• Xiao Tian asked Yu Xiaogang whether Xiao Wu had been wrong to beat Ma Hongjun, and Tang San urged Flender to let the dispute go so training could begin.
• Yu Xiaogang canceled the original training plan and ordered Xiao Tian to fight Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar, forbidding Hidden Weapons.

• Xiao Tian told Ning Rongrong to boost Tang San as much as she wanted, and he argued with Yu Xiaogang that keeping the Support System Soul Masters in the fight would make the training more useful.

Xiao Tian demonstrated Horizon's End, startling Tang San and the others, then joined the match against Tang San. Tang San's attacks failed to restrain Xiao Tian, so he escalated by using his Eight Spider Lances.

• Xiao Tian used Horizon's End to appear beside Ning Rongrong, and Tang San mistook the move for an advanced Lightness Skill from a martial arts world.
• Xiao Tian claimed Horizon's End consumed nearly half his Soul Power, easing the group's fears, and Tang San and Yu Xiaogang stopped insisting on their earlier objection.

After defeating Tang San, Xiao Tian received the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon and the Xuanyuan Ring, while Tang San was taken to Shao Xin for treatment. Tang San questioned his fighting style and considered cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, but Yu Xiaogang planned to restore his confidence and keep him focused on the future.

• Xiao Tian examined his rewards, learning that the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon covered cultivation, health, acupoints, and herbal formulas, while the Xuanyuan Ring could disguise Soul Rings, store Soul Power, and block mental attacks.
• Flender and Yu Xiaogang brought the injured Tang San to Shao Xin, who complained about being treated like Shrek's infirmary before agreeing to heal him.
• Flender told Shao Xin that Tang San was a twelve-year-old three-ring Soul Elder with Innate Full Soul Power, prompting Shao Xin to take an interest in the students' training.

• Xiao Tian judged that Ning Rongrong needed to change her assumptions about Support System Soul Masters and stop relying on her sect's status.

As the students began running with weighted baskets, Ning Rongrong explained why she doubted that running could protect her from powerful enemies.

• Flender confronted Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Tian quietly reminded her that she was alone at the academy and lacked combat ability, so she calmed down and agreed to accept her punishment.

• Ning Rongrong thanked Xiao Tian for stopping her from insulting Flender, and Xiao Tian teased her for acting like a spoiled young miss before urging her to stay calm.
• Ning Rongrong told Xiao Tian that her family had used running only to build a normal physique, and she believed it could not help someone escape a true expert.

Xiao Tian devised a plan to make Yu Xiaogang’s training appear unreasonable to another teacher, Shao Xin, and used Sword Fifteen to bring Shao Xin to the academy entrance. After quietly briefing the girls, Xiao Tian drew Tang San’s suspicions as they continued their run.

• Xiao Tian decided he would make Yu Xiaogang run alongside the students and thought Shao Xin might challenge the teacher’s training methods.

• Xiao Tian, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong urged Yu Xiaogang to train with them, and Ning Rongrong hinted that she would tell Grandpa Sword about Xiao Tian.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to set an example, and Xiao Tian arranged a thirty-jin wooden basket for him after Ma Hongjun asked whether he would carry weight.
• Tang San protested that the weight was too heavy, but Xiao Tian challenged Yu Xiaogang’s pride and persuaded him to accept it.
• Flender left the group in Shao Xin’s care, while secretly planning to watch the training from nearby.
• Tang San offered to help Yu Xiaogang carry some of his load, and Ning Rongrong asked Xiao Tian if she had handled the confrontation well.

Xiao Tian watched the group struggle through Yu Xiaogang’s weight-bearing run, while Ning Rongrong refused Oscar’s help and later injured her ankle. Yu Xiaogang collapsed near the academy gates and Shao Xin revived him with a rough dose of Sugar Bean, ending the training.

• Ning Rongrong left in high spirits, and Xiao Tian received the Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Blueprint Collection after gaining her favor.

Xiao Tian comforted Xiao Wu after revealing that Tang Hao knew she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and she realized she had fallen in love with him. The chapter left them preparing to travel with Shrek Academy to the Star Dou Great Forest for Oscar’s Third Soul Ring, while Xiao Tian vowed to protect Xiao Wu.

• Xiao Tian considered the system’s Hidden Weapon techniques and decided he would rather raise the favorability of Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing than Tang San’s.
• Flender announced that the group would run to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Oscar’s Third Soul Ring, and the girls refused Oscar’s Sausages.

• Xiao Wu realized she loved Xiao Tian, and he reassured her that they could avoid Tang Hao and keep cultivating before Tang San reached Soul Douluo.

Xiao Tian arranged for Shao Xin to join the group so Oscar would not be their only source of food and recovery on the journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
