• Su Wen remained in Star Luo City for a month while adults and children who had awakened their Martial Souls stated their wishes when receiving their Soul Seals.

One month after Star Luo City Academy was transformed, Su Wen considered the challenge of keeping it independent as a Titled Douluo from the Great Soul Arena arrived.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived in Eastsea City and was surprised to find Su Wen accompanied by Zhan Tian Douluo.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo explained that Sea Soul Masters lived across the ocean’s islands and that their numbers reached half the Soul Masters on Douluo Continent.

• Su Wen said the academies were established, then announced a final step and began discussing problems with their current distribution.

Su Wen used the Soul Imprint Tomes across the continent to connect them and began constructing a Mountain of Books and Sea of Learning within an Illusion World. As the tomes resonated, their fluctuations changed and the one in Heaven Dou City seemed about to shatter.

• Su Wen used two soul bones and the Soul Imprint Tome to make the three academy tomes resonate, then linked Soul Imprint Tomes throughout the continent.

• Bibi Dong abandoned her plan to seize the Head Soul Bone after sensing Su Wen’s Space Method, and Su Wen left Spirit City after three days.
• Su Wen asked Zhan Tian Douluo what the Great Soul Arena could offer him in return for his help, then named his Soul Bone Armor research as an urgent project.

Su Wen used a question about Soul Bone Armor to contact the God of War, who invited him to the Inheritance Space. Meanwhile, Tang San tried to sense the World of Learning’s spatial fluctuations and believed he had figured out how to enter it.

• Su Wen explained the theory behind Soul Bone Armor and asked Zhan Tian Douluo to seek the God of War’s guidance.
• The God of War instructed Zhan Tian Douluo to bring Su Wen to his Inheritance Space when Su Wen had time.
• At Shrek Academy, Liu Erlong repeatedly forced three Soul Elders to enter and leave the World of Learning while Tang San sensed for its fluctuations.
• Tang San finally detected a faint fluctuation and excitedly told Liu Erlong he thought he could enter the World of Learning.

Su Wen received a surprisingly low-ranked trial from the God of War, who had adjusted its reward to provide the divine research insights Su Wen wanted. The trial tasked him with changing how Soul Masters obtained Soul Rings within ten years, leaving him to consider alternatives to hunting Soul Beasts.

• Su Wen told Zhan Tian Douluo that Sea God trials could grant multiple God-bestowed Soul Rings, prompting Zhan Tian Douluo to take him to receive the God of War's trial.
• God of War gathered God of Speed, God of Defense, and God of Wealth and asked them to share cultivation insights and research on God-bestowed Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

• Su Wen learned that he had ten years to change how Soul Masters obtained Soul Rings, with the reward of a deity's cultivation insights.

• Su Wen went to the imperial palace and asked 'Xue Qinghe' to help him borrow the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, offering Myriad Laws Tomes as collateral.
• 'Xue Qinghe' brought Su Wen to Xue Ye, who asked why he wanted the royal treasure, and Su Wen said he intended to go out to sea.
• Xue Ye judged Su Wen’s offer of ten pages of annual Myriad Laws Tomes insufficient, so Su Wen explained that he had published the Visualization Method for developing Mental Power.
• Xue Ye recognized the value of Myriad Laws Tomes paired with the Visualization Method and agreed to retrieve the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
