Chapter Summaries

Tang San survived Shui Bing’er's Ice Blasts but was trapped in a dilemma between keeping his draining barrier up and facing her ice spikes. He proposed a one-strike wager, leaving the arena stunned and the VIP spectators mocking him and Poseidon.

• Tang San endured Shui Bing’er's explosions behind the Blood Sea Trident’s barrier, but the three ice spikes kept him from lowering it.
• Shui Bing'er waited for Tang San’s Soul Power to run out, knowing she could detonate the spikes if he dropped his defense.
• Tang San recognized her strategy and proposed that they remove their defenses and decide the match with their strongest attacks in one strike.
• The arena fell silent as Tang San announced his wager, while Golden Crocodile and the other worshippers ridiculed him and spread stories about Poseidon and Bo Saixi.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were defeated by Shui Bing'er, but Xiao Wu recovered a buried memory revealing that Ao Zhan had killed her mother. She turned her fury toward Ao Zhan in the VIP room, while Shui Bing'er wondered whether Xiao Wu was trying to frame him.

• Poseidon kept Tang San barely alive with Sea God's Light, and Flender carried him off the arena.

• As Xiao Wu struggled to rise, she remembered Ao Zhan killing her mother and absorbing her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.
• Xiao Wu accused Ao Zhan of killing her mother and vowed to kill him, leaving Shui Bing'er baffled and wary.

Ao Zhan and the others concluded that someone had altered Xiao Wu’s memories, making her believe Ao Zhan killed her mother. Shui Bing’er defeated Xiao Wu with an explosive frost attack, and Ma Hongjun took the field next.

• Ao Zhan, Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue, and Snow Empress discussed Xiao Wu’s belief that Ao Zhan had killed her mother and suspected someone had tampered with her memories.
• Ao Zhan and Snow Empress reasoned that the person manipulating events had begun acting but would likely remain hidden.

• Shui Bing’er’s ice fragments exploded around Xiao Wu, leaving her bloodied and unconscious as Liu Erlong rushed to carry her away.
• Ma Hongjun entered the field, released his Rakshasa Evil Phoenix Martial Soul, and rose into the air amid blazing Evil Fire.

Shui Bing'er exploited Ma Hongjun’s overconfidence and exhausted Soul Power to defeat her with a devastating ice attack. With Shrek down to four fighters, Zhu Zhuqing planned to wear Shui Bing'er down before Dai Mubai faced her last.

• Ma Hongjun used her Rakshasa Evil Flame to overwhelm Shui Bing'er, unaware that Shui Bing'er was deliberately pretending to struggle.
• Ma Hongjun spent nearly all her Soul Power on a huge fireball, but Shui Bing'er dodged it and struck her with Profound Ice Phoenix Wing Slash.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Dai Mubai that she, Tai Long, and Huang Yuan would try to drain Shui Bing'er's strength before Dai Mubai faced her.

• Shui Bing'er froze Zhu Zhuqing and blasted her into a severe injury after Zhu Zhuqing tried to evade her aerial attacks.
• Tai Long relived the massacre of his clan by the Angel Legion, but Shui Bing'er froze him and eliminated him.
• Huang Yuan lost his ability to fight as the arena's cold drained his Soul Power.

• The Skywater Team won after Shui Bing'er defeated all seven Shrek opponents alone.

After learning that Shrek had been defeated seven against one, Ao Zhan asked Qian Xunji to make sure Yu Xiaogang heard about it. Qian Xunji visited Spirit Hall Prison to see Yu Xiaogang and began plotting how to torment him further.

• Ao Zhan told Qian Xunji that Shrek had lost seven against one and asked him to pass the news to Yu Xiaogang.
• Qian Xunji spoke with Qian Renxue, then went to Spirit Hall Prison and asked the Warden about Yu Xiaogang.
• The Warden reported that Yu Xiaogang had been placed in the Philosophy Room, where the Philosophy Masters had been tormenting him.
• Qian Xunji ordered the guards to bring Yu Xiaogang out and called someone to come to the prison.

• The Warden had Yu Xiaogang cleaned up and brought him to his office, where Qian Xunji was waiting.

• Yu Xiaogang feared dying before Tang San became a god and threatened that Tang San would avenge him.
• Qian Xunji pointed out that Tang San and Spirit Hall were already enemies, and Yu Xiaogang began looking for something that would make Qian Xunji spare him.

Qian Xunji rejected Yu Xiaogang’s attempts to bargain for his life and revealed that Spirit Hall would kill Tang San regardless of whether he opposed them. He also told Yu Xiaogang that Shrek had been badly defeated in the tournament and that Spirit Hall alone controlled the competition, leaving Yu Xiaogang stunned.

• Yu Xiaogang claimed he could become Tang San’s father and keep him from opposing Spirit Hall, but Qian Xunji dismissed the idea and said Tang San would be killed anyway.

• Lin Dongyao said she was Spirit Hall’s Spider Emperor Elder, not Bibi Dong, and that Bibi Dong was dead.

Lin Dongyao rejected Yu Xiaogang’s claim that she was Bibi Dong and mocked him for abandoning Liu Erlong instead of using their relationship to gain influence in his clan. Her argument made Yu Xiaogang realize how much he might have gained by staying with Liu Erlong and bringing her and Flender back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Yu Xiaogang insisted Lin Dongyao was Bibi Dong and tried to persuade her to rekindle their romance and free him.
• Lin Dongyao denied being Bibi Dong, said Bibi Dong was dead, and pointed out that Yu Xiaogang had later fallen in love with Liu Erlong.
• Lin Dongyao explained that Yu Xiaogang could have used the Star Luo Imperial Family’s marriages as precedent and gained standing by staying with Liu Erlong and bringing Flender into the clan.
• Yu Xiaogang reconsidered his past choices and realized that staying with Liu Erlong might have given him influence, powerful allies, and a stronger position in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Yu Tiankuo attacked Tian Yao with Thunder Thrust, but she evaded him and wounded him with her speed and sword techniques.

• A Wind God Team member challenged Ye Lingyun, but Ye Lingyun knocked him out of the arena within a few moves.

Ye Lingyun defeated the Wind God Team one opponent at a time until only its captain, Simon, remained. He broke Simon’s Hurricane Domain and tornado, then left Simon injured and unable to move as the Super Beast Team secured another victory.

• Ye Lingyun quickly defeated the Wind God Team members until Simon was the only one left.

After Yu Yuanzhen advised Yu Tiankuo to improve his lightning control, the Shrek Team struggled to recover from Shui Bing'er's Ultimate Ice attack. Ma Hongjun learned that the Rakshasa God could quickly restore one person, but the price was deep exchanges with Tang San.

• Yu Yuanzhen told Yu Tiankuo to use lightning in broader attacks and train his control after Thunder Thrust failed against Tian Yao.

• The injured Shrek Team continued recovering, while Tang San explained that Shui Bing'er's Ultimate Ice had left everyone except Ma Hongjun still weakened.
• Ma Hongjun slipped away and asked the Rakshasa Divine Will how it could restore one person's strength.
• Ma Hongjun chose Tang San for the recovery opportunity, and the Rakshasa God said the sacrifice was to have deep exchanges with him.

The Rakshasa God told Ma Hongjun that she could use a deep exchange to pass her Rakshasa Evil Flame to a teammate and remove the chill, and Ma Hongjun agreed despite her discomfort. The plan stalled when she revealed that Tang San, Dai and Xiao Ao were eunuchs, while the Rakshasa God and Asura God refused to restore Tang San, leaving the solution unresolved.

• The Rakshasa God explained that Ma Hongjun could drive the chill from a teammate by having them absorb her Rakshasa Evil Flame during a deep exchange.

• Ma Hongjun pointed out that Tang San, Dai and Xiao Ao had been castrated, making the proposed exchange impossible with them.

• The Rakshasa God suspected Poseidon had a hidden scheme involving Tang San and chose not to investigate.

The Rakshasa God and Asura God arranged for Ma Hongjun to use a secret method to remove Tang San’s cold, and Ma Hongjun carried it out while he was under the influence of Lustful Power. Tang San woke furious, but discovered the cold was gone and the Blood Sea Trident had grown stronger.

• The Asura God suggested Ma Hongjun take the initiative instead of Tang San, and the Rakshasa God agreed to tell her how.
• Ma Hongjun woke Tang San and persuaded him to leave the tent, claiming she could cure his cold in secret.

• Afterward, Tang San came to his senses and angrily confronted Ma Hongjun about what had happened.
• Ma Hongjun explained the method, and Tang San discovered that the cold had vanished and the Blood Sea Trident had strengthened.
