The Sun Moon Empire has surrounded Shrek Academy, and Di Tian can no longer sense his reverse scale. Both demand that Shrek Academy gives up Huo Yuhao - or else.Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao is in seclusion attempting to condense his second soul core through the Yin-Yang Complement technique. It's a feat no human has ever achieved, and a necessary step if he hopes to defeat Di Tian and ascend. If he succeeds, he'll make history. If he fails, he'll die. Fortunately, he won't have to go at it alone...As terrifying as the Sun Moon Empire's encirclement is, Huo Yuhao and his friends suspect a diversion, and that their true target is the Dou Ling Empire. Even if they're right, the academy can't risk itself by dividing its forces. Huo Yuhao and his friends will have to rush to the Dou Ling Empire's aid on their own - with or without the academy's permission.Will they arrive in time to save the most vulnerable of the three native empires? And if not, will they be able to pick up the pieces?
