At the Passion Sect base, Kiritsugu and Shirou investigated the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before Kiritsugu received a message from Huo Yuhao.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao assigned Gu Yue Na to handle Shrek City affairs, and she agreed to host the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had come to visit the Human World.

• Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya reached the poisonous fog in southwestern Sunset Forest and confirmed that its uneven distribution offered the best route to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Shirou Emiya fired the Spiral Sword and used Fantasy Collapse to blast open the fog briefly, allowing him to estimate its strength and repair rate.
• Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya decided to return, organize their map, and wait for Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao asked Gu Yue Na to oversee the upcoming negotiations with the Star Dou Great Forest, then left to meet Su Tong and travel to Sunset Forest and the Far North.
• Di Tian brought the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to Shrek City, where Gu Yue Na welcomed her and agreed to take her for food and let her stay nearby.

Roman arranged for Gu Yue Na’s newly named family member, Gu Qiuer, to enroll in Passion Research Academy’s Elite Class. Gu Qiuer reluctantly signed the voluntary agreement after Gu Yue Na and Di Tian insisted on sending her, leaving her resentful of Di Tian.

• Roman recognized the golden-haired girl as the Imperial Beast and, after consulting Huo Yuhao, decided to place her in the Elite Class.

Huo Yuhao checked Su Tong’s progress and prepared to help her obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit. At Sunset Forest, Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya bombarded the Poisonous Fog with Soul Cannons, alarming the plant Soul Beasts inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Huo Yuhao found that Su Tong had passed Rank Sixty and planned to take her to Sunset Forest and then the Far North to find her a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit.

• Shirou Emiya and Passion Sect members prepared fifty sets of Fixed Soul Cannon Shells around the southwestern edge of Sunset Forest.
• Kiritsugu Emiya ordered repeated volleys, escalating from Level Five to Level Six shells to burn away the Poisonous Fog.
• Youyou woke the plant Soul Beasts at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Jiaojiao insisted the Jade Phosphorous Poison Array would withstand the bombardment.

Huo Yuhao’s forces blasted through the poison array protecting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while the Immortal Herbs inside panicked as their defenses weakened. Huo Yuhao arrived after dealing with a bizarre family assassination plot and discussed future weapons research with Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya.

• The Aromatic Silk Beauty, Youyou, and the other Immortal Herbs reassured one another that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s poison defenses and Dragon Lords would protect them from intruders.

• Huo Yuhao told Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya that a Soul Splitting Bomb was in development and discussed applying fission energy to Soul Power.
• Huo Yuhao recounted rescuing a Runaway Young Lady from her grandfather, who had possessed her biological father and planned to kill her, then destroying the Misty Forest where he hid.

• Huo Yuhao left Su Tong and Kiritsugu Emiya at the camp and ordered them to guard it while he entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Endowment to part the flames and discovered the valley's abundant Immortal Herbs and powerful icy and fiery springs.

• Aromatic Silk Beauty offered Huo Yuhao a trial for the right to take plants and warned him that five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would resist him.
• Huo Yuhao rejected the warning and declared that Sea God Tang San could no longer control the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Huo Yuhao fought the seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, effortlessly countering their attacks with his abilities and equipment. He killed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon in the Fire Spring and forced the Infernal Delicate Apricot to choose between retrieving it and entering the Ice Spring.

• Huo Yuhao rejected the Aromatic Silk Beauty’s attempt to avoid battle, and the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo ambushed him with a black spear.
• The Immortal Herbs coordinated their attacks, but Huo Yuhao neutralized their flames and combined Ice and Fire strike, then donned his armor and prepared to fight seriously.
• The plants launched their Lifebound Bamboo Spear wrapped in Ice and Fire Spring water, but Huo Yuhao deflected it with the Origin Tortoise Shell.
• Huo Yuhao seized control of the earth and used a Mud Giant to plunge the Earth Dragon Golden Melon into the Fire Spring, where it died after ten minutes.
• Huo Yuhao ordered the Infernal Delicate Apricot to retrieve the cooked Earth Dragon Golden Melon, then threatened to send it into the Ice Spring when it refused.

Huo Yuhao forced the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to submit, using a potion to brainwash Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Aromatic Silk Beauty. After obtaining the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Pill and the Tang Sect’s lost Poison and Medicine Chapters, he discovered clues that could help restore the original Mysterious Heaven Skill, leaving him intent on spreading Dream Coins among the commoners.

• Huo Yuhao gave Infernal Delicate Apricot a choice, and it severed its roots and leaped into the Ice Spring rather than let him kill Aromatic Silk Beauty.
• Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and Ink Jade Divine Bamboo destroyed their own awareness, while Aromatic Silk Beauty did the same after the Dragon Lords ignored its plea for help.
• Huo Yuhao injected half a Yilin Concentrated Potion into Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and used an illusion to help the potion-born consciousness devour its original self, turning it into his devoted servant.
• Huo Yuhao injected the remaining potion into Aromatic Silk Beauty, which became fanatically loyal and gave him the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Pill and an ancient book.
• Huo Yuhao found the Tang Sect’s Poison and Medicine Chapters and, with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s help, discovered pages that could let them deduce the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and restore the original Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Huo Yuhao planned to turn the Mysterious Heaven Skill into software while collecting treasures from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After retrieving valuable essence and Soul Bones, he dived to the spring’s bottom and discovered the heads of two ancient Dragon Kings.

• Huo Yuhao asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Elder Yi to reconstruct the Mysterious Heaven Skill from a book and prepare it for use through the Magic Net.
• Huo Yuhao told Youyou and the other plants to manage the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then extracted the Infernal Delicate Apricot’s Blazing Gel and stored it in a warm-jade box.
• Huo Yuhao recovered Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones from the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Earth Dragon Golden Melon, then prepared to dive into the spring.
• Huo Yuhao used Kamui Intangibility and his Snow Empress Martial Soul to descend through the Ice Spring, while the Snow Empress noted its Ultimate Ice was approaching the temperature of her own.
• Huo Yuhao reached the bottom and used his Spiritual Eye and Dojutsu Power to see the exposed heads of two enormous Dragon Corpses.

Huo Yuhao awakened the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, then showed them the New Dragon Clan he had created and declared his plan to build more Dragon Kings. The Fire Dragon King agreed to give him her body and Crown, and asked him to take the Water Dragon King away to see the new world; the Water Dragon King accepted.

• Huo Yuhao sent Life Power into the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, awakening them in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• The Fire Dragon King asked Huo Yuhao to take the Water Dragon King away, and the Water Dragon King reluctantly agreed.

Huo Yuhao fused with the Water Dragon King as a Soul Spirit, reaching Soul Power level fifty and unlocking the Reproduction sub-authority of [Understanding]. He discovered that Reproduction could turn energy into matter, then concluded that combining [Fantasy] and [Understanding] could create Omnipotence.

• The Fire Dragon King explained that her body and Divine Soul were badly damaged, and asked Huo Yuhao to investigate the fate of her unborn child in the Dragon Tomb.
• The Fire Dragon King began refining the Crown of Fire while the Water Dragon King entered Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness to fuse with him.
• Electrolux, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Water Dragon King used a Divine Power-enhanced Soul Spirit formation to guide the fusion and calm the Water Dragon King's energy.
• The Water Dragon King became Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit, granting him three Blue-Gold Soul Rings and raising his Soul Power to level fifty.
• Huo Yuhao's [Understanding] Authority rose to 25%, unlocking [Reproduction], which he used to materialize a Level Eight Soul Tool Decomposition Cannon from energy.
• Huo Yuhao reasoned that [Fantasy] and [Understanding] could combine through Reproduction to form Omnipotence, and the Water Dragon King manifested outside his body as a Soul Spirit.

Huo Yuhao obtained the Fire and Water Crowns, preserved the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and prepared to consume an Immortal Herb before traveling to the Far North. At Shrek Academy, Xuan Zi began a brutal free-for-all assessment to select the Reserve Team, leaving the students to form plans before the fight started.

• The Fire Dragon King gave Huo Yuhao the Crown of Fire, said farewell to the Water Dragon King, and faded away.

• Huo Yuhao collected two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and dew from the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, then told Youyou and Octagonal to cooperate with Passion.
• Huo Yuhao gave Kiritsugu Emiya the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Pill to clear the poison formation, then consumed the dew while Su Tong cultivated nearby.
• Xuan Zi gathered Shrek Academy's Core Disciples and announced a free-for-all assessment in which surrendering or being carried out meant elimination.
• The students discussed alliances and tactics, while Dai Huabin told Zhu Lu to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to disrupt Mydeimos's group.

Shrek Academy’s Reserve Team assessment began as Mydeimos and Phainon fought off attacks from Dai Huabin, Beibei, and the other Core Disciples. As Huo Suier and the others joined them and the arena shifted toward a team battle, Tang San secretly intervened through Wang Dong’s Clear Sky Hammer.

• Xuan Zi and Long Xiaoyao watched the assessment and discussed Shrek Academy’s reforms, the empires’ plans, and the strength of the younger generation.
• Feng Jin, Castorice, Tribbie, Phainon, and Mydeimos moved toward Sui, but Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu fused into a Hell White Tiger and charged Mydeimos.
• Mydeimos pinned the Hell White Tiger to the arena floor, while Xu Sanshi and Beibei joined other Core Disciples in attacking him.
• Phainon struck Beibei and shielded Mydeimos from the gathered attacks, then Mydeimos defeated Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
• Huo Suier, Feng Jin, Tribbie, and Castorice joined Mydeimos and Phainon, while Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao held back at the arena’s edge.
• Tang San sensed the assessment through Wang Dong’s golden Trident and secretly sent something to the lower realm, causing the Clear Sky Hammer inside her to glow with golden-blue patterns.

Phainon and his allies overwhelmed the Core Disciples in the Reserve Team selection, while Wang Dong was suddenly taken over by Tang San and fought Mydeimos. The tournament ended with seven people still on the field, leaving Wang Dong’s possession and the final selection unresolved.

• The Core Disciples united against Phainon’s group, but Feng Jin protected them with Rainbow Dawn while Huo Suier’s earth skill trapped He Caitou and got him eliminated.
• Mydeimos defeated Beibei, and Phainon knocked Xu Sanshi out of the arena as the encircled group turned the fight around.
• Castorice used the Power of Death to put Ning Tian, Xue Qing, and the other support Soul Masters to sleep, alarming Long Xiaoyao with her power’s purity.
• Wang Dong tried to leave the arena, but Tang San took control of her body and used the Clear Sky Hammer to eliminate Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan before challenging Mydeimos.
• Mydeimos and Tang San’s controlled Wang Dong prepared to clash, but the tournament officials called an end to the selection with seven people remaining.

• Wang Dong declined to go to Xilu City with the others, and Feng Jin used her Soul Skill to help her feel better before she went after Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan.
• Tribbie opened the Hundred Realms Gate, and Phainon and the others traveled to Xilu City, where they planned to find Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
• Xiao Hongchen, who had devoted himself to studying Xilu City's Soul Tool factories and mechanical design, entered the Great Soul Arena to resume fighting.

Mydeimos returned to Xilu City and fought Xiao Hongchen before joining Phainon and the others for a meal and a tour of the rapidly developing city. In Mingdu, Otto offered Ju Zi a path back to the Prince’s Mansion and into the military in exchange for her loyalty, then sent her away to await his arrangements.

• Mydeimos reunited with Xiao Hongchen at the Great Soul Arena, where they fought fiercely until Feng Jin healed their injuries backstage.
• Phainon told Xiao Hongchen that he and the others had been selected for Shrek Academy’s Reserve Team, and Xiao Hongchen challenged them to a team battle at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition.
