Feng Yao defeated Tang San after Tang San tried to kill him with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, leaving Tang San gravely injured before Ye Lingling healed him.

After experimenting with the technique and realizing its limits, Feng Yao departed with the Imperial Dou Team following their seven-day exchange at Shrek Academy.

• Feng Yao played the zither as Tang San cultivated, observed the Mysterious Heaven Skill in Tang San’s sea of consciousness, and guided his own Soul Power along its route.

Yu Tianheng left the academy, and Dugu Yan later told Feng Yao he had applied to withdraw, setting up a possible reunion at the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

• Xue Qinghe used his authority to clear the Mimicry Training Ground, and he and Feng Yao prepared to begin their cultivation ensemble.

Feng Yao taught Xue Qinghe a cultivation technique, and the technique’s circulation caused her disguise to fade and reveal Qian Renxue.

• Emperor Xue Ye opened the tournament, and Ning Fengzhi praised an unnamed team he expected to advance and possibly win the championship.
• Salas drew the preliminary-round matchups, including Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy.
• Feng Yao discovered that Fuxi could produce ultrasound through resonance and used the returning echoes to map the arena, though Salas and Tang San both sensed something unusual.

• After Ning Fengzhi departed, Feng Yao explained his view of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s alliances and told Qian Renxue that schemes could not replace absolute strength.

Feng Yao adapted Tang San’s techniques to his zither and warned the Imperial Dou Team about Shrek’s powerful members. During a night of shared cultivation, his and Qian Renxue’s powers resonated, leaving them flustered and wondering what their connection meant; the next morning, they met again at the Great Soul Arena before a match.
