After Tang San revealed his identity as Tang Hao’s son, Shrek Academy’s staff and teammates agreed to protect him from an investigation into the Canghui Academy incident. The Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall investigation team arrived and announced plans to take Tang San away for questioning, just as a student rushed in with urgent news.

• Tang San told his teammates that his father was Tang Hao, and Tailong knelt and pledged his loyalty.
• Ma Hongjun proposed a plan requiring Tailong to pretend to be dead, and Tailong agreed before asking Tang San for a private conversation afterward.
• The joint investigation team, including Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Shi Yueyi, and the disguised Qian Renxue, arrived at Shrek Academy.

• Shi Yueyi announced that the team would take Tang San away for questioning, but a student ran in with urgent news.

Shi Yueyi investigated Slime Engineering Academy's injuries, while Tang San and Flender staged Tailong's death to avoid scrutiny. She allowed the academy to remain in the tournament and recruit a player, then ordered Qian Renxue to cremate Tailong, leaving Tang San's group shocked and frightened.

• A student reported that Tailong was dying, and Flender led the investigation team to the cabin where Tailong lay with Tang San and the others.
• Tang San presented Tailong as a victim of Canghui Academy's illusion, and Tailong briefly appeared to die in front of the investigators.

After Tailong was burned to ashes, Shrek Academy received three days to find a seventh team member, and Tang San blamed Spirit Hall for the incident.

• Tang San wrote a letter to Oscar and sent it to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Oscar received the letter from Shrek and stiffened when told who had sent it.

Oscar received Tang San’s request to meet and questioned his loyalty to Shrek after reflecting on Ning Rongrong’s gift and Shi Yueyi’s reasons for opposing Tang San. He met Tang San and Yu Xiaogang in Heaven Dou City, where Tang San began trying to recruit him and bring Ning Rongrong back to Shrek.

Tang San visited Tang Hao and learned that two of the tournament’s Soul Bones belonged to Sacred Pillar Douluo from Sea God Island, deepening his resentment toward Spirit Hall. He returned to Shrek Academy as the team selected Du Xinyi as its seventh member, and Yu Xiaogang asked him to teach her the Soul Ring fusion technique.

• Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang to select an auxiliary-system Soul Master for the team while he visited Tang Hao, who was in seclusion.

Shi Yueyi monitored Tang Hao’s arrival outside Heaven Dou City and watched the Soul Master Tournament while planning to bring the Elemental Academies into Spirit Hall.

• Tang Hao settled in an abandoned village outside Heaven Dou City, and Shi Yueyi ordered her agents to watch him without disturbing him.
• Shi Yueyi considered how strong soul masters of this era were and discussed recruiting Blazing Fire and Godwind Academies into Spirit Hall with Ning Rongrong.
• Blazing Fire Academy faced Slime Engineering Academy, and Huo Wushuang sent Ma Hongjun flying with a direct attack.
• At Tang San’s command, Ma Hongjun used a rapid body-control technique to change direction and charge toward Huo Wu.

Shrek struggled against Blazing Fire Academy as Huo Wu’s team exploited their fire advantage and Tang San’s limited Soul Power. After Blazing Fire Academy knocked the support Soul Masters off the arena, Huo Wu began her fourth soul skill, leaving Shrek facing a likely finishing attack.

• Flender surrendered for Slime Engineering Academy, and Qian Renxue reversed Huo Wu’s exploding attack, contained it, and released it as fireworks.

• Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang discussed Tang San’s injuries, and Yu Xiaogang blamed the other students for failing him.

After Tang San was defeated by Feng Xiaotian, Ma Hongjun fed him a Blazing Jade Flower to help his Blue Silver Grass resist fire, but its side effects caused him pain and altered his martial soul. The chapter ended with Tang San hinting he might cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer, prompting Yu Xiaogang to warn him against it.

• Yu Xiaogang agreed to let Ma Hongjun search Tang San's stored herbs for a remedy.
• Ma Hongjun crushed a Blazing Jade Flower and fed it to Tang San, whose body turned red as the herb gave his Blue Silver Grass some fire resistance.
• Tang San woke in pain from the herb's fire toxin, and Zhao Wuji poured water over him to ease the burning.
• Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass and found it had reddish-black markings and caused him stabbing pain.
• Yu Xiaogang blamed Ma Hongjun, but Flender defended him, and Ma Hongjun apologized to Tang San for trying to help.
• Tang San said he might stop relying on his Blue Silver Grass and turn to the Clear Sky Hammer, and Yu Xiaogang urgently told him not to.

Tang San agreed to cultivate his Clear Sky Hammer and add two Soul Rings, despite Yu Xiaogang’s concerns, while Flender and Yu Xiaogang settled their argument. After Tang San left, the teachers decided to forfeit Shrek Academy’s match against Skywater Academy and planned to seek Tang San’s Soul Rings during the promotion matches.

• Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer so they could defeat Spirit Hall, but Flender argued that Shrek Academy’s weakened team was not ready for the tournament.
• Tang San sided with Flender, then explained that he would add two strength-focused Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer and pursue the championship.
• Yu Xiaogang accepted Tang San’s decision and agreed that Tang San should inform his father, while Tang San reconciled Yu Xiaogang and Flender.

Qian Renxue and Shi Yueyi cultivated together in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where their Martial Soul Fusion Skill gained the name Infinite Angel. Deep below the twin springs, the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s dragon souls approached them.

• As Infinite Angel cultivated deep beneath the twin springs, the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s dragon souls arrived and discussed the target they had discovered years earlier.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings sought Blood Contracts with Qian Renxue and Shi Yueyi so they could return to the God Realm, but the Fire Dragon King’s attempt to intimidate them failed. After Infinite Angel effortlessly resisted and reflected its attacks, the Fire Dragon King agreed to the contract on their terms.

• The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King decided to ask Qian Renxue and Shi Yueyi to form Blood Contracts and take them to the God Realm.

• The Fire Dragon King attacked Infinite Angel, but its flames did no harm, and Qian Renxue reflected a stronger attack that sent it stumbling.
• The Fire Dragon King changed its stance and offered to provide power in exchange for a future trip to the God Realm, while asking not to be bullied.

Shi Yueyi and Qian Renxue met the Water Dragon King and the erratic Fire Dragon King, who offered them contracts and the power to create dragon armor. Their Blood Contract was blocked by an unknown bond between the two women, so the Dragon Kings proposed a Spirit Contract instead.

• The Water Dragon King explained that the Fire Dragon King had lost part of its body and might have been mentally affected by the missing remains and a possible dragon egg.

• An unknown contract between Qian Renxue and Shi Yueyi interrupted the Blood Contract, leaving them unsure when they had formed such a bond.
• Shi Yueyi rejected the Fire Dragon King's claim that it had just invented the Spirit Contract, and the Water Dragon King confirmed that the contract was real.

Shi Yueyi and Qian Renxue formed soul contracts with the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, then used their power to transform their bodies and martial souls at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They emerged stronger, but Qian Renxue declined a dragon-made ninth soul ring to protect the well, leaving her next step unresolved.

• Shi Yueyi and Qian Renxue opened their minds to complete their soul contracts, and the Dragon Kings entered their Spiritual Seas.
• The Water Dragon King learned about Shi Yueyi’s Body Martial Soul, Soul Cores, and water-element power from the Heart of the Sea God, then began summoning its remains.
• The Dragon Kings drew power from their remains to transform Shi Yueyi and Qian Renxue, causing a burst of energy that startled Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo at the well.
• After enduring three days and nights of transformation, Shi Yueyi and Qian Renxue emerged with Dragon God Armor; Qian Renxue’s Angel Martial Soul became a Body Angel.
• Shi Yueyi discovered that her first two soul rings had turned black and her Soul Power had reached level seventy, while Qian Renxue reached level ninety and refused the Fire Dragon King’s offer to make her ninth soul ring from its remains.
• Shi Yueyi asked Qian Renxue what she would do about her ninth soul ring.
