Chapter Summaries

Chen Ming used his ice and fire powers to evade the Sun Moon Royal Team’s Soul Guiding Cannon attacks, impressing Shrek’s observers. Ling Luochen identified his ice as Extreme Ice, and Xuan Zi struggled to understand how Chen Ming had acquired two ultimate attributes as he worried about the threat he might pose.

• Long Aotian cut through two Soul Guiding Cannon shells while Chen Ming used Ice Fire Power to escape the bombardment and approach the Sun Moon Royal Team.
• Ma Rulong and other Soul Engineers intercepted Chen Ming with lasers, air-current shells, lightning shells, and an ice shell, but Chen Ming evaded or endured their attacks.
• Wang Yan analyzed how Chen Ming used the force from colliding ice and fire to accelerate, while Ma Xiaotao compared his control with her own flame-based movement.
• Ling Luochen told the Shrek team that Chen Ming’s ice attribute had reached Extreme Ice, and Wang Yan concluded that his balanced ice and fire suggested dual ultimate attributes.
• Xuan Zi recalled Chen Ming’s earlier fire-based soul skill and wondered how he had gained ultimate ice and fire, then worried about the danger his talent could pose to Shrek Academy.

As the battle between the Sun Moon Royal Team and the Body Team grew more chaotic, Xiao Hongchen survived Long Aotian’s axe strike by turning into liquid metal, while Vina faced a barrage of cannon shells. Watching Chen Ming’s elemental power, Xuan Zi began to suspect that Chen Ming possessed a second Martial Soul with no soul rings.

• Susan broke through toward the Sun Moon Royal Team’s Soul Engineers, but Meng Hongchen stopped her with poisonous mist before targeting Kong Kong.

• Xuan Zi connected Chen Ming’s Ice Fire Power and strong Spiritual Power to the possibility that his second Martial Soul had no soul rings.

Yuan Liu’s stored Extreme Ice soul skills protected Vina from Xiao Hongchen’s Soul Guiding Cannon barrage, prompting Xiao Hongchen to order Ma Rulong to attack him. Yuan Liu revealed his Broad Blade and met Ma Rulong’s sixth-tier Soul Tool greatsword head-on, unleashing a series of blade strikes.

The Body Soul Master Academy Team defeated the Sun Moon Royal Team after Kong Kong sealed Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, though the teams still had an individual elimination match ahead. Back at the Shrek Team’s hotel, Ling Luochen decided to risk fusing with a soul bone to strengthen her Extreme Ice, and Xuan Zi agreed to supervise her.

• Kong Kong restrained Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen before they could unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Chen Ming declared the Sun Moon Royal Team defeated.

• Xiao Hongchen asked how the Body Team learned about the siblings’ Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Chen Ming refused to reveal his source and claimed Xiao would not find the informant.
• Ling Luochen told Wang Yan that she wanted to fuse with the soul bone because Chen Ming’s ultimate attribute could counter her ice abilities.
• Xuan Zi told Ling Luochen to proceed and promised to watch over the fusion, insisting to Wang Yan that he knew what he was doing.

Xuan Zi arranged for Ling Luochen to fuse with the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone while investigating how it might be connected to Chen Ming. Chen Ming sensed Xuan Zi’s killing intent and prepared for a possible attack, leaving his plans for the upcoming match unresolved.

• Xuan Zi watched over Ling Luochen as she began fusing with the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone and asked Wang Yan to find out which auction room Xu Jiujiu had entered.

• Chen Ming concluded that Tian Meng should be safe near the Extreme North and vowed to protect him once he became a Titled Douluo.

While Chen Ming prepared to condense a Soul Core, Xuan Zi stormed into the Star Luo Grand Hotel and attacked him after sensing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Du Busi arrived to defend Chen Ming, and the chapter ended as he unleashed several Soul Skills against Xuan Zi.

In Star Luo City, Shrek Team and Body Team prepared to face each other in the semifinal, and Wang Yan was left stunned by the Shrek contestants entering the arena.

• Xuan Zi told the Sea God Pavilion elders that he had sent Luo Chen to absorb a soul bone and attacked Chen Ming, after which the Star Luo Grand Hotel collapsed and Luo Chen’s fate became unknown.
• Xuan Zi reported that Chen Ming had five soul rings, including black and black-red rings, leading Elder Song to identify him as the God of Death Emissary.
• Mu En recalled the Sea God’s description of the God of Death Emissary and ordered Qian Duoduo to find and inspect the Sun Moon Empire’s Level Nine Fixed Soul Guiding Cannonballs.
• The semifinal draw paired Shrek Team against Body Team, and both teams entered their preparation areas in Star Luo City.
• As the contestants entered the arena, Wang Yan’s expression shifted from icy to blank at what he saw.

Chen Ming revealed his overwhelming strength as the Body Team’s sole fighter against Shrek’s seven, displaying a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and announcing his Level 59 cultivation. His Ice Fire Phoenixes emerged and shattered Ma Xiaotao’s battle intent, leaving the match poised to begin under Shrek’s fear.

Chen Ming's attack devastated the Shrek Team and exposed that he wielded the power of a light-attribute god. Mu En, Du Busi, and Xuan Zi intervened, but the chapter left Mu En shocked and resentful as he realized he could not overpower Chen Ming.

• Mu En, Du Busi, and Xuan Zi recognized Chen Ming's aura as divine Spiritual Sense, and Mu En grew resentful over Chen Ming's light-attribute divine power.

Chen Ming crippled several Shrek Team members in the competition and refused to help heal them, then demanded valuable items and a portion of the Golden Ancient Tree’s origin from Mu En. He offered to reveal two secrets before Mu En decided whether to accept his terms.

• Mu En, Xuan Zi, Dai Hao, and Wang Xian'er treated the injured contestants, while Wang Xian'er found Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, Xu Sanshi, and Bei Bei in dire condition.
• Chen Ming dismissed the injuries as what the Shrek Team deserved and told Dai Hao that he had not ended the White Tiger Duke's line, pointing out Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin.
• Chen Ming demanded that the arena's sound barrier be removed so the spectators could hear the truth, and Mu En warned him against provoking the gods.

• Chen Ming offered to disclose two secrets before Mu En reconsidered his demands.

Chen Ming privately told Mu En that the past Sea God Pavilion Masters’ power had been absorbed by Ah Yin and that the God Realm’s connection to Douluo Star had weakened. Mu En traded the Dragon Pill for a three-year truce over the Golden Ancient Tree’s origin and Chen Ming’s help treating Shrek’s injured fighters, then demanded the Body Sect help detain Jing Hongchen and his group or disarm their Level Nine Soul Guiding Cannonball.

• Chen Ming secretly told Mu En that the past Pavilion Masters’ power had gone to Ah Yin and that the God Realm could no longer contact Douluo Star freely.
• Chen Ming revealed that seizing the Golden Ancient Tree’s origin was part of his God Trial, and Mu En agreed to give him the Dragon Pill if he stayed away from the origin for three years.
• Mu En required Chen Ming to heal Bei Bei and help treat Yue Heng, Xiaotao, Xu Sanshi, and the others, and Chen Ming expelled the Ice Fire Power from their bodies.
• Mu En demanded that the Body Sect help keep Jing Hongchen and his group after the competition or make them dismantle the Level Nine Soul Guiding Cannonball before leaving.

Mu En persuaded Du Busi that the Sun Moon Empire might start a war after colluding with Evil Soul Masters and discovering Xuan Zi’s infiltration. As Mu En explained the Death Emissary’s inheritance, Du Busi began considering an alliance with Shrek, while Chen Ming learned more about the possible rival he might face.

• Du Busi dismissed Mu En’s warning, but Mu En told him the Sun Moon Empire had colluded with Evil Soul Masters and might use Level Nine Soul Guiding Cannonballs to provoke war.
• Chen Ming questioned why Mu En expected war, and Mu En explained that Xuan Zi had been discovered while searching for the Death Emissary in the Sun Moon Empire.
• Mu En revealed that he had suspected Chen Ming was the God of Death Emissary, then described the Death Emissary’s possible inheritance from the Death God.
• Electrolux explained that previous Death Emissaries had extraordinary talent, and Du Busi recounted how the previous one had devastated forces across the continent.
• Du Busi realized the Body Sect might have to stand with Shrek against the God of Death Emissary, and Mu En confirmed the Sea God had clues about the emissary.

Chen Ming revealed that the God of Death Emissary was likely Tian Meng, a boy with a mutated Ice Silkworm Martial Soul and Extreme Ice who could be found in the Extreme North. After Shrek Academy’s crushing quarterfinal defeat, Du Busi ordered Lei Zhen to take the others away from Star Luo City while he stayed behind.

• Mu En recognized that Chen Ming’s account of Tian Meng matched the God of Death Emissary’s traits, and Chen Ming said Tian Meng was likely in the Extreme North.
• Mu En and Xuan Zi renewed their determination to find the God of Death Emissary, and Mu En concluded that Xuan Zi was the best person to search the Extreme North.

• Du Busi told Lei Zhen to take Little Ming and the others back to the sect because the Level Nine Soul Guiding Cannonball might detonate, while he stayed in Star Luo City.

After the battle, Mu En decided Shrek had to ally with the Body Sect and rely on Chen Ming to face the Sun Moon Empire and the God of Death Emissary. Meanwhile, Chen Ming began studying how to refine his own bones into soul bones, but he had not yet worked out the method.

• Xuan Zi questioned Mu En about reconciling with the Body Sect, and Mu En argued that Shrek needed the alliance and Chen Ming’s help against the coming threats.
• Mu En assessed Shrek’s losses and concluded that Ling Luochen’s death was its greatest blow, while Chen Ming might be Ma Xiaotao’s only hope of recovery.
• After Xuan Zi left, Mu En considered whether Bei Bei could recover and remembered Chen Ming’s revelations about Ah Yin and the Sea God.
• Chen Ming examined an Extreme Ice soul bone and planned to comprehend its Ice Blast skill before refining one of his own bones into a soul bone.
• Chen Ming reflected that he lacked firsthand experience of soul-bone condensation and had not yet discovered how to transform human bones into soul bones.

Chen Ming devised a way to use a false death to deceive heaven and earth into condensing his Soul Power into soul bones, but recognized that he first needed to condense a Soul Core. After learning that Ye Guyi was being hunted by a Soul Douluo-level Evil Soul Master, he set out to help her and learned she had evolved into a four-winged angel.

• Electrolux told Chen Ming that human bones might become soul bones if he deceived the workings of heaven and earth into condensing them, and Chen Ming conceived of feigning death and resurrection.
• Chen Ming reasoned that condensing a Soul Core should come first and asked Electrolux to help him experience the Ice Blast soul skill, but Electrolux said he needed a body with Extreme Ice abilities.
• Chen Ming received Ye Guyi's message that an Evil Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level was pursuing her south of Star Luo City and told her he would arrive within two hours.
• Chen Ming informed Du Busi that he was leaving and set out from Star Luo City to support Ye Guyi.
• Ye Guyi fled through the Star Luo Mountain Range with four angel wings, six soul rings, and far greater Soul Power than before.
