Chapter Summaries

After the Shrek Seven Devils discussed how decisively Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan had outperformed them, Tang Wulin suspected Xu Xiaoyan's combat style resembled An Ping's. Wu Changkong and Zhuo Shi searched an old match video but could not confirm the connection.

• Dai Yun'er asked whether Yue Zhengyu was stronger than Xu Xiaoyan, and Wu Changkong explained that Yue Zhengyu's precise swordplay made him stronger than their group, while the two were difficult to compare.
• Ye Xinglan described Xu Xiaoyan as stronger at control and Yue Zhengyu as stronger at direct offense, while Zhuo Shi pointed out that both fighters seemed to anticipate their opponents' moves.
• Tang Wulin realized that Dai Yun'er's Spiritual Detection had not given the Shrek Seven Devils its expected advantage during the fight.
• Xie Xie complained that the group might have advanced faster if they had received Immortal Herbs, and the others resented An Ping and Gu Yuena for moving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
• Tang Wulin suggested that Xu Xiaoyan's fighting style resembled An Ping's, so Wu Changkong and Zhuo Shi watched footage of their earlier match but found no clear evidence.

Tang Wulin and the others recognized that Xu Xiaoyan’s combat style came from An Ping and Gu Yuena, then rallied themselves after Wu Changkong and Zhuo Shi urged them not to give up. The product launch began demonstrating an Artificial Soul Ring using a child who had just reached Soul Power Level ten.

• Tang Wulin and Xie Xie identified Xu Xiaoyan’s precise, controlling combat style as one learned from An Ping and Gu Yuena.
• Wu Changkong confirmed their deduction, and the Shrek Seven Devils grew discouraged as they considered how formidable An Ping and Gu Yuena must be.
• Wu Changkong and Zhuo Shi urged the Shrek Seven Devils to keep striving, and Tang Wulin regained his resolve by remembering Tang San’s Divine Sense.
• Yue Zhengen introduced Miracle City’s Artificial Soul Bone and Artificial Soul Ring demonstration, drawing the Shrek Seven Devils’ attention.
• Yue Zhengen showed that a young student had reached Soul Power Level ten and asked him to display his Martial Soul.

Yue Zhengen demonstrated Miracle City’s Artificial Soul Ring technology by helping a young boy choose and absorb a Soul Ring. The boy gained the Crescent Slash skill and showed it to the audience, leaving the stadium convinced the technology worked.

• The boy summoned his ordinary blade Martial Soul, showing that he had reached level ten without obtaining a Soul Ring.
• Yue Zhengen explained that the boy could choose an external-type or self-enhancement-type Soul Skill, and the boy selected an external-type skill.
• Yue Zhengen showed the boy a list of Soul Skills, and the boy chose Crescent Slash.
• Yue Zhengen operated the Soul Ring Generator, and the boy absorbed the Soul Ring without incident.
• Yue Zhengen tested the boy’s Soul Power and found that it had risen to level eleven.
• The boy demonstrated Crescent Slash, which matched the skill shown in the video.

Miracle City demonstrated its Artificial Soul Bone Technology by giving Little Boy a flight-type External Soul Bone. Shrek Academy learned that Yun Ming and Yue Zhengen were nearing a breakthrough to God Tier, leaving its leaders alarmed by Miracle City’s growing strength.

• Yue Zhengen introduced the Soul Bone Generator and explained the types of Artificial Soul Bones to Little Boy and the press conference audience.
• Little Boy quickly chose a flight-type External Soul Bone, making the Shrek Seven Devils envious as they watched.
• Yue Zhengen began creating the Artificial Soul Bone, forming a pair of small wings inside the generator.
• Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion members began considering how to obtain Miracle City’s technology.
• Zang Xin revealed that Chen Xinjie had reported Yun Ming and Yue Zhengen were nearing breakthroughs, and the Sea God Pavilion members worried Miracle City could soon have five God Tier beings.

The Sea God Pavilion debated Miracle City’s power, the Immortal Herbs, and the reasons behind Xu Xiaoyan and Yue Zhengyu’s strength, while Long Yeyue raised concerns about Miracle City interfering with the Sea God’s power. Meanwhile, Yue Zhengen completed an artificial wing soul bone and prepared the young boy for its fusion.

• Cai Yue'er explained that Xu Xiaoyan and Yue Zhengyu had gained much of their cultivation from the Immortal Herbs and had received personal combat guidance in Miracle City.
• Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang supported obtaining the Immortal Herbs and questioned how the herbs and Miracle City had affected the Seven Devils’ abilities.
• Long Yeyue warned that Miracle City might suppress the Sea God’s divine power and sever Tang Wulin’s connection to the Sea God’s divine sense.
• Niu Tian argued that the Sea God had likely withheld his power to avoid damaging his reputation during the live broadcast, and Long Yeyue said they would learn the truth when the group returned.
• Yue Zhengen finished crafting an artificial wing soul bone and explained the fusion precautions to the little boy before proceeding.

Little Boy fused an artificial soul bone in a public demonstration, and the wings it created appeared successfully. He learned he could summon and retract them at will.

• Yue Zhengen gave Little Boy the crafted soul bone and reassured him before the demonstration audience.
• Little Boy injected soul power into the soul bone and meditated as it fused with his body.
• The audience, including Wu Changkong, Zhuo Shi, and the Shrek Seven Devils, watched as the fusion continued.
• A pair of snow-white wings appeared on Little Boy's back, and Yue Zhengen confirmed that the fusion had succeeded.
• Little Boy practiced controlling the wings and found he could make them appear and disappear at will.

The little boy tested his new External Soul Bone wings at the product launch, while Yue Zhengen explained that Ling Hongchen would demonstrate how to make the new Spirit Tools. Ling Hongchen appeared with Lan Fuzi, who had been given a finished Spirit Tool to demonstrate, and the chapter ended as the Soul Tool Smelting Furnace was introduced as the means of processing Rare Metals.

• The little boy briefly flew with his new wings, fell into Yue Zhengen's arms, and then withdrew them after Yue Zhengen confirmed he was unharmed.
• Yue Zhengen had the Soul Bone Generator removed and introduced a workbench and materials for the next demonstration.
• Yue Zhengen announced that Dean Ling Hongchen would demonstrate how to create the new Spirit Tools.
• Ling Hongchen appeared with Lan Fuzi, who had requested the chance to demonstrate a Spirit Tool and received a finished one suited to her strength and Soul Power attribute.
• The chapter explained that Spirit Tools had lower rank requirements than Battle Armor and that their Rare Metals were processed with An Ping's Soul Tool Smelting Furnace rather than by Forging.

Tang Wulin and the Shrek Seven Devils watched Ling Hongchen demonstrate making a Spirit Tool with Lan Fuzi’s help and learned that his method could also produce Battle Armor. The demonstration left them wondering about Lan Fuzi’s strength and the threat this new technique posed to traditional Forgers.

• Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er recognized Lan Fuzi on the virtual screen, while Xie Xie doubted she could challenge the Shrek Seven Devils until Wu Changkong rebuked him.
• Dai Yun'er said Lan Fuzi had wanted a life-or-death Contract with the Shrek Seven Devils and that An Ping had claimed she was stronger than all of them combined.
• Ling Hongchen instructed Lan Fuzi to supply Soul Power as he worked, channeling her energy into tools and a carving knife to make the Spirit Tool more compatible with her.
• Tang Wulin and other Forging experts struggled to understand Ling Hongchen’s process and questioned whether its products could be integrated into the body like Battle Armor.
• Ling Hongchen confirmed that metal smelted by this method could be used to create Battle Armor.

Ling Hongchen completed Lan Fuzi’s Spirit Tool spear, and she tested its enhancement and demonstrated its added skill for the audience. The demonstration convinced many Soul Masters that Spirit Tools were a powerful, affordable alternative to Battle Armor, while Lan Fuzi left eager to practice spear fighting with Yun Ming.

• Ling Hongchen finished inscribing the array patterns on Lan Fuzi’s spear and gave her a Soul Power testing device.
• The test showed that Lan Fuzi was a Rank 97 Titled Douluo with Soul Power quality at Rank 98, and she fused with the spear she had helped forge.
• Lan Fuzi tested the spear’s enhancement, which raised her displayed Soul Power Level and Soul Power Strength to Rank 99.
• Soul Masters who could not afford suitable Battle Armor considered joining Miracle City after seeing the Spirit Tool’s capabilities.
• Lan Fuzi stored the spear inside her body and, at Ling Hongchen’s request, demonstrated its added skill before leaving to seek spear training from Yun Ming.

After Miracle City's product launch, Tang Wulin regretted that Dai Yun'er had not recorded Ling Hongchen's Spirit Tool-making method, but Zhuo Shi and Wu Changkong warned him that the attempt could have endangered her. Yue Zhengen closed the launch, and Miracle City began discussing cooperation and Spirit Tool access under strict limits.

• Tang Wulin wished Dai Yun'er had recorded Ling Hongchen's method for creating Spirit Tools, and the Shrek Seven Devils agreed that the technology could benefit the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
• Zhuo Shi and Wu Changkong warned Tang Wulin that trying to steal Miracle City's secrets could have put Dai Yun'er in danger, and Tang Wulin apologized.
• Zhuo Shi reminded the Shrek Seven Devils that their safety mattered more than winning individual arena matches.
• Yue Zhengen announced the end of Miracle City's product launch and invited interested groups to discuss cooperation with the staff.
• Miracle City kept Artificial Soul Ring and Artificial Soul Bone sales restricted and offered Spirit Tools to people who joined the city, followed its rules, and supplied their own materials.

Yue Zhengen warned An Ping and Gu Yuena that Chen Xinjie might try to manipulate negotiations, and An Ping explained why Tang Wulin might be chosen to represent the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. When they realized the delegation likely wanted Miracle City to defend against the Abyss until Tang Wulin matured, Yue Zhengen and Gu Yuena both insisted they reject the request.

• Zhuo Shi and Chen Xinjie left Miracle City without asking to cooperate, while merchants secretly working for the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy remained to gather technical information.
• Yue Zhengen warned An Ping and Gu Yuena to be cautious of Chen Xinjie during their upcoming talks.
• An Ping reasoned that Chen Xinjie could not represent Shrek Academy in a joint effort against the Abyss unless Tang San's Divine Sense was revealed, and suggested Tang Wulin might be the delegation's representative.
• An Ping explained that he had accepted the challenge to let Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan suppress the delegation and guessed Tang Wulin had come to prepare as a future successor.
• An Ping concluded that the delegation wanted Miracle City to defend against the Abyss until Tang Wulin matured, and Yue Zhengen and Gu Yuena both said they should reject the request.

An Ping, Gu Yuena, and Yue Zhengen discussed whether Tang Sect and Shrek Academy planned to use the Abyss to weaken Miracle City, and An Ping decided that selling them some technology could buy the city time. An Ping and Gu Yuena met the Shrek Seven Devils, where Xie Xie criticized their treatment of the guests and An Ping questioned whether he could represent Tang Sect or Shrek Academy.

• Yue Zhengen warned that Tang Sect and Shrek Academy might use the Abyss to weaken Miracle City and explained why Tang Wulin needed Abyssal Origin energy to pursue Godhood.
• An Ping said Miracle City could sell Tang Sect and Shrek Academy most technology to avoid provoking them while the city developed.
• Yun Ming called to confirm that Tang Wulin would meet An Ping and Gu Yuena, and Yue Zhengen left to return to work.
• An Ping and Gu Yuena arrived at the meeting room and found the Shrek Seven Devils waiting impatiently.
• Xie Xie mocked them for leaving their guests waiting, and An Ping asked whether Xie Xie could represent Tang Sect or Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin and the Shrek Seven Devils met An Ping and Gu Yuena to negotiate trades, but Gu Yuena rejected their request for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, and An Ping sharply limited what they could obtain with Star Dou Battle Network technology. The chapter ended with the group weighing his offer and recognizing the gulf in their abilities.

• Tang Wulin backed Xie Xie’s claim that the Shrek Seven Devils could represent Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect after An Ping and Gu Yuena mocked them.
• Tang Wulin proposed trading for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and everything inside it, but Gu Yuena refused and said it had formed after the Dragon Clan fell and its treasures were no longer available.
• Xie Xie angrily insisted the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye belonged to the Tang Sect, but Tang Wulin stopped him from pressing Gu Yuena further.
• Tang Wulin offered Star Dou Battle Network technology in exchange for complete design blueprints, including the Soul Ring Generator, Soul Bone Generator, and Spirit Tool Manufacturing Technology.
• Gu Yuena rejected the proposed exchange as excessive, and An Ping erased the three most important items from the list, leaving the Shrek Seven Devils to consider his offer and marvel at his precision.

Tang Wulin and An Ping haggled over trading Miracle City's technologies for Star Dou Battle Network Login Devices, eventually agreeing on three devices per technology. Tang Wulin followed Chen Xinjie's instructions, but Chen Xinjie's reason for the trade was that the devices could record Soul Masters' information.

• An Ping offered three to five Star Dou Battle Network Login Devices for Miracle City's technologies, and Tang Wulin tried to argue that the exchange undervalued the Star Dou Battle Network.
• Tang Wulin asked who made decisions for Miracle City, and An Ping directed him to Angel Douluo, Yue Zhengen.
• Tang Wulin proposed four Login Devices for the remaining technologies, but An Ping countered with ten devices per technology.
• Tang Wulin and An Ping bargained until they settled on three Login Devices for each technology, while Xie Xie objected to the high price.
• Tang Wulin recalled that Chen Xinjie had instructed him to pursue Artificial Soul Rings, Artificial Soul Bones, and Spirit Tool manufacturing, and that the Login Devices could record Soul Masters' information.

Tang Wulin proposed that Miracle City help resist the Abyss, but Gu Yuena refused to join a defensive effort that offered her no benefit. She left open the possibility of participating in a future counterattack to obtain Abyssal Origin.

• Tang Wulin explained why he had agreed to sell Star Dou Battle Network log-in devices in batches, and An Ping delegated follow-up matters to Angel Douluo.
• Tang Wulin told An Ping and Gu Yuena that the Abyss was intensifying its invasion and that the Blood God Legion was struggling to hold the defensive line.
• Gu Yuena questioned why Miracle City should help humanity, while Dai Yun'er and Xie Xie argued that the Abyss would threaten Soul Beasts and the city alike.
• Gu Yuena asked how Xie Xie knew An Ping was human, then dismissed the question and asked whether Tang Wulin wanted Miracle City to counterattack the Abyss.
• Tang Wulin proposed that Miracle City join the defense before a later counterattack, but Gu Yuena refused to help merely resist and suggested he approach other factions instead.

Tang Wulin and the Shrek Seven Devils tried to persuade Miracle City to join the fight against the Abyss, but An Ping and Gu Yuena challenged their motives and arguments. An Ping said Miracle City would contribute only if the other secluded factions also came out to fight.

• Tang Wulin offered reasons why Miracle City should not disturb secluded factions, while Gu Yuena remained silent.
• An Ping declared that Miracle City would become secluded, and challenged Xie Xie to explain how secluded factions could truly cut themselves off from the outside world.
• An Ping's arguments left the Shrek Seven Devils unable to justify treating Miracle City differently from other secluded factions.
• Gu Yuena accused the Shrek Seven Devils of wanting Miracle City as cannon fodder, and Tang Wulin threatened that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy could abandon the fight and retreat.
• Ye Xinglan and the others appealed to the sacrifices the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had made for Douluo Star.
• An Ping rejected their moral appeals and said Miracle City would contribute if they could bring all the secluded factions out to fight the Abyss.

Tang Wulin and the Shrek Seven Devils failed to persuade An Ping to commit Miracle City’s people to fighting the Abyss. Gu Yuena set conditions they would not accept, and the Shrek Seven Devils left defeated while An Ping reaffirmed his offer to reward those who fought.

• An Ping refused to send Miracle City’s people to the Abyssal front but offered customized Soul Rings and Soul Bones to those who contributed, with supervisors to prevent false reports.
• Gu Yuena said Miracle City would join a counteroffensive only if all factions committed their strength and Miracle City received half of the Abyssal Origin if they breached the Abyss.
• Tang Wulin said he needed to discuss the conditions with the others, then left with the dispirited Shrek Seven Devils.
• Gu Yuena asked whether An Ping had truly meant to provide Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and An Ping confirmed he had.
• An Ping explained that he respected those willing to sacrifice for others and did not want to provoke panic among Miracle City’s members.

An Ping and Gu Yuena spent a rare day together while the Shrek Seven Devils returned to Chen Xinjie and reported on their meeting. Chen Xinjie warned Xie Xie about his arrogant behavior and stressed that Miracle City was now a force Tang Sect and Shrek Academy could not afford to underestimate.

• An Ping and Gu Yuena went sightseeing around Miracle City together and ignored calls from Yue Zhengen, Yun Ming, and others.
• The Shrek Seven Devils returned to their hotel and told Chen Xinjie everything that had happened during their meeting with An Ping and Gu Yuena.
• Chen Xinjie confirmed the group’s accounts and recognized how far behind An Ping and Gu Yuena they were in handling people and situations.
• Chen Xinjie reminded Xie Xie of his privileged background and talent, then criticized him for acting arrogantly despite being no match for Miracle City.
• Xie Xie admitted his mistake, but he resented An Ping and Gu Yuena even more; Chen Xinjie warned that they had spared him because they wanted to avoid war with Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Chen Xinjie warned Tang Wulin and the Shrek Seven Devils not to let their resentment toward Miracle City or their recent defeats disrupt the Sea God's plans and their cultivation. He recounted the Sea God's own defeat and revival to encourage them, leaving the group somewhat more composed and determined to train.

• Chen Xinjie told Xie Xie that An Ping and Gu Yuena had refrained from attacking because of the ceremony and their position as hosts, not because they feared his identity.
• Chen Xinjie reminded Tang Wulin to set aside his resentment over Mu Ye and focus on the Sea God's plans, while admitting he had no way to make Miracle City join the fight against the Abyss.
• Tang Wulin and the others vowed to cultivate harder, though Chen Xinjie noticed their defeat by Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan and their failed negotiations had discouraged them.
• Chen Xinjie recounted how Tang San had been killed by Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, then revived by Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
• Chen Xinjie shared other examples of setbacks, and the Shrek Seven Devils became more thoughtful and somewhat less disheartened.

Chen Xinjie questioned the Shrek Seven Devils about An Ping and Gu Yuena, then sought Yun Ming’s view of Miracle City. Yun Ming revealed that he knew Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King and remained devoted to Miracle City.

• Xie Xie and Tang Wulin said An Ping and Gu Yuena seemed unchanged, aloof, and unconcerned about the Abyss.
• Chen Xinjie considered whether An Ping and Gu Yuena had guessed the Shrek Seven Devils’ purpose or possessed a way to withstand the Abyss, then told the group to focus on growing stronger.
• Chen Xinjie visited Yun Ming to ask about An Ping and found that Yun Ming had become much stronger in Miracle City.
• Chen Xinjie asked whether Yun Ming truly intended to follow An Ping and Gu Yuena, and Yun Ming affirmed his loyalty to the city.
• Yun Ming told Chen Xinjie that he knew Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King and challenged him to explain his real purpose.
