As bidding for the embryo reached 150 million Gold Soul Coins, two men in VIP Room Three plotted to learn who had bid and seize it.

• Brother Sky Dream told Huo Yuhao that the Snow Empress faced a seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation within ten years and that he intended to make her Huo Yuhao's second martial soul after the tournament.
• Huo Yuhao remained reluctant to give up the auctioned embryo, and Wang Dong promised to bring it to him by the next day without explaining how.

The chapter ended with multiple groups preparing to claim the embryo and the Star Luo Empire setting its next plan in motion.

• The bald man and his companions decided not to seize the embryo directly, choosing instead to identify its buyer while they searched for the young master and planned to kill the reincarnated Angel God.
• A young girl's voice told Uncle Qing and Uncle Tai Tan that she wanted the auction item brought to her the next day.

• The Star Luo Emperor questioned Qingya about seeing Great Empress Ren before, then left with Princess Jiujiu while pondering what he had learned.

• Several figures raced through the gray mist toward the summit, then a sharp sword cry sounded ahead and stung everyone’s skin.

After the fog lifted, hundreds of hunters charged the six figures atop the bald mountain, and a voice sent them to their deaths as colossal beast phantoms appeared.

Yu Bai watched the final lineup and wondered why Shrek still had confidence against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy Team.

• Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao fixed their angry gazes on Jiang Nannan and the other five, while Wang Yan recalled the devastating battle and called on Shrek's team to defend its glory.
• Yu Bai arrived with the Ice Empress, saw his six disciples in good spirits, and wondered why Shrek had fielded only three official team members against such powerful opponents.

• Xu Sanshi, Ma Xiaotao, and Dai Yueheng each shouted “Ring Explosion” and “Soul Explosion Art” as they faced the encircled opponents.

• The six Shrek members surrounded Jiang Nannan and the others, unleashing power that looked like they were about to self-detonate.
• Jiang Nannan and her teammates braced for the blast, but saw the Shrek members protected by Invincible Golden Light, an eighth-level Soul Tool.
