Chapter Summaries

Xu Yuan applied Yun Ming’s explanation of cultivation beyond Level 95 and spent his vacation improving his cultivation methods before preparing to forge his One-Word Dou Armor. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin returned from Eastsea City with extra training time and believed he could catch up to Xu Yuan.

• Yun Ming taught Xu Yuan that cultivation after Level 95 was the stage when the Soul Master reaped the benefits of the Martial Soul’s growth, and Xu Yuan understood why cultivation slowed after Level 50.
• Xu Yuan spent a month cultivating alone, remained at Level 51, and estimated that he could break through within two months.
• Xu Yuan decided to delay further combat training until he became a Soul Emperor, then began preparing to forge his One-Word Dou Armor using his Multi-Material Penetration Integration Array.
• Xu Yuan planned to complete his One-Word Dou Armor within the academic year while continuing his effort to forge Jade Silver at a ninety-eight percent fusion rate and eventually create God Alloy.
• Tang Wulin returned to the Work-Study Student Dormitory excited that Soul Arena time-flow acceleration would give him eleven extra hours of cultivation each week, and he believed he could catch up to Xu Yuan.

As the second academic year began, Wu Zhangkong assigned the class Sub-Profession goals, and Xu Yuan agreed to help Wu Siduo with her Battle Armor plans. Xie Xie then asked Xu Yuan whether his two daggers could be fused into one Martial Soul, leaving Xu Yuan to suggest that continued development and a powerful catalyst might make it possible.

• Xu Yuan returned to First Grade Class One and noticed that Tang Wulin seemed to have changed during their time apart.
• Shen Yi welcomed the class back, and Wu Zhangkong assigned them the goals of reaching at least third grade in their Sub-Professions and earning over one hundred thousand Merit Points through related tasks.
• Wu Siduo asked Xu Yuan to forge Spiritual Alloy for her Battle Armor, and he agreed while advising her on designing a Purple-Rank Mecha after she reached fifth grade.
• Xie Xie asked Xu Yuan whether two Martial Souls could be fused into one, explaining that his daggers' shared Soul Spirits and Soul Rings hindered his growth.
• Xu Yuan said Xie Xie's daggers already had some degree of fusion and that continued combination training or a powerful catalyst could eventually complete it.

Xie Xie told Tang Wulin he wanted to strengthen Little Gold rather than awaken the dragon bloodline in his daggers, and Tang Wulin supported his choice. Meanwhile, Xu Yuan studied the Plague Curse and grew eager to capture Evil Soul Masters for research.

• Xu Yuan explained that Xie Xie could pursue dragon bloodline awakening or strengthen his daggers through his Metal Soul Spirit.
• Xie Xie told Tang Wulin about the two paths and chose to help Little Gold grow rather than rely on dragon bloodline awakening.
• Tang Wulin understood Xie Xie's reasons and supported his decision.
• Xu Yuan studied the Plague Curse in the Dream Realm Space and considered how its effects connected Spiritual Power, blood and qi, and Soul Power.
• Xu Yuan speculated that Evil Soul Masters gained power by triggering special factors and decided he wanted to capture them for research.

Xu Yuan left Shrek City for Heaven Dou City to pursue perfect Jade Silver forging, but a Soul Train disaster led him to discover Evil Soul Masters attacking Mo Lan. He rushed to the battlefield and summoned a powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to protect her.

• Xu Yuan decided his Jade Silver forging was ready for a supervised attempt at ninety-nine percent fusion and requested leave from Wu Zhangkong, who approved it.
• Xu Yuan flew out of Shrek City, then caught a tumbling Soul Train car with layers of Five Elements Power and lowered it safely.
• Xu Yuan sensed that three Evil Soul Masters had attacked the train and identified Mo Lan among the people they were targeting.
• The Huang Family Three Ghosts dismissed Mo Lan's guards and prepared to attack her, while Xu Yuan flew toward the battlefield.
• Xu Yuan used his Heaven Origin Brush and Phantom Star to summon a fifty-meter Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in front of Mo Lan and her protectors.

Xu Yuan used the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and Soul Guidance shells to discover that the Huang Family Three Ghosts' Blood Demons were energy bodies vulnerable to area attacks. He then worked with a spatial Soul Emperor to separate the Blood Demons from the three Evil Soul Masters, leaving the brothers trapped under bombardment as Guo Yuan thanked Xu Yuan and the Soul Emperor recognized him.

• Xu Yuan’s Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear slashed the three Blood Demons, which healed rapidly, while three Soul Guidance shells damaged them and injured the Huang Family Three Ghosts.
• Xu Yuan concluded that the Blood Demons were energy bodies vulnerable to wide-area attacks and asked the spatial Soul Emperor to transfer them away from their masters.
• The spatial Soul Emperor moved the Blood Demons nearly a hundred meters away, and the Huang Family Three Ghosts failed to use Blood Demon Displacement to escape the ensuing bombardment.
• Guo Yuan thanked Xu Yuan for helping defeat the Evil Soul Masters, and the spatial Soul Emperor asked whether Xu Yuan had been the Mecha Pilot who fought Evil Soul Masters at the Heaven Dou City award ceremony.

After warning Mo Lan to quit her conductor job because Evil Soul Masters had targeted her twice, Xiao Yuan left to study the three Blood Demons he had captured. His research revealed that Blood Demons could strip away and blend Bloodline Power, and he recognized the value of that ability for his own cultivation.

• Xiao Yuan warned Mo Lan that her work as a conductor endangered train passengers, and she agreed to resign.
• Xiao Yuan told the Spatial Soul Emperor that he had dealt with the three Blood Demons, then left before Mo Lan could speak further.
• Xiao Yuan called Zhen Hua to explain that an accident would delay him for several days, then headed toward Moonlight City and Moonlight Sect.
• In Dream Realm Space, Xiao Yuan broke apart the unstable Blood Demons and reassembled them into a stable form.
• After researching for nearly half a month in Dream Realm Space, Xiao Yuan confirmed that Blood Demons could strip away and blend Bloodline Power, an ability relevant to his cultivation.

Xu Yuan visited the Moonlight Sect after Professor Zhang recommended him, hoping to learn about its Star and Moonlight cultivation methods. Yue Rushuang agreed to help him and brought him to Moon God Hall, where an elder challenged her decision to activate the Moonlight Array.

• Xu Yuan confirmed that the Blood Demons could draw out the Origin in blood and qi, then set aside time for future study.
• Xu Yuan presented Professor Zhang's letter at Moonlight Entertainment Co., Ltd. and asked to meet Yue Rushuang.
• After learning from Xu Shengqun that Yue Rushuang was a Level Ninety-Eight Super Douluo with a moonlight Martial Soul, Xu Yuan considered her path of pure Star Power cultivation.
• Yue Rushuang welcomed Xu Yuan's visit and led him to the Moonlight Sect's Moon God Hall.
• A middle-aged woman objected when Yue Rushuang suddenly activated the Moonlight Array, and Yue Rushuang insisted that she was the Sect Master.

Xu Yuan underwent the Moonlight Array’s baptism in the Moon God Hall, naturally absorbing moonlight and sensing a region of previously unknown moons. Yue Rushuang received powerful feedback from his perception and realized it could help her break through.

• Yue Rushuang activated the Moonlight Array for Xu Yuan alone, letting him absorb the converted moonlight without competition from the sect’s disciples.
• Xu Yuan’s Spiritual Power absorbed the moonlight, and he briefly sensed a hazy celestial region that seemed to contain a moon.
• Yue Rushuang sensed the same new region through feedback from Xu Yuan’s perception and realized he had sensed at least a dozen moons on his first attempt.
• Yue Rushuang considered using the newly perceived moons to temper her Soul Power and possibly break through naturally.

Xu Yuan absorbed Moonlight Power in the Moonlight Sect’s array, raising his Spiritual Power close to the ten-thousand-point bottleneck and storing the excess in Dream Realm Space. After Yue Rushuang explained how the array stabilized Moonlight Power, Xu Yuan asked whether he could learn the sect’s secret techniques.

• Yue Rushuang realized that Xu Yuan’s discovery of a new region of moons had greatly advanced her Star Power cultivation and left her owing him an even greater favor.
• Xu Yuan absorbed Moonlight Power and raised his Spiritual Power from 9,359 to about 9,800 points, but he did not break through the ten-thousand-point bottleneck.
• Xu Yuan stored the array’s surplus Moonlight Power in Dream Realm Space, leaving Yue Rushuang bewildered when she noticed the Moonlight Power had vanished.
• Yue Rushuang operated the Moonlight Array for three hours, consuming the Moonlight Sect’s accumulated Star Power for an entire month.
• Yue Rushuang invited Xu Yuan to call her Sister Yue and explained that Soul Masters operating the array gave Moonlight Power its stability.
• Xu Yuan asked Yue Rushuang whether he could cultivate the Moonlight Sect’s secret techniques.

After completing the Moonlight Baptism, Xu Yuan left Moonlight Sect for Heaven Dou City, where Zhen Hua prepared him to attempt forging a perfect alloy. Xu Yuan refined Sinking Silver and Demon Silver to Thousand Refined First Grade, then began the perfect-alloy attempt.

• Yue Rushuang warned Xu Yuan that cultivating Moonlight Sect's secret techniques would make a man more feminine, and Xu Yuan decided against it.
• Xu Yuan left Moonlight Sect and traveled to Heaven Dou City, arriving several hours later than planned.
• Zhen Hua noticed Xu Yuan's aura seemed more rounded and said he was ready to attempt a perfect alloy with ninety-nine percent fusion.
• Zhen Hua brought Xu Yuan to the Forging Room and provided ten tons each of purified Sinking Silver and Demon Silver.
• Xu Yuan used his flames and hammering to bring both metals to Thousand Refined First Grade, producing eight-foot beams of spiritual light.

Xu Yuan successfully forged ninety-eight percent fusion-rate Jade Silver in one attempt, and Zhen Hua explained how to create a true perfect alloy. The chapter left Xu Yuan considering how his Essence, Qi, and Spirit could help nurture a new Origin after the metals’ original Origins were destroyed.

• Xu Yuan forged Sinking Silver and Demon Silver into flawless ninety-eight percent Jade Silver without using the Heaven and Earth Furnace Method.
• Zhen Hua praised Xu Yuan’s forging and explained that a ninety-nine percent perfect alloy had to become a new metal with a newly formed Origin.
• Xu Yuan recalled that a previous piece of Jade Silver had possessed perfect spirituality but lacked a true new Origin.
• Zhen Hua taught Xu Yuan to erase the alloy’s original Origin, preserve a trace of spirituality, and let Heaven and Earth nurture its rebirth.
• Zhen Hua said Xu Yuan’s Heaven and Earth Furnace Method and coordination of Essence, Qi, and Spirit gave him a foundation to attempt perfect-alloy forging.

Xu Yuan followed Zhen Hua’s guidance to forge a perfect alloy by destroying Jade Silver’s Origin while preserving its spirituality, then using the Heaven and Earth Furnace Method and Jue’s Vital Energy to create a new Origin. The Jade Silver became a perfect alloy, and Xu Yuan’s experiment succeeded.

• Xu Yuan spent a month training with Zhen Hua and forged more than thirty pieces of Jade Silver with a ninety-eight percent fusion rate, reaching a ten percent success rate.
• During another attempt, Xu Yuan fused two metals into ninety-eight percent Jade Silver and then destroyed its spirituality while preserving a trace.
• Xu Yuan took control of the Dream Realm Space and used the dual Heaven and Earth Furnace Method to temper the alloy.
• Xu Yuan summoned Jue, whose Vital Energy combined with the preserved spirituality and the Power of Heaven and Earth.
• Xu Yuan forged the gathered energy into the metal until its Origin condensed, completing the perfect alloy.

Xu Yuan perfected Jade Silver through his own forging skill, broke through to Soul Power level fifty-two, and returned to Shrek Academy. As the second academic year’s first half ended, his class prepared for a final assessment that would not involve fighting stronger opponents.

• Xu Yuan explained that the Five Elements Spear Spirit had gained Spirit of Life Gold after absorbing the Golden Ancient Tree’s Vital Energy, and Zhen Hua urged him to keep practicing.
• Over the next month, Xu Yuan forged four more pieces of perfect Jade Silver, completing the final one entirely through his own ability.
• The finished Jade Silver stirred Xu Yuan’s Soul Power, and he broke through to level fifty-two.
• After three more months at Shrek, Xu Yuan’s second academic year’s first half ended, and his class heard that its final assessment would not involve challenging stronger opponents.

Shen Yi announced that Zero Class’s final assessment would take place in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during a Riot Period, where students had to survive for a day and hunt Soul Beasts with a combined age exceeding ten thousand years. Xu Yuan organized the class into teams according to their Spiritual Power needs, preparing them to pool their gains and help Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and himself raise their Soul Spirits.

• Shen Yi explained the assessment requirements and warned the students about the dangers and limited slots of the Riot Period.
• After Shen Yi and Wu Zhangkong left, Xu Yuan asked students to identify how much Spiritual Power they needed.
• Tang Wulin and Gu Yue stood up as students needing at least five thousand years of Spiritual Power, while Wu Siduo and nearly twenty others needed two thousand years.
• Xu Yuan directed students who could not absorb one thousand years to team up with Wu Siduo and the others, then share any surplus Spiritual Power with classmates who needed more.
• Xu Yuan revealed that raising all thirteen of his Soul Rings by one thousand years would require thirteen thousand years of Spiritual Power.

Xu Yuan led a team into Shrek City's Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform while wondering whether Leng Yaozhu could reveal the truth about his father's death. He and his teammates began their Spirit Energy trial, with Xu Yuan choosing three-thousand-year Soul Beasts as their initial targets.

• Xu Yuan asked his classmates to team up with him after they had completed their own Spirit Energy goals.
• Shen Yi and Wu Zhangkong brought First Grade Class One to the Spirit Pagoda, where Deputy Pagoda Master Leng Yaozhu welcomed them and studied Xu Yuan.

• Xu Yuan entered the platform with Fang Yuan, Wu Siduo, and Ye Xinglan, then set their first target at roughly three-thousand-year Soul Beasts.

Xu Yuan’s group hunted efficiently in the Riot Period Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, easily surpassing their assessment goals, while Leng Yaozhu questioned Qian Gu Dongfeng’s role in Xu Zhi’s death. After half a day, Xu Yuan led his companions to Yuanen Yehui, who revealed she had obtained her Spirit Ascension Platform slot independently.

• Xu Yuan sensed Yuanen Yehui nearby and led Wu Siduo and the others to find her resting alone in a clearing.
• Yuanen Yehui told Xu Yuan’s group she had secured her own slot to raise her Soul Spirit’s age.

Yuanen Yehui joined Xu Yuan’s group in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, where they hunted Soul Beasts together. After the team recovered from defeating a Flame Giant Lizard group, three Soul Emperors ambushed them, and Xu Yuan directed the others to counterattack.

• Yuanen Yehui recalled how she had saved Contribution Points, obtained a suitable Soul Spirit, and secured entry to the Spirit Ascension Platform’s Riot Period.
• Xu Yuan invited Yuanen Yehui to join the team, and she readily agreed.
• Xu Yuan asked about Yuanen Yehui’s restricted Second Martial Soul, but she only said that Elder Cai had advised her to stop cultivating it for now.
• After the group defeated a Flame Giant Lizard group and began recovering, three Soul Emperors surrounded them to seize their accumulated spiritual energy.
• Xu Yuan assigned the team targets, and Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, and Yuanen Yehui immediately attacked as the Soul Emperors responded.

Xu Yuan used his Forbidden Arts and spear techniques with Fang Yuan’s support to overwhelm the Flame Dominator Soul Emperor, while Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo pressured the wind-attribute Soul Emperor. The fire-attribute Soul Emperor was left burning and struck across the neck as the other Soul Emperors realized they had provoked a formidable opponent.

• Wu Siduo broke through the wind-attribute Soul Emperor’s tornado after Ye Xinglan’s Star Sword cut through his wind defenses.
• The earth-attribute Soul Emperor raised an earthen wall to block Fang Yuan’s Air Cannon, but the blast shattered it.
• Xu Yuan weakened the fire-attribute Soul Emperor with Essence, Qi, and Spirit Lockdown, then wounded him with a series of spear strikes as Fang Yuan used Gravity Space and Space Lockdown.
• Xu Yuan chased the retreating fire-attribute Soul Emperor and burned his bloodline and vitality with flames from his spear.
• Xu Yuan swept his spear across the fire-attribute Soul Emperor’s neck as the other Soul Emperors watched in alarm.

After leading his exhausted companions to rest, Xu Yuan's group met Luo Guixing's team, whose members still needed to hunt a Soul Beast to finish their assessment.
