When Gu Yuena was desperately choosing only death to stop and solve the conflict between soul masters and soul beasts, she decided to end her life in the hands of her lover, Tang Wulin. A tactic was arranged so that Tang Wulin attacked her, but in the end Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena love each other too much so they embraced, with the Golden Dragon Spear was stabed in their bodies. With his spiritual sent world message that soul masters and soul beasts must make peace, Tang Wulin wrapped himself and Gu Yuena in ice, and flew towards the cold northern mainland. Such results bring a big change to the Douluo ecosystem, namely there are strict rules that maintain a peaceful life between soul masters and soul beasts.~Soul Land III
10,000 years have passed since the end of the battle of the Douluo plane with the Abyss. The abundant energy of the Abyss opened the door for soul masters and soul beasts in the Douluo plane to reach knowledges, power, and ranks that were once impossible to achieve. At present, the ice covering the northern land is mostly melting, and Gu Yuena's womb shines brightly in gold and silver. ~Soul Land IV Prologue

First grade won the final fight between the 6th grade. First they fused their abilites (everyone but Qian Lei) into an ice spear that Dong Qianqiu (Bai Xiuxiu) and that prevented the 6th grader until Qian Lei used his vitality to wake up golden fatty. After that there was about 28 seconds left Gu Yuena took over Xuanyu's body and controled the elements with 100 percent control to run out the time. Altogether Xuanyu and Qian Lei have 245 purple badges because of the bets. They go to the elf star, and Hui hui goes off with his grandmother. Xuanyu stays with the students. He meets a cute tiger, they exchange fruits. The cute tiger is Di Tian's adopted daughter, she likes Xuanyu and they call each other brother and sister. The fruit improves your bloodline, and after he takes it, he can use his dragon god mode a lot longer. They go to see if any of the soul beasts would accept the students, and when a powerful thorn dragon feels Xuanyu's aura he agrees to be Liu Feng's soul (because Liu Feng is close to Xuanyu but also has a dragon martial soul). The thorn dragon then goes and gets a lot of spirit beasts, and they all want to became spirits of Xuanyu's classmates because of xuanyu's blood. Something like 26 or 27 of them get spirits. Xuanyu showed them his tiny spirit that was disappearing, and a giant monkey (king kong) ate his spirit to save it's life. Now he has the contract that the tiny spirit has, and Xuanyu can summon him to help him fight when he gets the space element with his sixth ring. Until then Liu Feng's spirit the thorn dragon can help Xuanyu summon him. He has 90 thousand years of strength. Di Tian fails breaking through, and makes everyone think he's dead. But he comes and grabs Xuanyu at night and asks to be his spirit. He fused with Xuanyu, and he'll sleep for a while. He can wake up when Xuanyu's life is in danger, and can wake up once in the next year. But after he fused he doubled Xuanyu's mental strength. The swan fused with Lan Mengqin and the purple demon dragon decided to fuse with Qiuqiu (who changed her name). The school decides that they're going to turn 1st grade into an expermential class where they all work on a starship together. Xuanyu says he'll make everyone's armor in the class for 3 purple badges (basically no profit, just at cost). The teacher is going to ask the academy to compensate Xuanyu for this.

Volume 11 Spoilers
-Xuanyu wants to return the Tang battleship, saying that he took it to avoid it falling into the hands of spies. Shrek and Tang Sect believe his shoddy lies because he's the Life school successor. Tang Sect gives him the battleship as a gift.
- Tang Zhenhua to build a new kind of purple grade mecha for their team. It can transform from a mecha into a space fighter.
-2 year timeskip with them focusing on studying, not doing anything noteworthy. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade don't know about their accomplishments, only that they're a somewhat special class. Xuanyu also became rich through blacksmithing.
-He breaks through to 40th rank along with Xiuxiu and Mengqin and they fuse with their spirits.
-Now that they're 4th grade, it's time for them to go out and do missions. The academy wants them to accomplish over half as much more than other 4th grade classes, which was difficult already because 20% of people usually fail. Xuanyu pledges to lead the entire class to graduate if they follow him.
-Wulin is invited to Shrek city to host a concert. Xuanyu tries to make Nana go, but she had to go help her new students. He has enough tickets to bring his entire class, though.
-At the concert, the best seats are occupied by Shrek and Tang Sect god level experts, with Ling Zichen at the lead. She has been Wulin's #1 fan for a while lol(and also the one who invited him). It's hosted in the Dragon King square. Wulin gets a headache during a song when looking at his statue. Xuanyu jumps on stage in worry, and Wulin recovers, singing the song he made when they first met. Afterwards, he sings a new song made for Shrek and Tang Sect. It's about the Sea God Fated Blind Date General Meeting. Zichen announces that they accept the gift.
-Xiuxiu recognized Wulin, but became confused after she came to learn that he lost his memory. Also, Wulin has continued to teach Xuanyu blacksmithing and forged him a new hammer as a present.
-Xuanyu and his classmates finally go on their mission. It's a 3rd ranked mission out of 9 ranks. For scale: A 6th ranked mission would be to kill a god ranked expert, with anything higher being Federation secret. Their mission this time is to hunt these strange dragon type beasts that drop a special gold when killed. It's on an alien planet so they carpool with some Pagoda and War God temple members to get there.
-Everything goes pretty smooth at first. Xuanyu uses his old trick of following behind others to gain information and pick up the leftovers. They rescue the group they were following from a 6th level mob, gaining their harvest as thanks. Xuanyu wonders why there's not that many dragons around so he scouts with his new mecha. He finds a giant group that includes 7th and 8th levels and has to escape. It turns out the Federation already knew about it and Xuanyu just provoked the group to attack. Whoops
-The base prepares for the incoming waves and they find out it's open hunting season. No one cares for them at first, but gets shocked at their strength as the fight goes on. Xiuxiu and Mengqin's orange soul rings are especially prominent. After the first wave the rest of Xuanyu's friends start to breakthrough.
-Fatty starts a rampage under the influence of the monkey and takes out most of the dragons by himself. Everyone gets worried as he begins to go crazy, but becomes normal again after Mengqin threatens him.
- Tang Yuge noticed how effective going all out is for cultivation, so she 1v1s a 7th level dragon. Suddenly, it evolves into an 8th level mid-fight and Xuanyu has to hold it back to let his teammates run. He transforms his mecha and shows off his progress in piloting over the entirety of 2 years. It turns out that he's actually surpassed Zhenhua and reached the top 900 of the entire Federation, making him a God level pilot at the age of 14.
-Everyone watches Xuanyu's skill in amazement as the battle comes to a standstill. He finally defeats the dragon after using his Dragon God transformation. However, as he goes to take its crystal, the body explodes. Xuanyu almost dies but is saved by the base commander in his God mecha.
-The volume ends with Xiuxiu hugging and then punching Xuanyu across the sky.

Volume 12 Spoilers
Summary (I skip many details, only mention the main points, you'll have to mtl it for everything) :
They finish their first mission and the whole grade 4 gets enough points to become level 1 fighters (federation standard), thanks to sharing all the points equally to each student. They can also convert their points into ressources at Shrek. Xuanyu registers them as a fighter team to get team missions.
For the first team mission they select, they need a warship to transport the whole grade (as no ressources are given for team missions). Xuanyu gets Tang Sect's head to sponsor them, in exchange for his own small team (the 7) to become part of Tang Sect. They get the warship.
(We learn that Tang Sect and Shrek are linked to the point of being one. This is a secret that only high level people of the federation and other organisations know. This is also the reason why Shrek can be the keepers of the life tree.)
The class' mission is to find rare metals on a planet. The planet is called something like 3rd Planet ? Anyway, it's basically an exchange center for pirates. Xuanyu and his classmates give themselves a pirate identity, the 33 wings crew (there are 33 students in their class). Xuanyu is Wing 1. This identity will serve them on the long term, as they intend to use it for many missions. They wear masks.
They fight another pirate crew (small pirate fleet) with their really advanced Tang Sect warship / weapons and win. They take the pirate crew's belongings, which they exchange on Planet 3 for tons of metals (rare and common). It's a huge harvest for them. They also get an old member of the pirate crew to join them as Xuanyu's servant (kind of ?), who'll help them navigate the pirate society.
They realize that the mission they took can't be completed as they find no rare metals on the planet (which explains it being a rank 3 mission : it's not dangerous but there's not much success).
They get back to Shrek. There, Xuanyu gets called by the Dean of the outer court. She explains to him that his grade (year 4) has been given a chance : to fight with year 6 (Tang Yuge's original class) over being representatives of Shrek in a competition against Shek's branch.
We then get introduced to the existence of the branch of Shrek.
_____
The Branch :
Shrek accepts a really small number of Students every year because of limited ressources : their students who get into the inner court will stay with Shrek and Tang Sect, not joining other organisations. So Shrek's contribution to the Federation is sending their teachers (who teach the same way as Shrek does and were students of Shrek before) to teach the branch's students.
The branch is actually the First military academy of the federation (their students graduate to join the federation's military). The branch accepts 1000 students each year (in Shrek, it's about 30 students a year). These students are of course extremely talented (but not admitted in Shrek) : their rate of progression is also slightly less than Shrek's because of ressources. The most talented students of the branch can sometimes join Shrek's inner court. They get quotas thanks to the competition against Shrek's outer court's class.
____
As the students of the branch participating in the competition are older and sometimes not too that much worse in talent than Shrek's outer court students, they have won many of those competitions in the past, getting quotas for the inner court. Shrek's representatives participating also have rewards if they win : they can get lots of bonus points for their evaluation to get into the inner court, and a ton (I think) of Sea god lake's water.
Xuanyu is worried about loosing time on the fight and the competition, so the dean tells him they'll win 1 point (for every student of grade 4) for winning the fight against grade 6, and 3 points (for every student of grade 4) for winning the competition against the branch. The points are for their grade 4 evaluation (they need something like 20 per person, can't remember the exact number). So Xuanyu accepts.
Him and his small team (the 7) will participate, while the rest of the class will carry out a rank 3 mission.
They fight against grade 6 and win in a crushing manner (they really progressed a lot). We got introduced to a guy who courted Tang Yuge for a long time, still loves her a lot, and is one of the grade 6 students who'll get into the inner court, so a potential partner for her ?
Many teachers, including Wang Tianyu and Old tree, were watching. They were suprised by the 7's incredible fighting strengh (as they had remained low-key for the last few years).
As Xuanyu and his friends are preparing to leave for the branch, situated on Sen Luoxing planet (3rd administrative star), we learn that they have been added to the list of potential Shrek seven.
The last generation of Shrek seven are really mysterious, 3 are in Tang Sect and 4 in Shrek inner court. Wang Tianyu is the weakest of the current Shrek Seven.
The new Shrek seven will be selected from the inner court in the next few years, and Xuanyu and his friends (who are still outer court students) are an exception made by Shrek's Sea God Pavillion after seeing their fight against grade 6 and because of their potential. They will be eliminated from the list if they fail to defeat the branch, though they are not informed any of this.

Volume 13 Spoilers
-Xuanyu and his friends board the spaceship to reach Senluo Star. A cutscene shows a guy named Kailun wresting with a soul beast. After defeating it, a beautiful girl appears and talks with him about the contest quota for Shrek's Inner court. We find out that the girl already earned a quota, and the guy is determined to win the second one so he can go with his girlfriend. They also joke that Shrek isn't a big deal.
-Senluo Star is a planet brimming with plant life just like elf star, but has more ocean. The group lands in the only city on the planet, surprised to find humans and soul beasts living together. We learn that only soul beasts with a certain level of wisdom can apply to enter the city. The building materials seem primitive on the outside, but inside the buildings are full of modern technology. The school is also one giant forest. Students there live in nature for half of their year while spending the other half in the Federation.
-They meet with the branch school's teachers. One of them is Lin Mohua, the dean and also a life school member. After they start to rest, Xuanyu is called out by him into the forest to talk. Mohua starts to discuss the meaning of having the life school ring and its responsibility. He then threatens Xuanyu into handing it over because he can't handle the huge pressure.
-Xuanyu says that he doesn't want to be the successor, but only the old tree can take the ring from him. After Lin Mohua releases his soul pressure of a god level expert, Xuanyu activates the Dragon God transformation and throws his abyss halberd into the air. Mohua fails to completely block it and some of the power leaks out. Xiao Qi senses the fluctuation and comes over to find out what's wrong.
-Old tree appears out of nowhere and we find out that everything was just a test. Lin Mohua apologizes and expresses his complete support of Xuanyu. Although Xuanyu is still wary about being the successor, he reluctantly accepts.
-Lin Mohua takes him to a special place. We discover that Shrek and Tang Sect have secretly created a man-made Ice and Fire Well with the help of 5 god experts. 70% of the ownership is Shrek, while the other 30% is owned by the soul beasts.
-While Xuanyu is practicing, Er Ming wakes up from his sleep. He's surprised at Xuanyu's aura and starts to interrogate him about his parents, getting confused after finding out they're not Wulin and Nana. Xuanyu is invited to practice for a month at the well. The old tree complies for him, but it's put off for after the contest. They also talk about the tradition of challenging soul beasts. It's a continuous 1v1 of ten thousand year souls beasts until their group is wiped out. If you beat the record you can obtain a soul bone.
-The Branch school battle finally begins. Upon reaching the venue, crowd cheers give Xuanyu and his friends some pressures. Xuanyu wants to treat this as practice, so he sets up himself, Xiuxiu, and Mengqin for the 1v1 matches.
-Lin Mohua announces the first round as a battle between Xuanyu and the other team's leader, Yan Kailun. It starts off with them charging at each other. Kailun shows his 7 rings, with Xuanyu releasing his soul rings at the last second to distract him. Even the audience is surprised at him only having 4 rings. Although Xuanyu's initial punch doesn't do that much damage, Kailun feels pressure on his bloodline and uses a soul move to raise Xuanyu into the air. Xuanyu flies using his wind, and begins to combine elements into attacks. Kailun doesn't want to give Xuanyu more time to absorb elements so he charges in, but Xuanyu was waiting for him. He releases a combo move of the 4 elements into an attack that injures Kailun into admitting defeat. Everyone is shocked that a 4th rank can defeat a 7th rank, especially the dean since he expected Xuanyu to use the halberd.
-The next match is Bai Xiuxiu vs. the girlfriend, Qing Luo. They both release rings and the crowd cheers when they see the girl is a rank 8th soul emperor. But then everyone's vision gets attracted to Bai Xiuxiu's orange soul ring. Wanting to leave her full strength for the group battle, and wary of the orange ring, Qing Luo plan is to consume Bai Xiuxiu's soul strength, leaving them just simply fighting with weapons. Bai Xiuxiu shows off her skill with spear techniques. Afterwards, Qing Luo gets baited by Bai Xiuxiu's 400 IQ trick, making her mistakenly believe that she should use her strongest move to quickly defeat Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu's orange soul link's first move creates a mirror image of the opponent's attack. Qing Luo takes heavy losses from it and is forced to admit defeat.
-After that it's just 2 more matches of Mengqin completely destroying her opponent with Emerald Swan Bi Ji's help, and Tang Yuge/Huihui overall suppressing theirs. The crowd and teachers are disappointed that their team lost every fight and couldn't even gain an opportunity of a group battle. But Lin Mohua understands that Xuanyu and the others might be the strongest batch of Shrek students in over 1000 years.
-Everyone rests up for the next day where they will meet the challenge of the soul beasts. The branch school comes to watch(and fully hoping that they don't break the record lol). Liu Feng is first up to bat. He defeats 2 soul beasts, but things become difficult as they send out opponents pointed at his weaknesses. The third opponent is an intelligent monkey with the power to create clones, the thorn dragon seemingly being friends/enemies with him. His 4th opponent is a fire type that can do wide area attacks and has strong defense. He only manages to win after sacrificing his battle armor, which earns him the respect of everyone. However, Liu Feng feels ashamed and weak since he couldn't defeat 5.
-Qian Lei is next. His first battle ends up being against a green evil spirit bird that he manages to defeat with the newly learned Tang Sect technique, controlling crane capturing dragon. He defeats the next one, a bird beast, by summoning the green evil spirit bird. After he wins against a defensive soul beast using little fatty, the soul beasts recognize it as the ancient dragon eating soul beast that terrorized the ancient time period. His next opponent ends up being Er Ming and Da Ming's adoptive daughter Jin Ni, a special tiger soul beast. She easily defeats Qian Lei and asks him about little fatty. After explaining its situation, Qian Lei is forced to get down because her pride doesn't allow her to admit defeat, but they increase Qian Lei's wins to 7 in return. Xuanyu and the others learn that she was the one who is managing the challenge.
-Huihui and Tang Yuge obtain 6 and 8 more wins respectively, and it's finally Xiuxiu's turn. However, the soul beasts have become a lot stronger and she is forced to use most strength in the first battle, losing in the second one. This causes her to become depressed, and Xuanyu cheers her up by holding her hand.
-Mengqin wins the battle against the soul beast that Xiuxiu lost to, but then no soul beast wants to come up. The reason is because Bi Ji is very highly esteemed in the soul beast world with no one willing to risk offending her. Jin Ni proposes that they give her a free 6 wins, and that Xuanyu only has to defeat the next soul beast to break the 33 win record. Xuanyu agrees.
-Er Ming sends out an arrogant soul beast with dragon blood that tells Xuanyu to give up. Of course it immediately runs away when Xuanyu releases his Dragon God aura. Jin Ni is surprised at his bloodline, but neither Er Ming or Da Ming explain. With the challenge ending, the Branch school finally accepts their loss and laments their bad luck at bumping into such monsters. Er Ming also makes an exception for each member to obtain a soul bone, much to their pleasant surprise. Xuanyu doesn't get one though since he has a special bone waiting for him at the Shrek institute.
-The group enter an underground cave with Er Ming to accept their soul bone. They can choose any bone within the 10000 year range, and he recommends they take either a trunk or skull bone. Liu Feng takes a thorn dragon leg bone, Xiuxiu has an evil dragon trunk that will evolve into a 100000 year bone in the future, Mengqin obtains an ice dragon skull(which will let her snow woman spirit evolve with dragon blood, creating a dragon-pheonix twin martial soul set), Yuge is made an exception for the price of a favor to take 2 arm bones of dark and light element, and Huihui gains an evil eye tyrant skull(same as Huo Yuhao).
-Er Ming thinks it's strange that Yuge is Huihui's half sister, yet he doesn't feel any of his blood aura from her.
-Qian Lei is last to choose a soul bone. He finds one that has a consciousness and it claims that it's Di Tian's teacher, the Golden Saint Dragon, and that it chooses him to lead it to leave. Qian Lei doesn't doubt it for a second and fuses with it immediately. However, when the others find out, Er Ming calls him an idiot, asking him why he thought a light element dragon would be a dark element dragon's teacher.
-The bone is actually a special mythical soul beast that transformed into a bone to hide from Er Ming and Da Ming while it was stealing in the cavern. They can't kill it because that would also kill Qian Lei. Xuanyu proposes they replace Qian Lei's skull into metal with Tang Sect's technology in order to scare it into becoming Qian Lei's boost. However, when the soul beast sense Xuanyu's Dragon god aura, it starts crying and mistakes Xuanyu for the Dragon god, its old master.
-We find out that the soul beast is a parasite that obtained soul wisdom on the Dragon God's body, and that it was in charge of managing the Dragon God's gardens. It leaves Qian Lei and signs a slave/master contract with Xuanyu so they can trust it. Qian Lei obtains another skull bone instead.
-Xiao Qi breaks the news and tells them that they now have qualifications to compete for the Shrek Seven Monsters position. Excited as they are, Xuanyu has to calm everyone down by analyzing that the Federation must be under a huge threat if they need a new generation of seven. He also realizes that the test isn't initiated because of them, and that there must be some fierce competitors at the inner courtyard.
-Time has finally come for the Shrek students to leave. Before they go, Huihui confesses his(her?) worries about whether to become male or female. The others tell him to think hard about which sex he(she?) is attracted to and to pick the opposite one. Qian Lei and Xuanyu stay to cultivate their physical bodies at the Ice and Fire well. The old tree gives Xuanyu 3 drops of Eternal tree life essence.
-The new parasite soul beast(nicknamed Little Bao)shows his skill in cultivating plants, finding treasures, and also explains some backstory about the Dragon god period. When Xuanyu finally starts to practice in the well, it absorbs a drop of Eternal tree essence and transforms the ice and fire energy into chaos energy, which helps Xuanyu promote to 13 dragon god scales from 9. Er Ming is worried about the planet losing 1/100000 of its energy and the Federation detecting it. However, Little Bao tells him that the leftover energy was absorbed by the plants. They then strike a deal of Little Bao teaching them how to manage the garden in exchange for 3 fruits.
-The volume ends with Er Ming teaching Xuanyu and Qian Lei the Titan God fist technique.
