Arc 1The Crown Prince in Mingdu
Xu De drew Xiao Wu and several future allies into the Sun Moon Empire, defeated Tang Hao, and established himself at Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy. After the academy’s conflicts with Tang San and Dai Mubai, a spatial rift stranded Xu De in an unfamiliar forest with most of his powers gone.
- Xu De awakened his mutated Martial Souls, took Xiao Wu under his protection, and began pursuing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before Tang San could reach it.
- Xu De recruited Dugu Bo, gathered the Immortal Herbs, and attacked Nuoding City, where Tang Hao died protecting Tang San from the Scarlet Sun Cannon.
- Xu De searched Heaven Dou Great Forest for Tang Hao’s Soul Bone, gained the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as a Soul Ring, and recruited Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang to his cause.
- In Mingdu, Xu De proposed founding Soul Engineer academies and gathered Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and the Shui sisters into the Mingdu Seven Monsters.
- Xu De defeated Qian Hao and Dai Mubai at the academy and arena, while Zhu Zhuqing rejected Dai Mubai and defeated him with Xu De’s support.
- Xu De brought Liu Erlong to see Yu Xiaogang and Tang San together, leaving her shocked, while a voice confronted Tang San and warned that the Divine Realm and their world would merge within twenty years.
- A spatial force pulled Xu De into a rift, and he awoke in an unfamiliar forest with Tian Meng weakened and most of his powers unavailable.
- Xu De used his remaining strength to kill a Wind Baboon attacking a blue-eyed boy, who thanked him and showed him the White Tiger Dagger his mother had left him.
