Chapter Summaries

Tang Wulin completed the Sea God Fourth Trial and returned to Shrek Academy, then joined the Shrek Seven Monsters in Mingdu to infiltrate the Council Legion and steal Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Long Yuan also reached Mingdu and waited near West Mountain, planning to snatch the prize after they secured it.

• Tang Wulin crossed the hostile sea without using Soul Ring skills or killing Sea Soul Beasts, completed the Fourth Trial, and declined to continue.
• A week later, Tang Wulin and the Shrek Seven Monsters arrived in Mingdu in disguise to find a way into the Council Legion at West Mountain.

• Tang Wulin identified infiltration as their only practical route into the heavily armed Council Legion and proposed becoming officers.
• Shen Xing emerged from the legion training grounds wearing the rank insignia of a Lieutenant Colonel.

Tang Wulin intercepted Shen Xing’s blind date and met her at a restaurant, claiming he wanted to apologize for having coerced her before. Shen Xing learned that he really was a Major General, but she grew furious at his interference and tried to leave.

Tang Wulin tried to persuade Shen Xing to help him enter the War God Hall, but Long Yuan secretly intervened when their fight broke out and sent Tang Wulin flying with Shen Xing’s punch. Shen Xing left after making Tang Wulin pay for the restaurant damage, then warned him that the War God Hall trials would be far more dangerous than he expected.

• Shen Xing explained that the War God Hall matched high-level challengers against much stronger War Gods and called Tang Wulin naive.

• Tang Wulin threatened Shen Xing when she tried to cancel their agreement, but she punched him into a cesspit and drove away.

• Tang Wulin met Shen Xing outside the Council Legion's main gate to confirm the agreement in person, then left after secretly planting a listening device on her.
• Long Yuan watched Tang Wulin leave and decided to take the Eternal Heaven Kingdom for himself, leaving the device in place so Ling Zichen could study it.
• Tang Wulin returned to the villa, pleased with his progress toward obtaining the Eternal Heaven Kingdom.

Tang Wulin’s team monitored Shen Xing as they prepared to enter the War God Hall and steal the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, but a recording of her insulting him exposed that she believed he had been knocked into a latrine pit. Tang Wulin denied it, then privately wondered how Shen Xing had managed to overpower him twice.

• Tang Wulin entered the conference room, where the Tang Sect team monitored Shen Xing’s movements across West Mountain ahead of the operation.
• The team played a recording of Shen Xing cursing Tang Wulin and describing how she had sent him flying into a latrine pit.

• Two days later, Xie Xie drove Tang Wulin into the legion disguised as returning supply soldiers, and they unloaded their cargo without raising suspicion.

• Tang Wulin ended the call, put on his captain’s uniform, and led his companions toward the War God Hall.

Tang Wulin and the Shrek group entered the War God Hall to face its trials, while Long Yuan secretly followed them. Xie Xie challenged the Nine War God first, driven by his desire to prove himself worthy of Yuanen Yehui.

• Shen Xing helped the people from Shrek Academy reach the summit of West Mountain, where they opened the Hell's Gate and entered the War God Hall.

• Xie Xie reflected on his years of cultivating to catch up with Yuanen Yehui, who had grown close to Long Yuan.

• Xie Xie used his Eighth Soul Skill, Traverse Thrust, to immobilize Jiang Zhanheng and defeat him with his daggers at his neck.
• Long Yuan watched Xie Xie's victory and judged that Xie's invisibility would not help him against Long Yuan.

• Xu Lizhi defended with Mystic Jade Hand as Ling Chen pressed his advantage and struck Xu Lizhi's chest.
• Xu Lizhi's Heartguard Mirror blocked Ling Chen's rods, and Xu Lizhi summoned his Soul Rings and revealed his Three-Word Battle Armor.

Xu Lizhi defeated Gluttony Douluo Ling Chen in the War God Hall, securing the second Shrek victory. Ye Xinglan then stepped forward, and Long Yuan decided to recruit her to Dragon God Academy—and poach Xu Xiaoyan too, to make Tang Wulin cry.

• Xu Lizhi revealed his nine black soul rings and fought Gluttony Douluo Ling Chen, who used his Space Jump domain to attack from different angles.
• Xu Lizhi evaded Ling Chen’s chopsticks, then trapped him inside his Martial Soul Avatar, the Steamer Basket, and knocked him unconscious with a series of explosions.
• Xu Lizhi won and became the second Shrek member to advance, while the War God Hall members reacted grimly to Shrek’s strength.
• Ye Xinglan stepped out from the Shrek group, and Long Yuan decided to poach her and Xu Xiaoyan for Dragon God Academy.

Ye Xinglan challenged the Third War God, Dark Emperor Douluo Luo Yuhang, and fought him in a fierce sword-and-dragon battle. She unleashed her Star God Sword’s eighth soul skill, Starfall, as the clash continued.

• Ye Xinglan changed her intended challenge to the Third War God after Tang Wulin spoke to her, then faced Luo Yuhang in the battle zone.

• Ye Xinglan activated her Star God Sword Body and Sword Star Soul as Luo Yuhang transformed into his Dark Emperor Dragon True Body.
• Ye Xinglan charged through Luo Yuhang’s Dragon Flame and struck his dragon form, then unleashed her eighth soul skill, Starfall.

Ye Xinglan risked her life against Dark Emperor Douluo Luo Yuhang to seek enlightenment on the Sword God Road, and their battle ended in a draw as she fell into a cocoon. Yue Zhengyu then challenged the Seventh War God, Begonia Douluo Shi Mengshan, who entered the arena in battle armor wielding a massive hammer.

• Ye Xinglan unleashed a burst of starlight that devastated Luo Yuhang, while Xu Lizhi stopped Tang Wulin from interfering with her trial.

• Yue Zhengyu stepped forward to challenge the Seventh War God after Shrek Academy and the War God Hall had fought to two losses and a draw.
• Shi Mengshan introduced herself as Begonia Douluo, donned her rose-red battle armor, and revealed her enormous hammer.

Begonia Douluo Shi Mengshan overwhelmed Yue Zhengyu with her brutal hammer attacks, leaving him badly injured and struggling to escape. Yue Zhengyu flew backward to create distance as Shi Mengshan pressed her assault.

• Yue Zhengyu turned and fled to widen the distance, but Shi Mengshan pursued him with another berserk hammer assault.

Yue Zhengyu outlasted Begonia Douluo Shi Mengshan, and Lan Muzi defeated Radiant Sun Douluo to give Shrek Academy four victories and one defeat. Guan Yue asked Tang Wulin why Shrek had entered War God Hall, and Tang Wulin said they had come to exchange pointers and that some wanted to raise their military rank.

• Begonia Douluo Shi Mengshan used her Nine Heart Begonia poison, but Yue Zhengyu's Sacred Flame suppressed it as he kept evading her.
• Begonia Douluo Shi Mengshan's Three-Word Battle Armor conflicted with her martial soul, so she could not use both at once.
• Begonia Douluo Shi Mengshan conceded after Yue Zhengyu continued wearing her down, leaving Shrek Academy with three victories and one defeat.
• Lan Muzi challenged First War God Radiant Sun Douluo and won after an intense clash, bringing Shrek Academy's score to four victories and one defeat.
• Guan Yue asked Tang Wulin why Shrek had come to War God Hall, and Tang Wulin said they sought an exchange of pointers and a chance for the military members to raise their ranks.

Tang Wulin agreed to a team battle against the War God Hall in exchange for skipping the first sixteen levels of the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Guan Yue showed Shrek Academy the War God Arena and explained its rules, leaving Tang Wulin ready to inspect the battleground and Long Yuan eager to see it for himself.

• Guan Yue told Tang Wulin that Major General was the highest rank available and offered a team battle that could let Shrek Academy skip the first sixteen levels if they won.
• Tang Wulin accepted the offer, and Guan Yue led the War Gods and Shrek's group into the War God Arena, while Long Yuan followed from the shadows.
• Yue Tian Douluo Guan Yue explained that the Small World had two territories, routes to enemy starting points, Soul Guidance Turrets, warning points, and respawning soul beasts.
• Tang Wulin asked to inspect the arena and learn what soul beasts it contained, and Guan Yue said their types appeared randomly but described the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts on each side.

Tang Wulin selected a five-person team to explore the War God Arena, while Long Yuan secretly entered the arena and mapped its layout. The team returned to the starting point as the match was about to begin, and Long Yuan waited astride the Great Dragon’s horn.

• Guan Yue explained that the arena’s Golden Eyed Black Dragon King was only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and Tang Wulin chose Xu Xiaoyan, Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, and Lan Muzi to join him.
• Guan Yue transported the five fighters into the arena, and Long Yuan secretly followed them inside to memorize its teleportation array.
• Tang Wulin organized an investigation of the arena, while Long Yuan used his Spiritual Power to map its lanes, forests, and Soul Beasts.
• Long Yuan found the Great Dragon, settled invisibly on its head, and watched as Tang Wulin’s team cautiously investigated nearby areas.
• After an hour, Tang Wulin and the others returned to the starting point and confirmed they were ready as Guan Yue announced that the match would begin in one minute.

Tang Wulin and the other fighters began the War God Arena duel as Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun planned to cross the river and harass Shrek Academy. Long Yuan led the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King out of its territory toward the Dark Demon Dragon, leaving both teams stunned.

• Xu Xiaoyan and Yue Zhengyu took the left path, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie took the right, and Lan Muzi advanced through the center as the War God Hall team also split up.
• Tang Wulin entered the forest, sensed the area with his Spiritual Power, and smashed a Steel Bristle Boar and several weaker Soul Beasts with his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun reached the river and decided to wait rather than risk crossing toward the Dark Demon Dragon while Shrek Academy might be setting a trap.
• A furious dragon roar came from across the river, and Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun suspected Shrek Academy had provoked the Dark Demon Dragon.
• The Golden Eyed Black Dragon King left its territory, flew past the War Gods, and headed toward the Dark Demon Dragon with Long Yuan riding its head, astonishing everyone watching.

The Golden Eyed Black Dragon King drove the Dark Demon Dragon from its territory, and the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts appeared to swap caves. Tang Wulin tried to exploit the change and attack the Dark Demon Dragon, but it knocked him back and destroyed his Clear Sky Hammer.

• Tang Wulin awakened the Dark Demon Dragon, but the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King charged in and sent him flying with a claw strike.
• The Golden Eyed Black Dragon King intimidated the Dark Demon Dragon into leaving its cave and taking over the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King’s territory.
• Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun watched as the Dark Demon Dragon entered the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King’s cave, while Tang Wulin hid nearby and witnessed the apparent territory swap.
• Tang Wulin headed for the Dark Demon Dragon’s former territory, hoping to kill it, but stopped when the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King roared and seemed ready to return.
• Tang Wulin risked attacking the Dark Demon Dragon, but it deflected his Clear Sky Hammer and sent him flying again.

Lan Muzi confronted Demon Lyre Douluo Mo Zihong in the middle lane, while Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan faced Soaring Dragon Douluo Nangong Yi across the river in the left lane. Lan Muzi resisted Mo Zihong’s music, and Yue Zhengyu began clearing river beasts as Nangong Yi waited in hiding.

• After the Dark Demon Dragon knocked Tang Wulin away, Tang Wulin gave up on attacking it and turned to farming the wilds.
• Demon Lyre Douluo Mo Zihong played his lyre and clouded Lan Muzi’s mind with fatigue and negative emotions, but Lan Muzi regained his senses and attacked with his Yang Wood Blade’s Third Soul Skill, Setting Sun.
• Mo Zihong countered Lan Muzi’s descending attack with a piercing note, and the two attacks dissipated in midair.
• Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan reached the left riverbank and spotted Soaring Dragon Douluo Nangong Yi across the water; Nangong Yi withdrew into the forest to watch for an opening.
• Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan held back from crossing, and Yue Zhengyu used Holy Light Shines to destroy a poisonous aquatic Soul Beast.
