Chapter Summaries

Qi Ling pledged Dragon's Glory to defend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect against Spirit Hall, and many of his companions joined the organization. Oscar also agreed to join, but first asked Qi Ling to accept a challenge, leaving his reason unfinished as he glanced at Qian Renxue.

• Qi Ling said Dragon's Glory would help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect withstand Qian Xunji and Spirit Hall.

• Grandmaster, Flender, and Erlong joined Dragon's Glory, with Grandmaster asking Qi Ling to find safe work for Shrek Academy's students.
• Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing joined Dragon's Glory, and Qian Renxue announced she would establish a new knight order within it.
• Oscar agreed to join Dragon's Glory but asked Qi Ling to accept his challenge, then hesitated while glancing at Qian Renxue.

Qi Ling arranged a spar with Oscar so everyone could see Oscar’s new ability, and Oscar agreed to join Dragon’s Glory regardless of the outcome. Oscar copied Qi Ling’s Martial Soul at great cost to his Soul Power, then recovered with a potion that revealed Dragon’s Glory’s wealth.

• Qi Ling noticed Oscar’s feelings for Qian Renxue and resolved not to give her up, while privately promising to find Oscar another beauty.
• Qi Ling invited Oscar to demonstrate his abilities in a spar, and Oscar admitted he would join Dragon’s Glory whether he won or lost.
• Oscar asked for a drop of Qi Ling’s blood and used Ning Rongrong’s support to copy Qi Ling’s Martial Soul with his Sixth Soul Ring.
• Qi Ling’s dragon roar suppressed the resistance Oscar faced, but Oscar exhausted his Soul Power and produced a golden, dragon-like Mirror Sausage.
• Qi Ling gave Oscar a restorative potion, and Oscar learned that each bottle cost a million Gold Soul Coins.

Oscar tested his copied Divine Dragon Emperor abilities against Qi Ling, but he could not use the strongest skills and broke his hand copying Qi Ling’s Tyrant Dragon Fist. Qi Ling assigned Dragon’s Glory to gather forces for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s defense, then went with Ning Rongrong and Tang San to meet Ning Fengzhi.

• Oscar recovered with Qi Ling’s help and tested his Divine Dragon Emperor possession, but his fifth and sixth Soul Skills failed because their Soul Rings were too powerful for him to activate.
• Oscar summoned the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor and struck Qi Ling with Tyrant Dragon Fist, fracturing his own hand against Qi Ling’s defense.
• Qi Ling and the others concluded that a Soul Master’s own abilities mattered more than the power of a copied Martial Soul, and they took Oscar to the infirmary.
• Qi Ling issued Dragon’s Glory’s first sect mission: support the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and gather every force possible within three days.
• Ning Rongrong led Qi Ling and Tang San to meet Ning Fengzhi, whose gray hair and weakened appearance surprised Qi Ling.

Qi Ling arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Tang San to support Ning Fengzhi, who was struggling with the threat of Spirit Hall. After learning that Spirit Hall had sent at least forty thousand Soul Masters and that a clash with the sect was inevitable, they began discussing how to respond.

• Qi Ling reassured Ning Fengzhi that he had come as an ally and entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect despite the danger.
• Ning Fengzhi led Qi Ling, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong to a meeting with Bone Douluo and Jian Lan, who was close to reaching rank seventy.

• Ning Fengzhi said the Heaven Dou Empire had sent two hundred thousand troops to intercept Spirit Hall's force of at least forty thousand Soul Masters, following Xue Qinghe's insistence.
• Qi Ling reasoned that Spirit Hall had anticipated the empire's intervention, and Ning Fengzhi agreed that a battle between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was inevitable.

Qi Ling offered to shelter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s children, and Ning Fengzhi agreed while insisting the sect would stay and fight Spirit Hall. Qi Ling then claimed the sect could keep Spirit Hall from winning and began revealing a secret plan to Ning Fengzhi alone.

• Ning Fengzhi rejected abandoning the sect’s home and said its clansmen would remain to resist Spirit Hall.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that Chen Xin was seeking a safe refuge for the sect’s children, and Qi Ling offered them sanctuary in his territory under Ning Rongrong’s care.
• Ning Fengzhi accepted Qi Ling’s offer, while Bone Douluo questioned whether he should trust Qi Ling with the children’s future.
• Qi Ling argued that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could fight differently on its own grounds and promised Spirit Hall would not win if the sect committed everything.
• Qi Ling asked everyone except Ning Fengzhi to leave, sealed the room with the Xuanyuan Sword Realm, and prepared to disclose his plan privately.

Qi Ling told Ning Fengzhi about a secret, costly plan to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from Spirit Hall, then organized allies and forces for the coming war. He proposed establishing the Tang Sect under Dragon's Glory with Tang San as its master and ordered Ning Rongrong to summon several regiments and the Soul Hunting Squad.

• Qi Ling explained his plan to Ning Fengzhi, who was shocked by its cost and the sin it would entail.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to bear the secret burden with Qi Ling, while hoping Spirit Hall could still be defeated without carrying out the plan.
• Qi Ling, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to seek allies, and Qi Ling pointed out that the Strength Clan already owed allegiance to Tang Hao and Tang San.

• Qi Ling told Ning Rongrong to summon the First Regiment, Fourth Regiment, Independent Regiment, and Soul Hunting Squad to prepare for the war.

Qi Ling returned to Shrek Academy and found its students eager to join the war against Spirit Hall. He set strict strength and mental-readiness tests to decide who could go, leaving the students facing his Nightmare Descends trial.

• Flender told Qi Ling that two thousand students from Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Academy had joined Dragon's Glory and were determined to support the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Qi Ling went with Flender to the square, where Mo Lin struggled to quiet the assembled students until Qi Ling used his Nine Heavens Dragon Roar.
• Qi Ling warned the students about the deaths and hardships of real war, then required at least Soul Grandmaster strength to qualify.
• More than a thousand students met the strength requirement, while those below it withdrew from consideration.
• Qi Ling summoned his Blood Devil Emperor Martial Soul and used Nightmare Descends to create a test that made students confront war's horrors before earning the right to fight.

Qi Ling tested the students' courage by exposing them to a battlefield illusion, then organized the five hundred who passed into teams for the coming war. While the students celebrated reports of Heaven Dou Empire victories, Qi Ling suspected a trap; the latest report revealed the empire's army had been crushed, with only fifty thousand survivors missing and Spirit Hall's force returning.

• The students made repeated attempts to pass Qi Ling's battlefield test, and more than five hundred eventually succeeded.
• Qi Ling had the eight students who passed on their first attempt introduce themselves, then appointed them as team leaders and ordered everyone to prioritize staying alive.
• The students formed teams and prepared for war while waiting for news about the Heaven Dou Empire's army and Spirit Hall's Soul Masters.
• Reports announced several Heaven Dou Empire victories, prompting celebrations, but Qi Ling grew suspicious of the seemingly decisive advances.
• After a day and night without news, a report stated that the Heaven Dou Empire's army had been crushed, with only fifty thousand battered survivors remaining and Spirit Hall's force returning.

After the Heaven Dou Empire’s army suffered a crushing defeat against Spirit Hall, Qi Ling led Dragon’s Glory toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and gathered a growing force of allies. The chapter ended with Tuoliya and three thousand Imperial Knight Order knights joining Qi Ling to avenge their fallen commander.

• Qi Ling and the others discussed the Heaven Dou Empire’s disastrous defeat and decided to leave for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Dugu Bo and Heaven Dou Academy’s three board members joined Qi Ling, bringing the academy’s teachers to the fight.
• Tai Tan arrived with the Strength Clan and declared its allegiance to Dragon’s Glory.
• Tuoliya told Qi Ling that the Imperial Knight Order’s former commander had died in battle and asked to join him with three thousand knights.
• Qi Ling accepted the knights into Dragon’s Glory temporarily and led the enlarged force toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Qi Ling welcomed his forces to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and revealed that his ten-woman Soul Hunting Squad could kill Soul Douluos despite their modest cultivation. He proposed trading rare materials worth a hundred million Gold Soul Coins for a Spirit Hall Titled Douluo’s head, and Ning Fengzhi countered with an offer of five hundred million.

• Qi Ling reassured Ning Fengzhi that Dragon’s Glory would stand with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect against the coming threat.
• Ning Rongrong led Qi Ling’s First Regiment, Fourth Regiment, Independent Regiment, and Soul Hunting Squad to the sect, where Qi Ling ordered Yunlong and the regiments to prepare.
• Qi Ling introduced Tina and the other nine women, then told Ning Fengzhi that each could hunt and kill a Soul Douluo alone.
• Qi Ling gave Ning Fengzhi a list of rare materials and asked whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could gather them; Ning Fengzhi said it could, though they would cost at least a hundred million Gold Soul Coins.
• Qi Ling offered to exchange the materials for a Spirit Hall Titled Douluo’s head, and Ning Fengzhi asked whether Qi Ling would accept five hundred million Gold Soul Coins instead.

Qi Ling unveiled the Enhanced Barrett and explained how the weapon and specialized Soul Hunting Squad could threaten even powerful Soul Masters. He arranged a demonstration with Zhao Wuji, while the squad's abilities remained to be shown.

• Ning Fengzhi gathered the materials Qi Ling needed, and Qi Ling assembled the Soul Hunting Squad and his guests for a demonstration.
• Tina used her storage Soul Tool to reveal the Barrett, and Qi Ling explained that its enhanced range and power could injure even a Titled Douluo with specially made bullets.
• Flender and Tai Tan pressured Zhao Wuji into volunteering to test the Barrett's defensive power.
• Qi Ling led everyone to the mountain behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Zhao Wuji activated his Martial Soul Avatar and prepared to defend himself from over 4,000 meters away.
• Tang San doubted the Barrett could hit Zhao Wuji at that distance, so Qi Ling explained that the squad's ten members had been selected from tens of thousands and trained to use master-recognized weapons with supporting Soul Skills.

Qi Ling demonstrated Tina’s Barrett Sniper Rifle and revealed the full power and cost of his Soul Hunting Squad’s weapons. With Spirit Hall due to arrive the next day, he used the system to exchange Ning Fengzhi’s materials for fifty special bullets and prepared for the coming battle.

• Tina fired a Barrett round that forced Zhao Wuji to use nearly all his Soul Power to stop it.
• Ning Fengzhi and the others recognized the Barrett as a threat to powerful Soul Masters, and Qi Ling revealed that the other nine squad members carried identical rifles.
• Qi Ling told Ning Fengzhi that the ten rifles cost more than a billion Gold Soul Coins and that the squad members were even more valuable.
• Qi Ling exchanged materials worth one hundred million Gold Soul Coins through the system for fifty Barrett-exclusive Soul Hunting Bullets.
• Qi Ling calculated that the squad could fire ten volleys and wondered whether Spirit Hall would bring enough Titled Douluo.

As Spirit Hall’s forty-thousand-strong force arrived to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qi Ling revealed little about his preparations and assured Ning Fengzhi that the remodeled terrain would help. Qi Ling and Tang San spotted fifteen Titled Douluo among the enemy, while Qi Ling prepared Tina and the Soul Hunting Squad to shoot down two airborne attackers.

• Ning Fengzhi organized the sect’s defenders but struggled to understand the First Regiment, Fourth Regiment, and Independent Regiment’s preparations, including the First Regiment’s excavation and bamboo cutting.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Qi Ling about the digging and the excavator, but Qi Ling kept the plan secret and said the altered terrain would benefit the battle.
• Spirit Hall arrived with forty thousand Soul Masters, and Qi Ling and Tang San counted fifteen Titled Douluo, including Fire Eagle Douluo and Gray Feather Douluo approaching from above.
• Qi Ling brought Tang San to Tina and the Soul Hunting Squad, and Tina agreed to prepare the Barrett in exchange for five fruit puddings.
• Fire Eagle Douluo and Gray Feather Douluo flew toward the sect and argued over which of them would kill more defenders for a reward from Qian Xunji.

Qi Ling and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect used Barrett sniper rifles to ambush two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall. Fire Eagle Douluo died in the first volley, and Qi Ling killed Gray Feather Douluo after the second volley failed to finish him.

• Gray Feather Douluo and Fire Eagle Douluo noticed the man-made terrain beneath the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and realized it was prepared against Spirit Hall.
• Tina fired five Barrett shots at Fire Eagle Douluo, killing him after the bullets pierced his arms, chest, skull, and heart.
• Qi Ling ordered the second squad to fire at Gray Feather Douluo, whose teleportation skill let him evade the final two bullets.
• Qi Ling formed an Overbearing Dragon Spear and hurled it through the wounded Gray Feather Douluo, killing him in an explosion.

Qi Ling lured Spirit Hall’s forces into the surrounding mountains and triggered explosives that sent boulders crashing down on them. Spirit Hall lost three thousand Soul Masters and retreated to regroup for a direct assault on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Spirit Hall’s remaining Titled Douluo advanced cautiously after Fire Eagle Douluo and Gray Feather Douluo were killed in midair.
• Qian Jun Douluo, Sun-Shooting Douluo, and Thunder Bear Douluo split Spirit Hall’s army into four groups to surround the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Qi Ling confirmed with Lan Xiang that the preparations were ready, and Lan Xiang sounded his suona to signal the First Regiment.
• The First Regiment detonated explosives, collapsing the surrounding peaks and burying many of Spirit Hall’s Soul Masters beneath falling boulders.
• Spirit Hall’s forces retreated and regrouped after losing three thousand Soul Masters, while Qi Ling prepared for their next attack.

Spirit Hall launched another assault on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Qi Ling unveiled the Independent Regiment’s Italian Cannons. Their first volley tore through the advancing forces, leaving the battle underway.

• Qi Ling waited impatiently for Spirit Hall to regroup while Xiao Wu brought him and Tang San ginger soup and then rallied the defenders.
• When Spirit Hall charged again, Qi Ling ordered Yunlong and the Independent Regiment to open fire.
• Qi Ling showed Tang San and Ning Fengzhi the Vulcan Cannons, which he called Italian Cannons, and explained their power against Soul Masters below the Soul King realm.
• Qian Xunji’s promise of plunder drove Spirit Hall’s forces forward as Qian Jun Douluo and Thunder Bear Douluo wondered what the strange weapons were.
• Yunlong ordered the Italian Cannons’ first volley, and at least fifty guns blasted the advancing Soul Masters with shells and shrapnel.

Qi Ling used Italian cannons and his own attacks to hold back Spirit Hall’s forces, while Sun-Shooting Douluo destroyed several cannons and challenged him. When Qi Ling’s Soul Hunting Squad targeted Sun-Shooting Douluo with ten Barrett rifles, the Douluo dodged nine bullets in a row, leaving Tina to take the next shot.

• Qi Ling’s Italian cannons devastated Spirit Hall’s weaker Soul Masters, so Sun-Shooting Douluo went to the front line to stop the bombardment.
• Sun-Shooting Douluo destroyed an Italian cannon with his Sun-Shooting Arrow, and Qi Ling intercepted his next arrows with the Overbearing Dragon Spear.
• Sun-Shooting Douluo used his Ninth Soul Skill against Qi Ling, but Qi Ling countered with Dragon King Star-Piercing Arrow: Rain of Arrows before the Douluo destroyed three more cannons.
• Qi Ling ordered the Soul Hunting Squad to fire its ten Barrett rifles at Sun-Shooting Douluo, who dodged the first nine bullets with consecutive Teleportation.
• Qi Ling called on Tina to take down Sun-Shooting Douluo after he had used nine teleports.

Tina disabled Sun-Shooting Douluo, but Spirit Hall overwhelmed the Italian cannons and breached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s defenses. As Chen Xin fought three Titled Douluo, Qi Ling prepared to use his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Zhuqing so she could challenge another Titled Douluo.

• Tina shattered Sun-Shooting Douluo’s shoulder, taking him out of the battle, and Qi Ling ordered the Independent Regiment to withdraw after it inflicted about five thousand casualties.
• Spirit Hall’s Soul Masters suppressed the Italian cannons and advanced on the sect, while Chen Xin blocked the main gate with his Seven Kill Sword.
• Chen Xin fought Snake Lance Douluo, then held off Snake Lance Douluo and two other Titled Douluo while Spirit Hall’s forces entered the sect and attacked in several groups.
• Qi Ling stopped Zhu Zhuqing and offered to help her fight a Titled Douluo using their Nether Battle Maiden Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Zhu Zhuqing worried that the fusion would leave Qi Ling unable to use his Martial Soul, but Qi Ling reassured her that he had another Martial Soul.

Qi Ling guided Zhu Zhuqing through a Martial Soul Fusion that created the Nether Battle Maiden, then sent her to fight Gale Douluo on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s flank. Zhu Zhuqing killed dozens of Spirit Hall Soul Masters but was wounded when her attempt to strike Gale Douluo met his wind defense, and she withdrew to seek another opening.

• Qi Ling guided Zhu Zhuqing through the Martial Soul Fusion that transformed her into the Nether Battle Maiden.
• Qi Ling sent Zhu Zhuqing to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s left flank, where Gale Douluo had killed its disciples and dismissed them as weak.
• Zhu Zhuqing used her Netherworld Domain to ambush Spirit Hall’s Soul Masters and kill dozens of them.
• Gale Douluo attacked Zhu Zhuqing with wind blades, but she vanished into the darkness and silently approached him.
• Zhu Zhuqing tried to slash Gale Douluo’s neck, but his wind wall repelled her and wounded her, forcing her to retreat into the Netherworld Domain.

Zhu Zhuqing studied Gale Douluo’s wind-blade defense while the Shrek group fought Spirit Hall’s forces, and Qi Ling summoned a hundred-thousand-year Wind Dragon to protect Xiao Wu. Qi Ling then left to survey the battle and hoped his plan would proceed smoothly.

• Gale Douluo activated his Sixth Soul Skill to surround himself with wind blades, and Zhu Zhuqing watched for an opening instead of attacking again.
• Tang San held off a Soul Douluo, while Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai defeated another with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• A Soul Emperor attacked distracted Xiao Wu, but Qi Ling’s red spear killed him before he could strike her.
• Qi Ling summoned a hundred-thousand-year Wind Dragon and assigned it to guard Xiao Wu; it swept up Spirit Hall Soul Masters with a tornado.
• Qi Ling surveyed the fierce battle between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and hoped his plan would succeed.
