Chapter Summaries

After Di Yang fell, two transmigrators ambushed the exhausted Snow Empress and tried to claim her armor and Di Yang’s Summoner. Two rival groups arrived and fought over the artifacts, then all three groups attacked Snow Empress, who remained ready to resist.

• A halberd-wielding transmigrator killed Di Yang and took his Emperor Summoner while his partner wounded Snow Empress.
• Bu Yuntian and Su Ling moved to claim Snow Empress’s armor, but the Mystic Beast Sect led by Black Bear and Lu Feng’s transmigrator squad arrived to contest the treasure.
• The three groups formed a standoff, each recognizing that Snow Empress could forfeit and send the armor to Spirit Hall.
• Bu Yuntian and Su Ling attacked Snow Empress while Lu Feng fired at her knees to cripple her.

Snow Empress fought off a three-sided assault from Bu Yuntian, Black Bear, and Lu Feng, but their combined attacks left her badly wounded and close to defeat. Just as Bu Yuntian moved in to finish her, a streak of silver sword light crashed into the battlefield and forced him to defend himself.

• Black Bear and the Mystic Beast Sect disciples attacked Snow Empress while Bu Yuntian and Su Ling fought them, and Lu Feng fired at his rivals as well as at Snow Empress.

• Spectators watching the battle believed Snow Empress could no longer hold on as Bu Yuntian stepped forward to deliver a final blow.
• A silver sword light plunged from the clouds and swept across the battlefield, forcing Bu Yuntian to raise his halberd and block.

A silver-clad swordsman slaughtered the contestants who had attacked Snow Empress, then revealed that she was also within his intended targets. Wounded and nearly out of power, Snow Empress faced him again and prepared to decide whether to fight or withdraw.

• A silver-clad swordsman arrived, killed Bu Yuntian and Su Ling, and then wiped out Black Bear, Lu Feng, and their remaining teammates.

• The swordsman said Snow Empress was within the scope of his targets, overturning the spectators’ assumption that he had come to rescue her.
• Snow Empress recognized that her strength was nearly exhausted, while Ice Empress pleaded with her to retreat and recover.
• Snow Empress drew her bow again, then closed her eyes, steadied herself, and prepared to speak as the swordsman raised his blade.

The Snow Empress escaped the silver figure by giving up and was teleported out of the secret realm. After Spirit Hall’s unexplained healing intervention, she took a seat to watch the tournament while the continent’s factions plotted to recruit her and secure the god-level armor.

• The Snow Empress gave up, triggering the secret realm’s rules and escaping the silver figure’s attack as he vowed to hunt other contestants for their fortune.

• Four figures emerged from the forest, and their arrogant leader ordered the Loafing Squad to withdraw or be eliminated.

Qian Gujue, Oupai, and Gui Mengguan defeated four sect disciples before following a surge of Soul Power deeper into the forest. They found Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong protecting an injured Wolf while Zhu Zhuqing’s possessed body fought Lu You, who claimed he had attacked Wolf because he was a humanoid soul beast.

• Four armed sect disciples tried to ambush Qian Gujue, Oupai, and Gui Mengguan, but Qian Gujue defeated them in three strikes with his Coiling Dragon Staff.
• Gui Mengguan warned that a ten-thousand-year soul beast was approaching, so the trio gathered their things and moved deeper into the forest.
• The trio found Wolf badly wounded, Ning Rongrong healing him, and Xiao Wu guarding them as Zhu Zhuqing’s body, controlled by a hidden white tiger transmigrator, fought Lu You.
• Lu You said he had attacked Wolf because he was a humanoid soul beast and claimed he had acted for the girls’ protection.
• Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong rejected Lu You’s justification and defended Wolf as one of their own.

• Lu You broke free of Xiao Wu’s Charm as Bai Shang’s possession of Zhu Zhuqing began to destabilize.

• Lu You's claw neared Xiao Wu's shoulder, but multicolored attacks struck him and inflicted severe pain and damage.
• Lin Yue stepped out from behind a tree, and Xiao Wu recognized her and warned Lu You that he was finished.

Lin Yue arrived to protect Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Wolf, then fought Lu You with her martial soul, Evil Repeller. She pierced Lu You’s shoulder and pinned him against a tree, leaving him badly wounded.

• Lu You used his fourth soul skill to increase his strength, while Lin Yue’s runes weakened his armor and steadily forced him back.
• Lu You unleashed his fifth soul skill, Bear King Shakes Mountain, but Lin Yue pierced through its phantom paw and drove her spear into his shoulder.

Lin Yue fought Lu You after he revealed that he was another transmigrator, but he countered her assault by forming a dark-gold Soul Armor Avatar. Lin Yue continued attacking as her combo built and a faint golden light began to emerge around her, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Lu You recognized Lin Yue as a ruthless transmigrator, rejected the possibility of negotiation, and tried to flee before sensing a powerful presence in his path.

• Lu You gained speed and strength from the armor and struck back, while Lin Yue kept up her close-range combo and began to glow faintly with golden light.

Lin Yue used her Battle Mage’s Fighter Form to overpower Lu You and defeat him with Subduing Dragon Soars to Heaven. Lu You was left bloodied and unable to move in a crater, while Lin Yue’s golden armor faded away.

• Lin Yue’s relentless spear combos damaged Lu You’s Dark Gold Soul Armor as her power grew with the combo count.
• After the combo count passed one hundred and twenty, Lin Yue activated Fighter Form and overwhelmed Lu You with her speed and strength.
• Lu You unleashed Sky-Tearing Claw and raised layered defenses, but Lin Yue evaded his attacks and continued striking the same spots on his armor.
• Desperate, Lu You charged Lin Yue in an attempt to trade injuries, but she stopped him with Falling Flower Palm and sent him flying.
• Lin Yue launched Subduing Dragon Soars to Heaven, which crushed Lu You’s remaining armor and drove him into a deep crater.
• Lu You’s martial soul was dismissed, and Lin Yue landed as her golden battle armor and spear returned to their usual appearance.

• Ning Rongrong argued that her team could have beaten Lu You if he had not ambushed Wolf, but Lin Yue warned that battle offered no guarantees of honor or mercy.
• Ning Rongrong acknowledged Lin Yue’s warning, while Xiao Wu asked whether they truly had to withdraw; Lin Yue said they would not reach the end if they stayed.

Lin Yue warned Ning Rongrong's group about the dangers ahead, while Bai Ci revealed that his blood-based Martial Soul could heal Wolf and strengthen him by absorbing blood. The group decided to continue despite the risks, as observers outside the realm speculated that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might eventually surpass Spirit Hall.

Tournament spectators debated whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's exceptional young fighters would win and how the tournament might reshape the continent's power structure. Inside the mystic realm, Xiao Chengu confronted a group that had stayed hidden, and Ning Rongrong agreed to be more cautious but refused to leave early.

• Bibi Dong suggested that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was likely to win, while Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, the Star Luo prince, Yu Yuanzhen, and Huyan Zhen weighed the factions' strengths and the tournament's uncertain outcome.
• Xiao Chengu sensed Gui Mengguan, Qian Gujue, Oupai, and the others nearby and called them out of hiding.

• Wei Wuyuan launched Meteor Mountain Barrage, and Tang San blocked the fist storm before countering with his spear.
