Chapter Summaries

Qian Chen spared the Scarlet King after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion offered to lead him and Zhang Lexuan to a powerful Soul Beast suitable for Zhang Lexuan. As Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan recovered from their injuries, members of the Holy Spirit Cult arrived and targeted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Scarlet King.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tried to stop Zhang Lexuan from killing the Scarlet King, and Qian Chen prepared to take the Scarlet King's Soul Bone instead of risking Zhang Lexuan absorbing his Soul Ring.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion offered the Moon Shadow Demon Dragon, a hundred-and-twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast, in exchange for the Scarlet King's life, and Qian Chen accepted.
• Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan left for the Moon Shadow Demon Dragon's lair, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stayed behind with the injured Scarlet King to seek Bi Ji's help.
• After checking that the Scarlet King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had not followed them, Qian Chen spat blood, and Zhang Lexuan realized he had been injured during the fight.
• The Holy Spirit Cult's Eighth Revered Elder and Ninth and Tenth arrived and announced their intention to capture the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Scarlet King.

The Ninth and Tenth Offerings trapped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and others inside Desperate Situation Lockdown while Ten Thousand Spirits Douluo battled the Scarlet King. Qian Chen broke through the barrier to free the Auspicious Beast, then joined Zhang Lexuan in confronting the pursuing Evil Soul Masters.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion fled as the Ninth and Tenth Offerings used Desperate Situation Lockdown to seal a ten-kilometer area, while Ten Thousand Spirits Douluo summoned souls to attack the Scarlet King.
• Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan found themselves trapped by the colorless barrier, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion ran into them after failing to summon Di Tian for help.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked Qian Chen for protection and told him that the Evil Soul Masters had overwhelmed the Scarlet King.
• Qian Chen used Absolute Purification to open a hole in the barrier, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion escaped while Zhang Lexuan equipped Imperial Armor and chose to stay with him.
• Qian Chen charged the pursuing Evil Soul Masters and struck the first attacker, a Soul Saint with a Bloodthirsty Crow Martial Soul, with Killing Sword Qi.

Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan escaped the Holy Spirit Cult's trap with the Scarlet King by hiding in Electrolux's Undead Demiplane. Di Tian shattered Desperate Situation Lockdown, killed the Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos, and captured the surviving Enshrined to question them.

• Qian Chen realized the Evil Soul Masters were not being suppressed by his holy light and tried to flee with Zhang Lexuan, but the Ninth and Tenth Enshrined surrounded them.
• The Enshrined explained that Desperate Situation Lockdown nullified Qian Chen's holy light, while Electrolux warned that Ten Thousand Spirits Douluo's banner could control souls.
• Electrolux opened a Gate of the Undead, and Zhang Lexuan used Capture to bring the battered Scarlet King with them into the Undead Demiplane before Electrolux closed the gate.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion called on Di Tian to rescue the Scarlet King, and Di Tian shattered Desperate Situation Lockdown with Dragon God Claw.
• Di Tian killed the Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos and gravely injured the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Enshrined; the Ninth died in his fall, while Di Tian demanded answers from the other two.

Di Tian failed to find the Scarlet King after it vanished with Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan, who had escaped into the Undead Demiplane. As the dying Scarlet King offered its Soul Ring and Soul Bone to Zhang Lexuan in exchange for vengeance against the Evil Soul Masters, Electrolux asked Qian Chen to wait.

• Di Tian crushed the Eighth and Tenth Consecrators, ordered the Myriad Demon King to search for the Scarlet King, and took the Auspicious Beast back to the core region.

• Qian Chen explained the demiplane to Zhang Lexuan and told the dying Scarlet King that it had escaped the Evil Soul Masters' hunt.
• Qian Chen asked the Scarlet King for its Soul Bone, and the Scarlet King offered Zhang Lexuan its Soul Ring and Soul Bone in exchange for killing Evil Soul Masters.
• Zhang Lexuan accepted the Scarlet King's offer after Qian Chen agreed, but Electrolux told Qian Chen to wait because he had something to say.

Electrolux guided the Scarlet King's sacrifice to create a Soul Spirit for Zhang Lexuan, preserving the Scarlet King's consciousness and strengthening Zhang Lexuan's Soul Rings. He ended by warning Zhang Lexuan and the Scarlet King to keep his origins secret.

• Electrolux warned Zhang Lexuan and the Scarlet King not to reveal that he came from another world.

Electrolux helped Zhang Lexuan obtain nine Soul Rings and restore the Scarlet King as her Soul Spirit, and she absorbed its Head Soul Bone, gaining the Three-Headed Exquisiteness skill. After spending about three days with Qian Chen in the Undead Demiplane, she prepared to return to the Douluo Continent, while Electrolux gave Qian Chen the completed Soul Spirit Method to present as a family secret art.

• Electrolux warned Zhang Lexuan and the Scarlet King to keep his presence secret, then Qian Chen returned him to Zhang Lexuan's Sea of Consciousness.
• Zhang Lexuan revealed her nine Soul Rings, and the Scarlet King returned as a Soul Power body bound to her by a Soul Contract.

• Zhang Lexuan discovered that Three-Headed Exquisiteness tripled her mental defense and made focused tasks three times as efficient.
• After spending roughly three days together in the Undead Demiplane, Qian Chen asked Electrolux about returning, and Electrolux gave him the completed Soul Spirit Method to pass off as a family secret art.

Electrolux passed the Soul Spirit Method to Qian Chen and warned him that the Tang Sect cultivation methods had been deliberately damaged. After returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan met Di Tian, who thanked them for saving the Auspicious Beast and asked where the Scarlet King had gone.

• Electrolux gave Qian Chen the Soul Spirit Method and said he planned to return to Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness once he finished refining the Tang Sect methods.

• Di Tian became enraged by Zhang Lexuan’s three red Soul Rings, but Qian Chen and the Scarlet King explained that all three came from the Scarlet King as Soul Spirit Soul Rings.

• Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan departed with the Soul Bone Di Tian had given them, then stopped in the thousand-year Soul Beast zone to rest.
• Qian Chen identified the cyan Soul Bone as likely a wind-attribute Head Soul Bone, and Zhang Lexuan summoned the Scarlet King to ask what Soul Beast it came from and how old it was.

Qian Chen brought Zhang Lexuan to Watch Valley and revealed that he was descended from Spirit Hall’s Angel Clan and intended to restore Spirit Hall. Zhang Lexuan agreed to stay with him if he accepted her three demands, then learned that Tang San had destroyed Slaughter City.

• The Scarlet King identified the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf King’s head soul bone as a 200,000-year-old dual-attribute bone, and Qian Chen decided to give it to Feng Luan.
• Qian Chen took Zhang Lexuan to Watch Valley and told her about Angel Mountain Manor and Angel Hall.
• Qian Chen entered Zhang Lexuan’s Sea of Consciousness and admitted that he was from Spirit Hall’s Qian Family and wanted to restore Spirit Hall.
• Zhang Lexuan demanded that Qian Chen survive if his restoration effort failed, preserve Spirit Hall’s original purpose, and deal decisively with evil soul masters; Qian Chen agreed.
• Qian Chen revealed that Tang San had destroyed Slaughter City, and Zhang Lexuan reacted with fury because evil soul masters had killed her family.

After Qian Chen revealed Tang San’s role in unleashing Evil Soul Masters, Zhang Lexuan accepted his account, joined his cause, and learned about his hidden Divine Realm Soul Rings and healing abilities. The two flew to Angel Mountain Manor, where an alarm prompted Feng Luan to prepare defenses against the unidentified Titled Douluos approaching overhead.

• Qian Chen told Zhang Lexuan that Tang San destroyed Slaughter City to keep others from obtaining its legacy, and Zhang Lexuan’s faith in Tang San collapsed.
• Zhang Lexuan believed Qian Chen’s oath, pledged to support him and avenge her family, and agreed with his plans for Shrek Academy.

• Zhang Lexuan forgave Qian Chen for not saving Mu En, and the couple flew together toward Angel Mountain Manor.
• The manor’s alarm sounded as Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan entered Watch Valley, and Feng Luan ordered Bing Ling and Pan Long to ready the Giant Linked Soul Guidance Ray against the two unknown Titled Douluos.

Angel Mountain Manor prepared its enormous Soul Guidance Ray Turret to stop Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan, then stood down when it recognized Qian Chen. Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan revealed that they were both Titled Douluo and reassured the manor’s members before they returned to their duties.

• Pan Long ordered Angel Mountain Manor’s members and Qian Guyi’s commoner students to channel Soul Power into Linked Soul Tool Charging Terminals.

• At Angel Hall, Qian Chen gave Feng Luan a superb-quality Gale Twin-Headed Wolf King Head Soul Bone aged over two hundred thousand years.

Qian Chen rewarded Feng Luan and Pan Long for their service, helping them absorb a Head Soul Bone and a Dragon Core. After Feng Luan advanced to Soul Douluo, he revealed his new Soul Bone Skills and proposed hunting a hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant for his Eighth Soul Ring.

• Qian Chen gave Feng Luan the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf King's Head Soul Bone, and Feng Luan accepted it after the others urged him to.
• Qian Chen wounded Pan Long so he could absorb the Dragon Core, which began healing his injuries and could transform his body.

• Feng Luan asked Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan to help him hunt a hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant in Evil Demon Forest for his Eighth Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Qian Chen and his companions killed a hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant and Feng Luan absorbed its Soul Ring, reaching rank eighty-five. As Feng Luan, Bing Ling, and Pan Long pledged to help rebuild Spirit Hall, Qian Chen gave the Evil Eye Tyrant's Head Soul Bone to Ma Xiaotao to help her control her Evil Fire.

• Qian Chen, Zhang Lexuan, and Feng Luan borrowed a Soul Ring Storage Soul Tool, killed the Evil Eye Tyrant, and stored its Soul Ring and corpse before its father could catch them.

• Bing Ling placed the Soul Bone in Ma Xiaotao's hands and asked whether she would stand with them as they rebuilt Spirit Hall.

After Watch Valley’s leaders crushed several open attackers, Qian Chen refused to retaliate against those secretly targeting commoners, leaving his reasons unexplained.

• Watch Valley opened free Martial Soul Awakening Halls across Star Luo City and nearby cities, while healing Soul Masters began treating commoners without charge.
• Bing Ling, Feng Luan, and Pan Long destroyed several noble families and factions that attacked Watch Valley members or blocked commoners from seeking help.
• When nobles and factions secretly threatened and harmed commoners, Pan Long, Feng Luan, and Bing Ling offered to retaliate, but Qian Chen said they should not interfere as long as Watch Valley’s people were left alone, leaving them and Zhang Lexuan asking why.

Qian Chen established strict rules for Watch Valley’s Awakening Hall and left Pan Long in charge with an improved hammer technique. After returning to Shrek, he learned Huo Yuhao’s visit to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had gone smoothly, but Wang Dong’s unexpected appearance left Zhang Lexuan stunned.

• Qian Chen ordered Pan Long to build an Awakening Hall that served commoners for free and to kill anyone who attacked Watch Valley’s people or endangered visitors within ten kilometers of the hall.

• Wang Dong appeared on the stairs and greeted Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan, who were shocked by how she looked.

Wang Dong'er returned to Shrek Academy as a girl with waist-length hair and unexpectedly reached Soul Elder rank, disrupting Qian Chen's plans for her. After Huo Yuhao praised Ning Tian and Wu Feng, Wang Dong'er angrily snapped at him and left, while Qian Chen resolved to reconsider how to deal with her.

• Wang Dong'er revealed that her full name was Wang Dong'er and explained that her fathers had let her resume dressing as a girl because she was safe on Sea God Island.
• Qian Chen examined Wang Dong'er and discovered she had reached Soul Elder rank, then questioned her about her rapid progress and whether she had taken pills.
• Wang Dong'er said she had barely cultivated, had taken no pills, and had reached rank thirty-one after her Eldest Dad brought her a Soul Beast.
• Wang Dong'er told Huo Yuhao she was no longer afraid of Ning Tian and Wu Feng, and Huo Yuhao defended them as nice people.
• Wang Dong'er angrily snapped at Huo Yuhao, apologized to Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan, and went to cultivate; Qian Chen decided to rethink how to remove her.
