Ning Fengzhi offered Gula a gold card and sought a connection to his teacher after learning about Martial Soul Evolution, then warned the academy about the Yongsheng Merchant Association. At Shrek, Ma Hongjun introduced the new student Xu Xiaoyan, and Gula uncovered her connection to Xue Ye and the Star Crown Sect while recovering from his injuries.

• Ning Fengzhi gave Gula a gold card and asked him to look after Ning Rongrong when she came to Shrek, then warned him that the Yongsheng Merchant Association had been arrested for smuggling herbs to the Star Luo Empire.
• Gula sent Ma Hongjun to warn Flender about the association's possible revenge, and Flender tasked Ma Hongjun with receiving Xu Xiaoyan, a student from the Star Crown Sect.
• Ma Hongjun brought Xu Xiaoyan to the Training Ground, where Xiao Wu confronted Dai Mubai and welcomed the new student.
• Gula used his ability to look into Xu Xiaoyan's past and learned that she had two older male cousins and a grandfather named Xue Ye.
• Gula realized Xu Xiaoyan's arrival was connected to the plot he had sensed and wondered how many Soul Tools the Star Crown Sect possessed.

• Xu Xiaoyan asked Gula which girl he liked best, and he said he wanted them all, prompting her to call him a scumbag and run to tell Xiao Wu.

• After Xu Xiaoyan revealed Gula's ambition, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing felt awkward around each other, and Zhu Zhuqing continued practicing with fireflies.

At a Spirit Hall elders’ meeting, Bibi Dong introduced Da Mu’s eighteen visualization diagrams, which trained Spiritual Power and could enable elemental control. After the elders experienced their benefits, Spirit Hall decided to publish the method, while the chapter also showed Xiao Wu confronting Gula over his feelings for the girls around him.

• Xiao Wu stormed into Gula’s room, accused him of being bad, and demanded to know whom he liked most; Gula claimed he liked her best.
• Bibi Dong convened a Spirit Hall meeting and distributed Da Mu’s eighteen visualization diagrams, which the elders used to cultivate their Spiritual Power.
• Ghost Douluo awakened last, broke through to level 96, and regretted that his past choices had limited his potential.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo sensed that he could correct his cultivation path, while Golden Crocodile Douluo argued that Da Mu’s research made him exceptionally valuable to Spirit Hall.
• Qian Daoliu noted that Da Mu might release the diagrams himself if Spirit Hall withheld them, and the elders agreed to publish them.
• Spirit Hall issued the visualization method in the next day’s Spirit Report.

Gula gave the group the original Visualization Diagrams and used Great Balls to capture four companions, revealing a portable training environment that excited Xu Xiaoyan. Xu Xiaoyan wondered whether to tell her sect about Gula, fearing she would have to leave Xiao Wu and might become his enemy.

• Gula showed the group the original Visualization Diagrams and asked them to memorize them.
• Gula brought out a Portable Mimicry Environment Ball and threw Great Balls at Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Xu Xiaoyan.
• Xu Xiaoyan experienced a starry snowfield inside her Great Ball and felt her martial soul might evolve.
• Xu Xiaoyan worried that informing her sect about Gula would force her to leave Xiao Wu and could make her and Gula enemies.

Gula urged the others to cultivate personalized Visualization Methods while planning to publish monthly analyses of visualization diagrams. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi successfully combined his martial soul with the Myriad Things Bead, concluding that this was the proper way to cultivate martial souls and visualization diagrams.

• The group compared the spaces inside their Great Balls, showing off Dai Mubai’s mountain forest, Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix House, and Oscar’s food-scented domain.

• Gula planned to publish monthly analyses of the visualization diagrams and calculated how he would develop his Groudon Martial Soul.

• Ning Fengzhi told Chen Xin and Gu Rong that any martial soul could use the Myriad Things Visualization Diagram as a basis for a personalized Visualization Method.

Ning Fengzhi persuaded Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo to begin cultivating visualization methods, while Qian Renxue arranged an official trip back to Spirit Hall to complete her Six-Winged Angel Visualization Diagram. As Qian Renxue left the palace, Xue Ye prepared to help Xu Xingquan divine Da Mu’s location, staking imperial resources on the attempt.

• Ning Fengzhi explained that multiple visualization methods could divide Spiritual Power and risk Spiritual Schism, then gathered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect elders to begin cultivation.
• Qian Renxue read Qian Daoliu’s letter about the visualization diagrams and arranged for Spirit Hall to invite a Heaven Dou delegation so she could return openly.
• Three days later, Xue Ye selected Xue Qinghe to lead the delegation, with Xue Xing accompanying him, while privately ordering his Secret Guards not to obstruct Xu Xingquan.
• Xue Ye planned to use Xu Xingquan’s divination to locate Da Mu while Xue Qinghe was away, and Xu Xingquan arrived at the imperial palace with preparations for a midnight ceremony.
• Xue Ye ordered supplies and access to a treasury warehouse, promising Xu Xingquan unrestricted use of the Heaven Dou National Treasury if he found Da Mu.

Xu Xingquan used the Star Crown Sect’s resources to calculate Da Mu’s location, but Gula intervened and the divine backlash destroyed Xu Xingquan’s Martial Soul and crippled his Soul Power. Xu Xingquan survived and told Xue Ye that Da Mu was likely hidden in Heaven Dou City, leaving Xue Ye eager to continue their search.

• Xu Xingquan used the Ever-Burning Lamps and Star Derivation Chessboard to map the Heaven Dou Empire under dense starlight, while Xu Xiaoyan felt her Martial Soul responding to the energy.
• Gula sensed the calculation, recognized that Xu Xingquan was trying to locate Da Mu, and used Groudon’s authority to retaliate against the attempt to calculate a god.
• A scarlet rift opened above the Star Observation Platform, and the backlash shattered Xu Xingquan’s Martial Soul and reduced his Soul Power to below rank thirty.
• Xu Xingkong was burned by the Black Flame when he rushed to help, and Xue Ye’s healing Soul Skill also triggered the backlash before the Ever-Burning Lamps went out.
• Gula saw the damage from afar, warned that the next deduction would cost more, and returned to sleep.
• Xu Xingquan admitted his miscalculation to Xue Ye and estimated a seventy percent chance that Da Mu was in Heaven Dou City, prompting Xue Ye to propose continuing their cooperation.

Xu Xingquan agreed to an alliance with Xue Ye, while Gula recovered further and met with Ning Fengzhi to discuss the Myriad Things Visualization Diagram. Ning Fengzhi gave Gula a Star Crystal Embryo, and Gula agreed to explain the diagram.

• Xu Xingquan accepted Xue Ye's alliance terms so the Heaven Dou Empire would bear the burden of acting openly.
• Xiao Wu found Gula recovering and eating Energy Cubes, while Xu Xiaoyan concealed her guilt about his recovery.
• Ning Rongrong told Gula that Ning Fengzhi would visit to discuss the Myriad Things Visualization Diagram in exchange for special materials.
• Ning Fengzhi brought Gula rare materials, including a Star Crystal Embryo, and gave it to him.
• Gula agreed to explain the Myriad Things Visualization Diagram to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi explained how he cultivated the Myriad Things Visualization Diagram, and Gula described how it could complement the Battle Visualization Diagram. Ning Fengzhi agreed to let Ning Rongrong train in swordsmanship to strengthen her physique, while Bone Douluo discovered that Gula’s Aura Power could express an intent resembling his own.

• Ning Fengzhi summoned his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and explained that the Myriad Things Visualization Diagram cultivated adaptable, attribute-less spiritual power through the Myriad Things Bead.
• Gula explained that the Battle Visualization Diagram cultivated spiritual intent and demonstrated how his Aura Power could take the form of different weapons.
• Bone Douluo sensed that Gula’s Aura Power had spiritual and bodily qualities, while Ning Fengzhi learned that Ning Rongrong wanted to study swordsmanship under Chen Xin.
• Gula proposed that Ning Rongrong use swordsmanship to temper her physique while continuing her secret-method cultivation, and Ning Fengzhi accepted the plan.
• Ning Fengzhi invited Gula to learn swordsmanship from Chen Xin, but Gula declined and said the Sword Dao was not his path.
• Bone Douluo recognized that Gula’s changing intent resembled his own, then grew displeased when Gula dismissed the study of intent as a distraction.

Gula explained his teacher’s conception of the Myriad Things Visualization Diagram to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, including how it could help martial souls overcome their limits. Ning Fengzhi saw a possible path for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve and planned to investigate it.

• Ning Fengzhi asked Gula about his recent injury, and Gula explained that he had suffered Cultivation Deviation while trying to break through to Extreme Fire.
• Gula demonstrated how Spiritual Power could form and transform Myriad Things Beads, then described the diagram’s goal of simulating martial souls and aiding breakthroughs.
• Ning Fengzhi was astonished by the idea of using chaos to contain all things and wondered whether it could let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve.
• Gula explained why entering the Visualization Method had no shortcut and advised Ning Fengzhi to experiment first with other Attribute-less support-type martial souls.
• Ning Fengzhi gave Gula his materials and considered combining the Mega Evolution Device, Visualization Method, and intent realm to break through to rank eighty.
• Gula told Ning Fengzhi that each martial soul type could strengthen the Myriad Things Bead only once, and that dividing its breakthrough power among more attempts would weaken it.

Gula built a Soul Tool computer around the Star Crystal Embryo and fused Rotom with it to create a research assistant. Rotom came online after Gula replaced faulty parts and began introducing its capabilities.

• Ning Fengzhi concluded that the Myriad Things Bead received a stronger boost from stronger martial souls and higher cultivation, then left with Ning Rongrong.
• After they departed, Gula decided he needed a research assistant and planned to combine the Star Crystal Embryo with a computer and Rotom.
• Gula forged and assembled hundreds of parts into a multifunctional Soul Tool computer, but its first configuration produced errors when Rotom tried to merge with it.
• Gula exchanged for replacement components, and Rotom reorganized the Energy Matrix and displayed a scan identifying Gula's injuries.
• Rotom offered to demonstrate its abilities, and Gula asked it to introduce itself.

Gula tested Rotom’s ability to analyze soul power and sword energy, then tasked it with building a research database and devising a cultivation method. Rotom developed a theoretical method requiring a hundred-thousand-year soul beast as a blueprint, so Gula called Xiao Wu over to serve as a possible subject.

• Gula had Rotom scan his soul power and sword energy, but Rotom failed to explain their principles and blamed the sword energy on a bond between Trainer and finger.
• Gula gave Rotom his published theses and twenty-one Visualization Diagrams to record, then added the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record as reference material.
• Gula asked Rotom to deduce a better cultivation method, and Rotom proposed the Martial Soul-Soul Ring Polymorphism Unified Field Theory using soul rings as external meridians.
• Rotom’s calculations suggested that remodeling meridians to divine-beast strength required a hundred-thousand-year soul beast as a blueprint, so Gula summoned Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Wu was alarmed by Rotom, and Gula explained that it was a metal life form before Rotom jokingly called her Mommy.

Gula had Rotom scan Xiao Wu and asked her to describe how she took human form, gathering information for a new cultivation technique. Rotom then presented a three-part Soul Power circulation diagram based on Gula’s body, leaving Gula to examine its proposed connection to his origins from Groudon and Celebi.

• Rotom chased Xiao Wu around Square Pavilion until she kicked it into the dirt, then Gula stopped their antics and treated her ankle.
• Gula asked Xiao Wu to describe her transformation into human form, and she recalled sealing her Soul Power before her body and thoughts changed.
• Gula recorded Xiao Wu’s account as data for a cultivation technique and considered whether to consult the Plane Consciousness.
• Rotom completed its scan and demonstrated a Soul Power circulation diagram that combined the heart, brain, and dantian.
• Rotom explained that the diagram incorporated Gula’s circulatory system because his origins from Groudon and Celebi made his body suited to those energies.

Gula used Rotom to calculate a more efficient cultivation method and assign it training and research tasks, while Xiao Wu enjoyed its entertainment projection. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong asked Sword Douluo to teach her swordsmanship, and he began with the basics.

• Gula learned that Rotom's simulated cultivation method surpassed Mysterious Heaven Skill in conversion efficiency, recovery speed, and soul power quality, then tasked it with researching Bloodline Power and training plans.
• Gula ordered Rotom to adapt its entertainment library to Douluo Continent and limit Xiao Wu's leisure time until she completed her training.
• Rotom showed Xiao Wu a holographic film, and Gula left her watching it rather than interrupting her enjoyment.

• After saving enough Legendary Pokémon Exchange Coupons through his Visualization Diagram explanations, Gula traveled to a volcano and began Mega Evolution with his Groudon clone.
• Gula’s Groudon Martial Soul entered Primal Reversion as the volcano erupted, and Gula teleported away after suppressing the lava’s threat to nearby plants.
• The earth’s tremors disturbed the Silver Dragon King in the Lakebed Secret Realm, and her released pressure made the nearby soul beasts kneel.
• Di Tian recognized the Lord’s aura and told the fierce beasts that Asura God’s divine power was no longer a concern and the Soul Beast Tribe would rise again.

The Silver Dragon King emerged from her recovery after sensing Gula and confronted him over the Visualization Diagram Faith Authority. She overwhelmed him, and Gula escaped through Space-Time Travel after threatening to return.

• Di Tian and Bi Ji discussed how human Soul Masters' faith was strengthening the Soul Beast Tribe, while Bear Lord and the Myriad Demon King pursued their own visualization methods.
• The Silver Dragon King appeared before Di Tian and explained that Gula's aura had awakened her early, and that the Power of Faith had weakened Asura's influence over her.

• Gula used hypnosis to take over the identity and assets of a dead illegitimate son from a Fire Attribute Soul Master Family, then escaped to the Sun Moon Federation.
• Gula crossed the sea aboard the Soul Guidance Cruise Ship Sea God and traveled to Eastsea City, where he bought a manor and made connections among the city’s upper class.
• Gula chose to cultivate his Celebi Martial Soul because it could strengthen his Space-Time Travel and had no Soul Rings, unlike his Groudon Martial Soul.
• Gula reviewed what he knew about Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Leng Yaozhu, and the competition for Spirit Envoy positions before deciding he might resort to force to obtain Spirit Pagoda’s secrets.
• After passing a retina scan, Gula entered Spirit Pagoda and spotted Wu Zhangkong leading a group of youths, recognizing that Class Zero had likely been established.
