• Tang Wulin watched public opinion turn against Shrek Academy after its defeat and Yu Tianxuan’s death, then told Wu Zhangkong he would not apply to Shrek.
• Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan agreed to attend Sun Moon Royal, and Wu Zhangkong supported their decision.
• Leng Yulai rewarded Lu Jun with an Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone and guarded him as he absorbed it.
• The Ice Abyss Sword consumed most of the soul bone’s energy, while Lu Jun gained one level and reached Soul Power Level thirty-five.
• Lu Jun noticed the Ice Abyss Sword had grown slightly brighter and resolved to find more energy for it before returning to Mingdu with Leng Yulai.

On the return train to Mingdu, Lu Jun sensed that Gu Yue Na’s spirit had left her body, while her powerful Spirit Projection confronted Tang Wulin’s group on another train. Gu Yue Na isolated Tang Wulin from his companions, and Tang Hao appeared to protect him as she prepared to face him.

• Tang Hao appeared with his Clear Sky Hammer to defend Tang Wulin and accused Gu Yue Na of starting a war.
• Gu Yue Na dismissed Tang Hao’s warning with a cold, mocking smile.

• Wu Zhangkong, Long Bing, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan recovered with gaps in their memories, while Tang Wulin felt weak and realized something vital had been taken from him.

After Gu Yue Na removed Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King Bloodline and seal, the Life Goddess’s Blessing saved him and awakened his suppressed potential. He regained consciousness with level 20 Soul Power and a second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, leaving Wu Zhangkong and the others stunned.

• Tang Wulin collapsed in the carriage after Gu Yue Na forcibly removed his bloodline and seal, and the Life Goddess’s Blessing erupted to heal him.

• Wu Zhangkong checked Tang Wulin and sensed that his Soul Power was pure and dense, his Clear Sky Hammer was stable, and a vast Life Aura remained within him.

Tang Wulin revealed his twin Martial Souls to Wu Zhangkong, who ordered the students to keep the Clear Sky Hammer secret. Meanwhile, Gu Yue Na obtained the Golden Dragon King Bloodline but postponed fusing with it, then returned to the carriage where Lu Jun quietly sensed something was amiss.

• Tang Wulin told Wu Zhangkong that he felt well but could not remember a terrible dream, and Wu Zhangkong warned him, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan to keep his twin Martial Souls secret.

• Lu Jun noticed a brief spatial ripple around Gu Yue Na, but she casually dismissed his concern and silently resolved to make him hers.

Lu Jun returned to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy after winning the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition and received a mysterious reward from the Dean. He discovered it was an ancient Ice Dragon Right Claw Bone nearly one hundred thousand years old and began absorbing it with Ice Empress's help.

• The Dean and academy staff welcomed Lu Jun, Gu Yue Na, and the other competitors home and praised their victory over Shrek.
• The academy distributed rewards to the returning students, and the Dean gave Lu Jun a special package wrapped in Dark Silver Metallic Thread.
• Lu Jun opened the package in his dormitory and found a powerful Ice Attribute soul bone shaped like a dragon's right claw.
• Ice Empress identified it as a purified true-dragon-grade Ice Dragon Right Claw Bone, close to one hundred thousand years old and capable of evolving into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Lu Jun decided to absorb the soul bone, and Ice Empress offered to guide its fusion as he pressed it against his right hand.

Lu Jun absorbed the Ice Dragon Right Claw Bone’s power, gained a level and a new Soul Bone Skill, then learned that his tournament victory had earned him a special reward. Leng Yaozhu brought him to the Spirit Pagoda’s secret realm hub, where he saw the entrance to the Undead Plane.

• Lu Jun absorbed most of the Ice Dragon Right Claw Bone’s energy into the Ice Abyss Sword, reached level thirty-six, and gained a powerful single-target Ice Attribute Soul Bone Skill.

Leng Yaozhu brought Lu Jun to the Spirit Pagoda’s core Secret Realm and explained how Huo Yuhao’s Undead Plane had helped end the Evil Soul Master crisis. As they explored the Ancestor’s Tomb, Lu Jun learned more about Huo Yuhao’s legacy, though the location of his remains remained unknown.

• Leng Yaozhu explained that Huo Yuhao created the Undead Plane and that the Spirit Pagoda used it to turn controlled Evil Soul Masters’ contracts with undead creatures into safe Spirit Souls.
• Leng Yaozhu led Lu Jun through a silver portal to Huo Yuhao’s statue, where they both bowed in respect.
• Leng Yaozhu told Lu Jun that Huo Yuhao had not ascended to the God Realm, that his remains had never been found, and that he had left writings and a blessing for the Spirit Pagoda’s descendants.
• Leng Yaozhu guided Lu Jun through murals recounting Huo Yuhao’s life, including his departure from Shrek, the founding of the Spirit Pagoda, and the creation of the Undead Plane.
• Lu Jun saw murals showing Huo Yuhao’s revenge against the White Tiger Duke and the fall of the Star Luo Empire, but the records left the details unclear.

Leng Yaozhu brought Lu Jun to receive the Asura's Eye's spiritual baptism, but his Ice Abyss Sword unexpectedly began devouring the Divine Artifact's Spiritual Origin. As the sword transformed and Lu Jun's Spiritual Power surged, Asura's Eye's golden light visibly dimmed.

• Leng Yaozhu showed Lu Jun the Asura's Eye, a Divine Artifact created from Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power and left to bless worthy Spirit Pagoda members.
• Lu Jun agreed to undergo the baptism and stood beneath the floating Asura's Eye as Leng Yaozhu opened it.
• The Ice Abyss Sword broke through Lu Jun's spiritual barrier and began absorbing the Asura's Eye's Spiritual Origin.
• The sword's resistance shielded Lu Jun from much of the spiritual pressure, while the energy nourishing him rapidly strengthened his Spiritual Power.
• Asura's Eye remained calm as its golden radiance faded, and the Ice Abyss Sword grew sharper and began to show the bearing of a Divine Artifact.

Lu Jun’s Ice Abyss Sword consumed the energy stored in the Asura’s Eye and underwent a second awakening, greatly expanding his Spiritual Power and unlocking powerful new abilities. After Lu Jun retracted the ice that had engulfed the chamber, Leng Yaozhu revealed that he had drained nearly ten thousand years of energy from the artifact.

• Lu Jun ordered the chamber’s Mysterious Ice to recede, then noticed the Asura’s Eye had dimmed almost completely.
• Leng Yaozhu told Lu Jun that he had absorbed all the energy accumulated in the Asura’s Eye over nearly ten thousand years.

After draining the Asura’s Eye, Lu Jun returned to his quiet routine at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He agreed to accompany Long Chen into the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, where he could test his newly awakened power and seek an opportunity of his own.

• Leng Yaozhu explained that the Asura’s Eye had gone dormant after exhausting its stored energy and joked that Ancestor Huo Yuhao might be angry with Lu Jun for draining it.
• Lu Jun resumed his peaceful academy routine, eating lunch with Gu Yue Na while other students admired him from a distance.
• Long Chen told Lu Jun he had reached level thirty but could not advance because his Spirit Soul was only Hundred Year Level quality.
• Long Chen asked Lu Jun to accompany him into the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform during its Riot Period so he could try to raise his Spirit Soul to Thousand Year Level.
• Lu Jun agreed, planning to test his awakened abilities and possibly obtain the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s External Soul Bone.

Lu Jun took Long Chen to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform to help his Spirit Soul ascend, while leaving Gu Yue Na behind because she had class. Once inside, Lu Jun revealed three ten thousand year Spirit Souls and unleashed his Ice Abyss Domain, leaving Long Chen stunned as the forest froze around them.

• Lu Jun refused Gu Yue Na's offer to accompany him, and agreed to meet Long Chen at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters on Saturday.
• Spirit Pagoda staff greeted Lu Jun with unusual deference and guided him and Long Chen to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
• After they entered the platform, Lu Jun revealed his Ice Abyss Sword and three ten thousand year Soul Rings, shocking Long Chen.
• Lu Jun activated his Ice Abyss Domain, which froze and drained the surrounding forest while curving around Long Chen to protect him.

Lu Jun led Long Chen through the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, using his Ice Abyss Domain to freeze and devour everything in his path. The monitoring staff and other teams witnessed the devastation, and one team was wiped out after approaching the Ice Crystal Roses.

• Lu Jun used his Ice Abyss Domain to clear a path through the Spirit Ascension Platform while Long Chen followed in its safe circle.
• Lu Jun froze Spirit Beasts and absorbed their Spiritual Power, replenishing his Soul Power and strengthening the domain.
• Monitors at the Spirit Pagoda monitoring center saw deep-blue frost spread across the screens and recognized that Lu Jun was clearing the map again.
• A team of Soul Elders watched their Ironclad Rhinoceros and the surrounding area freeze as Lu Jun's domain swept toward them.
• A team of Soul Masters approached the Ice Crystal Roses, triggering explosions that froze and destroyed them.

Lu Jun used the Ice Abyss Domain to raise Long Chen’s Spirit Soul to a thousand years, then unleashed a new talent that turned the slain Spirit Beasts into an Ice Golem Legion. The allied Soul Masters’ attack collapsed as the golems charged them.

• The surviving Soul Master teams joined forces to find and defeat the source of the expanding ice domain.
