• Dai Mubai woke in a shabby cabin and absorbed the original owner's memories, discovering he had transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent.
• Dai Mubai welcomed his new status as the Star Luo Empire's third prince and his engagement to Zhu Zhuqing, while recognizing the danger posed by the imperial succession contest and his older brother Dai Weisi.
• Dai Mubai vowed to live well and rewrite the fate of the original owner, whose despair had led him to flee to the Heaven Dou Empire and indulge in pleasure.
• Dai Mubai recalled that only Ma Hongjun and Oscar were currently at Shrek Academy, while Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had yet to arrive.
• Dai Mubai estimated that about two years remained before the Shrek Academy storyline began and resolved to strengthen himself rather than assume the original story's outcome would repeat.

Dai Mubai resolved to raise his Soul Power to the Soul King realm and defeat Dai Weisi in the Star Luo succession duel, then discovered that a Favorability System had bound itself to him. The system offered treasure chests for earning targets’ favor, giving him a new way to pursue his goal.

• Dai Mubai recognized that he could not rely on the original story or Tang San to survive the future duel against Dai Weisi.
• Dai Mubai calculated that he had a little over four years to raise his Soul Power from level 27 to level 50 and defeat Dai Weisi at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

• A mechanical voice announced that the system had bound itself to Dai Mubai, and he reacted with surprise and excitement.
• The Favorability System explained that reaching 80% favorability with a target granted a Common Treasure Chest and reaching 100% granted an Ultimate Treasure Chest, and it could also display information and provide storage space.

Dai Mubai learned how the Favorability System worked and decided to rely on himself rather than depend on it. Its beginner's gift pack contained an Innate Full Soul Pill and a Second Martial Soul Immediate Draw Token, whose effects he examined.

• Dai Mubai learned that his system space held 27 cubic meters and would expand with his Soul Power cultivation.
• Dai Mubai considered the Favorability System a useful aid but resolved to change his fate through his own efforts.
• The system issued Dai Mubai a beginner's gift pack after binding to him.
• Dai Mubai opened the gift pack and found an Innate Full Soul Pill and a Second Martial Soul Immediate Draw Token.
• Dai Mubai used his spiritual power to learn that the pill could grant Innate Full Soul Power and the token could draw a Second Martial Soul.

Dai Mubai examined the [Innate Full Soul Pill] from his system gift pack and recognized that it could raise his talent to the exceptionally rare innate full Soul Power. He planned to use the boost to accelerate his cultivation while keeping it secret from his rivals.

• Dai Mubai learned that innate full Soul Power was extraordinarily rare and that Tang San and Xiao Wu had gained it through special circumstances, while Oscar was the only Shrek Seven Devil with truly innate talent of that level.
• Dai Mubai recalled that his original innate Soul Power was level 7, below Dai Weisi's level 8 and his deceased second brother's level 9, and that Dai Weisi had allowed him to leave the Star Luo Empire because he posed little threat.
• Dai Mubai considered how Zhu Zhuqing's level 7 talent and the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill made her a target when she fled the Star Luo Empire.
• Dai Mubai decided that he would not publicize his new talent, since doing so could provoke Dai Weisi and other enemies, but the pill would help him reach level 23 within four years.
• The author added a note explaining the chosen innate Soul Power levels and asking readers for suggestions about future pairings and female characters.

Dai Mubai learned that using the Second Martial Soul Random Draw Token before the Innate Full Soul Pill would let the pill improve both his First Martial Soul and his randomly drawn Second Martial Soul while reducing the loss of Soul Power. He followed the system’s advice and entered a vast starry world to make the draw.

• Dai Mubai considered the Innate Full Soul Pill and the Second Martial Soul Random Draw Token, then asked the system which one to use first.
• The system explained that merging with a Second Martial Soul would consume Soul Power and recommended drawing and merging with it before taking the pill.
• Dai Mubai realized that using the pill first would miss out on improving his Second Martial Soul and could leave him with unnecessary losses.
• Dai Mubai used the Second Martial Soul Random Draw Token and found himself before an enormous wheel displaying creatures and objects from across the myriad heavens and worlds.

Dai Mubai learned that his Second Martial Soul had to be compatible with his White Tiger Martial Soul, then spun the system’s wheel hoping to draw a powerful creature or weapon. He drew Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, and its fusion began with intense physical pain.

• Dai Mubai asked the system why the Second Martial Soul wheel mostly featured felines and tiger-related objects, and the system explained that the draw had to suit his White Tiger Martial Soul.
• Dai Mubai commanded the wheel to spin and watched it pass the Geng Metal White Tiger and other powerful options.
• Dai Mubai closed his eyes to calm himself, then reopened them to find that the pointer had stopped on Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul.
• The system announced that fusion with Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul was beginning, and Dai Mubai felt intense pain as it was forced into him.

Dai Mubai endured the painful fusion with his second Martial Soul, gaining Twin Martial Souls but losing his Soul Power, Soul Rings, and Soul Skills. He took the Innate Full Soul Pill, which restored and strengthened his body, and then asked the system to display his information again.

• Dai Mubai endured the agony and weakness of fusing with the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul while keeping his Twin Martial Souls secret.
• Dai Mubai checked his information panel and discovered that his Soul Power had fallen to Level 0 and his Soul Rings and Soul Skills had vanished.
• Dai Mubai took the Innate Full Soul Pill, which improved his aptitude, strengthened his foundation, and rapidly restored his body.
• Dai Mubai felt the pill's effects finish and asked the system to show his personal information again.

After taking the Innate Full Soul Pill, Dai Mubai found that his Soul Power had risen to level 30, exceeding his expectations and easing his goal of reaching Soul King before the princes’ deadly succession battle. He decided that losing his two old Soul Rings could let him obtain stronger replacements, then noticed his First Martial Soul had changed to Evil Eye White Tiger.

• Dai Mubai saw that his Soul Power had reached level 30 after taking the Innate Full Soul Pill, and guessed the pill had combined the innate Soul Power potential of both his Martial Souls.
• Dai Mubai was relieved that his cultivation had recovered and advanced, making it easier to reach Soul King within the little over four years before he turned eighteen.
• Dai Mubai accepted that the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had devoured his two Soul Rings and reasoned that he could now attach stronger replacements using his level 30 cultivation and strengthened body.
• Dai Mubai considered the possibility of eventually increasing his Soul Rings to a hundred thousand years through a Godhood Inheritance.
• Dai Mubai noticed that his First Martial Soul was now listed as Evil Eye White Tiger instead of White Tiger.

• Dai Mubai discovered that his Innate Full Soul Power had completed and advanced his White Tiger Martial Soul into the Evil Eye White Tiger.

• Dai Mubai reminded himself to focus on reaching Soul King level and surviving the contest to become heir to the Star Luo Empire's throne.
• Dai Mubai summoned the Evil Eye White Tiger and saw its massive build, mismatched red and blue eyes, and new white feathered wings.

Dai Mubai examined the abilities of his god-level Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, and discovered its powerful Tiger Soul Domain and innate attributes. He considered how its growth and devouring abilities could strengthen him in the future.

• Dai Mubai put away his Evil Eye White Tiger and focused his thoughts and spiritual power on the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul.
• Dai Mubai learned that the Tiger Soul Domain enhanced his strength, weakened and intimidated enemies, disrupted their minds, and could grow by absorbing evil Qi and devouring souls.
• Dai Mubai imagined feeding the domain with souls and evil energy from future conflicts and battles across the Douluo Continent.
• Dai Mubai discovered that the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had darkness and evil attributes, along with the abilities of Intimidation, Demonization, and Devouring.
• Dai Mubai recognized that Demonization could help him build a following and vie for the Star Luo Empire's throne, while Devouring could nourish his body, cultivation, Soul Rings, and Soul Bones.

Dai Mubai recognized how his Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul’s Devouring ability could strengthen his Soul Power and increase the age of Soul Rings and Soul Bones, giving him confidence in his race to become a Soul King. After deciding to conceal his Second Martial Soul but reveal the evolution of his White Tiger, he went to breakfast and encountered Zhao Wuji.

• Zhao Wuji checked Dai Mubai's Soul Power and confirmed he had reached level 30.
• Dai Mubai scanned Zhao Wuji's information and saw that his favorability was 59%, below the 80% needed for a treasure chest.

• Dai Mubai resolved not to sacrifice his pride to win over even Tang San or Yu Xiaogang for their potentially valuable treasure chests.
• Zhao Wuji withdrew his hand after confirming Dai Mubai's breakthrough, then showed concern.

Dai Mubai explained that a change in his Martial Soul had raised his Soul Power by three levels, and Zhao Wuji remained concerned until Dai Mubai promised to explain more when Flender returned. Flender arrived with Ma Hongjun, and the academy’s teachers and students gathered around to question why Dai Mubai was awake so early.

• Dai Mubai told Flender, Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, Li Yusong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun that he had reached level 30 and become a Soul Elder.

• Ma Hongjun said his Soul Power was only level 21 despite being made to train daily, and praised Dai Mubai for reaching level 30.

Dai Mubai revealed that his Martial Soul mutation had consumed both of his Soul Rings but raised his Soul Power to level 30, and he reassured the Shrek Academy teachers that he could replace the rings.

Dai Mubai, Flender, and Zhao Wuji reached the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Rings, and Dai Mubai revealed that he wanted thousand-year beasts for his first two rings. Flender and Zhao Wuji were shocked by the request, which far exceeded the limits in Yu Xiaogang’s theory.

• Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Dai Mubai stocked up on supplies in Suotuo City and traveled for three days to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• After entering the forest, Flender asked Dai Mubai which Soul Beasts he planned to hunt for his first two Soul Rings.

• Dai Mubai requested an Iron-Armored Tiger aged 2,500 to 3,000 years for his first ring and a Holy Light Tiger aged 5,000 to 7,000 years for his second.
• Flender and Zhao Wuji were alarmed because Dai Mubai’s first-ring target far exceeded Yu Xiaogang’s theory of a 423-year limit.

Dai Mubai convinced Flender and Zhao Wuji that his level, mutated Martial Soul, and prior Soul Ring tempering let him withstand a much older First Soul Ring than usual. After he demonstrated his physical strength, they agreed to let him seek a 2,500- to 3,000-year Soul Ring.

• Dai Mubai argued that his current strength made his First Soul Ring comparable to a Third Soul Ring and that he could safely withstand a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
