• Ye Bai took Shark Hunter to request Laboratory 442's surveillance footage, where he identified the monitoring-room staff as Gospel Association members through their Gray Mist.
• A disguised staff member bound Ye Bai and Shark Hunter with sludge, and they allowed the Mud Monster to capture them so they could be taken to the hostages.
• The Security Captain ordered Ye Bai and Shark Hunter sent to the warehouse, noting Ye Bai's competition results made him a valuable bargaining chip for securing Star Sage's release.

• The Sunflower Emperor secretly hid the Space Stone and Space Crystal Stone, while Poison Dove planned to escape through the Underground Waterway with the hostages.

• Poison Dove revealed that his Sky Swallowing Toad had swallowed the crystal stone and that he had deliberately lured President Zhang into its body, where the darkness trapped them.
• A beam of intense light appeared just as Poison Dove prepared to leave the trapped Guild members to be digested.

Ye Bai and President Zhang turned the Sky Swallowing Toad’s trap against Poison Dove Priest, while the Sunflower Emperor slowed the toad’s regeneration from within. Ye Bai fought Priest outside as the trapped guild members gained a chance to escape, leaving the toad’s fate and Zhang Jian’s survival unresolved.

• The Sunflower Emperor’s Doppelgangers used Holy Light Illumination inside the Sky Swallowing Toad, blinding Poison Dove and revealing that Priest had planned to sacrifice the Gospel Association members.

• The Mud Monster King’s Petrifying Ray began turning the Sky Swallowing Toad to stone, while the Sunflower Emperor continued devouring it and the trapped members swore to share Gospel Association intelligence if they escaped.

Ye Bai helped defeat the Gospel Association’s assault, then learned that Gao Tu had arranged a public challenge by spreading the false claim that Ye Bai wanted to fight him. After Li Chen urged him to defend their school, Ye Bai accepted Gao Tu’s challenge at the Military Academy, where the battle began.

Ye Bai’s Myriad Changes Silkworm withstood Gao Tu’s Gale Sparrow’s powerful attacks during their battle. Gao Tu realized Ye Bai had not even needed to give his Pet Beast a command, and the fight remained underway.

• Gao Tu sent the Gale Sparrow’s Wind Blades after the Myriad Changes Silkworm, which broke through them while Ye Bai refused to surrender.
• Gao Tu trapped the Myriad Changes Silkworm in a Gale Formation and unleashed Gale Burial, but its attacks shattered against the Silkworm’s defenses.
• Gao Tu ordered the Gale Sparrow to use Sharp Beak Drill, yet the Silkworm endured the storm-powered attack without being harmed.
• The crowd reacted as the Gale Sparrow spun atop the Myriad Changes Silkworm’s head, and Gao Tu realized Ye Bai had left the battle entirely to his Pet Beast.

Ye Bai defeated Gao Tu’s Gale Sparrow with the Myriad Changes Silkworm, then gained wealthy clients by offering to breed their Pet Beasts. Gao Tu’s Big Snowball battled Ye Bai’s Little Charcoal Dog, and the match ended unresolved after Big Snowball was badly burned; Gao Tu planned to return with a third Pet Beast.

• The Myriad Changes Silkworm bound Gao Tu’s Gale Sparrow with Silk Thread and knocked it out with Iron Head.

• Ye Bai suggested suspending the match before either Pet Beast was destroyed, and Gao Tu agreed to return after contracting a third Pet Beast.

After the provincial competition, Ye Bai refined his Diamond Butterfly research paper with Zhang Lingxue and shared Sky Swallowing Toad meat with her.

• Ye Bai wondered whether to sell or rent out his Breeding House before moving to the Imperial Capital after the College Entrance Examination.

Ye Bai prepared to sell the land used for his Breeding House and uncovered a hidden Snake-tailed Chicken population on Sacred Mountain Middle School’s back mountain. At Zhang Lingxue’s inspection, he identified Lin Musen as a spy trying to record her research, while Lin Musen challenged her findings about Positive Charge Rabbits.

• Ye Bai told Zhang Lingxue he planned to sell the Breeding House land, and she agreed to discuss the sale with Principal Liu.
• Ye Bai sent the Sunflower Emperor’s Doppelgangers to the school’s back mountain, where they captured Snake-tailed Chickens and exposed tunnels containing a whole population.
• Sacred Mountain Middle School investigated the tunnels and moved the Snake-tailed Chickens into a small Secret Realm to raise them as rare ingredients.
• Ye Bai’s Information System warned him that a small-mustached inspection team member was colluding with Sakura Country and recording Zhang Lingxue’s research; it also revealed the College Entrance Examination’s Strange Beast combat format.
• Ye Bai spotted the watch camera on Lin Musen, the Western Research Institute representative, and confirmed the Laboratory’s signal shielding was blocking its transmission.
• Zhang Lingxue presented her discovery of Positive Charge Rabbits, and Lin Musen challenged her findings because they contradicted his research and the Western Research Institute’s strategy.

Ye Bai helped Zhang Lingxue expose Lin Musen’s attempt to steal confidential research, then evolved his Flood Dragon Spirit into a True Dragon Spirit using the Blood Pool. Afterward, Li Chen and Gao Tu arrived seeking help with their Pet Beasts, and Ye Bai offered them a chance to earn the approval of two animals at his institute.

• Zhang Lingxue showed the visitors her calm Positive Charge Rabbits and explained that pairing them with Negative Charge Rabbits improved their temperament and reproduction while her research solved the Negative Charge Rabbit’s Self-Destruct problem.
• The Pet Beast Guild arrested Lin Musen after a pinhole camera revealed he had filmed Zhang Lingxue’s confidential research, and Ye Bai recommended sending false intelligence through the camera to trace its connection.
• After Zhang Lingxue departed, Ye Bai used True Dragon Blood, a Dragon Pearl, seven Dragon Slaying Swords, and the Bronze Sword to evolve his Flood Dragon Spirit into a Fifth Order True Dragon Spirit called True Dragon Sword.
• The True Dragon Spirit sealed itself after its evolution, leaving Ye Bai unable to control it fully until he reached at least Fourth Order.
• Li Chen and Gao Tu arrived together to ask Ye Bai to cultivate their Pet Beasts, and Ye Bai told them they could take the Little Snow Dog or Little Charcoal Dog if they earned its approval.

Ye Bai took over Anbaotang, received a Tier 7 Unconditional Love treasure after an elderly couple died together, and helped Myriad Changes Silkworm advance to Fourth Order. With another contract slot available, he was left deciding between Sunflower Emperor and Space Pelican.

• Blood Saint Son ordered Red Knight and Black Knight to find Grave Whip and lure Ye Bai to Tianhe City so he could unleash an Undead Calamity and kill Ye Bai himself.

• Ye Bai gained another advancement slot but remained unsure whether to contract Sunflower Emperor or Space Pelican.

Ye Bai contracted the Sunflower Emperor, then went to investigate Purple Jade Mushrooms near Five Finger Stone and discovered the Gospel Association had set a trap for him. Surrounded by Ironclad Barbarian Snakes and pursued as he fled on the Space Pelican, he sent Sunflower Emperor Doppelgangers to carry a warning to President Zhang.

• Ye Bai used his fourth Contract Slot to form a contract with the Sunflower Emperor and inherited Holy Light Illumination.
• Ye Bai reviewed intelligence about the Ancient Ancestral House, the Grave Whips, and other threats, while President Wang searched for the missing Fang Ri Tu.
• Ye Bai visited Five Finger Stone to investigate Purple Jade Mushrooms, where the Space Pelican delivered a Divine Blood Stone and a swarm of Ironclad Barbarian Snakes emerged from the ground.
• Shark Hunter fought the snakes as Ye Bai escaped on the Space Pelican, and a Gospel Association member revealed that they planned to imprison Ye Bai and Fang Ri Tu and turn them into puppets for the Sacrificial Spirit.
• The Space Pelican dodged the pursuing snakes while the Sunflower Emperor attacked them and sent Doppelgangers beyond Five Finger Stone to use Ye Bai's phone to contact President Zhang.

Ye Bai was forced into the Ancient Ancestral House, where he found Fang Ri Tu trapped and learned the residence filled with dangerous Ghost Element beasts at night. As the Gospel Association revealed its plot to sacrifice Ye Bai and turn Fang Ri Tu into a Corpse Puppet, Ye Bai heard a girl's plea for help in the courtyard.

• The Gospel Association drove Ye Bai toward the Ancient Ancestral House, but a Spatial Ripple transported him inside before he could land.
• Fang Ri Tu mistook Ye Bai for an intruder and struck the Myriad Changes Silkworm, then apologized and ate the food Ye Bai shared.

• Ye Bai recognized the courtyard's willow trees as Yin Yang Willows and began gathering leaves and locust blossoms to eat.
• Ye Bai heard a young girl whisper for help, but when he turned around, only Fang Ri Tu was there.

Ye Bai used the Sunflower Emperor to prepare food for Fang Ri Tu, whose strength depended on eating, while they remained trapped by the Gospel Association’s scheme. At Five Finger Stone, Shark Hunter followed Ye Bai’s trail to an ancient courtyard and decided to enter the Ancestral House.

• Fang Ri Tu explained that delicious food increased her strength and that the Gospel Association had targeted her hunger to weaken her.
• Ye Bai and the Sunflower Emperor gathered willow branches, made cooking utensils, and prepared cold Willow Leaf Sprouts and steamed locust blossoms.
• Fang Ri Tu savored the Willow Leaf Sprouts and felt reassured that Ye Bai’s cooking would help them fight their way out.
• At Five Finger Stone, Shark Hunter’s Gun Shark neared its limit as Ironclad Barbarian Snakes drove her toward an ancient courtyard.
• Shark Hunter realized the enemy was trying to force her inside, but entered because Ye Bai was there.
• The Dark Shadow controlling the Ironclad Barbarian Snakes grew anxious when Shark Hunter stopped at the Ancestral House.

Shark Hunter was forced into the Ancestral House, where she found Ye Bai and Fang Ri Tu roasting chicken while Steelclad Python attacked. Fang Ri Tu killed the python, and as Sunflower Emperor absorbed it, Ye Bai heard a voice beneath the courtyard asking for a Crystal Core.

• Shark Hunter dragged Steelclad Python into the Ancestral House after it struck her with its Steel Tail.
• The Gospel Association members stayed outside, believing the trapped group would starve and Fang Ri Tu would die.
• Shark Hunter followed the smell of roast chicken and found Ye Bai and Fang Ri Tu eating, then Steelclad Python struck her down.
• Fang Ri Tu rose and smashed Steelclad Python to death with her expanding hammer.
• Sunflower Emperor absorbed Steelclad Python's flesh and blood and took its Crystal Core, weakening its contractor.
• Ye Bai heard a voice pleading for a Crystal Core as Gray Mist rose from beneath the courtyard's Bluestone slabs.
