After the spirit array vanished, Mu Yuan fought off Zhang Ling and then held his own against Huang Shouchao and ten other Mid Divine Spirit Realm students.

Mu Yuan fled a growing army of Divine Spirit Realm experts pursuing the two Heaven Tier Spirit Beast Essences he had claimed, and followed his system map toward a dangerous red-marked location. He arrived at a mountain range where Luo Li and others were battling a wounded Heaven Tier Spirit Beast, only for the group to mistake the pursuit and warn him to stop.

• Qin Guan, two other experts, and a crowd of Divine Spirit Realm cultivators chased Mu Yuan out of Earth Heart Valley, spreading news that he had obtained two Heaven Tier Spirit Beast Essences.
• Mu Yuan evaded his pursuers for hours, but with his spiritual energy running low, he followed the system map's large red dot toward a barren crimson mountain range.
• Mu Yuan reached the mountain range and found hundreds of cultivators attacking a wounded One-Eyed Giant Ape, a Heaven Tier Spirit Beast comparable to the early stage of the Sky Fusion Realm.
• The lean youth recognized Luo Li as the one who had badly injured the ape and remarked that defeating it could raise her mark to level nine.
• Mu Yuan rushed toward the battle with hundreds of pursuers behind him, and the lean youth's group realized the crowd was hunting him before a sharp black light warned Mu Yuan not to advance.

Mu Yuan was rescued from Qin Guan and the others when Luo Li recognized him as Mu Chen’s older brother and declared him her friend. With Luo Li backing him, Mu Yuan demanded their forehead marks, and the chapter left the fleeing students teleported away after Luo Li shattered their marks with a sword strike.

• Mu Yuan tried to refine the Earth Heart Flame Python's essence, but the fleshy cocoon swallowed it and then absorbed a mid-tier Spirit Beast Essence, beginning to glow as if it were coming to life.

Meanwhile, Luo Li told Mu Chen that Wen Qingxuan had won the Spiritual Crown, and Mu Yuan ended the chapter learning about his new companion’s bond.

While he traveled toward the gathering point, another student reached Level Nine first and opened the Northern Spiritual Hall; Mu Yuan finally set off with a mark beyond Level Eight.

Mu Yuan arrived at the Northern Spiritual Hall after reaching a level-nine mark and received a Spirit Value Token and a chance to earn more by challenging a senior student.

As the new students gathered, Mu Yuan met the other regional standouts, including Bing Qing, whose Ice Spirit Clan ties to the Martial Ancestor made him uneasy.

• An Ran explained that the Divine Spirit Ranking awarded spiritual value to its top fifty, and Mu Yuan deduced that its top ten exploited their Sky Fusion Realm strength to hold their positions.
