• Xuan Yue explained that she had absorbed Immortal Spirit Qi from a God Realm Shard and could pass it to Lin Xuan, whose body had begun evolving toward a divine body.

• Hei Yi led the gathered Soul Fighters through the mountains to a mountaintop stone house, where Elder Wu received them.
• Hei Yi told the candidates that staying in Dragon Valley for three months would earn direct promotion to Soul Fighter, while failing to last one month would cost them their status, and someone in the crowd laughed.

Elder Wu failed to open Dragon Valley, which had apparently disappeared, leaving Yue Zhengyu devastated after he had wagered most of his family resources on the trip. Aboard a ship, Lin Xuan worked on a mecha blueprint intended to help Mu Ye, while Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan reacted to his newly enhanced allure.

• Yue Zhengyu asked Hei Yi to make him the next master of the Soul Fighting Hall if he obtained a True Dragon Soul Bone, and Hei Yi agreed.

• Lin Xuan returned to Spirit Creation Academy and found A Ruheng supervising Life Contract students as they trained under heavy gravity rings.

• After lunch, Mu Ye asked Lin Xuan to explain the Beast Warrior mecha concept in more detail.

• Lin Xuan showed Mu Ye his battle armor and explained how its three cores let him mobilize his essence, qi, and spirit for controlled overclocking.

• Lin Xuan asked what would happen if humans stopped trying to control machines as humans, then clarified that he meant using the Life Contract rather than mechanical body modifications.
• Mu Ye realized Lin Xuan might be proposing that soul beasts be transformed into mechas and equipped with soul-guided weapons.

Lin Xuan brought Yuanen Yehui and the others to the Evergreen Forest to seek soul-beast partners, while Tang Wulin stayed behind to cultivate. He visited Zi Ji afterward, discussed her separation from the Star Dou Forest, and ended by kissing her.

• Lin Xuan teased Zi Ji about becoming a maidservant in Gu Yue’s dowry, then kissed her as the squirrels covered their eyes and ran away.

Ye Xinglan found the Starry Sky Sword Bamboo Lin Xuan had recommended and faced its challenge to defeat it with a sword. Yuanen Yehui tried to recruit a ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape by proposing they grow strong enough to catch up to Lin Xuan, and the ape let her follow along.

• Ye Xinglan reached the Starry Sky Sword Bamboo grove, where her Stargod Sword resonated with the bamboo's sword intent and the grove attacked her.

• Yuanen Yehui said she would defeat Lin Xuan, and the Titan Giant Ape revealed its interest in him before turning to leave.
• Yuanen Yehui claimed Lin Xuan had captured a Limit Douluo and urged the ape to form an alliance with her; the ape tossed her a boulder and ran off, allowing her to follow.

Lin Xuan pressured Zi Ji to trust him by threatening the soul beasts and showing her peaceful scenes from Evergreen Forest, then revealed the Azure Leaf Bracelet and proved his sincere wish for peace. Zi Ji accepted his proposal, and Lin Xuan showed her that Yue'er was his number one believer.

• Lin Xuan teased Zi Ji about their intimacy, then argued that she and the other soul beasts in human society should support one another.
• Lin Xuan showed Zi Ji scenes of humans and soul beasts living peacefully in Evergreen Forest and warned that he could lead the Federation army against Star Dou Forest.

• Lin Xuan gave Zi Ji the Azure Leaf Bracelet and asked her to manage the soul beasts in his absence.
