After they discussed Zhen Hua’s motives, Leng Yaozhu sent Xia Yi away so she could speak privately with Gu Yue, then reacted sharply to what he called her.

Xia Yi completed Bi Ji’s Two-Word Battle Armor from exceptionally pure Divine Metal as Di Tian returned with evidence that the Star Luo Empire had secretly destroyed the Tang Sect fighter jet. Xia Yi decided not to exploit the revelation, believing the Federal Government was preparing a larger move against the Tang Sect.

• Xia Yi forged Battle Armor for Bi Ji and Gu Yue, reserving Divine Metal below a ninety-nine percent fusion rate for his Mecha and using Ya Li’s Heaven Forged Metal for its core.
• Bi Ji received her completed Two-Word Battle Armor, and Zi Ji chose to keep her existing armor rather than have Xia Yi forge her a new set.
• Di Tian reported that the Star Luo Empire had likely attacked the Tang Sect and Green Skull Organization during an arms deal near Devil Island.
• Di Tian explained that the Star Luo Empire’s Diamond Ring could have devoured Zhao Xiongyi’s Heavenly Cloud Sword, allowing him to be killed without revealing the attackers.
• Xia Yi concluded that the Star Luo Empire had left the fighter-jet wreckage to provoke suspicion and chose not to interfere, so the Federal Government could proceed with its plans against the Tang Sect.

Wujin defeated Wu Siduo in the first-grade selection tournament with his Ten Thousand Beast Fist, though he remained dissatisfied with how weakly he could wield it. Meanwhile, Xia Yi’s battle armor work strengthened the Star Dou Forest’s group, while the Tang Sect continued pressuring the Federal Government over Zhao Xiongyi’s disappearance.

• Sentimental Douluo Zang Xin learned that the North Sea Legion still held Hall Master Zhao and was demanding an explanation for Tang Sect fighter jets entering its defense waters, so he ordered continued pressure on the Federal Government.

• During the first-grade selection tournament, Wujin’s Ten Thousand Beast Fist overwhelmed Wu Siduo’s Hell White Tiger and sent her crashing into the arena floor.
• Wu Siduo demanded to know why Wujin’s strength exceeded Xia Yi’s and Gu Yue’s, but Wujin left without answering, reflecting that his Ten Thousand Beast Fist was not yet strong enough to match them.

The first-year class struggled in the secondary-profession matches against the second years, then formed a team for the final battle without Xia Yi or Gu Yue. Wujin chose to fight alone, leaving the rest to compete in a seven-person match, and Yuanen Yehui entered disappointed that Xia Yi was absent.

• The first-year students lost two secondary-profession contests, drew one, and won one through Tang Wulin's fifth-rank Forging.
• Wujin announced that only he would represent the first-year class in the team battle, prompting Shen Yi to choose six students to join him.
• Wu Siduo claimed Yuanen Yehui as her opponent, while Luo Guixing proposed a team formation and the others responded with varying degrees of reluctance.
• Wujin assigned Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing to target the opposing support and control fighters and said he would hold off Yuanen Yehui.
• Yuanen Yehui saw Xia Yi was absent and felt disappointed that the match would not test her against him.

• Wujin and Yuanen Yehui clashed with their battle armor, while Wu Siduo used Luo Guixing's teleportation to ambush Bai Hanying and transform into Hell White Tiger.

• Long Xiu conceded after the first grade gained the advantage, while Tang Wulin and Mu Xi were revealed to have been pretending to fight.
• Cai Yue'er praised the first grade's martial souls, and Xia Yi successfully fused with the headpiece of his battle armor after repeatedly blood-sacrificing the metal.

Wu Zhangkong, Cai Yue'er, and Shen Yi planned to build Tang Wulin into the core of first grade by forming a team capable of making battle armor. They arranged for Na'er to join the Outer Court and recruit Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, while Tang Wulin remained confident that his forging could rival Xia Yi's.

• Wu Zhangkong showed Tang Wulin two alloys forged by Xia Yi, and Tang Wulin judged them good but claimed he could forge better ones.
• Tang Wulin explained that Life Gold in Xia Yi's Forging Hammer gave it an advantage with special metals, though he believed he could match Xia Yi with ordinary metals.

• Cai Yue'er said Na'er wanted to help Tang Wulin become the core of first grade, and planned to persuade Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi to join his team.
• Shen Yi explained that Wujin had leadership ability but did not want to lead first grade, so she considered supporting Tang Wulin as class president.
• The teachers believed Tang Wulin's proposed team could make battle armor, unaware that the alloys Xia Yi had listed for sale were his worst defective pieces.

• Feng Wuyu blocked the Forging Room door with Long Yan and demanded that Xia Yi acknowledge him as his teacher.
• Xia Yi called Feng Wuyu shameless, and Feng Wuyu proudly agreed.

• Feng Wuyu asked Xia Yi to become his disciple, but Xia Yi refused, saying there was no master-disciple fate between them.
• Xia Yi proposed a dice game in which the remainders determined how many years he would study under Feng Wuyu, and Feng Wuyu objected that the rules were mathematically unfair to him.
• Xia Yi suggested playing multiple rounds for metal, and Feng Wuyu agreed to the deal and promised not to raise the matter again afterward.
• Feng Wuyu gave Xia Yi ten pieces of Sky Star Iron, then criticized him for treating apprenticeship as a way to gain benefits.
• Xia Yi replied that Feng Wuyu was also using apprenticeship to achieve his own goal, and Feng Wuyu admitted he had no right to criticize him before rolling the die.

Xia Yi tricked Feng Wuyu and Shrek Academy’s leaders into repeatedly betting rare metals on dice rolls that always produced numbers divisible by seven, then left before they realized the trick. He returned to the dormitory, discussed his forging progress with Gu Yue, and entered Shrek Academy’s cultivation rooms with her to train.

• Xia Yi repeatedly showed Feng Wuyu that his dice rolls were divisible by seven, prompting Feng Wuyu to make his own dice and lose again.
• Xia Yi left through a broken window while Feng Wuyu continued calculating, and Long Yeyue, Yun Ming, and Ya Li discovered that repeating a three-digit sequence in a six-digit number always made it divisible by seven.

• Xia Yi explained the incident to Gu Yue, then told her his attempt at fusing three metals had failed because he lacked Soul Power.
• Gu Yue took Xia Yi to Shrek Academy’s cultivation rooms, where they booked rooms and began training Xia Yi’s spiritual power and Soul Power.

Xia Yi and Gu Yue cultivated their spiritual power together in Shrek Academy, while the chapter revealed that the Ice God's Heart had fused with Xia Yi's mecha, Little Ice, making it a quasi-Red Mecha. The Ice God's Heart studied mecha-making and sought an upgrade, but she could not yet fight at full strength through Little Ice.

• A staff member found that the spiritual Cultivation Room and the room holding Xia Yi's mecha had been drained of power.
• The Ice God's Heart fused with Xia Yi's Heaven Forged Metal mecha, which he called Little Ice, turning the Purple Mecha into a quasi-Red Mecha.
• The Ice God's Heart demanded a female-style mecha and claimed Little Ice as her private property, but Xia Yi refused to redesign it and persuaded her to compromise by threatening to use defective metals for upgrades.
• The Ice God's Heart studied Shrek Academy's mecha-manufacturing courses and said Little Ice needed to reach at least black-mecha level before she could fight safely through it.

As Shrek Academy’s first-semester final exam approached, Xia Yi challenged the Tang Sect to send strong disciples against him, Gu Yue, and Wujin on their journey to Ming City. The Tang Sect accepted the challenge, while a girl at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy lamented that Xia Yi was not coming her way so she could beat him.

• Shen Yi announced a fifteen-day solo exam requiring students to travel through ten cities, defeat stronger opponents, and reach Ming City without their belongings or outside help.
• After Xia Yi questioned how support Soul Masters would manage, Shen Yi allowed pure support Soul Masters to pair with Battle Soul Masters, but refused to classify Xia Yi as one.
• Xia Yi asked Shen Yi to tell the Tang Sect he would challenge its strongest disciples below Soul King in each city; Gu Yue and Wujin joined his plan.
• Tang Sect’s Sentimental Douluo, Zang Xin, ordered that they win more than half the matches, since the sect could neither refuse nor afford to lose face.
• Xia Yi felt that someone was plotting against him, while a girl at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy complained that she would miss her chance to beat him.

The Tang Sect prepared to challenge Xia Yi, Wujin, and Gu Yue, while Xia Yi left his valuables behind and trained for the journey. After Gu Yue and the Beasts failed to make progress on artificial Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Souls, Zi Ji urged Gu Yue to act on her feelings for Xia Yi, leaving Gu Yue unsure what to do next.

• Gu Yue asked Zi Ji what she should do after using the medicine, and Zi Ji froze, unable to answer.

Xia Yi and the other two faced Tang Sect challengers at its headquarters, where Xia Yi negotiated payment for the livestreamed matches. In his bout with Tang Jing, both fighters’ abilities unexpectedly countered each other, leaving the match unresolved.

• Xia Yi, Wujin, and Gu Yue arrived at Tang Sect Headquarters and mounted the three Soul Fighting Arenas as a crowd watched.
• Xia Yi invoked Federal portrait-rights law to demand compensation for the livestream, and the referee offered ten thousand Federal Coin for each minute he lasted or one million if he won.
• Xia Yi began fighting Tang Jing, whose Copy Mirror Soul Skill struck him but had no effect.
• Tang Jing used Reflection Mirror to reflect Xia Yi’s Fox Mind Technique, while Xia Yi realized he could exploit Tang Jing’s fragile mirror-like body with a physical attack.

Xia Yi overcame Tang Jing’s counters in the battle by revealing powerful battle armor and using the Fox Mind Technique to control his Ice Spears. The referee rescued Tang Jing from Xia Yi’s finishing strike, leaving the match’s outcome unresolved.

• Xia Yi launched an Ice Spear at Tang Jing, who equipped ten pieces of mirror-shaped battle armor and copied the attack with his Third Soul Skill.
• Xia Yi summoned more than a dozen Ice Spears and revealed his platinum Head Battle Armor and Chest Armor, astonishing the referee with their Divine Metal.
• Tang Jing’s copied Ice Spear broke through Xia Yi’s Ice Spears, but Xia Yi used the Fox Mind Technique to halt it and control both his and Tang Jing’s Ice Spears.
• Xia Yi accelerated the Ice Spears with his spiritual power, striking Tang Jing’s Energy Core and cracking it after Tang Jing dropped his Reflection Mirror.
• Xia Yi sent Tang Jing flying and followed with a Dark Gold Terror Claw, but the Three-Word Battle Armor referee pulled Tang Jing out of its path.
