Chapter Summaries

Xu Tianming guided Xiao Hongchen to buy a set of smuggled Rank 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonballs at auction, then noticed Meng Hongchen was disappointed about missing out on a Spirit Bone. He promised to help her bid if a suitable one appeared among the final items.

• Xu Jiujiu revealed that twelve Rank 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonballs had been produced by Mingde Hall, and Xu Tianming told Xiao Hongchen to inform Jing Hongchen about the need to tighten its management.
• Xu Tianming ordered Xiao Hongchen to wait until the final seconds to bid, and Xiao bought the cannonballs for 660,000 Gold Soul Coins after no one else bid.

At the Starlight Auction, the Sun Moon Team saw a rare fifty-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion left arm Spirit Bone, and Xu Tianming warned that only a Spirit Master with Ultimate Ice could absorb it. He demonstrated his own Ultimate Ice and left Qingya facing the danger the auction house would cause if the Spirit Bone were sold to someone unsuitable.

• Xiao Hongchen teased Meng Hongchen until she grabbed him by the neck, and the private room broke into laughter.
• Xu Jiujiu introduced the auction’s eighth item, a jade-green left arm Spirit Bone from a fifty-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and Snow Empress angrily recognized it as a Soul Beast from the Far North.

• Xu Tianming released enough Ultimate Ice to coat the private room in frost, then warned Qingya that a failed absorption could ruin the Starlight Auction House’s reputation.

Xu Tianming warned Xu Jiujiu that the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Spirit Bone could only be absorbed by a Spirit Master with Ultimate Ice, then expressed interest in it. Xu Jiawei decided the Star Luo Empire would keep the bone rather than let Xu Tianming obtain it, while their plan to keep him there continued.

• Xu Tianming told Xu Jiujiu that only a Spirit Master with Ultimate Ice could safely absorb the Spirit Bone and offered compensation if his warning proved false.

• Xu Jiujiu reported Xu Tianming's warning to Xu Jiawei, who realized it explained why the empire's consecrated expert had failed to absorb the bone.
• After learning Xu Tianming was interested in the Spirit Bone and might possess Ultimate Ice, Xu Jiawei ordered Xu Jiujiu to leave it in the auction house's treasury.
• Xu Jiawei told Xu Jiujiu that the arena's destruction had bought them time to carry out their plan to keep Xu Tianming in the Star Luo Empire.

Xuan Zi convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting to share Star Luo’s warning about a teenage Title Douluo from the Sun Moon Empire, protected by a Super Douluo. Most of Shrek’s Elders supported aiding Star Luo against the boy, but Mu En condemned the plan and forbade anyone from taking part.

• Xuan Zi presented information from the Star Luo Empire describing a teenage Title Douluo with nine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings who had destroyed a competition venue with one strike.

• Cai Mei'er told Xuan Zi that Yan Shaozhe was in Star Luo City and described their plan to cheat in the tournament.
• Cai Mei'er urged Xuan Zi to help eliminate Xu Tianming, citing his strength and his Title Douluo protector, but Xuan Zi hesitated because of Mu En.

Du Busi learned of Xu Tianming’s astonishing power and a Body Martial Soul Title Douluo, and decided to travel to Star Luo City.

• Beibei asked Ling Luochen about meeting Xu Tianming in the Far North, and she confirmed he had helped her obtain her fifth Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao wondered why Xu Tianming had attacked him so severely, and Beibei suggested it was because Huo Yuhao joined Shrek Academy instead of accepting Xu Tianming’s recruitment.

Xu Jiujiu revealed that the Starlight Auction House’s finale was a Dragon Pill formed from the essence of a dragon Soul Beast over one hundred thousand years old. Its power could evolve a dragon Martial Soul and strengthen other Spirit Masters, but absorbing it carried deadly risks, and Xu Tianming left Xiao Hongchen’s questions unanswered.

• Xu Jiujiu appeared in golden auction attire and hinted that the finale could be worth over one hundred million Gold Soul Coins.
• Xu Jiujiu showed the bidders a golden orb sealed in a Glazed Cup and explained that it was a one-use heavenly treasure.
• Xu Jiujiu revealed the orb was a Dragon Pill formed from a dragon Soul Beast over one hundred thousand years old, and warned that its powerful energy and violent death aura made it dangerous to absorb.
• Beibei recognized the Dragon Pill and recalled that Mu En had been crippled by the violent aura of one he consumed.
• Xu Tianming judged the Dragon Pill to be a rare treasure, though less valuable than the Snow Empress Embryo, while Xiao Hongchen asked him to explain its effects.

Xu Tianming explained the Dragon Pill’s dangers and potential, while Beibei urged Wang Yan to secure it for Shrek Academy. Wang Yan lacked the authority to bid, and as the auction intensified, Xu Tianming raised the price to 130 million Gold Soul Coins and declared he would have the Dragon Pill.

• Xu Tianming described the Dragon Pill’s powers and warned that consuming it without sufficient strength and spiritual power could kill or transform its user.

• Beibei insisted that Shrek Academy should win the Dragon Pill and suggested borrowing money from the Star Luo Imperial Family, but Wang Yan said only Yan Shaozhe could authorize such a purchase.
• Wang Yan refused to seek a loan in Shrek Academy’s name, leaving Beibei dejected and resentful toward Yan Shaozhe.
• Bidders drove the price above one hundred million Gold Soul Coins, and Xu Tianming ordered Qingya to raise it to 130 million before asking Ma Yun and Xiao Hongchen for funds.

Xu Tianming won the Dragon Pill at auction for 130 million Gold Soul Coins, then paid 104 million after Xu Jiujiu’s discount. After inspecting the prize, he announced that he planned to enter seclusion in Star Luo City, leaving his Sun Moon team worried about his safety and absence from the tournament.

• Xiao Hongchen offered to lend Xu Tianming the money for his 130-million-Gold-Soul-Coin bid, and the other bidders stopped competing.
• In VIP Room Three, Yu Tao told Wei Na that the Body Sect should take the Dragon Pill after learning which faction won it.
• Xu Jiujiu brought the Dragon Pill to Xu Tianming and confirmed that the auction house’s 20 percent discount reduced his payment to 104 million Gold Soul Coins.
• Xu Tianming paid for and examined the Dragon Pill, then told Elder Ma and Xiao that he intended to enter seclusion before the tournament resumed.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen urged Xu Tianming to wait until the team returned to Ming Capital, warning that Star Luo City was unsafe.

• Xu Tianming released the Dragon Pill from the Glazed Cup and used the third eye on his forehead to draw out its black qi.
• The black qi surged from the Dragon Pill and formed the shape of a dragon-like Soul Beast.

Xu Tianming purified the Dragon Pill’s remnant consciousness and swallowed its energy, but the pill awakened an overwhelming desire within him. Electrolux told Snow Empress that joining with Xu Tianming was the only way to save him, leaving her to decide whether to help.

• Xu Tianming and Snow Empress found that the Dragon Pill’s owner was an unknown, vicious Dragon Clan Soul Beast whose remnant consciousness challenged Xu Tianming.
• Xu Tianming used the Eye of Life to purify the dragon’s remnant, turning its black mist into pure golden energy.
• After Electrolux confirmed the purified Dragon Pill was safe, Xu Tianming swallowed it and absorbed its energy.
• The Dragon Pill’s innate heat overwhelmed Xu Tianming, and the Gold of Life could not suppress the desire it ignited.
• Electrolux explained to Snow Empress that the Dragon Pill’s effect could burn Xu Tianming alive unless he released it, and said she was the only one who could help.
• Snow Empress hesitated at Electrolux’s proposed union of yin and yang, asking how she could help while she was only a spiritual body.

Electrolux sealed Xu Tianming’s spirit body in his Sea of Consciousness and guided him and Snow Empress through a ritual to calm the dangerous heat affecting him. The two souls grew intimate as the ritual took effect, while Electrolux watched over Xu Tianming’s body and saw his expression settle.

• Snow Empress agreed to follow Electrolux’s plan to help Xu Tianming, then returned to his Sea of Consciousness.

• Their souls entwined, and the growing pink light concealed them as their suppressed sounds echoed through the Sea of Consciousness.
• Electrolux saw Xu Tianming’s expression calm and concluded that his body should be fine.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen worried about Xu Tianming’s prolonged seclusion and the danger surrounding the Sun Moon team. As the tournament reached the semifinals, Xu Jiawei arranged for Shrek and the Sun Moon team to face each other, while Xuan Zi wrongly concluded Xu Tianming had fled and remained confident Shrek would win.

• Xu Jiawei ordered the Shrek team and the Sun Moon team into the same semifinal bracket to draw Xu Tianming out and improve the Star Luo team’s chances of reaching the finals.
• Xuan Zi claimed Xu Tianming had left for the Sun Moon Empire out of fear, and Yan Shaozhe questioned his reasoning.
• Xuan Zi declared Shrek would defeat the Sun Moon team and blamed Wang Yan for letting the Dragon Pill fall into the Sun Moon Empire’s hands.

In the Undead Half-Plane, Xu Tianming and the Snow Empress recovered from their ordeal, and he promised to find a way to restore her body.

• Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe discussed the powerful Super Douluo who had appeared with Xu Tianming and wondered whether conflict within the Body Sect had drawn it toward the Sun Moon Empire.

• Xu Tianming and the Snow Empress finished their recovery in the Undead Half-Plane, and Xu Tianming promised to find a way to give her a body again.

Xu Tianming absorbed the Dragon Pill’s energy, reaching the rank seventy Soul Power bottleneck and gaining a sixth Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. After the tournament draw paired Shrek Academy against the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy in the semi-finals, Shrek’s leaders discussed using Mo Xuan’s Soul Skill without drawing attention.

Xu Tianming emerged from seclusion after absorbing the Dragon Pill and learned that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Team would face Shrek Academy in the Semi-Finals. He arranged a large bet on his team’s victory and learned that Kong Deming had arrived in Star Luo City to protect him.

• After the Semi-Finals matchups were announced, Ma Yun and the Hongchen siblings worried about facing Shrek Academy, while Xiao Hongchen insisted their team could win without Xu Tianming.
• Xu Tianming returned from seclusion, confirmed the Shrek match, and said he planned to recoup the team’s auction expenses by betting on the tournament.
• Ma Yun and the Hongchen siblings revealed that they had one hundred million in remaining funds, and Xu Tianming sent Ma Yun to bet it all on their victory.
• After sending the team away to prepare, Xu Tianming summoned Leng Yulai and Mu Ye, who told him that Kong Deming had also arrived in Star Luo City.
• Xu Tianming learned that Kong Deming had come because the Three Douluo Kingdoms and Shrek Academy intended to harm him, and warned that he would turn Star Luo City upside down if they acted against him.

Xu Sanshi’s maneuver gave Shrek a temporary advantage, but Xiao Hongchen unleashed a barrage from 128 Soul Guidance Cannons. Shrek’s Invincible Barriers blocked the attack, leaving Xuan Zi questioning whether Shrek Academy’s education system had failed its students.

• Xu Sanshi used his fourth Soul Skill to swap Ma Rulong into Shrek’s formation while Ma Xiaotao attacked the Sun Moon team with Phoenix Meteor Shower.
