Chapter Summaries

Su Yuan fused with the Ice Empress's Soul Bone as his bloodline power triggered his Martial Soul's evolution into the Frost Saint Dragon. After testing his new strength in the Undead Demiplane, he landed to dress while Wang Xian'er watched him with amusement.

• Su Yuan activated his bloodline trait, and the Ice Empress cooperated as his dragon blood absorbed the Soul Bone's energy while Wang Xian'er aided his transformation with life force.
• The Ice Empress transformed her essence into a blood-red Soul Ring, which settled over Su Yuan as he struggled to endure the surging powers within him.

• The Ice Empress told Su Yuan to put on clothes, and he spotted Wang Xian'er watching him as he dressed.

After absorbing the Ice Empress, Su Yuan gained an ultimate ice martial soul, powerful new talents, and strengthened soul skills, reaching rank forty-three. He realized his combat strength had grown enormously, leaving Wang Xian'er and the Ice Empress astonished by how unprecedented he was.

• Wang Xian'er asked Su Yuan what he had gained, and he excitedly described the Ice Empress's sacrifice.

• Su Yuan estimated that he was at least ten times stronger after his breakthrough and said he could now crush Dai Huabin without soul skills.
• Wang Xian'er and the Ice Empress exchanged a look, both realizing that no Soul Master like Su Yuan existed on the Douluo Continent.

Su Yuan tested his evolved Frost Saint Dragon martial soul against a ten-thousand-year Ice Bear in the Far North. He defeated it without killing it and concluded that his combat strength had reached the level of a high-ranking Soul Emperor.

• Su Yuan estimated that he had reached high-ranking Soul Emperor strength and could challenge most opponents below Soul Saint.

After defeating a ten-thousand-year Ice Bear, Su Yuan discussed his new strength with Wang Xian'er and the Ice Empress, then asked Wang Xian'er to take him back to Shrek so he would not miss the new term. Meanwhile, Shrek's Sea God Pavilion members gathered for a third meeting in one month to decide a matter that could affect the academy for decades.

• Su Yuan assessed that his strength could challenge Soul Saints who lacked a Martial Soul Avatar, while Profound Ice Dragon Soars could threaten even one using it.
• Wang Xian'er and the Ice Empress praised Su Yuan's extraordinary strength, then reminded him to save the frozen Ice Bear.
• Su Yuan thawed the Ice Bear, and Wang Xian'er healed it; after recognizing the Ice Empress, the bear accepted treatment and left when she told it to go.
• Su Yuan told Wang Xian'er he wanted to attend Shrek partly to recruit talent, revealing that he had discovered Xiao Xiao's twin martial souls and planned for her to leave Shrek with him.
• Wang Xian'er agreed to take Su Yuan back to Shrek, while Sea God Pavilion members convened to decide a matter that could determine the academy's stability for decades.

The Sea God Pavilion Elders negotiated how Shrek would pay Wang Xian'er to treat Mu En, balancing the academy’s internal rivalries against their shared wish to restore him. They settled on an enormous medical fee and a redistribution of departmental benefits, though Wang Xian'er’s willingness to treat Mu En remained uncertain.

• The Sea God Pavilion Elders debated how to divide the resources for Mu En’s treatment, with departments disputing who should contribute more.
• Xuan Zi backed the Soul Tool Department’s demands and agreed to let it recruit students, surprising Mu En and angering Yan Shaozhe.
• The Elders settled the allocation: departments contributing more would receive greater support, while those contributing less would surrender some benefits.
• Shrek agreed to offer Wang Xian'er three hundred-thousand-year limb soul bones, a hundred-thousand-year head soul bone, rare metals, soul tools, treasures, pills, fifty million Gold Soul Coins, and Mu En’s Dragon Core.
• The negotiated resources were worth over five hundred million Gold Soul Coins, but the Elders still did not know whether Wang Xian'er would agree to treat Mu En.

Mu En offered Wang Xian'er the Dragon Core to persuade her to bring Su Yuan to Shrek, while Su Yuan and Wang Xian'er settled the dispute with the Nether Duke and discussed the upcoming tournament. After losing the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao fled with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and stumbled upon an underground ice cavern containing an Ice Serpent's corpse.

• Mu En decided to use the Dragon Core as a bargaining chip to secure Wang Xian'er's help for Shrek.

• Su Yuan declined to join Shrek's tournament team but told Wang Xian'er he might shine if an opportunity arose.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm escaped with Huo Yuhao after Wang Xian'er took the Ice Empress, then revealed its failed plan to him.
• Huo Yuyao ran through the mountains, and his random teleport led him to an underground ice cavern where he found an Ice Serpent's corpse.

Huo Yuhao fused with the Yincha Cold Snake’s remnant soul, solidifying his second martial soul but undergoing unsettling physical changes he could not explain. Meanwhile, Su Yuan and Wang Xian'er returned to Shrek and entered the Sea God Pavilion, while Huo Yuhao arrived just before registration closed.

• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helped Huo Yuhao fuse with the Yincha Cold Snake’s remnant soul, giving his second martial soul a powerful ice attribute without providing a soul ring or soul bone.
• Huo Yuhao noticed that his appearance had grown delicate and feminine and that he had lost his usual vigor, but he was too embarrassed to ask the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about it.
• Su Yuan and Wang Xian'er returned to Shrek after the Ice Empress fell asleep to recover from her sacrifice.
• Huo Yuhao arrived at Shrek before registration closed, checked in, and crawled under the covers without answering Wang Dong.
• Wang Xian'er accepted Mu En’s invitation and brought Su Yuan into the Sea God Pavilion, where he observed the Golden Tree’s plain interior and felt its dense spiritual energy.

Wang Xian'er and Shrek agreed on generous compensation for her treatment of Mu En, with Su Yuan reviewing the offer and receiving three Level 8 Soul Tools chosen for him. The meeting ended with Wang Xian'er agreeing to begin treating Mu En the next day.

• Wang Xian'er entered the Sea God Pavilion and took the seat Shrek had prepared for her, while Su Yuan stood behind her.

• Mu En decided that Wang Xian'er would begin the treatment the following day.

• Wang Xian'er gave Su Yuan the Level Eight ice-attribute Dragon Spear and kept his other valuable items in her care before flying to the Inner Academy.
• Su Yuan decided to wait before giving Xiao Xiao her promised Soul Bone, then went back to his dorm and fell into an exhausted sleep.
• Xiao Xiao woke Su Yuan on the morning of the advancement assessment, helped him dress, and gave him two bird Soul Beast eggs for breakfast.
• Xiao Xiao and Su Yuan arrived at the Beast Fighting Zone, where Mu Jin warned them about Outer Academy dating and asked Su Yuan to surprise him during the assessment.

Su Yuan began the Promotion Assessment by choosing a thousand-year soul beast, shocking the second-year students when he revealed he was already a Soul Ancestor with a black fourth soul ring. He faced a Molten Armor Berserk Bear and ended the chapter standing firm after casually catching its powerful strike.

• Mu Jin asked Su Yuan to go first in Class One's Promotion Assessment, and Su Yuan agreed.
• Ning Tian greeted Su Yuan politely as he joined the front of Class One's orderly line.

The chapter ended with Xiao Xiao nervously telling Su Yuan that she was still too young in his dormitory.

• Su Yuan caught the Molten Armor Berserk Bear's attack, then slammed it into the ground until it passed out and earned a perfect score.
• Mu Jin praised Su Yuan, and Dai Huabin scored 135 points after defeating a thousand-year soul beast without risking injury.
• Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, Fu Mengyu, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao passed their assessments; Su Yuan wondered what second martial soul Huo Yuhao had obtained.
• Shrek expelled students who failed the promotion standards, while Ning Tian recruited more talent for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
• Xiao Xiao sat on Su Yuan's bed and nervously said, “Brother Yuan, I'm still too young...”

• Su Yuan explained that the Soul Bone was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Heaviness Right Arm Soul Bone suited to Xiao Xiao’s Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and that it granted two hundred-thousand-year Soul Skills.
• Xiao Xiao was overwhelmed by the gift and told Su Yuan that she was not too young anymore and was just right for him.

Xiao Xiao absorbed Su Yuan’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone over a week, breaking through to level thirty and gaining two soul skills. After Su Yuan cooked for her, she told him she wanted to marry him and would stay by his side, while resolving to preserve her independence and grow strong enough to help him.

• Su Yuan stopped Xiao Xiao from seducing him and urged her to begin absorbing the soul bone in his dorm room.

• After eating, Xiao Xiao told Su Yuan she wanted to marry him and remain by his side, while intending to maintain her independence and become someone who could help him.

Xiao Xiao moved into Su Yuan’s dormitory, and the two agreed to wait until after the core disciple selection tournament before seeking her third soul ring. The core disciples gathered at the Soul Fighting Arena, where Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi arrived to begin the selection.

• Xiao Xiao stayed overnight with Su Yuan, then moved into his dormitory the following day.
• Su Yuan offered to help Xiao Xiao find a top-tier soul beast for her third soul ring, but told her they had to finish the selection tournament first.

• Huo Yuhao joined the tournament as a second-year core disciple of the Soul Tool Department.
• Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi descended before the gathered students.

• Huo Yuhao used Golden Road to eliminate the students frozen by Su Yuan's dragon, ending the match.

After the selection, Su Yuan secured permission to take Xiao Xiao to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her third Soul Ring, despite the upcoming tournament preparations.

• A Soul Tool Department student arrived, and Ling Luochеn and Dai Yueheng followed, bringing both teams to fourteen members.
• The group gathered to introduce themselves.

Chen Zifeng’s team fought Dai Yueheng’s team, with Su Yuan using his ice dragon to keep Ling Luochеn from supporting her allies. Gong Yangmo’s buffs and Xixi’s attacks helped Chen Zifeng’s side hold its own against Dai Yueheng as the battle continued.

• Chen Zifeng and Dai Yueheng chose their teams, then agreed to begin fighting after discussing their tactics.
• Su Yuan offered to hold off Ling Luochеn, and Chen Zifeng welcomed the chance to free his other teammates to attack Dai Yueheng.

• Xuan Zi led the others off the field and left Dai Yueheng and Su Yuan alone on the Arena Stage.

Su Yuan fought Dai Yueheng in a team showdown, revealing overwhelming physical strength while concealing the full extent of his abilities. After Dai Yueheng finally used his White Tiger Demon God Transformation, Su Yuan pretended to lose and conceded so he would not be saddled with greater responsibilities.

• Su Yuan and Dai Yueheng released their martial souls, and Su Yuan chose to fight with his ice dragon scales and claws rather than use his ice dragon soul skills.
• Su Yuan's trait caused Dai Yueheng to forget several soul skills and a soul bone skill, and Su Yuan sent him flying with a punch despite being a Soul Ancestor facing a Soul Emperor.
