Chapter Summaries

Lin Yu joined Spirit Hall’s delegation at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where both sides held a martial exchange to test their strength after receiving rewards from the Live Stream Room. Spirit Hall won all three matches described, and the exchange continued with one final match still to come.

• Lin Yu joined Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and the Spirit Hall delegation as they visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and met Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
• Ning Fengzhi and Yue Guan agreed to hold a disciple competition, since both sects had received many rewards from the Live Stream Room.

• Hu Liena defeated a clansman of Bone Douluo Gu Rong using the Heavenly Demon Great Art.
• Yan overcame a Wind-splitting Falcon Soul Master, enduring his aerial attacks before defeating him with Flame Blade.

After Spirit Hall won three sparring matches, Lin Yu revealed a powerful healing ability that astonished Ning Fengzhi. Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan then proposed cooperation between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, leaving Ning Fengzhi wondering if this had been the delegation’s real purpose.

• Ning Fengzhi reflected that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not challenge Spirit Hall, whose strength and long-lived Titled Douluos far exceeded its own.
• Ning Fengzhi asked why Spirit Hall’s remaining young man had not fought, and Yue Guan explained that he was a Support-type Soul Master.
• Lin Yu used his first Soul Skill to heal the injuries and restore the energy of the six participants, shocking Ning Fengzhi.
• Yue Guan praised Lin Yu’s talent and said he had the potential to become the first support-type Titled Douluo.
• Yue Guan told Ning Fengzhi that the Pope wanted the two sects to cooperate, and Ning Fengzhi suspected this was the delegation’s true purpose.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan tried to secure the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s cooperation with Spirit Hall, then offered an engagement between Ning Rongrong and Lin Yu as a gesture of goodwill. Ning Fengzhi accepted, leaving Lin Yu stunned to learn he had suddenly become engaged.

• Yue Guan argued that Spirit Hall could offer the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect more than the Heaven Dou Empire and invited Ning Fengzhi to cooperate with Spirit Hall’s plans to unify the continent.
• Ning Fengzhi withheld his agreement, while Yue Guan explained that Spirit Hall had expected this and wanted the sect to have an alternative when conflict came.
• Yue Guan proposed an engagement between Ning Rongrong and Lin Yu, prompting Ning Fengzhi to react with surprise at Lin Yu’s name.
• Sword Douluo Chen Xin objected because Lin Yu was a Support-type Soul Master, but Ning Fengzhi agreed to the engagement and stopped Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong from protesting.
• Lin Yu realized that Ning Fengzhi had just agreed to his engagement to Ning Rongrong without informing him beforehand.

Lin Yu’s engagement to Ning Rongrong became a tentative political arrangement between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Lin Yu secretly stayed behind in Heaven Dou Imperial City. Nearly three months later, the twenty-second live stream began with the participants boasting about their chances in the quiz.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan arranged a non-binding engagement between Lin Yu and Ning Rongrong, then discussed possible cooperation with Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

• Lin Yu saw Ning Rongrong glaring at the departing carriage before Spirit Hall’s group left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• That night, Lin Yu left a Taiqing Avatar in the hotel and secretly went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; using his Mental Mark, he later located Tang San, Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, and Dai Mubai at the Strength Clan’s residence.
• Nearly three months later, Lin Yu waited beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as the twenty-second live stream began, while Meng Shu, Hu Yanzhen, and Dai Tianfeng argued about their chances in the quiz.

The Live Stream showed Tang San and Hu Liena competing in the City of Slaughter and entering the Hell Road together. It left Hu Liena struggling against its corrupting influence and urging Tang San to escape.

• Dai Tianfeng, Yue Guan, and Dai Weisi argued in the Live Stream Room over their factions’ correct answers and rewards.
• The broadcast revealed the City of Slaughter, where Bibi Dong and others recognized the location.
• The camera showed Tang San fighting in the Hell Slaughterfield, then sped through his and Hu Liena’s victories until they earned the names King Asura and Hell Envoy.
• After Tang San and Hu Liena rejected the Slaughter King’s offer, he allowed them to enter the Hell Road, while the Slaughter King watching the broadcast wished Tang San dead.
• Tang San and Hu Liena fought through the Hell Road, but Hu Liena began losing control and struck herself, telling Tang San to leave.

Tang San used the Blood Swan Kiss to poison the river of blood, causing the City of Slaughter to collapse, and the broadcast ended with a question about why he destroyed it. Lin Yu answered that Tang San wanted to prevent others from obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain and had disguised his selfish motive as justice.

• Tang San knocked Hu Liena unconscious and took out the Blood Swan Kiss before continuing along Hell Road.
• Tang San threw the Blood Swan Kiss into the river of blood, poisoning its vapor and killing Fallen Soul Masters in the City of Slaughter.
• Tang San and Hu Liena escaped the City of Slaughter unconscious as their Martial Souls began forming the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• The river of blood dried up, the Purple Moon dimmed, and the City of Slaughter collapsed.
• The broadcast began a question-and-answer session about why Tang San destroyed the City of Slaughter, and Lin Yu submitted that he wanted to keep others from obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Lin Yu, Bibi Dong, and Ning Fengzhi correctly answered that Tang San destroyed the City of Slaughter to prevent others from obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain. Tang San denied the accusation, so Lin Yu requested a replay to prove whether Tang San knew the City of Slaughter was like a prison.

• Lin Yu submitted the correct answer first, and Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi followed, earning the top three rewards.
• Tang San angrily insisted that he had destroyed the City of Slaughter because he could not tolerate such an evil place.
• Lin Yu challenged Tang San's motives, arguing that the City of Slaughter was a prison and that Tang San destroyed it only after nearing the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Tang San claimed he had not known the City of Slaughter was like a prison, and Lin Yu accused him of twisting the truth.
• Lin Yu asked the Live Stream Room to play the replay, and the frozen scene returned to the beginning.

A live-stream replay showed Tang San entering the City of Slaughter and learning that it was a thousand-year-old domain left by a god, where only eight Slaughter Gods had escaped. Lin Yu used Tang San’s knowledge of the City’s role as a prison to accuse him of destroying it for selfish reasons, leaving Tang San unable to answer why he had avoided Lin Yu’s earlier question.

• The replay showed Tang San defeat a Black Armor Knight, take his token, and enter the City of Slaughter with the Black Veil Woman as his guide.
• Tang San asked about the City of Slaughter, and the Black Veil Woman explained its history, rules, and the possibility of becoming a Slaughter God.
• After seeing the Inner City District, Tang San asked why Spirit Hall had not destroyed the City, and the Black Veil Woman said it served as a prison for the continent.
• Lin Yu accused Tang San of destroying the City of Slaughter for selfish reasons and claimed its destruction enabled Tang San to inherit the Asura God’s godhood.
• Tang San angrily denied Lin Yu’s accusations, but Lin Yu asked why he had refused to answer an earlier question if he believed his actions were righteous.
• The Live Stream Room audience interpreted Tang San’s silence as evidence of guilt and became more convinced that he was hypocritical.

Lin Yu accused Tang San of selfishly exploiting the Strength Clan and described his future betrayals, making Tai Tan uneasy about the clan’s loyalty. After the first Live Q&A stage ended, the system unexpectedly began a second stage, which Ning Fengzhi suggested was possible because the stream showed events in the near future.

• Lin Yu claimed Tang San had withheld Immortal Herbs from Tai Tan and Tai Long and that the Strength Clan would eventually be wiped out after following him.
• Tang Hao reassured Tai Tan that Tang San would repay the Strength Clan, while Tai Tan publicly insisted he had never doubted Tang San.
• Lin Yu learned of their conversation through the Mental Mark and continued condemning Tang San’s treatment of others, including Huo Yuhao and the soul beast clan.
• The first stage of the Live Q&A concluded, and the system announced that a second stage would begin.
• Ning Fengzhi suggested that the stream’s near-future setting explained why two Q&A stages were taking place in succession.

The Live Stream showed Tang Hao and Bibi Dong passing through the City of Slaughter’s trials and becoming Slaughter Gods before asking how many Slaughter Gods currently existed on Douluo Continent. Lin Yu considered the known candidates and decided to answer three.

• Tang Hao entered the City of Slaughter, won one hundred consecutive battles, passed the Hell Road, and became a Slaughter God.
• Bibi Dong entered the City of Slaughter, earned the title Demon Spider Queen, passed the Hell Road, and became a Slaughter God.
• The Live Stream asked how many Slaughter Gods currently existed on Douluo Continent and offered rewards for the answers.
• Lin Yu recalled that Tang Chen also possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain and chose three as his answer.

Lin Yu correctly answered that there were three Slaughter Gods on Douluo Continent, and Yu Xiaogang earned third place with a bottle of Blood Essence Pills. After the Live Q&A ended, Yu Xiaogang gave the pills to Tang San in front of the Strength Clan, prompting Tai Tan to consider speaking up.

• Lin Yu answered that there were three Slaughter Gods, and the Live Stream Room confirmed his answer and awarded him a random reward.
• Spirit Hall—He Feng and Yu Xiaogang also answered correctly, earning a random Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and Blood Essence Pills, while Ning Fengzhi placed fourth.
• The Live Stream Room ended the Q&A and announced that the next session would take place in three months.
• At the Strength Clan's residence, Yu Xiaogang retrieved his Blood Essence Pills and handed the bottle to Tang San as a gift.
• Tai Tan recalled Lin Yu's remarks about Tang San and the Strength Clan, then prepared to say something.

Tai Tan tested whether Tang Hao and Tang San would reward the Strength Clan for its loyalty, mindful of revelations that the clan might eventually be betrayed and destroyed. Tang San gave Tai Tan one of his nine Blood Essence Pills, leaving Tai Tan dissatisfied and uncertain about the value of serving them.

• Tai Tan questioned Tang San about how he planned to use the Blood Essence Pills, intending to test whether Tang San and Tang Hao would show generosity toward the Strength Clan.
• Tai Tan reflected on the live stream revelations and concluded that the Strength Clan might have to serve Tang San despite the risk of receiving no benefits.
• Tang San recognized Tai Tan's implied test but privately resented the clan chief's expectation of a reward.
• Tang San asked Tai Tan to prepare a quiet room and gave him one Blood Essence Pill as thanks for the Strength Clan's help.
• Tai Tan noticed that Tang San had kept the remaining eight pills and felt dissatisfied with the small reward.

Tang San rewarded Tai Tan with a Blood Essence Pill, and the Strength Clan helped him and his companions remain hidden from Spirit Hall. Meanwhile, Lin Yu chose a soul-cultivation technique and planned how to recruit more clans, though he still did not know where two of them were.

• Tang San gave Tai Tan one Blood Essence Pill and kept the rest, while Tang Hao silently accepted the decision.
• Tai Tan advised Tang San, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang to stay disguised and proposed sending Dai Mubai away from the Strength Clan to avoid attracting Spirit Hall.
• Lin Yu chose the Azure Lotus Meditation Technique to cultivate his soul after the system warned that contemplating the Chaos Green Lotus would overwhelm him.
• Lin Yu set aside his second random-selection reward and planned to recruit the Nine Heart Begonia Family, the Defense Clan, and the Breaking Clan.
• Lin Yu considered using an alchemy manual to entice Yang Wudi and planned to ask Dugu Bo to help locate the Defense Clan and Breaking Clan.

Niu Gao suspected Tang Hao and Tang San were hiding with Tai Tan’s Strength Clan, while Bibi Dong concluded the same and planned to use Spirit Hall’s investigation to lull them into a false sense of security. The chapter ended with Bibi Dong deciding to launch a surprise attack on the Strength Clan Residence after a later live stream.

• Niu Gao reasoned that Tai Tan’s loyalty to Tang Hao could make the Strength Clan a hiding place for Tang Hao and Tang San, but chose not to alert Spirit Hall.
• Bibi Dong agreed with Yue Guan that Tang Hao and Tang San were likely hiding in the Strength Clan because Lin Yu had deliberately exposed Tai Tan’s loyalty.
• Bibi Dong rejected an immediate attack and ordered the Heaven Dou Imperial City Martial Soul Temple to investigate the Strength Clan first.
• Bibi Dong planned to bring Spirit Hall forces to Heaven Dou Imperial City before the live stream after next and surprise-attack the Strength Clan Residence afterward.

Lin Yu continued cultivating and catalyzing the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while waiting for the twenty-third live stream. When it began, the broadcast showed Heaven Dou Royal Academy, exciting the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and its education committee members.

• Lin Yu spent three months cultivating and using his Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul and Chaos Domain to catalyze the Immortal Herbs, but they had not finished transforming.
• The twenty-third live stream began, and Dai Tianfeng and Xue Ye traded boasts and insults on the virtual screen.
• The broadcast revealed a mountain range and the distant Heaven Dou Imperial City, raising the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's hopes of answering questions correctly.
• The camera moved to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Meng Shenji eagerly awaited the questions.

The live stream showed the Shrek Academy group arriving at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while observers considered recruiting Oscar and Ma Hongjun. Xiao Wu was furious to see herself beside Tang San, but Tang San felt drawn to her; the stream ended with Dai Mubai and the others defeating Xue Beng’s lackeys and entering the academy.

• Viewers recognized Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Lu Qibin, Shao Xin, and the seven young Shrek members at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, prompting several powers to seek Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
• The narration explained that Flender had found Oscar and Ma Hongjun while conducting Martial Soul Awakenings in remote villages, making early recruitment unlikely because they were already studying at Shrek Academy.
• Xiao Wu saw herself standing close to Tang San in the live stream and angrily blamed her future self for being deceived by him.
• Tang San saw Xiao Wu in the live stream, felt love at first sight, and regretted that Lin Yu’s interference had kept them from meeting.

• Dai Mubai punched Xue Beng, the Shrek students defeated his lackeys, and teacher Sun Buyu reprimanded Xue Beng before escorting the group inside; Xue Beng vowed revenge.

The live broadcast showed Shrek Academy being expelled from Heaven Dou Royal Academy before joining Blue Tyrant Academy, where Yu Xiaogang reunited with Liu Erlong. The broadcast then exposed that Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were close blood relatives, leaving Yu Xiaogang mortified and the Live Stream Room in uproar.

• Qin Ming brought the Shrek Academy group to meet Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Education Committee, where Tang San passed Zhi Lin's Soul Power test and revealed his Eight Spider Lances.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that Tang San's Eight Spider Lances were an External Soul Bone that could evolve as a Soul Master's strength increased.
• Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo intervened, forcing Shrek Academy out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so Flender led the group to join Blue Tyrant Academy.
• Flender brought Yu Xiaogang and the others to meet Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang tried to flee when he saw her.
• The Live Stream Room revealed Yu Xiaogang's inner thoughts that he and Liu Erlong could not be together because they were siblings separated by only one generation.

The live stream exposed Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong’s past, then showed Tang San being taken by Dugu Bo and revealing that the Poison Douluo was dying from his family’s Jade Phosphorous Poison. The broadcast ended at Dugu Bo’s Herb Garden—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—after its Immortal Herbs were exposed to the continent’s major powers.

• Yu Xiaogang was devastated when the live stream revealed his past relationship with his cousin Liu Erlong, while Liu Erlong was pleased that her feelings for him had been exposed.
• Liu Erlong welcomed Shrek Academy, offered Blue Tyrant Academy to Flender, and eventually persuaded him to accept it.
• Tang San went alone to Blue Tyrant Academy’s back mountain, where Dugu Bo poisoned him unconscious and carried him away from Heaven Dou Imperial City.
• In a cave, Tang San explained that Dugu Bo was being poisoned by his own Jade Phosphorous Poison and claimed he could cure Dugu Bo’s family.
• Dugu Bo took Tang San to his Herb Garden, which the live stream revealed was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well filled with Immortal Herbs.
• Dugu Bo worried that the exposed Herb Garden would attract powerful people, since he had already offered it to Young Master.

The live stream showed Tang San taking all the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo defending him from Spirit Hall, and eventually joining Tang San’s Tang Sect. When the question-and-answer session asked what would become of the Jade Phosphorous Family, Lin Yu predicted it would be destroyed.

• Tang San cured Dugu Bo’s poison, claimed every herb around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and asked Dugu Bo to become Shrek Academy’s senior advisor.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei attacked Tang San, but Dugu Bo stood by him despite being outmatched.
• The live stream showed Dugu Bo joining Tang San’s Tang Sect, then asked what would become of the Jade Phosphorous Family.
• Many viewers predicted the family would prosper, while Lin Yu answered that it would be destroyed because he believed Tang San would not repay Dugu Bo.

The live stream confirmed that the Jade Phosphorous Family was ultimately destroyed, shocking Dugu Bo and others who believed Tang San would save it. Lin Yu blamed Tang San for withholding a way to cure the family’s hereditary poison, while Tang San angrily denied responsibility.

• Lin Yu, Lin Feng, and Dai Aoxuan correctly answered that the Jade Phosphorous Family was destroyed and received rewards.
• The system revealed that the Jade Phosphorous Poison afflicted every generation of the Jade Phosphorous Family and caused its bloodline to dwindle.
• Dugu Bo struggled to believe that his family would perish because he thought Tang San could solve their poison problem.
• Lin Yu told Dugu Bo that Tang San had never treated him as one of his own or taught the Jade Phosphorous Family how to cure the poison themselves.
