Chapter Summaries

Tang San failed to win Xiao Wu’s affection, while Yu Xiaogang recognized him from his previous life and enlisted Bibi Dong’s help to regain control over their teacher-student relationship. Bibi Dong arrived at Notting City Soul Master Academy and announced that she had come to see the Master, leaving the headmaster and academy confused about whom she meant.

• Xiao Wu rejected Tang San’s offer to share a blanket, and Da Ming warned him to stay away from her.

• Bibi Dong arrived at the academy, where Tang San recognized her and noticed Xiao Wu and Er Ming’s hatred toward her.
• Bibi Dong told the headmaster she had come to see the Master, prompting him to ask who she meant.

Bibi Dong visited Yu Xiaogang, whom she still defended as a great theorist, and Yu Xiaogang introduced Tang San as his disciple. After forcing Tang San to kneel and repeat “a teacher for a day, a father for life,” Yu Xiaogang claimed the role of his father, while Bibi Dong warned Tang San to treat him well.

• Bibi Dong defended Yu Xiaogang’s reputation, though the Evil Emperor warned her not to tie Spirit Hall to his plagiarism.

• Yu Xiaogang revealed that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls, making Bibi Dong look at him differently.
• Yu Xiaogang claimed Tang San had once knelt and declared “a teacher for a day, a father for life,” and Tang San suspected Yu Xiaogang was a reincarnator.
• Tang San knelt and repeated the phrase under pressure, and Bibi Dong warned him that Yu Xiaogang was now his father as well as his teacher.

Tang San secretly plotted against Yu Xiaogang and went with him to Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first Soul Ring. After Tang San defeated the Datura Snake and absorbed its Soul Ring, he discovered his first Soul Skill was Poison Mist Spray.

• Yu Xiaogang used his public master-disciple bond with Tang San to pressure him, while Tang San and Tang Hao decided to wait until Bibi Dong left before acting against him.
• Bibi Dong returned to Spirit Hall, and Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang to take him to Soul Hunting Forest for his first Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang drove off a wolf pack with Luo Sanpao, then advised Tang San to seek a life or holy-light Soul Ring after finding a fifty-year Ethereal Flower.
• A Datura Snake attacked, and Yu Xiaogang fled while it poisoned Luo Sanpao and knocked him unconscious.
• Tang San defeated the Datura Snake using Tang Sect Secret Techniques and absorbed its Soul Ring while leaving Yu Xiaogang untreated.
• Tang San activated his first Soul Skill, Poison Mist Spray, which released paralyzing venom from bulges on his back and killed nearby insects and plants.

Tang San cut off Yu Xiaogang’s poisoned, necrotic organ and promised to restore it once he became a god, while concealing his true motives. Ma Hongjun failed to get his martial soul awakened at Spirit Hall, so he sought out Flender and used memories from his previous life to persuade him to help.

• Tang San removed the poison from Yu Xiaogang’s body but said the necrotic purple sweet potato had to be cut off to prevent the poison from spreading.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to the amputation, then made Tang San swear on his martial soul that he would restore what was lost.
• Tang San swore to restore it and returned to Notting City Soul Master Academy with Yu Xiaogang, privately pleased that Yu Xiaogang would hide the injury.
• Ma Hongjun went to a Spirit Hall awakening branch but could not pay six Gold Soul Coins or agree to join Spirit Hall, so he left without awakening his martial soul.
• Ma Hongjun found Flender and claimed they had been teacher and student in a previous life, revealing that he would awaken the Evil Fire Phoenix with innate level-nine soul power.
• Flender believed Ma Hongjun enough to agree to help awaken his martial soul.

Ma Hongjun awakened an Evil Fire Roast Chicken Martial Soul with almost no innate soul power and was expelled from Shrek Academy. At Spirit City’s awakening ceremony, Luo San waited to discover his Martial Soul after losing most of his cultivation.

• Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire Phoenix failed to awaken, leaving him with a roast chicken Martial Soul and innate soul power of level 0.5.
• Flender rejected Ma Hongjun’s plea to stay at Shrek Academy and had Zhao Wuji escort him out.
• Ma Hongjun’s anger stirred his Evil Fire, and he leered at two passing sisters before they fled.
• Bibi Dong returned to the Papal Hall, where Qian Xunyi invited her to watch Spirit City’s Martial Soul Awakening ceremony.
• Luo San joined the orphan queue, hoping to learn his Martial Soul after his Mysterious Heaven Technique cultivation had nearly stopped progressing.
• The ceremony began, and several children awakened Martial Souls including Scented-Wind Falcon, Wild Plains Wolf, Boxing Kangaroo, and Tiger-Head Saber.

Luo San and six other children awakened colorful, cannon-like Martial Souls resembling Luo Sanpao, each with 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power. Qian Xunyi summoned the seven to Papal Hall, where they defended their Martial Souls and considered their potential.

• Luo San awakened Luo Sanpao and tested at 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power, shocking the crowd and exciting Bibi Dong, who hoped to use his Martial Soul to help Xiao Gang.
• Black One awakened a black Luo Sanpao-like beast, named it Black Big Cannon, and also tested at 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power.
• Yan Er, Bing Si, Feng Wu, Tu Liuzi, and Luo Cai awakened flame, ice, wind, earth, and rainbow-colored Luo Sanpao-like Martial Souls, each with 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power.
• Qian Xunyi sent Luo San and the other six children to Papal Hall, where they summoned their Martial Souls before him and Bibi Dong.
• The seven children shared their views on their Martial Souls, with Luo San arguing that a Martial Soul mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul might not be useless.

Qian Xunyi revealed that the seven children’s cannon-shaped Martial Souls were young forms of different Holy Dragons and recruited them as his godchildren to train as the Seven-Cannon Team. After he announced the team’s future tournament debut, Yu Xiaogang feared they might prove his own Martial Soul could have evolved and angrily blamed Luo Sanpao.

• Qian Xunyi explained that Luo Sanpao was a young Bright Holy Dragon and that the other children’s Martial Souls were young forms of other Holy Dragons.
• Qian Xunyi told the seven children he would guide them, and they accepted him as their godfather and became the Seven-Cannon Team.
• Qian Xunyi told Bibi Dong that Yu Xiaogang could not follow Luo Sanpao’s path because he had already ruined his Martial Soul.
• Qian Xunyi announced at Papal Hall that he would train the Seven-Cannon Team for the Mainland Soul Master Tournament seven years later.
• Yu Xiaogang heard the news, feared the children might prove him useless, and angrily insisted that only rare herbs could evolve Luo Sanpao.

Tang San mocked Yu Xiaogang’s incompetence while Qian Xunyi challenged Bibi Dong to a wager over the Seven-Cannon Team’s growth and Luo Sanpao’s evolution. As the team ate dragon-type Soul Beast flesh matched to their attributes, Bibi Dong saw their Martial Souls strengthen and learned that this was the first step toward evolving them into dragons.

• Tang San entered Yu Xiaogang’s room and pretended to worry that Spirit Hall might evolve Luo Sanpao into a Golden Holy Dragon, while privately hoping it would humiliate Yu Xiaogang.
• Qian Xunyi showed Bibi Dong the dragon flesh prepared for the Seven-Cannon Team, then wagered that he could train the seven children to the Soul Elder realm before they turned twelve and surpass Yu Xiaogang’s level 29 record.
• Bibi Dong accepted the wager, demanding that Qian Xunyi use no Immortal Herbs; Qian Xunyi offered her a Golden Dragon-Infused Fruit if he failed and required her to admit she was a clown if she lost.
• Qian Xunyi had the seven children feed their Martial Souls dragon flesh matched to their attributes, and Bibi Dong observed their Martial Souls grow sturdier and their Soul Power become more condensed.
• Qian Xunyi explained to Bibi Dong that feeding Luo Sanpao matching dragon meat was the first step toward strengthening it and evolving it into a giant dragon.

Qian Xunyi publicized a method for stimulating young Martial Souls with bloodline-rich food, while Yu Xiaogang's attempt to use it on Luo Sanpao failed and made him a laughingstock. Years later, Huo Yuhao reached Level 30 and attempted to absorb a six-thousand-year Soul Beast's Soul Ring, but an accident occurred despite Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's help.

• Qian Xunyi announced that blood and flesh from creatures with similar bloodlines and attributes could stimulate young Martial Souls, and Yu Xiaogang tried the method on Luo Sanpao with draconic Soul Beast meat.
• Luo Sanpao swelled up and released foul gas instead of evolving, so Yu Xiaogang publicly denounced Qian Xunyi's method.
• Qian Xunyi explained that the method only worked for children whose Martial Souls had not yet developed, then showed the Seven-Cannon Team's transforming Sanpaos to the assembled crowd.
• Yu Xiaogang became a laughingstock again as the Seven-Cannon Team's Martial Souls showed clear signs of dragon transformation.
• Huo Yuhao reached Level 30 at Shrek Academy and chose a six-thousand-year Camouflage Illusion Butterfly for his third Soul Ring despite Yan Shaozhe's concerns.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helped Huo Yuhao suppress the Soul Ring's resistance, but an accident still occurred as Huo Yuhao tried to absorb it.

After a failed attempt to absorb Illusion Butterfly's remnant soul, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes martial spirit deteriorated, leaving him unable to cultivate past Rank 29. Shrek failed to repair it and decided to send him to the Body Sect to seek a cure and spy on its martial spirit secrets, while Huo Yuhao promised to remain loyal to Shrek.

• Illusion Butterfly's remnant soul damaged Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes, and Yan Shaozhe's intervention saved his life but left him at Rank 29.
• A soul master told Yan Shaozhe and the Sea God's Pavilion elders that Huo Yuhao could not break through to Rank 30 unless his Spirit Eyes were repaired.
• Huo Yuhao tried medicinal herbs and pills supplied by Zhou Yi, Fan Yu, and Wang Dong, but they failed to help him.
• At a Sea God's Pavilion meeting, Yan Shaozhe proposed sending Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect to use its resources and uncover its secrets.
• Yan Shaozhe explained the plan to Huo Yuhao, who pledged that his heart would remain with Shrek while he joined the Body Sect in pretense.

Shrek Academy brought Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect, hoping to have him join and secretly gain access to its knowledge. Qian Xunyi exposed that Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes had shattered under Shrek’s guidance and revealed the first of at least ten ways the Body Sect could repair them.

• Yan Shaozhe presented Huo Yuhao to Du Busi as a talented Body Martial Spirit user willing to join the Body Sect.
• Du Busi went to consult the new sect master, Qian Xunyi, before accepting Huo Yuhao.
• Qian Xunyi accused Shrek of ruining Huo Yuhao’s martial spirit and sending him to the Body Sect to solve the problem.
• Qian Duoduo admitted Shrek had failed to help Huo Yuhao and asked the Body Sect to treat him.
• Qian Xunyi said the Body Sect had at least ten solutions and showed the Tracing-Light Double-Pupil Lotus, which could repair Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes and help them evolve.
• Huo Yuhao sensed his Spirit Eyes yearn for the lotus, but Qian Xunyi put it away and said it was only the first solution.

Qian Xunyi displayed ten ways the Body Sect could repair Huo Yuhao’s shattered Martial Spirit, then refused to accept him after exposing his and Shrek’s plan to use the sect’s resources and secrets. Shrek left humiliated, and as news of Huo Yuhao’s condition spread, criticism intensified until Sea God’s Pavilion called another meeting about him.

• Qian Xunyi showed Shrek’s representatives ten methods that could restore and improve Huo Yuhao’s shattered Martial Spirit, including a hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone.
• Huo Yuhao secretly assured Yan Shaozhe that he would remain loyal to Shrek and share Body Martial Spirit cultivation methods with the academy, and Yan Shaozhe urged him to pay respects to Qian Xunyi.
• Qian Xunyi stopped Huo Yuhao from treating him as a Sect Master and refused to accept him, calling him an ingrate for planning to take the Body Sect’s benefits and secrets back to Shrek.
• Qian Xunyi accused Shrek of a history of betrayal and cited Yu Xiaogang’s dealings with Spirit Hall, leaving the Shrek group humiliated.
• Huo Yuhao left vowing revenge, while news of his shattered Martial Spirit spread and further damaged Shrek’s reputation.
• Criticism of Huo Yuhao grew inside Shrek, and Sea God’s Pavilion convened another meeting about him.

Huo Yuhao lost his Shrek Seven Monsters title to Dai Huabin, was beaten again for the class monitor position, and faced Zhou Yi’s threat of expulsion. As Qian Xunyi planned further suffering for him, Tang San discovered that Huo Yuhao’s fortune had turned pitch-black.

• Xuan Zi and the Sea God's Pavilion decided to hold an arena to determine the Shrek Seven Monsters, and Dai Huabin defeated Huo Yuhao to take his title.
• Dai Huabin challenged Huo Yuhao for the class monitor position, defeated him again, and was named monitor by Zhou Yi.
• Zhou Yi warned Huo Yuhao that he would be expelled unless he reached Rank 30 by the end of the semester, while Wang Dong stayed by his side and tried to help him cultivate.
• Qian Xunyi told the Plane Spirit that Huo Yuhao had not suffered enough and planned to make Wang Dong's investment in him fail.
• Tang San checked the Mystic Light Mirror and saw that Huo Yuhao's once-bright fortune had turned pitch-black.

After learning that Huo Yuhao had become an Abandoned Child of Heaven, Tang San abandoned his plan to recruit him and decided to take revenge while seeking to transfer Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to his daughter. Sky Dream agreed to move into Tang Wutong’s Mental Sea, and Tang San explained how to transfer his origin through Haodong Power.

• Tang San learned from Tang Hao that the Plane Spirit had reclaimed Huo Yuhao’s destiny fortune and cursed him, turning him into an Abandoned Child of Heaven.
• Tang San considered reclaiming his investments in Huo Yuhao, then chose to humiliate him and collect interest instead.
• Tang San entered Huo Yuhao’s Mental Sea through Haodong Power and told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that Huo Yuhao had no future as a god.
• Tang San revealed that Wang Dong was his daughter, Tang Wutong, and offered Sky Dream the chance to change hosts.
• Sky Dream agreed to move into Tang Wutong’s Mental Sea, and Tang San explained how to transfer his origin through Haodong Power.

Tang San secretly moved Tian Meng's origin from Huo Yuhao into Wang Dong's Mental Sea and took control of Wang Dong's body to keep her away from Huo Yuhao. After Wang Dong appeared as Wang Dong'er and left with Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin became consumed by jealousy.

• Tian Meng transferred one-tenth of his origin into Wang Dong's Mental Sea, while Huo Yuhao believed his Spirit Eyes were recovering through cultivation with Wang Dong.
• Tang San altered Wang Dong's feelings toward Huo Yuhao, then possessed her body when she resisted and ordered Tian Meng to continue moving the little suns.
• Tang San, inhabiting Wang Dong's body, depleted nearly all the little suns in Huo Yuhao and decided to humiliate him.
• Wang Dong appeared at the academy as Wang Dong'er, stunning everyone, and took Huo Yuhao out of the classroom.
• Dai Huabin fell in love with Wang Dong'er at first sight, then grew furious as he recalled her closeness and Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Huo Yuhao.

Dai Huabin repeatedly humiliated Huo Yuhao over his relationship with Wang Dong'er, and Huo Yuhao lost their duel. That night, Wang Dong'er and Tian Meng betrayed Huo Yuhao, stripping him of his powers and leaving him to confront Tian Meng's defection.

• Dai Huabin challenged Huo Yuhao to leave Wang Dong'er, and Huo Yuhao accepted a duel but lost.
• Wang Dong'er rejected Dai Huabin's claim that Huo Yuhao had to honor their wager and left with Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao continued to face humiliation at Shrek while Wang Dong'er remained by his side.

• Wang Dong'er revealed Tian Meng, who told Huo Yuhao he had abandoned him because Huo Yuhao's ruined talent no longer served his ambitions.

After Tianmeng and Wang Dong'er betrayed Huo Yuhao, Tang San erased Tianmeng's consciousness and left Huo Yuhao stripped of most of his abilities. Shrek Academy expelled Huo Yuhao, who left consumed by hatred for the academy and Tang San.

Luo San obtained a 410-year Bright Holy Dragon Soul Ring, transforming Luo Sanpao into a Golden Little Dragon, and discussed his scythe Martial Soul’s potential with Qian Xunyi. He decided to establish the Tang Sect within Spirit Hall and was taken to the Soul Tool Tower, where its workshops captivated him.

• Bibi Dong brought Yu Xiaogang a hundred-year-old Golden Earth Dragon, but Luo Sanpao turned its meat into gas without absorbing any of it.
