and Xiao Wu decided to watch their relationship closely so no one else could get to him first.

Lin Ye stayed idle while Flender agreed to build him a Forging Room, and Zhu Zhuqing wondered how his Soul Power rose without cultivation. In Suotuo City, Star Luo spies learned Dai Mubai had been sentenced to three years and planned to bribe his release, unaware their funding request would balloon as it traveled up the chain.

• Zhu Zhuqing asked Xiao Wu why Lin Ye never cultivated, and Xiao Wu said his circumstances and Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Clan were extraordinary.
• Flender agreed to set aside space for Lin Ye's Forging Room.
• The captain of the Star Luo spies learned Dai Mubai had been arrested and sentenced to three years.
• The spies worried that revealing Dai Mubai's identity to Spirit Hall would bring disgrace and punishment upon them.
• The captain decided to seek two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to bribe Dai Mubai's release, but the request grew to five million by the time it reached Star Luo City's Intelligence Department.

Lin Ye’s thoughts revealed that he owned a divine weapon and wanted a hammer for forging, prompting Ning Rongrong to offer her family’s help. Worried that Ning Rongrong was winning Lin Ye over with gifts, Xiao Wu made a bold move that night, leaving Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stunned.

• Zhao Wuji asked Oscar to bring food to Tang San and Fatty, while Lin Ye wondered where he could find a forging hammer.
• Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing overheard Lin Ye’s thoughts and learned that he had a divine weapon.
• Oscar asked Ning Rongrong to visit a dessert shop, but she rejected him and left with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Ning Rongrong offered to have her family find Lin Ye a top-quality forging hammer, and Xiao Wu grew worried about losing his attention.
• That night, Xiao Wu entered Lin Ye’s room wearing a lace camisole, and Lin Ye woke to find her beside him.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing sensed what was happening in Lin Ye’s dorm and sat up in shock.

Lin Ye arrived at formal training expecting a challenge, but Zhao Wuji exempted him because his strength was already far beyond the students'. Oscar learned that Lin Ye was a Soul Emperor at only twelve years old.

• Lin Ye ran into Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were exhausted after hearing his thoughts torment them through the night.
• At the training field, Zhao Wuji found Xiao Wu absent and accepted that she was resting, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing reacted to Lin Ye's thoughts about the previous night.
• Zhao Wuji began formal training and said practical combat and meditation were essential for Soul Masters.
• Lin Ye eagerly summoned his Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Martial Soul, but Zhao Wuji exempted him from training because he was too powerful.
• Oscar asked why Lin Ye could skip training, and Zhao Wuji revealed that Lin Ye had reached Soul Emperor level, leaving Oscar stunned.

Oscar agreed to Zhao Wuji’s demanding training, while Lin Ye cared for Xiao Wu and decided they needed a house. Zhao Wuji and Flender concluded that Lin Ye was already too capable to train and agreed to let him follow his own path as long as he remained a Shrek student.

• Oscar agreed to join Zhao Wuji’s training after deciding it could give him more time with Ning Rongrong, who warned him to stop staring at her.
• Zhao Wuji began combat training with Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, while Lin Ye went to get food for Xiao Wu.
• Lin Ye brought food to Xiao Wu, who woke up embarrassed about the previous night and worried that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing might have heard his thoughts.
• Zhao Wuji told Flender that he did not know how to train Lin Ye because Lin Ye already had extensive combat experience and met the academy’s graduation requirements.
• Flender and Zhao Wuji agreed to treat Lin Ye as a special student and let him do as he pleased while ensuring he kept his Shrek status.

Lin Ye was allowed to cultivate independently after Zhao Wuji and Flender assumed he came from a powerful Soul Master force, so he went to Suotuo City and bought a house. Back at Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing teased Xiao Wu about the previous night and asked whether Lin Ye had helped her grow stronger.

• Zhao Wuji told Lin Ye that he could cultivate on his own and move freely around the academy, and Lin Ye decided to explore Suotuo City.
• Lin Ye bought a luxurious house near Suotuo City's commercial street, paying for it with his gold card.
• After afternoon training, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing went to Xiao Wu's dorm and teased her about spending the previous night with Lin Ye.
• Ning Rongrong asked Xiao Wu whether Lin Ye had helped her reach level forty-two and gain her powerful Soul Ring Configuration.

Xiao Wu advised Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to draw out Lin Ye’s help by expressing their desire to become stronger. Ning Rongrong tried the approach and learned from Lin Ye’s thoughts that he had cultivation-boosting elixirs, while Lin Ye secretly decided to help her reach level thirty in three days.

• Xiao Wu told Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing how she had coaxed treasures from Lin Ye and suggested they explain their desire to grow stronger.
• Ning Rongrong agreed to try Xiao Wu’s plan, while Zhu Zhuqing felt too awkward to go first.
• Lin Ye returned from Suotuo City and found Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing waiting for him.
• Ning Rongrong complained about her slow cultivation and asked Lin Ye whether he knew a way to improve quickly.
• Lin Ye’s thoughts revealed that he had elixirs that could raise Soul Power without side effects, and Ning Rongrong resolved to get his help.
• Lin Ye considered the threat Tang San posed and decided to find an excuse to use his treasures to raise Ning Rongrong to level thirty in three days.

Lin Ye gave Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing drugged candy that he expected would raise their Soul Power to level thirty within three days. As the chapter ended, both girls realized the candy contained a cultivation-boosting Elixir and decided to take it.

• Lin Ye gave Xiao Wu a golden Elixir, which she swallowed before he pulled her into his arms.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at training tired after hearing Lin Ye and Xiao Wu through his thoughts the previous night.
• Lin Ye left the training ground, checked in at Suotuo City, and gained one Soul Power level and ten thousand years for each of his first two Soul Rings.
• At the Heavenly Sword Chamber of Commerce, Lin Ye ordered President Qi to buy Suotuo City's ore businesses and stockpile the listed materials.
• Lin Ye returned to Shrek Academy and offered Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing Delice candy, thinking that he had put drugs in it to help them reach level thirty within three days.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing heard Lin Ye's thoughts, realized the candy contained an Elixir, and reconsidered refusing it.

Over three days, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing reached level thirty and delayed hunting for Soul Rings so they could strengthen their bodies and mental power. Oscar bought expensive candy believing it would boost his cultivation, while Lin Ye reflected that he could help the girls increase their Soul Rings’ age.

• Lin Ye spent his days wandering while President Qi bought up Suotuo City’s ore shops for him.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing reached level thirty, but refused Zhao Wuji’s offer to take them hunting for Soul Rings.
• Ning Rongrong told Oscar that Delice candy seemed to improve cultivation, prompting him to spend his Gold Soul Coins on two jars.
• Lin Ye returned and claimed he had found his candy on the road, then asked why the girls had not hunted for Soul Rings.
• Lin Ye thought that the girls’ physical and mental training mattered and that he could help increase the age of their Soul Rings.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing learned about Lin Ye’s powerful Soul Tools and balked at their prices. Flender then asked Lin Ye to lead the girls on a Soul Ring hunt, and Lin Ye agreed.

• Xiao Wu explained that Lin Ye’s Gravity Soul Tool and Heart of Wisdom could greatly enhance physical and mental training.
• Xiao Wu revealed that the Gravity Soul Tool cost over a million Gold Soul Coins and the Heart of Wisdom at least two million, leaving Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stunned.
• Flender asked Lin Ye to lead a team on a Soul Beast hunt while he supervised the academy’s renovations and Zhao watched the students.
• Lin Ye agreed to take his classmates to hunt for Soul Rings.

Lin Ye took Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing toward the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Rings, while the girls learned that his humble hometown, Heavenly Sword Village, had defeated Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. The journey began with a mysterious black bag in their path, and Lin Ye’s thoughts revealed that it contained a Gravity Soul Tool and Heart of Wisdom.

• Lin Ye told Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing they were leaving for the Star Dou Great Forest, estimating that their boosted strength could let them obtain Soul Rings of up to ten thousand years.
• Oscar watched the four depart, while Lin Ye drove their carriage and worried about spending nights outdoors with Xiao Wu and the others.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing asked Xiao Wu about Lin Ye’s origins, and Xiao Wu explained that he came from Heavenly Sword Village, where Village Director Uncle Jie had beaten Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.
• Lin Ye stopped the carriage when the group spotted a black plastic bag on the road and refused to pick it up, though his thoughts revealed it contained a Gravity Soul Tool and Heart of Wisdom.

Lin Ye accepted Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as his god-sisters after they recovered valuable Soul Tools, then agreed to help the girls find suitable Soul Beasts. As the carriage continued toward the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Ye mistakenly decided Ning Rongrong was trying to recruit him for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing opened the black bag and found two bracelets and two Heart of Wisdom necklaces, which Lin Ye had given them.
• Ning Rongrong asked Lin Ye to become her and Zhu Zhuqing's godbrother, and he agreed.
• Ning Rongrong called Lin Ye Brother Ye and linked arms with him as the group returned to the carriage.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked Lin Ye to help them hunt suitable Soul Beasts, and he promised to find them the best Soul Rings.
• Xiao Wu questioned Ning Rongrong's motives, and Ning Rongrong said their new relationship would let Lin Ye help them openly before Xiao Wu explained how to use the Soul Tools.
• Lin Ye suspected Ning Rongrong was trying to recruit him for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect because of his Soul Power Level.

Lin Ye and the three girls reached the Star Dou Great Forest, where he planned to find high-level Soul Rings for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. After checking in, he gained a major increase in power and learned that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had fifty-percent favorability toward him.

• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing teased Xiao Wu about spending nights with Lin Ye, and Xiao Wu admitted she was struggling to keep up.
• Lin Ye stopped at an inn so Xiao Wu could rest, then led the group into the Star Dou Great Forest the next morning.
• Lin Ye explained the forest's regions and decided to search the mixed region for suitable Soul Beasts.
• Lin Ye checked in at the forest and received two Soul Power levels, upgraded Soul Rings and a head Soul Bone, improved Lingbo Microsteps, and fifty-percent favorability from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu noticed Lin Ye's aura had grown stronger, and Xiao Wu said she had rarely seen him cultivate.

Lin Ye found a twelve-thousand-year Glazed Divine Deer that could greatly enhance Ning Rongrong’s Soul Skill and captured it. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu hesitated to kill the beautiful, harmless Soul Beast, so Lin Ye suggested another method.

• Lin Ye searched the Star Dou Great Forest’s mixed zone for a Soul Beast whose Soul Ring would suit Ning Rongrong.
• At night, Lin Ye spotted a twelve-thousand-year Glazed Divine Deer and explained that its exceptional Soul Power could make Ning Rongrong’s amplification skill far stronger.
• Lin Ye ambushed the deer at a lakeside and knocked it unconscious.
• Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu felt reluctant to kill the deer, and Lin Ye offered to use another method.

Lin Ye used a Sacrificial Contract to let the Glazed Deer sacrifice itself to Ning Rongrong while preserving its soul, and she absorbed its Soul Ring to reach level thirty-four. The group then searched for Zhu Zhuqing’s Soul Beast and encountered signs that the Red Shadow Saber-Toothed Tiger was approaching.

• Lin Ye explained the Sacrificial Contract, and the Glazed Deer agreed to sacrifice itself while keeping its soul intact.
• Ning Rongrong absorbed the Glazed Deer’s twelve-thousand-year Soul Ring and rose from level thirty to level thirty-four.
• Ning Rongrong kissed Lin Ye in excitement, and the group set out to find a Soul Beast for Zhu Zhuqing.
• Lin Ye led the girls toward the Red Shadow Saber-Toothed Tiger, but a stampede of fleeing Soul Beasts forced them to take shelter in a tree.
• Lin Ye recognized the reddish mist as evidence of the tiger’s Fire Poison Domain and estimated that the beast was at least ten thousand years old.

Lin Ye helped Zhu Zhuqing hunt a thirteen-thousand-year-old Red Shadow Saber-Toothed Tiger, whose Soul Ring gave her a fire-poison-infused third Soul Skill. After Zhu Zhuqing stabilized her new power, a tremendous beast roar sounded nearby, and Lin Ye returned to the group with a grave expression.

• Lin Ye and the three girls watched the Red Shadow Saber-Toothed Tiger’s Fire Poison Domain kill Soul Beasts before Lin Ye struck the tiger unconscious with a sword hammer.
• Zhu Zhuqing killed the tiger and spent about two hours absorbing its Soul Ring while Lin Ye kept watch.
• Zhu Zhuqing tested her third Soul Skill, Nether Slash, and revealed that it carried fire poison, increased her speed by one hundred percent, and raised her Soul Power to level thirty-four.
• Lin Ye told Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to rest and adjust before leaving the forest, then went to patrol while Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong teased Zhu Zhuqing about him.
• A powerful beast roar sounded in the distance, and Lin Ye appeared beside the girls with a grave expression.

Er Ming arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest after sensing Xiao Wu, startling Lin Ye, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. Xiao Wu revealed that the girls knew her identity, and Er Ming accepted Lin Ye as her brother-in-law before agreeing to return on the condition that Lin Ye protect Xiao Wu.

• Er Ming's approach sent Soul Beasts fleeing, and the Titan Giant Ape appeared before Lin Ye, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Ning Rongrong recognized the Titan Giant Ape as the Star Dou Great Forest's king, while Lin Ye told Er Ming to stop roaring and called himself his brother-in-law.
• Er Ming recognized Lin Ye as the person Xiao Wu had mentioned, and Xiao Wu assured him that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing knew her identity and could be trusted.
• Er Ming calmed down and accepted Lin Ye as his brother-in-law, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing learned that Xiao Wu was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• Lin Ye warned Er Ming about human Titled Douluo and told him to return to the forest, and Er Ming agreed only after demanding that Lin Ye protect Xiao Wu.
