Chapter Summaries

Mu Ge won a Hell Slaughter Arena match in Slaughter City but collapsed from his injuries and awakened memories of his previous life. He reflected on how his Simulator martial spirit had failed to copy any high-quality martial spirits, leaving him with far less combat power than his level suggested.

• Mu Ge dreamed of his previous life and awoke with those memories dominating his consciousness.
• Mu Ge recalled that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had recruited him after he awakened the Simulator martial spirit and helped him obtain his First Spirit Ring.
• Mu Ge remembered that, despite his rapid cultivation, he had only simulated low-quality martial spirits and remained weaker in combat than Soul Masters at his level.

After discovering that his Simulator could develop abilities through life simulations, Mu Ge used it to create a soul-ring-free healing skill. He stopped the simulation after learning Light of Healing, leaving himself with little Soul Power but a new way to fight in Slaughter City.

After recovering from his injuries, Mu Ge decided to avoid the Hell Slaughter Arena for a year while he developed Soul Skills that worked without Spirit Rings. He began a life simulation focused on creating combat skills with the Clear Sky Hammer.

• Mu Ge summoned his Spirit and began a life simulation focused on developing Soul Skills with the Clear Sky Hammer.

Mu Ge used the life simulator to develop a seven-strike Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer combo, but the effort drained his Soul Power, so he restored his strength before seeking food. In Slaughter City, he ran into Yu Luoyang, a former Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciple who blamed Mu Ge for driving him there, and Yu Luoyang mocked Mu Ge’s reasons for arriving.

• Mu Ge developed Thunder Evil Body Protection and other body-technique Soul Skills, but failed to create lightning attacks such as Railgun.
• After three months of seclusion, Mu Ge went to the Hell Slaughter Arena and saw Bibi Dong in the arena.

Mu Ge watched Bibi Dong compete in the Hell Slaughter Arena and witnessed her deadly skill with the Death Spider Emperor despite being unable to use soul skills. After Bibi Dong won, Mu Ge decided to arrange their arena registrations at different times so she would not lose to him.

• Mu Ge decided to talk to Bibi Dong so they would register for the Hell Slaughter Arena at different times.

Bibi Dong absorbed the Soul Power left by her opponents in the Hell Slaughter Arena and continued to grow stronger while plotting revenge on Qian Xunji. After killing four Fallen Ones who pursued her, she faced Mu Ge, who warned her to avoid him in future arena matches.

• Bibi Dong noticed the Hell Slaughter Arena absorbed most of the dead contestants’ Soul Power, then left the tavern while vowing to kill Qian Xunji.

• Mu Ge entered the alley applauding, and Bibi Dong recognized that he knew her identity but dismissed him as an ordinary Fallen One.
• Mu Ge told Bibi Dong to avoid him in future Hell Slaughter Arena matches if she did not want him to defeat her.

• Mu Ge told Bibi Dong to avoid entering the same Hell Slaughter Arena match as him, and she angrily wondered why he had approached her.
• Mu Ge decided that winning Bibi Dong's heart was unlikely and resolved to pursue her body instead.
• Mu Ge registered for the Hell Slaughter Arena as Number 6018 and asked the attendant about new women.
• The attendant brought a petite woman in a black gauze dress, and Mu Ge thought she looked familiar.

Mu Ge recognized Nightingale as the future Slaughter Envoy, and she agreed to serve him before he entered another Hell Slaughter Arena match. After two days together, he left with Nightingale hoping he would survive, and he spotted Bibi Dong at the arena.

Mu Ge entered the Hell Slaughter Arena with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, drawing Bibi Dong’s scrutiny and revealing to the registration attendant that he might have Twin Martial Souls. When his nine opponents united against him, Mu Ge used his self-created Moving Like Thunder technique to escape their encirclement and strike from behind.

• Bibi Dong watched from the stands, intending to judge Mu Ge’s strength and potentially kill him in a later arena match.

• Mu Ge’s nine opponents formed an alliance and charged at him together.
• Mu Ge used Moving Like Thunder to break through the encirclement, then attacked one opponent from behind with Thunder Claw.

Mu Ge used his self-created Thunder Claw and Moving Like Thunder to kill several opponents in the Hell Slaughter Arena, then activated Thunder Evil Body Protection when the remaining five fighters banded together. He endured their attacks to pierce one opponent’s heart, leaving himself exposed to the others.

• Mu Ge killed an opponent with Thunder Claw, and Bibi Dong recognized it as a self-created Soul Skill.

• Mu Ge ignored the other fighters’ attacks and pierced the heart of the opponent he had targeted, while the dying man watched for Mu Ge to be killed in turn.

Mu Ge defeated the other contestants in the Hell Slaughter Arena, absorbed their Soul Power, and devoured one corpse’s martial soul to gain more simulations. Bibi Dong judged him a threat and considered killing him outside the arena so she could clear Slaughter City faster.

• The four remaining Fallen Ones attacked Mu Ge, but lightning around him greatly reduced the damage, and he dodged their next strikes before killing them one by one.

• Bibi Dong recognized that Mu Ge could threaten her and decided she should avoid facing him in the arena while considering testing or killing him outside it.
• Mu Ge regretted that he had only devoured one martial soul before the arena made the remaining corpses disappear.

Mu Ge discovered that Bibi Dong was following him and confronted her in a secluded dead end. As their fight began, Mu Ge found her Death Spider Emperor difficult to counter with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, so he switched to the Clear Sky Hammer.

• Mu Ge began a life simulation to develop Soul Skills using only his Soul Power, starting with footwork to make up for his lack of agility without a Spirit.
• The simulation helped Mu Ge develop basic footwork, and after a week of further work he named its refined form Lingbo Micro Step.
• Mu Ge developed defensive and unarmed offensive Soul Skills for emergencies, then returned to the Hell Slaughter Arena, where Bibi Dong was fighting again.

Over half a year in Slaughter City, Mu Ge and Bibi Dong built fearsome winning streaks and earned the titles Hell Messenger and Slaughter Saintess. After discovering that accumulated baleful aura was threatening her control, Bibi Dong stayed behind after Mu Ge’s latest victory, hoping to obtain his method for purging it.

• Bibi Dong decided not to register and leave after Mu Ge’s latest match, instead waiting to ask him how to purge the baleful aura.
