Feng Xiaoyuan lounged on Sea God Island and delayed starting his Top-Level Eight Trials until he learned the Sea God Mark would disappear after he completed them. He passed the first trial, climbing all 234 steps of Sea God's Light, and received a major boost to his Soul Power and Spirit Rings.

• Feng Xiaoyuan spent his days relaxing and eating while the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos repeatedly urged him to begin his trials.
• Feng Xiaoyuan asked Sea Horse Douluo whether his Sea God Mark would disappear after he completed the trials, then decided to start when he learned it would.

After passing the fifth trial and reaching Soul Power level seventy, Feng Xiaoyuan faced Bo Saixi in the sixth trial, which forbade his armor and required him to endure for an incense stick’s burn. He survived by combining Grey Wolf’s evasive endurance with his Frying Pan’s soul skills, and the trial declared him successful.

• Feng Xiaoyuan received the fifth-trial rewards, raising his Soul Power to level seventy and increasing his soul ring age by twenty thousand years.

After the Sea God's divine thought departed, Feng Xiaoyuan left Sea God Island aboard Wolf Castle II and resumed his journey west toward the Sun Moon Continent. A month later, Grey Wolf revealed that he had analyzed how pure-Soul-Power Spirit Rings worked and believed artificial Spirit Rings could eventually be made.

• The Sea God's divine thought told Feng Xiaoyuan he no longer needed to remain on Sea God Island to complete his eighth trial, then vanished after promising to meet him again in the God Realm.

• Grey Wolf said he still needed a large Soul Tool energy core and a stabilizing device to create artificial Spirit Rings, and expected to build them on the Sun Moon Continent.

Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf reached Sun Moon Continent, but the coastal region and its basic Soul Tools fell short of their expectations. In Seaside City, they learned about the Great Moon Empire’s young Empress Qi Xingyao and heard signs of internal opposition to her rule.

• Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf landed on Sun Moon Continent and stored Wolf Castle II after finding a deserted coast.
• Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf walked to Seaside City, where they found only basic Soul Tools and questioned whether the continent was as advanced as expected.
• Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf disguised themselves in black robes and asked a tavern waiter about the region.
• The waiter told Feng Xiaoyuan that Seaside City stood at the eastern edge of the Great Moon Empire and that the continent had two empires, the Great Moon Empire and the Great Sun Empire.
• The waiter praised Empress Qi Xingyao’s talent, while a middle-aged soul master criticized her authority and claimed the three Great Moon Ancestors truly supported the empire.

Feng Xiaoyuan learned about the continent’s cultivation realms and the differences between the Great Sun Empire and Great Moon Empire in their use of Soul Tools. After an old man exposed that Feng Xiaoyuan was not local and led him to a hidden courtyard, Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf discovered a small Soul Tool research base.

• The waiter explained the nine cultivation realms, the Grandmaster Realm, and how the two empires viewed Soul Tools.
• Feng Xiaoyuan tried to pay with a Gold Soul Coin, but the waiter did not recognize it as currency.
• An old man paid the bill with a stored-value card and told Feng Xiaoyuan he had realized Feng Xiaoyuan was not from the continent.
• The old man invited Feng Xiaoyuan to see an interesting place, and Grey Wolf warned that the old man and the card’s Soul Tool technology were unusual.
• The old man led Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf to a run-down courtyard filled with Soul Tool components and young Soul Engineers at work.

Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf joined Mo Chen’s Soul Tool research site and spent a month studying the Sun Moon Continent’s established technology. They realized that mastering its complete system could help them combine it with their own inventions and develop something greater.

• Mo Chen introduced himself as a Soul Engineer and invited Feng Xiaoyuan to study at the research site, where Feng accepted and became his student.
• Feng Xiaoyuan revealed Grey Wolf, who introduced himself as an independently thinking martial soul and a scientist, shocking Mo Chen and the other Soul Engineers.
• Mo Chen gave Feng Xiaoyuan a manual covering Level One to Eight Soul Tool manufacturing and told him to study the fundamentals before attending lessons.
• Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf spent a month learning Soul Tool theory and observing the researchers without making any Soul Tools.
• Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf recognized that the Sun Moon Continent had a complete Soul Tool industrial system and planned to combine its technology with their own.

Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf began crafting Soul Tools after a month of study, completing weapons from Level One through Level Four. Their advanced designs astonished the junior Soul Engineers watching, and Mo Chen explained the unfamiliar arrays and weapons.

• Grey Wolf and Feng Xiaoyuan crafted a Level-One Soul Guidance Ray Gun and a Level-Two Soul Light Ray.
• They began making a special Level-Three Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray using a simplified Level-Five magic array, and Mo Chen explained why its design was unfamiliar.
• Grey Wolf and Feng Xiaoyuan completed a Level-Four Spike Bullet Cannon with explosive force and a second piercing effect.
• Mo Chen identified the Spike Bullet Cannon and explained that Level-Four Soul Tools were usually studied by intermediate Soul Engineers.

Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf completed Soul Tools from Level One through Level Five, including a guided high-explosive cannon. Mo Chen led the Soul Engineers to the seaside to demonstrate the higher-level weapons, revealing the Spike Bullet Cannon’s devastating penetrating power.

• Feng Xiaoyuan forged the cannon body from high-grade materials while Grey Wolf engraved its core arrays, completing the Level-Five Directional High-Explosive Soul Guidance Cannon.
• Mo Chen explained that the Level-Five cannon tracked targets by their Soul Power fluctuations and could blast across a radius of up to two hundred meters.
• Soul Engineers tested the Level-One Soul Guidance Ray Gun, the Level-Two Soul Light Ray, and the Level-Three Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray, observing their firepower and paralysis effect.
• Mo Chen took the group to the seaside and fired the Level-Four Spike Bullet Cannon at a reef.
• The cannon’s secondary trigger caused an explosion inside the reef, destroying it from within; Mo Chen explained that the weapon concentrated its power on penetration rather than blast radius.

Mo Chen demonstrated the terrifying power of the Level-Five Single-Target Guided High-Explosive Soul Guidance Cannon, though its test destroyed every moving target and left its tracking ability uncertain. That night, he invited Feng Xiaoyuan to visit Divine Craftsman City, and Feng Xiaoyuan agreed to leave with him the next morning.

• Mo Chen fired the Level-Five Soul Guidance Cannon at the speeding puppet dolls, and its blast destroyed them all across a two-hundred-meter area.
• The young Soul Engineers marveled that Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf had made Level-Four and Level-Five Soul Tools despite less than two months of study.
• Mo Chen visited Feng Xiaoyuan that night and asked whether he wanted to go to Divine Craftsman City, home of the Soul Engineer Association headquarters and the continent’s most advanced Soul Guidance technology.
• Mo Chen hinted that he held status at the Association headquarters but said he would explain more after they arrived.
• Feng Xiaoyuan agreed to go, and Mo Chen told him to prepare to leave early the next morning.

Feng Xiaoyuan revealed his age and cultivation to Mo Chen, who agreed to keep the information secret and take him to Divine Craftsman City. Before they departed, Feng Xiaoyuan showed Mo Chen Wolf Castle II and claimed it could travel at ten thousand kilometers per hour, leaving Mo Chen incredulous.

• Mo Chen asked Feng Xiaoyuan to reveal his true strength and whether he had studied Soul Tools before.
• Feng Xiaoyuan told Mo Chen that he was eighteen and at the Seventh-Stage Heart-Aligning Realm, and that he had only encountered ordinary Soul Tools before arriving.
• Mo Chen promised to keep Feng Xiaoyuan's secret and eagerly agreed to take him to Divine Craftsman City.
• The next morning, Mo Chen told his Soul Engineer students to continue studying while he was away, then left Seaside City with Feng Xiaoyuan.
• Mo Chen showed Feng Xiaoyuan his Level Eight Soul Guidance airship, which could reach one thousand kilometers per hour.
• Feng Xiaoyuan brought out Wolf Castle II and claimed its top speed was ten thousand kilometers per hour, leaving Mo Chen unsure he had heard correctly.

Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf showed Mo Chen that Wolf Castle II could fly at ten thousand kilometers per hour, despite being built without conventional Soul Tool methods. As they headed toward Divine Craftsman City, Mo Chen began explaining the Soul Engineer Association and its powerful leadership.

• Feng Xiaoyuan invited Mo Chen aboard Wolf Castle II and demonstrated its speed of ten thousand kilometers per hour.
• Mo Chen asked how Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf had built the airship, and Grey Wolf explained that it was mechanically constructed and powered by Soul Power without Soul Guidance Magic Arrays or Soul Power circuits.
• Mo Chen struggled to accept that blind tinkering had produced such a powerful airship, then conceded that Feng Xiaoyuan and Grey Wolf could not be judged by ordinary Soul Engineer standards.
• Feng Xiaoyuan asked Mo Chen to introduce the Soul Engineer Association while they traveled toward Divine Craftsman City.
• Mo Chen explained that the association's headquarters were in Divine Craftsman City and that it had three level-ten Soul Engineers, including its president, Gongye Changkong.

Mo Chen told Feng Xiaoyuan about the rival empires, the powerful young empress Qi Xingyao, and the political pressures surrounding her. When a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast attacked Wolf Castle II, its defenses held, and Feng Xiaoyuan ordered Grey Wolf to fly straight through.

• Mo Chen explained that Xu Tianmo was the Great Sun Empire's royal and the Soul Engineer Association's vice president, while hinting that he himself was a tenth-level Soul Engineer.
• Mo Chen described Qi Xingyao's twin martial souls, extraordinary talent, and insecure position amid pressure from the Great Sun Empire and rivals within her court.
• Wolf Castle II's radar detected a high-energy life-form, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast burst from the ground and attacked.
• At Feng Xiaoyuan's order, Grey Wolf activated Wolf Castle II's defenses, and the barrier withstood the beast's attack without cracking.
• Feng Xiaoyuan ordered Grey Wolf to ignore the Soul Beast and accelerate straight through.
