Chapter Summaries

Xiao Ye shielded Long Aotian from the Douling Team’s attacks, allowing Long Aotian to reveal his body-engraved Core Arrays and unleash a devastating axe strike. Long Aotian then knocked the remaining Douling Team members out of the arena, ending the match in a stunning victory for the Body Team.

• Gu Zhujian and the other Douling Team members attacked Xiao Ye and Long Aotian, but Xiao Ye’s Bloodline Furnace Shield blocked their Soul Skills.
• Long Aotian activated the Core Arrays engraved across his skin, astonishing the Sun Moon Imperial Team’s Soul Engineers.
• Long Aotian used Unity of Heaven and Man: Heaven and Earth Opening, breaking through Gu Zhujian and Qian Yuan’s defenses and shaking the arena’s protective screen.
• Long Aotian transformed his axe into a hammer and struck the helpless Douling Team members out of the arena, securing the Body Team’s victory.

Long Aotian’s victory over Xiao Feng revealed his powerful Core Array and Unity of Heaven and Man, while the teams assessed the new threat and their own plans. On the night before the quarterfinals, the invited teams gathered at Star Light Auction House, where the auction began with a Level 8 Soul Tool.

• Long Aotian defeated Xiao Feng, then explained that he was not truly a Level 5 Soul Tool Master because he only knew how to inscribe one Core Array onto his skin.
• Huo Yuhao asked Tian Meng about Long Aotian’s attack, but rejected Tian Meng’s suggestion that he join the Body Sect out of loyalty to Tang Sect.
• Du Busi made Long Aotian and Xiao Ye the Body Team’s core for upcoming matches and told Xiao Ye not to reveal his Martial Soul Second Awakening.
• Xiao Hongchen told Elder Ma that the Sun Moon Imperial Team could use its Level 8 Soul Guidance Device if necessary, and Elder Ma recognized Jing Hongchen’s likely intent.
• Four days after the sixteen-to-eight matches, Star Light Auction House held a top-tier auction for the eight quarter-final teams, opening with the Level 8 Melee Soul Tool Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

Mu Yuan recognized the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade as a chance to study how a Core Array integrated a Soul Bone’s power into a Soul Tool, and Du Busi bought it for the Body Sect. The Body Sect then set its sights on a powerful set of Fixed Soul Tool Cannonballs to learn their Core Array technology.

• Mu Yuan decided he wanted the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade for its Soul Bone-fusing technology, while Dai Yueheng claimed the blade for himself.
• Mu Yuan explained that the blade’s Core Array could help him fuse Soul Bones with the arms granted by his Heavenly Thunder Six Orifices External Soul Bone, and Du Busi promised to secure it.
• Du Busi outbid Dai Yueheng and won the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade for the Body Sect.
• Xu Jiujiu presented twelve Fixed Soul Tool Cannonballs with different attributes, and Mu Yuan urged Du Busi to buy them.
• Du Busi agreed that the Body Sect should obtain the cannonballs to study their Core Arrays and improve its Soul Tool and Combat Technique development.

The Body Sect spent lavishly at the auction, buying the Fixed Soul Tool Cannonballs, the Heaven Opening Earth Splitting Cannon, and the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone. The auction ended its penultimate item and revealed that the final lot was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

• The Body Sect won the twelve Fixed Soul Tool Cannonballs and later secured the Heaven Opening Earth Splitting Cannon.
• Wang Yan reflected that the Body Sect was developing Soul Tools far more aggressively than Shrek Academy.
• The Body Sect bid thirty million Gold Soul Coins and won the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, disappointing Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen.
• Xu Jiujiu announced that the final auction item was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Mu Yuan recognized that the damaged Hundred Thousand Year Right Arm Bone, imbued with Blood Qi and Heavenly Tribulation power, was an ideal match for him. The Sun Moon Imperial Team outbid Du Busi’s Body Sect at two hundred million Gold Soul Coins, leaving the auction unresolved.

• Xu Jiujiu revealed that the Hundred Thousand Year Right Arm Bone came from a Soul Beast that died after surviving a Heavenly Tribulation, and that its remaining Thunder Power would temper its wielder’s Blood Qi.
• Mu Yuan realized the Soul Bone suited him exceptionally well, and Du Busi agreed that it seemed tailor-made for him.
• Du Busi opened the bidding at one hundred million Gold Soul Coins, prompting Xiao Hongchen to order Elder Ma to pursue the Soul Bone.
• Elder Ma gathered the Sun Moon Imperial Team’s unused Soul Tools to help fund their bids, while Du Busi and Elder Ma raised the price in turn.
• Elder Ma bid two hundred million Gold Soul Coins, and Du Busi stopped bidding after Mu Yuan signaled that the Body Sect should not keep competing.

Mu Yuan resolved to pursue the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone while examining the Soul Tools he had bought, and the tournament’s semi-final draw put Shrek against the Body Team. Xu Jiawei had manipulated the draw to protect Star Luo’s public standing, leaving Shrek facing an unexpectedly difficult path.

• Mu Yuan decided he had to obtain the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone before Xiao Hongchen could fuse with it, while Du Busi suspected the auction had been used to benefit Star Luo.
• Xu Jiawei told Xu Jiujiu that Star Luo had acquired many of the Sun Moon Imperial Team’s Soul Tools for urgent study.
• Mu Yuan and Electrolux examined the Soul Tools’ concealed Core Arrays, and Electrolux agreed to help identify useful designs.
• The Body Team, Sun Moon Imperial Team, Shrek Team, and Star Luo Team advanced to the semi-finals, where Shrek drew the Body Team and Sun Moon drew Star Luo.
• Xuan Zi and Wang Yan recognized that the draw disadvantaged Shrek, while Xu Jiawei admitted through his actions that he had manipulated it to account for public opinion.

Xu Jiawei grew dissatisfied with Shrek and saw the Body Team as a way to limit the damage if Shrek lost. In the match, Xu Sanshi switched places with Tian Ming and faced Mu Yuan while the teams launched their attacks.

• Xu Jiawei blamed Shrek for neglecting the crisis facing the Douluo Three Kingdoms and decided a loss to the Body Team would be more acceptable than one to the Sun Moon Imperial Team.
• Xuan Zi urged Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng to win at any cost, and Shrek fielded them alongside Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Ling Luochen.
• Xu Sanshi awakened his Black Tortoise Martial Soul and used Black Tortoise Displacement to switch places with Tian Ming, appearing beside Mu Yuan.
• Mu Yuan challenged Xu Sanshi, while Xiao Ye and Long Aotian charged toward Shrek and the two teams unleashed their attacks.
• Huo Yuhao empowered Ling Luochen's ice attribute, allowing her to freeze Tian Ming, as Wang Dong attacked and Xu Sanshi raised his defenses before using Black Tortoise Displacement again.

Xu Sanshi displaced Dai Yueheng in an attempt to overwhelm Mu Yuan, but Mu Yuan survived Dai Yueheng’s strongest attack and answered with the God and Devil Star-Plucking Hand. The massive technique left Dai Yueheng unable to fight back, and Xu Sanshi intervened with a Black Tortoise shield as the hand descended again.

• Xu Sanshi used Black Tortoise Displacement to bring Dai Yueheng to Mu Yuan, who had been strengthened by Wei Na.
• Dai Yueheng unleashed White Tiger Destruction Kill, but Mu Yuan blocked it with his combined soul skills and quickly healed his wounds.
• Mu Yuan revealed the God and Devil Star-Plucking Hand, a powerful technique that incorporated Unity of Heaven and Man and Soul Tool Core Arrays.
• Dai Yueheng’s attack could withstand only the first strike of Mu Yuan’s hand, while Xuan Zi and Wang Yan watched in shock.
• Xu Sanshi saw that Dai Yueheng could not defend against another strike and raised a Black Tortoise shield to block Mu Yuan’s descending hand.

Mu Yuan’s power kept Shrek’s assault at bay as Xu Sanshi fell, while Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei pressed the Body Team and Huo Yuhao sought a way to restrain Mu Yuan. The Sun Moon Imperial Team decided Ma Rulong would have to use the costly Sword of Judgment, as the battle continued for Shrek’s glory.

• Xu Sanshi blocked Mu Yuan’s God and Devil Star-Plucking Hand and urged Dai Yueheng to attack Wei Na, but Mu Yuan struck Dai Yueheng with Heavenly Thunder Guidance.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Sharing to ask his teammates to restrain Mu Yuan so he and Wang Dong could use Golden Road against him.
• Xu Sanshi’s Black Tortoise Shield shattered, and the host sent him off the stage after confirming he could no longer fight.
• Mu Yuan used Heavenly Thunder Guidance to break Dai Yueheng’s White Tiger Meteor Shower attacks as Ma Xiaotao launched Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike at Long Aotian.
• Xiao Hongchen told Ma Rulong that the Sword of Judgment could exploit Mu Yuan and Ma Xiaotao’s weaknesses, and Ma Rulong accepted that he had to use it.
• Bei Bei activated the Bright Sacred Dragon Bloodline and roared that the battle was for Shrek’s glory.

The Body Team overwhelmed Shrek as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong launched successive Martial Soul Fusion Skills against Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan endured the attacks and shattered Huo Yuhao’s final mental assault, leaving only himself and Xiao Ye standing when Shrek’s defeat was announced.

• Xiao Ye used Snow Dragon Chant to overpower Bei Bei, while Long Aotian and Ma Xiaotao prepared to clash.
• Huo Yuhao asked Tian Meng whether Shrek could still win, but Tian Meng said there was no chance; Huo Yuhao then embraced Wang Dong and asked Tian Meng to help him use multiple Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong used Wither in Brilliance, Golden Road against Mu Yuan, who countered with the God and Devil Star-Plucking Hand and an explosive attack.
• The Golden Road stripped Mu Yuan of his Martial Soul and Soul Power, but he fought on with Mental Power, Blood Qi, Heavenly Thunder, and eight arms of fist shadows.
• Huo Yuhao unleashed Truth in Void, Mind Storm, but Mu Yuan shattered the illusion with Heavenly Thunder; only Mu Yuan and Xiao Ye remained standing as the others fell.
• The host confirmed Shrek’s contestants’ condition and announced, "Shrek is defeated!"

The Body Team defeated Shrek in the semi-finals after Mu Yuan’s explosive final attack, leaving the audience and Shrek’s supporters in turmoil. As Xuan Zi and Du Busi clashed over the loss, the Sun Moon Imperial Team planned how to counter the Body Team in the finals, while the Snow Empress watched from afar and recognized Huo Yuhao.

• The host corrected his mistaken announcement and declared the Body Team the winner, prompting disbelief, curses, and despair among the spectators who had backed Shrek.
• Xuan Zi reacted furiously to Shrek’s loss, and Du Busi taunted him before demanding Soul Bones as compensation for the injured students.
• Elder Ma judged Mu Yuan, Long Aotian, and Xiao Ye to be the Body Team’s greatest threats, then planned to have Ma Rulong wield the Sword of Judgment alongside Xiao Ye against Mu Yuan.
• Mu Yuan noticed that Xuan Zi had restrained himself, while the Snow Empress recognized Huo Yuhao as the insect and considered capturing him for Bingbing before acknowledging her own limits.

Snow Empress sought protection by posing as a twelve-year-old Body Martial Soul master and asking to join the Body Sect. Mu Yuan recognized her as the Snow Empress, leaving her unaware that her disguise had been seen through.

• After the semi-finals, Snow Empress decided to join the Body Sect and claimed her Heavenly Snow Woman and Snow Lotus were her Twin Martial Souls.
• Snow Empress arrived at the Body Sect’s hotel room and asked Du Busi to let her join as a Body Martial Soul master.
• Snow Empress demonstrated her Martial Souls and revealed that she was twelve, had four Soul Rings, and possessed Ultimate Ice.
• Mu Yuan connected Snow Empress’s age, cultivation, and Ultimate Ice, then concluded that she was the Snow Empress.

Snow Empress joined the Body Sect after Mu Yuan recognized her true identity as a disguised Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul. As the finals began, Mu Yuan moved to the front of the Body Team’s formation, giving the Sun Moon Imperial Team a chance to target him.

• Mu Yuan recognized Snow Empress as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and realized her Body Martial Soul was a disguise for her Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul.
• Du Busi accepted Snow Empress into the Body Sect and advised her to use high-year Soul Rings to trigger her Body Martial Soul’s Secondary Awakening.
• Snow Empress told Du Busi that she could absorb Soul Rings of at least fifty thousand years by crossing ranks, and he praised her confidence in her Body Martial Soul.
• The Body Team and the Sun Moon Imperial Team entered the finals as the crowd and Xu Jiawei hoped the Body Team would defeat their rivals.
• Mu Yuan stepped into the front row alongside Xiao Ye and Long Aotian, and Ma Rulong and Elder Ma saw an opportunity to eliminate him quickly.

Mu Yuan deliberately took the Sword of Judgment’s attack, allowing its light and darkness to detonate the Demonic Qi in his Demon Seed. As his teammates fought to end the match before his condition worsened, Xiao Ye entered his Martial Soul’s Second Awakening and the battle escalated.

• At the start of the final, Mu Yuan combined his Diamond Demon Body and Heavenly Thunder Power with his Bloodline Power and Demonic Qi.
• Ma Rulong activated the Sword of Judgment at the cost of his vitality and struck Mu Yuan with corrosive light-dark sword qi.
• The Sword of Judgment detonated the Demon Seed in Mu Yuan’s right arm, and a cloud of black power engulfed him as his Demonic Qi erupted.
• Xiao Ye urged his teammates to finish the battle while Wei Na tried to purify the harm to Mu Yuan, and Ma Rulong and the Sun Moon Imperial Team launched a full assault.
• Xiao Ye used his Martial Soul’s Second Awakening to gain Soul Saint-level combat power, while Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen prepared their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Long Aotian transformed his right hand into a Giant Axe and used Unity of Heaven and Man, Heaven and Earth Opening.

Mu Yuan used the Sword of Judgment’s strike to detonate and refine the Demonic Qi in his body, while the Body Team defeated the Sun Moon Imperial Team and won the tournament. After the victory, Xuan Zi accused Mu Yuan of being an Evil Soul Master, and he and Du Busi began trading accusations before the gathered spectators.

• Mu Yuan invoked Deep-Rooted Demon Seed and used his bloodline and life force to reshape his flesh as he refined the Demonic Qi within him.
• Xiao Ye and Long Aotian overwhelmed Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen, securing the Body Team’s victory.
• Du Busi announced the Body Team as champions, and the Snow Empress used a Snow Lotus to stabilize Mu Yuan’s Demonic Qi.
• Xuan Zi told Yan Shaozhe to watch the Shrek students, then challenged Du Busi over Mu Yuan’s Demonic Qi.
• Du Busi and Xuan Zi accused each other’s students of being Evil Soul Masters, while Elder Ma worried that their confrontation might escalate.

Xuan Zi and Du Busi accused the Sun Moon Empire of using the Sword of Judgment to create Evil Soul Masters, then clashed over who would seize it. After the tournament ended, the Sun Moon Imperial Team secretly escaped while Du Busi demanded two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones from Shrek and threatened to kill them if they refused.

• Xuan Zi and Du Busi accused Elder Ma of using the Sword of Judgment to induce Soul Masters to become Evil Soul Masters, turning the crowd against the Sun Moon Imperial Team.
• Xuan Zi tried to take the Sword of Judgment, but Du Busi drew it toward himself and revealed that he had broken through, warning Shrek to provide two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
• Xu Jiawei ended the tournament and announced that the awards ceremony would take place the next day.
• Elder Ma led the Sun Moon Imperial Team out of their hotel in disguise and ordered Xiao Hongchen to ready thirty-six Level 7 Fixed Soul Tool Cannonballs for their escape.
• Du Busi let the Sun Moon Imperial Team leave, then told Qi Lin that he would kill Shrek's people if they failed to provide the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.

At the award ceremony, Xu Jiawei showed goodwill toward the Body Sect and discussed cooperation with Du Busi, while Mu Yuan promoted the sect after the Body Team won the championship. Shrek left the city under Yan Shaozhe’s protection, with Xuan Zi warning him to avoid a direct clash with Du Busi.

• Xu Jiawei declared the tournament results, naming the Body Team champions, the Sun Moon Imperial Team runners-up, and the Shrek Team third-place winners.
• Mu Yuan announced that the Body Sect had established its headquarters outside Heaven Dou City and welcomed Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls to join.
• Xu Jiawei took the Body Team to select three Soul Bones from the Star Luo Treasury and offered to establish a Body Academy and a Body Sect branch in the Star Luo Empire.
• Du Busi considered Xu Jiawei’s offers but declined to establish a branch while the sect remained unstable, though he discussed creating a Body Academy.
• The Shrek Team departed after collecting its awards, and Xuan Zi told Yan Shaozhe to protect them and avoid confronting the newly advanced Du Busi directly.

Niu Tian ambushed Du Busi as the Body Sect pursued the Shrek Team, while Tai Tan was meant to intercept the Body Sect disciples. Mu Yuan recognized Niu Tian and warned Elder Yugu to protect the group as the danger around them escalated.

• Mu Yuan recognized Niu Tian, suspected his arrival was connected to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and warned Elder Yugu to be careful.
• Elder Yugu instructed Chi Xiao and Qi Lin to protect Mu Yuan and the others if the situation worsened.

Yu Gu and Du Busi fought Da Ming and Er Ming while Xuan Zi exploited the attack to pursue Mu Yuan’s fleeing group. Du Busi rescued the exhausted Yu Gu and withdrew, leaving the Body Sect’s retaliation unresolved.

• Yu Gu assigned Chi Xiao and Qi Lin to protect Mu Yuan and the others, then blocked Er Ming’s attack with his Gold-level Second Awakening.
• Xuan Zi watched Yu Gu fight and concluded that Immortal Herbs had caused the Body Sect’s recent breakthroughs.
• Xuan Zi decided to pursue Chi Xiao’s group so the attackers could kill Body Sect disciples and drive Du Busi to retaliate against the Clear Sky Sect.
• Da Ming and Er Ming used their domains to suppress Du Busi and Yu Gu, while Du Busi drew the battle closer to Yu Gu to protect him.
• Du Busi unleashed Death Feast, assessed Da Ming and Er Ming’s strength, then grabbed the depleted Yu Gu and fled toward Chi Xiao’s group.
• Da Ming rejected Er Ming’s suggestion to continue pursuing them, judging the Body Sect more troublesome than expected.
