• Bibi Dong decided to seek a stronger opponent and walked toward the center of the battlefield.
• A Star Luo soldier thrust his spear at Bibi Dong, but a silver line flashed and his body froze as she continued onward.

Bibi Dong cut through Star Luo Empire soldiers on the battlefield and confronted Zhao Yuan, commander of their troops, to test her strength. After easily evading his attacks, she accepted his demand for a direct contest of strength, leaving Zhao Yuan enraged and ready to fight without his club.

• Bibi Dong killed the Star Luo soldiers who tried to stop her, while a young soldier ran past her calling for his big brother and others to wait.

• Zhao Yuan demanded a head-on contest of strength, and Bibi Dong agreed before he tossed aside his spiked club in anger.

Bibi Dong tested her techniques against Zhao Yuan during the battle, easily breaking his Thunderfall Fist and demonstrating her control by leaving him unharmed. She told him that hurting her would end the test and earn her teacher’s help in winning the war, and Zhao Yuan attacked again as she began evaluating his improvement.

• Zhao Yuan activated his Martial Soul and attacked Bibi Dong with his fifth Soul Skill, Thunderfall Fist, but she dodged and identified its weaknesses.
• Bibi Dong struck Zhao Yuan’s wrist to break his technique, then trapped him with her Snowstorm Rasengan and blasted him into the soldiers without injuring him.
• Bibi Dong explained that she had dispersed the Rasengan’s power before impact and revealed that she was testing techniques; if Zhao Yuan could hurt her, her teacher would help him win the war.
• Enraged, Zhao Yuan charged Bibi Dong again with Thunderfall Fist, and she praised his improved power and speed before meeting his punch with her own.

Bibi Dong fought Zhao Yuan until the Heaven Dou Empire sounded a retreat, then returned to its formation. Ge Tian offered Zhao Yuan and his exhausted Star Luo Empire troops a chance to surrender, but Zhao Yuan refused; Ge Tian then revealed a captive the soldiers recognized as A Feng.

• Bibi Dong repeatedly struck Zhao Yuan and continued their fight until the Heaven Dou Empire sounded the retreat gong.
• Bibi Dong left the battlefield, while Zhao Yuan noticed that the Heaven Dou formation was withdrawing in good order and suspected something was wrong.

• Zhao Yuan rejected Ge Tian’s offer and returned toward camp, declaring that Star Luo Empire soldiers did not surrender.
• Ge Tian had two soldiers bring out a chained captive, whom the Star Luo soldiers recognized as A Feng, the man they thought had gone to seek reinforcements.

After learning that the Star Luo Empire had abandoned them, Zhao Yuan refused to surrender and watched Ge Tian kill A Feng before the Heaven Dou army attacked. The next morning, Bibi Dong found the soldiers’ burial ground burned, then agreed to send the convict slaves who had followed her to work at Illusory Dream’s Rouge Pavilion.

• A Feng told Zhao Yuan that Lin Yuanfeng and the Star Luo Empire had abandoned their forces, but Zhao Yuan refused to surrender.

• Bibi Dong and Mad Rhino Douluo searched Crescent Canyon for the fallen soldiers but found their burial ground scorched by fire.
• Twenty-odd convict slaves asked to follow Bibi Dong, and she accepted Mad Rhino Douluo’s suggestion to arrange work for them at Illusory Dream’s Rouge Pavilion.

Three years later, Bibi Dong told Qian Chongling that she had spared a child during her assault on the Black Dragon Stronghold because she could not bring herself to kill him. She also admitted she avoided using her martial soul because she found its spider-like form ugly, so Qian Chongling promised to help her obtain a new martial soul.

• Bibi Dong reflected on the Black Dragon Stronghold incident, and Qian Chongling rebuked her for hesitating to kill a child who had benefited from the bandits' crimes.
• Bibi Dong recalled how she had wiped out the Black Dragon Stronghold and beheaded its Soul King chief after learning of the bandits' atrocities.
• Qian Chongling asked why Bibi Dong had fought without using her martial soul, and she replied that its possessed form was too ugly.

Qian Chongling considered why the Rakshasa God had provoked the Asura God without consequences and concluded they might have been lovers quarreling. He grew upset as he imagined the gods conspiring against Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong.

• Bibi Dong slept in her room at the Star-Moon Hotel while Qian Chongling pondered the relationship between the Rakshasa God and the Asura God.
• Qian Chongling recalled how the Rakshasa God had sabotaged Tang Chen and placed her inheritance in Slaughter City without the Asura God retaliating.
• He considered how the Rakshasa God had delayed Bibi Dong's trials while the Asura God and Sea God raised Tang San as their successor.
• Qian Chongling theorized that the Rakshasa God and Asura God had been lovers whose feud had led them to scheme against Spirit Hall.
• Qian Chongling's face darkened as he imagined the gods' plans and Bibi Dong's role in them.

Qian Chongling abandoned the idea of approaching the Rakshasa God and reasoned that exposing Third Brother’s true nature could block the Asura God from choosing him. He sent Bibi Dong into the Torch Dragon Secret Realm to face a trial for a new Martial Soul whose strength and godhood depended on the projection’s favor.

• Qian Chongling decided the Rakshasa God was too closely tied to the Asura God to be a safe ally and crossed her off his list.
• Qian Chongling concluded that the Asura God could not pass on his godhood if Third Brother revealed a nature incompatible with its rules.
• Bibi Dong entered Qian Chongling’s room, and he instructed her to step into a magic array, break the crystal around the Jade Pendant, and pour her Soul Power into it.
• Bibi Dong crushed the crystal and activated the pendant, disappearing into the Torch Dragon Secret Realm.
• Qian Chongling watched her departure and worried as he explained that the Torch Dragon Martial Soul’s grade and godhood depended on whether its projection favored her.

Bibi Dong faced the Torch Dragon’s trial and received its power after answering what she most desired. Her return unleashed an overwhelming aura that frightened the beings guarding the Angel, Sea God, Slaughter, and Dragon God inheritances across Douluo Continent.

• The Torch Dragon asked Bibi Dong what she wanted most, and she first answered that she wanted most people to have enough food and warm clothing.
• After the Torch Dragon rejected her first answer, Bibi Dong recalled her memories with her teacher and blurted out her resentment toward another woman.
• Bibi Dong gave her final answer, passed the trial, and received a Torch Dragon mark despite using all three chances.
• Bibi Dong returned to the Star-Moon Hotel, where a colossal Torch Dragon phantom erupted behind her and its aura swept across Douluo Continent.
• Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and the King of Slaughter sensed their sacred weapons trembling, while the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian felt fear beneath the Lake of Life.

Bibi Dong gained a Torch Dragon Martial Soul and a God Official-level inheritance that she could improve over time. After testing her new armor and increased power, she sparred with Qian Chongling for training.

• Qian Chongling learned that Bibi Dong had received a Torch Dragon inheritance, and she explained that its divine position was currently at the God Official level but could be raised later.
• Bibi Dong told Qian Chongling that the Torch Dragon Martial Soul had swallowed her two spider-type Martial Souls and their Soul Rings, leaving her with Soul Power above rank fifty but no Soul Rings.
• Bibi Dong used Torch Dragon Possession and transformed the Torch Dragon into black-and-purple armor with bladed wings.
• Bibi Dong attacked Qian Chongling, who estimated that her strength and speed had increased by roughly thirty to forty percent.
