Chapter Summaries

After Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu demonstrated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Zhao Wuji announced that the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament had been moved up, leaving Shrek Academy only days to prepare. Ning Rongrong accepted that she would participate and focused on raising her sword-healing count, while Zhao Wuji promised to find a seventh teammate.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill left Zhao Wuji battered, and he cursed Yu Xiaogang for sending him into the trial.
• Zhao Wuji announced that the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament had been moved up and would begin in less than a week.
• Ning Rongrong heard the system announce the tournament as its final hidden quest and reflected on the two years since she had entered Shrek Academy.
• Zhao Wuji explained that each team needed seven members and promised to find a seventh competitor for Shrek Academy.
• Yu Xiaogang assigned the students tournament training, while Ning Rongrong chose to keep healing her sword to increase her count.

Ning Rongrong completed five million sword healings and exchanged one million for the qualification to inherit the Demon God's godhood. The Demon God Nine Trials began, and she was left facing a second trial to defeat a mirror image of herself.

• With four days left before the tournament, Shrek's students pursued their own goals while Ning Rongrong continued healing the sword at the academy.
• Ning Rongrong gave Zhu Zhuqing a linked-bell soul tool for emergencies, then stayed behind as the others left to cultivate under Yu Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji.
• At noon, Ning Rongrong completed one million more sword healings, bringing her total to five million and unlocking the hidden reward of a god's inheritance.
• Ning Rongrong spent one million sword healings and gained the qualification to inherit the Demon God's godhood, unlocking the Demon God Nine Trials and the Demon God Domain.
• Because Ning Rongrong had already defeated a Titled Douluo, she automatically passed the first trial, gained three Soul Power levels, and reached level fifty-five.
• The second trial required Ning Rongrong to defeat a mirror image of herself, and she decided to attempt it while she was still relatively weak.

Ning Rongrong began the Demon God Nine Trials’ Second Trial, which forced her to fight an identical mirror image in a deadly volcanic arena. Her opening assault failed, and she was left searching for a way to overcome the copy’s overwhelming strength.

• Ning Rongrong chose to begin the Second Trial while her Soul Power Level was still in the fifties.
• The trial transported Ning Rongrong to a volcanic battlefield and created a mirror image with the same Martial Souls, Soul Rings, and abilities.
• Ning Rongrong recognized that she had to defeat the mirror image quickly before the hostile battlefield killed her.
• Ning Rongrong launched five Soul Skills and charged with the Ten Treasures Glazed Sword.
• The mirror image used the Fire-Stoking Stick to shatter her Soul Skills and knock her hundreds of meters away.
• Ning Rongrong realized she had no clear way to defeat a mirror image whose Fire-Stoking Stick granted immense attack and defense.

Ning Rongrong recognized that her reflection was trying to drain her Soul Power while their matching domains made them immune to each other’s attacks. She conserved her strength and struck when the reflection’s domains disappeared, leaving the fight’s outcome unresolved.

• Ning Rongrong dodged the reflection’s Fire-Stoking Stick attack with her Jade Phoenix Twin Wings, but the reflection blocked her counterattack with a whirlwind.
• The reflection released five Ten Treasures domains, and Ning Rongrong answered by releasing her own five domains to withstand the reflection’s attacks.
• Ning Rongrong realized the reflection was trying to exhaust her Soul Power before the domains ended, so she stopped wasting Soul Skills and waited.
• As the magma rose, Ning Rongrong counted down until the reflection’s domains vanished a second earlier than expected.
• Ning Rongrong teleported behind the reflection and launched a close-range Ten Treasures Demon Soul Strike.

Ning Rongrong defeated the reflection in the Second Trial, but caught her as she fell and heard her final advice before she vanished into the magma. The trial ended back at Shrek Academy, where Ning Rongrong received her rewards and was left wondering who the reflection had been.

• Ning Rongrong struck the reflection with the Ten Treasures Demon Soul Strike, leaving her mortally wounded and unable to fight on.
• The reflection admitted she had expected to lose and said the original Ning Rongrong might have been killed or changed by life on Douluo Continent.
• Ning Rongrong caught the reflection as she fell, and the reflection advised her to live well and use her Fire-Stoking Stick to create her own Soul Skills.
• The reflection freed herself from Ning Rongrong’s arms and fell into the magma, smiling through tears as she disappeared.
• Ning Rongrong returned to Shrek Academy’s training ground and completed the Second Trial, gaining three Soul Power levels and one million years each of Soul Ring and Soul Bone age.
