• Tang Yin spent seven days avoiding forging, then restarted with basic materials and techniques until he achieved Spirit Forging and made five Iron Tokens.

After completing Spirit Forging, Zhou Xuefeng investigated the Blue Silver Forest and negotiated with the Blue Silver King for a high-year Blue Silver Grass Spirit Ring, then returned home after considering other options. There, he found the Three Sisters safe and questioned why Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyu wore black while Zhu Zhuqing wore blue.

After more than a year of missions, they returned to Spirit City, while Zhou Xuefeng traveled north with the Three Sisters before joining Plant Academy as a junior instructor.

• The dean of studies examined Zhou Xuefeng’s unusually vigorous Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and approved his application as a junior instructor.

Zhou Xuefeng began teaching at Plant Academy and studied students with unusual plant-like martial souls, while Tang Yin pushed his forging experiments toward a breakthrough. After absorbing natural primordial qi too recklessly, Tang Yin exploded and revived, and the others sensed their shared energy surge and then drain away.

• Zhou Xuefeng studied the fire-resistant Crimson Flame Thorn and the Sun Flower, noting their unusual abilities and differences from the Sun Flower soul beast.

After obtaining two new Spirit Skills, the trio sought a squad willing to hunt a fifty-thousand-year Spirit Beast and encountered Flender at Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena.

• Zhou Xuefeng flew Zhu Zhuyu back to Plant Academy, where Zhu Zhuyun asked her what Spirit Skill she had gained.
• Tang Yin and Tian Rui attacked a thirty-thousand-year ape, and Tang Yin absorbed its Spirit Ring with the help of Spirit Bones.
• Tang Yin awakened with Giant Strength, a skill that increased his strength and gave his attacks a chance to ignore defense.
• The three wore down a forty-six-thousand-year Raging Soul Lion before Tang Yin killed it and gained the Po Jun Spirit Skill.

• The three saw Flender at the Great Soul Arena, and Tian Rui reacted with a glint in his eyes.

Tang Yin, Tian Rui, and Zhou Xuefeng hired Flender and two Shrek teachers to hunt a strength-type spirit beast, then found an Earth Violent Bear King nearing sixty thousand years old. The group began fighting it, and Tang Yin prepared to strike while Zhou Xuefeng disrupted its control over the earth.

• After raising their bounty, Zhou Xuefeng, Tian Rui, and Tang Yin hired Flender to help them hunt a strength-type spirit beast of at least fifty thousand years.
• Flender arrived the next day with Shao Xin and Lu Qibin, and the group set out for the forest.
• Several days later, the group found an Earth Violent Bear King nearing sixty thousand years old, and Flender and Lu Qibin attacked it.
• The Bear King overpowered Lu Qibin's control and erupted a stone peak from the ground, but Flender wounded it with his Fourth Spirit Skill.
• Tian Rui and Zhou Xuefeng joined the fight, and Tang Yin swung his lightning-charged Clear Sky Hammer as Zhou Xuefeng's Blue Silver Grass disrupted the Bear King's earth ripples.

Zhou Xuefeng, Tian Rui, and Tang Yin defeated a Bear King, and Tang Yin absorbed its spirit ring without gaining an External Soul Bone. The trio continued searching for a stronger spirit beast and, after more than a month, forced condemned prisoners and nobles to confront a sixty-six-thousand-year Thunderous Rhinoceros King.

• Zhou Xuefeng restrained the Bear King with Blue Silver Grass while Tian Rui and Tang Yin attacked, then overwhelmed it with a giant made of grass until it fell unconscious.
• Tang Yin killed the Bear King and absorbed its spirit ring while Zhou Xuefeng searched the remains for a soul bone; Flender, Shao Xin, and Lu Qibin waited until Tang Yin finished and then received their payment.
• Tang Yin explained that his third spirit skill boosted his defense and physical attributes and let him resist most control effects while standing on earth, but he had not gained an External Soul Bone.
• Zhou Xuefeng left to fetch death-row prisoners and nobles, then returned to the forest and continued searching for spirit beasts with Tang Yin and Tian Rui.
• After more than a month, the trio found a sixty-six-thousand-year Thunderous Rhinoceros King, and Zhou Xuefeng forced their captives to take seeds made from the Bear King's extracted energy and attack it.
• One captive charged the Rhinoceros King after eating a seed, but transformed in agony; Zhou Xuefeng then forced seeds on the others and threw the group beside the beast.
