Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Xin faces Xiao Wu in the first stage of the Creator God’s Divine Examination. Xiao Wu appears with rabbit ears, a tail, and eight soul rings, revealing her powerful martial soul abilities.

• Li Xin attacks with Radiant Cross Slash, but Xiao Wu avoids it through Teleportation and counters with Waist Bow and Explosive Eight-Stage Fall, throwing Li Xin into the air and stunning her repeatedly.
• Li Xin bites her tongue to regain consciousness and activates Radiant Body, dispelling the dizziness. She then enters an enhanced battle state with golden armor, wings, and Holy Flame.
• Using Lock-on and Blade Storm, Li Xin attempts to trap Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu survives by activating Void, which makes her immune to most physical attacks and greatly reduces energy damage.
• Li Xin launches her self-created technique, Sacred Rift Slash. Xiao Wu responds with Martial Soul True Body, creating seven duplicates, and uses Invincible Golden Body to survive the attack.

Chapter Summary: Creator God’s First Examination—Sima Xian vs. Oscar

Key Plot Points and Events

• Sima Xian begins the first stage of the Creator God’s Divine Examination against a projection of Oscar.
• Oscar appears as an eight-ringed soul master and summons numerous sausages, using rapid incantations that Sima Xian finds vulgar and irritating.
• The Divine Trial has greatly enhanced Oscar’s Copy Mirror Sausage. He can copy not only Sima Xian’s soul skills, but also his weapon, Spirit Furnace abilities, wings, and potentially even a domain.
• Oscar’s copied Light Strength Pill and Violet Illusory Divine Thunder Spirit Furnace perfectly counter Sima Xian’s own abilities, resulting in an initial draw.
• Oscar’s sausages remove their normal restrictions and side effects, allowing him to maintain peak stamina and continuously enhance himself through recovery and amplification sausages.
• Sima Xian realizes that Oscar can only copy abilities he actively uses. He therefore abandons all skills, weapons, and Spirit Furnace techniques and relies solely on physical strength.
• In close combat, Sima Xian overwhelms Oscar, whose food-type physique cannot match the Discipline Priest’s raw power. Sima Xian brutally defeats him with a series of punches, including a decisive strike to Oscar’s most vulnerable area.
• The stage is declared passed, and Sima Xian is transported into a world of light.
• He reunites with Long Haochen and the others, though his attempt to embrace Long Haochen is rejected with disgust because of his complaints about Oscar’s obscene incantations.
• Cai’er, Lin Xin, and Li Xin soon arrive. All seven companions are restored to peak condition, and the backlash from their Spirit Furnaces disappears.

Character Developments

• Sima Xian: Demonstrates his impulsive humor, crude personality, and immense physical strength. More importantly, he shows tactical adaptability by abandoning his usual skills once he understands Oscar’s copying ability.
• Oscar: Is presented as a dangerous and unconventional opponent whose enhanced Copy Mirror Sausage makes him capable of imitating nearly everything Sima Xian can do. Despite his powerful abilities and endless support effects, he is vulnerable when forced into pure physical combat.
• Long Haochen and the group: Their reunion establishes that the Divine Trial may restore and support the participants rather than simply exhausting them. Long Haochen’s response to Sima Xian also reinforces the group’s familiar, comedic dynamic.

Significant Themes

• Adaptability over brute force: Sima Xian wins not by overpowering Oscar with his strongest techniques, but by recognizing that using those techniques only gives Oscar more weapons to copy.
• Strength versus versatility: Oscar possesses extraordinary flexibility and support abilities, while Sima Xian’s advantage lies in direct physical power.
• Limits and loopholes in power: The trial removes Oscar’s ordinary restrictions, creating an apparently unfair battle. Sima Xian succeeds by discovering the specific condition governing Oscar’s copying ability.
• Comedic contrast: The serious divine trial is repeatedly undercut by Oscar’s absurd sausage incantations, Sima Xian’s crude reactions, and the exaggerated physical violence of the final exchange.

Character Interactions

• Sima Xian immediately becomes fixated on Oscar’s scar and decides to get one himself.
• He is disgusted by Oscar’s sausage chants and insults him as a “perverted bastard.”
• The two engage in a mirrored aerial battle, with Oscar repeatedly copying Sima Xian’s attacks.
• After realizing the copying limitation, Sima Xian defeats Oscar through bare-handed combat and deliberately targets his face and vulnerable areas.
• Upon rejoining the group, Sima Xian seeks comfort from Long Haochen, who pushes him away, while Chen Ying’er and Wang Yuanyuan threaten him playfully. The exchange highlights the team’s close but teasing relationship.

• Yellow mist emerges from the holes, summoning two unknown Demon creatures: a massive four-eyed, three-legged monster and a smaller winged female creature.
