• Xiao Yun watched for Spirit Hall’s trump card as Hu Wanliu left the substitute area and took the field against Dugu Yan.

Spirit Hall unleashed its Demon Charm fusion skill, but Zhu Zhuqing’s clones held it off while Yu Tianheng stalled Yan and Xivia attacked Spirit Hall’s support fighters. Xivia forced Aoste out of the match and then turned toward Yan and Yu Tianheng’s battlefield.

• Hu Wanliu used Flame Possession to resist Dugu Yan’s poison, while Dugu Yan tried to exhaust his Soul Power and prepared her sixth soul skill.

• As Zhu Zhuqing prepared to support Xivia and Xivia kept Yan and Liu Huamei occupied, a sudden change occurred.

Yan entered Demon Charm’s lingering mist and joined Xie Yue and Hu Liena in an unprecedented three-person fusion, creating the Flame Nine-tailed Fox with power near the peak of the Soul Saint rank. After it devastated both teams, Xiao Yun finally raised his eyes as the surviving Heaven Dou fighters faced the beast.

• Yan forced Xivia back and plunged into Demon Charm’s pink mist, where his soul power fused with Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s to form the Flame Nine-tailed Fox.
• The Flame Nine-tailed Fox unleashed its immense pressure and attacked the arena, forcing Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others to evade its sweeping tails.
• The fox’s strikes knocked Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling out of the fight, while Xivia’s deflected blow sent Liu Huamei crashing to the arena floor.
• Only Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xivia remained for Heaven Dou Royal Academy as the Flame Nine-tailed Fox prepared to finish them.
• Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xivia looked toward Xiao Yun, and he finally raised his eyelids.

Zhu Zhuqing used her Fifth Spirit Skill, Dark Night Dragon Stripe Strike, to turn the Flame Nine-tailed Fox's overwhelming attack against it. The fox's fused consciousness severed and sacrificed its corrupted claw before the black dragon patterns could reach its body.

• The Flame Nine-tailed Fox brought its burning claw down toward Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xivia as spectators expected them to be defeated.
• Zhu Zhuqing summoned a black dragon-pattern dagger and struck a tiny energy node in the claw's palm.
• Zhu Zhuqing redirected the dagger for a second strike at the same point, causing black dragon patterns to spread through the claw and disrupt the fox's fused energy.
• Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan realized the patterns threatened their fusion and Martial Soul Origin, so Hu Liena ordered the claw severed.
• The Flame Nine-tailed Fox explosively detached its corrupted claw before the black patterns could reach its body.

Zhu Zhuqing’s Dark Night Dragon Stripe Strike severed the Flame Nine-tailed Fox’s claw and destabilized its fusion, turning the battle in Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s favor. The wounded fusion sacrificed a tail to restore its claw and began condensing a white-hot fireball as Bibi Dong ordered the arena barrier reinforced.

• Zhu Zhuqing’s second Dark Night Dragon Stripe Strike forced the Flame Nine-tailed Fox to sever its claw, leaving it badly injured and its fusion unstable.
• Dugu Yan and Xivia guarded Zhu Zhuqing while Ning Rongrong continued strengthening her, and Xiao Yun anticipated Dugu Yan’s turn to attack.
• The enraged Flame Nine-tailed Fox spent another tail to regrow its claw, leaving eight tails remaining.
• The Flame Nine-tailed Fox drew its flame energy into a white-hot fireball, raising the temperature and frightening spectators around the arena.
• Bibi Dong ordered Moon Guan and Ghostly to reinforce the arena barrier, and they appeared above the arena.

Dugu Yan fused several poisons into a colorful ball and launched it against the Flame Nine-tailed Fox's destructive fireball, while Xivia raised a barrier to protect her retreating teammates. As the two attacks neared collision, Xiao Yun finally moved to intervene.

• Moon Guan and Ghostly reinforced the Arena barrier to contain the white-hot fireball's destructive force.
• Zhu Zhuqing warned Dugu Yan that the attack was too powerful to withstand, and Dugu Yan prepared to counter it with her poisons.
• Dugu Yan fused her poisons, including lingering Charm poison mist, into a multicolored ball and shot it toward the fireball.
• Zhu Zhuqing helped the exhausted Dugu Yan retreat, while Xivia used Wind King Barrier to shield the team and Ning Rongrong's defense enhancement supported her.
• The Flame Nine-tailed Fox launched its white-hot fireball toward Dugu Yan's poison ball, and Xiao Yun moved just before the two attacks collided.

Xiao Yun shielded Xivia, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan from the imminent collision of Dugu Yan’s poison orb and the Flame Nine-tailed Fox’s fireball. To give the blast an escape route, he cut through the barrier above the arena, leaving the spectators and Titled Douluos stunned.

• Xiao Yun recognized that the poison and fire would create a catastrophic blast inside the reinforced arena barrier and stepped in to protect the fighters.
• Xiao Yun formed a Body-Protecting Sword Lotus that shielded Xivia, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan.
• The merged consciousness of Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan realized the poison orb and fireball could kill them all, but neither attack could be recalled.
• Xiao Yun decided to open the barrier to vent the coming explosion and sliced upward with a strand of Sword Qi.
• Xiao Yun split the arena barrier with a long fissure that widened into a huge opening, shocking the spectators and Titled Douluos.

Xiao Yun’s sword strike opened the barrier as his attack collided with the Golden Generation’s poison sphere, unleashing a catastrophic explosion across the arena. Heaven Dou Royal Academy was declared the winner, but Xiao Yun stopped the healers as they moved to carry away the unconscious Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan.

• Xiao Yun precisely cut a hole in the barrier maintained by Moon Guan and Ghostly, astonishing Bibi Dong and the spectators.
• Xiao Yun’s Fireball collided with the poison sphere, creating a devastating energy storm that blasted through the gap in the arena dome.
• Xiao Yun protected himself and the four women behind him with the Azure Sword Lotus Phantom while the storm destroyed the Flame Nine-tailed Fox.

• The referee declared Heaven Dou Royal Academy the winner, and Healing Type Soul Masters rushed to treat the unconscious Golden Generation.
• Xiao Yun told the healers to wait as they began carrying Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan away.

After Xiao Yun and Dugu Yan saved the injured Spirit Hall team, Heaven Dou Royal Academy celebrated its semifinal victory and advanced to the final against Shrek. The next day, Moon Guan brought a complaint claiming Xiao Yun was not a Soul Master, putting the victory and Heaven Dou’s place in the final at risk.

• Xiao Yun had Dugu Yan withdraw her poison from Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan, then used Immortal Spirit Energy to stabilize their injuries.
• Hu Liena briefly glimpsed Xiao Yun as he left, while Xiao Yun and his companions departed the arena amid the crowd’s uproar over Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s victory.
• The crowd declared that the final would be between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shrek, and Xiao Yun’s sword strike became the talk of the continent.
• The next day, Xiao Yun prepared medicinal cuisine at the barracks while Meng Shenji summoned him to meet Moon Guan and a tournament referee.
• Moon Guan told Xiao Yun that a formal complaint challenged his status as a Soul Master and argued that the semifinal result might be ruled invalid.

Xiao Yun answered a complaint that challenged his eligibility by revealing his Green Lotus Sword and six black Spirit Rings, then passed a bone-age test confirming he was nineteen. The complaint was dismissed, and Moon Guan privately told Xiao Yun that Shrek Academy had filed it.

• Xiao Yun challenged Moon Guan to produce evidence and summoned his Green Lotus Sword with six black Spirit Rings.

Xiao Yun watched Tang Hao secretly strengthen himself before the Soul Master Tournament finals, then took his place as Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s substitute. Yu Xiaogang’s renewed objection to Xiao Yun’s eligibility was rejected by Moon Guan, and the final match was set to begin.

• Xiao Yun returned to Dugu Yan and spent the two days before the finals monitoring Shrek Academy with his Spiritual Sense.
• Xiao Yun sensed Tang Hao near Shrek’s barracks and detected that a secret technique or medicine had temporarily restored his strength at a cost.
