Chapter Summaries

Su Ning worried that Shrek Academy’s planned twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring would leave him far behind the stronger rings and cultivation gains he had received through the Su Clan’s Pulse-Protecting Pills. After Du Weilun learned Su Ning had innate Level 6 Soul Power, he decided the exchange student belonged in Shrek’s Outer Academy, not the Inner Academy or its core disciples.

• Su Ning compared Shrek’s Soul Ring plans with the Su Clan’s higher-age rings and regretted that he could no longer obtain Pulse-Protecting Pills.
• Su Ning asked Du Weilun whether Shrek had anything that could speed up cultivation, but Du Weilun warned him against relying on medicine.
• Du Weilun asked Su Ning about his innate Soul Power, and Su Ning answered that it was Level 6.
• Du Weilun left, privately dismissing Su Ning’s talent and deciding he should receive ordinary Outer Academy treatment rather than Inner Academy or core disciple privileges.

Su Ning failed to win Du Weilun’s support at Shrek Academy but remained there as an exchange student. Meanwhile, Su Yun arrived at Jia Nan Academy and gave Yun Shan valuable cultivation techniques and items before beginning his studies.

• Du Weilun dismissed Su Ning’s request for a cultivation aid and decided not to help him obtain a Sixth Soul Ring.
• Su Ning resolved to prove his loyalty to Shrek Academy, was assigned to Zhou Yi’s class, and was slapped by Zhou Yi for disobedience.
• Su Yun dismissed thoughts of Su Ning and traveled under Yun Shan’s protection to Jia Nan Academy, buying several sixth-tier magic cores along the way.
• After helping Su Yun register at Jia Nan Academy, Yun Shan prepared to return to the Misty Cloud Sect, but Su Yun stopped him and gave him a Storage Ring.
• Su Yun told Yun Shan that the ring held an earth class intermediate cultivation method, three Dou Techniques, a soul-strengthening item, and an item granting a spatial skill, then said he would later give him a Sect Breaking Pill.

Su Yun entered Jia Nan Academy’s Inner Academy assessment, hoping to recruit strong Da Dou Shi for the coming Fire Energy Hunting Competition. After learning about the strongest candidates, he advanced through the early matches and left the story preparing to face tougher opponents.

• Su Yun’s instructor warned him about two six-star Da Dou Shi and the five-star Three Yuwen Brothers, including the frugal and supposedly unskilled Yuwen Chengdu.
• Su Yun dismissed his instructor’s concerns and planned to use Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills to recruit useful Da Dou Shi for the Fire Energy Hunting Competition.
• Su Yun easily knocked several Dou Shi opponents off the stage because he did not want to recruit them.
• Su Yun offered a four-star Da Dou Shi a Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, then sent him flying off the platform with a hand touch.

Su Yun defeated Qin Feng and two other powerful opponents to win the Inner Academy selection tournament, then entered Jia Nan Academy’s library pavilion with four other students. Inside, he discovered a seventh-tier Green Wood Spirit Flame and a Flying Dou Technique made from a seventh-tier Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle’s wings.

• Hu Gan told a teacher to let Su Yun’s pill bribes pass for the tournament and add a rule against bribing opponents afterward.
• Su Yun used Nothingness to evade Qin Feng’s Soul-Breaking Spear, then knocked him unconscious with six punches.
• Su Yun stopped offering pills and went on to defeat another five-star Da Dou Shi and another six-star Da Dou Shi, winning the tournament.
• Three days later, Su Yun, Qin Feng, and the three Yuwen brothers met Hu Gan and entered the library pavilion after Elders Qian and Bai opened its spatial restriction.
• Su Yun found a seventh-tier Green Wood Spirit Flame and a Flying Dou Technique made from a seventh-tier Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle’s wings.

Su Yun sought to claim both the Green Wood Spirit Flame and a wing-based Flying Dou Technique from Jia Nan Academy's library, then traded the Flying Dou Technique to Qin Feng for an Earth Class Intermediate wind-attribute cultivation method. After the academy granted five days to prepare for the Inner Academy, Su Yun absorbed the Beast Flame and discovered it rapidly strengthened his External Soul Bone.

• Su Yun decided he wanted both treasures and offered to pay anyone who helped him take one out of the library.
• Qin Feng traded an Earth Class Intermediate wind-attribute cultivation method for the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle's Flying Dou Technique, and Su Yun also gave him a Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.
• Su Yun continued searching the library but found nothing else worth taking, and Jia Nan Academy gave everyone five days to prepare before entering the Inner Academy.
• Su Yun refined a fourth-grade Pulse-Protecting Pill and a fourth-grade Ice Spirit Pill, then swallowed and began refining the seventh-rank Beast Flame.
• The Green Wood Spirit Flame's power flowed into Su Yun's left-hand External Soul Bone, raising it from the hundred-year level to the thousand-year level and strengthening it further.

After absorbing the Green Wood Spirit Flame, Su Yun advanced to Six-Star Da Dou Shi and began the Fire Energy Hunting Competition as leader of a new team. He set strict terms for recruiting other new students and prepared to challenge the Inner Academy seniors while keeping his eyes on the Inner Academy.

• Su Yun completed his breakthrough to Six-Star Da Dou Shi and entered the Inner Academy forest with four teammates for the Fire Energy Hunting Competition.
• Yuwen Chengji and Yuwen Chengdu offered Su Yun medicinal ingredients in exchange for three Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills, and Su Yun agreed to lead the brothers and Qin Feng.
• Su Yun promised his teammates a large share of the Fire Energy they stole and offered Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills as rewards for following his orders.
• After two days of avoiding the Inner Academy seniors, Su Yun told Qin Feng to recruit new students who would follow his rules, and refused to offer rewards other than Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills.
• Su Yun sent his teammates to gather recruits, then lay in a tree and watched the Inner Academy.

Su Yun used Soul Tool artillery to overwhelm the Inner Academy seniors in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, then entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate. He discovered that the Snow Empress's Snow Pill suppressed the Fallen Heart Flame's energy in his body.

• Su Yun gathered the Da Dou Shi freshmen, promised them Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills, and taught them to use Soul Tool artillery emplacements.
• The freshmen ambushed the seniors with repeated artillery barrages, wearing down the Black Fiend Team and then the White Fiend Team until the competition ended.
• Su Qian considered banning the freshmen's unusual weapons but decided to let the competition stand and allow the seniors to learn from the defeat.
• Su Yun won an Azure Fire Crystal Card, collected the other students' Fire Energy as agreed, and rested before heading to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
• Su Yun cultivated on the tower's first floor for twelve hours and found no trace of Fire Energy in his eyes or body.
• Su Yun discovered that the Snow Empress's Snow Pill was suppressing the interfering Fire Energy within him.

Su Yun used the Snow Pill to cultivate in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower until he advanced from Da Dou Shi to Dou Ling, then had the Snow Empress restore the nearly depleted pill. Back at the Su Clan, he learned that the clan had gained three Titled Douluo and that its grand elder had become headmaster of the newly established Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

• Su Yun realized the Snow Pill was suppressing the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower's fire poison, persuaded the elder to let him descend, and chose to cultivate on the fifth floor.
• After two and a half months of cultivation, Su Yun advanced from Da Dou Shi to Dou Ling, then searched for Zi Yan before returning to the Su Clan.
• Su Yun asked the Snow Empress for another Snow Pill, and she replenished the one that had nearly melted.
• A Su Clan elder told Su Yun that three elders had become Titled Douluo, bringing the clan's total to six.
• The elder explained that the emperor had founded the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and that the grand elder had won the headmaster position, awaiting Su Yun's approval for promising students.

Su Yun learned that the Su Clan’s Grand Elder had become dean of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and that the academy had attracted three promising students: Xiao Xiao, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo. At the dean’s office, Yan Shaozhe tried to recruit the girls for Shrek by promising that a Level 98 Titled Douluo would help them hunt their eighth and ninth Soul Rings.

• Su Yun questioned whether the Grand Elder’s appointment as dean would draw too much attention, and a clansman explained why the Grand Elder’s Level 93 strength was unremarkable in the Sun Moon Empire.
• A clansman told Su Yun that the academy’s new admissions policy had attracted three potential recruits: Xiao Xiao, whose Martial Soul was the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, who shared a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Su Yun decided to visit the three students and discuss how much the Su Clan should offer to recruit them.
• Su Yun arrived at the dean’s office and mocked Yan Shaozhe for returning to the Sun Moon Empire after Jing Hongchen had beaten him.
• Yan Shaozhe saw the girls’ interest in Su Yun and offered to have a Level 98 Titled Douluo lead their hunts for their eighth and ninth Soul Rings if they joined Shrek.

Yan Shaozhe and the Su Clan grand elder competed to recruit Xiao Xiao and her friends, each promising exceptional resources and Soul Rings. The chapter ended with Yan Shaozhe accusing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy of making empty promises.

• Su Yun challenged Yan Shaozhe about why he had come to the Sun Moon Empire, and the Su Clan elder explained that Yan Shaozhe wanted to inspect the students and encourage future exchanges.
• Su Yun asked Xiao Xiao to show her Martial Souls, and Yan Shaozhe revealed his interest in recruiting her because she had Twin Martial Souls.
• Yan Shaozhe offered Xiao Xiao Inner Court admission, high-quality Soul Bones, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and the chance to succeed him as dean, while also promising places for Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.
• The Su Clan grand elder countered with matching offers for Xiao Xiao and generous future Soul Ring guarantees for Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.
• Yan Shaozhe dismissed the grand elder's promises and asked Xiao Xiao whether she could tell which side was making empty promises.

Xiao Xiao chose Shrek Academy over the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, while the Grand Elder tried to recruit Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo with Soul Bones, whale rubber, and an offer to become their teacher. The sisters were tempted by his offer as Yan Shaozhe looked down on his methods and Xiao Xiao trusted that Shrek would provide her even greater benefits.

• After weighing the academies’ resources and her uncertain future with Su Yun, Xiao Xiao chose Shrek Academy.
• The Grand Elder failed to change Xiao Xiao’s mind, then offered Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones and personal discipleship.
• Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo hesitated over joining Shrek when the Grand Elder promised to help awaken their Body Martial Souls.
• Yan Shaozhe insulted the sisters’ talent, and the Grand Elder answered by ordering whale rubber and Soul Bones brought for them and promising to help them hunt their first Soul Rings.
• Xiao Xiao briefly envied the sisters’ rewards, then reassured herself that Shrek would offer her more, while Yan Shaozhe disdained the Grand Elder for handing out resources too easily.

Xiao Xiao chose to leave with Yan Shaozhe for Shrek Academy, while the Sun Moon Empire arranged joint classes with Shrek teachers at its royal academy. After Yan Shaozhe gave a formal address, he called Han Ruoruo and Su Yun to spar first.

• Yan Shaozhe promised Xiao Xiao better soul armaments, while Su Yun declined to spend the Su Clan’s resources to recruit her.

Su Yun entered the arena after the Sun Moon Emperor appointed Yan Shaozhe acting dean, while the Grand Elder considered the Su Clan’s growing strength. Yan Shaozhe arranged for Han Ruoruo to spar with Su Yun in hopes of easing Zhang Lexuan’s fear, and Han Ruoruo faced him as Zhang Lexuan watched anxiously.

• A Titled Douluo announced that the emperor had appointed Yan Shaozhe acting dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy for the day.
• The Grand Elder suggested that the Su Clan could now exterminate the imperial family, but Su Yun stayed silent and decided to wait until after the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
• Yan Shaozhe explained that he had arranged a match to help Zhang Lexuan overcome her fear of Su Yun, and he chose Han Ruoruo to fight first.
• Yan Shaozhe warned both sides not to injure or kill their opponents, ruling that anyone who tried to kill would lose.
• Zhang Lexuan warned Han Ruoruo to be careful, and Han Ruoruo reassured her before facing Su Yun.

Su Yun faced Han Ruoruo in a match at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, where his unusual Soul Rings and concealed strength astonished the onlookers. He deliberately accepted Han Ruoruo’s attack and left the match, prompting Zhang Lexuan to question whether she and Han Ruoruo had treated him too harshly.

• Han Ruoruo revealed her level sixty-nine cultivation and six Soul Rings, while Su Yun claimed to be level thirty despite displaying one purple and one black Soul Ring.
• Han Ruoruo trapped Su Yun with her Golden Rope Cage, but Su Yun used Ghost Possession to pass through it and rush at her.
• Han Ruoruo used Golden Rope Restraint to set up her Golden Rope Transfer, then struck Su Yun in the back when he attacked.
• Su Yun let Han Ruoruo’s attack hit him so he could lose quickly and avoid facing more opponents, and Su Qingxue carried him away for treatment.
• Zhang Lexuan watched Su Qingxue carry Su Yun away and asked Han Ruoruo whether they had gone too far.

Yan Shaozhe took Xiao Xiao from the Sun Moon Empire to Shrek Academy after arranging for her to become a core disciple. Xiao Xiao arrived expecting the promised Soul Bones, but Shrek's teacher knew nothing about them.

• Zhang Lexuan told Han Ruoruo that she was still somewhat afraid of Su Yun but no longer saw him as an overwhelming threat.
• Yan Shaozhe advised Zhang Lexuan not to sympathize with enemies and urged her to contact Su Yun and Su Qingxue's side, possibly to recruit them into Shrek.

• At Shrek, Yan Shaozhe promised Xiao Xiao immediate core disciple status and left her in the Outer Court to complete enrollment.
• Xiao Xiao asked a Shrek teacher when she would receive her Soul Bones, but the teacher said Yan Shaozhe had only mentioned core disciple treatment.

Xiao Xiao asked a Shrek teacher about the soul bones Yan Shaozhe had promised, but he told her she would need to prove her talent and contribute to the academy before receiving them. He arranged whale rubber to help raise the age of her second soul ring, while Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo’s soul-ring limits were measured at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

• Xiao Xiao reminded her teacher that Yan Shaozhe had promised her soul bones, and the teacher reprimanded her for seeking rewards before proving herself.
• Xiao Xiao revealed her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Ninephoenix Worshipping Flute martial souls, but the teacher maintained that she needed to earn Shrek’s rewards through talent and contribution.

• At Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo used a soul tool that displayed a maximum first-soul-ring age of 912 years for each of them.

The grand elder offered Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo clan resources and promised each a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as a ninth ring, securing their agreement to join the Su Clan. He then summoned Mu Yunyao, an eighteen-year-old Holy Angel Soul Master, and Su Yun recognized her as Qian Renxue when she entered the office.

• The grand elder assessed the Lan sisters’ strength and offered them Su Clan resources to obtain thousand-year first Soul Rings.
• After the grand elder promised each sister a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as her ninth ring, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo agreed to join the Su Clan.

• Su Yun considered recruiting Mu Yunyao to strengthen the Su Clan against the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire’s Imperial Family.
• A blonde woman entered the headmaster’s office, and Su Yun recognized her as Qian Renxue and asked if she had come back to life.

Su Yun offered to recruit Mu Yunyao into the Su Clan, and she negotiated for powerful future Soul Rings. The chapter ended with Su Yun urging her to demand a hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring.

• Su Yun mistook Mu Yunyao for Qian Renxue, and she angrily rejected the comparison.
• Su Yun apologized and asked Mu Yunyao what price she wanted to join his clan.
• The grand elder introduced Su Yun as the Su Clan’s young clan leader, and Mu Yunyao decided she would accept the offer.
• Mu Yunyao demanded a Seventh Soul Ring of at least forty thousand years, an Eighth of at least seventy thousand, and a Ninth of at least eighty-five thousand.
• Su Yun surprised Mu Yunyao by telling her to ask for a hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring instead.

Mu Yunyao joined the Su Clan in exchange for support and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, while Su Yun spent a year cultivating at Jia Nan Academy and then met the newly arrived Zi Yan. The chapter left Su Yun winning Zi Yan over with a magically made lollipop.

• Mu Yunyao swore loyalty to the Su Clan after Su Yun promised her a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, medicines, and captured Evil Soul Masters to cultivate against.
• Su Yun returned to the Dou Qi Continent and spent a year tempering his body with the Fallen Heart Flame, reaching Peak Dou Ling but falling short of Dou Wang.
• Su Yun decided to ask Great Elder Su Qian for help accessing Heart Flame Body Tempering, relying on his reputation as a Sixth-Grade Alchemist.
• Su Yun entered Su Qian's office and found him holding Zi Yan, who was protesting being enrolled at Jia Nan Academy.
• Su Yun made Zi Yan a medicinal lollipop, won her over, and cleaned her face before pinching her cheek.

Su Yun asked Su Qian to let him use Jia Nan Academy's Heart Flame Body Tempering to advance to Dou Wang, offering to resolve the fallen heart flame's rampages by making it produce a child flame. Su Qian agreed to consider the plan, leaving the elders set to supervise when Su Yun acted on the flame.

• Su Yun won Zi Yan over as a follower with more lollipops, and Su Qian brought her to the academy while wondering about her absent parents.
• Su Yun told Su Qian he wanted to use Heart Flame Body Tempering to advance to Dou Wang, but Su Qian initially refused because of academy rules.
• Su Yun revealed he could resolve the fallen heart flame's rampages, and explained that he intended to make it produce a child flame.
• Su Qian said the academy might give Su Yun the original fallen heart flame and owe him a favor if the child flame could be nurtured into another fallen heart flame.
• Su Yun said he would need to reach Dou Wang or Dou Emperor and could make the child flame nearly as strong as an infant fallen heart flame.
• Su Qian agreed to let Su Yun try, provided he and the other elders supervised the fallen heart flame.
