Chapter Summaries

Xu Mengqing woke at home believing his life in Douluo World had been a vivid dream, then discovered a Golden Dragon Statue in place of his family’s ancestral tablets.

• Xu Qingshuang served breakfast and reminded Xu Mengqing to get to work, while he kept glancing uneasily at the Golden Dragon Statue.

Xu Mengqing struggled with conflicting memories after touching the Gilded Coiled Dragon Statue, which appeared to connect his ordinary modern life to his memories of slaughter and near death in Douluo World. His family insisted the statue had always guarded their home, leaving him unsure which version of his past was real.

• Xu Mengqing confronted the Gilded Dragon Sculpture, demanding to know why it had altered his memories and brought him back from Douluo World.
• The sculpture awakened in blinding golden light, opened its eyes, and asked Xu Mengqing, “Isn't this... what you've always wanted?”

Xu Mengqing learned that his peaceful family life had been an obsession-dream created at the moment he died at the hands of an Evil Soul Master. The Holy Dragon Pearl offered him Origin Dragon Blood to revive him, but he swallowed it before hearing its warning, forcing the pearl to intervene as the power began merging with his soul and body.

• Xu Mengqing saw his family and the world dissolve into nothingness, leaving him alone with the Holy Dragon Pearl above an endless sea of energy.
• The Holy Dragon Pearl told Xu Mengqing that he was dead and that his family life had been an undying obsession created at his death.
• Xu Mengqing asked if the Holy Dragon Pearl could bring him back, and it presented a drop of Origin Dragon Blood that could revive and strengthen him.
• Xu Mengqing swallowed the Origin Dragon Blood before the Holy Dragon Pearl could explain further, and the blood surged through his damaged soul toward his withered body.
• The Holy Dragon Pearl panicked over the dangerous absorption and flooded Xu Mengqing with golden divine light to calm the violent power.

Xu Mengqing survived the Evil Spirit Douluo’s fatal attack when sacred Dragon Blood Divine Light destroyed the elder and healed his wounds. Gu Yuena carried him back to the hotel while his body and Martial Souls underwent a painful transformation.

Xu Mengqing woke after his coma and discovered that his Soul Power had reached level thirty. After he described an encounter with an Evil Soul Master, Wu Zhangkong proposed that a life-or-death crisis had triggered a second awakening of Xu Mengqing’s Martial Soul, while Gu Yuena secretly learned that the battlefield’s traces had been erased by Light Holy Power.

Xu Mengqing manifested a crimson-gold Spirit Ring after absorbing Dragon Blood and discovered it granted Golden Dragon Battle Armor and Dragon Kin. He began testing Dragon Kin on the last surviving fish in the Spirit Lake.

• Xu Mengqing activated his Martial Soul Possession and watched a crimson-gold Spirit Ring form behind him.

• Xu Mengqing found that his dragon pressure had killed nearly all the Spirit Fish in the lake.
• Xu Mengqing discovered one black Golden Scale Carp still barely alive and carried it to shore.
• Xu Mengqing restrained his dragon pressure and activated Dragon Kin on the carp.

Wu Zhangkong recognized Xu Mengqing’s unusual scarlet Spirit Ring as a rare Different-Colored Spirit Ring and tested its Golden Dragon Battle Armor in a spar. Xu Mengqing overwhelmed Wu Zhangkong briefly, but the armor drained his Soul Power, leaving him exhausted as the training session continued without him.

• Wu Zhangkong halted Xu Mengqing’s attack and identified his scarlet Spirit Ring as a Different-Colored Spirit Ring, while Xu Mengqing explained that it had appeared after he woke up.

After reaching Soul Power level thirty, Xu Mengqing asked Wu Zhangkong for leave to find a third Spirit Soul that would grant him a Parasitism-type Spirit Skill. Wu Zhangkong lent him a handbook to help search, and Xu Mengqing began considering possible Spirit Beasts.

• After dinner, Xu Mengqing visited Wu Zhangkong and revealed that his Soul Power had reached level thirty.
• Xu Mengqing explained that he wanted a third Spirit Soul because his existing Spirit Souls would not grant the Spirit Skill he wanted: Parasitism.
• Wu Zhangkong gave Xu Mengqing a Soul Beast Illustrated Handbook listing Parasitism-type Spirit Beasts and warned that suitable Spirit Souls were rare.
• Xu Mengqing rejected the Soul-Devouring Maggot because its beast-type parasitism did not suit his plant-type Blue Silver King Martial Soul.
• Xu Mengqing read about the vicious plant-type Blood Flower but concluded that he could not obtain its Spirit Soul.

• Xu Mengqing opened the Soul Spirit Orb and examined the mushroom Spirit Soul.
• Xu Mengqing insisted on choosing the mushroom, believing its potential surpassed the conventional parasitic Spirit Beasts, and the deacon reluctantly agreed.

• Xu Mengqing bought the 360-year Mutated Mushroom Spirit Soul despite the steward's warnings and carried it back to Eastsea Academy.
• In the Holy Dragon Pearl Space, Xu Mengqing named the mushroom Spirit Soul Little Red and completed their fusion.
• Xu Mengqing broke through to Rank 31 Soul Elder and discovered that Parasitic Spores could rapidly spread Blue Silver King across a boulder and erode it for nutrients.

• Xu Mengqing used the Heaven Swallowing Spirit Devouring Art to direct life energy from the space's vegetation into Little Red.

Xu Mengqing and his companions began their final exam, a twenty-four-hour survival test in the Riot Period Primary Spirit Ascension Platform. As they entered, Xu Mengqing reflected on his cultivation and the newly unlocked Spirit Devouring Chapter, which required Yin Spirit Wood to begin.

• Wu Zhangkong announced that anyone who left the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform before twenty-four hours would not go to Shrek City, and offered a fight with him as a reward for lasting longer.
• Xie Xie asked Gu Yuena to help Xu Xiaoyan find a suitable second Spirit Soul when she broke through to three rings, and Gu Yuena agreed.

• Xu Mengqing’s Parasitic Spores had once spread through the Spirit Ascension Platform, draining many low-level Spirit Beasts and raising the cultivation of his Spirit Souls.

• Xu Mengqing assigned the Shadow Leopard to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who attacked as he watched for danger.
• The Shadow Leopard evaded Tang Wulin’s Blue Silver Grass, and Xie Xie used Flash Blink to launch Light Dragon Storm from above.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Mengqing defeated a powerful Shadow Leopard, then tracked down a Flame Lion Pack and prepared to confront it after nightfall. The group reached a concealed position about a thousand meters from the resting pack and waited for darkness.
