Tang Wuyang and Gu Yue encountered a Tyrant Dragon in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Stage, where Tang Wuyang’s Golden Dragon King bloodline led the creature to merge with him and disappear. After the Spirit Pagoda evacuated them, Leng Yaozhu explained that the Tyrant Dragon’s appearance was an accident and revealed that many Soul Beasts in the Spirit Ascension Stage were real or artificially created Soul Spirits.

• Gu Yue identified the approaching Tyrant Dragon and warned Tang Wuyang that the powerful, supposedly extinct Sub-Dragon Species could overwhelm them.

The results revealed no trace of the Tyrant Dragon but uncovered extraordinary traits in Tang Wuyang’s blood, physical strength, and Spirit Power, and the analysis continued.

• Leng Yaozhu explained that the Tyrant Dragon was a rare, unruly Indomitable Soul Spirit that Tang Wuyang had absorbed, so the Spirit Pagoda needed to examine him and report the results to the Spirit Transmission Tower Council.
• Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li arrived from Shrek Academy and stayed with Tang Wuyang during his examination; Gu Yue used her Soul Power to draw his blood and concealed that it contained only his human blood.
• After the examination, Ya Li took Tang Wuyang away, while Gu Yue admitted she had seen him with Na'er and Leng Yaozhu angrily called Ya Li her love rival.
• Ya Li told Tang Wuyang that she had come because Leng Yaozhu was her love rival and warned him to remain devoted as his growing talent attracted attention.

Tang Wuyang and his classmates prepared to leave Shrek Academy for a year of Exchange Activities and met the Star Luo Continent delegation in Skysea City.

• Gu Yue told Tang Wuyang she would come to his room that night, then privately declared that he could only belong to her and blamed a divine consciousness for thwarting her attempt to devour something.

Tang Wuyang agreed to attend the shipboard reception after Gu Yue gave him a tailored formal outfit, which reminded him of his late parents and made him feel closer to her. At the banquet, the Shrek students gathered and Yue Zhengyu asked Xu Xiaoyan to dance, but she teased him and walked away with Tang Wulin, leaving Yue Zhengyu baffled.

Tang Wuyang survived Muye’s deep-sea trial and was carried back to his room, where Muye treated his battered body. Gu Yue found him unconscious and began guiding him to absorb the energy within the Fifth Seal as his Golden Dragon King Bloodline stirred against the protected Human Bloodline.

• Tang Wuyang broke free from Muye’s grasp underwater, but Muye’s Dark Gold body withstood his Golden Dragon Fear Claw and forced him deeper.
• Muye released Tang Wuyang, who waited until his captor moved away before struggling upward and finally breaking through the surface after a desperate fight for air.

• Muye explained that Tang Wuyang’s survival had impressed him and that the deep-sea trial tested the endurance and talent of Body sect candidates.
• Gu Yue found Tang Wuyang twitching on the bed, sensed his Golden Dragon King Bloodline pressing against the protected Human Bloodline, and guided him to absorb energy from the Fifth Seal.

Tang Wuyang recovered from the strain of Muye’s test by eating rare fish and sleeping, then learned that the Body sect could deliberately trigger a beneficial Martial Soul Second Awakening. When Tang Wuyang refused to join because he was already a Tang Sect Disciple, Muye carried him off by force.

• Tang Wuyang woke beside Gu Yue, then ate nearly twenty Recovery Big Meat Buns and a huge breakfast to ease his weakness.
• Lin Yuhan visited Tang Wuyang while he ate, and Muye brought him premium Deep-Sea Thousand-Year Bluefin Tuna meat and a roasted fish head.

• Muye entered Tang Wuyang’s room and explained that the Body sect could deliberately stimulate a beneficial Martial Soul Second Awakening.
• Tang Wuyang refused to join the Body Sect because he was already a Tang Sect Disciple, so Muye seized him and flew off with him.

Tang Wuyang endured Muye’s brutal deep-sea training for forty-nine days, strengthening his body and elemental perception while approaching the next Golden Dragon King seal. On the final day, Muye revealed that Tang Wuyang still had to trigger a Second Awakening of his Martial Soul or begin another forty-nine-day round.

• Muye repeatedly forced Tang Wuyang into the deep sea, and the Golden Dragon King urged him to survive and endure the training to prepare for breaking the bloodline seals.
• Muye fed Tang Wuyang nutritious sea creatures and told him to meditate, after which Tang Wuyang noticed stronger golden changes in his body and faint resonance with two additional elements.
• Over the following weeks, Tang Wuyang descended as far as two thousand meters and fought increasingly dangerous Sea Soul Beasts while Muye intensified the training.
• On the forty-ninth day, Tang Wuyang felt his body and perception had improved and sensed cracks forming in the barrier around the Golden Dragon King’s Fifth Seal.
• Muye told Tang Wuyang that the forty-nine days were only a milestone and that he would need to complete a Second Awakening of his Martial Soul or undergo another round of training.
• Muye reflected that Tang Wuyang’s failure to awaken after forty-eight rounds was abnormal and feared his Martial Soul might be among the rare cases incapable of a Second Awakening.

Tang Wuyang faced Muye’s final survival assessment: enduring a relentless pursuit by a school of Demon Soul Great White Sharks. After turning the sharks against one another and escaping, he prepared to fight them, but the chapter ended with him blasted from the sea after taking a Ten-thousand-year shark’s attack head-on.

• Muye dropped Tang Wuyang into the sea and warned him that he would not help during the final assessment.
• Tang Wuyang concealed himself from the approaching Demon Soul Great White Sharks until Muye poured Deep Sea Demon Whale blood onto him, drawing the sharks into an attack.
• Tang Wuyang used his abilities to kill a shark and lure the others toward its remains, then washed off the blood and fled across the sea.
• Tang Wuyang counted forty-seven pursuing sharks and entered his Yellow Rank Mecha to rest and eat, but Muye forced him to jump back into the sea.
• Tang Wuyang waited for the sharks underwater and took the Ten-thousand-year shark’s White Light attack head-on, leaving Muye struggling to resist intervening.

Tang Wuyang killed a Ten-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark but was left badly injured and surrounded by its bloodthirsty kin. As a larger shark attacked him, his Martial Soul began its Second Awakening, and a nine-colored flower rose from the sea.

• Tang Wuyang feigned weakness so the Ten-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark would bite him, then used the Golden Dragon Fear Claw to kill it from inside its body.
• The Thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Sharks swarmed toward Tang Wuyang and their leader’s corpse, so he fled and fought off a pursuing shark with an Earth Element Long Spear.

• A nine-colored flower erupted from Tang Wuyang’s sphere, calming the sharks as Muye realized Tang Wuyang’s Martial Soul was undergoing its Second Awakening.

Tang Wuyang completed his Qilin Martial Soul’s Second Awakening, broke through to rank 40, and absorbed the Tyrant Dragon as a Ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit after it swallowed the descending Soul Ring. He returned to the ship with his Fifth Seal on the verge of breaking, but chose to wait until they were safely settled before attempting a bloodline breakthrough, then fell asleep with Gu Yue.

• Tang Wuyang’s Qilin Martial Soul fully awakened, broke through the rank 40 barrier, and began absorbing a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

• Tang Wuyang discovered his awakened Qilin could control the Wind Element and returned to the ship with Muye.
• Gu Yue noticed Tang Wuyang’s changed aura and stronger Blood Qi, then settled beside him as he postponed his bloodline breakthrough until they were off the ship.
