Chapter Summaries

At a Shrek Academy meeting, Xuan Zi proposed using false intelligence about the locations of Shrek students’ families and Tang Ya to lure Zhong Liwu into a trap. He assigned Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier to show themselves in White Tiger City while he prepared to ambush Zhong Liwu near Star Luo City.

• Yan Shaozhe warned Xuan Zi that Zhong Liwu’s three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and Evil Soul Master methods made him exceptionally dangerous.
• Xuan Zi proposed combining Shrek’s strength with the Three Great Empires’ experts to kill Zhong Liwu, but Yan Shaozhe pointed out they still needed a way to corner him.

• Xuan Zi planned to wait near White Tiger City and lure Zhong Liwu into an ambush by making him believe he could rescue the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Maiden.

Xuan Zi persuaded the Sea God Pavilion elders to use Tang Ya as bait to lure Zhong Liwu into a trap, and Mu En approved the plan on the condition that Tang Ya be protected. Zhong Liwu learned that Tang Ya was in White Tiger City and decided to go there to retrieve the Holy Maiden.

• Cai Meier and Yan Shaozhe objected to sending Tang Ya out as bait, while Xuan Zi argued that Zhong Liwu would not believe the deception unless Tang Ya visibly left Shrek Academy.

• The elders left the Sea God Pavilion to arrange the plan, while Zhong Liwu learned that Tang Ya and Shrek students' families had been moved to White Tiger City.
• Zhong Liwu decided to go to White Tiger City to bring the Holy Maiden back to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhongli Wu ordered Netherworld Douluo to infiltrate White Tiger City and assess its defenses, while Xuan Zi told Xu Jiawei that Shrek would use a false plan to trap the Evil Soul Masters in Star Luo City. Netherworld Douluo reported that White Tiger City was guarded by Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier, with no other major powers present.

• Netherworld Douluo warned Zhongli Wu that Mu En might be waiting in White Tiger City, but Zhongli Wu ordered him to scout the city as atonement for the Holy Maiden's abduction.
• Xuan Zi told Xu Jiawei that Shrek's announced plan to defend White Tiger City was false and meant to lure Zhongli Wu into a trap in Star Luo City.
• Xu Jiawei asked whether Shrek should recall Dean Yan and Dean Cai, but Xuan Zi refused, saying their presence in White Tiger City would help fool the spy.
• Netherworld Douluo investigated White Tiger City and reported to Zhongli Wu that only Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier were powerful figures there.

Netherworld Douluo reported that he had devastated White Tiger City and failed to find the Holy Maiden, while Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier tried to protect the wounded and wait for reinforcements. Zhong Liwu arrived with the Evil Soul Masters, surrounding them as the chapter ended.

• Yan Shaozhe engulfed himself and Cai Meier in golden flames, and their auras disappeared, leaving Zhong Liwu wondering whether they were dead.

Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier escaped White Tiger City, but blamed Elder Xuan for abandoning them and causing heavy losses. Meanwhile, Xuan Zi waited comfortably in Star Luo City for Zhong Liwu, while Xu Jiawei remained uneasy as the night went on.

• Yan Shaozhe used Phoenix Nirvana Power to escape White Tiger City with Cai Meier, losing at least twenty years of his lifespan.
• Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier suspected Elder Xuan had deliberately withheld support and decided to report him to Elder Mu.
• Xuan Zi drank wine and ate roasted chicken drumsticks with the Star Shattering Douluo while they waited for Zhong Liwu to attack Star Luo City.
• Qian Duoduo questioned why Zhong Liwu had not appeared, since Xuan Zi had redirected their forces from White Tiger City to defend Star Luo City.
• Xu Jiawei told Xu Jiujiu that he felt uneasy, and she reassured him that Elder Xuan would soon kill Zhong Liwu's group.

Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu discussed the threat from Zhong Liwu’s Evil Soul Masters and the Star Luo Empire’s search for a new continent. Meanwhile, Xuan Zi dismissed a warning that White Tiger City had been attacked, insisting Zhong Liwu would come to Star Luo City.

• Xu Jiawei agreed that Zhong Liwu’s attacks on Shrek students’ families threatened the academy and the war effort, and he told Xu Jiujiu to continue seeking a new continent as a fallback.
• Xu Jiujiu reported that Sea Soul Beasts had repeatedly attacked the Ocean-going Fleet, so Xu Jiawei suggested sending it items once used by Sea God Tang San instead of a Super Douluo escort.
• Qian Duoduo worried that Zhong Liwu had not arrived in Star Luo City, while Xuan Zi confidently promised him one of Zhong Liwu’s soul bones after their victory.
• Several people arrived in Star Luo City and reported that White Tiger City had suffered severe casualties in an attack led by Zhong Liwu.
• Xuan Zi called the report a rumor and refused to let Qian Duoduo capture the messengers, arguing that action would reveal they were still in Star Luo City.

After White Tiger City was attacked and its families suffered heavy casualties, Mu En condemned Xuan Zi’s repeated failures and prepared to convene the Sea God Pavilion. He planned to replace Xuan Zi as his successor, while Xuan Zi continued to deny the attack and distrust the evidence.

• Mu En contacted Gong Changlong and ordered him to summon the other elders from the Star Luo Empire.

Xuan Zi returned to Shrek Academy burdened by guilt over the deaths caused by Zhong Liwu’s attack on White Tiger City, then faced the Sea God Pavilion elders. He admitted his responsibility but explained that he had expected Zhong Liwu to attack Star Luo City because he believed Yan Shaozhe was a traitor, and he ended by questioning whether Yan Shaozhe was blameless.

• Gong Changlong returned from the Star Luo Empire with the Sea God Pavilion elders, while Xuan Zi lagged behind, stricken by evidence that Zhong Liwu had attacked White Tiger City and killed the students’ families.
• Qian Duoduo confronted Xuan Zi for stopping on the way to the meeting, and Xuan Zi said he would come later after spending time alone.
• Mu En summoned Xuan Zi to the Sea God Pavilion meeting, where Xuan Zi arrived tearful and offered to resign, but Mu En ordered him to stay and take responsibility.
• Mu En asked why Xuan Zi had sent the students’ families to White Tiger City instead of Star Luo City, and Xuan Zi explained that he expected Zhong Liwu to attack Star Luo City.
• Xuan Zi said he had believed Yan Shaozhe would reveal the academy’s plan to Zhong Liwu, then wondered aloud whether Yan Shaozhe was truly blameless.

After the White Tiger City Incident, Shrek’s elders argued over who was responsible and how to restore students’ trust. Mu En stripped Xuan Zi of his successor status and ordered him to apologize publicly, but the students erupted in anger and demanded refunds and withdrawal.

• Xuan Zi blamed Yan Shaozhe for the White Tiger City Incident, while Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, and the other elders urged Mu En to punish Xuan Zi.

• At Shrek Square, Xuan Zi apologized to the gathered students for failing to protect their families.
• A male student in red interrupted Xuan Zi, and the students angrily cursed the academy, demanded refunds, and called to withdraw.

After the White Tiger City tragedy, Xuan Zi apologized to the grieving students, then urged them to support Shrek Academy and seek revenge on Zhong Liwu and the Evil Soul Masters. Seven days later, Du Weilun told Xuan Zi that the academy was facing a crisis after his speech triggered mass withdrawals and a collapse in enrollment.

• Xuan Zi silenced the students with his Rank 98 Super Douluo pressure and apologized for his failure to protect their families.
• The students condemned Xuan Zi and Shrek Academy, grieving their murdered families and demanding accountability.
• Xuan Zi silenced the students again and urged them to help strengthen the academy and avenge their families against Zhong Liwu and the Evil Soul Masters.
• The students left quietly, and Xuan Zi assumed his speech had persuaded them before going to drink wine and eat chicken legs.
• Seven days later, Du Weilun told Xuan Zi that many outer academy students had withdrawn, demanded partial tuition refunds, and caused enrollment to collapse.

Du Weilun told Xuan Zi that Shrek Academy was losing new and returning students after its reputation suffered, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy drew a surge of applicants. Huo Yuhao explained that immigrants and former Shrek students were enrolling there, leaving Shrek’s decline and the Sun Moon academy’s growth underway.

• Du Weilun told Xuan Zi that few new students were registering at Shrek and proposed lowering admission standards.
• Du Weilun reported that inner academy students had left after condemning Xuan Zi’s apology, and Xuan Zi resolved to save Shrek Academy.
• The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy received far more applicants than in previous years, including families who had immigrated from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
• Meng Hongchen asked Huo Yuhao about the immigrants, and he said more would arrive and the academy would need another campus.
• Huo Yuhao explained that many immigrants had abandoned Shrek after the White Tiger City incident, while former Shrek students were drawn to the Sun Moon academy with help from the Spirit Pagoda.

The Spirit Pagoda expanded its influence by recruiting former Shrek students and preparing a new campus in Sun Moon, while Tang San harvested Faith Power to advance his Sea God Godhood. The chapter left Tang San close to achieving a Half-Step God King level, but short of the Faith Power needed to complete it.

• The Spirit Pagoda used Electrolux's contracts to keep its existence secret and let trusted members spread its influence.
• Former Shrek students joined the Spirit Pagoda and moved to Sun Moon, drawn by its Spirit Souls, Soul Tools, and opposition to Evil Soul Masters.
• Meng Hongchen offered to take Huo Yuhao to see her grandfather and ask the emperor for funds to build another campus.
• Tang San set aside his unresolved conflict with Xiao Wu and began gathering the Sea God's Faith Power from the Lower Realm.
• Tang San's Sea God Godhood formed an illusory eight-ringed halo, but it failed to solidify because he lacked enough Faith Power.

Tang San tried to raise his Sea God Godhood to Half-Step God King by converting Asura God Faith Power, but the power ran out and his breakthrough failed. Injured and enraged, he was left with his progress wiped out and his strength diminished.

• Tang San noticed the Faith Power feeding his Sea God Godhood was dwindling and feared his attempt to solidify its eighth ring would fail.
• Tang San used the Asura Godhood to convert its Faith Power into power for the Sea God Godhood.
• Tang San reflected on how he had exploited wars and Shrek Academy’s influence on the Douluo Continent to gather Faith Power.
• Tang San’s eighth ring briefly stabilized, then grew illusory when the Asura God Faith Power ran out.
• Tang San’s breakthrough failed, the eighth ring shattered, and he suffered injuries and the loss of his accumulated progress.
• Tang San flew into an uncontrollable rage.

Tang San discovered that Shrek Academy’s declining reputation had reduced his Faith Power and caused his attempt to raise his Sea God Godhood to Half-Step God King to fail. He planned to restart the Asura God Test to recruit agents, separate his image from Shrek Academy, and use Holy Spirit Cult members as staged villains.

• Tang San investigated the drop in Faith Power and found that the Sea Soul Beasts still believed in him, while some Douluo People had lost faith after Shrek Academy’s reputation suffered.
• Tang San blamed Xuan Zi’s schemes and Zhong Liwu’s limited slaughter for the deaths of Shrek Students’ family members and his failed breakthrough.
• Tang San planned to restore his reputation during a future war by intervening against the Sun Moon Empire and revising the history of the deaths.
• Tang San rejected Da Ming, Er Ming, the Sea God Family, and Shrek Academy as sources of help, then decided to restart the Asura God Test to recruit people who would gather Faith Power.
• Tang San planned to distance himself from Shrek Academy and have powerful Holy Spirit Cult members pose as villains for his agents to defeat.

Tang San devised a plan to restore faith in the Asura God by staging rescues, but his limited control over the Asura God Test prevented him from choosing or advancing successors freely. He sent red lights toward potential trial takers, while the God of Destruction decided not to interfere, and a black-haired girl walked through the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Tang San planned to use Evil Soul Masters as staged villains so Asura God Test candidates could rescue people and spread belief in him.
• Tang San recognized that he could not alter the Asura Nine Tests or quickly appoint an Asura God High Priest, so he searched for eligible trial takers instead.
• Tang San rejected Evil Soul Masters as candidates to protect his public image, then sent several streaks of red light toward the Douluo Continent.
• The God of Destruction and the Original Sin Gods discussed Tang San's move, and the God of Destruction chose not to interfere because Tang San could not lower the trial's difficulty.
• A black-haired girl in a black robe walked through the Star Dou Great Forest.

After losing her family to Evil Soul Masters, Cui Ya Jie joined Zhu Lu in blaming Shrek Academy and Xuan Zi, and the two vowed revenge. In the Star Dou Great Forest, they accepted the Asura God Test after being offered the Clear Sky Hammer as a second Martial Soul.

• Cui Ya Jie left Shrek Academy after her family was killed and went to find Zhu Lu.
• Zhu Lu blamed Xuan Zi and Shrek Academy for Dai Huabin’s death and vowed to destroy the academy and kill Xuan Zi while hunting Evil Soul Masters.
• Cui Ya Jie embraced Zhu Lu and promised to support her plans for revenge.
• An emotionless voice offered Zhu Lu and Cui Ya Jie the Asura God Test and a Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
• Zhu Lu and Cui Ya Jie accepted the god trial.

Zhu Lu and Cui Ya Jie gained the Clear Sky Hammer as a second Martial Soul, then learned they had to pass a brutal Asura God test with their Soul Skills sealed. Meanwhile, Su Tong considered joining the Spirit Pagoda while keeping her Star Luo nationality and gaining Sun Moon nationality.

• Zhu Lu and Cui Ya Jie received the Clear Sky Hammer and celebrated becoming Twin Martial Soul owners.
• The Asura God announced a test requiring them to hunt two hundred stronger life forms within half a year without using Soul Skills.

• A Spirit Pagoda recruiter learned that Su Tong possessed the Ultimate Ice Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul and asked which country she was from.
• Su Tong said she was a Star Luo Person in Star Luo and a Sun Moon Person in Sun Moon.

Su Tong joined the Spirit Pagoda in hopes of meeting Huo Yuhao, and Ju Zi informed him of her Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul. Snow Empress asked to meet Su Tong, so Huo Yuhao arranged for her to come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy while avoiding drawing Tang San’s attention.

• Su Tong told the Spirit Transfer Master that she valued meeting Huo Yuhao more than obtaining a soul spirit, and he approved her Spirit Pagoda membership after verifying her Ultimate Ice Martial Soul.
• Ju Zi reported Su Tong’s request to meet Huo Yuhao, who agreed to arrange her visit to the academy.
• Snow Empress appeared and asked to meet Su Tong because she possessed a Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul.
• Huo Yuhao told Ju Zi to bring Su Tong to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and explained that he was avoiding attention from Tang San while preparing the Cosmos Creation Pill.
• Huo Yuhao revealed to Ju Zi that Snow Empress was his soul spirit and had once been the Soul Beast embryo bought at auction.

Huo Yuhao promised to help Ju Zi improve her strength, then sought Kong Deming’s help in creating a Ninth-Level Alchemy Furnace for refining the Cosmos Creation Pill. After learning the pill could raise Soul Power, remove impurities, and induce deep meditation, Kong Deming eagerly agreed to begin.

• Ju Zi praised Huo Yuhao’s strength and accepted his promise to find ways to help her improve.
• Huo Yuhao decided to ask Kong Deming to make a Ninth-Level Alchemy Furnace rather than spend time consulting Teacher Xuan.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the Cosmos Creation Pill required a powerful furnace and described its effects to Kong Deming.
• Kong Deming was astonished by the pill’s benefits and invited Huo Yuhao to begin making the furnace immediately.
