• Tang Wulin greeted Na'er, and Cai Yue'er explained that she was an Inner Court senior, though Yuanen Yehui cut short the talk about seniority.

• Second Grade Class One selected Yuanen Yehui, Bai Hanying, Na'er, Yue Zhengyu, Ye Xingmo, and Duanhun Xiao.
• Gu Chen joined the match after seeing Na'er, hoping to sense her Martial Soul up close.
• Gu Yue remembered that her link with Na'er had briefly broken five years earlier, then reconnected the next day, and now found Na'er impossible to see through.

Tang Wulin charged Yuanen Yehui at the start of the match, revealing his Golden Dragon power and battle armor, but Na'er interrupted him with a Silver Dragon Spear. She exposed her strength and declared her intent to avenge the Golden Dragon King by targeting Tang Wulin for his bloodline.

• Tang Wulin activated Golden Dragon Body, grew golden scales and a Golden Dragon Claw, and summoned his One-Word Battle Armor gauntlet and illusory dragon wings.
• Na'er declared that she would take revenge for the Golden Dragon King by going after anyone who shared his bloodline.
• Tang Wulin sensed danger and stopped as a Silver Dragon Spear struck the ground in front of him.
• Tang Wulin recognized the spear's name through his bloodline, and Na'er pulled it from the ground.
• Na'er revealed her rank of sixty-nine and six Soul Rings, including four red rings and one orange ring, unleashing an overwhelming pressure across the arena.

Na'er awakened a Dragon God-like form after the complete Dragon God Bloodline fused into her, giving her God King-level potential. She then attacked Tang Wulin without warning, and their fists collided with a force that left him stunned and numb.

• Na'er’s power cracked the ground and summoned a nine-colored dragon, while most of First Grade Class One was transported away.
• Gu Yue realized Na'er’s transformed appearance did not mean the Dragon God had fully returned, but that Na'er’s bloodline and potential had been greatly enhanced.
• Na’er told the others not to interfere, vanished, and appeared in front of Tang Wulin.
• Tang Wulin instinctively met Na’er’s punch with his own, but the impact numbed his arm and shook him.

Na'er overwhelmed Tang Wulin with powerful earth, fire, and lightning attacks during their fight, leaving him badly injured and unable to fight back. Tang Wulin remained conscious in the crater, but his golden dragon scales had been pierced and his condition was poor.

• Tang Wulin discovered that Na'er's strength far exceeded his own after their clash and retreated from her strike.
• Na'er bound Tang Wulin's legs with earth and sent spikes toward him, but his dragon roar shattered the spikes.

• Na'er quickly defeated Tang Wulin, then announced that she admitted defeat, shocking the students.
• Yue Zhengyu objected to Na'er deciding for the team, so she withdrew and warned that the others could not defeat her Brother.
• First Grade Class One won the sparring exchange because Na'er withdrew and Gu Chen could defeat the remaining opponents alone.
• About half a month passed as Shrek's first-year final exam approached, while Gu Yue wanted to speak with Na'er and Gu Chen brooded over the Dragon God's appearance.
• Gu Chen realized the Abyssal Sage King's arrival would come sooner than he had planned and feared that he could not defeat the Abyssal Sage King.
• Gu Chen considered abandoning Douluo and hiding Na'er and Gu Yue inside the Void Plane if the Abyssal Sage King attacked.

Shen Yi announced a final exam that required the students to travel to Ming Capital without supplies and defeat increasingly powerful opponents, with special rules imposing tougher opponents on Gu Chen and his companions. As the students set out separately, Gu Chen reunited with Yun Che and his other body in Sunset Forest, fused with that body, and revealed his overwhelming true power.

• Shen Yi announced that five students would be eliminated unless they completed a fifteen-day journey through at least ten cities, defeating opponents stronger than themselves without outside help.
• Shen Yi imposed a requirement that Tang Wulin, Gu Chen, Gu Yue, and others face opponents at least fifteen levels above their own, and Gu Chen worried about fighting Spirit Saints.
• Tang Wulin headed for Heaven Dou City, Gu Yue went to Star Luo, and Gu Chen set out for Sunset Forest while the other students chose their own routes.
• Gu Chen met Yun Che and his other body in a wasteland near Shrek City, then fused with the other body.
• The fused Gu Chen displayed blood-red eyes and a chilling aura as he gathered chaos energy and tore open the surrounding space.

Gu Chen and Yun Che traveled through a spatial passage to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Gu Chen sensed the basin, its hot spring, and the rare herbs growing around it. They arrived safely at the edge of the well, and Gu Chen prepared to collect the Immortal Herbs while remaining wary of Tang Sect guardians.

• Yun Che opened a spatial passage to Sunset Forest, and Gu Chen followed him through it.
• Gu Chen adapted to the basin’s shifting cold and heat and used his Mental Power to explore the area.
• Gu Chen discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with its opposing cold and fiery springs and ancient aura.
• Gu Chen sensed dense clusters of precious herbs surrounding the well, and Yun Che confirmed that everything was normal.
• Gu Chen realized they had arrived at the well’s edge without crossing the poisonous-gas area and prepared to pick the Immortal Herbs.

Gu Chen donned his Chaos Divine Armor and Battle Armor, then plunged into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to search its depths despite the deadly opposing forces within. After his mental power was suppressed by lingering divine power, he spotted faint red and blue lights in the darkness.

• Gu Chen activated his Chaos Divine Armor and summoned his purple-gold Battle Armor from the bracelet, releasing a powerful aura that alerted the beings nearby.
• A female voice challenged Gu Chen and Yun Che, but both ignored her, and Gu Chen told Yun Che to kill anyone who approached.

• Gu Chen found that lingering divine power prevented him from releasing his mental power and left him sinking through darkness without knowing how much time had passed.
• Gu Chen spotted faint red and blue lights in the depths and realized he had found what he was seeking.

Gu Chen reached the lakebed and discovered the enormous skeletons of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, where a fading phantom of Tang San called him the Child of Luck and said he had come too late. After Tang San vanished, Gu Chen mourned the Dragon Kings’ desolate remains and wondered why he had been given that title.

• Gu Chen accelerated through the lake and found the thousand-meter skeletons of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, with blue and red crystals in their skulls.
• A blue light emerged from the Fire Dragon King’s skull and formed a phantom of Sea God Tang San, who called Gu Chen the Child of Luck.
• Tang San said Gu Chen had come too late, then faded away after his lingering will and power were exhausted.
• Gu Chen saw the Dragon Kings’ bare bones and felt grief for the fallen Dragon Clan.
• Gu Chen questioned Tang San’s claim that he was the Child of Luck and lamented that the Dragon Kings had left no remnant thoughts behind.

Gu Chen discovered the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ Dragon Core among their remains and absorbed a small portion of its power. He took the dragon corpses away and began breaking through to Soul Emperor, forming the phantom of his sixth Spirit Ring.

• Gu Chen sensed a Dragon Core emerging from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ skeletons and recognized its ice-and-fire power.
• Gu Chen absorbed about three percent of the Dragon Core’s energy, preserving the rest for future refinement.
• Gu Chen took the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ corpses away, leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with only a few hundred years of power remaining.
• Gu Chen stopped suppressing his aura and began assaulting the level 60 bottleneck with the Dragon Core’s energy.
• Gu Chen guided energy toward his eyes, where his sixth Spirit Ring was meant to appear, and gradually formed a clear Spirit Ring phantom.

Gu Chen successfully condensed a god-level Sixth Spirit Ring from the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings and broke through to rank 67. The ring triggered a comprehensive evolution of his body, leaving him to examine his enhanced physical and mental abilities.

• Gu Chen’s two God Cores refined the surging energy as he condensed and absorbed his Spirit Ring without incident.
• The energy feedback raised Gu Chen to rank 67, and he revealed six Spirit Rings, with the Sixth Spirit Ring glowing reddish gold and marked by vermilion and water-blue patterns.
• Gu Chen sensed his Martial Soul guiding his body through an essential evolution that increased his strength and vitality.
• After calming himself, Gu Chen found that his muscles, cells, Mental Power, and bones had all improved.

Gu Chen tested his newly overwhelming strength, then used his Double Pupils and Chaos Qi to remove the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with its surrounding land. He emerged exhausted before Yun Che, who was left staring at the enormous pit in confusion.

• Gu Chen assessed his strength and concluded he could defeat a Title Douluo head-on, though he would still flee from a Super Douluo or Limit Douluo.
• Gu Chen put away his Battle Armor in a bracelet and decided to take the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for himself.
• Gu Chen realized the well’s essence lay in the entire basin, so he chose to remove the basin and surrounding land rather than merely take its water.
• Gu Chen used his Double Pupils and Chaos Qi to cut out and store the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the space within his eyes.
• Yun Che supported Gu Chen after he appeared above the resulting pit, and Gu Chen stayed silent about what he had done.

Gu Chen and Yun Che discovered two mysterious Spirit Bones buried beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and recognized them as likely belonging to the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Gu Chen retrieved them, but the Fire Dragon King’s bone burned his hand, revealing the dangerous divine power remaining within the bones.

• Gu Chen noticed two faint glimmers in the pit, and he and Yun Che returned to investigate.
• Gu Chen uncovered two patterned bones underground, and both he and Yun Che identified them as Spirit Bones.
• Yun Che found the bones impossible to perceive with Mental Power, while Gu Chen’s Double Pupils revealed red and blue lights of origin that he suspected came from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
• Gu Chen used Soul Power to pull the two God-level Spirit Bones from the ground and catch them in his hands.
• The crimson Fire Dragon King Spirit Bone burned Gu Chen’s finger, and he realized the bones retained powerful divine energy.

Gu Chen refined the divine power from the two soul bones, discovered that the Fire Dragon King Soul Bone was a spine bone, and prepared to flee with Yun Che after they stripped the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Zang Xin, the Duoqing Douluo, arrived through a spatial rift and confronted them, but his Soul Power pressure did not affect either of them.

• Gu Chen used the God-Slaying Art to erase the divine power on the Ice Dragon King Right Arm Bone and the Fire Dragon King Soul Bone, then realized the latter was a spine bone.
• Gu Chen searched the area, stored the soul bones, and told Yun Che they needed to leave before people arrived.
• Yun Che sensed a powerful Limit Douluo approaching and judged that the newcomer was weaker than himself but still formidable.
• Zang Xin stepped through a spatial rift, saw that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was gone, and summoned his Affectionate Sword and nine Spirit Rings.
• Zang Xin's Soul Power pressure washed over Gu Chen and Yun Che without affecting either of them.

Gu Chen admitted that he had taken the Tang Sect’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, provoking Zang Xin to threaten his life. Yun Che unleashed his Primordial Wraith and stood between them, warning Zang Xin that harming Gu Chen would mean death.

• Zang Xin demanded that Gu Chen and his companion reveal where they had taken the Tang Sect’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Gu Chen, concealed by gray mist, openly admitted stealing the well and taunted Zang Xin.
• Zang Xin declared that Gu Chen would die, and Yun Che released a terrifying power that shattered the space around him.
• Yun Che’s Primordial Wraith appeared as Zang Xin recognized the aura of a Quasi-God-level expert.
• Yun Che shielded Gu Chen and warned Zang Xin that he would die if he hurt him.
