Ch. 201Sea God Tang San? He'd Better Give Me a Good Fight
Plot points and events
- The Dragon Clan Squad combines its bloodline powers to perform Zhuo Shi’s advanced technique, Flying Dragon in the Sky, giving all seven members dragon wings and the ability to fly.
- Wu Zhangkong brings the squad to the Sea God Pavilion for its final exam. The elders praise their bloodline technique and urge them to take the test seriously.
- Yun Ming reveals that their opponent will be Tang San, a legendary Sea God and member of the First-generation Shrek Seven Devils. He claims Tang San has been weakened to half strength.
- Ji Fengyu suspects Shrek is hiding something. He is right: Yun Ming secretly has the virtual Tang San and the other six Devils boosted to five times their normal combat strength. Tang San also has enhanced techniques and a full arsenal of Tang Sect hidden weapons.
- In the virtual arena, the squad faces seven Soul Emperors while they themselves are only Soul Ancestors—a twenty-level gap in soul power. The chapter ends as the two captains prepare to reveal their soul rings; the fight has not yet begun.
Character developments and interactions
- Yun Ming is still devastated by Long Yeyue’s loss and clings to the final exam as something to anticipate. He nevertheless manipulates the test, believing the squad needs to be humbled.
- Ji Fengyu remains skeptical of Shrek’s grand claims and impatient with its self-important presentation. Rather than feeling intimidated by Tang San’s legend, he is eager for a real fight.
- Tang Wulin is thrilled and awed to learn he will face Tang San, whose stories he grew up hearing.
- Zhuo Shi recognizes the squad’s technique and is astonished by how quickly and skillfully they apply bloodline power.
- Tang San greets Ji Fengyu formally and courteously; the squad, meanwhile, braces for the challenge.
Significant themes
- Power and escalation: The squad’s extraordinary abilities—and Shrek’s increasingly extreme countermeasures—raise the stakes before the battle even starts.
- Legend versus reality: Tang San’s revered reputation contrasts with Ji Fengyu’s irreverent confidence and the academy’s willingness to alter the test.
- Fairness and humility: Shrek claims the exam will teach the squad humility, but secretly stacking the odds calls its fairness into question.
- Grief and duty: Yun Ming’s personal sorrow persists even as he focuses on the academy’s future and its young fighters.
