• Liu Xiaoxiao used the Assimilation Array with Demon Devour to absorb the Wing-tailed Bear King’s Soul Power and Life Force, advancing from level 74 to level 75 as his wings and tail evolved.
• He Qiang explained that Liu Xiaoxiao’s Demon Transformation had evolved into Dragon Tiger Transformation and that Demon Devour could now refine absorbed Soul Power into his own.

• Elder Xuan confronted Tu Tian, while Liu Xiaoxiao told Elder Xuan that the group could handle Zhang Peng and transformed to face him.
• Zhang Peng released his Twelve Beast Envoys, and Little Fatty summoned an Emerald Demon Bird from his enlarged grimoire to attack one of them.

Chen Fang, Liu Xiaoxiao, Da Bao, and their allies forced Zhang Peng and Tu Tian to retreat before Zhongli Wu arrived and discussed targeting Shrek’s young geniuses in the next tournament. Back at Shrek Academy, the students were admitted to the inner courtyard and Xuan Zi brought them to a hidden hall beneath the Sea God Pavilion.

• Chen Fang slowed Zhang Peng and the beast souls while Da Bao and Liu Xiaoxiao attacked, and Zheng Bei enhanced their allies as they fought Tu Tian and the Demonic Douluo.
• Liu Xiaoxiao and Da Bao used their Evil God White Tiger fusion skill against Zhang Peng, who escaped its finishing blow with Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell and prepared a desperate counterattack.

Zheng Bei secretly guarded Huo Yuhao at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and later protected him while he absorbed a spirit ring in the Jingyang Mountain Range. A masked Level 98-or-stronger attacker tried to kill Huo Yuhao, but He Qiang and Mu En arrived; the attacker escaped after clashing with Mu En.

• Zheng Bei followed Yan Shaozhe's group to Maple Leaf City under Eternal Armor's concealment, then secretly accompanied Huo Yuhao to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Zheng Bei watched over Huo Yuhao as he studied with Xuan Ziwen and later traveled with Ju Zi and Ke Ke to the Jingyang Mountain Range, where Huo Yuhao killed the Silver Moon Wolf King and began absorbing his Fourth Spirit Ring.
• Zheng Bei detected a masked attacker approaching Huo Yuhao and used the Invincible Shield to block the man's Coiling Dragon Staff while Huo Yuhao continued absorbing his spirit ring.
• He Qiang and Mu En arrived through Zheng Bei's Teleportation Array, and Mu En transformed into a white dragon to fight the attacker, who revealed a black dragon Martial Soul.
• He Qiang struck at the attacker with Spiritual Power as Zheng Bei enhanced Mu En, and Mu En's Fire Dragon Sword blasted the black dragon away before the injured attacker escaped through a Space Rift.

After Huo Yuhao recovered from the assassination attempt and entered Ming De Hall, Zheng Bei secretly studied its Soul Tool research and copied valuable designs. Meanwhile, He Qiang and Shrek Academy helped Tang Sect build an underground factory, setting the sect on a rapid path of expansion.

• He Qiang and Zheng Bei concluded that the disguised attacker was a powerful Soul Master loyal to Lin Bo or the person Lin Bo supported, while Mu En and He Qiang stayed to guard Huo Yuhao.
• Lin Bo recovered in the imperial palace and planned to obtain the Silver Dragon Pill and Qiankun Creation Pill before pursuing his breakthrough.
• Huo Yuhao woke, rescued Ju Zi and Ke Ke, recovered from his injuries, and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, where the royal inspection squad seized him without revealing any clues about Lin Bo.
• Huo Yuhao entered Ming De Hall with Xuan Ziwen, while Zheng Bei secretly examined its Soul Engineers and copied research and blueprints for powerful Soul Tools.
• He Qiang brought Huo Yuhao's blueprints and new Soul Engineer concepts to Shrek Academy, which agreed to finance Tang Sect's underground factory in exchange for a forty-nine percent share of its profits.
• Xuan Zi excavated the factory's cavern, and Shrek Academy and Tang Sect rapidly built its infrastructure, gathered materials, and began expanding production and training facilities.

After discovering his path in time and space, Liu Xiaoxiao entered the Seventh Trial and used his time abilities to help the Dou Ling Empire escape pursuit by the Heaven Dou Empire. He was sent to Wu Yun City for a new mission, where he learned the Dou Ling forces faced an overwhelmingly stronger army.

• Liu Xiaoxiao emerged from 101 days of seclusion with improved Spiritual Power and Purple Demon Eyes, and realized his path was the fusion of time and space.
• The Seventh Trial transported Liu Xiaoxiao to a battle between the Heaven Dou and Dou Ling Empires and tasked him with helping the Dou Ling imperial family escape pursuit without using Soul Tools.

• Liu Xiaoxiao arrived atop Wu Yun City's walls for a new mission to help the Dou Ling Empire defend the city, then met Golden Crocodile Douluo and Duke Tianhe.
• Duke Tianhe and the other Dou Ling leaders explained that Wu Yun City faced a Heaven Dou army of more than three hundred thousand soldiers, at least ten thousand Soul Masters, and over ten Title Douluo.

Liu Xiaoxiao gathered intelligence in the Dou Ling Empire and then used his time-based abilities to turn the aerial battle against the Heaven Dou Empire. The enemy’s Title Douluo withdrew, leaving the battle without a decisive victor and Liu Xiaoxiao drained of Soul Power.

• Liu Xiaoxiao learned that Fei Yuanfeng was a rank-93 Feng Xing Douluo fighting by personal choice and that the Heaven Dou Empire was believed to have only two Super Douluo.
• As the armies approached, Liu Xiaoxiao sensed that the Heaven Dou Empire had a third Super Douluo, Dark Gold Douluo, whose Martial Soul was a Dark Gold Bear.
• Liu Xiaoxiao slowed the enemy Title Douluo with his domains and used Time Decay to frighten Mad Lion Douluo into fleeing.
• When Dark Gold Douluo charged Liu Xiaoxiao, Liu Xiaoxiao reversed his movement and made him vanish temporarily, while his control let Golden Crocodile Douluo and Fei Yuanfeng severely injure Spirit Rhinoceros Douluo.
• Spirit Rhinoceros Douluo and Dark Gold Douluo reappeared and withdrew with the other Heaven Dou Empire Title Douluo, while Liu Xiaoxiao used a Soul Restoration Pill after exhausting his Soul Power.

• He Qiang told Liu Xiaoxiao that he would oversee the group’s cultivation and explained that Liu Xiaoxiao could begin condensing a Soul Core.
• He Qiang gave Liu Xiaoxiao Soul Core Condensing Pills and Soul Core Fusion Pills, then identified simultaneous Twin Martial Soul use, three thousand hammerings, and True Body Possession as his next goals.
• Liu Xiaoxiao manifested his gray-furred beast Martial Soul and the Time Fleeting Bell, then began practicing simultaneous control under He Qiang’s guidance.
• After half a month, Liu Xiaoxiao could barely use both Martial Souls at once and condensed a Time Soul Core in his chest.
• Liu Xiaoxiao’s cultivation rose to Rank 79, and he entered the Unity of Heaven and Man realm as his recovery and cultivation speed increased.
• After another half month, Liu Xiaoxiao could use the soul skills of both Martial Souls simultaneously, completing his first stage of cultivation.

He Qiang trained Liu Xiaoxiao in Three Thousand Tempering, evolving his third through sixth spirit abilities and teaching him to attempt True Body Possession. Liu Xiaoxiao began refining the technique, but his body still expanded as he merged the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's power.

• He Qiang taught Liu Xiaoxiao to use each spirit ability three thousand times to evolve it, and Liu Xiaoxiao began practicing Hurricane Evil Arrow.
• Liu Xiaoxiao tempered Hurricane Evil Arrow and Dark Demon Evil God Thunder until both spirit rings turned dark gold, gaining stronger, more efficient attacks.
• Liu Xiaoxiao evolved Darkness Burst so it could strike through the air, then tempered Dark Demon Charge until he could pass through stone and unleash a much stronger attack.
• He Qiang explained True Body Possession, and Liu Xiaoxiao began merging the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger phantom's power into his body without changing his form.
• Liu Xiaoxiao completed the fusion, but his body expanded several times over, so He Qiang told him to keep practicing until he could use all his Soul Power without expanding.

After completing True Body Possession and evolving his Seventh Soul Ring, Liu Xiaoxiao joined a Shrek Observer mission to investigate the massacre at the Ruidu Chamber of Commerce in Ling Dou City. The group learned that the stolen goods included Divine Artifacts, and He Qiang’s investigation pointed them toward Tian He Province.

• Liu Xiaoxiao received notice of an Observer mission, and He Qiang explained that the ten-person team would investigate a massacre and discreetly assess the Sun Moon Academy students joining them.
• The team traveled to Ling Dou City, where He Qiang presented the Observers’ credentials and Vice President Meng Xiang welcomed them into the Ruidu Chamber of Commerce.
• He Qiang detected no Evil Soul Master aura at the scene, and Meng Xiang secretly revealed that the stolen treasures were Divine Artifacts.
• After the group found no clues at the chamber, He Qiang used the Heavenly Machine Eye to investigate further and identified Tian He Province as the location to pursue.
• Liu Xiaoxiao and the team left Ling Dou City with the Sun Moon Academy students and flew toward Tian He Province.

Liu Xiaoxiao and the others ambushed a group of Soul Engineers, then he received the God of Time’s eighth trial to assassinate Xue Leng and Xue Kui.

• Kong Fang silently killed two Soul Emperor guards, and He Qiang scouted a cave where Soul Engineers were conducting an underground deal.
• Liu Xiaoxiao and the others ambushed the cave’s occupants; Da Bao killed four Soul Sages while Liu Xiaoxiao drained the Rank 9 Soul Engineer who led them.
• The group identified the dead as members of a Thieves' Guild under the Ao Du Chamber of Commerce, but He Qiang could not track the traded goods.
• Liu Xiaoxiao received the Time Eighth Trial to assassinate Xue Leng and Xue Kui, then flew to Tianhe Duke's Residence while the others returned to Shrek Academy.
• Liu Xiaoxiao killed Xue Kui, Xue Leng, and the former Duke Tianhe’s wife, but the trial did not end; two Title Douluo sensed the deaths and rushed toward him.

He returned to Shrek Academy, where He Qiang identified the artifacts and claimed the Dragon Slaying Saber, while the other two were reserved for Zhang Shiwen and Li Hong.

As Heaven Dou’s army gained the upper hand, an Evil Soul Master Title Douluo and Rank 8 Soul Engineer appeared, drawing Liu Xiaoxiao into battle.

• Silver Wolf Douluo tracked their spatial coordinates and pursued them.

Liu Xiaoxiao and four Star Luo Title Douluo confronted the pursuing Silver Wolf Douluo, using hidden weapons, Soul Tool Cannons, and Liu Xiaoxiao’s time abilities to weaken him.
