Six years passed as Di Hong monitored Tang San and Spirit Hall’s rise, then sent Di Yuan to train in the City of Slaughter. Di Yuan prepared to leave with Di Hong secretly promising to protect him, while Qian Renxue felt unexpected concern.

• Over six years, Tang San became Yu Xiaogang’s student and grew close to Xiao Wu, while Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng got together and Spirit Hall grew more powerful.
• Di Hong reviewed intelligence with Dugu Bo and learned that Tang San and Xiao Wu were heading to Shrek Academy, while Ning Rongrong had left home for it as well.
• Di Hong ordered Di Yuan to train in the City of Slaughter so he could obtain Divine Slaughter’s Domain and pursue inheritance of the Asura God.
• Di Yuan told Xue Qinghe he was going to the City of Slaughter, and Qian Renxue felt worried but did not stop him.
• Tang Yuehua objected to Di Yuan’s departure, but Di Hong promised to protect him personally from the shadows.

Di Hong escorted Di Yuan to the City of Slaughter, where the King of Slaughter chose not to interfere with the God of Slaughter’s son. A year later, Flender’s group arrived at the expanded Silvis City, where the Shrek students marveled at its size.

• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had joined Shrek Academy after fleeing the brutal succession struggle in the Star Luo Empire.
• The King of Slaughter told the Slaughter Messenger to leave Di Yuan alone, warning that Di Hong was too powerful to provoke.

• Flender and the Shrek group arrived in Silvis City, and the students were astonished by its expanded, imposing appearance.

The Shrek group entered prosperous Silvis City and learned about the Silves Kingdom’s reforms and its Titled Douluo, Di Hong, before registering for spirit battles. At the Great Soul Arena, Di Ming arrived and sent a subordinate to find out whether any exciting battles were scheduled.

• Yu Xiaogang and Flender explained that Silvis City had expanded and that the Silves Kingdom’s reforms had strengthened the country and weakened Spirit Hall’s influence.

• Di Ming arrived at the arena, where people avoided him, and ordered his subordinate to ask what battles were scheduled.

Di Ming watched the Shrek Seven Devils instantly kill the Fierce God Team with Godly Zhuge Crossbows, then summoned Flender and Yu Xiaogang to ask about the weapons. He learned that a Shrek Academy student had developed them.

After leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Shrek group joined Blue Tyrant Academy, where Dugu Bo abducted Tang San. Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender searched for Dugu Bo, but the academy’s education committee hesitated to reveal where he lived.

• Di Yuan claimed his seventieth victory and burned another drawing he was dissatisfied with.

• Dugu Bo knocked Tang San unconscious in the academy forest and carried him away.
• Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for Dugu Bo’s whereabouts, but Meng Shenji and the other education committee members hesitated to tell them.

After learning that Dugu Bo served the Vermilion Bird Douluo, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong headed to Sunset Forest to find him. Dugu Bo interrogated Tang San about his poison and shattered Tang San’s Eight Spider Lance Spirit Bone, leaving him badly injured and unable to stand.

• Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin told Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong that Dugu Bo served the Vermilion Bird Douluo and lived in Sunset Forest.

• Tang San woke in Dugu Bo’s courtyard and calmly gathered his Soul Power as Dugu Bo questioned him about defeating Dugu Yan and neutralizing her venom.
• Tang San insulted Dugu Bo’s poison, and Dugu Bo hurled him into a wall before demanding to know what skill he had.
• Tang San used Blue Silver Grass and his Eight Spider Lance Spirit Bone to block Dugu Bo’s attack, but Dugu Bo recognized the External Soul Bone and dismissed Tang San’s Binding skill.
• Dugu Bo grabbed Tang San by the throat and shattered his Eight Spider Lance Spirit Bone, then examined a fragment and lamented that it had fused with Tang San’s body.

Tang San accepted Dugu Bo’s challenge to neutralize the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison by dawn, then discovered a mysterious wall of fire beyond the Herb Garden. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong searched Sunset Forest for Tang San, with Yu Xiaogang fearing Dugu Bo would kill him.

• Dugu Bo brought the injured Tang San to his Herb Garden and offered to spare him if he neutralized the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison before dawn.

• Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong followed Luo Sanpao through Sunset Forest in search of Tang San.
• Yu Xiaogang told Flender and Liu Erlong that Dugu Bo had likely taken Tang San for his poison skills and would not spare his life.

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong hurried to Di Hong's fief in Sunset Forest to find Tang San, while Tang San struggled to survive the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison in Dugu Bo's Herb Garden. Dugu Bo confronted the trio and their battle began when they summoned a trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• Yu Xiaogang asked Liu Erlong to lead them to Di Hong's fief, hoping to find Tang San and resolve the conflict with Dugu Bo.
• Tang San used medicines to delay the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison, but he still could not cross the Fire Wall to reach the herbs that might save him.

• Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang formed a triangular formation and used their trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, transforming Three-Eyed Demon Fox into a Golden Dragon.

• Dugu Bo transformed into a Jade Green Giant Serpent and fought Yu Xiaogang's Golden Sacred Dragon, whose flight and agility initially put him under pressure.
• Tang San saw that his teacher could not defeat Dugu Bo and decided to gamble on finding a cure for the poison beyond the Fire Wall.
• Dugu Bo used his Dan Pearl and Medusa's Gaze against the Golden Sacred Dragon, but the three soul masters answered with Sacred Dragon True Form.
• Dugu Bo froze the battle with Time Stasis, fused his Dan Pearl into the dragon phantom, and shattered the trio's protective light.
• Dugu Bo sent Yu Xiaogang and the others flying, leaving all three injured and out of Soul Power.

Dugu Bo defeated Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender, but learned that Tang San might be Tang Hao’s son and possess Twin Martial Souls. Worried about how Tang San’s death would affect Di Hong’s plans and his relationship with Tang Yuehua, Dugu Bo hurried to check on him.

• Dugu Bo broke the Golden Dragon Martial Soul Fusion Skill and prepared to kill Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender.

• Yu Xiaogang revealed that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls, and Dugu Bo rushed to the Herb Garden to see whether he had survived the poison.

As the academies prepared for the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, Tang San recovered and trained while his shattered External Soul Bone healed.

Di Yuan emerged from Hell Road with Divine Slaughter's Domain, and Di Hong revealed that it could lead to the Asura God’s inheritance. After returning to Heaven Dou City before the Soul Master Elite Competition, Di Hong considered giving Tang San the Snowy Swan Kiss to help him destroy the City of Slaughter and free Tang Chen.

• Di Hong considered giving Tang San the Snowy Swan Kiss so he could destroy the City of Slaughter and release Tang Chen.

Di Yuan learned that Tang Hao’s son, Tang San, was competing with Shrek Academy and agreed to meet him with Xue Qinghe after the opening-day matches. As they waited at a teahouse, Shrek Academy easily defeated Heaven Dou’s second team, though Tang San and Xiao Wu had not yet reached Level 40.

Di Yuan told Tang Yuehua that Tang San was in Heaven Dou City, while Tang San suspected Dugu Bo was guarding the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Di Yuan refused to tell Tang San more about his parents, and Tang San declined Xue Qinghe’s invitation to lunch before accepting his personal token.

• Elephant Armor Academy advanced behind its Bronze Wall Iron Barrier, and Hu Yan Li broke free of Tang San’s attempt to bind him.
• Tang San bound his own teammates so Oscar could carry them skyward with a Flying Mushroom Sausage, while Ma Hongjun flew up using Phoenix Wing Sky Soar.

• Di Yuan explained to Xue Qinghe that Oscar’s Flying Mushroom Sausage let Tang San carry Shrek Academy’s team into the air and exploit Elephant Armor Academy’s lack of speed and flight.
