Chapter Summaries

After class, Zhang Lan took Wang Dong, Nan Qiuqiu, and Xiao Xiao to Shrek City's food street, where they found Huo Yuhao selling grilled fish. They ate and helped draw customers to his stall, and the chapter ended as a striking golden-haired girl in a purple uniform arrived.

• Wang Yan appointed Zhang Lan class monitor and named Nan Qiuqiu and Wang Dong deputy class monitors.
• Zhang Lan led Wang Dong, Nan Qiuqiu, and Xiao Xiao to the food street outside Shrek Academy to try its stalls.
• Zhang Lan spotted Huo Yuhao selling grilled fish with Tang Ya and bought four fish, insisting Huo Yuhao accept a Gold Soul Coin.
• Customers praised Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, and a long line formed at his stall.
• After Zhang Lan and the others finished eating, a beautiful golden-haired girl in a purple uniform approached with several female students.

Huo Yuhao refused to bargain over his grilled fish, and Xu Sanshi tried to take the remaining fish by force before Zhang Lan stopped him. After Xu Sanshi apologized and Jiang Nannan rejected him, Zhang Lan’s group left and met again the next morning beside Sea God Lake.

• Jiang Nannan asked Huo Yuhao to lower the price of his grilled fish, but he refused and said the day’s batch was sold out.
• Xu Sanshi threw a Gold Soul Coin at Huo Yuhao’s stall and tried to grab the two reserved fish, but Zhang Lan pinned him with gravity and Huo Yuhao pulled the grill away.
• Xu Sanshi recognized Zhang Lan, apologized to him and Huo Yuhao, and gave Huo Yuhao two Gold Soul Coins as compensation.
• Jiang Nannan rejected Xu Sanshi and left, while Zhang Lan’s group ended their outing and departed after Huo Yuhao offered to save them grilled fish each day.
• Zhang Lan and the others met the next morning and walked along the Lakeside Path beside Sea God Lake.

Zhang Lan stopped Ma Xiaotao as her out-of-control evil fire drove her into an attack near Sea God Lake, then extinguished the flames and knocked her unconscious. Yan Shaozhe arrived and explained that Ma Xiaotao was not an Evil Soul Master, while Wang Dong demanded that Shrek Academy answer for failing to prevent the danger to its students.

• Xiao Xiao, Zhang Lan, and Nan Qiuqiu saw a red figure racing across Sea God Lake, and Tian Meng and Electrolux discussed Zhang Lan’s resistance to fire.
• Zhang Lan pushed Nan Qiuqiu’s group away and trapped the charging Ma Xiaotao with his gravity skills after warning the students to flee.
• Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire overcame the gravity suppression, but Zhang Lan’s rebounding gravity rays extinguished her flames and left her unconscious.
• Yan Shaozhe arrived, confirmed Ma Xiaotao was his disciple, and explained that her martial soul had caused her evil fire to go out of control.
• Wang Dong challenged Yan Shaozhe over the academy’s failure to stop Ma Xiaotao before she endangered students and demanded an explanation.

After Zhang Lan and Wang Dong received compensation for stopping Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaozhe discovered that Zhang Lan’s Soul Skill had suppressed her evil fire and began scheming to keep him at Shrek. Three months later, Zhang Lan had reached rank fifty-two, and the Freshman Assessment was announced for the following day.

• Yan Shaozhe promised compensation after Zhang Lan released Ma Xiaotao, and a teacher later delivered two storage rings containing Soul Coins and pills.
• Zhang Lan inspected the compensation and judged it better than the amount given in the original story, though still only a minor benefit to him.
• Ma Xiaotao realized her evil fire had gone dormant, and Yan Shaozhe suspected Zhang Lan’s strange rays had suppressed it.
• Yan Shaozhe decided he wanted Zhang Lan to become Ma Xiaotao’s junior fellow disciple and resolved to keep the gifted Soul King at Shrek.
• Over the next three months, Zhang Lan cultivated to rank fifty-two while Electrolux continued researching soul spirit contracts.
• Wang Yan announced that the Freshman Assessment would begin the next day, prompting an uproar in the classroom.
