Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao entered the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Xiao a Soul Beast, and Huo Yuhao’s trap led them to a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear. The bear survived his Ice Blast Technique, and Elder Xuan moved to subdue it for Xiao Xiao’s Soul Ring.

• Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong argued over Huo Yuhao as the group set out for the Star Dou Great Forest.
• The trio defeated a ten-thousand-year Tiger Demon Cat, but Huo Yuhao noticed a roughly two-thousand-year bear approaching and led his companions away.
• Huo Yuhao triggered an Ice Blast Technique that created a huge frozen crater, surprising Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Elder Xuan.
• The Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear survived the blast with one arm lost, and Elder Xuan recognized it as one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts.
• Elder Xuan flew toward the bear to handle it, and it tore at him with its remaining right claw.

Xiao Xiao received the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear's External Soul Bone, but its violent energy threatened to destroy her hand. Huo Yuhao absorbed most of the backlash, and Xiao Xiao successfully gained the Darkgolden Terrorclaw ability by morning.

• Xuan Zi killed the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, and Xiao Xiao prepared to absorb its Soul Ring until Huo Yuhao noticed the beast had a Soul Bone.
• Xuan Zi identified the bone as a legendary Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone, and Xiao Xiao offered it to Huo Yuhao, who passed it back to her after absorbing some of its energy into the Thousand Illusion Bracelet.
• Xiao Xiao absorbed the Soul Ring, then suffered a dangerous backlash when she tried to fuse with the Soul Bone.
• Huo Yuhao took most of the violent energy from Xiao Xiao's right hand, allowing her to survive the night and complete the fusion.
• Xiao Xiao manifested dark golden terrorclaws from her fingers and learned she could retract them.

Xiao Xiao completed a perilous fusion and gained a third Soul Ring and an External Soul Bone, while Jing Hongchen plotted with a mysterious figure to kill Huo Yuhao and reclaim the Saintess. In Heaven Dou City, Tang Ya awakened her dark power, slaughtered Iron Blood Sect disciples, and faced Tie Li.

• Xiao Xiao collapsed after the fusion succeeded, and Huo Yuhao supported her as she thanked him for saving her arm.
• Jing Hongchen warned a mysterious figure that Sea God's Pavilion could not be attacked directly, and they agreed to strike elsewhere to kill Huo Yuhao and return the Saintess.
• Tang Ya returned to Heaven Dou City and, after a month of isolation and hardship, went to the Tang Sect's former site and unleashed her hatred on the Iron Blood Sect disciples.
• Tang Ya's dark Blue Silver Grass absorbed the blood essence of dozens of disciples, revealing her awakened talent for devouring life and her transformation into an Evil Soul Master.
• Tang Ya used Dark Blue Silver Prison against Tie Li and the Iron Blood Sect, but Tie Li's six-ring Soul Emperor strength let him withstand her attacks and advance on her.

Tang Ya used a sinister man's power to survive Tie Li's attack and avenge her parents before they escaped the arriving imperial family. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Xiao demonstrated her strengthened cauldrons and Darkgolden Terrorclaw as she, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao continued searching for Huo Yuhao's third Soul Ring.

• Tang Ya's sealed inheritance released black energy that awakened a bloodthirsty power, leaving Tie Li paralyzed with fear.
• The sinister man gave Tang Ya Tie Li, and Tang Ya killed him with hidden weapons to avenge her parents.
• When the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family arrived, the sinister man took Tang Ya and vanished with her in crimson light.
• In the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Xiao demonstrated the increased power of her Three-Life Soul-Calming Cauldron and Darkgolden Terrorclaw.
• Wang Dong urged the group to continue searching for Huo Yuhao's third Soul Ring, and Huo Yuhao left with them.

Huo Yuhao's group met Vina, Mu Xue, and Mo Yunfei while seeking a guide into the Star Dou Great Forest, then traveled with them into the Mixed Area. A ten-thousand-year Red Fire Monkey attacked Vina with a fireball, leaving Mo Yunfei and Mu Xue unable to reach her.

• Wang Dong agreed to let Mo Yunfei's group rest at their camp, and Mo Yunfei offered to help the trio explore deeper into the forest.
• Mo Yunfei identified Huo Yuhao as the true core of his group, while Vina and Mu Xue discussed how unusual he seemed.
• The next day, Huo Yuhao's group traveled with Mo Yunfei's party into the Mixed Area and was attacked by Red Fire Monkeys.
• Mo Yunfei warned that a ten-thousand-year Red Fire Monkey was among the troop and ordered everyone to retreat.
• The Red Fire Monkey launched fireballs, and one flew toward Vina as Mo Yunfei cried out and Mu Xue worried, but neither could get to her.

After the battle with the monkey troop, Huo Yuhao left to find a suitable Soul Beast and encountered the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Xuan Zi captured the beast and used it to bargain with Scarlet King for a Soul Beast suitable for Huo Yuhao.

• After Mo Yunfei's group defeated the monkey troop, Vina thanked Xiao Xiao for protecting her with the Three Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron.
• Huo Yuhao left the group to search for a suitable Soul Beast, and Xuan Zi warned him that he could not absorb a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring before agreeing to let him try.
• Huo Yuhao frightened the charging Twin Cyclops away by revealing his azure Six Eyes, then waited for the Emperor Auspicious Beast to arrive.
• Ice Empress and Elder Yi identified the Emperor Auspicious Beast as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and explained that Tang San had split his daughter's soul to use her in a scheme against Huo Yuhao.
• Xuan Zi fought Scarlet King, subdued him, and captured the Emperor Auspicious Beast; Huo Yuhao later found Xuan Zi using the beast as leverage to request a suitable Soul Beast for him.

Huo Yuhao absorbed part of the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s Power of Destiny instead of undergoing Attribute Guidance, foiling Tang San’s scheme. Xuan Zi exchanged the beast for a dying Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Spirit Bei and returned with the students to Shrek City, while Di Tian took the Emperor Auspicious Beast home.

• Xuan Zi suppressed the Emperor Auspicious Beast and told Huo Yuhao to press his forehead against its third eye for Attribute Guidance.
• Tang San plotted to use Attribute Guidance to interfere with Huo Yuhao’s destiny and kill him.
• Huo Yuhao placed his palm over the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s third eye and absorbed one-tenth of its Power of Destiny, leaving the beast weakened.
• Xuan Zi met Scarlet King at the forest border, where Scarlet King brought a dying Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Spirit Bei in exchange for the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
• Di Tian promised the Emperor Auspicious Beast that it would remain his child even without its auspicious power, then took it home.
• Tang San raged in the Heaven-Peering Hall and blamed the Plane Consciousness for thwarting his plans.

Huo Yuhao learned that the Holy Spirit Cult had abducted Ma Xiaotao and entered the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region to pursue them after absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. He left Scarlet King’s devastating attack hanging before him while casually roasting a marshmallow, as Di Tian watched to see how he would respond.

• Xuan Zi praised Huo Yuhao for absorbing the Purple Spirit Warg’s ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, then discovered Mu En gravely weakened and learned that Evil Soul Masters had attacked Shrek Academy and abducted Ma Xiaotao.
• Mu En told Xuan Zi that eleven Evil Soul Masters, including nine Titled Douluo, had taken Ma Xiaotao and seemed to be searching for someone even more important; he asked Xuan Zi not to tell Huo Yuhao yet.
• Outside the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region, Huo Yuhao revealed that his Sea God’s Pavilion self was an illusion clone and decided to visit the Holy Spirit Cult after finishing his Soul Ring.
• Scarlet King detected Huo Yuhao in the core region and attacked, but his flames stopped forty centimeters from Huo Yuhao, who used them to roast a marshmallow.
• Di Tian watched as Scarlet King unleashed a fireball like a blazing sun, while Huo Yuhao calmly peeled the charred layer from his marshmallow and praised its flavor.

Huo Yuhao endured Scarlet King’s attacks and Di Tian’s crushing strike without harm, leaving the Soul Beasts baffled by his mysterious power. He refused to leave the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Area and demanded a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for his Soul Ring, then asked Di Tian to take him to one after surviving Di Tian’s attack.

• Scarlet King’s Great Sun Scarlet Flame burned the surrounding forest to ash, but Huo Yuhao remained unharmed as he sat drinking milk tea.
• Scarlet King attacked Huo Yuhao again and prepared to use its trump card, but Di Tian stopped it and demanded that Huo Yuhao leave the Absolute Forbidden Zone.
• Di Tian noticed his aura slowed almost to a stop near Huo Yuhao and suspected that Huo Yuhao was using a spatial power or a powerful treasure.
• Huo Yuhao refused to leave unless Di Tian found him a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to serve as his Soul Ring, angering Di Tian and Scarlet King.
• Di Tian struck Huo Yuhao with a dragon claw, but Huo Yuhao remained unharmed and asked Di Tian to take him to a Soul Beast instead.

Di Tian repeatedly attacked Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao remained unharmed, prompting Di Tian to use the Silver Dragon King’s power. Huo Yuhao trapped Di Tian and his companions in Unlimited Void and struck Di Tian with Black Flash, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Di Tian’s attacks and Dragon Breath failed to harm Huo Yuhao, while Xiong Jun, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Scarlet King, and the Emperor Auspicious Beast watched in alarm.
• Di Tian decided Huo Yuhao threatened the soul beast race and prepared to use power left by the Silver Dragon King beneath the Lake of Life.
• Huo Yuhao activated Unlimited Void, trapping Di Tian, Scarlet King, and the Emperor Auspicious Beast in a domain that flooded their minds with information and left them unable to move.
• Huo Yuhao used Black Flash to kick Di Tian’s dragon head into the ground.

Huo Yuhao breached Di Tian’s defenses with Spatial Slash but ended the fight when his backup energy ran low. Di Tian negotiated for Huo Yuhao to leave the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Area in exchange for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a Mental Attribute, then summoned Ziying.

• Huo Yuhao’s Spatial Slash cut through Di Tian’s dragon scales, shocking Di Tian, Scarlet King, and the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
• Huo Yuhao dispelled his domain because his backup energy could not sustain a prolonged attack.
• Di Tian took human form, asked who Huo Yuhao was, and offered him a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a Mental Attribute in exchange for a promise to stay out of the Core Area.
• Di Tian silenced Scarlet King and ordered Xiong Jun and the other arriving beasts to stand down.
• Di Tian called Ziying over, and she transformed her spiritual power into the form of a purple-haired little girl.

Di Tian explained that Ziying had become Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit, and the soul beasts learned the arrangement might help her escape her coming Heavenly Tribulation. The beasts then fought for the chance to become Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirits, while Di Tian warned them that godhood might bring danger.

• Scarlet King knocked the Emperor Auspicious Beast unconscious and took her away with Zi Ji, then explained what had happened to Ziying.
• Xiong Jun raged at Huo Yuhao for forcing Ziying into becoming his Soul Spirit, and Di Tian silenced him with a slap.
• Di Tian explained Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit method, and the beasts realized it could let soul beasts live alongside humans and might help them become gods.
• Bi Ji pointed out that Ziying could avoid her coming Heavenly Tribulation and possibly ascend to godhood, prompting the beasts to compete over becoming Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit.
• Xiong Jun returned, changed his mind, and declared that no one else could compete with him to become Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit.
• Di Tian warned the beasts that becoming gods might not be good for soul beasts, but Xiong Jun threw a tantrum and insisted he never wanted to face another Heavenly Tribulation.

After Ziying became Huo Yuhao’s soul spirit, he strengthened his abilities and left the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Area. The Silver Dragon King sensed a familiar feeling in Huo Yuhao and suggested he might be the soul beast race’s hope, while Tang San resolved to punish the soul beasts for aiding him.

• Ziying became Huo Yuhao’s third soul ring, granting him the Weakness Domain and Chaos, and formed a right arm Soul Bone that strengthened his Destiny God Bone.
• After refining his power through nine cycles, Huo Yuhao reached Soul Power Level forty and Semi-Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, but decided not to seek another soul spirit yet.

Huo Yuhao used a new Soul Skill to turn a brutal Beast Arena test into a one-minute victory, while the Soul Guidance Department began the Ultimate Soldier Project with He Caitou instead. A year and a half later, Huo Yuhao had found Ma Xiaotao’s whereabouts but not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Psychic Soul Beast, as his friends continued training and searching for the missing.

• Fan Yu questioned Qian Duoduo’s decision to exclude Huo Yuhao from the Ultimate Soldier Project, and Qian Duoduo said Huo Yuhao could not be forced to join.

• Mu En ordered Shrek Academy to devote half of Shrek City's production income to the Soul Guidance Department and said its future Level-ten Soul Engineer could inherit the Pavilion Master position.
• Mu En asked Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan to join the Tang Sect and help restore its former glory, and they agreed.
• Mu En stabilized Bei Bei's Radiant Sacred Dragon bloodline, then instructed Wang Dong to help the Tang Sect, find Tang Ya, oppose the Sun Moon Empire, and eventually inherit his position.
• Mu En's nine Soul Rings appeared as golden light filled Sea God's Pavilion, and his body transformed into a white dragon that circled above Sea God Island.

After Mu En’s death, Wang Dong threw herself into training until Xuan Zi intervened, and she later reunited with Huo Yuhao before he left for a two-and-a-half-year exchange. At Maple Leaf City, the exchange between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire’s Royal Soul Engineering Academy began, and Jing Hongchen revealed a golden, winged sphere to transport the students.

• Wang Dong trained obsessively after Mu En’s death, but Xuan Zi confronted her and urged her to stop.

• Huo Yuhao carved numerous formation arrays into titanium gold and finished a dark golden ring within the time limit.
• Xuan Ziwen inspected the ring, followed Huo Yuhao's instructions to wear it and inject Soul Power, and watched liquid dark golden metal spread over his palm.

Huo Yuhao demonstrated a powerful ring-type Soul Tool, prompting Xuan Ziwen to beg to learn from him. After Huo Yuhao rejected his offer of money and equipment, they began negotiating an exchange of Soul Engineering knowledge, while watchers outside suspected the secretive meeting.
