• Chen Xin challenged Liu Xinghan to last ten exchanges against him while Chen Xin suppressed his cultivation to the Soul Ancestor level.

• Liu Xinghan summoned the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, and Chen Xin's first spirit skill failed to cut through its fur.

After Chen Xin discovered Liu Xinghan’s extraordinary age, cultivation, and spirit rings, his suspicion and killing intent drove Liu Xinghan to teleport away and summon the Wind Dragon.

• Liu Xinghan empowered the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear with the Heavenly Maiden Butterfly, and Chen Xin admitted defeat but called him only barely qualified to teach.

• Suspecting Liu Xinghan might belong to the Clear Sky Sect or Spirit Hall, Chen Xin revealed his killing intent, so Liu Xinghan teleported across the courtyard and summoned the Wind Dragon.
• Chen Xin, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong were astonished when the Wind Dragon appeared before Liu Xinghan.

Liu Xinghan used the Wind Dragon’s presence to reassure Chen Xin that Ning Rongrong could keep training with him, then completed the girls’ reaction training and returned to Shrek Academy for the agreed match. Flender and the Grandmaster confidently predicted Liu Xinghan would lose, leaving him wondering whether Tang San and Xiao Wu had reached level thirty.

• Chen Xin questioned Liu Xinghan about his identity and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Wind Dragon, but Ning Rongrong insisted on continuing her lessons, so Chen Xin allowed her to stay and left.

Zhu Zhuqing used Ning Rongrong’s support and Liu Xinghan’s Soul Tools to counter Tang San’s abilities and overwhelm him in battle. Tang San was badly injured by her Rank 3 close-combat Attack Soul Tool, while Grandmaster began suspecting that Liu Xinghan was connected to the weapons.

After Tang San recovered and Oscar reached rank thirty, Shrek Academy set out for the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings, stopping for the night in a town where Dai Mubai demanded that an old man and a young man give up their table.

• A healer treated the unconscious Tang San, and the referee declared Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong the winners.
• Liu Xinghan reminded Yu Xiaogang that he had lost their wager, then confirmed that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had used Attack-type Soul Tools.
• Tang San woke and apologized to Yu Xiaogang for losing; after hearing about the Soul Tools, he asked to cultivate his Hammer Spirit, but Yu Xiaogang warned him to focus on his first Martial Soul.
• Tang San’s injuries nearly healed, and Oscar broke through to rank thirty, prompting Shrek Academy to form a team and travel toward the Star Dou Great Forest for soul rings.
• The group stopped at a town hotel, where Dai Mubai approached an old man and a young man at a window table and arrogantly told them to move.

Dai Mubai started a fight over a table and was nearly killed by a spear-wielding youth before Zhao Wuji intervened. The youth’s elder revealed himself as Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan, a Soul Douluo, leaving Flender to face the powerful stranger.

• Dai Mubai demanded the table from the spear-wielding youth, and they began fighting after the youth matched his strength.
• The youth’s spear techniques and Spirit Skills overwhelmed Dai Mubai, whose strongest attack failed to stop him.

• The youth’s elderly companion released Soul Douluo pressure, and Flender arrived to help Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai withstand it.
• Flender introduced himself as the headmaster of Shrek Academy, and the old man identified himself as Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan.

• Yang Wudi demanded either that Dai Mubai kneel and kowtow or pay one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, and Dai Mubai and Flender paid him.

• Zhao Wuji accepted Liu Xinghan’s suggestion, and the group continued deeper into the forest.

Liu Xinghan’s group entered the mixed region of the Star Dou Great Forest to find third spirit rings and encountered a thousand-year Earth Spirit Hairy Elephant. Zhao Wuji defeated it so Oscar could absorb its spirit ring, but several people emerged from the forest and ordered the group to stop.

• Flender gave the students Oscar’s Soul Power-restoring and poison-detoxifying sausages before they searched the mixed region.
• The group found a twelve- or thirteen-hundred-year Earth Spirit Hairy Elephant, and Liu Xinghan argued that its defensive attributes suited Oscar’s support martial soul.
• Yu Xiaogang warned that the elephant’s stomping was a call for companions, so Flender told the teachers to intervene if necessary.
• Zhao Wuji used his spirit skills to throw the Earth Spirit Hairy Elephant down and knock it unconscious.
• Flender told Oscar to take the elephant elsewhere to absorb its ring, and Zhao Wuji dragged it away by its trunk.
• Several people ran out of the forest and angrily ordered Liu Xinghan’s group to stop.

The Shrek Academy group encountered five members of the Elephant Armored Sect, who demanded the Earth Spirit Hairy Elephant they had captured. Liu Xinghan proposed a contest of strength to settle the dispute, and the chapter ended as he prepared to show what he could do.
