Chapter Summaries

Li Moxun met Zhuo Shi at Sea God Pavilion as he prepared to enter Shrek Academy’s Outer Court, where Cai Yue'er was threatening his life. After Xu Xiaoyan appealed to Zhuo Shi’s position as their master ancestor, he offered to shield Li Moxun and Gu Yue, but Li Moxun declined his help.

Li Moxun’s Level 6 Blacksmith badge and five-ring cultivation made him the apparent favorite for class monitor, but Cai Yue'er secretly rigged the trial to expose him to lethal danger. She forced every student to experience death at full intensity and arranged for Li Moxun to be surrounded, leaving Shen Yi helpless as the trial began.

• Li Moxun revealed his Level 6 Blacksmith badge, astonishing the students and making him the clear class monitor favorite.
• Shen Yi led the students to the training arena for an elimination trial to choose the class monitor and committee members.

• Cai Yue'er started the trial despite Shen Yi's protests and told him she would let Li Moxun die once as a rehearsal.

Li Moxun was ambushed by two groups of students who had joined forces for Cai Yue'er’s reward. He used his golden pupils to turn their attacks against them, killing two attackers and forcing Xu Yucheng to turn on his own allies.

• Li Moxun found himself separated from Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi, with two groups of students closing in on him.

Li Moxun and Xu Yucheng slaughtered Luo Guixing’s group inside the trial world, and Li Moxun destroyed Wu Siduo’s spiritual power as well. Outside the trial grounds, the survivors emerged from their hibernation pods, leaving Xu Yucheng gravely injured and Luo Guixing dead.

• Xu Yucheng let the three youths wound him, then used his Death God's Scythe to kill them before Luo Guixing split his head with a Spatial Blade.

• More than a dozen hibernation pods opened as alarms sounded, and the survivors awakened in terror.
• Xu Yucheng vomited blood as his Spirit Rings, Soul Spirits, and scythe shattered; he faced years of recovery, while Luo Guixing lay dead beside him.

• Cai Yue'er found Xu Yucheng and Luo Guixing severely injured, while Shen Yi rushed to support Xu Yucheng.

• Li Moxun accepted the force pulling him from the simulation and calmly emerged from his pod as the Shrek powerhouses watched.

Cai Yue'er was exposed for setting the students’ pain to the maximum and arranging for them to attack Li Moxun, while Ya Li and Zhuo Shi restrained her. Yun Ming arrived and heard Ya Li’s account, then abruptly used his spiritual power to examine Li Moxun.

Furious over the students’ attack on Li Moxun, Wu Zhangkong detained the perpetrators and left them waiting for the Sea God Pavilion Meeting, using a spiritual attack to silence Wu Siduo when she protested.

• Wu Siduo demanded medical treatment, but Wu Zhangkong struck her with a spiritual attack and ordered the detained students to wait until the Sea God Pavilion Meeting before receiving punishment.

After the illusion left many students with severe mental injuries, Wu Zhangkong kept them under guard while Li Moxun returned safely to the dormitory. At the Sea God Pavilion meeting, Yun Ming demanded that Cai Yue'er explain her actions, but she concealed her own defeat and Li Moxun's secret.

• Wu Zhangkong summoned three enforcers to keep the injured students in place, while Xu Yucheng and Luo Guixing suffered especially badly.
• Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi checked on Li Moxun, who had emerged uninjured after using the White King Martial Soul's control over spiritual power.

• Yun Ming confronted Cai Yue'er at the Sea God Pavilion meeting over the students' injuries and demanded an explanation.
• Cai Yue'er realized she could not reveal that Li Moxun had crippled her, fearing the elders would protect him once they learned his potential.

Yun Ming presided over Shrek Academy’s response to Cai Yue’er’s misconduct, assigning punishments while trying to limit the fallout. Ya Li challenged his inadequate compensation for Li Moxun and proposed that he be allowed to choose a soul bone in the Sea God Pavilion.

• Cai Yue'er stayed silent as Zhuo Shi recounted the incident, then knocked her forehead against the floor before Yun Ming.
• Yun Ming held the elders and Zhuo Shi responsible, and Zhuo Shi accepted blame and asked that Shen Yi be punished with him.
• Yun Ming stripped Cai Yue'er of her Outer Court honors and elder title, demoted her to an ordinary teacher, and gave her a major demerit; he also suspended Zhuo Shi's salary for three years and stripped Shen Yi of her honors while suspending her salary.
• Yun Ming ruled that Li Moxun's merits and faults canceled out and offered him fifty thousand academy contribution points to repay within five years, but Ya Li objected that the compensation was insufficient.
• Ya Li proposed that Li Moxun be allowed to enter the Sea God Pavilion and choose one soul bone as compensation.
