Chapter Summaries

Lu Yu and Lin Tian named their new faction Flower-Fruit Mountain, then Lu Yu traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the Sky-Flying Centipede for his Second Soul Ring. He confirmed the Soul Beast was the one he wanted and prepared to absorb it at the Wild Wolf Soul Hunting Team’s base.

• Lu Yu hinted that he had a remarkable future base in mind, while Lin Tian offered to help choose one if it disappointed him.
• The next morning, Lu Yu traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest and asked the Wild Wolf Soul Hunting Team whether they had found a Sky-Flying Centipede.
• The team’s leader demanded an additional three hundred Gold Soul Coins and revealed that they had already captured the centipede.
• Lu Yu confirmed the nine-segment Sky-Flying Centipede was the Soul Beast he wanted and paid the team, whose leader suppressed his curiosity about Lu Yu’s Storage Soul Tool.
• Lu Yu decided to absorb the Soul Beast at the team’s base rather than carry it away.

Lu Yu absorbed a second Ten-Year Soul Ring and discovered it granted a powerful speed boost, then returned to Suotuo City and found Lin Tian waiting at his courtyard. Lu Yu revealed his two white Soul Rings, prompting Lin Tian to mistake him for an impostor and threaten him with his staff.

• Lu Yu thanked Captain Wild Wolf after absorbing his second Ten-Year Soul Ring and left for Suotuo City.
• Lu Yu tested his Second Soul Skill, named Nitrogen Acceleration, which boosted his movement speed and could be locked to sustain an even stronger increase.
• Lu Yu summoned the Ruyi Staff and considered its growing weight and Great Sage’s stored Soul Power.
• Lu Yu reached his brightly lit courtyard late at night, entered cautiously, and found Lin Tian waiting inside.
• Lu Yu showed Lin Tian his two white Ten-Year Soul Rings, and Lin Tian accused him of impersonating Lu Yu and pointed his Thunder Pattern Staff at him.

• Niu Da and Niu Er activated their Martial Souls, and the crowd fell silent when Lu Yu revealed two white Ten-Year Soul Rings.

Lu Yu and Lin Tian faced Niu Da and Niu Er in the Soul Fighting Arena, where Lu Yu’s two Ten-Year Soul Rings shocked the crowd. Lu Yu defeated the pair, and the arena declared the Flower-Fruit Mountain Duo the winners.

• The crowd and Niu Da and Niu Er were stunned when Lu Yu revealed his two Ten-Year Soul Rings.

• Niu Da used Berserk Bull Ground Stomp to knock Lin Tian down, but Lu Yu struck Niu Da and Niu Er from behind with Twin Dragons Fetch Water, knocking them unconscious.
• The host announced the Flower-Fruit Mountain Duo as the winners, and Lin Tian complained to Lu Yu that he had put him through trouble.

After a grueling Soul Fighting Arena match, Lu Yu gave Lin Tian a reason to delay his Soul Ring hunt and went to buy Whale Rubber. On the way, he discovered that the young sausage seller was Oscar and began considering how to recruit him.

• Lu Yu and Lin Tian celebrated their thirtieth consecutive victory after defeating two stronger Soul Masters, and Lin Tian expected to break through to level 30 that night.
• Lu Yu promised to give Lin Tian something valuable after his breakthrough and told him not to hunt for a Soul Ring immediately.
• Lu Yu headed to the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce to buy Whale Rubber but followed an unusual fragrance to a sausage cart.
• Lu Yu offered Oscar a Gold Soul Coin for freshly made sausages, and Oscar used his Martial Soul to produce one.
• Lu Yu tasted Oscar's sausage, felt his injuries and fatigue ease, and left while planning to recruit Oscar.

After Lin Tian broke through to level thirty, Lu Yu helped him refine Whale Rubber to strengthen his body before they set out to hunt for his third Soul Ring. On the way, Lu Yu found Oscar again and offered him cultivation resources in exchange for providing healing sausages, leaving Oscar stunned by the proposal.

• Lu Yu bought two pieces of high-quality Whale Rubber from the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce and waited while Lin Tian cultivated.
• Lin Tian broke through to level thirty, and Lu Yu explained that Whale Rubber could strengthen the body and raise the age of Soul Rings a person could absorb.
• Lu Yu gave Lin Tian Whale Rubber to refine, and Lin Tian resolved to follow him loyally.
• After refining the Whale Rubber, Lin Tian joined Lu Yu to head toward the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a third Soul Ring.
• Lu Yu found Oscar at his sausage stall and offered him cultivation resources in exchange for supplying healing sausages, leaving Oscar shocked.

Lu Yu tried to recruit Oscar, then helped Lin Tian choose a Soul Beast for his third Soul Ring while they traveled toward the Star Dou Great Forest. Lin Tian chose the Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly to strengthen his Martial Soul Origin.

• Lu Yu invited Oscar to join him, but Oscar said he needed to ask Flender for permission and learned where to find Lu Yu.
• Lu Yu explained to Lin Tian that Oscar was a food-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power.
• Lu Yu presented four lightning-attribute Soul Beasts and explained the different Soul Skills and long-term benefits each could provide Lin Tian.
• Lin Tian chose the Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly to strengthen his Martial Soul Origin and potentially improve his future cultivation and Soul Skills.

Lu Yu and Lin Tian hired Captain Luo’s Soul Hunting team to find a Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly, intending to use one over two thousand five hundred years old for Lin Tian’s third Soul Ring. After the exhausted butterfly laid an egg, the team attacked it with a powder that left it staggering.

• Lu Yu hired Captain Luo’s team to hunt a Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly, concealing his plan to choose one older than two thousand years.
• The team found a butterfly laying eggs in a rocky thunder region, and Lu Yu identified it as over two thousand five hundred years old.
• Captain Luo warned Lu Yu and Lin Tian that the butterfly was too old for a third Soul Ring, but Lu Yu paid the remaining fee and insisted on proceeding.
• After about half an hour, the butterfly laid a purple-patterned egg and crawled to a ledge to rest.
• Captain Luo’s team surrounded the weakened butterfly and threw powder bombs that made it lose its balance.

Lu Yu revealed that the Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly was about 3,800 years old, far beyond Lin Tian’s safe limit, but Lin Tian chose to absorb its Soul Ring anyway. After the Soul Hunting team accepted Lu Yu’s compensation, they left to guard the area while Lin Tian began the attempt.

• Captain Luo and his companions battled the Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly and realized it was far stronger than a 2,500-year Soul Beast.
• Lu Yu pretended to be shocked by the beast’s age, then told Lin Tian privately that it was 3,800 years old and that Lin Tian could likely withstand only about 3,500 years.
• Lu Yu apologized to Captain Luo and paid the team 2,000 Gold Soul Coins, easing their anger over his misjudgment.
• Lin Tian killed the Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly and produced its purple Soul Ring despite Lu Yu’s warning.
• Lin Tian told Lu Yu he wanted to try absorbing the ring, and Lu Yu gave him a healing sausage before asking Captain Luo’s team to stand guard.

Lin Tian survived absorbing the Purple-Patterned Thunder Spirit Butterfly's Soul Ring, becoming a Soul Elder and purifying his Martial Soul Origin. He gained an External Soul Bone in the form of butterfly wings, which Lu Yu concealed as they left the Star Dou Great Forest with Captain Luo's group.

• Lin Tian endured the Soul Ring's violent power, using a Recovery Sausage to stay conscious as the lightning battered his body.
• Lin Tian's Thunder Pattern Staff drew the lightning away from him, and he eventually absorbed the Soul Ring before passing out in Lu Yu's arms.
• A pair of bluish-purple butterfly wings emerged from Lin Tian's back, revealing that he had obtained an External Soul Bone.
• Lu Yu caught Lin Tian when the wings vanished, covered the bulge on his back with a blanket, and carried him away.
• Lu Yu called Captain Luo and the others to follow, and the group left the forest after Lin Tian's successful breakthrough.

After waking from absorbing a 3,800-year Soul Ring, Lin Tian discovered that he had reached level thirty-seven and gained an External Soul Bone in the form of butterfly wings. Lu Yu explained the wings’ nature, and Lin Tian named them the Purple-Patterned Wings.

• Lu Yu told Lin Tian that he had been unconscious for three days and confirmed that he had successfully absorbed a 3,800-year Third Soul Ring.
• Lin Tian sensed that his Soul Power had risen to level thirty-seven, then accidentally summoned the wings on his back and crashed into the table.
• Lu Yu helped Lin Tian calm down and control the wings, then explained that they were a growth-capable External Soul Bone.
• Lin Tian offered to remove the wings and give them to Lu Yu, but Lu Yu refused and explained that the Soul Bone could not be absorbed by anyone else once removed.
• Lu Yu warned Lin Tian to hide the wings from outsiders until they had completely fused, and Lin Tian named them the Purple-Patterned Wings.

Lin Tian explained his third Soul Skill and strange Soul Bone Skill to Lu Yu before Flender confronted Lu Yu over recruiting Oscar. Flender accepted Lu Yu’s original offer to fund Oscar’s cultivation, then returned to Shrek Academy and found Oscar worried about Lu Yu.

• Lin Tian told Lu Yu that his third Soul Skill doubled the power of lightning-attribute skills and that his Purple-Patterned Wings formed a chrysalis that needed lightning to open.
• Flender’s Soul Power swept through the courtyard, and he shouted for Lu Yu to come out.
• Lu Yu recognized Flender as Shrek Academy’s dean and flattered him before apologizing for approaching Oscar without knowing he was a Shrek student.
• Flender asked whether Lu Yu’s offer to Oscar still stood, and Lu Yu agreed to keep the original terms.
• Flender returned to Shrek Academy and found Oscar pacing anxiously; Oscar asked whether Flender had made things difficult for Lu Yu.

After Flender frightened Lu Yu and Lin Tian, he warned Oscar to conceal his Innate Full Soul Power while allowing him to keep meeting the pair. Lu Yu resolved to grow stronger, and Oscar returned to visit him.

• After Flender left, Lu Yu told Lin Tian that the visitor was Flender, a level 78 Soul Saint, and reassured him that he had come to check whether they were trying to recruit Oscar.
• Flender told Oscar to claim his innate Soul Power was level seven and warned him that outsiders might target him if they learned he had Innate Full Soul Power.
• Flender decided to let Oscar get to know Lu Yu and Lin Tian, but abandoned the idea of sending Ma Hongjun after finding his room empty.
• Lu Yu and Lin Tian remained shaken by Flender's visit, while Lu Yu worried about how to become stronger quickly.
• Oscar knocked at Lu Yu's courtyard, and Lu Yu welcomed him inside.

Lu Yu tried to help Oscar overcome the embarrassment of his Soul Incantation by training him to split his attention. Oscar struggled through repeated failures but persisted, leaving the practice unfinished.

• Lu Yu welcomed Oscar and learned that Flender had agreed to let him join them while keeping Oscar's Innate Soul Power secret.
• Oscar created a Recovery Sausage for Lu Yu and Lin Tian, then admitted that he had to recite his embarrassing Soul Incantation aloud to use his Soul Skill.
• Lu Yu proposed that Oscar train by drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other, hoping that divided attention might let him alter how he recited the incantation.
• Oscar began practicing, but his drawings repeatedly tangled into crooked shapes as Lu Yu encouraged him to continue.
• Oscar kept practicing despite aching, numb fingers and a swollen-feeling head, while Lin Tian bought more paper for him.

Oscar struggled to master drawing a circle and square independently before Lu Yu took Lin Tian to Thunder Valley to test his mysterious Purple-Patterned Wings Soul Bone Skill. A cocoon formed around Lin Tian, withstanding Lu Yu’s strongest attack, and Lu Yu drew down heavenly lightning to trigger its release.

• Oscar practiced drawing until exhaustion, and Lu Yu comforted him before taking him and Lin Tian to eat.
• Back at Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun teased Oscar about spending time with Lu Yu, while Flender watched with quiet unease.
• Lu Yu dragged a reluctant Lin Tian to Thunder Valley to test the Soul Bone Skill that made the Purple-Patterned Wings encase him in a cocoon.
• Lin Tian’s cocoon sealed him off from the outside world, and Lu Yu found it remained intact against strikes from a tree trunk and the Ruyi Staff.
• Lu Yu set up an iron lightning rod against the cocoon, retreated, and a bolt of heavenly lightning struck the rod.

Lu Yu tested Lin Tian’s thunder chrysalis Soul Bone Skill and deduced that it was immune to every kind of attack except lightning, but left Lin Tian helpless and unconscious until lightning freed him. A month of further testing revealed that stronger bodies required more lightning to break out, so Lu Yu and Lin Tian stopped using the skill to temper Lin Tian’s body.

• Lin Tian emerged from the thunder chrysalis with a stronger body, and Lu Yu urged him to activate the skill again for further tests.
• Lu Yu crushed the chrysalis with the Ruyi Staff and then burned it in a huge fire, but neither attack damaged it.
• Lu Yu concluded that the chrysalis was a rule-type Soul Skill that resisted all non-lightning attacks, while Lin Tian realized it could protect him from most opponents at the cost of being unable to move or sense anything.
• Lu Yu warned Lin Tian that without lightning, he could remain trapped in the chrysalis indefinitely, leaving his fate to chance.
• Over the next month, Lu Yu and Lin Tian found that the chrysalis needed increasingly more lightning to open as Lin Tian’s body grew stronger; after Lin Tian took 17 strikes to emerge, they stopped using the skill for body tempering.

Oscar practiced drawing a square and circle simultaneously until Lu Yu suggested a way to alter his Soul Incantation, allowing him to summon a Healing Sausage. Lu Yu left to visit his younger brother, and Oscar returned to Shrek determined to improve his casting speed.

• Oscar kept visiting Lu Yu and practicing drawing a square and circle, while Ma Hongjun followed him and was beaten by Lu Yu and the others.
• Lu Yu told Oscar he was leaving to see his younger brother, Lu Fei, and Oscar revealed that he had learned to draw a square and circle simultaneously.
• Lu Yu suggested Oscar silently think his original Soul Incantation while saying a modified one, and Oscar successfully summoned a Healing Sausage.
• Oscar said the new incantation took fifteen percent longer to cast, so Lu Yu promised to teach him a Self-Created Soul Skill if he halved the casting time before they met again.
• Oscar returned to Shrek and tried to sneak up on Zhao Wuji, who caught his hand; Oscar explained that Lu Yu and Lin Tian had gone home.

Oscar secretly tested his changed Soul Incantation on Zhao Wuji, Li Wensong, and Lu Qibin, who sensed something was different but did not identify the cause. Ma Hongjun noticed the new incantation while asking Oscar for a sausage, prompting Oscar to explain the change to Flender, who reacted with shock.

• Oscar gave Zhao Wuji a healing sausage made with his new Soul Incantation, leaving Zhao Wuji puzzled.
• Oscar made sausages for Li Wensong and Lu Qibin, and both teachers sensed something was off but could not recall what he had said.
• Oscar watched Flender make Ma Hongjun run laps as punishment for sneaking out to a brothel.
• Ma Hongjun called Oscar over for a sausage and realized that Oscar had used a different Soul Incantation.
• Oscar announced that he had changed his incantation to "I Have a Healing Sausage" and explained how to Flender, who was stunned by the news.

Lu Yu returned to Nuoding City and reunited with Su Yuntao, then secretly tested Lu Fei’s combat skills at the academy. When the fight exposed his face, Lu Fei recognized his long-missed older brother.

• Lu Yu returned to Su Yuntao’s home, prepared dinner, and reunited with Su Yuntao after three months apart.
• Lu Yu told Su Yuntao that his Soul Power had reached rank three, concealing his true strength and achievements.
• Lu Yu visited Nuoding Academy, hid in Lu Fei’s dormitory, and ambushed him to test his progress.
• Lu Fei used Martial Soul Possession and fought the masked attacker, but Lu Yu matched his attacks with practiced skill.
• Lu Fei’s flames burned away Lu Yu’s mask, and Lu Fei recognized his face and asked if he was his brother.

Lu Yu returned to the academy and reunited with Lu Fei, then Yu Xiaogang learned of his return and asked Tang San to help him study Lu Yu's external beast Martial Soul. Tang San agreed, though he resented how eagerly Yu Xiaogang pursued Lu Yu.

• Lu Fei recognized Lu Yu and Great Sage, then embraced his brother and cried after their three-month separation.
• Xiao Chenyu and other students arrived to investigate the noise, and Lu Fei explained that Lu Yu was his brother and had been testing his cultivation.
• Lu Yu took Lu Fei home while rumors about his mysterious background spread through the academy.
• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang that Lu Yu had returned, and Yu Xiaogang hurried to find him before stopping to ask where he had gone.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that studying Lu Yu's external beast Martial Soul might help him break through level 29, and Tang San agreed to help.
