Zhuge Lan revealed that Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was considered worthless in his family, provoking Tang San into attacking him. After Zhuge Lan’s armor and soul skills incapacitated Tang San, he tried to recruit Dugu Bo to Shrek with the promise of a rare herb, but Dugu Bo declined for now.

Oscar’s Third Rank Purple Ganoderma strengthened his foundation, while Zhuge Lan gave Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar humiliating hairstyles before tempting them with Ice Fire Body Refining and the chance to evolve their Martial Souls by absorbing the Dragon Kings’ divine power.

Zhuge Lan manipulated the Shrek teachers, Dugu Bo, and the World Serpent Dragon couple into accepting Ice Fire Body Refining and choosing hairstyles by hinting that there were limited slots. As the ritual groups formed, Xiao Wu and Meng Yiran joined the girls’ group, leaving Tang San jealous and furious but still determined to endure Zhuge Lan for the benefits he wanted.

• Zhuge Lan rejected Dugu Bo’s offers and made the teachers’ hairstyle choices for them, provoking their frustration while making Dugu Bo fear he would miss out.

Zhuge Lan began refining Ice Fire Body Protection Pills at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, using Dugu Bo to power the furnace while Tang San suffered a humiliating ordeal. The furnace reached a dangerous stage, leaving Dugu Bo to choose between pulling away and ruining the batch or holding on through the risk of an explosion.

• Dugu Bo struck Tang San into a stone wall after realizing Tang San had stripped first, but Zhuge Lan's Holy Light revived him and restored what he had lost.
• Zhuge Lan used his newly acquired alchemy expertise to add herbs to the furnace, then tossed in the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
• As the furnace rumbled with explosive energy, Zhuge Lan warned Dugu Bo that removing his hand would ruin the batch, and Dugu Bo steeled himself to continue powering it.

Zhuge Lan used a deliberately explosive pill-making process to refine Ice Fire Body Refining pills, then subjected Tang San, Dugu Bo, Meng Shu, and Chao Tianxiang to an agonizing treatment that generated Emotional Value. Dugu Bo recovered at rank 92 and left to bring in the next batch of victims.

• Dugu Bo used his Martial Soul Avatar to contain the furnace explosion, and Zhuge Lan collected the resulting purple liquid and formed it into pills.

• Zhuge Lan put Flender’s group and the girls through ordeals, raising his balance to 40 million Emotional Value before Flender’s new kappa hairstyle yielded little more.
• Zhuge Lan picked the Aromatic Silk Beauty and announced that the group would lure Soul Beasts near the poison barrier in Sunset Forest.

• Zhuge Lan asked Zhu Zhuqing about her two new ten-thousand-year soul skills, and he found them strange.

Zhuge Lan assessed Zhu Zhuqing’s powerful new shadow-based soul skills, then helped Ning Rongrong obtain a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and demonstrate its extraordinary support abilities. Ning Rongrong ended the chapter with a fourth Soul Ring and potent defense buffs, while Dugu Bo recognized her growing potential.

• Dugu Bo eagerly found Ning Rongrong a 20,041-year-old Rock Turtle for her fourth Soul Ring, which raised her level and gave her fourth Soul Skill a 50% group defense boost.

After the students absorbed their new soul rings, Zhuge Lan raised his level and revealed Shrek Academy’s powerful lineup. Their glowing hairstyles turned out to come from soul-power-boosting dye, which the students accepted once they learned it improved their cultivation efficiency.

• Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Meng Yiran gained new soul skills and advanced to Levels 42, 32, and 35, respectively.

• Flender celebrated Shrek Academy’s formidable roster, then discovered that his and the students’ newly styled hair glowed green in the dark.
• Zhuge Lan explained that the dye absorbed ambient Soul Power and increased cultivation efficiency by about five percent, so the students decided to keep it.

Zhuge Lan persuaded the Ice Dragon Armor Beast that humans could track and hunt it, then offered it the Transformation Technique and a chance to become a God. The beast submitted to him as Bing Bing, but a sudden attack teleported Zhuge Lan to safety and revealed another powerful soul beast, the Yan Dragon, in Sunset Forest.

• The Ice Dragon Armor Beast froze the magma and charged underground to confront the Yan Dragon, while Zhuge Lan realized Sunset Forest held another hundred-thousand-year soul beast and vowed to kill it.

Zhuge Lan tracked the attacker to the underground cavern containing the Fire and Water Dragon Kings, stripped away divine senses, and reclaimed both corpses for 200 million Emotional Value. The Asura God King invited him to inherit his divine position in Slaughter City, while the Destruction God King briefly descended but failed to detect him.

• Zhuge Lan identified the fleeing Yan Dragon and Ice Dragon Armor Beast, then smashed and repaired his Level 7 Detection Soul Tool to vent his anger.

• Zhuge Lan escaped the collapsing cave, where Yan Dragon confronted him over the missing Dragon King corpses.
• Zhuge Lan used a Level 10 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon to blast through Yan Dragon, but the Ice Dragon Armor Beast explained that Yan Dragon's magma form was immune to damage and required mental attacks to kill.

• Zhuge Lan spent 20 million Emotional Value to upgrade his Sage's Eye to 2 million years, causing Flender, Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and others to swell with pregnancy while the Yan Dragon generated most of the Emotional Value.
