• Quan Yi explained that Thunder's fighter used lightning's paralysis to numb his own pain, while Wang Xing stood safely beyond the attack's range.

Wang Xing defeated three Thunder Academy Soul Elders by adapting to their paralysis-assisted charges, then withdrew before facing their Soul Ancestors. Ling Yun began a duel with Thunder Team’s fourth fighter and pierced his opponent’s abdomen with a blazing-white ray.

• Wang Xing defeated the first Thunder Academy student, whose paralysis had let him endure the fight, and absorbed Fire Element from him.

Huo Yu then entered the arena to face Lei Tian, and the two Flying-type Soul Masters merged with their enormous Thunder Eagle and Fire Crane forms as their duel began.

• Lei Tian transformed into a huge Thunder Eagle and locked onto Huo Yu, who answered with his fourth Soul Skill and merged into a giant Fire Crane.

Huo Yu defeated Lei Tian by unleashing his self-created soul skill, Crane Feather Storm, and displayed his power before the tournament spectators. Lei Tian was left unharmed but exhausted, while Huo Yu stood victorious in the arena.

• Huo Yu’s Flame Long Crane outmatched Lei Tian’s Thunder Eagle, and its first strike nearly split Lei Tian’s true body open.
• Lei Tian repaired the wound with Thunder and circled the arena, building a storm as he searched for an opening to attack.

• Huo Yu stood alone in the arena as Huo Yun complained that his twin brother did not know how to keep a low profile.

Huo Yu exhausted his Soul Power after demonstrating Crane Feather Storm, and Huo Yun took his place against Lei Dong. Huo Yun revealed a new wing-blade technique that destroyed Lei Dong’s thunder net and struck all eight of his spider legs.

• Quan Yi and Feng Xiaotian recognized that Crane Feather Storm combined Huo Yu and Huo Yun’s wing-blade techniques with ideas from Feng Xiaotian’s Gale Demon Wolf Consecutive Slashes.

• Huo Yu praised Huo Yun’s blade technique, while Thunder Academy realized Huo Yun had likely withdrawn to preserve Yu Tianxin for the next fight.
• Huo Wushuang approached, and Yu Tianxin’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul responded with fury to his aura.

Yu Tianxin and Huo Wushuang faced off as their dragon-type Martial Souls clashed, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's bloodline pressure awakened a new resonance between Huo Wushuang and his Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon. The chapter ended with Huo Wushuang displaying what Quan Yi recognized as Partial Dragon Transformation.

• Yu Tianxin entered the arena to challenge Huo Wushuang, despite being five Soul Power levels weaker.

• Quan Yi identified Huo Wushuang's transformation as Partial Dragon Transformation, while Yu Tianxin realized it matched the true Dragon Transformation of his own arms.

Huo Wushuang’s Dragon Transformation awakened tyrannical power that let him overpower Yu Tianxin, despite the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon’s superior bloodline. Yu Tianxin broke free with Thunder God’s Wrath and prepared his strongest attack as the watching crowd stood in alarm.

• Huo Wushuang let Yu Tianxin finish charging his attack and gathered his tyrannical intent under his control.
• Huo Wushuang warned Yu Tianxin not to die as Yu Tianxin fired Blue Lightning Dragon God Rush at him.

• Huo Wushuang, recovered after sleeping through the afternoon, met Quan Yi that night to ask about the change inside his core.

• Quan Yi told Huo Wushuang that the wheel should sustain his cultivation until level 70, after which Tyrannical Power would no longer burden him.

Quan Yi explained how Huo Wushuang could purify the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon's bloodline and warned him to absorb only Dragon Race Soul Rings and Spirit Bones. As Blazing Fire Academy prepared to face Skywater Academy, Quan Yi hinted that the team’s confidence could lead to trouble.

• Quan Yi told Huo Wushuang that absorbing his seal could strengthen the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon’s bloodline and potentially transform it into a top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul.
• Quan Yi advised Huo Wushuang to absorb only Soul Rings and Spirit Bones from Soul Beasts with Dragon Race Bloodline, and Huo Wushuang realized his first four Soul Rings might have helped awaken Dragon Transformation.

• Quan Yi warned the team that their confident mindset could lead to a serious defeat, but he refused to explain further.
