After Ling Feng collapsed in the ruined arena, Shrek rushed him to a forest camp, where Ning Fengzhi, Qian Renxue, and Xue Beng each sent valuable gifts. As Ling Feng remained unconscious, Dai Mubai asked whether he wanted to join Shrek, the true paradise for monsters.

• Ling Feng feigned a gravely wounded collapse, interrupting Salas’s teleportation trap and stopping the blood fiend Qi from invading Qian Renxue’s Angel Mark.

• Dai Mubai told the unconscious Ling Feng to stop playing dead and asked whether he wanted to come to Shrek.

Ling Feng accepted Dai Mubai’s invitation to join Shrek Academy, triggering a system reward that placed an inactive Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring inside him and required him to reach the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest to activate it. He asked Yu Xiaogang to take him to Shrek and help hunt his second Soul Ring, but Tang San forcibly seized Yu Xiaogang’s suspicious leather pouch.

• Ling Feng chose Shrek Academy after Dai Mubai invited him, and the representatives of the other factions accepted his decision.
• The system rewarded Ling Feng with an inactive Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Spiritual Origin Imprint, which revealed that he had to reach the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest to activate the ring.
• Ling Feng noticed a dangerous presence inside Yu Xiaogang’s leather pouch and suspected it was connected to the Lake of Life.
• Ling Feng asked Yu Xiaogang to take him to Shrek and help hunt his second Soul Ring, and Yu Xiaogang eagerly agreed to lead him to the Star Dou Forest.
• Tang San grabbed Yu Xiaogang’s hand and tore the leather pouch from his grasp.

After the Shrek group fled the stone house, they reached the shabby Shrek Academy, where Ling Feng’s bear cub knocked Ma Hongjun into the mud. A powerful bald man on the roof then challenged Ling Feng, demanding to know whether he was a fighter.

• The holy light tear crystal suppressed the sinister bone fragment, and Tang San took it before the Shrek group fled the stone house.
• Flender drove the group toward Shrek Academy while Yu Xiaogang trembled, Tang San guarded the bone fragment, and Ling Feng rested beside the newborn bear cub.
• The group arrived at the dilapidated academy and saw its grand golden motto plaque and a broken sign bearing faint words about Spirit Hall certification.
• Ma Hongjun tried to demand protection money from Ling Feng, but the bear cub’s pressure knocked him into the mud.
• Oscar offered Ling Feng one of his Big Sausages, but a bald, muscular man on the academy roof called out to Ling Feng and asked if he was a fighter.

Ling Feng challenged Zhao Wuji to prove he could make the Immovable Wisdom King move, then used the hidden presence of a hundred-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring and a desperate hammer strike to shift him. Zhao Wuji accepted Ling Feng and promised to take him to the Star Dou Great Forest the next day.

• Zhao Wuji threatened to throw Ling Feng out of Shrek, but Ling Feng demanded a third choice and challenged him to move.
• Ling Feng proposed a contest with Zhao Wuji suppressing himself to level twenty-five and using no Soul Skills, and Zhao Wuji accepted.
• Ling Feng awakened the phantom Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring, causing Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul to recoil in fear.
• Ling Feng hammered the mud beside Zhao Wuji's foot, and the shock wave shifted Zhao Wuji several inches before Ling Feng collapsed.
• Zhao Wuji acknowledged Ling Feng's guts and said he would personally take him to the Star Dou Great Forest the next day.

Zhao Wuji led the injured Ling Feng and the others into Star Dou Great Forest to find Ling Feng a second Soul Ring, while signs of the bear cub’s mysterious origin unsettled Zhao Wuji and Tang San. After Ma Hongjun attacked Ling Feng, the cub’s power struck back, and Ling Feng’s check-in revealed two dangerous Soul Ring choices and a warning about the Lake of Life.

• Zhao Wuji examined a faint dark-gold mark on his ankle and recognized it as connected to the hundred-thousand-year-old bear he had encountered in the Far North, then led the group toward Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tang San grew suspicious of Xiao Wu as the cold bone shard he carried reacted against the wild presence he sensed within her.
• At the forest entrance, Oscar distributed Flying Mushroom Sausages, but Ma Hongjun knocked Ling Feng’s sausage away and insulted him.
• An unseen force struck Ma Hongjun, tearing away fat and a tooth fragment; Ling Feng’s system identified the attack as an immediate punishment for Ma Hongjun’s malicious conduct.
• Ling Feng ate another sausage and checked in at Star Dou Great Forest’s official entrance, receiving a choice between a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and a Cave Demon Spider as his second Soul Ring.
• The system warned Ling Feng that approaching the Lake of Life would awaken its Twin Sovereigns, leaving him with two dangerous hunting options and a near-fatal risk.

Ling Feng’s group encountered Meng Yiran and the Peerless Dragon Snake after Zhao Wuchang injured Meng Yiran’s Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, and Chao Tianxiang chose to retreat rather than fight. As Tang San was ordered to absorb the serpent, an assassin attacked Oscar with a poisoned crossbow bolt, and Ling Feng stopped it and pointed out the attacker’s hiding place.

• Ling Feng awoke from a disturbing vision of two terrifying silhouettes in the Lake of Life and considered seeking a King Demon Spider for his second Soul Ring.
• A Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent charged at Ling Feng’s stretcher, and Zhao Wuchang struck it down with a single blow.
• Meng Yiran, Chao Tianxiang, and Meng Shu arrived, but Chao Tianxiang apologized and led her family away after Zhao Wuchang accused Meng Yiran of attacking his students.
• Zhao Wuchang ordered Tang San to absorb the wounded serpent’s Soul Ring.
• A poisoned crossbow bolt nearly struck Oscar, but Ling Feng used his power to stop it and directed the group toward the hidden shooter.

Ling Feng uncovered Chao Tianxiang’s role in guiding the Venomous Scorpion slave hunters to the group, then left alone to hunt a Cave Demon Spider despite his grave injuries. At the nest entrance, he checked in and received a map and basic toxin resistance, but learned that multiple monarch-class spiders waited inside.

• Ling Feng warned the group that Chao Tianxiang had left a Serpent Cane lingering image to reveal their location, and Zhao Wuchang led the fight against the Venomous Scorpion slave hunters.
• Ling Feng broke a poisoned bolt aimed at Oscar with a flick, then asked Oscar for three Flying Mushroom Sausages and headed southwest to hunt his second Soul Ring.
• Zhao Wuchang ordered Tang San to absorb the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and pursued Ling Feng, while the other students stayed behind.
• Ling Feng found the Cave Demon Spider nest and heard Tang San suffering nearby while absorbing a Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring beyond his limit.
• Ling Feng checked in at the nest entrance, received an underground map and basic monarch-class demon spider toxin resistance, and learned that multiple monarch-class life signatures were inside before entering.

Ling Feng used the bear cub’s ability to devour the spiderwebs to weaken the Cave Demon Spider’s mental attack, then lured the monster into an ambush and blasted it out of its underground lair. He discovered the spider was a mutated 1,768-year-old creature, far beyond the system’s stated thousand-year standard.

• The Cave Demon Spider’s mental assault injured Ling Feng and nearly shattered his mental barrier, but the bear cub bit into the webs and devoured their toxin essence.
• Ling Feng followed the holographic map to the trap core, used the cub’s attack on the webs to disrupt the spider, and stepped onto the marked patch of ground.
• The Cave Demon Spider launched a claw from underground, and Ling Feng stomped down with Earth-Shaking Blast, channeling the shock through its limb and forcing it from its lair.
• Ling Feng saw the spider’s severed pincer and strange blood reveal a possible devouring domain, then watched the system identify it as 1,768 years old.

Ling Feng survived the spiderlings when the bear cub unleashed its dormant sovereign power, then risked forced absorption to devour the Cave Demon Spider and gained a new Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and level. Just as he celebrated, the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming arrived and pinned him to the ground with its overwhelming presence.

• The bear cub activated Sovereign's Majesty, destroying the attacking Ghost-Faced Spiderlings and paralyzing the spider mother through bloodline suppression.
• Ling Feng ordered the system to forcibly absorb the mutated Cave Demon Spider despite the risk of his body and mind collapsing.
• Ling Feng's dantian shattered under the absorption backlash, but the Titan Origin Mark stabilized the energy and formed a resilient new barrier.
• The spider mother died, and Ling Feng gained a 1,768-year Soul Ring, the Armor-Breaking Domain skill, the Cave Sovereign Fangs External Soul Bone, and levels 21 and 22.
• The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, arrived and crushed Ling Feng to the ground with its immense pressure.

Ling Feng used the bear cub’s whimper to distract Er Ming, then saw that Er Ming had buried Zhao Wuji and the others beneath a mound of rubble and was holding Xiao Wu. Er Ming’s attack collapsed and sealed the cave, leaving Ling Feng trapped with the unconscious cub as Er Ming gathered energy outside.

• Ling Feng pressed the barely breathing bear cub to his chest and used his Purple Demon Eye to probe beyond the cave entrance.
• Ling Feng saw Er Ming standing over a grave mound of debris and torn Shrek uniforms while holding the unconscious Xiao Wu.
• Er Ming spotted Ling Feng and the bear cub and stamped at the cave in a fury.
• The bear cub struck Er Ming’s foot, shifting his stomp enough for it to hit the cliff beside the entrance instead.
• The stomp buried the cave entrance, and Ling Feng tumbled into the depths with the unconscious bear cub as the cave began to collapse.

Ling Feng escaped Er Ming’s devastating attack by opening a fissure with his Clear Sky Hammer, then followed a weak Shrek Academy signal through an underground river. After reaching the ruined forest, he spotted Tang San falling from the sky and rushed to catch him, despite his severe injuries.

• Ling Feng unleashed his Armor-Breaking Domain and smashed open a fissure, then plunged into it with the bear cub as Er Ming’s energy blast annihilated the spider nest above.
• Ling Feng’s system warned that the bear cub was near death and detected a weak Shrek Academy tracking signal to the north, so he swam toward it through corrosive underground water.
• Ling Feng used the Purple Demon Eye to scan the ruined forest and spotted Er Ming racing away with Tang San pursuing him.
• Er Ming’s movement shockwave struck Tang San and sent him plummeting toward the woodland below.
• Ling Feng poured his remaining Soul Power into his legs and charged toward Tang San as he fell.

Ling Feng used his Armor-Breaking Domain to shatter the ten-thousand-year Demon Spider Lord’s pincer, then found Tang San gravely injured and treated his broken leg. After telling Tang San that Xiao Wu had been taken rather than killed, Ling Feng joined forces with him to pursue the Titan Giant Ape.

• Ling Feng broke through the Demon Spider Lord’s ambush by draining its pincer’s defenses and smashing the limb with his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Ling Feng found Tang San unconscious with multiple injuries and an open fracture in his right leg.
• Ling Feng spent 100 Fortune Points on Jade Marrow Bone-Mending Salve and used his remaining power to revive Tang San.
• Ling Feng told Tang San that Xiao Wu had been taken by the Titan Giant Ape and that Spirit Hall might be involved.
• Tang San insisted he could continue, and Ling Feng shared his remaining power with him as they combined their footwork and raced after the Titan Giant Ape.

Ling Feng and Tang San escaped Chrysanthemum Douluo’s undead domain by burning the dying bear cub’s Dark Gold Origin, but the cub died in Ling Feng’s arms. At the Lake of Life, Ling Feng checked in and gained power as Tang San launched a suicidal attack on Er Ming, leaving Ling Feng racing to stop him.

• Ling Feng used the bear cub’s Dark Gold Origin to disrupt the undead domain, and he and Tang San broke through its weakened edge.
• The bear cub died after its essence opened a path to safety, and Ling Feng saw Xiao Wu alive beside Er Ming at the Lake of Life.
• Tang San mistook Er Ming’s gentle touch of Xiao Wu for an attack and began preparing a self-destructive Buddha’s Fury Lotus.
• Ling Feng checked in at the Lake of Life’s outskirts, raised his Soul Power to level 23, and gained Er Ming’s basic favorability.
• Tang San charged Er Ming, and Ling Feng rushed after him while Er Ming turned toward Tang San with confusion and sorrow in its eyes.

Ling Feng stopped Tang San from unleashing a deadly Asura attack as Er Ming’s strike bore down on them, then risked his life to tell the Titan Giant Ape they meant no harm and had come to take Xiao Wu home. Er Ming sensed a strange kinship in Ling Feng and lowered its halted palm, while the surrounding Evil God Domain remained a threat.

• The Evil God Domain engulfed the lakeshore, and Tang San’s life-burning power awakened a one-use Asura attack aimed at Er Ming.
• Er Ming swung a massive palm toward Tang San, while Ling Feng pinned Tang San’s wrists and forcibly interrupted his attack.
• Ling Feng shouted that he and Tang San had come to take their friend Xiao Wu home, while dislocating Tang San’s elbow to stop him from fighting.
• Er Ming halted its palm above Ling Feng and Tang San after sensing a faint feeling of kinship and safety from Ling Feng.
• Er Ming lowered its palm and uttered a confused, wounded-sounding roar.

Xiao Wu awakened, revealed that she was a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit, and confessed her secret to Tang San while holding the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. As Ling Feng tried to keep Tang San alive and urged Xiao Wu not to blame herself, seven powerful newcomers arrived and their leader launched a holy spear at her.

• Xiao Wu woke and saw Er Ming despairing, Da Ming burning his essence, and Ling Feng protecting the badly wounded Tang San.
• Xiao Wu blamed herself, revealed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and confessed to Tang San that she was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
• Tang San was devastated by Xiao Wu's revelation, and the power forming his Asura Death Scythe began to run wild.
• Ling Feng told Xiao Wu that she was his friend regardless of what she was and continued restraining Tang San.
• Seven powerful figures broke through the Mara Evil God Domain, and their leader demanded Xiao Wu before hurling a giant golden spear at her.

Mo Luo survived by feigning defeat, tore a core from his Evil God Domain, and attacked the descending Angel Holy Spear, whose deadly shock wave threatened Ling Feng and Tang San. Chrysanthemum Douluo-Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo-Gui Mei, and Bibi Dong’s projection arrived, and Bibi Dong fixed her attention on the Sky Azure Bull Python as her true target.

• Mo Luo emerged from the ruined core of his Evil God Domain, devoured a mysterious core, and confronted the Angel Holy Spear to seize its divine power.
• Ling Feng and Tang San faced the holy spear’s lethal shock wave, unable to escape or defend themselves.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo-Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo-Gui Mei appeared before Ling Feng and Tang San and blocked the shock wave.
• Bibi Dong’s projection arrived with them and subdued the remaining holy pressure with a skeletal ghost claw.
• Bibi Dong ignored Ling Feng, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Mo Luo, focusing instead on capturing the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Ling Feng forcibly absorbed divine and demonic energy, then used a makeshift Clear Sky Hammer to halt Yue Guan’s petal storm and protect Tang San. As Ling Feng’s body began to fail, Gui Mei attacked Xiao Wu from behind, and Tang San launched a desperate blood-colored ice needle that seemed too weak and slow to stop him.

• Ling Feng activated the Desperate Straits God-Devil Furnace and absorbed traces of the Angel Holy Spear’s divine light and Evil God Moluo’s origin, causing his body to convulse as the two forces fought for control.
• With Yue Guan’s petals cutting into him, Ling Feng freed Tang San’s pinned arm and charged into the storm, forming an unstable Clear Sky Hammer projection.
• Ling Feng struck with his second Soul Skill, Earth-Shaking Blast, crushing the first petals and briefly stopping the storm before Yue Guan prepared to attack again.
• As Ling Feng suffered severe backlash, Tang San focused on Xiao Wu and saw Gui Mei’s shadowy claw appear behind her heart.
• Tang San burned his life and soul to fire a dark blood-colored ice needle at Gui Mei’s claw, but it appeared too slow and weak to reach it in time.

Xiao Wu’s Lovesick Heartbreak Red halted Ghost Douluo Gui Mei’s attack long enough for Da Ming to emerge and destroy it. Bibi Dong ordered her subordinates to subdue Da Ming and dispose of the others, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei trapped the battlefield in their Polar Stillness Domain.

• The Lovesick Heartbreak Red froze Gui Mei’s Shadow Ghost Claw just before it pierced Xiao Wu.
• Da Ming rose from the Lake of Life and shattered the frozen claw and its connection to Gui Mei with a roar.
• Er Ming regained his fighting spirit, while Bibi Dong assessed the battle and ordered Yue Guan and Gui Mei to subdue Da Ming and dispose of the others.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei joined their powers and unleashed the Polar Stillness Domain, slowing Ling Feng, Xiao Wu, Tang San, Evil God Moluo, and Da Ming.
• The domain overwhelmed Ling Feng, suppressing his divine and demonic powers as his senses faded.

Ling Feng's system combined the divine and demonic powers within him and used the Clear Sky Hammer to crack the Two Extremes Stillness Domain. The opening let Da Ming break free, and Er Ming launched himself toward Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

• Ling Feng's divine and demonic origin powers resonated as he neared death, briefly tearing a crack in the domain.
• The system diverted 1% of its origin and compressed the powers into a chaotic sphere, then forced Ling Feng to strike the domain's weak point with the Clear Sky Hammer.
• The hammer shattered a small section of the Two Extremes Stillness Domain, releasing a surge of chaotic Qi.
• Da Ming broke free of the domain's restraints and roared.
• Er Ming launched himself toward Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
