• Ning Tian saw the Zheng Tian Academy group heading to the experimental site and wondered how they had ended up at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Ning Tian considered strengthening ties with the Sun Moon Empire as Zheng Tian Academy joined its recruits. Xu Tianxi’s Soul Spirit experiments succeeded with several Soul Beasts, and he began trying to contract with the sixty-thousand-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King, which he subdued inside a Spiritual Power illusion.

• Ning Tian worried that Zheng Tian Academy had moved ahead in courting the Sun Moon Empire, but believed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could offer greater resources.
• Xu Tianxi recruited condemned criminal Fei Hu for an experiment and guided him through an attempted equal contract with a sick hundred-year-old tiger-type Soul Beast.
• The tiger died as a new Soul Ring appeared for Fei Hu, who advanced to rank thirty-one, and Meng Hongchen photographed the successful experiment.
• Over the next two days, Xu Tianxi’s experiments with ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year Soul Beasts reached a success rate of up to one hundred percent.
• Xu Tianxi released the sixty-thousand-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King and offered it a contract, but it refused.
• Xu Tianxi drew the Silver Moon Wolf King into a Spiritual Power world, where overwhelming pressure flattened it and it saw a large white silkworm.

• Xu Tianxi entered Deep Meditation and began absorbing Heaven and Earth Origin Power while merging with the Silver Moon Wolf King's Soul Power.

• Jing Hongchen considered seeking guidance from the Xuanming Sect while observing Xu Tianxi's unusual cultivation and the growing disturbance around him.
• Xu Tianxi formed a Soul Power Vortex prototype in his upper dantian, drawing on the moonlight as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Empress, and Electrolux assisted him.
• Xu Tianxi emerged from the moonlit mist and told Jing Hongchen that he had condensed the prototype of a Soul Core, leaving Jing Hongchen astonished.

Xu Tianxi told Jing Hongchen that he wanted Soul Spirits to be inherited across generations and grow stronger, then planned to build a force with the Hongchen Family around the technology. He asked Jing Hongchen for the Level 9 God Sealing Platform so he could speak with the Snow Empress’s embryo, and began to suspect Mingde Hall had a spy.

• Jing Hongchen recovered from his surprise at Xu Tianxi’s Soul Power vortex and asked what he planned to do with the Soul Spirit technology.
• Xu Tianxi laid out his goals of making Soul Spirits inheritable and able to grow stronger, and proposed first promoting the technology among trusted allies before establishing an independent force with the Hongchen Family.
• Jing Hongchen pledged his support, and Xu Tianxi confirmed that Ye Yulin was included in their circle of secrecy because he had helped secure experimental subjects.
• Xu Tianxi asked Jing Hongchen to give him the Level 9 God Sealing Platform after the Imperial Court debate so he could speak with the nearly Ferocious Beast-level Snow Empress embryo.
• Jing Hongchen warned Xu Tianxi about the embryo’s danger, but Xu Tianxi said he had experience with powerful soul beasts and wanted to prevent the Snow Empress from self-destructing.
• Xu Tianxi wondered how the Body Sect had infiltrated Mingde Hall and stolen the embryo, suspected a mole, and asked Jing Hongchen whether spies from the Three Great Empires were inside.

Xu Tianxi warned Jing Hongchen to investigate possible spies in Mingde Hall, advised him on Soul Spirit preparations, and revealed that He Caitou might be the missing former Crown Prince Xu He. After the court spared Xu Guozhong, Jing Hongchen gave Xu Tianxi the God Sealing Platform, while Xu Tianran plotted to use its secret to provoke an attack on Mingde Hall and pressure Jing Hongchen.

Shrek Academy decided to seek help from the Three Great Empires and allied sects to recover its captured people from the Sun Moon Empire.

• Du Busi took Huo Yuhao and departed with the Body Sect, while Mu En angrily confronted Yan Shaozhe.

Du Busi took Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect, but news that Gong Changlong had been captured and Old Xuan had joined the Holy Spirit Cult left them stunned.

• Mu En struck Yan Shaozhe for prioritizing Shrek’s strength over its students, and Yan Shaozhe asked Xian Liner to make his punishment look convincing.
• Xian Liner turned the beating into a chance to vent her old resentment, and Old Song and Old Zhuang eventually pulled her away from Yan Shaozhe.

• Du Busi and the Body Sect Masters suspected that Xuan Zi had sacrificed Shrek’s geniuses for the Evil Soul Masters and that Yan Shaozhe’s former lover Feng Ling had become the Evil Phoenix Super Douluo.
