Chapter Summaries

A battle between Shrek Academy’s Titled Douluos and the Holy Church left Mu En gravely weakened, while Ma Xiaotao escaped during the attack. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Yin ate two Emerald Swan eggs to recover and planned to pursue the Auspicious Beast before returning to Shrek, where Mu En and Xuan Zi debated the academy’s exchange program with the Sun Moon Empire.

• Wang Sheng Jia watched Mu En and the Golden Giant Dragon overpower the Evil Soul Masters, while Ma Xiaotao broke through her seal and escaped the Sea God Pavilion.
• Tang Yin replaced his Ten-Year Soul Ring with a Ten-Thousand-Year Cave Demon Spider ring, reached level forty-five by hunting Soul Beasts, and searched the forest for powerful vitality and the Blue Silver Emperor.
• Xuan Zi brought Tang Yin two Emerald Swan eggs, which Tang Yin ate to strengthen his recovery; Tang Yin then planned to capture the Auspicious Beast’s fortune for Xiao Qi and Meng Hongchen.
• Xuan Zi told Mu En that Ma Xiaotao had escaped during an attack by twelve Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters, and Mu En described the vitality he had spent fighting them.
• Mu En and Xuan Zi disagreed over the exchange program’s student selection and team leader before agreeing that Lexuan could lead a program open to qualified Martial Soul Department students.
• Tang Yin learned that Mu En would not meet him, and Xuan Zi asked him to discuss the expedition he had mentioned once they had both recovered.

Seven months after the Soul Fighting Tournament, Huo Yuhao advanced rapidly in soul tool theory and research while his soul power reached level 38. As the inter-school soul tool network project drew interest and raised the problem of collecting martial soul data, Huo Yuhao looked to Shrek Academy for help and learned that several of its Soul Masters might come to Mingdu.

• Huo Yuhao reached level 38 in soul power, mastered large amounts of intermediate soul tool theory, and advanced his projects, including the Ultimate Cooling Array and the soul tool network.
• Ma Rulong developed improved level 4 and level 5 relay soul tools, while readers of Soul Engineer Genius suggested features such as forums, news, a public library, and simulated soul tool design.
• Ma Rulong asked Huo Yuhao how he would gather martial soul and soul power data, and Huo Yuhao decided to seek help from Shrek Academy instead of explaining his knowledge of the Collective Sea of Collective Subconscious.
• Huo Yuhao sent Wang Dong improved intermediate soul tools, and she responded with secret letters about her progress, Meng Hongchen, and Shrek Academy's Soul Masters.
• Wang Dong told Huo Yuhao that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi had become Soul Kings and entered Shrek's Inner Court, while He Caitou and Jiang Nannan had reached rank forty-nine and several Martial Soul Department members might visit.

After breaking the seal on Qian Renxue’s secret scroll, Huo Yuhao learned that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay in Sunset Forest and set out with Jing Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to find it. Tang Yin also learned that the Heaven Dou Empire planned to search Sunset Forest and raced to claim the well for himself, while Huo Yuhao’s group evaded an aerial patrol and continued toward their destination.

• Huo Yuhao discovered that students had turned his old library seat into a shrine, and he reflected on the counseling work that had brought him close to advancing to Sequence 6.
• Huo Yuhao broke the seal on Qian Renxue’s scroll and learned that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was in Sunset Forest, then decided to search for it and sent a letter to Tang Yin.
• Jing Hongchen told Huo Yuhao that Meng Hongchen’s Vermilion Clear Ice Toad could become dangerous at high cultivation, and Huo Yuhao decided to bring her along to seek a remedy at the well.
• At Shrek Academy, Tang Yin demanded payment and Tang Sect membership from Xu Sanshi and the others before resolving their Evil Fire, then read that the Heaven Dou Empire planned to scour Sunset Forest and hurried to get there first.
• Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen flew toward Sunset Forest in a Level 9 Flying Soul Tool while Huo Yuhao concealed them from a Heaven Dou Empire patrol led by Mu Xue.

Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and met the immortal herb Youyou, who explained that the well could suppress but not cure Meng Hongchen’s mixed ice, fire, and poison. Huo Yuhao challenged the herbs’ reverence for Tang San, and Youyou asked them to leave or remain trapped.

• Huo Yuhao identified the likely location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the group found a vast, highly corrosive poisonous miasma over the Sunset Forest.
• Jing Hongchen used a specialized Soul Tool to shield the group as they descended through the miasma and found a valley filled with rare plants and a divided red-and-white spring.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection to recognize that many plants had developed intelligence, then began speaking with the immortal herb Youyou.
• Youyou said the well could suppress Meng Hongchen’s cold and fire poisons but could not cure them, and she named the Mysterious Heaven Skill as a way to balance them.
• Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen challenged the herbs’ claims that Tang San had been kind to them, arguing that his protections had isolated them and harmed the Sunset Forest.
• Youyou defended Tang San, then told the group to leave or stay in the valley.
