• Mu En explained that Shrek Academy’s greatest trump card was the Semi-God Rank Golden Tree and that Chen Feng’s Tangible and Substantial Spiritual Power qualified him to borrow its power.
• Mu En taught Chen Feng to communicate with the Golden Tree and draw on its power, and after a day golden energy surrounded Chen Feng as the space around him distorted.

Chen Feng learned to borrow the Golden Tree’s power and received Mu En’s Dragon Core to help him form a second Soul Core. As Mu En prepared for his death, he entrusted Bei Bei with his final instructions and ordered him to stay safe within Shrek Academy until he became a Titled Douluo.

Chen Feng demonstrated his Limit Douluo-level power through the Golden Tree, took command of the Academy, and stood over Sea God Island ready to lead a new era.

• Mu En used the Golden Tree’s Light Energy to stabilize Bei Bei’s bloodline, and Bei Bei fell asleep as golden lightning flickered across him.

Ma Xiaotao told him about her soul hunt, Bei Bei mourned Mu En while examining his inheritance, and Du Busi led Body Sect experts toward Shrek City.

• Du Busi led Body Sect experts toward Shrek City, determined to teach Shrek Academy a lesson for injuring members of his sect.

Du Busi led nearly the entire Body Sect to Shrek Academy to confront Chen Feng, believing the academy had no one who could stop him. Shrek’s powerhouses gathered to face the invaders, and Chen Feng appeared to challenge Du Busi directly.

• Chen Feng’s golden Blade Glow broke through Du Busi’s attack and carved a deep wound across his chest.

• Chen Feng wounded Du Busi and explained that the Golden Tree’s power strained his body, though his recovery kept pace with the damage.
• Du Busi unleashed his Gold-grade Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, and the two Limit Douluo-level fighters exchanged attacks that shook the sky and damaged Shrek Academy.
• Shrek Academy and Body Sect fighters stopped battling below and watched as Chen Feng’s strength earned the Body Sect experts’ respect and worried Shrek’s elders.
• Chen Feng and Du Busi traded increasingly fierce attacks, while Du Busi’s Soul Power rapidly dwindled under the cost of his Second Awakening.
• After half an hour, Du Busi ran out of Soul Power, and Chen Feng pierced his chest with the Soul Breaking Blade.

Chen Feng defeated Du Busi in their battle, then negotiated compensation from the Body Sect instead of killing him. The Body Sect withdrew from Shrek Academy, and news of the battle spread across the Douluo Continent.

• Chen Feng pierced Du Busi with the Black Blade while Xuan Zi and Shrek Academy's experts prevented the Body Sect from reaching their Sect Master.

• Chen Feng’s name spread across the Douluo Continent, and several days later Chen Qiu’er entered Shrek City on the academy’s opening day.

Chen Qiu'er arrived in Shrek City to find Chen Feng, while Snow Empress also sought admission to Shrek’s Inner Courtyard. As Chen Feng’s former classmates settled onto Sea God Island and began their studies, both women passed the Inner Courtyard assessment, leaving Chen Feng surprised that Xuan Zi had found two exceptional applicants.

• Chen Qiu'er heard people in Shrek City say that Chen Feng had become Sea God Pavilion Master and defeated Du Busi, but she assumed they meant someone else with the same name.
• Chen Qiu'er presented a recommendation letter at the registration office and requested an Inner Courtyard assessment, then Snow Empress arrived and submitted her own letter.
• Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and the other new Inner Courtyard students arrived on Sea God Island and completed their enrollment with Zhang Lexuan.
• Chen Qiu'er defeated a Soul Emperor-level student with one punch, and Snow Empress froze her opponent; Xuan Zi declared both applicants had passed and sent Teacher Wu to process their enrollment.
• Xuan Zi went to Chen Feng’s office to report that two exceptionally talented candidates had passed, and Chen Feng wondered who the second one was because he had arranged for only Snow Empress.

Chen Feng learned that Chen Qiu'er, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, had enrolled at Shrek Academy and decided to keep her safe while preparing for the dangerous upcoming Soul Battle Competition. He cultivated with Mu En's Dragon Core, while Chen Qiu'er searched Sea God Island for him and Snow Empress approached her.

• Xuan Zi told Chen Feng that two young women, one with the Ancestor of Power Golden Dragon Martial Soul and one with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, had passed the Inner Courtyard assessment, and proposed placing them on Shrek Academy's competition team.
• Chen Feng recognized the Golden Dragon Martial Soul as belonging to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and decided to watch over Chen Qiu'er, fearing danger to her could provoke Di Tian and the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Chen Feng agreed to hold Inner Courtyard trials for the competition team, then considered how to profit from the coming contest's hidden conflict between the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire.
• Chen Feng reviewed his rewards, set aside the Hundred Thousand Year Giant Blue Whale Head Bone for a woman he had not yet chosen, and began slowly absorbing Mu En's Dragon Core in the Golden Tree's underground chamber.
• Chen Qiu'er wandered around Sea God Island searching for Chen Feng, and Snow Empress came over and asked what she was looking for.

Chen Qiu'er entered Shrek’s Inner Courtyard, attracted attention with her beauty and rank, and searched unsuccessfully for Chen Feng. As Chen Feng considered changes to the academy and devised a way to keep Snow Empress close, he asked her to become his disciple.

• Snow Empress approached Chen Qiu'er on Sea God Island, but Chen Qiu'er rebuffed her and went to the Inner Courtyard canteen.
• Chen Qiu'er revealed she was eighteen and had Soul Power rank sixty-one, stunning the students, while Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng arrived and drew attention as new beauties.
• Chen Feng and Zhang Lexuan discussed the academy’s leadership and finances, while Chen Feng planned to manage the Inner Courtyard directly and make careful personnel changes.
• Chen Qiu'er moved into her assigned loft, regretted that she could not enter Sea God Pavilion to find Chen Feng, and decided to try again later.
• Chen Feng met Snow Empress the next morning and, hoping to justify keeping her close, asked whether she wanted to become his disciple.
