• Na'er saw Ya Li, called her Master's Wife, and began crying.

Na'er reunited with Tang Wulin, but her fear of Xia Yi led her to cut off a finger to spare her brother before Xia Yi regenerated it. Shocked that a level-ten healing Soul Master had held his own against her, Na'er fled.

• Na'er apologized to Tang Wulin for leaving secretly, then recoiled when Xia Yi ordered her to admit her mistake.

• Na'er disbelieved that Xia Yi was a Support Soul Master and ran away.

After revealing that he had threatened Na'er to protect himself, Xia Yi refused to heal Tang Wulin and left with Gu Yue to seek a place in Eastsea Academy's First Class. Ye Yingluo immediately looked down on him because his Soul Power was only level ten.

• Xia Yi explained to Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li that he had tricked Na'er into believing he could hurt Tang Wulin, and Ya Li questioned his methods before leaving without forcing him to heal Tang Wulin.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li discovered that Wujin was struggling to suppress Evil Spirit Master power and decided to watch over him in Eastsea City.

• Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li noticed the faint red glow in Wujin’s eyes and explained that he was suppressing Evil Spirit Master power, so she decided to remain in Eastsea City and monitor him.
• Ye Yingluo brought Xia Yi to Wujin’s dormitory, explained the sinister force corroding Wujin’s Spiritual World, and told Xia Yi to attend school with him the next morning.

• Gu Yue revealed that Xia Yi was at most a Ten-Year Transformed Soul Beast and murmured that she wished he would listen to her too.

As Xia Yi broke through during cultivation beside Wujin, his consciousness witnessed the Lion Emperor’s last stand against the Abyssal Creatures in the Endless Mountains. The Lion Emperor’s blood mist escaped with the Soul Beasts’ essence and Soul Rings, while the Abyssal army advanced toward human cities.

• Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li observed that Wujin endured an immense number of unusual Wraiths and marveled that Xia Yi could cultivate and break through beside him.

• The Abyssal Dragon and other powerful Abyssal Creatures shattered the Lion Emperor, but the fallen Soul Beasts’ souls and essence rallied around his blood mist.
• The Soul Rings flew into the Lion Emperor’s blood mist, which escaped the Forbidden Mountain Range as the Abyssal army began charging toward human cities.

Xia Yi learned that Wujin was an avenger formed from the souls and essence of Soul Beasts killed in the Endless Mountains, and that resentment over Gu Yue was threatening to turn him into an Evil Spirit Master. Wujin urged Xia Yi to absorb some of that resentment, while Xia Yi suspected the Plane Master had guided Wujin to Eastsea Academy to make the resentment consume him.

• Wujin told Xia Yi that he was not truly the Snow Jade Lion Emperor, but an avenger pieced together from Soul Beast souls and essence.

• Wujin asked Xia Yi to absorb some of the spirits' resentment, but Xia Yi refused to risk becoming an Evil Spirit Master without a reason.
• Wujin blamed Gu Yue's inaction for the resentment now threatening to break free and control him.
• Xia Yi suspected the Plane Master had guided Wujin to Eastsea Academy so the resentment would consume him.

Xia Yi agreed to help Wujin absorb the resentment in exchange for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Phoenix Flower, which could improve his cultivation and talent. After beginning the attempt, Xia Yi was overwhelmed by icy power and woke in his dormitory, frozen stiff.

• Xia Yi learned the flower could accelerate cultivation and improve his body and meridians, then agreed to help with strict conditions.
• Wujin told Xia Yi to meditate and absorb resentment instead of the energy of heaven and earth.
• Xia Yi began meditating, felt icy power fill his body, and froze stiff.
• A voice called Xia Yi awake, and he found himself in the dormitory as Wujin anxiously asked whether he was alright.

After absorbing Wujin’s resentment through Deep Meditation, Xia Yi gained Soul Power but learned that more resentment could harm his body. At Eastsea Academy, Long Hengxu asked Wujin whether he would join Zero Class.

• Wujin told Xia Yi that he had absorbed resentment for nearly an entire night while in Deep Meditation, bringing his Soul Power close to level eleven and a half.
• Wujin warned Xia Yi that he needed to recover before absorbing more resentment, then reaffirmed that he would give Xia Yi the Ice Phoenix Flower he had promised.

• Ye Yingluo took Xia Yi and Wujin to register their student records and told Wujin to make a rational choice when speaking with Long Hengxu.
• Long Hengxu asked Wujin whether he was willing to join Zero Class.

Long Hengxu and Ye Yingluo tried to recruit Wujin into Zero Class, but he refused, saying he had his own way to manage the resentment in his body and would enter Shrek Academy when ready. The chapter left Wujin intent on becoming strong enough to join the Blood God Legion, while Xia Yi remained tied to helping him absorb resentment.

• Long Hengxu offered Wujin a place in Zero Class and promised academy resources, but Wujin refused.

• Wujin explained that he wanted to use Shrek Academy to grow strong enough to join the Blood God Legion.

Wujin rejected Long Hengxu’s attempts to recruit him into Zero Class, while Xia Yi reflected on his uncertain goals and lack of interest in Shrek Academy. After class, Xia Yi met Gu Yue in the cafeteria, where she doubted his claim that he had just broken through.

• Long Hengxu urged Wujin to join Zero Class to improve his chances of entering Shrek Academy, but Wujin refused and claimed he and Xia Yi could succeed from First Class.
• Xia Yi said he was not interested in Shrek Academy and thought about his weak sense of belonging to the Star Dou Forest, his admiration for Wujin, and his wish to cultivate and recover his memories.

• Xia Yi struggled through a First Class lesson on the Second Profession, then found the cafeteria and noticed how much better Zero Class’s Grade A Meals were.
• Gu Yue saw Xia Yi looking unwell and asked what had happened; Xia Yi said he had broken through, but Gu Yue doubted him.

• Xia Yi revealed that his Soul Power had reached level eleven and said he expected to reach Two-Ring within a year.
• Gu Yue bought Xia Yi an expensive Grade A Meal after he complained about her offer to treat him.
• Xia Yi asked Gu Yue to explain Second Professions because he had missed lessons and knew little about Mechas or Battle Armor.
• Gu Yue explained that Battle Armor Masters needed skills such as designing, making, or repairing their armor, while Forging was another possible Second Profession.
• Gu Yue advised Xia Yi to try Forging because it relied on strength and a God-Rank Blacksmith could help all Soul Beasts.

Xia Yi went to the Eastsea City Blacksmith Association to learn forging, only to discover that joining required a letter of introduction. After learning that blacksmith rank assessments were free, he decided to take one as a way to begin learning and improve his chances of joining.

• Gu Yue warned Xia Yi that the Douluo Continent could have only one God-Rank Blacksmith, so he could not forge for Soul Beasts, and Xia Yi considered learning forging.

• Wu Qian accepted Xia Yi’s challenge and let him watch her test, while Xia Yi pretended to meditate and prepared to remember Ao Chuang’s instructions.

Xia Yi watched Wu Qian take her first-level blacksmith test and carefully learned Ao Chuang’s Forging instructions. After Wu Qian passed, Xia Yi chose Crimson Flame Copper and began preparing for his own test.

• Ao Chuang warned Wu Qian to steady her mind before the evaluator arrived to assess her.
• Wu Qian chose Crimson Flame Copper and used a Thousand Refinement Hammer to purify it while Ao Chuang coached her and Xia Yi watched closely.
• The evaluator awarded Wu Qian a score of sixty-three, making her a first-level blacksmith.
• Xia Yi chose Crimson Flame Copper, heated it on the Forging Table, and took a twenty-kilogram Hundred Refinement Hammer from the wall.

After he earned fifteen thousand Federal Coins for his component, the evaluator alerted Chairman Mu Chen, who ordered Xia Yi’s information and test footage sent to his office.

• Xia Yi struck Crimson Flame Copper with two fifty-kilogram hammers, earning a score of ninety-five for purification roughly four times better than Hundred Refinement.
