• Yan Shaozhe greeted Long Xiaoyao, who said he had come after learning that Mu En was near death and admitted he did not dare face his old friend.

Long Xiaoyao confronted the Shrek elders and demanded Huo Yuhao’s ring, saying he owed a debt and had to serve another. He offered to leave if Yan Shaozhe could withstand three moves, and after Yan was forced back by the first, Elder Xuan stepped forward to face the next attack.

• Long Xiaoyao revealed himself as a Limit Douluo and demanded the ring, while Elder Xuan and the others prepared to resist him.
• Long Xiaoyao said he would spare their lives for Mu En’s sake but insisted on taking the ring because he had been entrusted with a task.

• Huo Yuhao told Long Xiaoyao to prepare for his attack, while Zhang Peng laughed and Elder Xuan led the others back.

Huo Yuhao asked the others to retreat far away before preparing a full-force attack against Long Xiaoyao. He combined Reign Over The World, Divine Slaughter's Domain, and an imitation of Xuan Zi's True Body Weaponization, leaving Long Xiaoyao astonished by the Soul King's growing power.

• Huo Yuhao repeatedly ordered Qian Duoduo, Xuan Zi, and the others to move farther away until they were ten thousand meters from him and Long Xiaoyao.
• Long Xiaoyao recognized Huo Yuhao's Unity of Heaven and Man and saw his Mental Power condense into a golden aura.
• Huo Yuhao released immense killing intent that Long Xiaoyao identified as Divine Slaughter's Domain, then cut his neck with a Paper Blade and drew out his blood and vitality.
• Huo Yuhao's Blood Flame and killing aura surged as he merged his Soul Power, Mental Power, and killing intent into a weapon-like force.
• Long Xiaoyao realized Huo Yuhao had imitated the shape of Xuan Zi's True Body Weaponization after seeing it once, and judged that Huo Yuhao's attack could threaten even a Titled Douluo.

Huo Yuhao condensed three Soul Cores into a God Conferring Platform and hurled it at Long Xiaoyao, forcing the Limit Douluo to activate his Martial Soul Avatar.

• Huo Yuhao warned the others to get farther away, and the God Conferring Platform erupted with a soundwave that deafened Xuan Zi and injured Huo Yuhao and He Caitou.
• Xuan Zi and the other Super Douluo activated their Martial Soul Avatars to withstand the soundwave and protect He Caitou as an invisible force tore through the surroundings.

Huo Yuhao unleashed an experimental attack that tore open space and nearly killed him, but Long Xiaoyao survived and rescued Zhang Peng. Long Xiaoyao confronted Huo Yuhao and asked whether Mu En had known about his ability.

• Huo Yuhao trapped three Soul Cores together on the God Conferring Platform, causing an explosion powerful enough to tear space and devastate the surrounding area.

• Long Xiaoyao acknowledged Huo Yuhao's strength, gave him the promised item, and flew away after saying they would meet again when Mu En died.
• The Shrek Academy powerhouses watched Long Xiaoyao depart, while Qian Duoduo realized Huo Yuhao had learned about Soul Cores from him during their exchange study.

• Huo Yuhao recalled seeing a Thread of Fate linking Long Xiaoyao to Yan Shaozhe and planned to ask the Three-Eyed Golden Lion what it meant.

Huo Yuhao returned to Shrek Academy and learned that Mu En’s health had deteriorated severely. The chapter left him beside his dying teacher in Sea God Pavilion, his eyes reddened with worry.

Huo Yuhao recounted his two-and-a-half-year journey to Mu En, who warned him that war was approaching and urged him to keep growing. Huo Yuhao gave Mu En a God Eater pill, which eased his suffering and began healing his long-damaged body.

• Huo Yuhao told Mu En about his experiences over the past two and a half years, including his time in the Undead Demiplane.
• Mu En warned that the Holy Spirit Cult and Sun Moon Empire’s plans would bring war after his death, and told Huo Yuhao to discuss acquiring Rare Metals with Duo Duo and the others.

• Huo Yuhao showed Mu En his other saved treasures, reassuring him that the pill would not be his last.
• Mu En swallowed the God Eater, and its Life Power rapidly healed old wounds and eased his pain.

Huo Yuhao tried God Eater on Mu En but learned that neither medicine nor resurrection could repair Mu En’s failing body and soul. He grasped for a way to reverse time, but Qian Daoliu explained that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s ability could not restore the soul, leaving Mu En with perhaps a month to live.

• Huo Yuhao used God Eater to ease Mu En’s suffering, but it could only prolong his life briefly.
• Electrolux told Huo Yuhao that Mu En’s body and soul were too damaged to heal and estimated he had a month or less left.
• Huo Yuhao asked Electrolux whether they could reverse time to restore Mu En’s soul, but Electrolux could not do so.
• Qian Daoliu explained that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s ability reversed only physical time, not the soul, and apologized to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao visited Mu En, who refused further life-saving pills and urged him to accept the realities of his approaching death. Mu En appointed Huo Yuhao a Reserve Sea God Pavilion Master, leaving him stunned as the others encouraged him to shoulder Shrek’s future and teased him about starting a family first.

• Qian Duoduo joked that Huo Yuhao wanted to start a family before building his career, and the others agreed.

Huo Yuhao reunited with Wang Qiu'er, who was secretly the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and invited her and his friends to eat Evil Eye brain flower and Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear meat. After dinner, he proposed testing a new wind-based combat technique and remembered that Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were still waiting to be released.

• Jie Chu complained that Wang Qiu'er made him and Ning Ge call her Sister Qiu, while Huo Yuhao recognized her as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

• Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei came out to greet Huo Yuhao, and Bei Bei hoped he would help the Tang Sect plan its business.

Huo Yuhao learned that the Tang Sect was struggling to grow because its operating costs far exceeded its income, and he advised Bei Bei on managing expenses and diversifying revenue. He declined Bei Bei’s offer to become Deputy Sect Master, explaining that he was building his own faction and describing its Soul Tool business.

• Bei Bei told Huo Yuhao that the Tang Sect lacked manpower, had little reputation, and faced annual expenses exceeding a million Gold Soul Coins.
• Huo Yuhao realized that running a sect required enormous funding and identified flaws in the precious-metal trading system.

• Huo Yuhao explained that his faction gathered Rare Metal and earned money by making new-style and high-level Soul Tools.

• After Bei Bei left to prepare with Eldest Senior Sister, Huo Yuhao began working overtime to finish his reports before the event.

Huo Yuhao and the other Inner Court students attended the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention, where seventeen veiled fairies appeared on Sea God Lake. As the opening challenge began, He Caitou used a powerful Soul Tool thruster to race toward the water lilies.

• Huo Yuhao asked He Caitou to add Glass Tubular Condensers and Tubular Heat Exchangers to the procurement list, warning him not to break them again.
• Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, and their companions returned to Shrek Academy as students gathered for the convention.

Huo Yuhao mistakenly concluded that the elders had arranged the event to help him win the Inner Courtyard students’ support, while the elders watched in exasperation.

• Ye Liu raised waves at the girls, so a senior sister bound him with her golden rope while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion struck him with the Sword of Judgment.
• Ye Liu complained to Zhang Lexuan that the girls had broken the rules, but Zhang Lexuan ruled that he had provoked them and sent him back to shore.
• Huo Yuhao and He Caitou wondered whether the Inner Courtyard students were unusually fierce and clueless about social customs.
• Huo Yuhao decided the elders had arranged the event to help him build a reputation and gain the senior students’ approval.
• Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin Er, and Elder Xuan realized that Huo Yuhao had misunderstood their intentions, but decided to keep watching.
