• Dugu Bo told Chen Feng that he had traveled overseas with a clan to search for possible Ice and Water Attribute Immortal Herbs near the Extreme North.
• Dugu Bo identified the clan as the Shui clan.

Dugu Bo told Chen Feng how he obtained a Water Attribute lotus seed overseas, which transformed his martial soul and raised his Soul Power to rank ninety-three. Chen Feng recognized the serpent’s resemblance to Xiangliu and suggested Dugu Bo pass his powerful martial soul down, but Dugu Bo turned the suggestion back on Chen Feng’s master.

• Dugu Bo explained that he and the Shui Family fought off a school of sharks to reach an island, where they found one twin-stemmed immortal herb bearing an Ice Attribute lotus seed and a Water Attribute lotus seed.

Back at the dormitory, Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong abandoned the idea of making her support-focused Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda fight, and the dean’s bell rang as they were about to go inside.

• Dugu Bo fulfilled his promise by letting Chen Feng’s Tai Chi Bagua Sword absorb his blood, and Chen Feng explained his incomplete martial spirit.

• Ning Rongrong showed Chen Feng a scratch on her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from striking rocks, and Chen Feng admitted that his combat experiment had overlooked its lack of strength.
• Chen Feng told Ning Rongrong to focus on support and self-preservation rather than trying to make her pagoda a combat weapon.
• A familiar bell rang as Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong were about to enter the dormitory, signaling that the dean had likely returned.

Shrek Academy prepared to relocate to Heaven Dou City and merge with Blue Tyrant Academy, while Chen Feng speculated about Tang Hao’s absence and the Blue Silver Emperor’s sapling. Tang Hao finally summoned Tang San, leaving him to speak with his father about his origins and recent events.

• Flender announced Shrek Academy’s move to Heaven Dou City and introduced Liu Erlong as Blue Tyrant Academy’s dean and a member of the Golden Iron Triangle.

Chen Feng explored Soul Power compression and planned a cautious Thesis on liquefying Soul Power to reduce the difficulty of advancing to Title Douluo without giving Spirit Hall too much advantage. He then developed a weak-current technique from Swift Thunder, while Tang San returned after learning the truth about his mother and praised Chen Feng’s insight.

• Chen Feng failed to compress his Soul Power, reflected on the three states of Soul Power, and drafted a Thesis proposal focused on Soul Power liquefaction rather than solid Soul Cores.
• Chen Feng began adapting Swift Thunder to stimulate his cells, but his attempts to copy the Flying Lightning Rat’s circulation route caused him to cough up blood.
• Chen Feng changed his approach and used the energy of Wrath of Vengeance to create weak electric currents throughout his body.
• Tang San returned after speaking with Tang Hao, learned that the Blue Silver Emperor had not completely died, and was told to heed Chen Feng’s advice.
• Chen Feng succeeded in making weak currents continuously stimulate his cells, and he explained to Tang San that the technique was a Derivative Spirit Skill.

Chen Feng introduced Tang San to the Back Flash technique and helped him find a way to include Oscar in poison experiments with Meng Yiran. He then proposed Spirit Power Liquefaction to Flender, Grandmaster, and Liu Erlong, whose attempt made her Soul Power mist-like and showed the idea could work.

Chen Feng persuaded Flender to rename the merged academy Nine-Headed Serpent Academy, and the Shrek group left their old home for Heaven Dou City. The journey began with Flender putting the students through a demanding running exercise, while a black-robed man followed them from a distance.

• Liu Erlong and Flender partially compressed their Soul Power into mist, and Chen Feng planned further tests to learn whether Soul Saints could eventually liquefy it.
• Chen Feng convinced Flender to rename the merged academy Nine-Headed Serpent Academy, arguing that the name might win Poison Douluo’s goodwill and help the new academy attract talent.
• Several days later, Flender led the teachers and students away from Shrek Academy; he decided a new name would signify a genuine merger with Blue Tyrant Academy rather than one academy swallowing the other.
• A middle-aged man in black robes emerged after the group departed and followed them from afar.
• After the group passed through Suotuo City, Flender began a fast-paced running exercise, and Chen Feng organized the students so they could keep up and help one another.

The students endured Flender’s grueling run to a town, relying on Oscar’s Recovery Tofu, Shao Xin’s Sugar Beans, and Ning Rongrong’s boosts. That night, Xiao Wu sought Tang San’s attention, and Chen Feng began teasing her by hinting at a past conversation about Meng Yiran, leaving her pressing Tang San for answers.

• Flender led the students on a long run while Chen Feng organized support for those struggling, including Meng Yiran.

• Chen Feng teased Xiao Wu into misunderstanding Tang San's conversation with Meng Yiran, and Xiao Wu stormed out before learning the truth.
• The group reached Silvis City, where Flender treated them to an expensive meal and revealed he intended to make money by entering them in a team battle.
• Chen Feng convinced Flender to choose a Level 30 Silver Spirit Fighting Team as Hydra's opponent, despite the team's lack of team-battle experience.
• Chen Feng selected the Hydra members, excluding Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, and explained the team's tactic.
• The Great Soul Arena opened betting on the battle, and the odds heavily favored the established Silver Spirit Fighting Team.

The Hydra Team won its first team battle by using Tang San’s flash attack to blind the Kailin Team, though the spectators erupted in anger. After reaching Heaven Dou City, Chen Feng and Tang San went to find Dugu Bo, but his estate was shut, so they headed for Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

• Flender wagered fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins on the Hydra Team to win, and Chen Feng told Xiao Wu she could use close combat in the battle.

After Xue Beng’s group mocked them, Chen Feng revealed that he had come to see Poison Douluo, and Xue Beng sent for Dugu Yan; Chen Feng was left disappointed by Xue Beng’s contempt for commoners.

• Chen Feng and Tang San arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Chen Feng criticized its noble-only admissions while weighing whether the Heaven Dou Empire was worth supporting.
• Xue Beng and the academy’s noble students blocked Chen Feng and Tang San, mocked their appearance, and ordered them to leave.
• Chen Feng said he had come to see Poison Douluo, and Xue Beng ordered a student to bring Dugu Yan so she could confirm their claim.
• The students who had mocked Chen Feng and Tang San fled after realizing the visitors might know Poison Douluo, while Xue Beng stayed to question Chen Feng.
• Xue Beng said he looked down on commoners, and Chen Feng showed disappointment in him.

Chen Feng judged Xue Beng’s contempt for commoners and met Xue Qinghe, whose Light Attribute awakened a response from Chen Feng’s Yang Sword. After Xue Qinghe escorted Chen Feng and Tang San into Heaven Dou Royal Academy to find Dugu Bo, she ordered an attendant to investigate Nine-Headed Serpent Academy, while Dugu Yan learned Chen Feng had written the Foundation Building Method.

• After Chen Feng and Tang San met Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Xue Qinghe asked an attendant to investigate Nine-Headed Serpent Academy.
• Dugu Bo revealed that Chen Feng had written the Foundation Building Method, and Chen Feng encouraged Dugu Yan before Tang San reflected on the regrets he had felt before his death.

Chen Feng and Tang San accompanied Dugu Bo to his herb garden, where Tang San identified rare immortal herbs and recognized the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The discovery excited Tang Hao because the well could accelerate plant growth, prompting him to reveal that Tang San’s mother had been a Soul Beast.

• Dugu Yan reunited with Yu Tianheng at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and left with him for class while Dugu Bo, Chen Feng, and Tang San went to Dugu Bo’s estate.

• Dugu Bo sensed a powerful follower near Sunset Forest, but the stranger revealed himself as Tang Hao, Tang San’s father.
• Dugu Bo took Chen Feng, Tang San, and Tang Hao to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which Tang San recognized as a place that could accelerate plant growth.
• Tang Hao asked Dugu Bo to keep a secret and revealed that Tang San’s mother had been a Soul Beast.

Tang Hao revealed that Tang San’s mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and Dugu Bo agreed to let her Blue Silver Emperor seed grow beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Tang San and Dugu Bo then discussed using Tang San’s compound-poison method, while Chen Feng pointed out a herb he wanted Tang San to use to investigate the Lightning Yuan Stone.

• Tang Hao told Dugu Bo that Tang San’s mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast whose soul remained in a seed, and Dugu Bo agreed to let Tang Hao bring her to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Tang San examined the herbs and offered to teach Dugu Bo how to make compound toxins, hoping to use the garden’s plants for his poison-making.
• Chen Feng suggested that compound toxins could help Dugu Bo develop his Xiangliu martial soul, and Dugu Bo agreed to let Tang San use the herbs if he could observe the process.
• Tang San offered to explain the herbs to Dugu Bo, while Chen Feng identified the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and hoped Tang San could use it to examine the Lightning Yuan Stone.
• Dugu Bo offered the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to Chen Feng, but Chen Feng said he wanted Tang San to use it instead.

Chen Feng let Tang San use the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which advanced Tang San's Purple Demon Eye and revealed patterns inside the Lightning Yuan Stones. Tang San advised Chen Feng to take the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot so he could safely endure the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Chen Feng agreed to proceed with them.

• Chen Feng let Tang San drink dew directly from the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and the herb survived with enough vitality to produce more dew in a few years.
• Tang San cultivated beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while Dugu Bo shielded Chen Feng from its dangerous environment, then Dugu Bo offered Chen Feng several herbs as a gift.
• Tang San awakened with his Purple Demon Eye advanced to the Mustard Seed Realm and saw that several Lightning Yuan Stones contained nearly identical patterns.
• Chen Feng and Tang San considered using Blue Silver Grass to model the patterns, but Dugu Bo warned them they could not remain near the well for long.
• Tang San explained that consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot could let Chen Feng withstand the well, and Chen Feng agreed to take both herbs.
