Chapter Summaries

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling lured Tang San into a swarm of snakes and secretly activated the Seed inside him. They flew away to watch what happened next.

• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling grew tired of hunting Hunters and flew toward a presence Dugu Yan sensed near a giant tree.

• Tang San fled through the trees as the snakes pursued him, while Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling watched without intervening.
• Dugu Yan told Ye Lingling to catalyze the Seed inside Tang San, and Ye Lingling used a Begonia flower to activate it.
• Dugu Yan carried the exhausted Ye Lingling into the sky so they could watch the experiment unfold.

Tang San fled a growing swarm of snakes while recalling his bitter history with Dugu Yan and his refusal to help her. Cornered, he tried to bargain with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, but revealing the Scroll drew other contestants out of hiding.

• Tang San failed to shake the snake swarm, and figures in the sky repeatedly stopped him from setting the forest ablaze.
• Tang San recognized Dugu Yan and remembered refusing her request for Spirit Bones because of the Dugu Family’s past, while hiding his knowledge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Tang San placed the Scroll on the ground and proposed a wager, claiming that killing him would not guarantee they got his token.
• Ye Lingling pointed out that they did not know whether Tang San had a token, and several wary figures emerged from the forest when he revealed the Scroll.

Tang San tried to challenge Bianka to a bet, but Qian Ningshuang recognized signs of Li An's Sin Scepter influence and hurled him away.

• Dugu Yan explained that the experiment would be accelerated and that Tang San would need extra food, while Qian Ningshuang approved and declined to handle it herself.

After a Specialized Monitor and the Spirit Master assigned to check it vanished from Spirit City, Qian Renxue ordered a continent-wide hunt while refusing to recall Shuang'er.

A blood-robed figure killed the man who delivered a bag and prepared to relocate the Capital of Slaughter, while Asura summoned gods to prepare for a descent on Douluo Planet. Tang San revived the Blood-Colored Small Sword for help, only to learn that he was pregnant with twins because Blue Silver Grass had no gender.

• Asura told Tang San he was pregnant with twins, explaining that Blue Silver Grass had no gender.

Tang San learned that he was pregnant with two living beings protected by the aura of time, making them impossible to detect or destroy through ordinary means. He suspected Camelot was responsible and left the conversation believing that a legendary Time God King might be behind the kingdom.

• The Blood-Colored Small Sword told Tang San that the Greedy Ape, his Blue Silver Grass bloodline, and Camelot's tricks had caused his pregnancy.

• Feng Xiaotian said they had no time for seven matches and offered a single match instead, while refusing to fight Tang San himself as a Paladin.
• Feng Xiaotian declared that Tang San would fight all six of his companions in the single match, dimming Tang San’s hopes of winning his freedom.

Tang San tried to escape the Three Elements team, but his Sea God's Thirteen Halberds failed against their defenses and the Asura God took control of his body to break him out of an ice trap. The Asura God then abandoned him mid-escape, leaving Tang San surrounded and furious.
