• Bai Tang San presented Bibi Dong with the Tang Sect Merchant Association’s commercial plan, and she warned that the empires could blockade his caravans before offering Spirit Hall’s protection.

• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan watched the exchange from Spirit City and felt frustrated by Bai Tang San’s composure and confidence.

The Sky Curtain contrasted Hei Tang San’s exhausted victories with Bai Tang San’s effortless, resource-backed wins over the Star Luo Royal Team and New Godwind Team. Hei Tang San prepared for the final battle as the night settled over Spirit City.

• Hei Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils defeated the Star Luo Royal Team and New Godwind Team after exhausting their strength and resources.

• Hei Tang San prepared for the final battle, and the Sky Curtain showed the two worlds’ contrasting preparations.

Bai Tang San devised a sound-based counter to Bewitching Charm and secretly coordinated with Tang Hao to escape Spirit City after the final. As the arena rose, the Shrek Seven Devils faced the Martial Soul Hall Academy team under crushing Soul Power pressure.

• Hei Tang San and Yu Xiaogang concluded that their tactical simulations could not reveal how Bewitching Charm worked, so they planned to rely on Purple Demon Eye and their team's resolve.
• Bai Tang San explained that Bewitching Charm's red mist relied on resonating Mental Power and neurotoxins, then ordered Titan to make throwing darts that could disrupt it with sound.

In the Black World, Hei Tang San became trapped inside Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s Bewitching Charm fog, while the White World’s match began with Bai Tang San’s team prepared for the same attack.

In the Black World, Bibi Dong ordered Xiao Wu captured after her Soul Beast aura was exposed, leaving Tang San and the Shrek team overwhelmed.

• Bai Tang San announced the battle’s remaining time and demanded the three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones and tax-exemption travel documents from Bibi Dong.

In the White World, he rejected Tang Hao’s waterfall training plan after assessing its risks, while Hei Tang San continued enduring the same training in the Black World.

• Bai Tang San gave Dai Mubai fifty million Gold Soul Coins and ordered him to infiltrate the Star Luo military by bribing officers and commanders.

• Bai Tang San told the group that the merchant association would annex the economic lifelines of both empires within five years.
• Hei Tang San repeatedly practiced the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer beneath the waterfall, falling, injuring himself, and returning to the stone as Tang Hao instructed him to follow the water’s rhythm.
• In the White World, Bai Tang San measured the waterfall’s conditions, judged Tang Hao’s training plan infeasible, and refused to pick up the wooden hammer.
• Tang Hao grew angry and challenged Bai Tang San’s rejection of the Clear Sky Sect’s traditional training method.

• Bai Tang San warned Tang Hao that unstable waterfall training risked hidden injuries, then summoned craftsmen to build a laboratory.

• Tang Hao led Hei Tang San to the Blue Silver King, whose spiritual welcome and bowing grass recognized Hei Tang San as their sovereign.

Hei Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor and saw how his counterpart, Bai Tang San, forcibly shaped his own genetic transformation into a battle-ready body. Questioning his own delicate appearance, Hei Tang San entered a dangerous tavern, where a burly man confronted him.

• Hei Tang San accepted the Blue Silver Grass's call, awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, and transformed into a beautiful, long-haired figure as Tang Hao wept at his resemblance to Ah Yin.
• Bai Tang San rejected the Blue Silver King's attempted bloodline connection and forcibly absorbed Blue Silver Grass energy, reshaping his genes to strengthen his body and create venomous, barbed vines.

• Hei Tang San entered a skull-flagged tavern, where a bald man lifted his chin and asked whether he knew the rules.

Hei Tang San slaughtered the tavern’s patrons and entered the Abyss of Slaughter, while Bai Tang San used a nerve-blocking toxin to enter safely. The chapter left Bai Tang San investigating the toxin’s effects and possible source as Hei Tang San struggled to resist Bloody Mary and the madness of the Slaughter City.

• Hei Tang San killed the tavern’s armed patrons with the Clear Sky Hammer, drank a Bloody Mary, and entered the passage underground.
• Bai Tang San incapacitated the tavern’s patrons with a nerve-blocking toxin, paid the bartender for a Bloody Mary he did not drink, and entered the Abyss of Slaughter.

• Bai Tang San tested blood from a bound fallen one and recorded that the toxin contained a possible vampire-bat enzyme, stimulated dopamine production, and caused dependence and damage to the central nervous system.

Bai Tang San developed an antidote to Bloody Mary's toxin and used it to build a secret armed force through Black Market deals, provoking the King of Slaughter. Meanwhile, Hei Tang San allied with Hu Liena in the Black World, while the White World ended with Hu Liena collapsing from the toxin.
