Chapter Summaries

Xu Yuan learned that Tong Yu had not reached the Ultimate Douluo level and planned to help resolve his obsession, hoping to recruit him into the Body Sect. After returning to Star Luo City, Xu Yuan brought Yaoyao and Jue primordial energy from Five Elements Lake to aid their growth.

• Mu Ye pulled Xu Yuan away from Tong Yu and warned him that the imprisoned Qilin Douluo was mentally unstable and dangerous.
• Xu Yuan told Mu Ye Tong Yu’s publicly known history and explained that his Level Ninety-Eight cultivation and unresolved obsession might let him reach the Ultimate Douluo level.
• Xu Yuan proposed helping Tong Yu resolve his obsession and recruiting him to lead a Qilin Bloodline branch of the Body Sect, while Mu Ye cautioned that Tong Yu could still endanger the sect.
• Mu Ye told Xu Yuan to return to Five Elements Lake to cultivate after his tournament matches, and Xu Yuan reluctantly left the mountain range with him.
• In the Dream Realm Space, Xu Yuan called Yaoyao and Jue and explained that the Yin-and-Yang-infused primordial energy could help them grow and evolve.

Xu Yuan explained how vital energy could help Yaoyao cultivate and wondered how Soul Spirits transformed at the ten-thousand-year threshold. As Tang Wulin faced Long Yue in the individual competition, Xu Yuan warned him to draw out Long Yue’s abilities without getting seriously injured.

• Xu Yuan told Yaoyao to merge vital energy into Dream Realm Space to help her sense and fuse with the outside world.
• Xu Yuan considered how crossing the ten-thousand-year threshold improved Soul Beasts’ ability to learn and comprehend.
• Two months passed, and Shrek won most of its matches while Xu Yuan and Long Yue advanced toward a highly anticipated semifinal.
• Xu Yuan instructed Tang Wulin to test Long Yue’s abilities while avoiding serious injury.
• Tang Wulin released his Exoskeleton Mecha, powered up with his dragon blood essence, and struck Long Yue with a massive hammer before launching Chaotic Cloak.

Tang Wulin used his Exoskeleton Mecha to strengthen the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer against Long Yue, whose bloodline suppression and growing frustration failed to stop the attack. Long Yue then fully unleashed the Mountain Dragon King's power, escalating the battle.

• Long Yue realized Tang Wulin's bloodline suppressed his own, but he remained confident and continued fighting.
• Long Yue blocked Tang Wulin's second hammer strike with his dragon claw, and their clash shook the arena's Energy Shield.
• Tang Wulin used his Exoskeleton Mecha to redirect and store force, making his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer's stacking strikes and movements difficult to predict or interrupt.
• Yuanen Yehui asked Xu Yuan about Tang Wulin's Exoskeleton Mecha, and Xu Yuan explained how it synchronized with its user's movements.
• Frustrated by Tang Wulin's relentless hammer strikes, Long Yue fully released the Mountain Dragon King's power, and its dragon phantom roared as the ground trembled.

Tang Wulin fought to evade Long Yue after Long Yue entered a berserk state, while Xu Yuan concluded that Long Yue had acquired the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul through an opportunity in Dragon Valley. The chapter ended with Tang Wulin narrowly escaping Long Yue’s devastating attack as the arena shook.

• Tang Wulin used the Exoskeleton Mecha to preserve some of his accumulated Chaotic Cloak force after Long Yue overpowered his hammer strike.
• Long Yue’s eyes reddened and he charged Tang Wulin in a berserk state, alarming the Heavenly King Team and prompting En Ci to consider whether to intervene.
• Xu Yuan reasoned that Long Yue’s Martial Soul had probably evolved after he encountered the Mountain Dragon King’s remains and Remnant Soul in Dragon Valley.
• Xu Yuan considered Dragon Valley a trove of dragon bones, souls, and bloodline research materials, and believed the Tang Sect had barely explored it.
• Long Yue leaped and transformed into a mountain range crashing down, but Tang Wulin converted his stored force into a burst of speed and evaded the attack.

Tang Wulin used Xu Yuan’s Exoskeleton Mecha to evade Long Yue’s powerful attacks and build up the force of his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. He reached the limit of twenty layers and began using hit-and-run tactics, while the audience booed and other Soul Masters recognized the mecha as the key to his strategy.

• Tang Wulin realized that Long Yue could resist his Golden Dragon King bloodline suppression and narrowly dodged a blow that could have badly injured him.

• Tang Wulin stopped accumulating force at the limit his body could control and used it to evade Long Yue’s attacks.
• Tang Wulin struck Long Yue whenever he saw an opening, avoiding direct clashes as the audience booed and contestants noticed the Exoskeleton Mecha behind his tactics.

Tang Wulin’s Exoskeleton Mecha impressed the audience but could not overcome Long Yue, who defeated him through sheer endurance and strength. After Xu Yuan reassured Shrek’s team that he could handle Long Yue in the team battle, Yuanen Yehui visited him to ask for an Exoskeleton Mecha, and he agreed in exchange for a favor.

• The audience analyzed Tang Wulin’s Exoskeleton Mecha and concluded that its high cost and technical demands limited its wider use.
• Tang Wulin used the Exoskeleton Mecha to keep stacking the Chaotic Cloak, but Long Yue outlasted him and forced him to leave the arena exhausted.
• En Ci reassessed Tang Wulin’s performance, while Wu Siduo worried that Xu Yuan could not handle Long Yue in the team battle without his mecha.
• Xu Yuan assured Wu Siduo and the others that they did not need to worry about Long Yue, leaving Yuanen Yehui curious about his other abilities.
• Yuanen Yehui visited Xu Yuan at the Star Luo Grand Hotel and asked him to make her an Exoskeleton Mecha; Xu Yuan agreed and asked her to do him a favor.

Xu Yuan told Yuanen Yehui that her Fallen Angel Martial Soul could open a passage for the Demon Plane to invade Douluo Continent. He proposed opening it deliberately while powerful allies were ready to fight the demons, and Yuanen began to consider his plan.

• Xu Yuan revealed that Yuanen Yehui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul acted as a coordinate for the Demon Plane and could eventually open a gate for demons.
• Yuanen Yehui feared Xu Yuan intended to cripple her Martial Soul, but he reassured her and urged her not to bear the danger alone.
• Xu Yuan explained that he needed the Demon Plane to descend and proposed using Yuanen's Martial Soul to open a limited passage while powerful allies prepared to defend the continent.
• Yuanen Yehui questioned whether Xu Yuan could gather so many powerful people, and he left her to infer that the stakes extended beyond his cultivation.
• Xu Yuan argued that opening the passage deliberately could limit its strength, and Yuanen accepted that suppressing the danger alone had been a foolish choice.

Xu Yuan planned to help Yuanen Yehui resolve the danger tied to her Fallen Angel Martial Soul and considered using the Demon Plane to study devouring foreign realms. Three days later, he faced Long Yue in a semifinal that everyone treated as the real championship battle.

• Xu Yuan told Yuanen Yehui he would consult his teacher about her Martial Soul problem, and she reflected on her stalled cultivation and the pressure from younger rivals.

• Long Yue expanded under his Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul and unleashed Dragon Might, but Xu Yuan resisted it and used Essence, Qi, and Spirit Lockdown to suppress Long Yue’s aura.
• Xu Yuan controlled his Mecha and launched the first attack against Long Yue.

Xu Yuan’s Mecha spear techniques pierced Long Yue’s defenses, but Long Yue took control of the arena with his Mountains and Rivers, River, and Swamp soul skills and battered the Mecha. As the Mecha sustained serious damage, Xu Yuan deactivated it and prepared to face Long Yue in person.

• Xu Yuan’s spear attacks broke through Long Yue’s dragon-claw defenses, and Long Yue answered with Mountains and Rivers, River, and Swamp to blunt and trap the spear.
• Xu Yuan’s Bloodline Power pierced Long Yue’s river and swamp defenses and wounded both his dragon claws, but the pain drove Long Yue back into a rage.
• Long Yue transformed the arena’s terrain, tossed Xu Yuan’s Mecha into the air, and struck it with a cannonball-like charge.
• Xu Yuan realized Long Yue’s control of the arena was steadily damaging the Mecha and deactivated it to fight in his true body.

Xu Yuan fought Long Yue in the arena, but Long Yue’s overwhelming strength and control over mountains and rivers kept him suppressed despite Xu Yuan’s peak attacks. As Xu Yuan continued the battle, Gu Yue reminded Shrek’s group that he had not yet used his Fifth Soul Skill.

• After dismissing his mecha, Xu Yuan evaded Long Yue’s shifting terrain and ambushes by sensing changes in Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.
• Long Yue attacked through the mountains and rivers, and Xu Yuan’s Fourth Soul Skill, Flame of Life, helped him shatter a mountain but could not prevent Long Yue from overpowering him.

• Long Yue struck Xu Yuan into the ground again, while the audience and Shrek’s private box watched anxiously.
• Wu Siduo worried that Xu Yuan would lose, and Gu Yue pointed out that he had not used his Fifth Soul Skill.

Xu Yuan battled Long Yue through the shifting Mountains and Rivers, refining his spear techniques under pressure and uncovering a new way to combine Star Power with Bloodline Power and Vital Energy. He ended the chapter launching a lightning-fast spear thrust wrapped in three kinds of flame.

• Long Yue charged at Xu Yuan again, shaping the arena’s terrain with his Mountains and Rivers ability while his Dragon Might influenced Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.
• Xu Yuan fought back with his spear and gradually integrated Star Power into his attacks as Long Yue pushed him toward his limits.
• Xu Yuan adapted to the changing terrain, entered Heaven-Earth Resonance, and used the divided attention granted by his awakened Brain Martial Soul to predict the battle.
• The spectators noticed that Xu Yuan kept unleashing peak attacks despite his repeated injuries, while En Ci recognized that he was burning his Vital Energy and Bloodline Power.
• Xu Yuan felt a sudden inspiration and thrust his spear like lightning, surrounding its tip with intertwined crimson, azure, and stellar flames.

Xu Yuan pierced Long Yue’s mountain defense, but Long Yue transformed into the Mountain Dragon King and lost control as his power surged. Long Yue then collapsed, and En Ci declared Xu Yuan the winner; Gu Yue identified a subtle mental Soul Skill as the likely cause.

• Xu Yuan pierced through Long Yue’s mountain defense with the Heaven Origin Five Elements Spear, but Long Yue transformed into the Mountain Dragon King and unleashed overwhelming Bloodline Power.

• En Ci announced that Long Yue had exhausted his Bloodline Power and declared Xu Yuan the winner.
• Gu Yue said Xu Yuan had used a subtle mental Soul Skill from his other Martial Soul, while Tang Wulin incorrectly guessed that Long Yue’s madness made him vulnerable to mental attacks.

After the matches, Gu Yue learned from Di Tian that the secret realm tied to Long Yue’s bloodline belonged to the dragon clan, but it had not yet been located.

• Gu Yue explained that Xu Yuan likely used Illusion Arts to defeat the mad Long Yue, and Tang Wulin recognized how overwhelming Xu Yuan’s Spiritual Power was.
• Ye Xinglan reminded the group that Xu Yuan’s main Martial Soul was the Brain Martial Soul, and Xu Yuan confirmed he had used an illusion against Long Yue.

Fang Yuan and Ye Xinglan contained the enemy’s rear attackers while Xu Yuan prevented Long Yue from going berserk, drawing them into Dream Realm Space alongside a remnant soul.

• Xu Yuan used Dream Realm Space to confront Long Yue before he could enter a berserk state, and a remnant soul appeared beside Long Yue.

Xu Yuan took the damaged Mountain Dragon King soul from Long Yue and proposed turning Dragon Valley’s remnant dragon souls into Soul Spirits so they could continue to exist. The Mountain Dragon King remained wary of becoming dependent on humans, and Xu Yuan left him to consider the idea.

• Xu Yuan identified the damaged dragon soul as one from Dragon Valley, surprising Long Yue with his knowledge and plans to visit the secret realm.
• Xu Yuan took the dragon soul away and kept Long Yue trapped in his Dream Realm Space, where Long Yue failed to break free.

• Xu Yuan awakened the Mountain Dragon King's consciousness and proposed helping Dragon Valley's remnant dragon souls become Soul Spirits.
• The Mountain Dragon King objected to dragons becoming human dependents, and Xu Yuan argued that Soul Spirits could preserve dragon bloodlines and let the souls remain in the world.

Xu Yuan persuaded the Mountain Dragon King's Remnant Soul to help turn several dragon souls into Soul Spirits in exchange for studying their bloodlines. Back in the arena, Xu Yuan's Illusion Arts removed Long Yue from the fight, and he wounded Dai Yueyan with a spear strike as the battle continued.

• Xu Yuan offered the Mountain Dragon King's Remnant Soul a way to preserve dragon consciousness as Soul Spirits in exchange for access to their bloodlines.

After Shrek won the Youth Soul Master Competition, Xu Yuan collected the rewards and went to the Tang Sect to seek Hu Jie, while Tang Wulin went to the Soul Arena. Gu Yue ordered Di Tian to prepare a stable passage to the Dragon Valley, and Hu Jie began preparing Xu Yuan for Soul Power sealing.

• The Heavenly King Team surrendered to Xu Yuan, while En Ci worried that Long Yue’s two quick defeats would damage Monster Academy’s reputation.
• Xu Yuan collected the competition rewards, including a Ten-Thousand-Year Heavenly Dragon Beast right arm bone, a Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Object, and Soul Forged Metal.

• Mu Ye explained that Hu Jie had added his Body Martial Soul Fusion cultivation experience to the Tang Sect’s secret teachings.
• Hu Jie told Xu Yuan to prepare for Soul Power sealing and led him out of the office.

Xu Yuan underwent the Tang Sect’s medicinal sealing procedure so he could keep his Soul Power below Level 50 in Dragon Valley. Hu Jie sent him off with instructions to enter the Soul Arena under the code name White Six.

• Hu Jie brought Xu Yuan and Mu Ye to a Tang Sect laboratory, where the director explained how a medicinal Seal Array would suppress Soul Power in Dragon Valley.
• The director injected medicinal power through eleven needles, and Xu Yuan studied the patterned structures and secretly transferred some into his Dream Realm Space.
• Xu Yuan tested the completed seal and found that it had reduced his Soul Power from Level 55 to roughly Level 41.
• Hu Jie advised Xu Yuan to stay in Dragon Valley as long as possible and gave him a mask, telling him to conceal his identity as the Soul Arena fighter White Six.

Xu Yuan joined Tang Sect’s Dragon Valley mission and learned its rules while hiding his identity among the White-Level Fighters. After discovering Dai Yun Er was assigned as his partner, he kicked open her hotel-room door, leaving her and the other fighters stunned.

• Xu Yuan donned the Soul Arena uniform and mask, then heard Black One explain the Dragon Valley survival mission, its restrictions, and the Dragon Pearls’ emergency escape function.
• Black One distributed numbered Dragon Pearls and ordered the fighters to operate in pairs; Xu Yuan received number six and recognized the woman beside him as Dai Yun Er.
• The group traveled to a Tang Sect town, where Xu Yuan sensed spatial fluctuations that might connect to a Small World.
• At the hotel, Dai Yun Er took her key and shut herself in, but Xu Yuan kicked open her door, prompting her to shout at him as masked fighters watched from the corridor.
