Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao traveled to the Far North with Tian Meng and Electrolux to recruit the Ice Empress as his Second Martial Soul, while wondering whether the original Huo Yuhao's soul remained alive. After Huo Yuhao and Electrolux revealed their power and overwhelmed the Ice Empress, an unseen presence stirred in a nearby snowdrift.

• Huo Yuhao wondered whether the strange sensation in his body meant that the original owner's soul had survived, then asked Du Busi to investigate a student resembling him at Shrek.
• Huo Yuhao left the Body Sect for the Far North with Electrolux and concealed himself while Tian Meng called out the Ice Empress.
• The Ice Empress appeared and mocked Tian Meng, but he trapped her with his spiritual power.
• Huo Yuhao emerged and asked the Ice Empress to become his Martial Soul and Second Soul Ring as Electrolux revealed his divine-level spiritual power.
• Huo Yuhao unleashed the pressure of his platinum-level Double Pupils Martial Soul, astonishing the Ice Empress, while a snowdrift near the Far North's core region began to tremble.

The Snow Empress prepared to take human form after discovering a hidden injury that made her next great tribulation seem fatal, but she sensed Tian Meng’s power had returned and abandoned the plan. She arrived to confront Tian Meng for helping humans threaten the Far North, while wary of Electrolux.

• The Star Luo Empire’s hunters concealed themselves in the snow, waiting to capture a rumored hundred-thousand-year soul beast with their God Sealing Platform.
• The Snow Empress erased a snow lotus’s consciousness and considered using it to take human form because her injury made the seventh great tribulation too dangerous.
• Wu Chi secretly released Soul Power to warm himself, revealing the hunters to the Snow Empress, who drove them into a desperate flight.
• The Snow Empress sensed Tian Meng’s power had returned and abandoned her transformation, rushing toward him as she realized the Ice Empress could be spared the great tribulations.
• Electrolux went on alert as the Snow Empress appeared and angrily accused Tian Meng of surrendering to humans and helping them hunt an overlord of the Far North.

Huo Yuhao and Electrolux confronted the Snow Empress after she demanded Tian Meng’s power, but Huo Yuhao argued that the Far North’s rulers could gain a path to immortality by becoming his Martial Souls. The Snow Empress considered transforming or taking Tian Meng’s power until Huo Yuhao revealed the Soul Spirit Method to her and the Ice Empress.

• The Snow Empress demanded that Huo Yuhao surrender Tian Meng’s power, while Huo Yuhao refused and asked her to hear the Ice Empress’s view.
• The Ice Empress told the Snow Empress that Tian Meng had deceived her at first but that she later recognized his talent.
• The Snow Empress sensed Huo Yuhao’s powerful Martial Souls and Electrolux’s threat, then asked Electrolux whether he intended to fight.
• Huo Yuhao offered the Snow Empress eternal life as his ally, but she chose to leave and let the Ice Empress proceed.
• Huo Yuhao warned that transforming in the current era could cost the Snow Empress her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, then said he wanted both Empresses as his Martial Souls.
• Huo Yuhao handed the Soul Spirit Method to the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

The Snow Empress began sacrificing herself to become Huo Yuhao’s Martial Soul while the Ice Empress became his Soul Spirit, but a conflict caused by the Snow Empress’s transformation toward human form threatened to destroy him. Electrolux ordered the Ice Empress and Tian Meng to help with a second sacrifice, hoping their powers could stabilize Huo Yuhao.

• The Snow Empress asked Electrolux to guarantee that she and the Ice Empress would retain their consciousness, then chose to become Huo Yuhao’s Martial Soul while the Ice Empress became his Soul Spirit.
• The Snow Empress sacrificed her origin power, and Huo Yuhao endured the pain as it formed a white torso Soul Bone.
• The Snow Empress’s origin power fluctuated because part of it had transformed toward human form, creating a conflict that threatened to destroy Huo Yuhao’s body.
• Electrolux identified the conflict and told the Ice Empress and Tian Meng to help, ordering the Ice Empress to begin sacrificing herself as a buffer.
• The Ice Empress began her sacrifice without hesitation despite the danger to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao survived the Ice Empress's sacrifice as the Ice and Snow Empresses fused their powers with Tian Meng's life force and spiritual power. He awakened the Second Martial Soul Ice Master, gained a second Million-Year Soul Ring and an ice-tail External Soul Bone, and discovered its Soul Skill was Ice Empress Armor.

• The Ice Empress began her willing sacrifice, while Tian Meng and Electrolux stabilized Huo Yuhao and helped contain the chaotic powers within his body.
• The Ice and Snow Empresses fused their source powers, and, with Tian Meng's life force and spiritual power, they suppressed and transformed the unstable human source power.
• A brief, world-threatening lightning tribulation gathered as a pillar of new ice-blue and gold power erupted from Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao awakened his Second Martial Soul, named Ice Master, and realized his Soul Power had broken through level forty.
• Huo Yuhao and Electrolux suspected the fusion had created a Million-Year Soul Ring, while the remaining power formed an ice-tail External Soul Bone.
• Huo Yuhao activated the tail's Soul Skill and discovered it was Ice Empress Armor.

Huo Yuhao examined the powers granted by the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, then set out to obtain a fourth Soul Ring for his Double Pupils Martial Soul. After Electrolux found and captured a suitable Evil Eye Tyrant, Huo Yuhao killed it and began absorbing its Soul Ring, which unexpectedly brought him a surprise.

• Huo Yuhao tested the Ice Empress Armor and learned about its Soul Skills and the powers sealed within his Ice Master Martial Soul.
• The Snow Empress told Huo Yuhao that another Soul Skill would manifest once their origins had fully fused.
• Huo Yuhao decided to seek a roughly fifty-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant for his Double Pupils Martial Soul's fourth Soul Ring.
• Electrolux found a suitable Evil Eye Tyrant and used spatial magic to carry it away without drawing the Evil Emperor's attention.
• Huo Yuhao killed the Evil Eye Tyrant and began absorbing its fourth Soul Ring, which surprised him in an unexpected way.

After a year and a half of secluded cultivation, Huo Yuhao remained stuck at level forty-nine and accepted Du Busi’s offer to represent the Heavenly Soul Empire in the tournament. He hoped to confront Tang Yuhao and learn whether the lookalike had his memories, but Shrek Academy was devastated by the strongest Soul King’s Corpse Explosion before he could meet his teammates.

• Huo Yuhao absorbed the Tyrant and gained the Domain of Double Pupils, a spatial domain that weakened enemies and could confine them.
• His Soul Power reached level forty-five and a half, and he returned with Electrolux to the Body Sect for secluded cultivation.
• After a year and a half, Huo Yuhao was stuck at level forty-nine when Du Busi proposed that he compete for the Heavenly Soul Empire to clear his name.
• Huo Yuhao agreed, intending to investigate Tang Yuhao, whose resemblance to him and Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul had left him deeply unsettled.
• Before Huo Yuhao could meet his Di'ao Academy teammates, the strongest Soul King unleashed Corpse Explosion at Shrek Academy, causing devastation.

The Death Messenger abducted Tang Yuhao after killing four Shrek inner court disciples, while Wang Dong blamed Xuan Zi for failing to stop him. Huo Yuhao tracked the undead power and reached the cave just as a golden light from Tang Yuhao struck the Death Messenger, confirming Tang Yuhao was connected to Huo Yuhao’s original body.

• The Death Messenger defeated the Shrek group, killed Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, and Xi Xi, and carried off Tang Yuhao.
• Wang Dong berated Xuan Zi for arriving too late and failing to stop the Death Messenger, so Xuan Zi set off in pursuit.
• The Death Messenger brought Tang Yuhao to a cave and prepared to turn him into a corpse slave.
• Huo Yuhao entered the Star Luo Empire with the Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy expedition and chose to focus on finding Tang Yuhao rather than confronting Dai Hao.
• Electrolux sensed the Death Messenger’s undead power, and Huo Yuhao followed it to the cave.
• A golden light erupted from Tang Yuhao and engulfed the Death Messenger; Huo Yuhao recognized Tang Yuhao as the person he had been seeking.

Huo Yuhao witnessed the original Tang Yuhao’s resurrection and tried to learn whether he had kept his memories. He discovered that Tang Yuhao’s memories had been reset, leaving him convinced that a future confrontation was unavoidable.

• After the Death Messenger died, golden light faded from Tang Yuhao, and he stood up confused about where he was.
• Huo Yuhao had Electrolux create an illusion so he could meet Tang Yuhao in a curtain of light.
• When asked who he was, Tang Yuhao instinctively answered that his name was Tang Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao realized Tang Yuhao’s memories had been reset and judged him to be a puppet and an unavoidable obstacle.
• Tang Yuhao sensed that something belonging to him had been taken away as Huo Yuhao left, and Huo Yuhao wondered whether Tang Yuhao still had hidden power.

Huo Yuhao concluded that Tang Yuhao’s soul had been hollowed out and decided to use the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Son training to try to awaken his buried memories, while withholding judgment about the God King’s influence. After following the Heaven Dou team to the tournament hotel, Huo Yuhao was shocked to find that Xiao Xiao had joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

• Electrolux told Huo Yuhao that Tang Yuhao’s Martial Soul concealed an undeveloped devouring talent, and Huo Yuhao decided to consider putting him through the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Son training before resorting to killing him.
• Tang Yuhao sensed an uncanny connection to Huo Yuhao and grew more determined to investigate the feeling.
• Xuan Zi found Tang Yuhao and brought him back to the group, where Wang Dong expressed relief and Wang Yan treated the injured Ma Xiaotao and others.
• Wang Yan urged Xuan Zi to ask the academy for more students because the injured team members would likely miss the finals, and Xuan Zi left to raise the matter with the Sea God Pavilion.
• Huo Yuhao followed the Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy to the hotel and was stunned to see Xiao Xiao among the Sun Moon Empire’s reserve team.

Xiao Xiao told Huo Yuhao how his advice had helped her choose the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and find her path as a defensive counterattack-type, battlefield-control Soul Engineer. After the two parted, Tang Yuhao heard about Huo Yuhao and wondered whether the man who resembled him was his missing older brother.

• Xiao Xiao explained that Huo Yuhao’s words had helped her question whether she needed to attend Shrek Academy, and she convinced her family to let her study at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Xiao Xiao told Huo Yuhao she had become the academy’s first defensive counterattack-type, battlefield-control Soul Engineer, and he recognized how well her Martial Souls suited that role.
• Xiao Hongchen introduced himself to Huo Yuhao and promised to make his exit dignified in their upcoming fight, while Meng Hongchen greeted him politely.
• Meng Hongchen teased Xiao Xiao about liking Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao blushed before glancing back toward him after they parted.
• After seeing Tang Yuhao arrive with Shrek Academy, Xiao Xiao privately asked whether he had an older brother named Huo Yuhao.
• Tang Yuhao denied having an older brother, then remembered a similar-looking figure and asked Xiao Xiao where Huo Yuhao was.

Tang Yuhao searched for Huo Yuhao, then confronted him in the hotel corridor, hoping to understand their resemblance and similar names. Huo Yuhao denied feeling any connection, evaded Tang Yuhao’s attempt to stop him, and warned him not to provoke him again.

• Tang Yuhao asked Xiao Xiao where Huo Yuhao was staying, but the receptionist refused to disclose private lodging information.
• Wang Yan sent Shrek’s reserve team into the competition because three main-team members were injured and four were dead.
• Shrek’s preliminary team won its opening match, while Huo Yuhao sat out Di'ao Academy’s victory and focused on obtaining the Ice Explosion Technique Soul Bone.
• Tang Yuhao waited in the hotel corridor and asked Huo Yuhao about his name, Martial Soul, and whether he felt a strange connection between them.
• Huo Yuhao said he felt no connection, slipped away when Tang Yuhao tried to grab him, and threatened to kill him if he provoked him again.

Huo Yuhao threatened Tang Yuhao after he questioned him about their resemblance, while Tang Yuhao and Wang Dong won a difficult match against Zhengtian Academy through a strange blood-devouring change in Tang Yuhao’s Blue Silver Emperor. Shrek’s reinforcements helped the team reach the top four, just as the Starlight Auction began.

• Huo Yuhao threatened Tang Yuhao for questioning him, and Tang Yuhao left without learning why they looked alike.
• Tang Yuhao and Wang Dong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill against Zhengtian Academy, but their opponent broke free and Bei Bei struggled to defeat the strongest enemy.
• Tang Yuhao’s Blue Silver Emperor absorbed blood and restored his strength, allowing him and Wang Dong to win the match.
• Wang Yan warned Xuan Zi that the Shrek students could die if they kept fighting without help, so Xuan Zi hurried back to Shrek Academy.
• Xuan Zi brought Gou Xiaotian and Liu Sanlong as reinforcements, and Shrek advanced to the top four before the Starlight Auction began.

At the auction, the Star Luo Empire presented a weakened Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Hawksbill Turtle whose life was being drained by the Gold of Life inside him, and bidding between the Body Sect and Illustrious Virtue Hall surged past a hundred million. Huo Yuhao considered intervening after the Body Sect stopped bidding, but was called away to complete the handover of his Soul Bone.

• Electrolux showed Huo Yuhao the Golden Hawksbill Turtle imprisoned on the God Sealing Platform, where the Gold of Life continued to consume his vitality.
• Xu Jiujiu explained that the turtle carried a vast life-energy treasure that could extend lifespan and might be refined by a powerful Soul Master.
• Lang Ya, Yu Tao, and Huo Yuhao recognized the value of the turtle and the Gold of Life as the auction bids climbed above a hundred million.
• The Body Sect and Illustrious Virtue Hall continued bidding, but Lang Ya eventually stopped as Illustrious Virtue Hall outmatched them financially.
• Huo Yuhao suspected Lang Ya and Yu Tao might attempt a sneak attack and considered whether he could risk angering the Sun Moon Empire.
• An attendant told Huo Yuhao that his Soul Bone had arrived and asked him to complete the handover.
