Chapter Summaries

Wu Qi pushed past the Icefire Spring’s limits and encountered the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King in a vision of Dragon Valley. The Dragon Kings challenged the God of Destruction’s motives, and Wu Qi relayed his explanation about the dragon race’s surviving descendants and the coming succession in the God Realm.

• Wu Qi relayed the God of Destruction’s explanation that dragon descendants still lived on Douluo Continent and that the God Realm was preparing for new successors.

• Qian Gu Changkong received the God of Ruin’s trial mark, had his first trial waived, and joked with Wu Qi about standing equal to Feng Xiaotian before telling Chen Ping he had recommended him too.

Wu Qi received the Destruction God’s Sixth Trial to annihilate the Wolf Bandits, while Tang San and the Shrek Six Monsters discovered that Captain Haider planned to kill them during their voyage. Near the Demon Whale Sea Domain, Tang San decided they had to seize Haider’s Sea Chart to reach Sea God Island.

• The Shrek Six Monsters caught and prepared their own fish, preventing Haider from poisoning them during the voyage.
• As the Sea Demon neared the dangerous Demon Whale Sea Domain, Haider ordered his crew to attack the Shrek Six Monsters that night.
• Zhu Zhuqing overheard Haider’s plan and warned her companions, and Tang San decided they needed to seize the Sea Chart to cross the sea domain and reach Sea God Island.

Tang San and the Shrek Six Monsters exposed Haider’s poisoning plot, but their burning ship drifted into the Demon Whale Sea Domain and was destroyed by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s waves. They survived in the wreckage, found a lifeboat, and rowed west toward land, hoping to locate Sea God Island.

• The Shrek Six Monsters caught Haider’s sailors stabbing dummy-filled beds, and Tang San set Sea Demon ablaze with Bone-Piercing Nails.

• Tang San explained that his group had survived a shipwreck in the Demon Whale Sea Domain, and the Sea Spirit Masters decided to take them to Sea Horse City for questioning.

• Sea Horse Douluo led the Shrek Six Monsters to the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar to undergo Sea God's Trials.

The Shrek group received their Sea God trials, with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing earning Black Grade trials while Yu Tianheng received only Yellow Tier because his damaged meridians limited his future growth. Yu Tianheng was left grieving that he could not keep pace with his companions or avenge his sect’s fallen disciples.

• The Sea Horse Douluo activated the sacred pillar and explained that its light would reveal each person's trial rank.
• Taila and Tailong each received a Purple Tier Three Trial, while Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai received Black Level Six Trials.

• Yu Tianheng touched the sacred pillar, whose light rose to black before falling to yellow and marking him with a Yellow Tier trial.
• Bo Saixi explained that Yu Tianheng's damaged meridians limited his future and could not be repaired, so he could not receive a higher-level trial.
• Yu Tianheng realized he would fall behind the others and would be unable to avenge his sect's fallen disciples.

Tang San received the Sea God Nine Trials in a reduced Red Tier form and learned that Bo Saixi was his great-grandmother. Meanwhile, Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong discussed keeping the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from Tang San before the group reached Xibei City, where Wolf Bandits threatened the inhabitants.

• Bo Saixi sent Yu Tianheng and two others away, then watched Tang San receive the Red Tier Nine Trials because he lacked the Sea God's Heart.

• Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong discussed keeping the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud away from Tang San so he could not reclaim it.
• A few days later, the three arrived at Xibei City, a remote mountain-surrounded city threatened by Wolf Bandits.

Wu Qi and his companions investigated a Wolf Bandit feeding site outside Xibei City, then entered the besieged city and met its lord, Han Shizhong. After learning the city had faced attacks for half a year and might be threatened by more than a hundred Wolf Bandits, Wu Qi began assessing the crisis.

• Wu Qi, Qian Gu Changkong, and Chen Ping searched a feeding site and estimated that a disciplined squad of about twenty Wolf Bandits had passed through, led by one with twenty or thirty thousand years of cultivation.

• Han Shizhong offered Wu Qi command of Xibei City, but Wu Qi declined and joined him in assessing the city's defenses.

• Wu Qi proposed gathering the Wolf Bandits and wiping them out, and Feng Xiaotian warned that even a few survivors could rebuild the pack.
• Wu Qi sensed a helper outside and called for Qian Renxue to reveal herself.

Wu Qi devised a plan to hide Xibei City's civilians underground and lure the Wolf Bandits into the city, accepting heavy damage and possible casualties to eliminate them. The soldiers agreed to defend the city for their families, leaving Wu Qi burdened with responsibility as the battle approached.

• Qian Renxue arrived, and Wu Qi explained that her help raised his plan's chance of success from thirty percent to fifty percent.
• Wu Qi proposed evacuating the civilians, but Qian Renxue warned that moving thousands of people would risk alerting the Wolf Bandits.

The battle began with Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong bolstering the soldiers, while the crippled Bèi watched from the Wolf Bandit rear and remained confident of victory.

• Wu Qi used Soul Beast corpses as bait, drawing the Wolf Bandits into Xibei City and fighting the groups that gathered around him.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong attended Maple Leaf City’s auction after learning that the Soul Douluo Chai Brothers might be plotting against its guests.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong were ambushed after leaving the auction, where Sea Halberd Douluo Chai Long demanded the Dragon Pearl.

• Qian Gu Changkong offered to challenge a Soul Douluo, while Wu Qi and the Chai Brothers exchanged hostile looks at the Great Soul Arena.
• After leaving the auction house, Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong were confronted in an alley by the gray-robed elder, who demanded the Dragon Pearl and threatened their lives.
