Lin En waited for his supposed cheat to activate while trapped in an Evil Soul Master prison, only to discover it was an AI assistant called Little Sage. Little Sage revealed that Lin En was not human but a dragon belonging to the Bronze and Fire King bloodline.

• Lin En learned that Uncle Yu had been captured during a reconnaissance mission and that two Evil Soul Master Titled Douluo held the base.
• Lin En's Tianyan Computational Core finished its self-check, but its music-playing antics disappointed him.

• Little Sage explained that the core arose from Lin En's bloodline, Word Spirit, spiritual power, and Soul Power.
• Little Sage told Lin En that he was a dragon of the great Next-Generation Species Dragon Clan, descended from the Bronze and Fire King.

Lin En learned that he was a pure-blood Dragon Clan member from a supernatural world and asked Little Sage how he could escape the Evil Soul Masters’ dungeon. Little Sage proposed rebuilding his brain and body to create a Vector Manipulation Domain capable of bending reality, leaving Lin En to gamble on this dangerous transformation.

• Lin En realized his previous world was the Dragon Clan world and suspected Odin had killed him, but set those memories aside to focus on escaping.
• Little Sage diagnosed Lin En as severely weakened, confirmed he could still use Word Spirits, and calculated his escape chance at 3.7 percent.

Lin En began Little Sage’s risky plan to modify his body, then was taken to the laboratory and tortured by the Holy Spirit Cult for research into his supposed skeleton Martial Soul. As the electric current ravaged him, Little Sage took over his Martial Soul and mobilized his immune system to protect him and turn the current into energy.

• Lin En questioned how Little Sage’s brain-modification plan would obtain enough energy, but chose to proceed despite its 3.7% success rate.
• Lin En asked whether awakening his Dragon Clan memories would erase his human self, and Little Sage told him that he had always been a dragon and that the memories could not interfere with his consciousness.
• The black-robed figures took Lin En from his cell to the laboratory, where Yu Mu'en silently signaled him not to resist or fear.
• The white-robed old man mistook Lin En’s Martial Soul for a skeleton and said the Holy Spirit Cult wanted to test whether a Body Martial Soul could become an Evil Martial Soul.
• The old man shocked Lin En in the chair, and Little Sage took over his Martial Soul, deployed immune cells, and began converting the current’s energy into ATP.

Lin En endured brutal elemental experiments as the old man tested his body's resistance and discovered his immunity to fire. The experiments left Lin En near death, and the old man stopped to treat him, intending to keep him alive for further study.

• The old man tested Lin En with electric current and fire, noting his extraordinary physical strength and fire immunity.
• The old man speculated that Lin En's Martial Soul encompassed more than bones and recorded his innate soul power and resistance.

• Lin En told Uncle Yu that an Evil Soul Master had injected him with multiple Soul Beast bloodlines and a liquid rich in life force.

• Uncle Yu sent Lin En the words for the Mysterious Heaven Skill and asked him to identify them.
• Lin En mistook the three written characters for five, and Uncle Yu realized that Lin En was illiterate.

Lin En received the Mysterious Heaven Skill from Uncle Yu, and Little Sage began cultivating it automatically to repair Lin En’s meridians and raise his Soul Power. Meanwhile, Yu Mu'en realized his captors were tied to the Sun Moon Empire and the growing Holy Spirit Cult, but he remained trapped by the sealing Soul Tool.

• Uncle Yu explained the Mysterious Heaven Skill and began teaching Lin En the technique, reading, and writing.
• A fellow prisoner explained that the Tang Sect had declined and that the Mysterious Heaven Skill was a balanced technique suited to Lin En.
• Little Sage recorded the technique and offered to cultivate it in the background, estimating that Lin En’s meridians could heal within a year and his Soul Power could reach level ten.
• Lin En ordered Little Sage to cultivate and analyze the incomplete technique, and it began operating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

• Yu Mu'en recalled that two Titled Douluo Evil Soul Masters had ambushed him with Soul Tools and captured him despite his superior strength.

Yu Mu'en began teaching Lin En the Mysterious Heaven Skill and explained the combat techniques Sovereign Over All Under Heaven and Unity of Heaven and Man. Lin En learned the technique's principles and joked with Yu Mu'en about leaving Shrek Academy, ending with an unexpected revelation about Yu Mu'en's past.

• Yu Mu'en told Lin En to memorize the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and Lin En said he could do so in five minutes with the Little Sage's help.

Lin En spent three years imprisoned, cultivating and enduring increasingly dangerous experiments as the white-robed old man investigated his Body Martial Soul. He survived by relying on his Next-Generation Species Dragon Bloodline and Little Sage, and had become a lifeform powered by Soul Power while continuing to conceal his strength.

• Lin En restored his meridians and reached level ten Soul Power in his first year, but the white-robed old man prevented him from obtaining a Soul Ring.

• Little Sage developed new energy cells throughout Lin En's body, allowing him to fuse Soul Power and spiritual power and sustain himself without food or water.

Uncle Yu and a prisoner from the Star Luo Empire taught Lin En and Zhang Lexuan how Soul Power, Soul Cores, and spiritual power worked. Lin En showed how far his abilities had advanced after three years in the dungeon, while Little Sage’s research pointed toward a way to preserve and claim Soul Beast traits.

• The Star Luo Empire prisoner explained that Soul Cores made it easier to reach the Titled Douluo realm but required powerful spiritual control to circulate solid Soul Power.
• Uncle Yu described Formed and Tangible spiritual power and said Lin En might be able to reach that rare realm because his spiritual power could cover the dungeon.
• Lin En demonstrated his golden claws and other Soul Beast traits, and Zhang Lexuan hid her concern when he signaled her to stay quiet.
• Lin En explained that he guided the bloodlines in his body to fight before the Next-Generation Species bloodline Devoured them, while the Dragon Clan Bloodline resisted outside pressure.
• Little Sage modified the Mysterious Heaven Skill to help Devour bloodlines, and Lin En’s plan called for a Silver Hero Beast Soul Ring to preserve a Soul Beast’s innate skill.

Lin En was summoned by the white-robed elder, who presented three powerful Soul Beasts as gifts and potential Soul Rings. Meanwhile, Yu Mu'en and Old Wolf began planning a last stand, and Zhang Lexuan faced the danger of her Martial Soul turning her into an Evil Martial Soul user.

• Holy Servants summoned Lin En, and Zhang Lexuan worried as he followed them to the laboratory.
• Yu Mu'en warned that Zhang Lexuan was nearing the emergence of an Evil Martial Soul, and he and Old Wolf resolved to risk their remaining strength in a rebellion.
• The white-robed elder told Lin En that he had prepared a gift rather than another experiment.
• The elder showed Lin En a three-hundred-year Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear, a five-hundred-year Devouring Dragon, and a seven-hundred-year Silver Hero Beast.
• Lin En questioned why the elder was letting him grow stronger, and the elder said he wanted Lin En to prove that perfect creatures could exist.

Lin En chose the Devouring Dragon and Silver Hero Beast as his Soul Rings, then absorbed both and broke through his Soul Power limits. He gained the soul skills Devouring and Memory, leaving him confident he had the power needed to escape the dungeon.

• The old man offered Lin En a choice of two soul beasts and explained that useful soul skills mattered more than Soul Ring age.
• Lin En chose the Devouring Dragon for its Devour Heaven and Earth ability and selected the Silver Hero Beast as his other Soul Ring.
• Lin En killed the Devouring Dragon and absorbed its five-hundred-year Soul Ring, supplying Little Sage with enough energy to advance his brain modification and raising his Soul Power to level twenty.
• Lin En killed the Silver Hero Beast and absorbed its seven-hundred-year Soul Ring, breaking through the level-twenty limit and gaining access to cultivation up to level thirty.
• Lin En sensed his new soul skills, Devouring and Memory, and declared that he no longer lacked anything.

Yu Mu'en told Lin En and Zhang Lexuan about his past before revealing that his tale of defeat had left him ashamed of disappointing his great-grandfather. His golden Soul Power ignited a prison break, and Old Wolf burned his origin to break the prisoners’ restraints and free the others.

• Old Wolf burned his life and spiritual origins, broke free of his restraints, and promised to unlock the other prisoners’ shackles within his remaining eight minutes.

Old Wolf broke Yu Mu'en’s restraints as Lin En refused a secret escape route and stayed with the others when Evil Soul Masters attacked. Lin En and Zhang Lexuan joined the fight, and Lin En unleashed his combat knowledge and dragon power against the attackers.

• Old Wolf shattered Yu Mu'en’s Eighth-Level restraints with his giant axe while Yu Mu'en helped break free.
• A white-robed elder offered Lin En a hidden passage to the Bright Continent, but Lin En rejected it because the route could only carry him alone.

• Lin En ordered Little Sage to load his combat arts, then transformed further as blue scales, golden claws, and arm blades emerged.

Lin En fought through the Holy Servants and Holy Spirit Disciples in the dungeon, using his Memory soul skill to adapt to a deadly poison. When two Soul Kings cornered him, the Little Sage calculated how to reflect their attacks, and Lin En unleashed his new spiritual domain, Vector Manipulation, to blast through the Holy Altar and reach the sunlight.

• Lin En charged into the Holy Servants, while a Holy Spirit Disciple attacked him with a bone whip and another covered the area in corrosive sludge.
• Lin En used Memory to heal and record the poison’s effects, then adapted to the sludge disciple’s repeated venom attack.
• The sludge giant and the bone-whip disciple attacked Lin En from opposite sides as Zhang Lexuan struggled to hold off the sludge.
• Lin En powered the Little Sage’s calculations, and Vector Manipulation reflected the disciples’ attacks and redirected the sludge toward the Holy Servants near Yu Mu'en’s cell.
• Lin En concentrated the dungeon’s vibrations, shockwaves, and gravity into a punch that blasted the sludge giant through the Holy Altar, revealing the sunlight beyond.

Lin En and Zhang Lexuan fought the Holy Servants and their Soul King leaders, but a Soul Douluo threatened to overwhelm them before Yu Mu'en arrived and killed him. After the battle, Lin En found Old Wolf dying from burning out his origin and promised to take him outside to see the sunlight.
