The story of transcending the gods continues as The Black Troop Season 3 (Xiong Bing Lian 3) had been unveiled during the Tencent Video Animation Annual Conference last August 8, 2021. It is one of the series under the sequels category that the Chinese giant company had revealed for their 2021-2022 donghua lineup. The Black Troop 3 is the biggest of all the returning sci-fi donghua in the list along with Swallowed Star and Knights on Debris which are both coming back for another season.
Transcendence Picture also returns as its animation studio while Tencent Penguin Pictures is producing the series. The series which was also known by many names such as Super Seminary Fifth Season, Transcend the Gods: The Black Troop, Chao Shen Xue Yuan: Xiong Bing Lian was first released on June 1, 2017 and run for 33 episodes until April 19, 2018. Each episode is 15-minute long, it was then followed by the 2nd season which aired on January 24, 2019.
The Black Troop is a rather complicated series on the surface, it was actually the 3rd season of the Super Seminary series (Chao Shen Xue Yuan) which was first released in 2015. Whereas, Super Seminary is the 3rd season of the main donghua La La La De Marcia. The series was then officially called Super Seminary upon reaching 3rd season. Its characters are based on the League of Legends online game but follow a completely separate story. Therefore, this makes the upcoming Xiong Bing Lian 3, the 7th season of the entire series, aside from various side stories and spin-offs that spawned from La La La De Marcia.
