Chapter Summaries

After Xiao Wu became Yang Xing’s third disciple, he altered Tang San and Tang Hao’s memories to protect her and sent her back to Shrek. The system offered Yang Xing two rewards from seven choices, and he selected Quasi-God cultivation and three Talismans.

• Xiao Wu swallowed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, absorbed its effects, and signed Yang Xing’s Master-Disciple Contract.
• Yang Xing erased Tang San’s memories of the night and changed Tang Hao’s memories to conceal Xiao Wu’s identity and redirect him to Ah Yin.
• Yang Xing reassured Xiao Wu and returned her to Shrek shortly before dawn.
• The system offered Yang Xing two rewards from seven options, and he chose Quasi-God cultivation and the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit Talismans.
• Yang Xing hoped the Horse Talisman could restore the severed immortal herbs after the Rat Talisman had failed to replicate them.

Yang Xing chose the Quasi-God Body and three talismans, then left the city without telling his disciples in person. A month later, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu still had no word of his return, though his replies to their messages reassured them he was well.

• Yang Xing claimed the Quasi-God Body and fused the Tiger, Rabbit, and Horse Talismans into himself, gaining smoother control of his powers, extreme speed, and the ability to restore shattered objects.

• A messenger told Ning Rongrong that Yang Xing had left, and she angrily complained to Xiao Wu that her master had departed without saying goodbye.
• Xiao Wu felt overlooked for a moment, then recalled that she had asked Yang Xing to keep her discipleship secret; she comforted Ning Rongrong as they returned to the team battle.
• A month passed without Yang Xing returning, but his replies to Ning Rongrong's and Xiao Wu's messages reassured them, and Xiao Wu recalled how surprised she had been when he taught her the Red Hand of the Twin Complete Hands.

The Shrek Seven Monsters defeated the Huangdou Team after Ning Rongrong revealed her Radiant Bird Soul Spirit and used Wind Empress Qimen to direct the battle. The next morning, Yu Xiaogang challenged her explanation of the bird, then Barak Horn arrived with news that another disciple of Yang Xing had come looking for him.

While traveling toward Spirit City, Yang Xing repeatedly encountered Hu Liena after defeating Fallen Soul Masters and learned she was a four-ring Soul Ancestor from Spirit Hall. They introduced themselves, and Hu Liena grew curious about the eighteen-year-old Yang Xing, who showed no particular reaction to her reputation or seductive aura.

• Yang Xing toured the two great empires, helping people and dealing with Fallen Soul Masters along the way.

Hu Liena guided Yang Xing through Spirit City after they met on the road, but their time together ended when Yan confronted them. Hu Liena returned to Bibi Dong and reported that someone had eliminated several of her mission targets before she reached them.

• Hu Liena reported to Bibi Dong that she had dealt with three groups of fallen Spirit Masters, but someone else had eliminated several later targets first.

Hu Liena reported Yang Xing’s unusual strength and abilities to Bibi Dong, who explained why she had ordered her to stay in Spirit City. Bibi Dong revealed that she had sent four Title Douluos to investigate a possible Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and privately decided to test the mysterious master of her younger sister.

• Hu Liena told Bibi Dong that Yang Xing was an eighteen-year-old Soul Ancestor whose spiritual power resisted her Charm and whose conduct around Fallen Soul Masters was decisive.

• After Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong considered reports that her younger sister had gained a mysterious master and gone to Soto City, then decided to test him and kill him if he proved inadequate.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu learned that a woman claiming to be Yang Xing’s disciple had come to see him, revealing that Yang Xing had kept another disciple secret from Ning Rongrong. At the City Lord’s Manor, Ning Rongrong met Qian Renxue and asked whether she was sure they shared the same master.

• Barak Horn told Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu that a woman claiming to be Yang Xing’s disciple was looking for him, and Xiao Wu realized she was Disciple Number Three.

• After about a quarter of an hour, Qian Renxue’s fingers stopped as she turned a page.

Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo tried to take Qian Renxue back to Heaven Dou City by order of Bibi Dong, but Qian Renxue refused and Pufferfish Douluo stood by her. As the two Title Douluo overwhelmed Pufferfish Douluo, Yang Xing appeared and declared that he would not let them mistreat his disciple in his home.

• Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo appeared in Qian Renxue's study and ordered her to return to Heaven Dou City that night.

• Yang Xing appeared behind Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo, while Qian Renxue quickly told him about their combat abilities.
• Yang Xing told the two Title Douluo that he would not allow them to do as they pleased with his disciple in his home.

Yang Xing appeared in Qian Renxue’s study and calmly blocked attacks from Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo. As the two Super Douluos attacked him again, nine soul rings appeared beneath his feet, with his eighth and ninth rings blood-red.

• Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo discovered Yang Xing reclining in a chair and learned he was Qian Renxue’s mysterious master.
• Qian Renxue warned Yang Xing that the two visitors were Rank 95 Super Douluos, but he offered her grapes.
• Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo launched a pincer attack, and Yang Xing stopped both strikes with an invisible barrier.

• Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo attacked Yang Xing again, and nine soul rings appeared beneath him, including two blood-red rings.

Yang Xing killed Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo after freezing their attacks, then agreed with Qian Renxue that they had to die to keep Bibi Dong from learning about him. He stayed with Qian Renxue to guide her cultivation, while Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei waited outside Shrek Academy.

• Yang Xing froze Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo and killed them by smashing their heads together and driving them into the floor.
• Qian Renxue told Yang Xing that the two men had come to force him out and would report what they had seen to Bibi Dong, so she asked him to kill them.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei stood at the village entrance outside Shrek Academy.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo searched Shrek Academy and the nearby village for Tang Hao and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast but found no direct trace. Meng Yiran then described how her grandfather Dragon Duke suddenly attacked Shrek after staring at a girl, prompting Chrysanthemum Douluo to suspect the encounter held an important clue.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo searched Shrek Academy and found no sign of Tang Hao or a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• The two questioned the villagers, who recalled a disturbance in the sky and some commotion at the academy.
• Meng Yiran approached the Douluo and offered information about Shrek Academy, but Ghost Douluo accused her of seeking revenge for a grudge.
• Meng Yiran explained that Dragon Duke had been friendly with Shrek until he stared at a girl who had appeared later and then attacked.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped Meng Yiran and asked Ghost Douluo whether he had noticed anything about the girl.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo investigated Dragon Duke and Snake Woman’s deaths, concluded that an unknown young Title Douluo might be involved, and took Meng Yiran back to Spirit Hall to report their findings to Pope Bibi Dong. At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang devised a student strength assessment to impress Ning Rongrong and gain a chance to study her Radiant Bird, then went to Flender with the plan.

• Meng Yiran told Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo that a young Title Douluo had killed her grandparents after Xiao Wu changed Dragon Duke’s expression.
• Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo recognized Xiao Wu but doubted she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transforming Soul Beast, so they chose to report their clues to Pope Bibi Dong rather than act rashly.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo knocked Meng Yiran unconscious, and the two Spirit Hall elders threatened the village residents before leaving with her.
• Yu Xiaogang, unable to sleep after Ning Rongrong rejected him, decided to hold an internal strength assessment to showcase Tang San’s progress and his own teaching ability.
• Yu Xiaogang named Ning Rongrong’s Radiant Bird the Soul Ring Bird and went to tell Flender about his plan.

• Yu Xiaogang gathered the students and announced round-robin duels followed by one-against-many fights, with Oscar supplying Recovery Big Sausages.
• Yu Xiaogang drew the matchups: Xiao Wu against Ma Hongjun, Tang San against Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong against Dai Mubai.
• Flender predicted that Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Dai Mubai would win their matches.
• Ma Hongjun opened his duel with Phoenix Fire Wire, but Xiao Wu used Teleportation to evade it and struck him with Waist Bow.
• After Xiao Wu knocked Ma Hongjun down, he fired Phoenix Fire Wire at her face from the ground.

Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong competed in successive rounds of one-on-one matches, and Ning Rongrong dominated without using her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. After the rounds left Tang San and Ning Rongrong undefeated, the master announced their long-awaited match and promised to explain it.

• Xiao Wu extinguished Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix Fire Wire with her bare hand and told the master her fire resistance came from a Soul Ring; Tang San then defeated Zhu Zhuqing using Blue Silver Grass.
• Ning Rongrong taunted Dai Mubai into attacking her, exchanged positions with him, and used his own White Tiger Fierce Light Wave against him before defeating him with follow-up elemental attacks.
• Ning Rongrong won four consecutive matches, including an easy victory over Zhu Zhuqing, while Xiao Wu deliberately lost to Tang San and Ning Rongrong in later rounds.
• Xiao Wu lost to Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing defeated Ma Hongjun, leaving Tang San and Ning Rongrong as the only competitors with perfect records.
• The master announced Tang San and Ning Rongrong’s match as the final battle and said he would provide real-time analysis for the others.

Tang San and Ning Rongrong fought on the training ground, with Ning Rongrong’s spatial displacement and elemental attacks putting Tang San under pressure. Tang San answered with hidden weapons aimed at her predicted escape routes, leaving the match unresolved.

• Tang San and Ning Rongrong began cautiously, testing each other with Blue Silver Grass, spatial displacement, and a fireball while Grandmaster analyzed their tactics.
• Ning Rongrong launched repeated fire, ice, and wind attacks, and Grandmaster explained how Tang San controlled his movements to evade them.
• Ning Rongrong intensified her assault with broad waves of fire and stone projectiles, forcing Tang San to combine his martial arts techniques to defend and maneuver.
• The onlookers debated whether Tang San was being overwhelmed, while Grandmaster and Dai Mubai noted that he had not yet used his hidden weapons.
• Tang San fired two Silent Sleeve Arrows toward Ning Rongrong’s predicted next position and sent three Bone-Piercing Needles to block other possible directions.

Tang San revealed his Clear Sky Hammer and used it with hidden weapons to corner Ning Rongrong, but she answered with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and a Radiant Bird, amplifying herself and unleashing a powerful white flame. The fight remained unresolved as the flame surged toward Tang San.

• Tang San withdrew his Blue Silver Grass and revealed his Clear Sky Hammer, shocking the spectators.
• Tang San combined the hammer, hidden weapons, and footwork to restrict Ning Rongrong’s spatial displacement and drive her into a dead end.
• Ning Rongrong summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Radiant Bird, then amplified her strength, speed, and Soul Power.
• Ning Rongrong raised a thick earthen wall that withstood Tang San’s hammer strike.
• Ning Rongrong sent a dense white flame over the wall toward Tang San.

Ning Rongrong dominated the group challenges before losing to Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu together. Watching her fight made Zhu Zhuqing confront her own weakness, and she asked Yang Xing to accept her as a disciple.

• Ning Rongrong revealed that she had controlled her flames so Tang San was only knocked unconscious, then advanced to the group challenge stage alongside Tang San and Dai Mubai.
• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing teamed up and defeated Dai Mubai, while Tang San later won several matches before losing to Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu together.
• Ning Rongrong defeated every opposing team until Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu combined their attacks to defeat her after a fifteen-minute battle.
• Yang Xing watched Ning Rongrong's final battle and judged that her use of Wind Empress Qimen still needed improvement.
• Zhu Zhuqing left the field feeling inadequate, returned to watch Ning Rongrong fight, spotted Yang Xing nearby, and asked if she could become his disciple.

Yang Xing rejected Zhu Zhuqing’s plea to become his disciple, leaving her to question what she could offer him. After Ning Rongrong’s hard-won victory, Yang Xing appeared at the field and greeted her as his disciple, while the others reacted with surprise and fear.

• Zhu Zhuqing asked Yang Xing to accept her as his disciple, but he refused and asked what benefit she could offer him.
• Zhu Zhuqing could not answer before Yang Xing left the rooftop, leaving her alone in the shadows.
• Ning Rongrong lost her one-against-three match to Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu after fifteen minutes of fighting.
• Yang Xing appeared at the field and called Ning Rongrong his good disciple, asking whether she had missed her master.
• Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun recognized Yang Xing and reacted fearfully, while Master looked confused.

Yang Xing returned to Shrek Academy and reconciled with Ning Rongrong by giving her gifts, then greeted the students and the Master. Ning Rongrong offered to let Xiao Wu choose from the gifts, but froze when Yang Xing gave an OK sign.

• Yang Xing returned, and Ning Rongrong greeted him by throwing her shoe before accepting his apology and gifts.
