Tang San tried to use the Haotian Token to pressure Spirit Hall into arresting Yu Xiaoheng after Yu Xiaoheng killed Huyan Cheng. Bibi Dong revealed her Holy Maiden Token and stopped Gu Tie from touching Yu Xiaoheng, leaving Tang San's authority challenged.

• Gu Tie appeared and, weighing the Clear Sky Sect's influence and Huyan Cheng's death, prepared to arrest Yu Xiaoheng.
• Tang San presented the Haotian Token and demanded that Spirit Hall punish Yu Xiaoheng.
• Bibi Dong stepped forward and placed the Holy Maiden Token on the registration desk, halting Gu Tie.
• Gu Tie withdrew his hand and bowed to Bibi Dong as Tang San's confident expression froze.

Gu Tie ruled that Huyan Cheng had died by accident after charging into Yu Xiaoheng’s defensive tusk, and declared Nameless innocent. As Yu Xiaoheng left with Bibi Dong and the others, Tang Hao and Clear Sky Sect Master Tang Wei arrived, and Tang Wei threatened to cripple him.

Qian Xunji’s attitude toward Bibi Dong shifted when his daughter Qian Renxue appeared, and Yu Xiaoheng left with Bibi Dong and the Shui sisters. At a secluded inn, the sisters dropped their disguises and revealed how badly they had been injured.

• Qian Xunji considered recruiting Yu Xiaoheng into Spirit Hall and regretted how harshly he had treated Bibi Dong.

• Tang Wei condemned Nameless and Bibi Dong for Huyan Cheng’s death, while Tang Hao urged him to eliminate Nameless.

In a secret chamber, Yu Xiaoheng struggled to contain the Soul Power he had devoured and sought a way to strengthen his body. He developed the first level of a body-tempering method from his ancestor’s memories, then tried adding fire after lightning proved too slow.

• Yu Xiaoheng realized his body could no longer absorb more Soul Power until he tempered it, and ruled out the Star Dou Great Forest as too dangerous.
• Yu Xiaoheng found that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s body-tempering method had reached its limit for him.
• Yu Xiaoheng received his ancestor’s memories of Body Sanctification and named the new technique the Golden Dragon Element Body Tempering Method.
• Yu Xiaoheng began the method’s first level, Resonance, by channeling lightning through his body and saw his physical strength improve.
• Yu Xiaoheng judged lightning tempering too slow to help him defeat Tang Hao before the tournament ended, so he tried fire and collapsed in agony.

Yu Xiaoheng realized that the Hell White Tiger’s combination of Netherworld and light energy could let him cultivate the first layer of the Golden Dragon Element Body Tempering Method. He planned to drain the Star Luo Team’s Martial Soul energy, but Spirit City’s security and the tournament’s matchmaking made it difficult to act.

• Yu Xiaoheng determined that he needed energy dominated by Netherworld or darkness with a trace of light to temper his body.
• Yu Xiaoheng recalled the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which combined the Zhu Family’s Netherworld attribute with the Dai Family’s White Tiger Sacred Light.
• Yu Xiaoheng decided to target the Star Luo Team, whose allies had helped slaughter the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Yu Xiaoheng considered using his fifth soul skill, Elemental Drain, while the Star Luo Team performed its Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Yu Xiaoheng concluded that Spirit City’s guards made a secret attack nearly impossible and that the seeded teams were unlikely to meet in the first round.

Yu Xiaoheng attended the tournament under his Nameless disguise and antagonized several teams while privately sizing up his targets. The Nameless Team was matched against the Star Luo Imperial Team in the opening preliminary round, leaving Yu Xiaoheng stunned.

• Yu Xiaoheng ignored the hostile Lower Four Sects and Clear Sky Sect teams as he entered the arena.
• Yu Xiaoheng stared down the Star Luo Team, whose captain mistook his sigh for fear.
• Yu Xiaoheng insulted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and recognized Yu Xiaogang, privately taking pride in his progress.
• The red-robed bishop announced that the Nameless Team would face the Star Luo Imperial Team in the first match, and Yu Xiaoheng froze.

Yu Xiaoheng walked toward the Battle Soul Platform as the crowd mocked him, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan debated whether to intervene. Yu Xiaogang refused to save Nameless, judging that protecting an unknown outsider was not worth risking the clan’s interests.

• The Elephant Armored Sect men mocked Yu Xiaoheng for appearing frightened of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
• Yu Xiaoheng controlled his laughter, understood that the match had been arranged as a trap, and led his team toward the Battle Soul Platform.
• The Lightning Team and Blue Lightning Sect stewards suspected the Star Luo Team and referee had conspired against Nameless.
• A Blue Lightning steward urged Yu Xiaogang to challenge the match’s fairness and protect Nameless.
• Yu Xiaogang refused, saying the clan would gain nothing by saving an unknown outsider and should not risk its ties with Star Luo or the Clear Sky Sect.

Yu Xiaoheng appeared to cower before the Star Luo Team, then endured Dai Zhentian’s relentless assault while his unusual Martial Soul puzzled Tang San and Tang Hao. As the battle turned against his team, Zhu Youlian cornered an enemy soul master who stumbled into Dai Zhentian’s attack range.

• Dai Zhentian sneered at Yu Xiaoheng’s trembling stance, while the crowd and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples mocked him until Yu Xiaogang warned them not to insult him in case he survived.
• The referee started the match, and Dai Zhentian charged Yu Xiaoheng, who blocked the first punch and was driven to the edge of the platform.
• Tang San and Tang Hao observed Yu Xiaoheng’s faint skin patterns and could not identify how his Martial Soul worked.
• Dai Zhentian activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation and repeatedly battered Yu Xiaoheng, whose spirit rings flickered without producing clear spirit skills.
• Zhu Youlian attacked the Slaughter Heaven organization’s fighters while Bibi Dong and the Shui sisters were occupied by three defensive Spirit Kings.
• A Slaughter Heaven soul master backed away from Zhu Youlian and stumbled into Dai Zhentian’s attack range.

Dai Zhentian used poison to prevent the Star Luo Team's opponents from surrendering, while Bibi Dong and the Shui sisters prepared to fight back. Yu Xiaoheng suddenly revealed that he had been feigning weakness, then defeated Zhu Youlian in a single exchange.

• Dai Zhentian released Throat-Locking Powder that left a soul master unable to call out surrender.
• Bibi Dong called to Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi as the sisters prepared a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and she summoned Rakshasa God power.
• Zhu Youlian attacked the weakened Yu Xiaoheng with Nether Hundred Claws.
• Yu Xiaoheng caught Zhu Youlian's claws, smashed her into the platform, and kicked her into the railing, severely injuring her.
• Yu Xiaoheng revealed that he had endured the humiliation and acted weak to lure Zhu Youlian into striking.

Nameless revealed his strength by defeating Zhu Youlian, then faced Dai Zhentian’s overwhelming attack. As Dai Zhentian charged with White Tiger Annihilation Kill, Yu Xiaoheng activated Dragon God Possession and formed armor from lightning and fire.

• Nameless had been pretending to be weak before defeating Zhu Youlian in one blow.
• Dai Zhentian dismissed Nameless’s tactics and ordered the Star Luo support-type soul master to enhance him.
• Dai Zhentian unleashed his sixth soul skill, White Tiger Annihilation Kill, and charged at Yu Xiaoheng.
• Yu Xiaoheng activated Dragon God Possession and used Thunderclap to form armor from lightning and fire.

Yu Xiaoheng overwhelmed Dai Zhentian after breaking his strongest attack, then used him to knock out the Star Luo Team’s Support Type Soul Master. He turned toward the remaining Star Luo Team members while the stunned audience watched the prince lie defeated.

• Yu Xiaoheng caught Dai Zhentian during his weakened state and broke his guard with a double-fisted blow and a knee strike.
• Yu Xiaoheng pursued Dai Zhentian into the air and battered him with lightning- and fire-infused punches.
• Yu Xiaoheng kicked Dai Zhentian into the Star Luo Team’s Support Type Soul Master, knocking the support Soul Master unconscious and leaving Dai Zhentian badly injured.
• Yu Xiaoheng landed unharmed and surveyed the remaining Star Luo Team members as the arena fell silent.

Nameless defeated the Star Luo Team’s support soul master, leaving its Hell White Tiger without its crucial enhancement as it charged at him. Tang San, Bibi Dong, and other observers questioned why Nameless had concealed his strength, while Yu Xiaogang took heart from his clan’s praise.

• Tang Wei and the Clear Sky Sect elders judged that the Hell White Tiger could overpower Nameless, but Tang San feared the fight was not going as expected without the support soul master.
• Tang San recalled how an earlier supposedly overwhelming plan had ended with Yang Wudi crippled, yet he could only watch as the Hell White Tiger attacked Nameless.
• Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon disciples praised Yu Xiaogang for believing Nameless could turn the fight around, and Yu Xiaogang felt renewed by their approval.
• Bibi Dong and the Shui sisters wondered why Nameless had pretended to be injured when he seemed capable of stopping Dai Zhentian before the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was unleashed.
• The clever spectators in the arena questioned Nameless’s purpose in hiding his strength.

Nameless survived the Hell White Tiger’s attack and began devouring its power, leaving Dai Zhentian trapped as Tang San urged the Star Luo Team to concede. Yu Xiaogang blocked their attempt by citing the tournament rule that only a captain could surrender, leaving Dai Zhentian’s fate uncertain.

• The Hell White Tiger smashed Nameless’s Thunderfire Shield and crushed his chest, but Nameless remained standing as a black vortex surrounded them.
• Nameless’s wounds began healing while he forcibly drained the Hell White Tiger’s Soul Power, leaving Dai Zhentian unable to pull free.
• The Star Luo Team attacked Nameless, but their strikes only made the vortex spin faster and accelerated the Hell White Tiger’s decline.
• Tang San recognized Nameless’s power-draining ability as the work of an Evil Soul Master and secretly urged the Star Luo control system Spirit Master to concede.
• As the Spirit Master began to announce the surrender, Yu Xiaogang stopped him and declared that only the team captain could concede under the tournament rules.
