• Long Zhanye used his Double Pupil to see that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had just given birth and was guarding its two newborn cubs inside the burrow.
• Moved by thoughts of his own mother, Long Zhanye resolved to protect the mother bear and her cubs from the three Evil Soul Masters.
• When Zhongli Tian announced that he was about to attack, Long Zhanye told him to wait and claimed there were two Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears over fifty thousand years old fifteen kilometers to the northwest.

• Long Zhanye calmly said they could find out by going to look.

• Long Zhanye watched the Zhongli Brothers leave to hunt the bears, then followed them after checking that the mother bear and her cubs were safe.

• Zhongli Tian's Beast Spirit charged at the two bears, and Long Zhanye recalled Elder Gu's explanation that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears were rare because they had almost no ability to reproduce.

Long Zhanye recalled how rare it was for Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears to reproduce as Zhongli Tian and his brothers attacked a male bear. Long Zhanye used a Chaos Qi illusion to make the brothers believe he was holding off the female while he watched from hiding.

• Long Zhanye remembered Elder Gu's explanation that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears were solitary, had infrequent estrus periods, and rarely produced offspring.
• Zhongli Tian ordered an attack, then vanished as his blood-colored Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Beast Spirit struck the male bear.
• Zhongli Di and Zhongli Ren joined Zhongli Tian in surrounding and attacking the male Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, while Zhongli Tian ordered Long Zhanye to hold off the female.
• Long Zhanye opened his Heavenly Eye, spread Chaos Qi across the battlefield, and sent a Sixth Soul Skill illusion to fight the female while his true body hid in a tree.
• The Zhongli Brothers' senses were restricted by the mist, but they saw the illusion battling the female and focused on attacking the male.

The Zhongli Brothers used countless Beast Spirits to trap and exhaust a male Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but it feigned weakness and fatally wounded Zhongli Ren. The bear then charged at Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di, intent on killing the Evil Soul Masters who had harmed its mate.

• The Zhongli Brothers sent their Beast Spirits to attack the male Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and used a blood-colored barrier to trap it.

• The bear lunged at Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di, enraged by their attack on its mate.

• Long Zhanye kept his Puppet circling and provoking the female Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear while hiding his true strength and considering whether the Evil Soul Masters would betray him.
• Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di killed the male Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but Zhongli Di suffered a serious arm injury.

• The explosion blasted the female Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear back and knocked Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di down with the shockwave.
• The Zhongli brothers sent the Ghost Shadow Leopard Emperor and Nether Ghost Tiger to tear into the weakened bear as it continued to struggle.

Long Zhanye watched Zhongli Tian extract the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears’ souls, then revealed he had never been injured and claimed their Soul Rings. He left Zhongli Tian realizing that Long Zhanye had been manipulating them from the beginning.

• Zhongli Tian extracted the souls of the two slain Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears into his staff while Long Zhanye studied his technique.
• Long Zhanye asked Zhongli Tian for the bears’ Soul Rings, and Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di reluctantly agreed to give them up after noticing Long Zhanye was unharmed.
• Long Zhanye stored the bears’ roughly fifty-thousand- and sixty-thousand-year Soul Rings, intending to absorb them later in a safe place.
• Long Zhanye sat beside Zhongli Tian and asked how he controlled Beast Souls, leaving Zhongli Tian shocked as he realized Long Zhanye’s injuries and weakness had been an act.

• Zhongli Tian revealed the secret art for controlling Beast Souls after Long Zhanye threatened him with a Level 7 Fixed Soul Cannon.

• Long Zhanye showed Zhongli Tian the Cyclops-filled basin and declared that the whole horde was his target.
• Long Zhanye explained that he would ambush the Cyclopes when they emerged at night, while Zhongli Tian silently plotted to kill him and reclaim his belongings.
• Long Zhanye used his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul to sense Zhongli Tian's intended attack but concealed that he knew about it.
• After about two hours, Long Zhanye spread Gold Wolf King blood around the basin, leaving one funnel-shaped gap to channel the Cyclopes toward an ambush.

Long Zhanye prepared an elaborate Soul Tool trap at the basin’s exit, planning to force the Cyclopes out and kill them in large numbers. He ordered the injured Zhongli Tian to create a disturbance behind the herd, while the Cyclopes began funneling toward the trapped passage.

• Long Zhanye placed seven Pseudo Sun Moon God Needles above the basin’s exit and arranged two Level 7 and more than thirty Level 6 Fixed Soul Cannons into a linkage device.
• Zhongli Tian watched Long Zhanye’s preparations and grew furious, blaming him for failing to help during the hunt that killed Zhongli Tian’s brothers.
• Long Zhanye told Zhongli Tian to circle around behind the Cyclopes and drive them out, and Zhongli Tian reluctantly agreed out of fear.
• Night fell, and the Cyclops tribe began moving toward the exit to hunt.
• The Cyclopes avoided the nearby Gold Wolf King’s aura and found the funnel-shaped passage, unaware it was Long Zhanye’s death trap.

Long Zhanye used explosions and the Pseudo Sun Moon God Needles to slaughter Cyclopes pouring from their nest, then turned their corpses into bombs with the forbidden Corpse Explosion Technique. After replenishing his Soul Power, he detonated the linked corpses and retreated to safety as the battle continued.

• Linked Soul Bombs exploded at the exit, and Zhongli Tian threw Cyclopes into the panicked herd to drive it forward.
• Long Zhanye fired the seven Pseudo Sun Moon God Needles into the Cyclopes as they rushed through the exit, killing more than twelve hundred in under fifteen minutes.
• With his bombs and traps exhausted, Long Zhanye calculated that he needed more corpses and Soul Rings to improve his chances of achieving the Secret Spirit Bone Technique.
• Long Zhanye used the Corpse Explosion Technique taught by Masked Douluo to link nearly a thousand Cyclops corpses, replenishing his Soul Power with six level-seven compressed Milk Bottles.
• Long Zhanye detonated the linked corpses while the Pseudo Sun Moon God Needle kept firing, then retreated several hundred steps to watch from a safe place.

Long Zhanye used Corpse Explosion to kill over three thousand Cyclops, then collected their souls to refine a Secret Spirit Bone Left Arm. After absorbing it and taking a roughly sixty-five-thousand-year soul ring as his seventh, he remained amid the battlefield with thousands of other soul rings left to consider.

• Long Zhanye saw that Zhongli Tian had died in the chain of explosions, which had left over three thousand Cyclops corpses across the basin.
• Long Zhanye judged that more than three thousand Cyclops still remained, including the elderly and young, so the population was not at risk of extinction.
• Long Zhanye placed the three Staffs in a triangular formation and collected the dead Cyclops' souls into the gems atop them.
• Long Zhanye used the gathered energy to refine and absorb a silver-gray Secret Spirit Bone Left Arm that granted him two skills.
• Long Zhanye found a roughly sixty-five-thousand-year soul ring among the corpses and successfully absorbed it as his seventh soul ring.

Long Zhanye raised the ages of his Soul Rings using energy from thousands of Cyclopes, then absorbed two Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Rings into his second Martial Soul.

• Long Zhanye finished raising his Soul Rings, revealing that several had gained golden patterns and reached extraordinary ages.

• Long Zhanye received the gray-black Soul-Absorbing Tablet and sensed the powerful force within it.

• Long Zhanye suffered a violent surge of dizziness, and silver-white light burst from his Heavenly Eye before his Double Pupil and Heavenly Eye evolved.
• Long Zhanye discovered that his enhanced Double Pupil could perceive everything within a hundred li and that his Mental Power had grown to a level comparable to a Title Douluo.

Long Zhanye met with his fellow Body Sect members, giving them defensive weapons, Sealed Milk Bottles, and a Spirit Bone while explaining why he could not compete for the sect. He reaffirmed his determination to take revenge on Shrek himself, even as Long Aotian promised to help him.

• Long Zhanye revealed seven Pseudo Sun Moon God Needles and explained that he could not compete for the Body Sect because he had promised Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy one match.
• Long Zhanye gave his senior brothers and sisters seven Level 6 Sealed Milk Bottles and offered Vina a forty-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
• Vina refused to accept the Spirit Bone as repayment, reminding Long Zhanye that the Hundred Thousand Year Head Spirit Bone had been Shrek's compensation to him.

• Long Zhanye said he still sought revenge on Shrek, and Vina apologized that the Body Sect could not readily help him.
• Long Aotian vowed to help destroy Shrek after reaching Limit Douluo, but Long Zhanye insisted the grudge was his to settle personally.
