Chapter Summaries

Su Miu discovered a strange blue-haired woman named Tang Shan in a recording and decided to avoid her and Huo Yuhao. As the Soul Master Tournament began, he watched the teams gather and listened to Electrolux explain that a mage’s strength depended on finding a path beyond prescribed rules.

• Su Miu and Wang Dong watched a recording of Huo Yuhao with Tang Shan, and Su Miu’s strange thoughts caused the glutinous rice to turn black.
• Su Miu warned Wang Dong to stay away from Huo Yuhao and Tang Shan, then watched the tournament crowds with his companions.
• Jing Hongchen nervously assessed the powerful women near him and activated his defensive Soul Tools.
• The Soul Master Tournament began, and Xiao Hongchen boasted that the Sun Moon Team would win before retreating to a team-focused explanation when Meng Hongchen challenged him.
• Su Miu brought his companions to Electrolux’s lesson, where Electrolux taught them that true magical mastery required finding a personal path beyond prescribed rules.

Electrolux taught Su Miu and his companions that mastering magic depended on controlling it rather than relying on cultivation, equipment, or innate talents. Su Miu received Nether Fiend for Bai Xiuxiu to refine, and later cultivated to Intermediate Level 3 while gaining another contract slot.

• Electrolux explained that true magical strength came from controlling magic instead of being bound by fixed casting patterns, and Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Bi Ji, and Su Miu learned from his lesson.
• Su Miu thanked Electrolux for correcting his approach, and Electrolux praised Su Miu for staying true to himself despite his powerful talent.
• After Ling Ling persuaded her older sister, Leng Qing obtained Nether Fiend as Su Miu's reward for capturing the Blue-Robed Deacon alive.
• Su Miu gave Nether Fiend to Bai Xiuxiu, who refined it and reached three hundred and fifty thousand years of cultivation, drawing the God of Darkness's attention.
• Su Miu cultivated in seclusion, broke through to Intermediate Level 3, gained another contract slot, and often encountered Jing Hongchen's granddaughter when he went out.

Su Miu traded a piece of 10,000-Year Profound Ice Marrow to Meng Hongchen for several Level 8 protective Soul Tools, then learned she had gained a great deal from it. Meng Hongchen returned to his room and insisted on exchanging her Level 9 Red Dust Protection for the treasure, while Xiao Hongchen mistakenly feared his sister was in danger.

• Meng Hongchen visited Su Miu and offered him several Level 8 protective Soul Tools in exchange for his 10,000-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Su Miu traded the marrow for two Soul Tools that resisted mental attacks and two defensive Soul Tools, then walked around Star Luo City with Meng Hongchen.
• Xiao Hongchen saw them return to the hotel together and worried that Su Miu was pursuing his sister.
• Meng Hongchen refined some of the marrow, found that it improved her Soul Power and Martial Soul, and went to Su Miu's room at two in the morning to return it.
• Su Miu refused to take back the marrow, so Meng Hongchen gave him her Level 9 Soul Tool, Red Dust Protection, and hurried away to seek more Soul Tools from her grandfather.

Su Miu received powerful Level 9 Soul Tools from Meng Hongchen and traded an ice spirit seed for more equipment, while Meng grew stronger. On Blue Star, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Xu Zhaoting, and Su Miu gathered at Pearl Academy, where Mo Fan proposed teaming up to seize the academy’s resources.

• Meng Hongchen asked Jing Hongchen for Soul Tools for Su Miu, and he gave Su Miu a Frost-Ice Spear and a Level 9 shield.

• Mo Fan summoned Old Wolf, whose Flying Sand and Rolling Stones eliminated over a dozen mages before he continued taking down the crowd.
• Mu Ningxue protected Old Wolf with Ice Spikes, used Frosted Ice Domain and Wind Disk to disrupt the opposing mages, then evaded their attacks by riding Old Wolf as Mo Fan's elimination count reached ninety.

After dividing their rewards, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue arranged to enter the Three-Step Tower with Su Miu’s help.

• Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue began cultivating under the third floor’s pressure while Su Miu reached the fourth floor and summoned his companions to cultivate, draining the tower’s elemental concentration.

Su Miu broke through to the fourth realm of spiritual power in the Three-Step Tower, then received a makeup exam assignment to serve on Magic City’s coastal defense line. Before leaving, he arranged magic awakenings for Little Angel and Zi JI, said goodbye to Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Ding Yumian, and prepared for the journey.

• Su Miu summoned Wang Dong, and she eagerly joined him after hearing she could fight instead of forge.
• Su Miu and Wang Dong summoned their beasts and used lightning and blue silver grass to attack the Azure-Scaled Sea Monsters.

Su Miu and Wang Dong helped defend H District against sea monsters, earning military merit and eyeing a Water Element Soul Seed. When a larger tide arrived, their summoned and contract beasts held four sections of the coastline, but Commander Level enemies began advancing and the other defenses came under pressure.

• Wang Dong and Su Miu cleared sea monsters along the coast with Blue Silver Grass, lightning, the Water Princess, and the Behemoth Beast.
• Captain Li thanked Su Miu and Wang Dong, gave them military merit trackers, and explained the rewards they could exchange their points for.
• Su Miu and Wang Dong discovered a Water Element Soul Seed for sale, then waited until a Yellow Alert announced another sea monster tide on the fourth day.
• Eight Commander Level demon beasts led the attack as Guard Mages and Super Level mages took their positions, and Su Miu summoned the Snow Empress to freeze waves of enemies.
• Wang Dong brought out the Ice Empress under the pretense of a contract summon, and the two Empresses joined their powers to freeze sea monsters across three areas.
• Su Miu and Wang Dong maintained four defensive areas, but Warrior Level demon beasts climbed the walls elsewhere and the enemy's Lesser Commanders began to move.

Su Miu and the Snow Empress defeated two Azure-Scaled Sea Monster commanders during a Yellow Alert, helping drive the monsters back and earning military merit. Afterward, Su Miu recruited Di Qiu'er, Bai Xiuxiu, Bi Ji, and Zi JI to join his squad for future coastal battles.

• Su Miu gave the Snow Empress Frostmourne, and she used the Ice Empress’s Extreme Cold Domain to kill a Lesser Commander Azure-Scaled Sea Monster King.
• A Grand Commander Azure-Scaled Sea Monster charged the Snow Empress, but she froze its arm, and Su Miu struck it with fivefold Mystic Lightning before she killed it with Frostmourne.
• The remaining Commander Level sea monsters and two Grand Commanders fled, ending the Yellow Alert, though several Guard Mages had died.
• Su Miu collected Essence Remnants and remnant souls, received a commemorative banner and five hundred thousand military merit points, while Wang Dong earned enough points for a greater spirit seed.
• Su Miu decided to bring Di Qiu'er, Bai Xiuxiu, Bi Ji, and Zi JI into his squad, and used his Seven-Star Elite Hunter Qualification Certificate to persuade the captain to accept them.
• As the women joined the squad by the sea, Bai Xiuxiu remembered her destroyed homeland, and Su Miu wished Ling Ling were there to help them navigate.

Su Miu and his team repelled two attacks by the White-Scaled Demons, including a massive assault led by four commanders, and earned substantial military merit for defending the coast. After declining recruitment offers, Su Miu found that he was still 480,000 points short of buying the supreme water element soul seed.

• On the sixth day after arriving from Magic City, Su Miu and his team swiftly wiped out roughly five hundred White-Scaled Demons led by a Lesser Commander.
• Early on the seventh day, around five thousand White-Scaled Demons attacked again, backed by four Commander Level sea monsters, while the coastal defenses fought back.
• Su Miu's team killed one commander and used their combined water-element powers to counter the remaining commanders' tsunami, forcing them to retreat.

• Su Miu checked the shop and saw that he was 480,000 military merit points short of purchasing the supreme water element soul seed.

Su Miu extended his exam period so he could keep earning military merits for a supreme water soul seed, while Ling Ling led Mo Fan, Xu Zhaoting, and Mu Ningxue on demon-hunting commissions. The chapter ended with Su Miu and his squad swiftly defeating a commander-level sea monster alongside the visiting hunters.

• Su Miu asked Dean Xiao to extend his exam so he could earn the military merits needed to buy a Star River Vein, and Dean Xiao granted him a month.
• Su Miu strengthened his star seeds while patrolling the coast, then killed a passing school of Stinking Fish Demons but earned no military merits because they were not attacking the coastline.
• Su Miu helped repel an attacking horde of Black-Shelled Hermit Crabs, and after a month he had earned 1.62 million military merits and asked Dean Xiao for another extension.

• After Wang Dong reported that she had condensed her soul core, Su Miu bought a yacht and took the group out to sea, where Bai Xiuxiu swam freely.

Su Miu and his companions explored the shallow sea, killing demon beasts and collecting water treasures before returning to land with valuable gains. He had eleven commander-level spirit essences and needed thirty-one more to unlock his next summoning slot, but worried that hunting so many commanders might attract a Ruler.

• Su Miu captured a giant octopus with spatial power, and the group cooked and ate it aboard the yacht.
• Bai Xiuxiu led Su Miu, Wang Dong, and Di Qiu'er to two demon beasts fighting over a Water Spirit Flower, and they killed them and gathered more seabed treasures.

• The group returned to the yacht with twenty-three Water Element Spirit Seed Fragments, five water-element natural treasures, and one water element spirit seed.
• The Snow Empress killed a commander-level demon beast blocking their return, and the group reached land safely.
• Su Miu counted eleven commander-level spirit essences and realized he needed thirty-one more for Sixth-Level Intermediate Level Summoning System Magic, while worrying that a Ruler might target him.

After returning to Mingzhu District, Su Miu rested at home with Mu Ningxue before going back to Pearl Academy with a letter of thanks and an award from the East Sea Military Department.

• Su Miu encountered seven students he had defeated in the Beast Fighting Competition and taunted them after finally recognizing them as his former opponents.
• One student punched at Su Miu, who dodged and slapped him into a pool; he then used the Elemental Hand to absorb the others’ spells and knocked all six down with Thunderfield.

Su Miu challenged Pearl Academy’s Main Campus departments and used the Snow Empress’s soul-seed power to defeat them. After realizing he had mistaken seven students from different departments for Ice Element students, he apologized, but went on to crush seven other departments, leaving his reputation as the Great Demon King unchallenged.

• Students and teachers stopped challenging Su Miu, making his position as Pearl Academy’s Great Demon King unshakable.

Su Miu and his friends joined forces for Pearl Academy’s Main Campus assessment, uncovering Black Vatican spies while capturing the escaped Night-Dwelling Demon Beast. After baiting the Blue-Robed Deacon with a false report that he had killed Mo Fan, Su Miu waited for the deacon to respond.

• Su Miu, Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan, and Xu Zhaoting became neighbors, and Su Miu teased Xu Zhaoting about his rumored girlfriend Zhang Lulu.
• As the assessment approached, Ling Ling made Su Miu and Mu Ningxue’s home her base, while Su Miu promised to take her out after the test.
• Mo Fan defeated students who attacked him, and Ling Ling received a commission to protect him; Mo Fan asked his protector to watch over his family and planned to call for Su Miu if he needed help.
• The four friends followed Xu Zhaoting’s lead to a beef processing plant, where they defeated the Black Vatican attackers and Su Miu extracted information from their leader.
• The group captured the Night-Dwelling Demon Beast, then split up so Su Miu could draw out the Blue-Robed Deacon while Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Xu Zhaoting hunted Pearl Academy’s spies.
• Su Miu sent the Blue-Robed Deacon a false message claiming he had killed Mo Fan and taken the Earth Sacred Spring, and the deacon replied with a promise of a reward.

Su Miu captured a Blue-Robed Deacon and returned to the Main Campus assessment, where he stopped a crowd from attacking Mo Fan, Xu Zhaoting, and Mu Ningxue. After Night Hawk explained the trio’s actions, Su Miu began auctioning the team’s remaining spots for cultivation in the Three-Step Tower.

• Su Miu tricked a Blue-Robed Deacon with ordinary fluorescent water, froze him with the Snow Empress, and captured him alive.
• Leng Qing arrived, took custody of the frozen Deacon, and agreed to have Ling Ling bring Su Miu his reward.
• At the Main Campus, students accused Mo Fan, Xu Zhaoting, and Mu Ningxue of murder after they killed people who had attacked them with black beast demons.

• Night Hawk identified himself as an adjudicator and explained that the trio had been eliminating threats to the public.
• Su Miu used a megaphone to auction the team’s three remaining spots for cultivation in the Three-Step Tower, and Mo Fan joined in eagerly.

Mo Fan sold Three-Step Tower cultivation spots, and Su Miu escorted several companions to the tower before leading a week of cultivation on its upper floors. The Main Campus assessment ended with everyone making progress, and Su Miu began planning to obtain a Star River Vein for his future breakthrough to the Advanced Level.

• Zhao Manyan, Mu Nujiao, and Zheng Bingxiao won Three-Step Tower spots for a total of nearly ninety-five million, which Mo Fan and the others split equally with Su Miu.
• Su Miu offered to take Zhao Manyan and Zheng Bingxiao to the third floor for one million each, then used his Space Element to bring them and the others there while Mu Nujiao climbed on her own.
• Su Miu took the group to the fourth floor and summoned companions who needed Spiritual Power training, while leaving out the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Bi Ji to avoid Dean Xiao's anger.
• During seven days in the Three-Step Tower, Su Miu raised his Summoning System to the peak of Intermediate Level 3 and improved his first Sharing Element, while his companions strengthened their Spiritual Power and magic elements.
• After the Main Campus assessment ended, Su Miu considered asking little Ling Ling about obtaining a Star River Vein for his eventual Advanced Level breakthrough.
