Chapter Summaries

Kuang Man passed Situ Xuan two killer moves that unified his combat abilities through battle intent and beast transformations. Situ Xuan returned to his Sun Moon Academy room and began absorbing the inheritance, refining memories of his bloody battle on Sunset Plain.

• Kuang Man taught Situ Xuan the power-path killer move Blood War Across the Eight Wastelands, which grew stronger through battle, wounds, and pain.
• Kuang Man demonstrated the transformation-path killer move Myriad Beasts Swallowing the Heavens Diagram, using beast totems to summon beasts and borrow their abilities.

• Situ Xuan awoke in his quiet chamber at Sun Moon Academy and began processing the two inherited intents.
• Situ Xuan used the battle intent to turn the pain and exhaustion from the battle on Sunset Plain into fuel for his will.

After a year of digesting Kuang Man's inheritance, Situ Xuan went to the deep sea to hunt an Ice Crystal Nether Whale, seeking a powerful soul to fuel Ten Thousand Beast Heaven-Swallowing Chart. He provoked the whale in its own waters, and it attacked him with freezing currents.

• The enraged Ice Crystal Nether Whale unleashed freezing currents and ice crystals from the deep sea toward Situ Xuan.

Situ Xuan drew the ten-thousand-year Ice Crystal Nether Whale out of the sea and fought it using his martial techniques and blood-fueled battle aura. After surviving its attacks and wounding its tail, he turned its freezing power into a storm of ice swords and prepared to strike back.

After a deep-sea battle, Situ Xuan received a request from a senior Federal power broker to gather information on Shrek Academy’s growing ties with the Star Luo Empire. The Federation feared Shrek might shift some of its strength toward Star Luo, and Situ Xuan recognized that they wanted him to disrupt the situation.

• Situ Xuan dried off after combat and answered an encrypted call from a senior Federal power broker.
• The old man told Situ Xuan that Star Luo Royal Academy and Shrek Academy had been in unusually close contact.
• The old man explained that Star Luo representatives were trying to persuade Shrek students to return with them to the Star Luo Continent.
• The old man said the Federation’s exchange visit was meant to assess Star Luo’s strength and intentions, and Shrek’s contact with the empire had alarmed officials.
• Situ Xuan understood that the Federation wanted him to interfere in the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire.

Situ Xuan agreed to infiltrate the exchange delegation and observe Shrek Academy’s contact with the Star Luo Empire, but insisted that his master Mu Ye accompany him for protection. The Federation accepted, though it warned Mu Ye’s involvement would complicate the mission and limit its support.

• Situ Xuan weighed the dangers of the assignment and decided he needed powerful protection before going to the Star Luo Continent.
• Situ Xuan demanded that Mu Ye, the Body Sect Master and a newly advanced Super Douluo, accompany him.

• The Federation agreed to contact Mu Ye but warned Situ Xuan that it might not provide unconditional support.
• Situ Xuan accepted the terms, intending to use the complicated situation to find an advantage for himself.

Situ Xuan received orders to pose as an exchange student, assess Shrek Academy’s dealings with Star Luo Royal Academy, and quietly disrupt their cooperation. After returning to Mingdu, he met the federation’s representatives and demanded payment for his and Mu Ye’s participation.

• A federal official ordered Situ Xuan to join the exchange delegation under civilian cover, investigate Shrek Academy’s contact with Star Luo Royal Academy, assess its students, and create deniable friction to hinder cooperation.
• Situ Xuan agreed, ordered the warship to return at top speed, and considered how to refine his Ice Crystal Nether Whale Totem and Bloody Battle Across the Eight Wilds before traveling to Star Luo Continent.
• Three days later, Situ Xuan met Pan Wen and An Shaojie in a confidential conference room in Mingdu.
• Situ Xuan asked what the federation would pay for his and Mu Ye’s help, and Pan Wen began arguing that the trip would benefit Situ Xuan as well.

Situ Xuan heard the military’s offer of a War God position, a senior colonel’s rank, and access to valuable resources, then asked why the Military Department was willing to invest so much in him. An Shaojie explained that Situ Xuan’s strength and victory over Shrek Academy made him valuable as an unofficial force, leaving the military’s reasons on the table.

• Pan Wen tried to persuade Situ Xuan to consider Star Luo Continent’s resources, but Situ Xuan’s cold stare silenced him.

• Situ Xuan asked An Shaojie why the Military Department offered him terms beyond what the Civilian Official System could provide.
• An Shaojie said Situ Xuan’s combat strength and potential made him worth the investment, and described their desired arrangement as a cooperative relationship.
• An Shaojie explained that Situ Xuan’s victory on Sunset Plain broke Shrek Academy’s aura of invincibility and could support the military as an unofficial force.

He entered the Military Department’s heavily guarded resource vault to choose five treasure-grade secret stores and seek ingredients for his next breakthrough.

• Situ Xuan confirmed his cover as an exchange student and military observer, then read that Cai Yue'er, Zhuo Shi, and Wu Zhangkong would lead Shrek Academy’s delegation.

Situ Xuan studied the exchange delegation files and focused on Gu Yue, curious about the power she might gain after severing her bond with Tang Wulin. He arrived in Skysea City and inspected the Star Luo Empire’s two Zhenhai Class battleships at the port, where a gathering awaited the exchange delegation.

• Situ Xuan stood on the Silver Shuttle’s foredeck, restless for intense combat after the peaceful period in Mingdu.
• Situ Xuan reflected on the powerful Soul Beasts in the ocean and the defensive measures required for maritime travel.

• Situ Xuan invited Gu Yue to follow him and stepped off the Silver Shuttle, landing gently on the surface of the sea.
