Jiang Wu fought ten matches in the Soul Fighting Zone and won every one, earning 200 Gold Soul Coins and a place on the monthly record wall. After his friends celebrated his streak, Gu Yue revealed that he ranked third in wins that month.
Jiang Wu began his Soul Tool studies under Xian Lin'er and explained how his Dragon Transformation advanced. When he demonstrated it, the dragon might of his Golden Dragon King Bloodline overwhelmed Xian Lin'er's Azure Flame Dragon, leaving her astonished by its power.
Jiang Wu left his first lesson with Xian Lin'er carrying a stack of Soul Tool books, while Xian Lin'er privately wondered about the power behind his Dragon Transformation. Back at the dormitory, Jiang Wu began studying and offered to help Huo Yutong and Gu Yue learn about Soul Tools, while Wang Dong'er quickly fell asleep beside them.
When Xu Sanshi demanded an apology from Huo Yutong over a dispute at her grilled-fish stall, Jiang Wu challenged him to a duel to settle the matter. They agreed to wager a Mystic Water Pill against something Bei Bei had promised, and the chapter ended as Xu Sanshi summoned his Black Tortoise Shield in the Soul Fighting Zone.
Jiang Wu defeated Xu Sanshi with a single punch, prompting Xu Sanshi to mistake him for his mother and surrender amid the crowd’s laughter. Jiang Wu claimed the Mystic Water Pill and gave it to Huo Yutong, leaving the arena with Wang Dong'er and Huo Yutong.
After Xu Sanshi apologized for calling Jiang Wu “Mom,” Jiang Wu joined his friends in teasing him before enjoying Huo Yutong’s grilled fish. Back in the dormitory, Jiang Wu mocked Gu Yue’s flat chest, leaving Gu Yue furious and wondering why Jiang Wu provoked the same urge to fight as the Golden Dragon King.
Gu Yue told Jiang Wu she was a girl named Gu Yuena hiding at Shrek Academy, and he agreed to keep her secret. The next morning, Jiang Wu and his friends started their first day of school, where students were already gossiping about his fight with Xu Sanshi.
After class, Wang Dong'er tricked Xiao Xiao into calling Jiang Wu “Mom,” causing an embarrassing misunderstanding and a playful scuffle. Xiao Xiao and Jiang Wu made peace, while Huo Yutong quietly wished she could become more comfortable with him and join in.
Jiang Wu kissed Wang Dong'er to stop her teasing, then outran her through the academy corridors before agreeing to treat her better. In the Divine Realm, Tang San watched the exchange on a screen as Xiao Wu arrived with tea.
Tang San worried over Wang Dong'er’s growing closeness to Jiang Wu, while Xiao Wu defended the boy. Days later, Jiang Wu and his friends encountered a powerful red-clad woman at Sea God Lake, and he subdued her with his soul skills and Golden Dragon Body.
Jiang Wu knocked out Ma Xiaotao after she attacked the group, then revealed his dragon-type Second Martial Soul to Wang Dong'er and Huo Yutong. Yan Shaozhe arrived and questioned Jiang Wu about what happened, surprised by the freshman's strength and his connection to Xian Lin'er.
After Jiang Wu received compensation from Yan Shaozhe for the incident at Sea God Lake, Yan Shaozhe explained to Ma Xiaotao that Jiang Wu had knocked her unconscious and regretted that Xian Lin'er had taken him as a disciple. Jiang Wu and the others left with their pills, while Yan Shaozhe headed toward the Martial Soul Department's office building.
Jiang Wu explained his unusual Second Martial Soul to his friends before Ma Xiaotao abducted him to a secluded grove and challenged him to a strength-suppressed fight. She offered to grant him a reasonable favor if he won, but Jiang Wu questioned whether the risk was worth the reward.
Jiang Wu and Ma Xiaotao sparred after agreeing that he would earn two favors if he won, while he would buy her meals for a month if he lost. Their fight escalated from close combat to Soul Skills, and the chapter ended with Ma Xiaotao dodging Jiang Wu’s powerful rabbit-shaped Mitu Shockwave in midair.
Jiang Wu sparred with Ma Xiaotao, but their fight ended when her Evil Fire flared up and she kissed him. Xian Lin'er knocked Ma Xiaotao unconscious, leaving Jiang Wu shaken as the others intervened.
After Ma Xiaotao lost control and kissed Jiang Wu during their fight, Shrek Academy’s deans reassured him and promised compensation. Wu Ming escorted him out of the Inner Court, teasing him about the lipstick mark and asking why Ma Xiaotao had been so determined to fight him.
Jiang Wu recounted his encounter with Ma Xiaotao to Wu Ming, then returned to the dormitory, where Wang Dong'er confronted him about Ma Xiaotao's kiss and damaged clothes. The chapter ended with Wang Dong'er angrily scrubbing the lipstick mark from his face.
Jiang Wu told Wang Dong'er that Ma Xiaotao had kissed him when her Evil Fire flared up, and Wang Dong'er tried to kiss him to make him forget it. Gu Yuena and Huo Yutong walked in on them, leaving Jiang Wu to explain the situation to both of them.
Jiang Wu’s team competed in the freshman assessment and won all ten of their round-robin matches. He learned that Wang Dong’er, Huo Yutong, and Xiao Xiao had also won all ten, and the chapter ended with him noticing how much healthier Huo Yutong looked.
Jiang Wu, Gu Yuena, and He Song advanced through the elimination rounds to the semifinals, where they faced Dai Huabin’s team. Dai Huabin challenged Jiang Wu, who questioned how long his opponent could last against him.
Jiang Wu stopped Dai Huabin from using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then defeated him with Illusory Charm Eyes and a series of throws. Zhu Lu forfeited, sending Jiang Wu's team to the final, where Wang Dong'er praised his throwing technique.
Wang Dong'er and Huo Yutong tried to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the tournament final, but Jiang Wu disrupted them and knocked Wang Dong'er out of the arena. With Gu Yuena and He Song holding off Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao, the match continued with Jiang Wu's team in control.
