Chapter Summaries

Lin Che gained an initial grasp of the Sword Breaking Style as the Sword Tomb inheritance strengthened his companions and their abilities. After learning the Sea God Trial had a seven-day deadline, he and Jiang Zhu sailed ahead toward the Misty Archipelago, unaware a Spirit Hall spy had reported their departure to Chrysanthemum Douluo.

• Lin Che and Jiang Zhu detected Chrysanthemum Douluo's aura and entered the Earth Vein Wormhole, while a Spirit Hall spy relayed their departure to Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Tang San found Lin Che’s hurried letter and, after learning that Stingray Douluo’s remnants were heading toward Sea God Island, began to suspect Lin Che had concealed information and put inheritance ahead of the team. Tang San’s group pursued Lin Che and Jiang Zhu by warship, while the chapter foreshadowed a Spirit Hall trap awaiting them.

• Tang San inspected the former Earth Vein Altar and read Lin Che’s letter saying he and Jiang Zhu had left to scout Sea God Island and prepare defenses.
• Long Xi told Tang San that Lin Che had said there was not enough time but had not explained why.
• Ma Hongjun and Oscar arrived with news that Stingray Douluo’s remnants had escaped toward Sea God Island and might ambush anyone approaching it.
• Tang San connected Lin Che’s early departure and inheritance advantages to a growing suspicion that Lin Che had kept crucial information from him.
• Tang San ordered the group to leave immediately, and they departed aboard a spare warship for Sea God Island.
• Long Ya and Long Xi watched the warship leave and worried that Tang San’s misunderstanding with Lin Che would be difficult to resolve.

Lin Che and Jiang Zhu repelled a Spirit Hall Poison Bee Squad ambush at the entrance to the Earth Vein Wormhole and discovered that the Deep Sea Demon Whale Soul Master Regiment was waiting near Sea God Island. After restoring the Wavebreaker’s Dragon Power Drive Array, they sailed into the wormhole to reach the Misty Archipelago and prepare for the larger threat.

• Lin Che detected disturbed Earth Vein Energy, and Jiang Zhu’s Divine Healing Holy Staff revealed an ambush by the Poison Bee Squad.
• Jiang Zhu used Poison Purifying Light Patterns to shield the Wavebreaker while Lin Che destroyed an enemy warship with the Soul Suppressing Cauldron and subdued the remaining attackers.
• Lin Che and Jiang Zhu captured the surviving Poison Bee Squad members and found a secret letter describing the planned ambush by the Deep Sea Demon Whale Soul Master Regiment near Sea God Island.
• Lin Che strengthened the Dragon Power Drive Array with a Dragon Core fragment, increasing the Wavebreaker’s speed, and ordered the ship onward through the Earth Vein Wormhole.

Lin Che and Jiang Zhu survived an Earth Vein Tremor in the wormhole and learned from the Sea God Remnant Will that the inheritance required three support-type Soul Masters to unite. Their warning to Tang San was corrupted, leaving him with only a vague message about an ambush and deepening his suspicion of Lin Che.

• Lin Che sensed unstable Earth Vein Energy, and Jiang Zhu's holy staff resonated with an ancient will before a tremor sent the Wavebreaker drifting toward a rock-wall crack.
• Lin Che braced the ship with the Soul Suppressing Cauldron while Jiang Zhu used her holy staff to deflect it from the crack, then the Sea God Remnant Will revealed the seven-stage trial and the need for light-, water-, and soul-type support Soul Masters.
• Lin Che identified Jiang Zhu, Sea Dragon, and Oscar as the required support types and tried to warn Tang San about the trial and the Deep Sea Demon Whale Soul Master Regiment's ambush.
• A second surge of Earth Vein Energy corrupted Lin Che's transmission, leaving only the message, "Come quickly, there's an ambush," before the talisman failed.
• Lin Che restored the Wavebreaker's power and continued toward Sea God Island, while Tang San received the incomplete warning and suspected Lin Che was hiding something.

Tang San and his companions fought off Deep Sea Demon Whale Soul Master Regiment killers in the wormhole, but a map led Tang San to believe Lin Che was hiding the Inheritor's Mark to claim the inheritance alone. Tang San hurried toward the Misty Archipelago, unaware the map was Spirit Hall's bait to deepen the team's divisions.

• Tang San's group encountered lurking killers aboard their backup warship, and the attackers targeted the Dragon Power Drive Array.
• Tang San used his source Soul Power to stop a killer from destroying the drive array, injuring himself and exhausting their Indestructible Sausages.
• Ma Hongjun found a map describing the Inheritor's Mark and the advantages of reaching the Misty Archipelago first.
• Tang San concluded that Lin Che had concealed the mark to monopolize the inheritance, despite Dai Mubai's doubts.
• Tang San took the helm and ordered the group to accelerate toward the Misty Archipelago, while Spirit Hall's map continued to mislead him.

Lin Che and Jiang Zhu reached the Misty Archipelago and discovered Spirit Hall assassins lurking near the route to the Sea God Pillar. After a Clear Sky Sect scout warned them that the Deep Sea Demon Whale Douluo was leading a large force to block the entrance, they fortified the Wavebreaker and waited for Tang San and the others.

• Lin Che guided the Wavebreaker through the Misty Archipelago’s dense fog toward the Sea God Pillar while Jiang Zhu sensed its divine aura.
• Jiang Zhu detected Spirit Hall’s sinister presence, and Lin Che halted the ship and set up a Blue Silver Warning Array around it.

• Lin Che and Jiang Zhu strengthened their defenses and prepared to wait for Tang San’s group while Spirit Hall’s assassins remained hidden in the fog.

Tang San reached Lin Che’s Wavebreaker and accused him of withholding information and taking the Sea God inheritance for himself, then attacked when Lin Che tried to explain. Spirit Hall’s assassins and the Deep Sea Demon Whale Douluo closed in, leaving the team’s survival dependent on whether Tang San would join forces with Lin Che.

• Tang San saw Lin Che holding an unopened Exploration Can and assumed he had secretly obtained the Inheritor’s Mark while leaving the others to fight their way through the ambush.
• Lin Che explained that he had taken Jiang Zhu ahead to sense the Sea God Pillar and that the jar was meant to be opened with the group, but Tang San rejected his explanation and attacked.
• Jiang Zhu tried to mediate as Lin Che used the Soul Suppressing Cauldron to defend against Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass, while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun urged them to stop fighting.
• Jiang Zhu sensed at least twenty Spirit Hall Soul Masters approaching, and Lin Che used the cauldron to push back the assassins as Tang San’s attack briefly faltered.
• A whale cry signaled the arrival of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Douluo; Tang San stopped attacking but remained doubtful as Spirit Hall attacked again and Lin Che called for the group to unite.

Lin Che and Tang San clashed over a broken warning and suspicions about who would receive the Sea God inheritance, until Jiang Zhu and Oscar helped pause the dispute. The team turned its attention to the Deep Sea Demon Whale Douluo’s looming ambush, but Tang San’s distrust remained unresolved.

• Tang San attacked Lin Che with Blue Silver Grass, and Lin Che used the Soul Suppressing Cauldron’s Earth Vein Gravity to restrain it without retaliating.

• Lin Che proposed reviewing the Exploration Can’s information together, but Tang San remained suspicious that the Sea God Pillar had already recognized Lin Che.
• Oscar urged the team to stop arguing and recover before the Deep Sea Demon Whale Douluo attacked, and Lin Che and Tang San agreed to deal with the ambush first.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale Douluo ambushed the warship, forcing Lin Che and Tang San to set aside their conflict and fight together. After driving him off, the group prepared to open the Exploration Can as the Sea God Trial approached.

• The Sea God Pillar surged with energy, restored the team, revealed the trial entrance, and placed a golden mark on Lin Che and a light-blue mark on Tang San.
• Tang San questioned why Lin Che received the higher-ranked mark, and Lin Che explained that he had not known how the marks would appear or intended to claim them alone.
• Jiang Zhu and Long Ya urged the team to focus on the trial and their defenses, and Lin Che offered to study the marks with Tang San.
• Tang San agreed to cooperate with Lin Che while asking for honesty about inheritance information and danger, and the team resolved to prepare for the trial and Spirit Hall’s attack.

Lin Che opened the Exploration Can and revealed a guide to the Sea God Trial, explaining its dangers and Spirit Hall’s planned ambush. Tang San accepted Lin Che’s explanation, and the team organized preparations for the trial, which would begin in three days.

• Lin Che opened the Exploration Can in front of the team, and a scroll titled “Complete Guide to the Sea God Island Trial” emerged.

Lin Che and Tang San rehearsed the Misty Illusion using the Illusion Breaking Jades, confronting guilt and fear that threatened to turn them against their companions. Tang San apologized for distrusting Lin Che, and the team prepared for further trials as the allied Titled Douluo were due to arrive in seven days.

• Lin Che ordered Oscar to observe the canyon while A Hai and the Island Guard Soul Masters guarded its perimeter.
• Oscar found the Netherworld Poison Formation and Deep Sea Poison Sacs, but triggering the formation forced him to flee from Poison Guards through the perimeter's water curtain.
