• Xue Ling ordered the Soul Beasts guarding the perimeter to report any similar human groups immediately.

Xue Ling planned to infiltrate the Northern Legion and destroy its Eight-Headed Seismograph, which had detected changes to the Far North’s Earth Veins. After staging an attack to make an expedition team retreat, she slipped past the Legion’s scans and heard an order to stop geological exploration.

Guo Zhenfeng put the Northern Legion on combat readiness after Xue Ling escaped, while Di Tian’s former colleagues gathered in Shrek City to investigate Gu Yue’s feelings for Tang Wulin. They met their informant Yuanen Yehui, whose hostile attitude toward Zi Ji left the beasts uncertain about her loyalties.

• Guo Zhenfeng ordered the Northern Legion to prepare for enemy attacks and natural disasters after Xue Ling slipped away.
• Bi Ji and Zi Ji told Ten Thousand Demons King and the other ferocious beasts that Gu Yue had fallen for Tang Wulin, citing Di Tian’s judgment and events involving their bloodlines.

• Zi Ji received a message from Yuanen Yehui and led the ferocious beasts to meet her at a beverage shop on Shrek City's central commercial street.
• Yuanen Yehui greeted Zi Ji with undisguised jealousy and no courtesy, leaving the other ferocious beasts unsure whether she was truly their informant.

Yuanen Yehui recounted Gu Yue and Tang Wulin’s close relationship, prompting the ferocious beasts to follow the pair to Heaven Dou City and verify it firsthand. They watched Gu Yue warmly accompany Tang Wulin, then left after he failed to meet Zhen Hua, while Ten Thousand Demons King concluded that Di Tian was behind the verification trip.

• Yuanen Yehui told Ten Thousand Demons King and the other ferocious beasts how Gu Yue and Tang Wulin had become close teammates and acted like childhood sweethearts.

The ferocious beasts realized Di Tian’s path might offer hope for their lord, while Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and their Shrek companions were assigned to an exchange trip to the Star Luo Empire. As the group began boarding, Cai Yue'er’s blunt remark about rejecting Monster Academy’s exchange request left the gathering in awkward silence.

• Ten Thousand Demons King and the other ferocious beasts left after asking how much time Di Tian could give them, while Xiong Jun promised Bi Ji and Zi Ji he would keep the events confidential.
• The Star Luo Empire invited academies and powers to send exchange groups, and Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and eight others were selected as Shrek Seven Monsters candidates for the trip.
• Cai Yue'er led the Shrek group, with Wu Zhangkong as their teacher, aboard a passenger ship bound for Star Luo Continent.
• At Heaven Sea Wharf, Federal Secretary-General Pan Wen explained that Star Luo students and exchange participants would share the voyage with the Shrek group.
• Cai Yue'er reminded Pan Wen that Shrek Academy had rejected Monster Academy’s request to visit, causing the surrounding area to fall silent.

Cai Yue'er deliberately insulted Star Luo Royal Academy to provoke its students and train Tang Wulin and the others to handle trouble. Soon after boarding the ship, the Shrek students faced a group of Star Luo Royal Academy students, and Yue Zhengyu answered their taunts with mockery.

• Pan Wen welcomed Cai Yue'er and Shrek Academy's students aboard the passenger ship and proposed friendly exchanges between the academies.
• Cai Yue'er told the eight youngsters that she had disparaged Star Luo Royal Academy to provoke trouble and test their ability to adapt.

• Yue Zhengyu taunted the short Star Luo student, stood firm when he charged, and mocked the Star Luo students' supposed customs.

Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi joined Wu Zhangkong in a plan to catch seafood from the passenger ship’s surface waters. Wu Zhangkong summoned his martial soul and prepared to strike the boat, but the chapter ended before the fishing began.

• Tang Wulin fled Yue Zhengyu’s scuffle, and the ship later announced a formal reception.
• Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi found the reception’s small pastries insufficient and joked about catching fish.
• Wu Zhangkong joined them and used their fishing suggestion as an excuse to escape the crowd at the ball.
• Wu Zhangkong took Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi to the ship’s stern and secured a small boat for surface fishing.
• Wu Zhangkong transformed into the Sky Frost Sword and brought down a giant sword toward the boat.

Wu Zhangkong created an ice platform so Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi could fish, and Tang Wulin’s blood drew a swarm of Sea Soul Beasts that they hunted and stored. Just as Tang Wulin headed back to the deck, the passenger ship was rocked by a thunderous impact, leaving him searching for his companions and teacher.

• Wu Zhangkong froze the surrounding seawater into an ice platform and tossed the frightened Xu Lizhi down to join Tang Wulin.
• Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi used steamed buns as bait while Wu Zhangkong prepared their catch, then added Tang Wulin’s blood to attract more Sea Soul Beasts.
• Lan Fozi recognized the bait’s human scent and led the Octopus Ferocious Beast toward its source, using Whale Song to keep other Sea Soul Beasts away.
• Tang Wulin and Wu Zhangkong subdued a large group of Sea Soul Beasts, and Tang Wulin stored the frozen catch in the passenger ship’s cargo hold.
• A thunderous impact rocked the passenger ship, and Tang Wulin hurried toward the deck to find his companions and Wu Zhangkong.

Tang Wulin and his companions faced a huge Sea Soul Beast swarm attacking their passenger ship, led by the hundred-thousand-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Lan Fozi. As Cai Yue'er prepared to confront Lan Fozi, the passengers looked to Shrek Academy to answer for provoking the beasts.

• Wu Zhangkong rescued Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi and brought them to the top deck, where Tang Wulin saw the sea had turned dark purple.
• Cai Yue'er told Tang Wulin that a powerful Sea Soul Beast swarm led by a hundred-thousand-year king was attacking the ship.
• Lan Fozi emerged in his true form as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and demanded that the humans return the Sea Soul Beasts they had hunted.
• Wu Zhangkong admitted responsibility for the hunt, while Cai Yue'er discussed the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts and refused to explain herself to the hostile passengers.
• Cai Yue'er rose to confront Lan Fozi as four other powerful fighters joined her, and her Battle Armor transformed her into a younger-looking form.

Cai Yue'er refused to release the captured Sea Soul Beasts until the ships reached Star Luo Continent, and Lan Fozi rejected her terms. An Octopus Ferocious Beast unleashed a devastating marine disaster that shattered the passenger ship’s defenses and sent both ships capsizing into the sea.

• Cai Yue'er told Lan Fozi that the captured Sea Soul Beasts would be released after the passenger ship reached Star Luo Continent, but Lan Fozi refused.
• Cai Yue'er attacked Lan Fozi with her Rank 98 power, and Lan Fozi answered with a column of water.
• An Octopus Ferocious Beast rose from the sea and began using the ocean currents and monsoon forces to generate increasingly powerful waves.
• Lan Fozi signaled the Sea Soul Beasts to retreat as the Octopus Ferocious Beast’s waves overwhelmed the ships.
• A fourth monstrous wave shattered the passenger ship’s protective barrier, cracked the hulls, and sent both ships tilting into the sea.

Lan Fozi isolated Cai Yue'er and four other human experts, revealed her Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha, and killed all five. She then watched as the fifth colossal wave shattered the passenger ships, leaving countless people dead or adrift at sea.

• As the Octopus Ferocious Beast intensified the marine catastrophe, Lan Fozi trapped Cai Yue'er and four other experts inside a sea vortex.
• Lan Fozi appeared in Four-Word Battle Armor and a God-level Mecha, shocking Cai Yue'er, who suspected the Soul Beasts had obtained their equipment through Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua.
• Lan Fozi killed Cai Yue'er with a blow to the abdomen and destroyed her Three-Word Battle Armor.
• Lan Fozi summoned her God-level Mecha as a blood-red saber and killed the four remaining human experts with a cross-shaped slash.
• Lan Fozi removed the vortex and saw the fifth colossal wave break apart both passenger ships, drowning countless people and leaving survivors clinging to wreckage or hovering above the water.

Tong Yu arrived after the Sea Soul Beasts devastated the exchange delegation and rescued the survivors, while Lan Fozi withdrew after her mother's imprint stopped her from pursuing Tang Wulin and Wu Zhangkong. The survivors reached the Star Luo Continent, where Tong Yu canceled the welcome ceremony as the factions faced heavy losses.

• Tong Yu arrived as a Five Elements Qilin, held off the Octopus Ferocious Beast and Lan Fozi, and used his Five Elements Domain to rescue people from the sea.
• Lan Fozi ordered the Sea Soul Beasts to retreat, then became curious about Tang Wulin's scent and moved toward him and Wu Zhangkong.
• The Demon Empress's Mental Imprint activated the Whale Pearl and stopped Lan Fozi, who abandoned her pursuit and retreated.
• Tong Yu gathered the survivors on floating wreckage and carried them toward the Star Luo Continent after confirming no one remained in the water.
• The survivors reached the Star Luo Continent, and Tong Yu canceled the welcome ceremony as the exchange delegations mourned their losses; Shrek Academy had lost Cai Yue'er, while its other nine members survived.

After the sea beast attack left the exchange delegations devastated, Zhuo Shi rallied Tang Wulin and his companions to continue the soul battle exchange and defend Shrek's glory. He then faced accusations from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and refused to accept responsibility for the attack.

• Tang Wulin blamed himself for the attack, which had injured all his companions and awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in his martial soul.
• Zhuo Shi arrived, heard Wu Zhangkong's account, and urged the dejected students to continue the exchange with Monster Academy, citing Shrek's history and Huo Yuhao's generation as inspiration.
• Tang Wulin and his companions stacked their hands and swore to defend Shrek's glory at any cost.
• A powerhouse from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy demanded an explanation, accusing Shrek's students of provoking the Sea Soul Beast King and causing the attack.
• Zhuo Shi denied that Shrek was responsible and argued that the beasts' appearance could not be proven to have anything to do with the academy.

As Zhuo Shi deflected blame for the passenger-ship attack, Gu Yue mourned the Dragon God’s memories and secretly acted before rejoining Tang Wulin. The Shrek delegation departed for the Star Luo capital, unaware that the Gu Yue on the train was a fake, while a silver-clad figure arrived in the Dragon Valley Small World.

• Zhuo Shi argued that no evidence linked Shrek students to the Sea Soul Beast attack and shifted responsibility to the Federal Parliament.
• Tang Wulin found Gu Yue crying; she recalled the Dragon God’s defeat and the extinction of her race, then drew something from a nearby tree and returned to him.
• The visiting Sun Moon Federation delegation prepared to return home, while the Shrek delegation accepted Monster Academy’s exchange soul battle and boarded a train to the Star Luo capital.
• Tang Wulin saw Gu Yue sleeping at the back of the train and did not realize that she was an impostor.
• A silver-clad, veiled figure descended near the barrier of the Dragon Valley Small World.

Gu Yue discovered that the Dragon God Dragon Soul and Dragon God Core had disappeared from the Dragon Valley Small World, complicating her recovery and plans. She considered pursuing the Dragon God Core through the Abyss Plane as Ten Thousand Demons King asked whether they should target Tang Wulin.

• Ten Thousand Demons King reported that the Dragon Valley Small World had a barrier that would require Quasi-God-level power to open a Space Channel.
• Gu Yue reluctantly ordered Ten Thousand Demons King to search for Di Tian and tell him it was his last chance to return.
• Gu Yue struck the barrier and discovered that the Dragon God Dragon Soul and Dragon God Core were gone.
• Gu Yue suspected Di Tian at first, then ruled him out, and learned from Ten Thousand Demons King that the missing relics would slow her recovery and hinder her plans.
• Gu Yue said she could use the Abyss Plane to recover, and Ten Thousand Demons King asked whether they should attack Tang Wulin.

Gu Yue ordered the ferocious beasts not to interfere with Tang Wulin, admitting she could not bring herself to kill him despite believing his death would clear the way for the Dragon God's return. Ten Thousand Demons King learned of Di Tian's preparations for war and was sent with Demon Spirit to the Forging Masters Association Headquarters.

• Gu Yue used her Silver Dragon Claw to intimidate Ten Thousand Demons King and insisted Tang Wulin had to mature before she could fuse with his Golden Dragon King Bloodline.
• Gu Yue ordered Ten Thousand Demons King to warn Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Di Tian not to target Tang Wulin, then confessed to herself that she could not kill him.
• Ten Thousand Demons King found Bi Ji and Demon Spirit, who had secretly come to the Star Luo Continent, and noted that Xiong Jun had not arrived.
• Bi Ji described Di Tian's five years of preparations, including uniting soul beasts, acquiring advanced weapons and armor, and planning a Level Twelve Fixed Soul Cannon Shell attack on Shrek Academy.
• Bi Ji sent Ten Thousand Demons King and Demon Spirit to the Forging Masters Association Headquarters in Heaven Dou City to have battle armor and mechas made for them.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji confronted Xiong Jun after failing to recruit him, and he challenged Di Tian to come find him. When they reported his words, Di Tian realized Xiong Jun was acting deliberately and set out to meet him in Shrek City.

• Bi Ji and Zi Ji watched Tang Wulin defeat Long Yue, then returned from the Star Luo Continent with the exchange delegation.
• Zi Ji scolded Xiong Jun for rejecting their recruitment, and Xiong Jun dared Di Tian to come himself.
• Bi Ji persuaded Zi Ji to report Xiong Jun's words tactfully, and they went to the Forging Masters Association Headquarters.
• Bi Ji and Zi Ji told Di Tian that Xiong Jun wanted him to visit, while Demon Empress suggested killing Xiong Jun and sacrificing him to the flag.
• Di Tian said Xiong Jun was too cunning to give him a chance to kill him and set out for Shrek City to see him.
