Chapter Summaries

Flender and the Shrek Seven Devils were shocked by Royal Fight Team’s high levels, while the team discussed Tianlin’s absence and Gu Ran’s devotion to him. At the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Tianlin completed the Snow Soul Divine Pill after seven days of refining.

• Flender and the Shrek Seven Devils heard Royal Fight Team members introduce themselves and were stunned by their levels.
• Tang San told Qin Ming that Tianlin had left early and would meet them at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Yu Tianheng grumbled about Tianlin leaving, Dugu Yan warned him, and Gu Ran angrily challenged Ma Hongjun over being Tianlin’s number one lackey.
• Tianlin stayed beside the Alchemy Furnace through the final stage of refining, despite the Golden Pattern Ice Silkworm urging him to rest.
• On the seventh day, the furnace released intense cold that froze the edges of the fire spring, and Tianlin declared the Snow Soul Divine Pill complete.

Tianlin fed the Golden Pattern Ice Silkworm his Snow Soul Divine Pill, pushing it past a million years and triggering a divine tribulation. With no time to prepare, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chose to sacrifice its million-year soul ring and soul bone to Tianlin and entered his Sea of Spirit.

• Tianlin gave the Golden Pattern Ice Silkworm the Snow Soul Divine Pill, and it absorbed the pill's power in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
• The Golden Pattern Ice Silkworm broke through to a million years, restored its origin, gained a tenth golden pattern, and renamed itself Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• Dark clouds carrying divine power gathered over the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, and powerful beings across the world sensed the impending tribulation.
• Di Tian was about to investigate when an ethereal voice identified Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and said it could not survive the tribulation or be rescued.
• Tianlin and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm agreed that sacrifice was the only way to dispel the tribulation, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm entered Tianlin's Sea of Spirit to give him its soul ring and soul bone.

As Tianlin struggled to survive absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s million-year Soul Ring and Head Soul Bone, people connected to him sensed his danger. The Holy Spirit Pearl revealed an ancient Descendant of Nüwa in Tianlin’s Sea of Spirit, but she had not yet explained how she could help him.

• Mo Lan, Chen Xin, and Qian Renxue each sensed that Tianlin was in danger, and Qian Renxue sent She Long to investigate.
• Tianlin endured the strain of absorbing the million-year Soul Ring and Head Soul Bone while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tried and then gave up on sealing the ring’s power.
• A woman appeared in Tianlin’s Sea of Spirit and told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that she was a Descendant of Nüwa sleeping within the Holy Spirit Pearl.
• The Descendant of Nüwa claimed that Lady Nüwa could destroy the God Realm plane with one strike, leaving Sky Dream Ice Silkworm astonished.

The Descendant of Nüwa transformed Tianlin’s Holy Breath Barrier into a Holy Spirit Domain and helped make absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Million Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone possible. After seven days, Tianlin completed the fusion, gained immense Mental Power, and found that he had broken through level fifty.

• The Descendant of Nüwa told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that the Holy Spirit Pearl could lead Tianlin toward a God Position beyond the God King level, but could never give him Lady Nüwa’s full power.
• The Descendant of Nüwa evolved Tianlin’s barrier into a Holy Spirit Domain, sealed seventy thousand years of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Soul Ring lifespan, and warned that something else accompanying Tianlin would become his greatest trial.
• The Holy Spirit Domain healed Tianlin, allowing him to resume meditation and absorb the Million Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone together.
• After seven days of repeated injury and healing, Tianlin completed the fusion, and his Mental Power spread across the Sunset Forest.
• Tianlin said he no longer feared Spirit Hall because he believed he could protect his family and friends, then discovered he had broken through level fifty.

Tianlin learned the eight abilities granted by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s million-year soul ring and soul bone, then left the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to hunt for a fifth soul ring. Meanwhile, Flender and the Shrek Seven Devils prepared to travel to Heaven Dou City to find an academy that would let them compete in the tournament’s preliminary rounds.

• Tianlin explained that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s soul bone gave him Soul Reading, Heart Seizing, Mental Interference Domain, and Predict Future.
• Tianlin described the soul ring’s Holy Breath Healing, Five Elements Purifying Evil, Gather Breath Return Soul, and Summoning Art - Martial God abilities.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Tianlin that his remaining soul bone power could let him absorb a soul ring from a Soul Beast between forty and sixty thousand years old.
• Tianlin left the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and set out to find a fifth soul ring for his Demon Sword.
• Qin Ming advised Flender that the Shrek Seven Devils needed to join an academy and compete in the tournament’s earlier rounds rather than receive a direct place in the finals.
• Flender decided to take the Little Monsters to Heaven Dou City to seek an academy willing to accept them.

Tianlin searched Sunset Forest for a powerful water-element Soul Beast to strengthen his Demon Sword and secure a future Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. With Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s guidance, he killed a forty-five-thousand-year Radiant Flying Fish and prepared to absorb its soul ring.

• Tianlin waited beside a lake at night while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm identified a suitable Radiant Flying Fish nearby.
• Tianlin drew away the fish’s moonlight to provoke it, then led it on his Flying Sword to a secluded valley.
• Tianlin used his Million Year Soul Bone skill, Heart Seizing, to control the Radiant Flying Fish and make it injure itself.
• Tianlin finished the weakened fish with Radiant Immortal Execution Slash and thanked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for his strength.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged Tianlin to absorb the fish’s soul ring, saying his physique and Mental Power could withstand it.

Tianlin mastered his fifth soul skill, Illusory Water Shocking Thunder, which could raise others’ cultivation, help them break through bottlenecks, and stack with other kinds of enhancement. After returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and reassuring his worried parents, he faced Chen Xin and the other leaders, who wanted an explanation for his sudden growth.

• Tianlin explained that Illusory Water Shocking Thunder raised a target’s cultivation, could stack with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s enhancement, and could help Soul Masters overcome bottlenecks by obtaining soul rings.
• Tianlin told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that he was willing to support the people he loved, then flew back toward Heaven Dou City and chose to visit the sect first.
• The sect’s disciples welcomed Tianlin back and explained that his parents and Chen Xin had been searching for him after sensing he was in danger; Sky Dream Ice Silkworm admitted it had erased the coordinates to keep anyone from disturbing his absorption.
• Tianlin apologized to Jun Tianhai and Mo Lan for worrying them, and Chen Xin noticed that Tianlin had become a Soul King with exceptionally condensed soul power.
• That night, Tianlin met Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Bone Douluo, and Old Monster in the Seven Treasure Great Hall, where Chen Xin asked him to explain what had happened.

Tianlin revealed that he had gained a platinum Soul Ring from the million-year Soul Beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, shocking Ning Fengzhi and the others. He warned them that he could not safely use his Holy Spirit Pearl and reminded them that he had also gained a fifth Soul Skill for his Demon Suppressing Sword.

• Tianlin told Dugu Bo, Gu Rong, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi that he had reached level fifty and obtained a forty-five-thousand-year Soul Ring for his Demon Suppressing Sword.
• Ning Fengzhi deduced that Tianlin had added a Soul Ring to his Second Spirit and asked him to reveal the Holy Spirit Pearl.
• Tianlin showed a white Soul Ring, and Ning Fengzhi recognized its golden light as a sign of a precious, god-related ring rather than a ten-year ring.
• Tianlin revealed that the ring came from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year Soul Beast that had failed to pass its heavenly tribulation, and recounted his recent experiences.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo discussed Tianlin's prospects, and Tianlin cautioned that he could not use the Holy Spirit Pearl safely before bringing up his Demon Suppressing Sword's fifth Soul Skill.

Tianlin explained how Illusory Water Shocking Thunder could increase a soul beast’s age, giving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a way to control the spirit rings it obtained. Ning Fengzhi promised to appoint Tianlin Vice Sect Master at rank seventy and agreed to arrange his engagement to Ning Rongrong after the Soul Master Competition, while Qian Renxue learned that Tianlin had returned safely.

• Tianlin explained that Illusory Water Shocking Thunder could increase a soul beast’s age, and Ning Fengzhi realized the sect could use it to obtain spirit rings of chosen ages.
• Tianlin confirmed the skill’s current five-thousand-year limit and said it could help the sect obtain Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast spirit rings and spirit bones.
• Tianlin told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that he planned to use the skill against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Behemoth to avenge him.
• Ning Fengzhi promised to appoint Tianlin Vice Sect Master once he reached rank seventy, and agreed to hold an engagement ceremony for him and Ning Rongrong after the Soul Master Competition.
• Snake Lance Douluo reported Tianlin’s return to Qian Renxue, who was relieved to learn he was safe.

Tianlin reunited with Ning Rongrong and the others, while Ning Fengzhi welcomed the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple and considered Ma Hongjun’s potential. Ning Rongrong chose to remain at Shrek Academy for her friends’ sake, and Ma Hongjun gained Ning Fengzhi’s promise to help evolve his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

• Tianlin was summoned to the Seven Treasure Great Hall when Yin Yang returned with Ning Rongrong, Gu Ran, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple, and Meng Yiran.
• Ning Fengzhi welcomed the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple into the sect, while Meng Yiran joined Shrek Academy and quickly fell for Oscar.
• Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran complained that Grandmaster refused to teach them the Spirit Fusion Theory, and Tianlin offered Rongrong the choice to leave Shrek.
• Ning Rongrong decided to stay at Shrek Academy until graduation and supervise Ma Hongjun, whose recent cultivation had improved under her watch.
• Ning Fengzhi praised Ma Hongjun’s Fire Phoenix and promised to devote his efforts to helping it complete its evolution.

Ning Fengzhi persuaded Oscar to reject a short-term enhancement skill and develop his Food-Type Soul Master abilities for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After Tianlin revealed he had reached level fifty-five, Oscar agreed, and Tianlin took out an ornate box prepared for Ning Fengzhi.

• Ning Fengzhi explained that Oscar's food skills were better suited to supplying an army than to enhancing a small battle team, and warned him against following Yu Xiaogang's plan.
• Oscar hesitated because he feared letting Shrek down, but Tianlin revealed his five spirit rings and said Shrek could not win the competition even with Oscar's enhancements.
• Oscar agreed not to sacrifice his future for Yu Xiaogang's path, and Ning Fengzhi promised to find him a spirit ring useful to both his growth and the competition.
• Tianlin took an ornate box from his Treasure Pouch at Ning Fengzhi's request, exciting Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun.

Tianlin distributed rare treasures and cultivation guidance to Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Meng Yiran, then urged Gu Ran to strengthen his Soul Power before the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. After they absorbed their rewards, Ning Rongrong made the most astonishing breakthrough, gaining a nine-treasure pagoda and seven Soul Power ranks.

• Tianlin gave Ma Hongjun the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and warned that he would become a key disciple who had to train until reaching Titled Douluo.
• Ning Rongrong swallowed the Mending Heaven Pill, while Oscar and Meng Yiran received Jade Emerald Spirit Pills and Oscar was given the sect's Meditation Method.
• After the others began cultivating, Tianlin told Gu Ran to focus on Soul Power and reach rank forty-eight or forty-nine before the tournament, promising him a gift that could help him contend with Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
• Ma Hongjun's evil fire was purified and his Soul Power passed rank thirty, while Oscar and Meng Yiran reached rank thirty-five.
• Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda became a nine-treasure pagoda and her Soul Power rose from rank thirty-two to rank thirty-nine.

Tianlin brought Ning Rongrong to Sunset Forest to help her obtain a Fourth Spirit Ring beyond her current limit, using his fifth soul skill to strengthen a Soul Beast safely enough for her to absorb its ring. The chapter ended as Dugu Bo led them to a herd of Plate Armor Rhinoceroses, a defensive Soul Beast suited to Rongrong.

• Tianlin and Dugu Bo took Ning Rongrong to Sunset Forest despite her being only Rank 39, and Tianlin explained how Illusory Water Shocking Thunder could strengthen a Soul Beast without increasing its soul's spiritual pressure.
• Tianlin offered Rongrong the choice of attempting a ring beyond her limit or choosing a safer option, and Rongrong chose the stronger ring to prepare herself to lead the sect.
• Dugu Bo suggested a defensive spirit ring for Rongrong's fourth ring, and Tianlin agreed with the plan.
• Dugu Bo led Tianlin and Ning Rongrong to a lake where they found a herd of Plate Armor Rhinoceroses, which Tianlin recognized as suitable for Rongrong.

Tianlin, Dugu Bo, and Ning Rongrong selected a suitable Plate Armor Rhinoceros for Ning Rongrong’s fourth Soul Ring. Dugu Bo and Tianlin weakened it, and Tianlin boosted its cultivation to ten thousand years before Ning Rongrong killed it; she then began absorbing its black Soul Ring with Tianlin’s help.

• Tianlin asked Dugu Bo how he would identify and capture the right Plate Armor Rhinoceros, and Ning Rongrong and Dugu Bo teased him for his lack of knowledge about Soul Beasts.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that the rhinoceroses gathered to drink before dispersing, allowing Dugu Bo to single out a target and estimate its age by its place in the herd.
• Dugu Bo bound a rhinoceros he estimated at roughly fifty-five hundred to six thousand years, and Tianlin cracked its armor with Frezing Snow before shattering it with Myriad Swords Technique.
• Tianlin used Illusory Water Shocking Thunder to raise Ning Rongrong to the level-forty standard and boost the injured rhinoceros to ten-thousand-year cultivation.
• Ning Rongrong killed the rhinoceros through its broken armor, then began absorbing its black Soul Ring as Tianlin unfolded the evolving Holy Spirit Domain to assist her.

Tianlin returned to the sect with Rongrong and Ma Hongjun, then received Ning Fengzhi’s Soul Guiding Bone Tempering Method, a technique designed to protect his body as he added spirit rings to his second martial soul. The two agreed to keep the dangerous method secret, and Tianlin was to memorize it before destroying the only copy.

• Rongrong returned as a level-forty-two Soul Ancestor, while Ma Hongjun reached level thirty-six after gaining his third spirit ring.
• Tianlin gave Ning Fengzhi four Hidden Weapon blueprints, prompting him to arrange for materials and blacksmiths to produce the weapons.
• Ning Fengzhi presented Tianlin with the Soul Guiding Bone Tempering Method, which redirected surplus spirit-ring energy to strengthen soul bones and raise the body’s tolerance.
• Tianlin recognized that the method could be abused to create high-age soul bones at the cost of human lives, so he and Ning Fengzhi agreed to keep it secret.
• Ning Fengzhi gave Tianlin one day to memorize the method before destroying the notebook, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm welcomed the chance to use energy from its sealed two-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

Jun Tianlin returned to Shrek Academy with Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong, where he intervened when Titan pressured Tang San over a fight with his grandson. After Titan agreed to leave Tang San alone, Tianlin asked how his strength compared to Tang Hao's when Tang Hao was young.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged Tianlin to cultivate with a method that could channel the Million Year Soul Ring's leaking power into his Soul Bones.
• Tianlin brought Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong back to Heaven Dou City and found that Blue Tyrant Academy had been renamed Shrek.
• Tianlin sensed Titan's Soul Power and saw him use it to oppress Tang San while Zhao Wuji dared not intervene.
• Tianlin attacked Titan with his Fourth Soul Skill, and Titan eventually used his Fifth Soul Skill to force Tianlin back without injuring him.
• Tianlin identified himself as Jun Tianlin, a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple and Sword Douluo's student, and persuaded Titan to let Tang San go.
• Tianlin asked Titan to compare his strike with Tang Hao's strength when Tang Hao was young, and Titan said Tang Hao had been far weaker.

Tianlin confronted Grandmaster over the Soul Ring paths he had chosen for Oscar and Meng Yiran, arguing that Grandmaster was sacrificing their futures to benefit Tang San and Shrek. The dispute ended with Tianlin accusing Grandmaster of making every decision in Tang San’s service.

• Tianlin told Tang San that Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Meng Yiran had joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and that the sect would oversee their Soul Ring choices.
• Grandmaster objected that the four were his students and said he should decide their Soul Rings, while Tang San angrily challenged Tianlin for questioning his teacher.
• Tianlin asked Oscar and Meng Yiran to explain their paths, and they said Oscar would pursue enhancement while Meng Yiran would add paralyzing poison to her Serpent Cane.
• Tianlin argued that Oscar should focus on supplying his food-type martial soul and Meng Yiran should retain her assault path and lethal poisons.
• Tianlin accused Grandmaster of weakening Oscar and Meng Yiran’s prospects to help Tang San and conceal Tang San’s strength during the competition.

Tianlin ended his cooperation with Tang San after confronting Grandmaster’s theories, while Grandmaster revealed Tang San’s Clear Sky Sect heritage to strengthen his resolve. Tianlin invited several Shrek students to Heaven Dou, but they chose to remain at the academy as he departed.

• Tianlin challenged Grandmaster’s theories, and Tang San threatened to end their cooperation and seek justice from him someday.
• Tianlin left with Rongrong and the others, deciding Tang San no longer had much value to him now that he could pursue immortal arts.
• Grandmaster revealed that Tang San was the Clear Sky Douluo’s son and heir to the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang San resolved to surpass Tianlin and reclaim the Tang Sect blueprints.
• Tianlin invited Rongrong, Hongjun, Oscar, and Yiran to come with him to Heaven Dou, but Hongjun and Oscar chose to stay at Shrek Academy.
• Rongrong chose to stay with Meng Yiran and help watch over Hongjun and Oscar, while Tianlin said farewell and left Shrek Academy.

Tianlin returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where the Royal Fight Team welcomed him and prepared to resume training together. After Xue Qinghe warned Tianlin against risking his life for another breakthrough, they were summoned to investigate a killing at Xue Beng's dormitory, where the Education Committee had sealed off the building.

• Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling criticized Tianlin for leaving the team, while Qin Ming and the others welcomed his breakthrough to the Soul King realm.
• Qin Ming gathered the nine members of the Royal Fight Team and planned a new round of special training for the upcoming academy tournament.
• Xue Qinghe visited Tianlin and learned that Tianlin had nearly died after obtaining an over-limit fifth Soul Ring.
• A maid reported that Xue Beng had killed someone in the academy, and Xue Qinghe and Tianlin hurried to his sealed dormitory building.
• Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin met Xue Qinghe and hesitated to explain what Xue Beng had done.

When Xue Beng killed a commoner girl to provoke Xue Qinghe, Tianlin threatened and hurled him aside, shifting the political blame away from the Crown Prince. Xue Qinghe arranged compensation for the girl’s family, while Xue Beng’s eyes filled with black qi.

• Xue Qinghe found the dead girl in Xue Beng’s room and ordered Xue Beng to kneel, but Prince Xue Xing urged him to settle the matter quietly.
• Xue Xing took Xue Beng away for punishment, but Tianlin seized Xue Beng by the throat and warned him not to repeat the crime.
• Tianlin threw Xue Beng against a wall and left, while Xue Qinghe defused Xue Xing’s protest by pointing out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s power.
• Xue Qinghe ordered a generous burial, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins for the girl’s family, and protection for them.
• After Xue Qinghe left, Xue Beng raged and entered another room with black qi in his eyes; Xue Qinghe then thanked Tianlin for drawing the nobles’ anger away from him.
