Arc 12Trials and Tournament
Lu Chen guided Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan through the Sea God trials, then returned with them to the continent as Bibi Dong moved against the old order. At the tournament, Tang San’s blood-draining power was exposed, and he accused Lu Chen while Xiao Wu denied his claims.
- Zhu Xiongwu asked Lu Chen to release Zhu Zhuqing, but Lu Chen refused and rejected the Star Luo Emperor’s offer to help unify the continent.
- Lu Chen returned to Sea God Island, where Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan completed early trials, fought Xiao Bai across the Ring Sea, and earned the Sea God’s favor.
- Dugu Yan gained a hundred-thousand-year eighth Spirit Ring, while Zhu Zhuqing transformed through the Dark Demon Evil God Bead and Xiao Wu formed a sixty-thousand-year sixth Spirit Ring.
- The three women defeated Xiao Bai and her Demon Soul Great White Sharks by luring them into a narrow strait, then Lu Chen took them back to the continent for a few months.
- Lu Chen learned that Bibi Dong had reclaimed the Pontiff’s seat and was summoning the Lower Four Sects, so he moved those sects to the Longevity Sect and prepared for the tournament.
- At the tournament, Ah Yin sensed a blood connection with Tang San, while Tang San resolved to devour her and later gained Xue Beng’s support for a campaign against Lu Chen.
- Tang San secretly killed Prince Xue Xing, then drained blood from Elephant Armor Academy competitors during a match until Huyan Zhen rescued Huyan Li and accused him of being an evil fallen spirit master.
- Huyan Zhen demanded a trial for Tang San, but Tang San accused Lu Chen of stealing Xiao Wu and framing Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu angrily denied that she had ever welcomed Tang San’s advances.
