Qian Renxue touched the scar on Shi Yueyi’s back and experienced a vision of the two of them dying together in another world, then learned that Shi Yueyi remembered their shared past. They pledged to keep going together and discussed their next plans.

• Qian Renxue planned to return to Spirit City after the preliminaries to absorb her final soul bone, while Shi Yueyi planned to complete her first Soul Core.

Shi Yueyi examined Qingqing’s new Soul Core and learned that the snake could potentially evolve into a dragon. She then began stabilizing her own Soul Core, explaining her understanding of water and her plans for Spirit Hall before the Water Dragon King warned that unseen eyes still watched her and her Young Master.

• Shi Yueyi discovered that Qingqing’s Soul Core contained a trace of Chaos Power after Qingqing explained how the ancient beast’s Inner Core had fused with the Heart of the Sea God’s power.
• The Water Dragon King said Qingqing could evolve into a true dragon and agreed to help her once it had recovered.

The preliminary rankings were settled, and the five advancing teams received their certificates and prize money before the advancement round was scheduled for a month later. Salas seized Shrek’s prize money to repay Flender’s debt, and Tang San returned to the academy to find Tang Yuehua waiting for him.

• Xue Ye announced that the three students with the most victories in the advancement round could choose a Soul Beast below thirty thousand years, and that the Crown Prince would attend.
• Salas demanded Shrek’s prize money from Tang San and Ma Hongjun to repay Flender’s old debt, promising it could be erased if Shrek won the championship.
• Tang San returned to the academy and found his aunt, Tang Yuehua, waiting at the entrance.

Tang Yuehua brought Tang San to Tang Hao, who questioned him about his fourth soul ring and agreed to let him begin cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang Yuehua warned Tang San to conceal the hammer until the finals so Spirit Hall would not prepare a counter.

• Tang Yuehua met Tang San outside the academy and revealed that she was his aunt and had found Tang Hao hiding near Heaven Dou City.
• Tang Yuehua led Tang San to Tang Hao, who was staying in a water vat in a deserted village.
• Tang San explained his ten-year Mimicry soul ring, and Tang Hao blamed Spirit Hall for the Beast Tide in Sunset Forest without evidence.
• Tang San asked to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer early, invoking his promise to protect Xiao Wu and his desire to reclaim her and her soul bone.
• Tang Hao agreed, while Tang Yuehua urged Tang San to avoid using the Clear Sky Hammer until the finals.

Tang San warned Tang Hao to flee after Spirit Hall searched his old village, then joined the Shrek group on a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings for his Clear Sky Hammer. Tang Hao joined the expedition, unaware that Shi Yueyi was secretly following them.

• Tang San urged Tang Hao to leave his hideout and explained that he planned to add his first two Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tang Yuehua reported her mission to Qian Daoliu, who ordered Salas to search Tang Hao’s former village to maintain appearances.
• Tang Hao and Tang San watched Spirit Hall’s squad search the abandoned village, then Tang Hao left for the southern military district ahead of the Shrek group.
• After arriving at the southern military district, Tang San traveled with Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tang Hao ambushed the carriage, revealed himself to the group, and joined them to supervise Tang San’s Soul Ring hunt.
• Shi Yueyi secretly followed the group into the forest while discussing the Silver Dragon King’s presence there with the Water Dragon King.

Tang San hunted soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to add rings to his Clear Sky Hammer, despite warnings that his unstable condition made powerful rings dangerous. After struggling through several failed attempts, he obtained a nineteen-thousand-year ring and considered absorbing another to prepare for Shi Yueyi and the Soul Master Tournament.

• Shi Yueyi watched Tang San's hunt from hiding and recorded his group's words and actions for the Water Dragon King.
• Tang San absorbed an eighteen-thousand-year Great Ape's ring, raising his Soul Power to level forty-four and making him eager to keep absorbing rings.
• Tang San and Tang Hao pushed deeper into the forest, killing soul beasts along the way as Tang San hoped to find the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
• Tang San failed to absorb a twenty-five-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider ring, and several progressively weaker soul rings also proved too strong for him.
• Tang San finally settled on a nineteen-thousand-year ring, reached level forty-six, and asked whether he should absorb one more ring to face the tournament's Soul King contenders.

Tang San’s third Clear Sky Hammer soul-ring absorption was interrupted when a swarm of Magic Mountain Giant Lizards attacked, leaving him with severe, irreversible injuries. As Tang Hao and the Golden Iron Triangle fled, Tang San weakened and begged for soul-beast blood qi to feed his Blue Silver Grass’s devouring ability.

• Tang San killed a twenty-two-thousand-year-old Magic Mountain Giant Lizard and began absorbing its soul ring while suppressing his first martial soul’s urge to devour it.
• Shi Yueyi watched and recorded Tang San’s dangerous absorption as a Lizard Emperor and its kin surrounded the group.
• Tang Hao and the Golden Iron Triangle fought the lizards, but the battle disrupted Tang San’s absorption and caused him to vomit blood.
• Tang Hao led the group in retreat after the Golden Saint Dragon broke away from the Lizard Emperor.
• Tang San told Tang Hao that he needed to devour soul-beast blood qi to replenish himself or his body might explode.

Tang Hao blamed Spirit Hall for Tang San’s condition and tried to help him absorb replacement soul rings, but repeated failures left Tang San with a yellow third ring. The Rakshasa God then revealed that he had drained the age of Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer ring as part of an early trial, leaving Tang San furious and granting him only a half-level of soul power.

• Tang Hao brought weak thousand-year soul beasts to the hiding place, where Tang San devoured them with his Dark Blue Silver Grass and recovered somewhat.
• Tang San said his injured body could no longer absorb a ten-thousand-year third ring, and repeated attempts to absorb stronger soul rings failed until his third ring settled as yellow.
• The Rakshasa God appeared in Tang San’s mind, announced that his second trial would begin early, and provoked him to resent the god.
• The Rakshasa God drained the age of Tang San’s second Clear Sky Hammer ring, changing it from black to purple, and declared the Soul Ring Age Extraction trial complete.
• Tang San earned ten percent resentment value and half a level of soul power, then spat blood as the purple ring settled completely.

Tang San revealed that the Rakshasa God had chosen him and assigned trials that would weaken his soul rings, while Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao interpreted the trials as a path to restoring his ability to absorb powerful rings. Shi Yueyi left the Star Dou Great Forest after discussing how she could obtain future soul rings through willing soul beast contracts.

• Tang San told Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender that the Rakshasa God had chosen him because of his hatred for Spirit Hall and was amplifying that hatred through a godly trial.
• Tang San explained that his next trials required progressively stronger soul rings, beginning with a ten-year fourth ring, and Yu Xiaogang believed the process would help his body recover from cultivating Twin Martial Souls.
• Tang Hao accepted Tang San’s next task, while Yu Xiaogang celebrated his disciple’s chance to become a god.
• Shi Yueyi packed away the Image Pearls she had recorded and prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest with the Water Dragon King.
• The Water Dragon King suggested that powerful soul beasts could willingly become Shi Yueyi’s soul rings and soul bones, and Shi Yueyi agreed that this was the best option for now.

The Silver Dragon King arranged guards for the Lake of Life after learning that Shi Yueyi had killed powerful soul beasts, while Qian Renxue revealed her perfected disguise ability. Shi Yueyi approved Haagen-Dazs Academy’s withdrawal and transfer to Slime Engineering Academy, confident the returning rivals could not stop her from winning.

• The Silver Dragon King learned that Shi Yueyi had killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Sky Azure Bull Python, then assigned Bear Lord to guard the Lake of Life for the next hundred years.
• Bear Lord drove Er Ming away from the Lake of Life and told him that the Sky Azure Bull Python had been killed.
• Qian Renxue showed Shi Yueyi how the Angel Godly Garment let her imitate appearances and auras, and Shi Yueyi handed her the Image Pearls she had collected.
• Ning Fengzhi told Shi Yueyi that Haagen-Dazs Academy planned to withdraw and transfer to Slime Engineering Academy, bringing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing back onto the competition path.
• Shi Yueyi approved the application, saying the event rules allowed the transfer and that the rivals would still have to get past her to win the championship.

Shi Yueyi confirmed the tournament rewards and informed Shrek that Haagen-Dazs Academy had withdrawn, requiring them to register a new roster. The chapter left Tang San shaken after Shi Yueyi countered his attempt to probe Xue Qinghe with Spiritual Power.

• Shi Yueyi reassured Ning Fengzhi that Spirit Hall would honor the tournament rewards, and Ning Fengzhi agreed not to covet the External Soul Bone or the hundred-thousand-year rabbit.

• Tang San tried to use his Purple Demon Eye and Spiritual Power to assess Xue Qinghe, but Shi Yueyi sent a lightning-charged counterattack through his Spiritual Sea.
• Shi Yueyi explained the counterattack to Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, while Tang San trembled and wondered at her use of lightning with Spiritual Power.

She revealed herself as a six-ring Soul Emperor and defeated Ma Hongjun in one blow, leaving Zhu Zhuqing to face her next.

• Shi Yueyi explained that she had dropped out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy and enrolled again, and Salas warned Slime Engineering Academy’s teachers not to interfere with the match.
• Tang San proposed wearing Shi Yueyi down in successive bouts, and Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing agreed to buy him time and gather information.
• Shi Yueyi revealed six soul rings, including a 100,000-year ring, and used Echo of the Void to accelerate herself.
• Shi Yueyi flew after Ma Hongjun, grabbed his wing, and hurled him into the waiting-room wall, defeating him.
• Dai Mubai sent Zhu Zhuqing into the second match, explaining that she was an Agility Attack Soul Master.

Grandmaster Yu objected to Zhu Zhuqing being sent against Shi Yueyi, but Shi Yueyi used her control and attack abilities to send Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San crashing through the lounge. Dai Mubai entered the third match and began to draw on the God of War’s power as Shi Yueyi faced him.

• Grandmaster Yu argued that Dai Mubai should face Shi Yueyi first, but Dai Mubai defended sending Zhu Zhuqing to use her speed to drain Shi Yueyi’s Soul Power.
• Shi Yueyi used her fifth soul skill to trap Zhu Zhuqing’s movements, then struck her and sent both her and Tang San through the lounge doors and wall.
• The Godwind Academy teacher judged Shi Yueyi to be an all-rounder with control, speed, and offensive power, while Feng Xiaotian joked that her being a girl spared him from Huo Wu choosing her instead.
• Dai Mubai took the arena for the third match and activated his White Tiger Body Protection Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
• Dai Mubai recalled his God of War abilities and invoked the Power of the War God as Shi Yueyi prepared to face him.

Shi Yueyi overwhelmed Dai Mubai in the arena, using her strength and Floating Light Haze to taunt and disorient him while recalling how the Star Luo Empire’s attacks had orphaned her in her past life. The fight ended with Dai Mubai still being beaten down, and the chapter left his defeat unresolved.

• Shi Yueyi assessed Dai Mubai’s strength and stopped his tiger-form charge with one finger before knocking him into the arena.
• Shi Yueyi used Floating Light Haze to cloud Dai Mubai’s mind and revealed that she knew about his White Tiger bloodline and past.
• Shi Yueyi remembered being orphaned by the Star Luo Empire’s attacks and connected that past to her support for Qian Renxue’s rejection of meaningless war.
• Dai Mubai attacked Shi Yueyi in a blind rage, but she dodged him and slammed his tiger form into the arena floor.
• Shi Yueyi used Floating Light Haze again to erase Dai Mubai’s memory of their conversation, then lifted him by the tail and smashed him into the ground.

Shi Yueyi later explained to Qian Renxue that her performance was a warning to other academies, while Qian Renxue asked why she had attacked Dai Mubai so ruthlessly.
