Chapter Summaries

Yang Xiong warned Ning Fengzhi that Tang San was likely connected to Clear Sky Sect, then questioned Crown Prince Xue Qinghe about his unmarried status during their first meeting. Tang San finalized a lucrative Hidden Weapons deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but failed to obtain Yang Xiong’s Rasengan, leaving Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo suspicious of his claims.

• Yang Xiong told Ning Fengzhi that Tang San had a Clear Sky Hammer as a second martial soul and was likely the son of Tang Hao, so Ning Fengzhi ordered the secret kept.
• Ning Fengzhi, Yang Xiong, and Ning Rongrong met Xue Qinghe, and Yang Xiong pressed the Crown Prince about finding a wife before Xue Qinghe left in a hurry.
• Tang San and Ning Fengzhi agreed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would produce five hundred sets of Hidden Weapons for five million Gold Soul Coins.
• Tang San asked Ning Fengzhi to teach him Yang Xiong's Rasengan, but Ning Fengzhi refused because he had promised not to share it.
• After Tang San left, Sword Douluo criticized his demands, and Ning Fengzhi questioned why Tang San claimed Bone Douluo had taught Yang Xiong the Rasengan.

Yang Xiong arranged for Qin Shuang to join the Shrek Team, where her strength impressed the students and Oscar began pursuing her. He encouraged Oscar to become stronger and convinced Ning Rongrong that the match could be good for Qin Shuang, though she worried both of them had been drawn into his plan.

• Sword Douluo appeared in Yang Xiong's room at night, and the next morning Yang Xiong arrived at training bruised and limping.
• Flender announced that the students had become the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Shrek Team and introduced Qin Shuang as a substitute member.
• Qin Shuang fought Zhu Zhuqing for more than ten minutes before losing, showing that her main weakness was a lack of combat experience.
• Yang Xiong urged Oscar to pursue Qin Shuang and grow stronger, promising to teach him Rasengan after he reached the Soul Ancestor realm.
• Ning Rongrong scolded Yang Xiong for scheming to bring Qin Shuang and Oscar together, but Yang Xiong said the arrangement might be best for them.

Tang San and Yang Xiong exchanged their Self-Created Soul Skill manuals, agreeing to restrict how their sects could pass them on. Yang Xiong began cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes with Ning Rongrong, who quickly made progress while he struggled.

• Qin Shuang earned the team's recognition, while the Shrek team grew distracted by attention from students at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• The Royal Fight Team increasingly exploited the Shrek team's weaknesses in their frequent Soul Duels, prompting Tang San to learn Heart Separation Control from Ning Rongrong.
• Tang San visited Yang Xiong and agreed to exchange the Rasengan for the Purple Demon Eyes under limits on sharing each technique.
• Yang Xiong warned Tang San that mastering the Rasengan required reaching Five Aperture Scattered Heart and that future improvements would not be included in the exchange.
• After Tang San left, Yang Xiong began teaching himself and Ning Rongrong the Purple Demon Eyes; Ning Rongrong sensed Purple Qi while Yang Xiong made no progress.

Yang Xiong reached Level 30 and helped Ning Rongrong absorb a Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring, which gave her a powerful External Soul Bone. He then traveled with Lin Gong to Sunset Forest to seek his own Third Soul Ring, revealing that he planned to hunt a rare beast that had chased him before.

• Yang Xiong reached Level 30 after nearly four months at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and decided to give Ning Rongrong the Man Faced Demon Spider as her Third Soul Ring.
• Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo worried about Ning Rongrong absorbing a soul ring above her limit, but Ning Rongrong trusted Yang Xiong and went ahead.
• Ning Rongrong endured the painful absorption and gained an External Soul Bone with eight poisonous spider legs.
• Yang Xiong contacted Lin Gong and set off for Sunset Forest to find his Third Soul Ring.
• Yang Xiong told Lin Gong he planned to hunt the rare soul beast that had chased him for a day, alarming Lin Gong because its age and attributes were unsuitable.

Yang Xiong hunted a powerful Silver Horn Tyrant Dragon for his Third Soul Ring and successfully absorbed its 4,300-year ring with the help of his Yin-Yang Meditation Method. Just as he discussed the result with Lin Gong, severe pain suddenly seized both his palms.

• Yang Xiong and Lin Gong found a Silver Horn Tyrant Dragon in a poisonous, miasma-filled area of Sunset Forest, and Lin Gong warned that its strength exceeded that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast.
• Lin Gong trapped the dragon with his Purple Emperor Bamboo, allowing Yang Xiong to kill it and reveal its purple soul ring.
• Yang Xiong began absorbing the 4,300-year soul ring, using the Yin-Yang Meditation Method to draw in and balance its violent energy.
• Yang Xiong successfully absorbed the ring, and the process opened some of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians without apparent side effects.
• Yang Xiong and Lin Gong discussed soul-ring age limits and Yu Xiaogang's theories before Yang Xiong suddenly felt intense pain in both palms.

Yang Xiong gained the Silver Horn Tyrant Dragon’s powerful External Soul Bone claws, which Lin Gong warned him to keep secret, and they fled after hearing a terrifying roar from an abyss in Sunset Forest. As they tried to leave, Chrysanthemum Douluo confronted Lin Gong, then Dugu Bo arrived and challenged him, leaving Yang Xiong caught between two formidable Titled Douluos.

• Yang Xiong absorbed the Silver Horn Tyrant Dragon’s paired External Soul Bone claws and discovered their defensive power and Exploding Dragon Claw skill.
• Lin Gong warned Yang Xiong that the dragon claws were too valuable to reveal and that the abyss might contain a soul beast at least 90,000 years old.
• Yang Xiong suggested reporting the abyss to the sect, but Lin Gong suspected he wanted to secure a powerful soul beast for a future soul ring.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared and taunted Lin Gong about refusing Spirit Hall’s invitation.
• Dugu Bo arrived and exchanged threats with Chrysanthemum Douluo, while Lin Gong grabbed Yang Xiong and fled.

After fleeing the clash between Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yang Xiong developed his new Soul Skill and experimented with combining Soul Ring energies. The next morning, he entered the first stage of the Purple Demon Eyes and caught up with Ning Rongrong in Soul Power, before an unexpected visitor appeared at training.

• Lin Gong told Yang Xiong how Chrysanthemum Douluo had killed their companion and left him and Meng Shu gravely injured, then warned Yang Xiong to keep his trump cards hidden.
• Yang Xiong returned to the dormitory, reached the peak of Rank 32, and studied his Tyrant Dragon's Fury Soul Skill and its armor-piercing effect.
• Yang Xiong infused Gold and Wood Attribute energies into his Rasengan, causing powerful repulsion and revealing the potential of combining multiple energies.
• Yang Xiong entered the Panoramic View realm of the Purple Demon Eyes and told Ning Rongrong he had reached level thirty-two.
• Yang Xiong joined Ning Rongrong and the others for training, where an unexpected person was present alongside Yu Xiaogang and Flender.

Liu Erlong joined the Shrek teachers and brutally tested the students, while Yang Xiong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before settling into gravity-based cultivation at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. A year later, the Shrek group remained at the academy, and Yang Xiong continued seeking a way to protect his family from the sect’s future disaster.

• Liu Erlong joined the Shrek staff and defeated all nine students in a brutal combat-training session.
• Yang Xiong revealed that he had reached Level 32, then returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Qin Shuang for a week-long holiday.
• Yang Xiong reunited with his family and worried that his limited strength and knowledge of Immortal Herbs would leave them vulnerable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s future destruction.
• Yang Xiong spent the next year cultivating in the Gravity Control Simulated Environment and eventually brought Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Qin Shuang to train there with him.
• Flender decided that the Shrek group would stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy rather than move to Liu Erlong’s Blue Tyrant Academy.
• The Shrek teachers and students continued their separate pursuits, while Liu Erlong pursued Yu Xiaogang and Qin Shuang grew close to Zhao Wuji through training.

After a year of training, Yang Xiong reached level thirty-eight and joined the Shrek Team for the Soul Master Competition, where he deliberately kept his abilities hidden. The team began with a swift win over Blue Tyrant Academy, and Yang Xiong watched the rival academies while considering whether to help his elder brother Yang Wei.

• Over the year, Yang Xiong rose to level thirty-eight as the Shrek members advanced and Yu Xiaogang and Flender confirmed the competition lineup, with Tang San leading the team's tactics.
• The Soul Master Competition opened in Heaven Dou City, and Yang Xiong noticed that Xiao Wu had entered despite the danger of exposing her identity.
• The Shrek Team drew Blue Tyrant Academy and defeated every opponent in half a minute while Yang Xiong stayed mostly in a defensive role.
• The Shrek Team continued winning, and Yang Xiong watched the Five Element Academy teams and saw his elder brother Yang Wei compete for Purple Star Academy.
• Yang Xiong wondered whether he should take a special interest in Yang Wei's future, since his brother had treated him well when they were young.

During the Soul Master Competition, Shrek faced the powerful Elephant Armor Academy Team, whose strength and defense overwhelmed Tang San’s initial tactics. Yang Xiong stopped Huyan Li’s attack on Ning Rongrong and injured him with his Bone Crushing Punch, leaving the melee ongoing.

• Tang San chose Zhu Zhuqing over Tai Long and ordered Shrek to retreat when the match against Elephant Armor Academy began.
• Tang San used Blue Silver Grass and Flying Mushroom Sausages to lift Shrek into the air, but the Elephant Armor members broke free of his control.
• Tang San led an attack on Huyan Li, but Huyan Li’s defense held while his teammates engaged Shrek’s other fighters.
• Ning Rongrong supported Shrek with her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as Huyan Li charged toward her.
• Yang Xiong blocked Huyan Li, overpowered him in a second clash, and struck him with Bone Crushing Punch, sending him flying and leaving him injured.

The Shrek Team defeated Elephant Armor Academy, but Tang San recognized that his Blue Silver Grass was vulnerable to strong bodies and targeted counters. As rival academies began exploiting that weakness, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang discussed different team-building approaches, while Yang Xiong and Ning Rongrong questioned the value of forcing elemental teams to include support Soul Masters.

• Tang San and Dai Mubai coordinated attacks that brought down four Elephant Armor Academy members, but Huyan Li revealed a powerful Head Soul Bone and joined Huyan Ba and Huyan Shan in using Death Suppression.
• Oscar restored the Shrek Team’s Soul Power with sausages, and the team defeated the remaining Elephant Armor Academy members after a prolonged fight.
• Tang San admitted to Yu Xiaogang that Blue Silver Grass could not reliably control physically powerful opponents, and Yu Xiaogang warned him that cultivating both his Martial Souls could cause his body to explode.
• Other academies began targeting Tang San with Tool and Fire Attribute Soul Masters, making Shrek’s matches harder even as the team continued winning.
• While watching Blazing Fire Academy face Skywater Academy, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang discussed extreme, balanced, and fusion approaches to team composition.
• Yang Xiong and Ning Rongrong privately disagreed with the idea that elemental teams should add support Soul Masters, since students needed to develop their own Martial Soul strengths.

Shrek faced Blazing Fire Academy’s fire-powered lineup, which burned away Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and overwhelmed the team with Huo Wu’s powerful attacks. As Huo Wu prepared a devastating final skill, Yang Xiong conceded the match, but Tang San refused to give up and Yang Xiong pushed Oscar and Ning Rongrong off the arena.

• Shrek entered its match against Blazing Fire Academy with both teams near the top of the standings, and Tang San and Yu Xiaogang prepared for a difficult fight.
• Huo Wushuang and his teammates launched a fierce attack, while their fire burned Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and Huo Wu’s Repelling Fire Ring scattered Shrek’s formation.
• Blazing Fire Academy’s attackers focused their strongest skills on Tang San, and Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Tai Long were injured while rushing to protect him.
• Huo Wu gathered the amplified power of her team’s support Soul Masters into her Fourth Soul Skill, Huo Wu Illuminating Sun, and warned Shrek to surrender.
• Yang Xiong secured Flender’s approval and conceded, but Tang San refused to accept defeat, so Yang Xiong shoved Oscar and Ning Rongrong off the arena.

Tang San and three teammates were badly injured when Blazing Fire Academy defeated Shrek, while Yang Xiong protected Ning Rongrong and Oscar and then conceded the match. After the team received treatment, Yang Xiong warned Flender against risking students for victory, and Tang San woke to learn Xiao Wu was recovering.

• Huo Wu unleashed Huo Wu Illuminating Sun, leaving Tang San and three teammates seriously injured, while Yang Xiong survived with only minor burns.
• Yang Xiong conceded the match, and Blazing Fire Academy was declared the winner; healers treated the injured Shrek students.
• Yang Xiong told Flender that the team should prioritize its safety, and Flender promised to speak with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
• Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo praised Yang Xiong for protecting Ning Rongrong and discussed his concealed strength; Sword Douluo hurried to visit her.
• Tang San woke that night, learned Xiao Wu's injuries were lighter than his, and asked Yu Xiaogang who had won the match.

Tang San’s refusal to surrender injured four Shrek members and triggered a dispute over team priorities and his judgment. With Tang San and the other injured fighters out for at least two matches, Shrek faced Flame Radiance Academy with an unbalanced lineup as Yu Xiaogang urged them to compete and revealed the championship reward.

• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang he had refused to surrender because Huo Wu’s team had hurt Xiao Wu, while Yu Xiaogang explained that four Shrek fighters were injured and Yang Xiong alone had endured the attack unhurt.

• Sword Douluo praised Yang Xiong for protecting Ning Rongrong during the match and reminded him to put Rongrong’s safety ahead of winning.
• Shrek drew Flame Radiance Academy while four main members were injured, and Yang Xiong warned that the remaining lineup lacked coordination and a Control System Soul Master.
• Yu Xiaogang rejected Yang Xiong’s suggestion to surrender and announced that the finals might be held in Spirit City, with three Top-Tier Soul Bones as the champion’s reward.

Shrek Academy lost to Flame Radiance Academy, then prepared to face Thunder Academy after Tang San and the others recovered. The chapter ended with Yang Xiong holding Yu Tianxin at bay while Thunder Academy’s lightning-based team pressed Shrek’s formation.

• Yu Xiaogang promised the Soul Master Competition’s three soul bones to the champions and said the team could distribute them according to performance.
• Flame Radiance Academy overwhelmed Shrek’s poorly coordinated lineup, and Yang Xiong defeated four opponents before jumping off the arena as Shrek suffered its second consecutive defeat.
• Flender conceded Shrek’s next match, leaving the team with ten wins and three losses before Tang San and the others returned from recovery.
• Thunder Academy brought four Soul Ancestors and countered Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass with lightning, forcing Shrek to reorganize its formation under pressure.
• Yang Xiong fought Thunder Academy captain Yu Tianxin evenly, while Thunder Academy’s other fighters pressed Shrek’s remaining combatants.

Shrek struggled against Thunder Academy until Yang Xiong revealed his Steel Tendons Iron Bones defense and protected Oscar and Ning Rongrong from a lightning attack. Tang San was trapped and shocked by Lei Dong’s net, but Yang Xiong freed him, and Tang San insisted he could continue fighting.

• Yu Tianxin used Dragon Transformation and Thunder Dragon Claw, but Yang Xiong blocked him with Bone Crushing Punch and held off two opponents.
• Yu Tianxin and another Soul Elder unleashed powerful lightning attacks, but Yang Xiong used Steel Tendons Iron Bones and emerged unharmed.

• Tang San thanked Yang Xiong and said he could keep fighting despite his injuries.

Tang San revealed his Clear Sky Hammer as the Shrek Team fought Thunder Academy in a brutal match. Shrek ended its losing streak with a narrow victory, but Tang San’s exposed martial soul left his future uncertain.

• Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to stall Thunder Academy, then struck Lei Dong with his Clear Sky Hammer, revealing his second martial soul to the crowd.
• Tai Long was eliminated, while Tang San and his teammates gradually wore down Thunder Academy; Oscar and Ning Rongrong left the arena after exhausting their soul power.
• Yu Tianxin injured himself against Yang Xiong’s Rasengan, while Lei Mie knocked Xiao Wu out and Tang San sent Lei Dong flying with his hammer.
• Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Yang Xiong outlasted the remaining opponents, and the referee declared the Shrek Team the winner after Yu Tianxin collapsed.
• Yang Xiong told Yu Tianxin to ask Yu Tianheng about his strength, then left the arena with the cheering Shrek Team.

After Shrek’s loss to Blazing Fire, Yang Xiong drew the other academies’ attention, then faced pressure from Dai Mubai and Ning Fengzhi about the Soul Master Competition. Ning Fengzhi revealed that the Upper Three Sects were beginning to cooperate against Martial Soul Hall, but Yang Xiong saw little chance of defeating its Golden Generation.

• Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Shui Bing'er discussed Yang Xiong’s strength and Shrek’s weaknesses after the battle.
• Xue Qinghe hosted a banquet where he courted Tang San and Dai Mubai while exchanging awkward pleasantries with Yang Xiong.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing asked Yang Xiong to help them defeat Star Luo Royal Academy, but Yang Xiong questioned Dai Mubai’s prospects and the circumstances behind his presence at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Ning Fengzhi told Yang Xiong that Martial Soul Hall’s Golden Generation had three Soul Kings and that its Pope, Bibi Dong, threatened the Upper Three Sects.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were cooperating, but Yang Xiong doubted they could defeat Martial Soul Hall’s team.

Yu Xiaogang reorganized Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s teams for the finals, placing Yang Xiong in an Agility System role despite his misgivings. The rebuilt Shrek Team defeated Purple Star Academy decisively, leaving rival academies alarmed by its strength and Huyan Zhen worried about Elephant Armor Academy’s chances.

• Yu Xiaogang proposed combining strong players from Heaven Dou First and Second Teams, and Yang Xiong agreed to serve as an Agility System Soul Master.
• Ning Fengzhi promised Yang Xiong protection and a Soul Bone if the sect won, while Yang Xiong warned that opposing Martial Soul Hall could leave the sect isolated.
