Su Yun turned down the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and ordered the Su Clan to strengthen itself while seeking rare Soul Bones and the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife. He planned to use the knife’s remnant soul as a Soul Ring, relying on his Soul Martial Soul, but intended to wait until he was strong enough.

• The emperor rewarded the grand elder with only the usual ducal status, and the grand elder silently saw him off.
• After a half-month of visits from nobles and Titled Douluos, the grand elder told Su Yun that Su Qingxue had joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s team and become its captain.
• Su Yun refused to attend the academy and told the Su Clan to keep a low profile, build strength, and buy External Soul Bones and mental-type Soul Bones.
• Su Yun ordered the clan to find the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife and preserve it, rejecting the grand elder’s suggestion to have an Angel Martial Soul purify it.
• Su Yun revealed that he wanted the knife’s Evil Soul Master remnant soul as a Soul Ring, and decided to wait until his soul strength and cultivation were greater before attempting it.

Two years after investing in Su Yun, the Snake-People Tribe and Misty Cloud Sect witnessed him barely refine a fifth-grade pill at age eleven, while he judged his alchemy progress insufficient. Back on the Douluo Continent, he learned how rapidly the Su Clan had grown and promised to secure powerful magic cores for its future Titled Douluos.

• Su Yun refined a low-quality fifth-grade Dragon Strength Pill after using eighteen sets of ingredients, astonishing Queen Medusa and Yun Shan with his age and ability.
• Su Yun reflected that he remained a fourth-grade alchemist despite two years of intensive practice and planned to pursue fifth-grade status before attending Jia Nan Academy.
• The first elder reported that the Su Clan had thirteen Soul Douluos trained in Ring Detonation and expected to gain at least five Titled Douluos within two years.
• The first elder explained that the clan lacked enough high-level magic cores for its Soul Douluos to advance, and Su Yun promised to find hundred-thousand-year-level cores.
• The first elder revealed that he had reached Level 95 and become a Super Douluo, making the Su Clan as strong as the Xu Clan.

Su Yun refined the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife’s remnant soul into a soul ring and discovered it granted him the Evil Soul Master’s nine soul skills, though using them brought on a dangerous urge to kill. After confirming the effect faded when he stopped using the skill, he heard that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament was about to begin and the eldest young lady would compete as captain of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Is Team.

• The grand elder told Su Yun that the Su Clan had found the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife but had not located an external soul bone, and warned him that the knife held a Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master's remnant soul.
• Su Yun seized the knife and instantly refined its remnant soul, forming a black soul ring that made the grand elder fear something had gone wrong.
• Su Yun activated his second soul skill and found that the enlarged knife gave him combat instincts and access to the Evil Soul Master's nine soul skills, but also stirred an urge to kill that faded when he stopped using the skill.
• Su Yun explained that the soul ring was primarily spiritual and that he had chosen the remnant soul as a relatively safe experiment, while considering the possibility of gaining other powerful remnant souls as soul rings.
• The grand elder told Su Yun that the tournament was near and asked whether he should protect the eldest young lady, captain of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Is Team, from Shrek.

The First Elder recounted how Shrek killed his son and grandson after changing tournament rules to protect its own students, and offered to guard Su Yun’s clan delegation at the next tournament. Su Yun kept the First Elder behind, planned to take Snow Empress as a hidden trump card, and said he would call Jing Hongchen to deal with Shrek’s Super Douluo.

• The First Elder told Su Yun that Shrek had killed his son and grandson, then used its influence to change tournament rules and retaliate against anyone who killed its students.

• Su Yun agreed to bring Su Ning with him to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• After learning that Su Yun had come out, Xu Tianran recalled his injuries and his resentment toward Su Qingxue, then ordered a rank-seventy-eight Soul Saint to kill Su Yun.

Su Yun took the Snow Empress along in secret for protection on his journey to the Douluo Empire, learning that she had reached Quasi-God strength. When a Holy Spirit Cult Soul Douluo attacked him in an alley, the Snow Empress killed the assailant with a single finger, leaving a watching Soul Saint stunned.

• Su Yun asked the Snow Empress to protect him on his trip, and she agreed, revealing that her cultivation was equivalent to a Quasi-God's.
• The Snow Empress explained how Soul Beast cultivation compared with human realms, then agreed to use the name Di Xue outside the clan.
• Su Yun concealed the Snow Empress in a living Storage Soul Tool and headed alone toward the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• A Soul Saint sent by Xu Tianran followed Su Yun into a secluded alley as a Holy Spirit Cult Soul Douluo launched an attack.
• The Snow Empress appeared and froze the Soul Douluo with one finger, while the watching Soul Saint was left speechless.

Su Yun captured and killed the Soul Douluo and Soul Saint sent to ambush him, then stored their souls in his Human Emperor Banner. He suspected Crown Prince Xu Tianran might have ordered the attack and considered how to turn the incident against him as he continued toward the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

• Su Yun froze the Soul Douluo and extracted his soul into the Human Emperor Banner while Xu Tianran's Soul Saint watched in fear.
• When the Soul Saint tried to flee, the Snow Empress froze him in place, and Su Yun killed him with a punch before adding his soul to the banner.
• Su Ning mistook the banner's black smoke for evidence that it was a Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but Su Yun insisted it contained concentrated Primordial Purple Qi.
• Su Ning asked whether the crown prince had targeted the Su Clan, and Su Yun said he lacked enough information but would act if Xu Tianran was responsible.
• Su Yun suggested that spreading a rumor about Xu Tianran becoming a eunuch after the attack could prompt others to deal with the crown prince.

After a rumor spread that Crown Prince Xu Tianran had been made unable to father children, the Sun Moon Emperor confirmed it and ordered his son killed. The chapter left Xu Tianran at the emperor’s mercy as the guards carried out the order.

• The fourth prince ordered his followers to spread the rumor that Xu Tianran had become a eunuch, and other princes joined in.

• The Sun Moon Emperor denounced Xu Tianran for threatening the Xu Clan’s succession and ordered the guards to beat him to death and throw out his corpse.

Xu Tianran was executed before his Martial Soul could finish mutating, while Su Yun introduced Jing Hongchen to pills that protected him as he shattered Soul Rings for a burst of power. Jing Hongchen used the technique to refine the released Soul Power and broke through to Level 94.

• The Sun Moon Emperor ordered Xu Tianran's execution and felt relieved after learning his son had planned to give the imperial line to an outsider.
• Xu Tianran's Martial Soul began mutating as he resisted death, but two Soul Douluos killed him before the change could finish.
• Su Yun gave Jing Hongchen a jade box of pills and explained how they could protect his meridians while he shattered Soul Rings.
• Jing Hongchen tested the technique, swallowed a Pulse-Protecting Pill, and shattered his Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Soul Rings.
• Jing Hongchen refined the released Soul Power and broke through to Level 94.

• Su Yun and the others found Su Qingxue sitting on a defeated Soul Emperor, who had challenged her captaincy and lost a bet to serve as her chair for a year.

Su Qingxue demonstrated her strength by defeating the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy students, impressing Jing Hongchen. In the Dou Ling Empire, the emperor welcomed the academy’s enormous bet on itself, confident Shrek would still win the tournament.

• Su Ning defeated an opposing Soul King with his fourth Soul Skill, Cloud’s Wrathful Thunder, as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy advanced to the quarterfinals.
• The Dou Ling Empire gave Du Weilun the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s roster, drawing his attention to captain Su Qingxue and the powerful Su Ning.

• Zhang Lexuan asked Du Weilun what had happened, and he explained that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had wagered a hundred million Gold Soul Coins on winning the championship.
• Du Weilun revealed that the academy’s captain was a Five-Ring Soul King rather than a royal Soul Emperor, while its vice-captain was a Soul Emperor.

• Dai Yueheng worried that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s teachers might retaliate, but Yan Shaozhe appeared and declared that he would step in.

• Qiangu Liefeng led Shrek through its matches, and the academy reached the final against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

As the tournament finals began, Dai Yueheng challenged Su Yun to a match after realizing he might lead the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the next tournament. Su Yun considered accepting, leaving the proposed fight unresolved.

• The Dou Ling Empire's emperor entered the opening ceremony guarded by six Titled Douluos, whose strength Su Yun judged far below the Su Clan's high-level fighters.

• Dai Yueheng challenged Su Yun, hoping to assess or eliminate a future threat to Shrek Academy's chances in the next tournament.
• Su Yun considered Dai Yueheng's rank and decided that playing along might be worthwhile.

During the tournament final, Yan Shaozhe halted Zhang Lexuan’s match against Su Qingxue after seeing Su Qingxue’s extraordinary ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring. He apologized and tried to recruit her to Shrek Academy with promises of status, Soul Rings, Soul Bones, and protection for her clan, leaving Su Yun stunned.

Yan Shaozhe failed to recruit Su Qingxue and Su Yun to Shrek, and Su Qingxue began her tournament final against Zhang Lexuan. As Su Qingxue’s lightning python put Zhang Lexuan under pressure, Yan Shaozhe secretly ordered Zhang Lexuan to kill her during the match.

• Yan Shaozhe offered Su Qingxue and Su Yun benefits to join Shrek, but both refused, citing their ties to the Su Clan and doubts about Shrek’s promises.

• The Snow Empress emerged from Su Yun’s Storage Soul Tool and blocked Lunar Eclipse, prompting Su Yun to glare at Shrek and vow they would regret it.

Su Yun entered the match against Zhang Lexuan as a reserve, then used a sudden burst of speed to overwhelm her while she was weakened. Dai Yueheng watched Su Yun’s brutal assault and wondered what kind of monster he had provoked.

• The Snow Empress blocked Zhang Lexuan’s attack, and Su Qingxue left the platform after warning the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s vice-captain to surrender if he faced danger.

As Su Yun continued beating Zhang Lexuan, Shrek’s elders tried to intervene, but the Su Clan elder and Jing Hongchen blocked them. Yan Shaozhe was badly beaten by Jing Hongchen and nearly killed before Heavenly Sun Douluo rescued him and confronted Jing Hongchen.

• Yan Shaozhe recognized Jing Hongchen and fought him, but Jing Hongchen overwhelmed him and pursued him even after Yan Shaozhe revived through his Bright Phoenix Martial Soul.
• Heavenly Sun Douluo intervened just as Jing Hongchen was about to kill Yan Shaozhe, then released his level 97 Soul Power and asked Jing Hongchen to end the matter.

Jing Hongchen overpowered Heavenly Sun Douluo, then accepted the Dou Ling Empire’s offer of rare metals to end the fight. Su Yun refused Yan Shaozhe’s appeal to spare Zhang Lexuan, pointing out that she had tried to kill his sister.

• Jing Hongchen attacked Heavenly Sun Douluo with Soul Guidance Ray cannons and gained the upper hand despite Yan Shaozhe’s help.
• The Dou Ling Empire’s Titled Douluo hesitated to intervene, fearing Jing Hongchen’s strength, while Heavenly Sun Douluo pleaded for compensation instead of continuing the fight.

• Yan Shaozhe asked Su Yun to stop hurting Zhang Lexuan, but Su Yun kept his foot on her neck and challenged Yan Shaozhe’s concern for the rules.

• Su Yun killed Feng Tianyang, discovered his ten-thousand-year Torso Bone, and called for another opponent.
• After three defeats, Shrek’s remaining fighters hesitated, and Yan Shaozhe decided that continuing the match would put them at risk.

Yan Shaozhe confessed to Mu En that Shrek had lost the tournament, Huo Yuhao had captured Zhang Lexuan and Qiangu Liefeng, and Feng Tianyang had been killed. Mu En arranged to ransom the captives and convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting, then vowed that Xuan Zi would lead Shrek at the next tournament so no Shrek Seven Devils member would die again.

• Yan Shaozhe knelt before Mu En and reported Shrek Academy’s tournament loss and Zhang Lexuan’s capture.
• Yan Shaozhe explained that Huo Yuhao had defeated Zhang Lexuan, then captured Qiangu Liefeng and killed Feng Tianyang when Shrek tried to exchange captives.
• Mu En rebuked Yan Shaozhe for treating Qiangu Liefeng’s life as less important than an External Soul Bone and ordered him to arrange the ransom.
• Mu En sent Yan Shaozhe to brief Song Yunzhi and summon a Sea God Pavilion meeting, then ordered Yan Shaozhe to hand over Outer Academy affairs to Mei’er and reflect in seclusion.
