Chapter Summaries

Twelve-year-old Huang Yun, a lightning-fast Soul Elder, arrived in Suotuo City and targeted Flender’s shop for its Plate Crystal. After tricking Flender and vanishing with the stone, he also stole Flender’s storage ring, leaving Flender raging as he searched for him.

• Huang Yun flew to Suotuo City, eager to find the Plate Crystal before Tang San did.
• Huang Yun entered Flender’s shop, spotted the golden Plate Crystal, and agreed to buy it for one hundred Gold Soul Coins.
• Flender demanded a thousand Gold Soul Coins instead and swept up Huang Yun’s payment, so Huang Yun cursed him and vanished with the Plate Crystal.
• Flender chased Huang Yun but could not find him, then discovered his storage ring had also been stolen.
• Flender roared and searched the city, determined to catch Huang Yun and recover his ring.

After stealing Flender’s storage ring, Huang Yun escaped and turned the Plate Crystal into Dragon Whisker Needles. He registered at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena and learned his first opponent would be Dai Mubai.

• Flender searched Suotuo City for Huang Yun, then returned to his shop and vowed to keep the theft secret.
• Huang Yun counted the stolen coins and materials, extracted Dragon Whisker Needles from the Plate Crystal, and tested his control over them.
• Huang Yun visited the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, registered as The Flash, and entered an individual match.
• The arena matched Huang Yun with Level-Thirty-Seven Soul Elder Evil-Eyed White Tiger, whom he recognized as Dai Mubai.

Huang Yun, fighting as The Flash, faced Dai Mubai in the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena and effortlessly dodged his attacks. The fight left Dai Mubai’s confidence shaken as he struggled to land even one hit.

• Dai Mubai learned that his opponent was The Flash, a peak level-thirty-nine agility-attack Soul Elder making his debut, and confidently promised to finish the fight in three minutes.
• Huang Yun entered the arena to jeers from spectators who expected Dai Mubai to overwhelm the newcomer.
• Dai Mubai charged Huang Yun and unleashed repeated claw strikes, but Huang Yun casually dodged every attack while taunting him.
• Dai Mubai fired and detonated White Tiger Radiant Wave, but Huang Yun avoided the blast and appeared hovering above the arena.
• Dai Mubai leaped after Huang Yun but missed again, while Huang Yun landed unharmed and challenged him to hit him within three more attempts.

Huang Yun overwhelmed Dai Mubai with his speed and taunted him into a head-on clash, then unleashed his self-created Soul Skill, Raikiri. The skill pierced through Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Radiant Wave, leaving the clash’s outcome unresolved.

• Dai Mubai’s repeated White Tiger Radiant Waves failed to hit Huang Yun, who said Dai Mubai’s attacks were too slow.
• Huang Yun shattered Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Protective Barrier with a lightning-fast kick and sent him crashing into the arena wall, bleeding.
• Dai Mubai activated his Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and challenged Huang Yun to fight head-on.
• Huang Yun formed his self-created Soul Skill, Raikiri, while Dai Mubai charged and fired White Tiger Radiant Wave.
• Huang Yun rushed forward as blue lightning and Raikiri, piercing through the center of Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Radiant Wave.

Huang Yun defeated Dai Mubai in the Great Soul Arena and decided to pursue bounty-hunting work instead of further matches. He settled into the Rose Hotel and began meditating as the energy around him gathered and his breakthrough to Soul Ancestor seemed near.

• Huang Yun struck Dai Mubai with Raikiri, electrocuting him unconscious while holding back enough to spare his life, and the referee declared The Flash the winner.
• Healing Soul Masters confirmed Dai Mubai was alive but needed treatment for the lightning currents still running through his body.
• Huang Yun collected ten Gold Soul Coins and one point on his Iron Badge, then decided that commissioned bounty-hunting jobs suited him better than Soul Arena matches.
• Huang Yun checked into a superior room at the Rose Hotel, which he had chosen for its proximity to the underground black market.
• After bathing and eating, Huang Yun returned to his room to meditate, and lightning elemental energy grew dense as he sensed he might reach level forty that night.

After losing to the masked Soul Master known as The Flash, Dai Mubai returned to Shrek Academy and told Flender what had happened. Flender recognized The Flash as the boy who had stolen his ring, but could only hope to recruit him rather than confront him.

• Dai Mubai recovered from the lightning attack and walked back to Shrek Academy, still shaken by his defeat.
• Flender found Dai Mubai outside the administrative building and asked why he looked injured.
• Dai Mubai described The Flash as a twelve- or thirteen-year-old peak-level Soul Elder whose speed and white lightning had overwhelmed him.
• Flender realized The Flash was likely the masked boy who had stolen his storage ring earlier that day.
• Flender sent Dai Mubai to rest and privately considered recruiting the boy to Shrek Academy.

Huang Yun broke through to level forty and traveled to Thunder Canyon to hunt a flying lightning-element Soul Beast for his fourth Spirit Ring. He spotted a Thundercloud Lightning Falcon estimated to be twenty thousand to thirty thousand years old and began planning how to kill it.

• Huang Yun estimated the falcon was twenty thousand to thirty thousand years old and planned to use his speed to strike it.

Huang Yun absorbed a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring from a Thundercloud Lightning Falcon, reaching Level Forty-Three and gaining the Thundercloud Domain. While flying back toward Suotuo City, he spotted Zhu Zhuqing surrounded by Soul Masters in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Huang Yun noticed a bloodied girl in black leather being pursued by seven or eight Soul Masters in the Star Dou Great Forest and identified her as Zhu Zhuqing.

Huang Yun recognized that Zhu Zhuyun had staged a pursuit to force Zhu Zhuqing out of the Star Luo Empire, then intervened with his fourth soul skill, Thundercloud. He knocked out the attackers without killing them and left Zhu Zhuqing facing her shocked elder sister.

• Huang Yun saw that the attackers were steering Zhu Zhuqing rather than trying to kill her, and spotted Zhu Zhuyun watching from behind a tree.
• Huang Yun descended into the battle and spread his Thundercloud soul skill over the forest.
• Huang Yun revealed his four Spirit Rings and incapacitated the lead Soul Elder and the other attackers with precise strikes.
• Huang Yun gestured for Zhu Zhuqing to look toward Zhu Zhuyun, who emerged from behind the tree in shock.

Zhu Zhuqing considered her options, thanked Huang Yun for helping her, and learned that he planned to leave for Heaven Dou City the next morning.

• Huang Yun said he had beaten Dai Mubai in the Great Soul Arena and explained that Dai Mubai's Level-Thirty-Seven strength could not match his own.
• Huang Yun told Zhu Zhuqing he had advanced to Level-Forty-Three, while she was still a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, and advised her not to worry about the gap.
• Huang Yun agreed that Shrek Academy was Zhu Zhuqing's best option but said he would not join because he disliked restraint.

• Huang Yun revealed his face, and Zhu Zhuqing thanked him for helping her without seeking anything in return.
• Huang Yun and Zhu Zhuqing argued over who would sleep on the bed, then agreed to sleep separately with a curtain between them.

Huang Yun left Zhu Zhuqing behind and flew from Suotuo City to Sunset Forest, aiming to find the hidden Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He reached the forest and began searching for the spring, while Zhu Zhuqing resolved to go to Shrek Academy.

• Huang Yun and Zhu Zhuqing shared a quiet night at the Rose Hotel, separated by a sheet, and wondered whether they would meet again.
• Before dawn, Huang Yun left fifty Gold Soul Coins and provisions for Zhu Zhuqing, then flew toward Heaven Dou City without waking her.
• Zhu Zhuqing woke after his departure, put away the pouch, and decided it was time to go to Shrek Academy.
• After a day and night of travel, Huang Yun passed Heaven Dou City and headed directly for Sunset Forest.
• Huang Yun landed in the forest and began circling above the treetops to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Huang Yun found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in a hidden valley, but discovered Dugu Bo guarding it and waited for him to leave. After Dugu Bo flew away to investigate distant beast roars, Huang Yun approached the valley entrance.

• Huang Yun searched Sunset Forest and found a concealed valley surrounded by blazing and icy auras.
• Huang Yun spotted Dugu Bo near the valley and hid in a tree rather than risk a fight that could damage the Immortal Herbs.
• Huang Yun watched Dugu Bo patrol the valley for roughly four hours.
• Distant beast roars drew Dugu Bo away, and Huang Yun waited until his aura had moved far off.
• Huang Yun left his hiding place and silently reached the valley entrance.

Huang Yun entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and chose the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, then hid in a cave to consume it. As its energy began tempering his body, he started pursuing the Indestructible Vajra Body.

• Huang Yun found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and recognized several rare Immortal Herbs growing around its springs.
• Huang Yun dug up the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and teleported away before Dugu Bo could return.
• Huang Yun searched Sunset Forest for a safe hiding place and discovered an abandoned cave behind vines.
• Huang Yun concealed the cave entrance, sat down, and swallowed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
• Golden energy surged through Huang Yun's body, strengthening his skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs.

Huang Yun absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, reached level 48, and began cultivating the Indestructible Vajra Body. Dugu Bo discovered the herb had been stolen from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and began searching for the intruder.

• Huang Yun absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and broke through from level 43 to level 48.
• Huang Yun formed the beginnings of the Indestructible Vajra Body and planned to reach level 50 within three months.
• Dugu Bo returned to the valley and noticed that something was wrong with the herb garden.
• Dugu Bo found the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum missing and determined that the disturbed soil had been dug up recently.
• Dugu Bo searched the valley with his Mental Power but found no trace of the intruder.

Dugu Bo strengthened his defenses after deducing that the intruder had stolen the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, while Huang Yun hid in Heaven Dou City and absorbed its lingering power. After three months, Huang Yun reached level fifty and began considering his fifth Spirit Ring.

• Dugu Bo reasoned that the intruder could carry away only one herb, spread poisonous miasma around the valley, and waited beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Huang Yun remained unconcerned about Dugu Bo’s vigilance because he trusted his speed to escape.
• Huang Yun rented a secluded courtyard in Heaven Dou City and spent the next three months refining the chrysanthemum’s medicinal power.
• Huang Yun’s Soul Power reached level fifty, and his Indestructible Vajra Body advanced to minor mastery.
• Huang Yun left the courtyard and considered what to do about obtaining his fifth Spirit Ring.

After reaching level fifty, Huang Yun avoided Sunset Forest and Dugu Bo, choosing the Thunderclap Mountain Range to hunt for his fifth Spirit Ring. He arrived at the stormy mountains determined to find a Thunder Shadow Eagle.

• Huang Yun considered returning to Sunset Forest for a Spirit Ring but decided Dugu Bo’s vigilance made it too dangerous.
• Huang Yun chose the Thunderclap Mountain Range, where lightning-attributed Soul Beasts were plentiful and well preserved.
• Huang Yun selected the rare Thunder Shadow Eagle as his target because its explosive speed suited his fighting style.
• Huang Yun packed his gear and flew northeast from Heaven Dou City to the Thunderclap Mountain Range.
• Huang Yun landed on a ridge, sensed the dense lightning energy, and resolved to find a Thunder Shadow Eagle.

Huang Yun searched the Thunderclap Mountain Range for a Thunder Shadow Eagle and found a flock of three in a thundercloud-filled rift. He lured the largest eagle away, killed it, and began absorbing its twenty-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

• Huang Yun flew deeper into the Thunderclap Mountain Range, scanning for Thunder Shadow Eagles as the lightning-element energy grew denser.
• Huang Yun spotted three Thunder Shadow Eagles circling in the thunderclouds above a deep rift and decided to separate one from the flock.
• Huang Yun hurled a lightning sphere into the clouds, drawing the largest Thunder Shadow Eagle after him while its two companions followed behind.
• Huang Yun used Teleportation to evade the eagle’s charge, then combined Lightning, Clones, and Raikiri to kill it with strikes to its neck.
• Huang Yun carried the eagle’s corpse to a stone platform, examined its twenty-thousand-year Spirit Ring, and began absorbing it.

Huang Yun absorbed the Thunder Shadow Eagle’s Spirit Ring, reached level fifty-two, and gained the Fifth Soul Skill Thunder Shadow Instant Kill. After assessing his improved abilities, he flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to pursue the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, while members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan arrived at the eagle’s former territory.

• Huang Yun absorbed the Thunder Shadow Eagle’s Spirit Ring, advanced to level fifty-two, and gained Thunder Shadow Instant Kill.
• Huang Yun found that his existing Soul Skills had grown stronger and confirmed that the Thunder Shadow Eagle had no Spirit Bone.
• Huang Yun judged his speed and physical strength sufficient to evade Dugu Bo and considered using Immortal Herbs to earn Dugu Bo’s favor and address his and Dugu Yan’s backlash poison.
• Huang Yun decided to seek the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• A party from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan inspected the site, remarked on the Thunder Shadow Eagle’s death, and left to report the loss.
