• Chen Xinjie: Acts as a mediator and trusted elder. He presents Yun Feng with opportunities suited to her abilities and speaks proudly of her growth from a former student into a respected examiner and delegation leader.

• Yun Feng explains the rules: students may fight alone or in teams, but they must survive more than ten moves against her without being forced out of the arena.
• She will not use her Three-Word Battle Armor. However, anyone who can force her to activate it will be admitted directly to the War God Hall for training.
• The students form teams, mostly using standard seven-person battle formations, but Yun Feng overwhelms nearly all of them. Most teams fail before reaching ten moves; only one survives eight.

Chapter Summary: “Seven Stars Battle Dragon Maiden”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Tang Wulin’s team is the final group to undergo the outer-court graduation assessment at Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy.
• The team consists of Tang Wulin, Xun Hongchen, the three Xu siblings, and two older students, Long Chen and Xue Liushuang.
• Yun Feng questions why Long Chen and Xue Liushuang are graduating late. It is revealed that they were seriously injured three years earlier after accidentally entering the aftermath of a battle between Super Douluo-level fighters. They missed a year of school while recovering.
• The battlefield was confirmed to involve an Evil Soul Master. Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie speculate that the Holy Spirit Cult’s Dark Blood Demon and Dark Bell may have died in that conflict, suggesting an unknown hero defeated them.
• Yun Feng begins the assessment, while Divine Light Douluo privately hopes she will show the team some favoritism. No previous team has survived ten moves against her, and Tang Wulin’s group is the academy’s last hope for producing a graduate.
• All seven students reveal Soul King-level cultivation. Tang Wulin is the only one with a complete set of Battle Armor, while the others possess partial armor.
• Tang Wulin distributes Starlight Dewdrops to strengthen the team. Xu Feiyu initiates their coordinated attack with powerful mental-control abilities, while the other assault Soul Masters charge under Xu Jiuyue’s moonlight enhancements.
• Their teamwork and abilities would overwhelm an ordinary Soul Sage, but Yun Feng easily destroys Xu Feiyu’s mental attack with her superior spiritual power. Xu Feiyu suffers backlash and is forced to retreat, though Tang Wulin quickly heals and supports him.

Character Developments

• Tang Wulin demonstrates leadership, composure, and support abilities by distributing resources, coordinating the team, and immediately healing Xu Feiyu after the failed mental attack.
• Xu Feiyu acts as the team’s control specialist rather than Tang Wulin, using mental suppression to open the battle. His defeat by Yun Feng reveals the enormous gap between their spiritual powers.
• Xu Jiuyue serves as a major support Soul Master, strengthening the team’s assault fighters with moonlight-based abilities and enabling highly coordinated attacks.
• Long Chen and Xue Liushuang are introduced as capable but mysterious older students whose delayed graduation stems from serious battlefield injuries rather than academic failure.
• Yun Feng remains confident and impartial, though her overwhelming strength makes her opponents’ efforts appear nearly futile.
• Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie become increasingly interested in the possible destruction of major Holy Spirit Cult members three years earlier.

Significant Themes

• The gap between talent and true power: Tang Wulin’s team is exceptionally gifted, yet Yun Feng’s strength places her far beyond even their carefully coordinated assault.
• Teamwork and specialization: Each student fulfills a distinct role—control, support, assault, healing, and leadership—creating a formation capable of challenging much stronger opponents.
• Hidden heroism and sacrifice: The unexplained battle that injured Long Chen and Xue Liushuang may have eliminated powerful Evil Soul Masters, hinting at a major but unknown contribution to humanity’s defense.
• Pressure of expectations: The academy, its officials, and even Shrek Academy observers view this final team as the institution’s last chance to avoid complete failure in graduation assessments.

Chapter Summary

• Yun Feng begins the next stage of the battle after absorbing Destructive Power, revealing that her spiritual power has recovered to the Spirit Domain Realm. She defeats Xu Feiyu with a restrained spiritual counterattack. Though she uses only a trace of power to avoid seriously injuring him, the attack briefly reaches the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, destroying his ability to focus and continue fighting.
• The spectators, including Chen Xinjie, Yun Ming, and Guan Yue, are shocked by Yun Feng’s spiritual strength. They had believed her spiritual power was at most at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, especially since her hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings could not be used to absorb Soul Spirits. Chen Xinjie praises her, recognizing that her spiritual power surpasses that of many Federation Titled Douluo.
• Yun Feng then displays a spear technique she created herself. Yun Ming and Guan Yue identify faint traces of Guan Yue’s Heaven-Crossing Spear Art but recognize that Yun Feng’s version is fundamentally different and has already been perfected. Yun Ming is amazed that a sixteen-year-old has forged her own complete path of spear cultivation and regrets that she is not a student of Shrek Academy.
• Xue Liushuang attacks Yun Feng with her Light-Dividing Sword Art, Snow Trace, and Icy Cold Sword, strengthened by Xu Jiuyue’s moonlight. Her sword qi freezes the arena, but Yun Feng’s golden bloodline flames protect her from the cold and allow her to pass through the attack unharmed.
• Yun Feng reaches Xue Liushuang almost instantly. When she thrusts her Golden Dragon Spear, Xue Liushuang is overwhelmed by the vision of a magnificent golden dragon and momentarily loses consciousness. Yun Feng pins her to the ground and counts the exchange as three moves, including the activation of her golden flames.
• Xue Liushuang attempts to resist but is effortlessly overpowered. Yun Feng throws her from the arena using only physical strength, without Soul Power. Even after losing, Xue Liushuang remains captivated by Yun Feng, prompting the Divine Light Douluo to sigh helplessly as he catches her.
• With Xu Feiyu and Xue Liushuang defeated in only a few moves, the opposing team becomes increasingly anxious. Long Chen, Xu Guangyu, and Xun Hongchen form a coordinated battle formation, preparing to face Yun Feng together.

Character Development and Interactions

• Yun Feng demonstrates overwhelming spiritual, physical, and technical superiority while deliberately restraining herself to avoid seriously injuring her opponents.
• Xu Feiyu is defeated through spiritual pressure rather than direct physical harm and is forced to withdraw.
• Xue Liushuang is quickly overwhelmed and becomes fascinated by Yun Feng even after being defeated.
• Yun Ming and Guan Yue acknowledge Yun Feng’s extraordinary talent and recognize her independently developed spear art.
• Chen Xinjie openly praises Yun Feng’s spiritual accomplishments.
• The opposing team shifts from individual combat to teamwork, with Long Chen, Xu Guangyu, and Xun Hongchen preparing a united attack.

Major Themes

• Extraordinary talent and self-created power: Yun Feng has developed abilities and a combat style far beyond what is expected of someone her age.
• Restraint amid overwhelming strength: Despite her superiority, Yun Feng carefully limits her spiritual and physical force to prevent needless injury.
• Recognition and envy of genius: The spectators admire her abilities, while Yun Ming regrets that she is not affiliated with Shrek Academy.
• The widening gap between Yun Feng and her opponents: Each victory emphasizes that ordinary attacks and team enhancements are insufficient against her.
• Individual power versus coordinated teamwork: The opposing side responds to Yun Feng’s dominance by abandoning isolated attacks and forming a battle formation.

Chapter Summary: “Watch My Glazed Light!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yun Feng’s overwhelming aura naturally suppresses the beast-type Martial Souls of Long Chen, Xu Guangyu, and the others. The suppression is especially severe against Long Chen and Xu Guangyu because they possess dragon-type Martial Souls.
• As Yun Feng burns her blood and vitality, her power and intimidating aura intensify, leaving the opposing team barely able to withstand her even with Tang Wulin and Xu Jiuyue’s support.
• Tang Wulin changes the battle by releasing his Blue Silver Grass, creating a vast “Azure Grassland” that covers the entire Soul Fighting Arena. The grass carries an immense life force and functions like a domain or control-type ability.
• Yun Feng burns through the grass with her golden flames, but the Blue Silver Grass continually regenerates. She uses her Golden Dragon Spear to tear open a path and declares her “fourth move,” yet the grass immediately closes behind her and continues pursuing her.
• Xun Hongchen then launches a coordinated attack. She uses her Glazed Jade Toad to combine extreme ice, blazing fire, cold poison, and Soul Power flames, temporarily raising her strength close to the Soul Emperor level.
• Xun Hongchen activates “Glazed Mirror Image,” creating two clones with eighty percent of her strength. The three identical figures switch positions while charging Yun Feng, attempting to confuse her.
• Yun Feng instantly identifies the real Xun Hongchen and dispels the two clones. She announces her “fifth move.”
• Xun Hongchen reveals that Yun Feng’s focus on her was part of the team’s plan. While Yun Feng dealt with the mirror images, Long Chen, Xu Guangyu, and Tang Wulin launched simultaneous attacks.
• The opposing team hopes to overwhelm Yun Feng through numbers and survive five more of her moves to pass the assessment. Yun Feng recognizes their strategy and questions whether they are trying to win through sheer numbers.

Character Developments

• Yun Feng: Continues to demonstrate overwhelming combat ability, composure, and perceptiveness. She easily resists the combined attacks, identifies Xun Hongchen’s true body, and remains confident despite being surrounded.
• Tang Wulin: Shows major growth in his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. His ability has developed into a powerful, nearly inexhaustible life-based control technique, reflecting his exceptional talent and dedication.
• Xun Hongchen: Displays improved combat capability and tactical intelligence. Her enhanced Glazed Jade Toad ability and mirror-image technique allow her to approach Yun Feng directly and serve as a diversion for the team’s coordinated assault.
• Long Chen and Xu Guangyu: Their dragon-type Martial Souls are powerful but heavily suppressed by Yun Feng’s aura. They depend on teamwork and the support of Tang Wulin and Xu Jiuyue to remain in the battle.
• Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie: Their conversation emphasizes the extraordinary talents of Yun Feng and Tang Wulin. Yun Ming particularly praises Tang Wulin for cultivating the supposedly weak Blue Silver Grass through persistence and effort.

Significant Themes

• Suppression and power hierarchy: Yun Feng’s aura reveals the importance of Martial Soul compatibility and innate bloodline strength, especially against beast- and dragon-type Martial Souls.
• Teamwork and strategy: Although no individual member can match Yun Feng, the group attempts to compensate through combined attacks, distractions, amplification, and numerical advantage.
• Growth through unconventional paths: Tang Wulin transforms the seemingly useless Blue Silver Grass into a formidable life-based control ability, challenging conventional judgments about Martial Souls.
• Confidence and adaptability: Yun Feng repeatedly reads and counters the team’s strategies, while the others adapt their tactics in an effort to survive the assessment.

Character Interactions

• Yun Ming praises Tang Wulin’s immense life force and talent, stating that he deserves to be considered Yun Feng’s equal in potential.
• Chen Xinjie explains that Tang Wulin was initially overlooked and only gained recognition after developing his abilities, largely because Yun Feng drew attention to him.
• Xun Hongchen directly confronts Yun Feng with her enhanced strength and mirror images, but Yun Feng effortlessly sees through the deception.
• After Yun Feng neutralizes the clones, Xun Hongchen reveals the team’s coordinated plan, with Long Chen, Xu Guangyu, and Tang Wulin attacking from behind while the Blue Silver Grass fills the arena.

Chapter Summary: “Flanked by Beauties”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yun Feng’s assessment of the student teams concludes with Tang Wulin’s team facing her directly.
