Chapter Summaries

After Huo Yuhao clashed with Wang Shaojie, he went alone into the Soul Beast forest near Mingdu to hunt for his fourth Soul Ring. The Players received a quest to exterminate a wolf pack, and Huo Yuhao discovered that its Wolf King was a rare spirit-type Soul Beast just as the pack attacked him.

• Keke and Orange left the lab, while Wang Shaojie warned Huo Yuhao that their conflict was not over.
• He Caitou visited Huo Yuhao and cautioned him about Wang Shaojie's vindictive nature; Huo Yuhao said he had reached level forty and planned to hunt for his fourth Soul Ring.
• Tang Yi reflected that plot inertia was difficult to change, and the Players received a quest to exterminate a wolf pack.
• The Players identified the pack as the one Huo Yuhao would encounter and set out to clear its quest targets.
• In the forest, Orange refused Huo Yuhao's offer to share grilled fish and travel together, then left with Keke.
• Huo Yuhao detected the wolf pack and its rare spirit-type Wolf King, but the wolves attacked him.

Huo Yuhao led a wolf pack toward the Players, intending to use their battle as a distraction while he hunted the Wolf King. The Players ambushed the wolves, while Orange and Keke emerged from their overturned soul guidance device and approached them.

• Orange and Keke fled the approaching wolves in their All-Terrain Mobile Soul Guidance Device, which the Players mistook for a monster and attacked before recognizing them inside.
• The Players spotted the wolves pursuing Huo Yuhao and prepared an ambush, while I Am an Angel and Qian Xunji flew off to draw the Wolf King's aggro.
• Huo Yuhao led the wolves into the Players' encirclement, used his Simulation Soul Skill to shake their aggro, and headed after the Wolf King.
• The Players slaughtered the first wolves with their attacks and Soul Guidance Cannons, prompting the rest of the pack to charge them.
• Orange and Keke climbed out of their overturned device and walked over to ask the Players what was happening; the Players debated who should explain the accident.

The Players lured the Wolf King into a coordinated battle while Huo Yuhao hid nearby, intent on claiming it as his Spirit Ring. As the Wolf King’s guards fell and its HP dwindled, the Players realized Huo Yuhao might try to steal the kill and began planning a response.

• I Am an Angel and Qian Xunji provoked the Wolf King and drew it toward the Players’ Pocket Formation, but the Wolf King stopped when it sensed its pack had been slaughtered.
• Huo Yuhao watched from hiding with his Simulation Soul Skill and decided to claim the Spirit System Wolf King for himself.
• Dong'er apologized to Orange and Keke for the destruction of their Soul Guidance Device and invited them to accompany the group back to school.
• The Players surrounded the Wolf King, damaged it and its guards, and Dong'er helped Ten-Year Veteran finish off one guard.
• The Players noticed Huo Yuhao was missing and suspected he was hiding nearby to steal the Wolf King’s kill.
• Gu Yuanhao told the Players he had an idea for dealing with Huo Yuhao.

Gu Yuanhao and the Players cleared the surrounding trees with C4 to flush Huo Yuhao out while they fought the Wolf King. Huo Yuhao was driven away from the boss, and the Players left him surrounded as their assault on the Wolf King continued.

• Gu Yuanhao revealed his upgraded Sharingan Martial Soul and explained that explosions would force Huo Yuhao out of hiding.
• The Players blasted away the nearby trees with C4, forcing Huo Yuhao to flee and allowing Gu Yuanhao to track him.
• Gu Yuanhao, Dong'er, Transforming Autobot, and I Am Xiao Jian pursued Huo Yuhao while I Am an Angel attacked the Wolf King with Sun God Judgment.
• The Wolf King entered Deathbed Frenzy, but the Players focused their attacks and reduced its health to a sliver.
• Ten-Year Veteran attacked the Wolf King with Overlord's Might as Huo Yuhao returned, only to be intercepted by Gu Yuanhao's group and hit by cannon fire.
• Huo Yuhao realized the Players were holding him back to buy time, and Dong'er confirmed his suspicion.

After the Wolf King fell, the Players auctioned its rare drops while Huo Yuhao attacked I Am Xiao Jian and fled. Gu Yuanhao led the Players in pursuit, and they cornered Huo Yuhao under a barrage as I Am an Angel launched a powerful attack.

• Ten-Year Veteran defeated the Wolf King, which dropped a Martial Soul Evolution Card and a Martial Soul Slot Card that Qian Xunji won in the silent auction.
• Huo Yuhao, angered by losing the Soul Ring he wanted, hit I Am Xiao Jian with Ice Emperor's Wrath and then ran away.
• Gu Yuanhao tracked Huo Yuhao's location, and the Players set off to hunt him down, with Keke and Orange following.
• Skydream Iceworm and the Ice Empress scolded Huo Yuhao, who admitted his mistake as the Players' Soul Guidance Cannons forced him out of Simulation.
• I Am an Angel and Qian Xunji caught up with Huo Yuhao, and I Am an Angel fired Twin Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Solar Judgment at him.

As the Players cornered Huo Yuhao, Ice Empress helped him survive Solar Judgment, but his body and mental strength were nearly exhausted. Tang Yi paid the System fifty thousand Luck Points to capture Electrolux, who emerged to shield Huo Yuhao from a fatal attack and unleashed a mental assault that left Huo Yuhao at risk of severe damage.

• Ice Empress appeared around Huo Yuhao and helped him survive Solar Judgment, though he was badly injured.
• The Players continued hunting Huo Yuhao while Tang Yi learned the System would not let him die before his Luck Points were reclaimed.
• Tang Yi paid fifty thousand Luck Points to capture Electrolux as Huo Yuhao was cornered and nearing his limit.
• Electrolux appeared behind Huo Yuhao and blocked Ten-Year Veteran's Overlord's Strike with gray-white flames.
• Electrolux's mental attack knocked Keke and Orange unconscious and weakened the Players, while Gu Yuanhao warned that using Huo Yuhao's nearly depleted mental strength could leave him an idiot.

The Players bombed the Wolf King and completed their mission after hunting down the last two wolves, while Huo Yuhao survived but fell into a coma. Tang Yi captured Electrolux and considered turning him into a Martial Soul for the Players.

• Qian Xunji threw a Level 8 Soul Guidance Bomb, and the blast sent some Players back to the Respawn Point while Dong'er carried the unconscious Keke and Orange to safety.
• The Players could not determine whether Huo Yuhao had survived, then realized two wolves remained and split up to hunt them.
• Huo Yuhao survived and was teleported to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, where his exhausted mental power left him unconscious.
• Tang Yi kept Electrolux in a bottle and considered giving him to the Players as a Martial Soul after reclaiming Huo Yuhao's luck.
• The Players received their mission rewards, and Qian Xunji resolved to get a second Martial Soul after losing a race to I Am an Angel.

Qian Xunji awakened an Angel Martial Soul, fused it with his Fallen Angel Martial Soul into a Chaos Angel, and demonstrated its power to the players. After Keke and Orange recovered from a soul attack, the players prepared to escort them back.

• Qian Xunji awakened an Angel Martial Soul, and Gu Yuanhao suggested that Twin Martial Souls were connected rather than random.
• Qian Xunji bought a Twin Martial Soul Fusion Skill and upgraded both his Fallen Angel and Angel Martial Souls to four-winged forms.
• Qian Xunji fused the two Martial Souls into a Chaos Angel and explained that he could maintain the form while his Soul Power lasted, though Chaos Judgment ended it and triggered a cooldown.
• Keke and Orange woke up with headaches and learned from Dong'er that they had been hit by a soul attack.
• Qian Xixi offered to escort Keke and Orange back, and Agile Dog in the Mountains declined to exploit their recovery to raise their favorability.

Huo Yuhao was carried back to Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy after his spiritual power was severely overdrawn, and Jing Hongchen questioned He Caitou about the incident. The Players learned that Huo Yuhao had survived and discussed ways to find Xu Tianran and prepare for the Body Sect’s coming attack on Illustrious Virtue Hall.

• He Caitou arranged healing for Huo Yuhao and learned that his spiritual power was so depleted that he would not wake soon.
• Jing Hongchen questioned He Caitou about why Huo Yuhao had hunted for a Soul Ring without the academy’s help and demanded that Shrek Academy be informed.
• After Jing Hongchen left, He Caitou suspected the academy was hiding something and considered reporting Huo Yuhao’s condition to Shrek Academy.
• The Players escorted Keke and Orange to the academy entrance, then Gu Yuanhao reported that Huo Yuhao had been carried inside after apparently teleporting to the entrance.
• The Players discussed asking Orange to help them locate Xu Tianran, but decided that using their favor on him was not worthwhile.
• Wang Zhongwang reminded the Players that the Body Sect would soon invade Illustrious Virtue Hall to seize the Snow Empress, and they wondered what would happen if she became a quest item.

The Players planned how to steal the Snow Empress during the coming attack on the Illustrious Virtue Hall. Before they could act, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo arrived in Mingdu to avenge his destroyed branch altar, and Tang Yi arranged for the Players to hunt him.

• The Players discussed using Concealment Cloaks to reach the underground base beneath the Illustrious Virtue Hall while other Players kept the battle going by helping whichever side was losing.
• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, the Holy Spirit Cult's Fifth Elder, secretly arrived in Mingdu to investigate the destruction of his branch altar.
• Tang Yi noticed Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and welcomed the chance to give the Players a quest before the Noumenon Sect attacked.
• The system issued an emergency quest requiring the Players to eliminate Ten Thousand Souls Douluo in exchange for two ten-thousand-year soul bones, experience, and Gold Soul Coins.
• The Players debated how to stop the Title Douluo from escaping and began planning their attack, considering a Level 8 Soul Guidance Bomb and Qian Xixi's martial soul fusion skill.

The Players lured Ten Thousand Souls Douluo toward their trap near Mingdu’s Respawn Point and used Agile Dog in the Mountains to test his strength. After Agile Dog blew himself up alongside the BOSS, Nine-Tailed Male Fox approached Ten Thousand Souls Douluo with his seduction skill, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• The Players prepared Soul Guidance Cannons and Soul Traps near the Respawn Point and decided to send Agile Dog in the Mountains to lure Ten Thousand Souls Douluo over.
• Agile Dog in the Mountains taunted Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, who blocked a cannon blast and chased him toward the Players’ encirclement.
• Agile Dog in the Mountains detonated himself beside Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, returning to the Respawn Point while the BOSS survived the explosion.
• Gu Yuanhao reported that Ten Thousand Souls Douluo had high attack and defense, could be taunted, and seemed highly intelligent.
• Nine-Tailed Male Fox used his Three-Tailed Charming Fox Martial Soul to approach Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and ask whether he was beautiful.

The Players used the Human Emperor Banner to absorb and purify the vengeful souls unleashed by Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, weakening his defenses. As they coordinated their attack, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo drew the remaining souls into his body and prepared to show them his other powers.

• Nine-Tailed Male Fox taunted Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and drew him into the Players’ prepared Soul Guidance Cannon barrage, which took a quarter of his health.
• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo activated his Martial Soul True Body and unleashed vengeful souls, but Gu Yuanhao raised the Human Emperor Banner and drew most of them inside to be purified.
• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo became greedy for the Human Emperor Banner, while I Am an Angel broke through his weakened vengeful-soul barrier.
• Gu Yuanhao and Ten-Year Veteran coordinated the Players’ attack, with Qian Xixi taking the front and Gu Yuanhao preparing to fire the Thunder Cannon at Ten Thousand Souls Douluo.
• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo drew the remaining vengeful souls into his body as shifting faces appeared across him.

The Players tried to stop Ten Thousand Souls Douluo from escaping with the Human Emperor Banner, and Nine-Tailed Male Fox’s outrageous sacrifice enraged the BOSS enough for Ten-Year Veteran to damage him. Gu Yuanhao identified a way to weaken Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, and Qian Xunji and I ended the chapter channeling holy power into his body.

• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo tore apart Ten-Year Veteran’s attack and nearly emptied his health bar with a punch, but Ten-Year Veteran used a Health Potion to recover.
• Nine-Tailed Male Fox drew Ten Thousand Souls Douluo’s attention with Charm, then kissed him and blew himself up, leaving the BOSS furious.
• Ten-Year Veteran used Twin Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Overlord's Might to damage Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and reduce his health to a little more than half.
• Gu Yuanhao worked out that the Players had to force the Vengeful Souls out of Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and proposed using Qian Xunji and I’s holy power.
• Qian Xixi tried to hold Ten Thousand Souls Douluo off while Qian Xunji and I gathered holy power, then the two charged in and channeled it into the BOSS.

The players defeated Ten Thousand Souls Douluo’s body, but he sacrificed himself to merge with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and emerged as a fast-moving vengeful soul. As the players struggled to damage him, he devoured the Primordial One’s soul—only to find nothing there.

• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo survived the Thunder Cannon with little health remaining and used his banner to drain the players’ health, but their souls proved beyond his reach.
• Ten-Year Veteran struck Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, and the players focused their attacks until his health bar emptied.
• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo killed himself, merged his soul into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and appeared again with a small health bar.
• Dong’er’s Spiderweb Binding passed through the soul, while Gu Yuanhao and Ten-Year Veteran called for the players to use elemental attacks and hold out for reinforcements.
• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo rushed through the Primordial One, emptied his health bar, and was baffled when he found no soul to devour.

The players fought Ten Thousand Souls Douluo’s Vengeful Soul after his first attack killed Primordial One. Qian Xixi weakened the soul with Taotie Swallows the Heavens, then Qian Xunji and I Am an Angel destroyed it with a combined attack, leaving the players unsure whether the battle was truly over.

• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo’s Vengeful Soul instantly killed Primordial One, then killed Ten-Year Veteran when he attacked the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
• Qian Xixi returned from respawning and used Taotie Swallows the Heavens, draining the Soul Power around the battlefield and dimming the banner.
• I Am an Angel used holy power to repel Ten Thousand Souls Douluo’s soul while the players restored their mana and prepared their attacks.
• The support players buffed Qian Xunji and I Am an Angel, who struck the soul with Chaos Judgment and Solar Judgment as the others attacked and distracted it.
• Ten Thousand Souls Douluo’s soul and health bar vanished, and the combined attack also destroyed his corpse and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The Players completed their mission and auctioned two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, while Huo Yuhao remained unconscious at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. Mu En sent Elder Zhuang to investigate Huo Yuhao’s condition, as the Players’ stakeouts of the academy and imperial palace turned up nothing.

• The Players received their mission rewards, and Qian Xunji and Qian Xixi won the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones at auction.
• Qian Xunji equipped his Soul Bone and gained the Divine Ring skill, while Qian Xixi’s Soul Bone granted Blackwater Cage.
• Mu En learned that Huo Yuhao was unconscious after supposedly exhausting his spiritual power while hunting a Soul Ring and doubted the explanation.
• Mu En sent Elder Zhuang to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy to investigate, warning him not to provoke a direct confrontation.
• The Players staked out the academy and imperial palace in hopes of triggering another mission, but neither group encountered anyone of interest.

Elder Zhuang arrived at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy to treat Huo Yuhao, while Jing Hongchen clashed with him over the incident. As the Noumenon Sect gathered in Mingdu, Tang Yi issued the Players their mission to join the attack on the Illustrious Virtue Hall and obtain the Snow Empress's Embryo.

• Elder Zhuang examined the unconscious Huo Yuhao and said his spiritual power had been abruptly drained, but he expected him to recover within a month.
• He Caitou told Elder Zhuang about their experiences at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, and Elder Zhuang began restoring Huo Yuhao's life force.
• Elder Zhuang challenged Jing Hongchen for an explanation, and Jing Hongchen agreed to let him stay until Huo Yuhao woke up.
• Tang Yi noticed the Noumenon Sect's disciples arriving in Mingdu and issued the Players a mission to take part in their attack on the Illustrious Virtue Hall and obtain the Snow Empress's Embryo.

The players received a mission to search Mingdu for members of the Noumenon Sect and gained a map alert feature to help find them. Huo Yuhao woke after six months unconscious, blamed the New Tang Sect for attacking him, and learned Elder Zhuang would take him to obtain a Soul Ring.

• The players discussed the mission to find Snow Empress's Embryo and planned to locate the Noumenon Sect before its attack on Illustrious Virtue Hall.
• Gu Yuanhao suggested sending feedback to the Game System, and Tang Yi paid 1000 Fortune Points to add map alerts for search targets within 100 meters.
• The players split up to search Mingdu and agreed to mark anyone they found without confronting them yet.
• Elder Zhuang treated Huo Yuhao until he regained consciousness and asked him what had happened.
• Huo Yuhao claimed the New Tang Sect had stolen his chosen Soul Beast and attacked him, then learned he had been unconscious for about half a year.
• Elder Zhuang told Huo Yuhao to rest and promised to take him to obtain a Soul Ring in a few days.

The Players located Du Busi and prepared for the Noumenon Sect’s impending operation, while Tang Yi anticipated taking Huo Yuhao’s fortune after the mission. Huo Yuhao recovered, successfully carved a soul tool array, and went to ask Xuan Ziwen for another chance, but Xuan Ziwen refused to take the Zhuge Divine Ballista.

• The Players used map alerts to find Noumenon Sect members, and Dong'er identified their sect master, Du Busi, by his green hair.
• Gu Yuanhao estimated that the Noumenon Sect would act within a week and advised watching for its members to gather, so the Players stocked up on potions, C4, and soul tools.
• Tang Yi looked forward to reclaiming Huo Yuhao’s Fortune Points and possibly adding Skydream Iceworm and Ice Empress to his collection.
• Huo Yuhao apologized to Skydream Iceworm and Ice Empress for acting impulsively, and they warned him to stay calm in the future.
• After recovering, Huo Yuhao carved a soul tool array successfully, then visited Xuan Ziwen to ask for another chance and show him the improved Zhuge Divine Ballista; Xuan Ziwen refused to take it.

Huo Yuhao failed to convince Xuan Ziwen that he had modified the Zhuge Divine Ballista himself, but he later recovered and broke through to four rings. Meanwhile, the Players infiltrated the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and waited for the Noumenon Sect’s attack on Illustrious Virtue Hall to begin.

• Xuan Ziwen rejected Huo Yuhao’s claim that he had modified the Zhuge Divine Ballista and told him to find another teacher.
• Jing Hongchen arranged another teacher for Huo Yuhao, and Elder Zhong later returned with a suitable soul beast so Huo Yuhao could absorb a soul ring and reach four rings.
• The Players planned a nighttime infiltration, using a small explosion as a diversion while Ten-Year Veteran slipped into the academy under a Concealment Cloak.
• The Players entered the academy and hid near Illustrious Virtue Hall ahead of the Noumenon Sect’s planned operation.
• Explosions erupted inside Illustrious Virtue Hall, and Du Busi led the Noumenon Sect inside as the Players prepared to enter amid the chaos.
