Alarmed by the attention Xiao Yan’s work was attracting, Dugu Bo set out to bring Xiao Lin and the others to his Medicine Garden for protection, spotting suspicious figures on the way.

• Xiao Lin told Qin Ming that he, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni had no time to join the exchange match, so Qin Ming considered relying on Yu Feng and Osler.

• Qin Ming gave Xiao Lin the Ten Thousand Year Wind Chasing Left Arm Bone, which the Three Instructors had deemed unsuitable for themselves.

• Ci Xue sensed the black-robed Titled Douluo, stopped following the carriage, and rushed to report the discovery to Qian Renxue.

After returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Lin absorbed its spiritual energy and evolved his Chaos Right Leg Bone while Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni settled in. The chapter left Xiao Lin considering ways to convert or add Ice Fire attributes to other Soul Bones so they could be strengthened.

• Tang Hao killed several spies near Heaven Dou City after realizing Xiao Lin had stirred up trouble around Tang San, while Ci Xue escaped.
• Five days later, Xiao Lin and the others returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Tang Ni sensed powerful Dragon Qi and Xiao Wu was overwhelmed by the Ice Fire Spiritual Energy.
• Tang San observed Xiao Lin absorbing the spiritual energy into his Chaos Right Leg Bone, which was evolving along with his soul power and Bloodline Power.
• Dugu Bo told Tang San to cultivate at the well and disguise themselves if they went out, then left as Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni prepared a room.
• Xiao Lin learned from the Ice Fire Dragon King that the Chaos Right Leg Bone could evolve because the ability was inherent to it, then considered using Ice Fire attributes to strengthen other Soul Bones.

After his Chaos Right Leg Bone evolved into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Xiao Lin gained a powerful Chaos Domain and reached Soul Power Level 48. While discussing newly identified Immortal Herbs with Tang San, he considered using the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s age-reversal ability to awaken a Second Spirit.

• Tang San showed Xiao Lin an Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an earth-attributed treasure suited to dragon spirits, but Xiao Lin decided to save it for later.
• Xiao Lin realized the Earth Dragon Golden Melon could complete his five elements and wondered whether the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could turn him into a six-year-old so he could awaken a Second Spirit.

Xiao Lin prepared to hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with help from the Two Great Dragon Kings, then discussed immortal herbs and demonstrated his Soul Bone Charging Theory to Tang San, Tang Ni, and Xiao Wu. He proposed that Soul Power Arrays could add or amplify soul bone skills, while keeping his idea of strengthening soul bones through long-term absorption to himself.

• Xiao Lin asked the Two Great Dragon Kings for help killing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and they said their assistance and his future Hundred-Thousand-Year soul rings would make the hunt feasible once he became a Soul Saint.
• Tang San explained several new immortal herbs to Xiao Lin, while Tang Ni thought of bringing rare plants from the Star Dou Great Forest for Tang San to identify.
• Tang San asked Xiao Lin about his soul bone research, and Xiao Lin demonstrated that infused soul bones could fire Qi Gong Waves carrying his soul power.
• Tang San inferred that soul bones could store soul power for later use, and Xiao Lin confirmed this before explaining his deeper idea of carving Soul Power Arrays into them.
• Xiao Lin proposed combining arrays with existing soul bone skills to create or amplify skills, but kept his idea of strengthening soul bones through long-term absorption to himself.

• Xiao Lin outlined how Sea God's power and Soul Power Arrays might strengthen soul bones and enable simulated absorption, but put the larger research on hold.
• Xiao Lin gave Tang San the Wind Chasing Left Arm Bone to inscribe with a Soul Power Array for testing.
• Ci Xue reported to Qian Renxue that a hidden Titled Douluo had slaughtered secret agents tracking Xiao Lin’s group, so Qian Renxue decided to invite Xiao Lin herself.
• Bibi Dong studied ancient records linking the Sea God to faith and Soul Tool craftsmanship, then Yue Guan told her that Grandmaster Xiao Yan had joined Qian Renxue’s faction.

Bibi Dong accepted the Rakshasa God Eighth Exam and began looking for another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to meet its demanding Soul Bone requirement. Meanwhile, Flender and the Shrek Academy group arrived in Heaven Dou City and were met with skepticism when they asked for directions to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

• Bibi Dong ordered Yue Guan to continue searching for Xiao Lin and prevent Qian Renxue from contacting Xiao Yan and the others.
• Bibi Dong accepted the Rakshasa God Eighth Exam, which required her Soul Bones to average over ninety thousand years and would increase each Soul Bone's age by ten thousand years.
• Bibi Dong worried that her two arm bones might not meet the requirement and went to the Library of Spirit Hall to research suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• After Qin Ming invited them, the Shrek Academy group traveled to Heaven Dou City, where Ma Hongjun and Oscar gawked at the city and its girls while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing reacted.
• Flender asked Heaven Dou Royal Academy students for directions, but they questioned whether his group could participate in an exchange tournament against the Royal Fight Team.

Flender brought the Shrek group to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where Qin Ming warned that Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire had invaded his heart and could turn him into a cripple or a Fallen One. Qin Ming’s diagnosis cast doubt on Yu Xiaogang’s training advice, leaving the group alarmed and suspicious of him.

• A student at Heaven Dou Royal Academy doubted Flender’s story until Ma Hongjun displayed his martial soul and soul rings, then agreed to take the group to Qin Ming.
• Qin Ming welcomed Flender and recognized that Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire had become dangerous, warning that he might become a cripple if it was not cured.
• Flender and the Shrek group reacted with shock as Qin Ming explained that Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire had invaded his heart and was guiding him toward evil thoughts.
• Qin Ming attributed his flame sensitivity to finding the Immortal Herb Flame Spirit Grass and insisted that a Phoenix Bloodline soul ring could no longer solve Ma Hongjun’s condition.
• Qin Ming described Ma Hongjun as obedient on the surface but lacking basic moral principles, prompting everyone to look toward Yu Xiaogang, who had advised strengthening Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire.

Qin Ming explained that Ma Hongjun’s condition required a pure-blooded Phoenix soul ring, leaving Flender desperate until Yu Xiaogang proposed several unreliable remedies. The chapter ended with Flender pushing for a match against the Royal Fight Team so Ma Hongjun could qualify for Ultimate Ice resources.

• Qin Ming said Ma Hongjun would ultimately need a soul ring from a pure-blooded Phoenix Soul Beast over a Hundred-Thousand-Year old, and Flender blamed Yu Xiaogang and attacked him.
• Yu Xiaogang suggested cutting off Ma Hongjun’s manhood and offered other possible cures, while Qin Ming criticized his ideas and warned against sacrificing Oscar’s future.
• Oscar promised to help Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai promised to search for Immortal Herbs, while Flender considered forcing Ma Hongjun to cultivate in the Extremely North Land.
• Flender asked whether Heaven Dou Royal Academy had Ultimate Ice resources, and Qin Ming said Ma Hongjun could qualify for them if Shrek defeated the Royal Fight Team.
• Yu Xiaogang became confident that Shrek’s Four-in-One Fusion Skill would win and resented Flender for doubting him.

Shrek Academy faced Yu Feng and Osler in a three-on-three match after Qin Ming chose Zhu Zhuqing for their team. The battle began with Yu Feng cutting apart Oscar’s support sausages and Osler vanishing, but Dai Mubai’s transformation revealed Osler’s position.

• Qin Ming explained that the Royal Fight Team could field only Yu Feng and Osler, and Yu Xiaogang accepted the three-on-three rules rather than face Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong.
• Qin Ming selected Zhu Zhuqing to join Shrek Academy, and both teams announced their martial souls and Soul Power Levels.
• Yu Feng and Osler were startled by Shrek Academy’s Soul Power Levels and decided to fight seriously despite Qin Ming’s instruction to hold back.
• The fighters transformed, and Yu Feng flew into the air before slicing Oscar’s sausages in half with a streak of Yellow Wind.
• Osler disappeared at high speed while Zhu Zhuqing failed to notice his movement, so Dai Mubai used his Third Soul Skill and exposed Osler by rushing to Oscar’s side.
