Chapter Summaries

Chu Feng learned that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s immortal herbs could not survive outside it and would take five years to mature from seeds planted inside. With no way to accelerate their growth, he assigned the researchers more staff and left the replication project to continue.

• Chu Feng warned Tang San and the others that their exposed Battle Armor could attract attention, ordered the organization to watch for threats, and urged the group to travel directly to Sunset Forest.
• Chu Feng reached Sunset Forest with his companions and ordered guards to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• The project leader reported that transplanted immortal herbs withered outside the well and that herbs planted from seeds inside it had only sprouted.
• Chu Feng asked whether soul guidance technology could speed up the immortal herbs’ growth, but the project leader and Tang San had no solution.
• Chu Feng assigned the project leader more staff and dismissed him while Ma Hongjun and the others admitted they had not understood the discussion.

Chu Feng led Tang San and the others to seek compatible Ten-Thousand-Year Contract Soul Beasts for their fourth Soul Rings, explaining how contracts could strengthen them and what limits they carried. After a fruitless search, they camped for the night, where Chu Feng warned them that too many contracts could strain their spiritual power and that older Soul Beasts could provide multiple Soul Rings.

• Chu Feng told the group to seek Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and explained that Contract Soul Beasts had to match their existing attributes.
• Dai Mubai worried that his fourth Soul Ring was only nine thousand years old, and Chu Feng said God Trials could raise Soul Ring ages later.
• Ning Rongrong asked the Starlight Spirit Deer whether it would accept a companion, and the other Contract Soul Beasts also agreed to their partners forming new contracts.
• The group searched for half a day without finding a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, then made camp and discussed how Contract Soul Beasts could serve as powerful helpers.
• Chu Feng explained that older Contract Soul Beasts could provide multiple Soul Rings, reducing the need to seek new Soul Beasts at higher ranks.
• Chu Feng warned that maintaining too many Contract Soul Beast connections could overwhelm their spiritual power and remove the beasts’ attribute bonuses if those connections broke.

A masked Soul Sage tried to seize Chu Feng and the Shrek Seven Devils’ Soul Tool Armor, but two hidden Soul Douluos defeated and captured the attacker. The Soul Sage killed themself before revealing the organization’s identity, and Tang San suggested they return to Shrek Academy.

• Chu Feng detected someone in the forest, and the Shrek Seven Devils put on their Battle Armor as a masked Soul Sage emerged and demanded it.
• The Soul Sage revealed their own Soul Tool Armor, dismissed Chu Feng’s warnings about Shrek Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and attacked with an enlarged scythe.
• Chu Feng summoned two hidden Soul Douluos, who blocked the scythe, shattered the attacker’s breastplate, and seized them.
• Chu Feng ordered the Soul Sage unmasked and questioned, but the captive refused to talk, swallowed poison, and died.
• Tang San warned that the organization might send more attackers and suggested returning to Shrek Academy.

Chu Feng reassured Tang San and the others after two Soul Douluos protected them from an assassin, and he planned to get the organization’s help finding suitable Soul Beasts. Meanwhile, the black-robed organization investigated Scythe’s death and considered how to expand its forces, ending with Nightmare’s failed proposal to recruit prisoners from Slaughter City.

• Chu Feng told Tang San and the others that they were safe, and the two Soul Douluos took Scythe’s corpse away for the organization to study.
• Chu Feng planned to have the organization help the group search for suitable Soul Beasts before everyone returned to their tents.
• A black-robed woman reported Scythe’s death to the organization’s leader and said Scythe had been carrying out an infiltration mission in the Heaven Dou Empire.
• The leader ordered the group to investigate Scythe’s death, recover his Soul Tools, and recruit more powerful Soul Masters without alerting Spirit Hall.
• Nightmare proposed recruiting powerful prisoners from Slaughter City, but the leader struck him into a wall and warned that provoking the King of Slaughter would be disastrous.
• Nightmare defended his recruitment efforts, but the leader complained that the Titled Douluo he had brought in was only a drunkard who did nothing but drink and talk about revenge.

Spirit Hall’s leaders debated how to obtain Soul Tool Armor from Heaven Dou and Shrek Academy while pursuing the organization behind it. Qian Daoliu chose to seek a trade with Shrek and ordered surveillance to stop Bibi Dong from attacking the academy.

• The black-robed leader ordered the organization to send its drunken Titled Douluo away and warned members to keep their identities secret.
• Bibi Dong rejected Gui Mei’s proposal to seize Heaven Dou’s Soul Tool Armor, ordering Spirit Hall to pressure Heaven Dou and quietly monitor Shrek Academy instead.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo revealed that he had taken a suit of Soul Tool Armor from Heaven Dou, and Qian Daoliu identified it as matching the armor Spirit Hall had found before.
• Qian Daoliu ordered Spirit Hall to capture Wang Gang to learn about his organization, while Golden Crocodile Douluo argued that the armor’s power made its technology important.
• Qian Daoliu rejected attacking Shrek Academy and proposed trading for its armor or manufacturing techniques, then told Golden Crocodile Douluo to watch Bibi Dong and her elders.

Qian Daoliu ordered Qian Renxue to pause her search and visit Shrek Academy to arrange a trade for Soul Tool Armor. In Sunset Forest, the Shrek Seven Devils fought a thirty-thousand-year Swamp Thorn Alligator Snapping Turtle as a candidate for Ning Rongrong’s fourth Soul Ring, but Zhu Zhuqing was hurt when the beast reflected her attack.

• Qian Daoliu told Golden Crocodile Douluo to have Qian Renxue set aside her search, visit Shrek Academy, and handle arrangements to trade for Soul Tool Armor.
• Two days later, Chu Feng watched the Shrek Seven Devils battle a thirty-thousand-year Swamp Thorn Alligator Snapping Turtle intended for Ning Rongrong’s fourth Soul Ring.
• Tang San and the others attacked the turtle for three hours, but its tough shell and damage reflection kept them from defeating it.
• Zhu Zhuqing struck the turtle’s shell with Hell White Claw, but the turtle treated her attacks like a massage.
• Zhu Zhuqing unleashed Netherworld Sky-Rending Slash, triggering the turtle’s damage reflection and leaving her in pain.
• Dai Mubai caught Zhu Zhuqing and gave her a Recovery Sausage.

Zhu Zhuqing and the Shrek team failed to damage the Swamp Thorn Alligator Snapping Turtle, so Chu Feng suggested using unconventional methods. Tang San used Lost Powder on two monkeys to frighten the turtle into surrendering, threatening to pair it with a wild sow if it refused.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai attacked the turtle with Ning Rongrong's boost, but its shell and reflecting spikes kept them from hurting it.
• The Shrek team admitted they could not break through the turtle's defenses, and Chu Feng told Tang San to use the organization's drugs and hidden weapons.
• Tang San asked Dai Mubai to catch a wild boar and Zhu Zhuqing to find two monkeys, then used Lost Powder on the monkeys in front of the turtle.
• Tang San threatened to use the powder on the turtle and pair it with the wild sow, making the turtle roar in alarm.

Tang San and the others forced the Swamp Thorn Alligator Snapping Turtle to submit, and Chu Feng helped Ning Rongrong contract it. Ning Rongrong tested her new defensive Soul Skill, revealing that it reflected damage onto the attacker.

• Ma Hongjun dried the swamp while Tang San and the others trapped the Swamp Thorn Alligator Snapping Turtle and blocked its escape.
• Tang San threatened the turtle with Lost Powder until it submitted and agreed to become Ning Rongrong's Contract Soul Beast.
• Chu Feng helped Ning Rongrong complete the contract ritual, making the thirty-thousand-year-old turtle her Contract Soul Beast.
• Ning Rongrong used her fourth Soul Skill to shield Xiao Wu and explained that the defense could stack with other defensive skills.
• Ning Rongrong urged Ma Hongjun to punch Xiao Wu, and the reflected impact hurt Ma Hongjun instead.
• Ning Rongrong promised to introduce Ma Hongjun to senior sisters at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
