Chapter Summaries

Li Ming wagered with Di Tian that they could raise their Fortune by ten percent within five years, then obtained Di Tian’s blood for research. After reuniting with Xiao Wu at Blue Tyrant Academy, Li Ming caught up with her while Tang San and the Shrek group watched uneasily.

• Li Ming and Di Tian agreed to a five-year wager: Li Ming would gain Star Dou Great Forest’s full cooperation if he won, but would remain there forever if he lost.
• Li Ming asked the Auspicious Beast to collect research samples from Di Tian and gave her ten thousand Dream Coupons.
• Li Ming received Di Tian’s blood sample through the Space Station and had Fate AI begin researching it.
• After class, Li Ming reunited with Xiao Wu, who excitedly embraced him and explained how the Shrek group had ended up at Blue Tyrant Academy.
• Tang San told the Shrek group that Li Ming had once been Level 13, and Dai Mubai offered to teach him a lesson.

Dai Mubai tried to belittle Li Ming and challenge him to a spar, while Li Ming calmly accepted. Nearby, Yu Xiaogang dismissed Li Ming’s prospects as a spirit master, then learned from Liu Erlong that Li Ming had already obtained a second spirit ring.

• Dai Mubai approached Xiao Wu and Li Ming with the Shrek group, introduced himself, and needled Li Ming about their academy’s merger and his soul power.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong objected when Dai Mubai mocked Li Ming, so Dai Mubai proposed a spar and taunted Li Ming into accepting.
• Xiao Wu and the others cleared space as Li Ming agreed to spar with Dai Mubai, while Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender watched.
• Liu Erlong told Yu Xiaogang that she had taken Li Ming to the Sunset Forest to hunt his second spirit ring, surprising him that Li Ming had reached Level 20 in less than a year.
• Yu Xiaogang dismissed Level 20 as insignificant beside Tang San’s level.

Before school began, Li Ming had reached level 20 and acquired a nightmare-inducing soul skill, but he revealed far greater strength when Dai Mubai challenged him. Li Ming forced Dai Mubai back and morally pressured him into honoring the sparring rules, leaving Dai Mubai enduring the beating as the Shrek observers watched.

• Liu Erlong explained that Li Ming had reached level 20 before school and gained a Nightmare Beast soul skill that could draw enemies into nightmares.
• Dai Mubai, a level 38 soul master, challenged Li Ming and dismissed him as weak while agreeing to spar under a level 20 restriction.
• Li Ming tested Dai Mubai with an opening strike, then unleashed a series of increasingly powerful blade attacks that drove him backward and wounded his tiger claws.
• Dai Mubai used White Tiger Barrier, but Li Ming shattered it with several more blows.
• Dai Mubai tried to activate his third soul skill and claim he would use his true strength, but Li Ming accused him of breaking his promise, forcing him to keep fighting without it.
• Li Ming continued practicing Thirty-Six Swift Blades on Dai Mubai while holding back, and Flender watched in frustration as Dai Mubai stubbornly endured.

Li Ming defeated Dai Mubai with a lightning-fast Self-Created Soul Skill, astonishing the Shrek teachers and students. After Li Ming politely refused Yu Xiaogang’s implied offer to take him as a disciple, Dai Mubai demanded a rematch.

• Li Ming's thirty-sixth strike wounded Dai Mubai and sent him flying, revealing the speed of his Self-Created Soul Skill.
• Flender, Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San reacted with shock as they recognized Li Ming's extraordinary blade technique.
• Ma Hongjun confronted Li Ming, but Zhao Wuji stopped him while Oscar and Shao Xin treated Dai Mubai's injuries.
• Li Ming told Flender that he had created the skill using Purple Heaven City's Personal Cultivation Assistant, and Yu Xiaogang praised his progress.
• When Liu Erlong recalled that Li Ming had once wanted Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, Li Ming said he already considered himself a disciple of the Purple Heaven City Lord, politely rejecting Yu Xiaogang.
• Dai Mubai emerged bandaged and challenged Li Ming to fight him again, insisting on a real battle.

Li Ming defeated Dai Mubai again, revealing his Soul Elder rank and using a Nightmare Soul Skill to trap Dai Mubai in a horrifying Dream before knocking him out of it. The Shrek Academy members grew wary of Li Ming, while Liu Erlong rebuked Flender for probing into his spiritual power.

• Li Ming revealed his Space Station Martial Soul and disguised Soul Rings, showing that he had reached Soul Elder rank.
• Li Ming used Nightmare to trap Dai Mubai in a Dream where he saw Tang San and the rest of Shrek Academy dead.
• Li Ming broke the Dream with a punch and told Dai Mubai that he had lost; Dai Mubai left in humiliation.
• The Shrek Academy members viewed Li Ming with new wariness, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were impressed by his strength.
• Flender asked how Li Ming's spiritual power was so strong, and Liu Erlong defended Li Ming's privacy.

Li Ming raised newly hatched Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and fed them artificial blood cultivated from Di Tian’s cells to test whether it could accelerate their growth. The experiment showed that the cells produced more powerful blood after exposure to the forest’s energy, suggesting they could cultivate even after being separated from Di Tian.

• Li Ming sold Flender and Yu Xiaogang Tang San’s location for ten thousand Dream Coupons, and the City Lord’s Mansion transmitted the information to them.
• Li Ming used his Space Station Martial Soul to travel to a secluded valley in the Star Dou Great Forest, where he raised Soul Beast eggs from the Space Soul Beast Project.
• More than half the eggs hatched, and Li Ming found that the newborn Soul Beasts already had the strength of ten-year Soul Beasts.
• Li Ming fed the newborns artificial blood cultivated from Di Tian’s hematopoietic stem cells, but they showed no immediate reaction.
• Little Three-Eyed Golden Lion reported that the stem cells became more active in the Star Dou Great Forest and produced blood with greater power and Soul Power, supporting Xiao Yun’s theory that they could absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

Li Ming learned that Di Tian’s cells absorbed Soul Power far more efficiently than ordinary Soul Beasts and began planning to use them to create artificial organs, though obtaining the needed cells would require a dangerous approach. After seeing Di Tian’s artificial blood rapidly transform the Space Soul Beasts, Li Ming encountered the Shrek Seven Monsters and heard that Tang San had stayed with Dugu Bo, leaving their tournament team short a member.

• Xiao Yun told Li Ming that Di Tian’s hematopoietic cells enhanced Soul Power significantly more than the control samples, and Li Ming imagined creating artificial organs to produce Soul Power.
• Li Ming realized he needed more of Di Tian’s cells to create organs and considered using something Di Tian cared about to persuade him.
• Li Ming saw that the Space Soul Beasts had grown after being fed Di Tian’s artificial blood and gave them another meal.
• Five days later, Li Ming met the dejected Shrek Seven Monsters outside the academy and learned that Tang San had stayed with Dugu Bo after Flender’s group found the Medicinal Garden.
• Xiao Wu asked Li Ming to temporarily fill Tang San’s place on their tournament team.

Li Ming showed Di Tian that his Space Soul Beasts had grown rapidly and that one snake had shown signs of bloodline awakening after space cultivation and exposure to Di Tian’s True Dragon Blood. Di Tian dismissed the discovery, leaving Li Ming’s attempt to persuade him unresolved.

• Dai Mubai objected to Li Ming joining the group, but Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing supported him, and Li Ming declined the invitation before leaving.
• Li Ming returned to his breeding base and found that his Space Soul Beasts had grown to adult size and gained strength within five days.
• Li Ming learned from Fate AI that the snake-type Soul Beast had an eighteen percent chance of awakening its bloodline, likely due to both space cultivation and Di Tian’s blood.
• Li Ming invited Di Tian and the Auspicious Beast to the City Lord’s Mansion, where they joined him and ate hot pot.
• Li Ming showed Di Tian the Soul Beasts and claimed they had awakened some bloodline power, but Di Tian questioned why the discovery mattered.

Li Ming challenged Di Tian’s belief that bloodline awakenings could meaningfully increase Star Dou Forest’s Fortune, claiming he could produce thousands of newly awakened Soul Beasts. Di Tian verified the beasts but could not reproduce their awakening with his own blood, and the chapter ended with Li Ming demanding payment for producing them.

• Li Ming claimed he could create thousands of Soul Beasts with signs of Bloodline Awakening, but Di Tian dismissed the possibility because the God Realm suppressed such awakenings.
• Li Ming sent the newly born Soul Beasts to Star Dou Forest, where Di Tian used Spatial Guidance to bring them into the Life Forbidden Zone and confirmed their bloodlines had begun awakening soon after birth.
• Di Tian noticed his blood on the Soul Beasts and tested it on an ordinary Soul Beast, but feeding it his blood caused no Bloodline Awakening.
• Di Tian told Li Ming that producing tens of thousands of such Soul Beasts would win the wager because they could increase Star Dou Forest’s future strength and Fortune.
• Li Ming asked what price Di Tian would pay for the Soul Beasts, and Di Tian was astonished that he expected payment beyond their wager.

Li Ming negotiated a price from Di Tian for providing Soul Beasts with signs of Bloodline Awakening, demanding supplies and blood samples as well as small pieces of Di Tian’s organs. After teaching the Auspicious Beast to collect samples from an illusion of Di Tian, Li Ming received two visitors in Dream Space and asked if they were Da Ming and Er Ming.

• Li Ming refused to provide the Star Dou Forest with awakened Soul Beasts for free, and Di Tian agreed to his demands after resisting.
• Li Ming required the Star Dou Forest to gather herbs and metals and provide blood from Soul Beasts with awakened or unusual bloodlines.
• Li Ming demanded small samples from Di Tian’s internal organs, and Di Tian agreed after Li Ming sealed his power and pressured him.
• Li Ming taught the Auspicious Beast to collect samples from an illusion of Di Tian in Dream Space.
• Several days later, Da Ming and Er Ming visited Li Ming in Dream Space, and he asked whether they were the two men.

Da Ming and Er Ming joined Purple Heaven City and reunited with Xiao Wu after taking on a mining assignment. Meanwhile, Li Ming learned that a heart grown from Di Tian’s cells had unusual properties and less Soul Power conversion than expected.

• Da Ming and Er Ming entered the Life Forbidden Zone, submitted to Di Tian, and were sent to obey Li Ming.
• Li Ming recruited the two beasts, gave them a map of mineral veins to excavate, and assigned them twelve-hour workdays.
• Da Ming and Er Ming searched Purple Heaven City and found Xiao Wu after her Arena training.
• Xiao Wu reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming and questioned why they had pledged allegiance to the city lord and received such demanding work.
• Li Ming inspected the heart grown from Di Tian’s cardiac muscle cells and learned that it converted less Soul Power than expected, contained little dark energy, and held unusual substances.

Li Ming learned that the artificial heart made from Di Tian’s cells produced far less Soul Power than expected, so he planned to test a full-sized replica and study Soul Cores. He also expanded his research plans to include Da Ming and Er Ming, Immortal Herbs, and the growing Space Soul Beast Project.

• Xiao Yun and Fate AI explained that the artificial heart’s small size and the absence of a Soul Core might account for its disappointing output, and Li Ming decided to test a full-sized heart first.
• Li Ming saw Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu together on a screen, then added the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to his planned research subjects.
• Li Ming inspected the Immortal Herb compartment, where Fate AI had matched soil and growing conditions to the herbs, and considered using Di Tian’s blood and cell experiments to accelerate their growth.
• Li Ming visited the Space Soul Beast compartment and reviewed the eggs being produced for experiments into bloodline awakening and the effects of blood samples from different Soul Beasts.

Li Ming and Fate AI began the Large-Scale Heart Construction Project, assembling a massive Artificial Heart from Di Tian’s sample. The finished heart generated an Energy Tide, showing that it could rapidly accumulate Soul Power.

• Li Ming arrived on a cleared uninhabited island with Fate AI and dozens of Space Station Martial Souls.
• Fate AI began the project, with the Space Stations cultivating separate sections of the enormous heart.
• The Space Stations used Scorching Beams to wound matching heart sections, which healed and fused together.
• After the Space Stations completed the final assembly, the Artificial Heart began beating and shook the island and sea.
• Li Ming recognized the resulting Energy Tide as evidence that the heart was gathering Soul Power at a high rate.

Li Ming confirmed that his enormous experimental Di Tian Heart could generate energy beyond that of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and began investigating the rare Heartblood it produced. When the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King approached the island, Li Ming escaped to Heaven Dou City, leaving the heart behind as the creature headed straight for it.

• Li Ming learned that the Di Tian Heart had surpassed an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in energy output, but it was too large to produce in batches.
• Li Ming sent a Space Station into the heart and ordered Fate AI to scan the golden liquid he had named Heartblood.
• Fate AI warned Li Ming that a powerful Soul Beast was rapidly approaching the island, and Li Ming suspected it was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
• Li Ming transferred to his home in Heaven Dou City, leaving the experimental heart behind as the Demonic Whale King moved directly toward the island.
• Li Ming asked whether a Pulsed Laser could strike the creature, but Xiao Yun said seawater prevented the Pulse Beams from harming it underwater.

Li Ming used his space-based weapon to test his improved pulse beam against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but the attack barely wounded the demigod beast. He then destroyed Di Tian’s heart before the Whale King could claim it, leaving the enraged creature staring at the space station.

• Li Ming suspected the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had sensed Di Tian’s heart and collected as much golden heartblood as he could while preparing his weapon.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King reached the island in human form and approached the heart, drawn by its scent.
• Li Ming fired the Thousand-Beam Pulsed Scorching Beam, which pierced the Whale King’s forehead but caused only a minor wound.
• Li Ming fired a pulse beam from inside Di Tian’s heart, tearing it apart and preventing it from repairing itself.
• Li Ming detonated the Space Station Martial Soul, further destroying the heart as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King glared at the space station.

Li Ming watched the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King devour the remains of the artificial Di Tian Heart, then recovered the whale’s blood for Fate AI to study. The research revealed that the whale’s blood could devour nourishment and produce Soul Power, giving Li Ming a potential path to create Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

• Li Ming saw a white Soul Ring briefly form around the Di Tian Heart before it collapsed, and concluded that Soul Power alone could not create one.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King ate the remaining Di Tian Heart tissue and left the island, while Li Ming decided the bloodline boost would be minor.
• Li Ming sent the collected Di Tian heartblood to Fate AI and ordered Xiao Yun to search the island for the whale’s blood.
• Li Ming used Fate AI and dozens of Space Stations to locate and analyze a blood sample after an exhaustive search lasting a day and night.
• Fate AI found that the blood retained the whale’s Devouring Power, consumed Di Tian Bloodline, and produced Soul Power from nourishment.
• Li Ming realized that Whale-Devouring Cells could accumulate Soul Power faster than Di Tian’s tissues and might help him obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Li Ming built a secret factory in Sunset Forest to produce Heartblood from his second Artificial Di Tian Heart, while Fate AI discovered the Heartblood could purify bloodlines and strengthen Soul Beasts. With the factory complete, Li Ming prepared to contact the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and trade for cell samples.

• Li Ming decided to trade Di Tian-Brand Heartblood for Whale-Devouring Cell samples because he could not challenge the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King by force.
• Li Ming tasked Zhu Qing and the Red Tiger Mercenary Group with building a secret factory in Sunset Forest, promising a bonus for completing it quickly.
• Li Ming transported materials to Sunset Forest, where the Red Tiger Mercenary Group finished the factory and assembled the second artificial heart.
• Several Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts approached the factory, so Li Ming sent Space Stations to drive them away without killing them.
• Fate AI found that Di Tian Heartblood could purify the bloodlines of all Soul Beasts and gradually awaken the Ancient Bloodline of Space Soul Beasts.
• Li Ming looked at the completed factory and decided it was time to contact the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

Li Ming used Fate AI to target the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with Nightmare, but the whale rejected the dream invitation. He then sent the Space Station into the deep sea and released Di Tian's Heartblood as bait, waiting for the whale to come.

• Fate AI followed Li Ming's fate line and helped him use Nightmare on the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but the whale refused to enter the dream.
• After hours of failed attempts, Little Three-Eyed Golden Lion explained that the whale was ignoring the invitation and could be located by following Li Ming's Fate Line.
• Li Ming ordered Fate AI to locate the whale and prepared to lure him out instead of continuing to send dream invitations.
• The next day, Li Ming sent the Space Station deep underwater, where it descended to fifteen thousand meters and reached its limit before finding the whale.
• Li Ming released a drop of Di Tian's Heartblood into the sea and waited for its scent to draw the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King toward the bait.

Li Ming lured the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King into a Dream Space and offered him Heartblood in exchange for parts of his body. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wanted the blood but balked when Li Ming demanded his organs, leaving their deal unresolved.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King swallowed the diluted Heartblood bait and pursued Li Ming's Space Station, hoping to find its owner.
• Li Ming lured the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to the surface, taunted him over the loudspeaker, and waited for him to connect to the Dream Space.
• Li Ming used the Nightmare Soul Skill with Fate AI's cooperation to bring the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King into his Dream Space.
• Li Ming offered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Heartblood that he claimed could awaken his Ancient Bloodline.
• When the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King demanded the blood without offering anything, Li Ming threatened to dismiss him and demanded a portion of his body in exchange.

Li Ming traded Heartblood with the Demonic Whale King for organ samples, then had Fate AI study the tissues. The research identified Devouring Power in the whale’s stomach and revealed mysterious crystals inside its cells.

• Li Ming negotiated a deal with the Demonic Whale King, agreeing to trade three bottles of Heartblood for organ samples.
• Li Ming traded the Heartblood for the samples through a Space Station, testing each item before continuing; the Demonic Whale King later scrapped the station.
• Li Ming had Fate AI research the samples, which showed that the Demonic Whale King’s cells held water, lightning, and devouring energies, with Devouring Power concentrated in the stomach.
• Fate AI reported that its team was multiplying stomach cells to develop an Artificial Whale Stomach that could test whether Devouring Power rapidly generated Soul Power.
• Fate AI showed Li Ming crystals scattered inside the Demonic Whale King’s cells, and he examined them in confusion.
