Chapter Summaries

Lin Xi, Emiya, and Melusine traveled into the Far North to find an eighty-thousand-year-old Snow Spirit Queen as a suitable target for summoning Morgan. After Melusine and Emiya defeated a large group of Snow Spirits, they pressed onward, expecting the queen to be nearby.

• Lin Xi explained why he had chosen Morgan and worried that Morgan and Artoria would clash after the summoning.
• With Melusine's help, Lin Xi and Emiya reached the Far North in less than two days to hunt for the Snow Spirit Queen.
• Emiya spotted more than a hundred hostile Snow Spirits, and he and Melusine prepared to fight.
• Emiya's projected swords killed dozens of the weakest Snow Spirits, and Melusine slaughtered the rest with her blade.
• Emiya advised against resting because their battle had likely alerted the queen, so Lin Xi agreed to keep moving.

Lin Xi and his companions fought the Snow Queen and her clan in the Far North. After Emiya trapped the queen in Unlimited Blade Works, they broke through her defenses and killed her with a coordinated attack.

• The Snow Queen gathered her clan to create a blizzard domain that drained Lin Xi's Soul Power and disrupted his perception of Melusine.
• Lin Xi ordered Emiya to act, while Melusine kept the Snow Queen occupied and Artoria protected Emiya from the Snow Spirits.
• Emiya activated Unlimited Blade Works, isolating the Snow Queen and letting Artoria, Melusine, and a rain of swords overwhelm her.
• The Snow Queen unleashed a final attack, but Lin Xi used Command Spells to direct Artoria to block it and Melusine to break her barrier.
• Emiya ended the fight with a gunshot, and swords erupted from inside the Snow Queen, killing her.

After absorbing the Snow Queen’s eighty-thousand-year Soul Ring, Lin Xi summoned Morgan, who nearly attacked Artoria before he persuaded her to stand down by promising to help her see Baobhan Sith again. Morgan then revealed that Lin Xi had misunderstood the nature of his Martial Soul.

• With the Snow Queen defeated, Lin Xi recalled Artoria and Emiya and asked Melusine to finish off the remaining Snow Spirits; she killed nearly all of them.
• Lin Xi absorbed the Snow Queen’s Soul Ring over the course of a day, then summoned Morgan as his next Heroic Spirit.

• Lin Xi told Morgan about Baobhan Sith, and Morgan agreed not to attack Artoria as long as Artoria did not provoke her.
• Morgan reappeared and told Lin Xi that his Martial Soul was not a Command Spell.

Lin Xi learned from Morgan that his Martial Soul was his Master Qualification, not the Command Spells, and that the Human Order of two worlds had helped him summon Heroic Spirits. Morgan believed his Martial Soul could undergo a Second Awakening, leaving Lin Xi eager to see how Huo Yutong was progressing.

• Morgan explained that Lin Xi's Command Spells were magical power left by the Makiri Family, while his Martial Soul was his Master Qualification.
• Morgan theorized that the Human Order of both worlds had drawn Lin Xi in as reinforcements because the Douluo Continent's Human Order was failing.
• Lin Xi asked whether his Master Qualification could count as a Body Martial Soul and undergo a Second Awakening.
• Morgan said she could work out a method if she witnessed a Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening.
• Lin Xi thanked Morgan and thought about Huo Yutong's progress as he looked up at the night sky.

Huo Yutong survived the Soul Bone fusion’s third stage by realizing that her deepest wish was to remain with Lin Xi, not simply to pursue revenge.

• Tang San told Xiao Wu that the child of destiny had briefly broken his seal and suspected another Divine Realm power was helping her.
• Tang San considered Destruction, Life, and the new God Kings as possible suspects and planned to contact Da Ming and Er Ming.
• Ning Tian received Lin Xi’s request to invite the Body Sect to the Soul Tool trade fair and hesitated because of the sect’s hostility toward Shrek Academy and Soul Tools.

• Lin Xi mourned Huo Yutong’s new habit of addressing him by name, while Morgan teased him and searched for the world’s Leyline.
• Morgan explained that connecting to the Leyline would give Lin Xi’s Servants more Magical Energy but would not remove the limits imposed by his cultivation.
• Lin Xi asked whether Huo Yutong could connect to the Leyline, and Morgan said it could help her absorb the powers within her and reach Titled Douluo level in about five years.
• Huo Yutong returned and asked Lin Xi when he would take her to get her Third Soul Ring.

• Wang Dong brooded over Lin Xi’s warning that they were enemies and believed his kindness had drawn her into loving him.

• Yan Shaozhe questioned Lin Xi, Huo Yutong, and Wang Dong'er about being late, and Lin Xi said they had been searching for a Spiritual-type Soul Beast for Huo Yutong’s Soul Ring.

• Lin Xi claimed Huo Yutong’s Martial Soul Second Awakening had caused accumulated Soul Power to surge after she obtained her Second Soul Ring.
• Yan Shaozhe found Lin Xi’s explanation plausible, while Lin Xi privately reflected that Huo Yutong’s real gains had come from accumulated energy, the Ice Empress, and Morgan’s Leyline connection.
• Lin Xi decided to keep Morgan and Huo Yutong’s Ultimate Martial Soul secret from Shrek’s leaders and asked Yan Shaozhe whether his excuse was suitable.
