• Ya Li sent everyone else out and asked Leng Yulai whether she had poisoned Yuanen Yehui.

Leng Yulai treated Yuanen Yehui’s powerful toxin while Ya Li suspected her of causing it, then revealed healing skills that convinced Ya Li she was not an Evil Spirit Master.

• Ya Li comforted Ye Xinglan and promised Xia Yi would help forge her Two-Word Battle Armor, stirring a faint reaction in Ye Xinglan.

After assassinations and attacks put contestants at risk, the Star Luo Empire arranged dangerous doubles matches that would expose Shrek Academy’s and Xia Yi’s strength. Xia Yi recognized the arrangement as an attempt to draw him into the conflict, but hinted that he had a plan to avoid becoming its target.

• The Star Luo Empire released the doubles match list only an hour before the competition, pairing Xia Yi and Gu Yue against Hua Lantang and Ye Zhi, and Tang Wulin and Na'er against Lin San and Tengteng.
• Leng Yulai suspected the Star Luo Empire had deliberately arranged the matches to force Shrek Academy’s experts into danger, while Xia Yi said he would not let others make him a scapegoat and hinted at a plan.

Monster Academy and Xia Yi faced off before their doubles match, and Long Yue tested Xia Yi’s strength with a handshake. Long Yue realized Xia Yi was holding back, while Xia Yi concealed how much the exchange had strained him.

• Monster Academy arrived at the waiting area, where Long Yue approached Xia Yi and asked about his teammate, Yue'er.

• Dai Tianling doubted Xia Yi's ability after seeing his trembling hand, but En Ci told him Xia Yi had been holding back.

Long Yue warned Monster Academy’s Heavenly Kings not to underestimate Xia Yi, then Xia Yi faced Hua Lantang and Ye Zhi alone. He revealed a red-painted mecha to stun them, knocked them both out, and left the arena after bluffing his way to an easy victory.

• Long Yue tested Hua Lantang’s strength and warned him that Xia Yi was stronger, especially without Ye Zhi’s support.

After Shrek Academy overwhelmed Monster Academy, Xia Yi returned to the tournament and faced Third Sister-in-Law, a Tang Sect fighter who challenged him to a life-and-death match. Behind her, Hu Jie and Tang Sect F4 planned to use the fight to draw out Xia Yi’s hidden abilities.

• Third Sister-in-Law challenged Xia Yi to sign a life-and-death contract, and Xia Yi accepted without hesitation.

Xia Yi outmaneuvered Third Sister-in-Law by leaving her Life and Death Contract unsigned, then defeated her and returned to the waiting area. There, Ya Li asked about Leng Yulai and tried to negotiate for Xia Yi to forge Two-Word Battle Armor for Shrek Academy, but he recognized her probing and their exchange ended with a suggestive joke about Yun Ming.

• Third Sister-in-Law presented Xia Yi with a Life and Death Contract, but he asked the Star Luo Empire representative to check it without signing it.
• Xia Yi attacked Third Sister-in-Law with his Dark Gold Terror Claw and stopped it just short of her neck; the representative ruled that Xia Yi had won because the unsigned contract was invalid.
• Xia Yi ignored the spectators' curses and returned to the waiting area, where Ya Li asked where Leng Yulai had gone.
• Xia Yi refused to help Ya Li learn medicine from Leng Yulai, and Ya Li asked him to forge Two-Word Battle Armor for Shrek Academy instead.
• Xia Yi realized Ya Li was testing his attitude toward supplying battle armor, and he joked about whether Yun Ming knew her suggestive side.

Ya Li tried to grow closer to Xia Yi to obtain the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon's medical arts, while Xia Yi continued winning matches through underhanded tactics and relied on Ice God's Heart in mecha battles. After Gu Yue emerged from seclusion with new mastery of Mystical Creation, she told Xia Yi she knew how to forge the Cauldron of Luck but would need him to make a sacrifice.

• Ya Li joked with Xia Yi to build intimacy, but Xia Yi recognized she wanted the medical arts section of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon and refused to give it to her.
• Xia Yi won his remaining matches by ambushing opponents, while Ice God's Heart fought his mecha matches and he watched from inside.

• Gu Yue said she could suppress Xia Yi inside his Spiritual World, but Xia Yi carried her to the bedroom instead of sparring.
• Gu Yue explained that forging the Cauldron of Luck required Xia Yi to make a tiny sacrifice, and he asked what it was.

Gu Yue planned to forge three Cauldrons of Luck to protect soul beasts and discussed who should control the Ocean Cauldron. She assigned Xia Yi to make the Demon Empress a suitable ocean leader, leaving him to figure out how.

• Gu Yue explained that soul beasts needed Cauldrons of Luck capable of resisting powerful beings and proposed separate Sky, Earth, and Ocean Cauldrons that might later become three God Realm Hubs.
• Gu Yue decided to forge the Earth Cauldron first, the Sky Cauldron second, and the Ocean Cauldron last because land soul beasts were losing luck fastest.
• Gu Yue considered the Sea Princess and the Demon Empress as candidates to control the Ocean Cauldron, but worried that the Sea Princess was too close to the Gods and the Demon Empress was dangerously reckless.
• Gu Yue tasked Xia Yi with dealing with the Demon Empress and turning her into a qualified ocean queen while the first two Cauldrons were being forged.
• Xia Yi objected when Gu Yue teased him about seducing the Demon Empress, but Gu Yue insisted she feared the Demon Empress might betray the soul beasts with the Ocean Cauldron.

• Xia Yi forged a huge piece of metal as Gu Yue gathered seven-colored elements, drawing a Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation and astonished onlookers who recognized the chance to create God-Level Metal.

• Divine Domain Douluo En Ci confronted Tiankui Douluo as Guimu Douluo attacked with poisonous mist and locusts, forcing En Ci to divert his power to stop them.
• The Dark Blood Demon reached for both artifacts, Ya Li charged to stop him, and Na Nali joined the fighting as Soul Power engulfed the sky over Star Luo City.

Xia Yi and Gu Yue forged a Land Cauldron that could suppress the luck of land Soul Beasts, while its creation revealed the potential of one-hundred-percent-fusion Spirit Alloy. As fighting engulfed Star Luo City, Xia Yi returned to his dormitory and let the Demon Empress inspect the cauldron, which she sensed could offer a path to becoming a first-class God.

• Xia Yi and Gu Yue used Mystical Creation and one-hundred-percent-fusion Spirit Alloy to forge the Cauldron of Luck, which could currently suppress only land Soul Beasts' luck.
• Xia Yi retrieved the Land Cauldron as the Star Luo Empire, the Green Skull Organization, and the Holy Spirit Cult pursued their own claims to the divine artifacts.
• Dai Tianling ordered the Guardian Douluo to surround and kill Tiankui Douluo and Guimu Douluo, while Ghost Emperor attacked Divine Domain Douluo En Ci and endangered the tournament contestants.

• Xia Yi returned to his dormitory and handed the Land Cauldron to the Demon Empress, who sensed it held an opportunity to become a first-class God.

The Demon Empress sought the Ocean Cauldron and challenged Xia Yi to a sea battle with their Soul Power equalized, offering loyalty if he defeated her. Xia Yi explained the cauldrons’ role in protecting soul beast luck and the future Soul Beast God Realm, then accepted her challenge and offered to forge Battle Armor for her.

• The Demon Empress sensed the Earth Cauldron’s power and asked whether Xia Yi had other cauldrons, saying she wanted the Ocean Cauldron.
• The Demon Empress challenged Xia Yi to defeat her in the sea with their Soul Power equalized and promised to pledge loyalty if he won.
• Xia Yi explained that the Sky, Earth, and Ocean Cauldrons would suppress soul beast luck and become the Soul Beast God Realm’s hubs, so he would not entrust the Ocean Cauldron to her until she proved responsible.
• The Demon Empress said she would work to become a suitable wielder but still demanded that Xia Yi beat her in her strongest state before she submitted to him.
• Xia Yi accepted the challenge and offered to forge Battle Armor for the Demon Empress so she could fight at full strength.

The God of Emotions, Huo Yuhao, sensed that the power of his Fate Eye had sharply declined and then discovered that someone had impersonated him to visit the Butterfly God. The impostor escaped the God-Kings, leaving Huo Yuhao unconscious and the Goodness God and God of Evil wondering whether they had also been deceived.

• The Demon Empress reflected that she trusted Xia Yi and had found a way to submit to him, while Xia Yi remained unaware of her reasons.

• Dai Tianling urged Kirin Douluo Tong Yu to return to the Star Luo Empire, and Tong Yu left Zhang Geyang and Leng Yulai to help En Ci.
• Leng Yulai and Zhang Geyang moved to claim the Diamond Ring as Tiankui Douluo attacked them, while Gu Yue asked Xia Yi what he was running from.

Gu Yue urged Xia Yi to accept both his soul beast identity and human bloodline, while making plans to protect the soul beasts without forcing him to oppose humanity. She sent him to face the battle outside without borrowing Star Dou Forest’s power, confident he could manage it himself.

• Gu Yue questioned Xia Yi about whether he acknowledged his human bloodline and warned that suppressing it could leave him regretting his choices and estranged from Leng Yaozhu.
• Xia Yi said he would take things one step at a time and focus on his responsibility to the soul beasts.
• Gu Yue said she would create a Soul Beast God Realm, lead the soul beasts there, reclaim Spirit Souls made from their kind, and settle accounts with humanity before leaving Douluo Continent.
• Gu Yue proposed making Leng Yaozhu the Human Race Master, Empress, or Plane Master, and revealed she had secretly imprinted the River Map and Luo Scroll for her.
• Gu Yue told Xia Yi to handle the battle outside without using the power of Star Dou Forest, and Xia Yi questioned how he could survive it.

Gu Yue accepted that Xia Yi’s humanity could help the soul beasts’ future and planned to create a new Soul Beast God Realm beyond the Douluo Continent. As Star Luo City’s battle threatened civilians, Xia Yi used his fifth soul skill to reach Leng Yaozhu through a dream and asked for her help.

• Xia Yi told Leng Yaozhu he could take her dream to Star Luo City, where she could briefly wield the power of a Limit Douluo, and asked her to help him.

Xia Yi brought Leng Yaozhu into a dream and asked her to stop the battle in Star Luo City. Leng Yaozhu drove off the Holy Spirit Cult and Green Skull Organization, claimed the Diamond Ring, and left the Star Luo Empire hoping to recover its national treasure later.

• Xia Yi explained the battle to Leng Yaozhu in her dream and asked her to prevent the fighting from destroying Star Luo City.
• Leng Yaozhu appeared above the city, and Leng Yulai and Ya Li recognized her.
