Shrek Academy expelled Zhou Yi in public after evidence of her abuse spread across the continent and triggered protests from parents and students. The academy tried to restore its reputation, but Zhou Yi’s punishment continued after she was abandoned outside Shrek City.

• The Myriad Demon King spread evidence of Zhou Yi’s crimes, prompting former students and furious parents to corroborate the accusations and surround Shrek Academy in protest.

• Yan Shaozhe stripped Zhou Yi of her positions and expelled her before the academy’s students, who cheered and pelted her with rotten food.
• Two teachers flew Zhou Yi beyond Shrek City, left her on the grass despite sensing hidden presences nearby, and returned to the city.

Guo Miao and other former students took revenge on Zhou Yi, killing her after her Soul Power was crippled. Lin Yun paused his campaign against Shrek and transferred with Xiao Xiao to Class 8, where Mu Jin welcomed them.

• Guo Miao confronted Zhou Yi with former students she had expelled, who accused her of ruining their lives and vowed revenge.

• Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao submitted transfer applications to Mu Jin and prepared to report to Class 8 the next day.

After leaving Mu Jin's office, Lin Yun entered Class 8 and drew the attention of Ning Tian, who decided he was the ideal protector and future husband for her clan. Wu Feng watched Ning Tian's interest in Lin Yun with jealousy but lacked the courage to confess her own feelings.

• Mu Jin offered Lin Yun help in the future, and Lin Yun reassured Xiao Xiao that Mu Jin was a reliable teacher.
• Lin Yun arrived in Class 8, where Zheng Xiaolong gave up his seat and earned Lin Yun's approval.
• Zheng Xiaolong yielded the seat beside Lin Yun to Xiao Xiao, who blushed and sat down.
• Ning Tian watched Lin Yun and decided he was the most suitable person to protect her and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.
• Wu Feng felt jealous of Ning Tian's interest in Lin Yun but remained too timid to admit her feelings for Ning Tian.

Lin Yun asked the Ice Empress to bring him a young Ice Jade Scorpion to raise, and she eagerly agreed after fearing he might choose another soul beast. In Class 8, introductions for the new classmates ended with Lin Yun revealing his level thirty-seven cultivation, leaving Ning Tian impressed and Wu Feng stung by her interest in him.

• Lin Yun asked the Ice Empress for a thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion to keep as a pet, and she agreed to return to the Extreme North and bring him one.
• Mu Jin welcomed the students and explained that former Class 1 students had joined Class 8, then arranged introductions instead of holding a lesson.

• Ning Tian privately called Lin Yun the right arm she wanted, while Mu Jin dismissed the class for free activity.

Lin Yun discouraged Xiao Xiao from sacrificing her Twin Martial Souls for the New Student Assessment, then found himself caught between Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian as they competed for his attention. He continued testing whether his Golden Dragon King Bloodline could absorb sunlight to improve his cultivation and asked Electrolux for help developing the ability.

• Lin Yun reminded Xiao Xiao not to add a Soul Ring to her second martial soul just to win the New Student Assessment, and she agreed.
• Ning Tian approached Lin Yun, and Zheng Xiaolong gave up his seat before leaving the tense exchange between Ning Tian and Xiao Xiao.
• Ice Empress grew chilly and restless as Ning Tian and Xiao Xiao chatted, while Lin Yun soothed her and turned to bask in the sunlight.
• Lin Yun reflected that absorbing solar essence strengthened him but improved his cultivation too slowly, so he sought a way to turn the passive ability into a cultivation technique.
• Lin Yun entered his Spirt Sea, saw Electrolux beside the Green-Gold Sun, and asked for his help.

Lin Yun asked Electrolux to help create a cultivation technique for controlling the Sun Force in his bloodline, and Electrolux agreed. Lin Yun left the Spirit Sea to find Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian unexpectedly getting along, while Electrolux continued repairing his divine sense.

• Electrolux told Lin Yun that the Life Gold had helped repair his divine sense and offered to repay the favor.
• Lin Yun told Electrolux a fabricated story about his origins and asked to work together toward becoming gods.
• Lin Yun explained that he wanted a cultivation technique to control the Sun Force in his bloodline, and Electrolux agreed to help research it.
• Lin Yun left the Spirit Sea and found Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian had become close, while Electrolux returned to absorbing life force from the Life Gold.

Lin Yun helped Electrolux map his meridians for a new cultivation technique, then arranged supplies for Ice Empress and visited Qingye. He discovered Qingye had written a novel featuring Lin Yun and many women as its protagonist, and kept the book for himself.

• Lin Yun used his Spiritual Power to map his meridians, and Electrolux took the diagram to study for a cultivation technique.
• After class, Lin Yun left with Xiao Xiao, then asked the Myriad Demon King to bring three strands of Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow from Di Tian.
• The next day, Lin Yun gave the marrow to Ice Empress, who ate one strand and departed for the Extreme North.
• Lin Yun visited Qingye and found him looking drained after devoting himself to writing.
• The Myriad Demon King presented Qingye's books, including Golden Dragon Harem, whose cover showed Lin Yun surrounded by women; Lin Yun kept it and gave the rest away.

Lin Yun learned that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had taken human form and ordered the Star Dou Great Forest to protect her from those targeting the auspicious beast. Ice Empress returned with a young royal Ice Jade Scorpion, whom Lin Yun named Qing'er, and he set off for Shrek Academy with both of them.

• Lin Yun asked Myriad Demon King about the Star Dou Great Forest and learned that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had taken human form.
• Lin Yun warned Myriad Demon King to tell Di Tian to protect the auspicious beast, who had already been targeted.
• Lin Yun waited in the courtyard for Ice Empress and enjoyed the sunlight while anticipating Electrolux's cultivation technique.
• Ice Empress brought Lin Yun a young female Ice Jade Scorpion, and Lin Yun fed it Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Lin Yun named the scorpion Qing'er, then returned to Shrek Academy with Ice Empress and Qing'er.

Lin Yun settled into Class 8 while Huo Yuhao struggled with his assignment to Class Four alongside Dai Huabin and Wang Dong. As the New Student Assessment approached, Mu Jin summoned Lin Yun, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng to discuss their teams.

• Lin Yun grew closer to Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian, while Wu Feng and Class 8's students resented his popularity with Ning Tian.
• Huo Yuhao entered Class Four with Dai Huabin, whom he hated, and trained relentlessly as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm restored and strengthened him.
• Wang Dong lost her motivation to train after Lin Yun was assigned to another class and returned to slacking off.
• Mu Jin considered how to form Class 8's assessment teams, then called Lin Yun, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng to stay after class.
• Lin Yun practiced absorbing Sun Force, reached the peak of Soul Power Level thirty-seven, and went to see Mu Jin with the others.

Mu Jin asked Lin Yun, Ning Tian, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Feng to settle their New Student Assessment teams, but Lin Yun proposed that Ning Tian and Wu Feng team up while he and Xiao Xiao found someone else. He dismissed Mu Jin’s warnings about Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, insisting he could defeat it alone.

• Mu Jin explained that the New Student Assessment was approaching and struggled to divide the four students among three-person teams.
• Wu Feng insisted on teaming with Ning Tian, while Xiao Xiao insisted on teaming with Lin Yun.
• Lin Yun suggested Ning Tian and Wu Feng form a team and said he already had another teammate in mind for himself and Xiao Xiao.
• Mu Jin warned Lin Yun that Dai Huabin, Xie Huanyue, and Zhu Lu posed a serious threat, especially because Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Lin Yun declared that he could break the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with one punch, and his confidence impressed Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.
• Wu Feng glared at Lin Yun, but his Dragon's Might frightened her into falling onto her butt.

Lin Yun rejected forming a team with Wu Feng and later recruited Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong for the New Student Assessment. As team training began, he explained his Golden Dragon abilities and proposed that his teammates adapt to his charge.

• Lin Yun declined to join Wu Feng and Ning Tian, and Mu Jin told them to form three-person teams for the New Student Assessment.
• Mu Jin announced the assessment and allowed students to change their assigned teams before submitting rosters.
• Lin Yun recruited Zheng Xiaolong with a joking offer to help save the world, and Xiao Xiao joined their team.
• Lin Yun submitted a team of himself, Xiao Xiao, and Zheng Xiaolong to Mu Jin, who accepted the roster despite Zheng Xiaolong's low Soul Power level.
• During team training, Lin Yun said his teammates should adapt to the fight while he charged ahead, then described his Level 37 Golden Dragon Martial Soul and soul skills.

Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao learned about Zheng Xiaolong’s luck-dependent Lucky Coin martial soul, which often weakened his support skills. When Zheng Xiaolong offered to leave the team because he feared holding them back, Lin Yun reaffirmed his place and encouraged him to believe in himself.

• Xiao Xiao revealed that she had Twin Martial Souls and Soul Power Level twenty-one, while Zheng Xiaolong reacted with surprise.
• Zheng Xiaolong demonstrated his Lucky Coin martial soul and explained that its support skills doubled or fell to a fifth of their strength depending on a coin toss.
• Zheng Xiaolong admitted his enhanced boosts rarely occurred and urged Lin Yun to choose a stronger teammate for the New Student Assessment.
• Lin Yun assured Zheng Xiaolong that he would become the Outer Academy’s number one support and encouraged him to trust his martial soul.
• Zheng Xiaolong thanked Lin Yun sincerely and resolved to follow him, even at the risk of his life.

Zheng Xiaolong discovered that his luck-boosting soul skills almost always achieved their full effect when he used them on Lin Yun, but not on anyone else. After Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao shared their first kiss, he hurriedly left with her, blaming his flustered thoughts on the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

• Zheng Xiaolong repeatedly activated his Lucky Coin and got a one-hundred-percent boost each time, then collapsed from drained Soul Power and celebrated his success with Lin Yun.
• Lin Yun and Zheng Xiaolong tested the soul skill thirty times and found that it nearly always boosted Lin Yun fully, while its usual poor success rate returned when Zheng Xiaolong targeted Xiao Xiao.
• Lin Yun hid behind Xiao Xiao when Zheng Xiaolong approached, then teased her about Dragon-Phoenix Harmony; when she laughed at him, he carried her into an empty room.
• Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao shared their first kiss, and Xiao Xiao admitted that she had liked him for months.
• Lin Yun pulled Xiao Xiao to her feet and hurried out of the room, while Xiao Xiao teased him for suddenly caring about skipping class.

Lin Yun struggled to suppress the Golden Dragon King Bloodline’s renewed agitation, which had worsened since he began absorbing Sun Force. Ice Empress kissed him to cool him down, then embraced him as they discussed her growing feelings; they fell asleep together.

• Lin Yun had Ice Empress freeze him until his blood and qi calmed, but holding her later caused his bloodline to flare again.
• Lin Yun tried to suppress his overheated bloodline, and Ice Empress mistook his reaction for proof that she was his favorite.
• Ice Empress kissed Lin Yun and cooled his body, while Lin Yun returned the kiss and held her close.
• Lin Yun and Ice Empress discussed whether soul beasts could have feelings and how her affection for him had developed.
• Ice Empress fell asleep in Lin Yun’s arms, and Qing'er turned off the lamp.

As the New Student Assessment approached, Lin Yun formed a team with Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong while continuing to grow stronger. Wu Feng proposed a spar between their teams, and Lin Yun agreed, leaving the group ready to head to the Soul Fighting Arena.

• Lin Yun registered for the New Student Assessment with Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong, and his cultivation reached level thirty-eight.
• Huo Yuhao focused relentlessly on cultivation and remained distant from Wang Dong, setting their relationship on a different path.
• Wu Feng invited Lin Yun's team to spar against her team, which included Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er.
• Lin Yun accepted the challenge and asked Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong whether they wanted to go to the Soul Fighting Arena.

Lin Yun defeated Wu Feng in a Soul Fighting Arena battle by exploiting the New Student Assessment rules, and she accepted his explanation that he had not cheated. The next day, the assessment began, and Lin Yun prepared to use the same loophole in the competition.

• Lin Yun, Xiao Xiao, Zheng Xiaolong, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and Nanmen Yun'er went to the Soul Fighting Arena, where Lin Yun defeated Wu Feng in under three minutes.
• Wu Feng accused Lin Yun of breaking the rules, but Lin Yun argued that his special skill was allowed, and Ning Tian agreed with him.
• Lin Yun invited the group to dinner, and Ning Tian stopped Wu Feng from demanding too much from him.
• The next day, the New Student Assessment began, with teams competing across ten matches over three days and the bottom two-thirds facing elimination.
• Lin Yun recalled the assessment rules and planned to exploit what they did not explicitly forbid.

Lin Yun accompanied the nervous Xiao Xiao into the New Student Assessment, where the other teams dreaded facing the strongest new student. After the first match, Lin Yun’s team prepared to enter the arena for its second match.

• Lin Yun reassured Xiao Xiao and encouraged her to gain combat experience, while Zheng Xiaolong teased her by calling her sister-in-law.
• Lin Yun’s team entered Assessment Area Twenty-Seven and drew lots, with Lin Yun’s team assigned to the second match.
• Huang Chutian’s team drew the first match, and Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were relieved they would not face Lin Yun.
• Wang Chunpeng’s team drew the second match against Lin Yun, leaving Wang Chunpeng distraught.
• Lin Yun watched Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo defeat their opponents, then called his team to prepare for its match.

Lin Yun’s team faced Wang Chunpeng’s team in the second assessment match, and Lin Yun’s overwhelming strength quickly left Xiao Xiao to finish the fight. Xiao Xiao defeated the two remaining opponents, securing a decisive victory for her team.

• Lin Yun’s team and Wang Chunpeng’s team entered the arena, revealing a dramatic gap in their Soul Ring strengths.
• Lin Yun struck Wang Chunpeng with Sky-Breaking Dragon Fist, knocking him unconscious and prompting the referee to catch him.
• Lin Yun stepped back and encouraged Xiao Xiao to fight Wang Chunpeng’s two remaining teammates.
• Xiao Xiao summoned her Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, while Zheng Xiaolong’s Lucky Coin gave her almost no boost.
• Xiao Xiao used Cauldron’s Quake and Cauldron’s Sway to restrain the opposing students, then defeated them and won the match.

After Lin Yun's team swept Area Twenty-Seven, the regrouped teams faced a new round of matches, and Lin Yun drew Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's team. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong entered the arena despite their fear, determined to fight.

• Huang Chutian's team and the other three remaining teams surrendered to Lin Yun's team during the next day's matches, giving Lin Yun five wins and Huang Chutian four.
• Xiao Xiao complained that the easy victories had left her without a real fight as the teams regrouped for the third day.
• Lin Yun spotted Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in the same team, along with an arrogant female student who admired Wang Dong.
• Lin Yun's team drew Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's team after winning four matches that day, leaving Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong pale with fear.
• Wang Dong resolved to fight Lin Yun, and Huo Yuhao drew courage from her defiance and remembered his goal of seeking revenge against Duke White Tiger's Mansion.

Lin Yun faced Huo Yuhao’s team in the New Student Assessment, where Huo Yuhao used Tang Sect hidden weapons and Lin Yun answered by summoning a powerful soul beast. Lin Yun froze all three opponents, leaving the referee stunned by his Beast Taming Sect’s abilities.

• Xiao Xiao greeted Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong before the teams entered the arena for their match.
• Huo Yuhao revealed Tang Sect hidden weapons and resolved to use them against Lin Yun, while Wang Dong felt an unexplained familiarity with the weapons.
• Lin Yun agreed that Huo Yuhao could use hidden weapons and then invoked his own sect’s right to use its signature technique.
• Lin Yun summoned Qing'er, a jade-green soul beast whose aura alarmed the referee and everyone watching.
• Qing'er swept the arena with jade-green light and froze Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and the agility-type girl into ice sculptures.
