At Shrek Academy, Lin Chen woke after eight months and announced that he had broken through to Title Douluo; the chapter also showed a furious Xu Tianran in the Sun Moon Empire’s palace.

• Bi Ji argued that human weapons threatened the survival of soul beasts, then shielded thousands of them from the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannons.
