• Lin Xia agreed to let Meng Yiran follow him, and Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang left after entrusting her to his care.

Meng Yiran joined Lin Xia’s group and struggled to accept Shrek Academy’s rundown condition, but resolved to stay. After the exhausted travelers returned, Flender recounted the Star Dou Great Forest ordeal to Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang, including Tang San’s grave injuries and Xiao Wu’s safe return.

• Meng Yiran tried to befriend Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as she traveled with Lin Xia’s group toward Shrek Academy.
• At Shrek Academy, Meng Yiran was shocked by its shabby state, but Lin Xia told her she could leave, and she chose to adapt and stay.
• Flender sent the exhausted group to their dormitories and found Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang waiting in his office.
• Flender described the group’s encounters in the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San’s near-fatal injuries, Lin Xia’s intervention, and Xiao Wu’s safe return with a new Soul Ring.

Flender told Yu Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji how a mysterious bull roar had made the Titan Great Ape abandon Xiao Wu, and Yu Xiaogang identified the sound as the Sky Azure Bull Python’s. He explained that the Star Dou Great Forest’s emperor might be even more powerful than the Titan Great Ape, leaving Flender and Zhao Wuji shaken by the revelation.

• Flender recounted how Xiao Wu survived the Titan Great Ape after a majestic bull roar made it turn away, and told them she had reached level 30.
• Yu Xiaogang reacted to the roar’s description and reasoned that the Titan Great Ape had encountered an opponent it could not resist.
• Yu Xiaogang revealed that the Star Dou Great Forest had an emperor called the Sky Azure Bull Python, even more powerful than the Titan Great Ape.
• Yu Xiaogang described both beasts as Super Soul Beasts whose cultivation might exceed two hundred thousand years and whose strength could surpass that of ordinary Titled Douluo.
• Zhao Wuji expressed disbelief that a powerful Soul Beast could speak human words and seemed like a creature from myth.

Flender told Yu Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji how Oscar acquired a nearly two-thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent Soul Ring after the beast escaped from Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran. They learned Oscar’s Third Soul Skill let others fly at the serpent’s speed for one minute, leaving Yu Xiaogang astonished by its strategic value.

• Yu Xiaogang asked Flender what Soul Ring Oscar had obtained for his Third Soul Skill.
• Flender revealed that Oscar had acquired a Thousand Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent Soul Ring, estimated to be close to two thousand years old.
• Flender explained that the serpent had been worn down by Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran before it fled into his group, where Oscar claimed it with Lin Xia present.
• Yu Xiaogang deduced that Oscar’s Third Soul Skill would involve speed, and Flender confirmed it granted true flight at the serpent’s speed for one minute.
• Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang reacted with astonishment as Yu Xiaogang praised the skill’s potential for escape, rescue, scouting, and surprise attacks.

Yu Xiaogang learned that Flender had surrendered Shrek Academy to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and grew alarmed by Lin Xia’s strength and the shadow he cast over Tang San. He went to check on Tang San and found him still unconscious, poisoned, and apparently suffering from more than physical pain.

• Yu Xiaogang warned Flender to nurture and protect Oscar because his Third Soul Ring could greatly improve the team’s mobility and survival.
• Flender told Yu Xiaogang that Shrek Academy now belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin coerced him into surrendering it.
• Yu Xiaogang recalled Lin Xia’s refusal of his offer six years earlier and became troubled by how much Lin Xia’s power seemed to outshine Tang San.
• Yu Xiaogang left the dean’s office to check on Tang San, worried about his injuries and the strange sensation of his soul being stripped away.
• Dai Mubai told Yu Xiaogang that Tang San remained unconscious, with stubborn poison still in his body and signs of distress beyond physical pain.

Yu Xiaogang found Tang San gravely weakened by the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison and depleted Soul Power, but Tang San recovered with startling speed and resumed training after only three days. Watching him, Lin Xia concluded that Tang San's recovery came from his bloodline and that he was never truly a pure-blooded human.

• Yu Xiaogang examined unconscious Tang San and found his Soul Power depleted, his meridians damaged, and residual poison lodged near his nerves and spine.
• Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to recover, burdened by his need for Tang San to prove himself and their theories against Lin Xia.
• Three days later, Tang San trained intensely at Shrek Academy, with most of his wounds healed and his Soul Power circulating again.
• Lin Xia was shocked by Tang San's extraordinary recovery and realized it could not be explained by ordinary cultivation or medicine.
• Lin Xia concluded that Tang San's bloodline was the source of his recovery and his greatest remaining advantage.

Lin Xia decided to pursue the immortal herbs that Tang San was destined to obtain and left Shrek Academy for Heaven Dou City with Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Meng Yiran. He told Flender to run the academy and departed, leaving Flender to face Shrek’s uncertain future alone.

• Lin Xia resolved to take the immortal herbs destined for Tang San after deciding that losing the Man Faced Demon Spider opportunity had not shaken Tang San’s foundation.
• Lin Xia ordered Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Meng Yiran to pack and told them they were going to Heaven Dou City.
• Lin Xia led the three girls to Flender’s office and announced that they were leaving Shrek Academy.
• Lin Xia told Flender to run the academy and said the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s people would soon arrive to take over.
• Flender called after Lin Xia as he and the three girls left, then watched them disappear beyond the academy.

Lin Xia took Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran in a luxurious carriage to Heaven Dou City, intending to visit Heaven Dou Royal Academy and meet Dugu Yan. The group arrived at the imperial capital after Lin Xia’s guards easily drove off bandits along the way.

• Lin Xia summoned a guarded, luxurious carriage and instructed the coachman to take them to Heaven Dou City.
• Lin Xia told the women they would visit Heaven Dou Royal Academy and meet Dugu Yan, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo’s granddaughter.
• Two of Lin Xia’s guards used their Soul Emperor pressure to repel a bandit gang without slowing the carriage.
• After several days of travel, Lin Xia and the three women reached Heaven Dou City.

Lin Xia brought Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran through Heaven Dou City and traveled to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where his status as Gengjin City's lord won them immediate entry. They entered the academy grounds, and Ning Rongrong remarked that its surroundings were far worse than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Meng Shenji introduced Lin Xia as the Gengjin City Lord, surprising the team with his identity and youth.
• Meng Shenji introduced Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran, then announced that all four newcomers would officially join the team.
• The Imperial Dou Team fell silent at the announcement.

Lin Xia joined the Imperial Dou Team with Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran, prompting Yu Tianheng to challenge them to a spar. Lin Xia accepted and unleashed a terrifying pressure that overwhelmed the team and shocked Qin Ming and Meng Shenji.

• Meng Shenji welcomed Lin Xia and the three young women to the Imperial Dou Team, and Yu Tianheng and the others formally greeted the new teammates.
• Yu Tianheng proposed a spar so the team could learn one another’s strengths and fighting styles, and Dugu Yan and several others eagerly supported him.
• Lin Xia accepted the challenge and chose the center of the training ground as the venue.
• Lin Xia raised two fingers without summoning his Soul Rings, releasing a life-level pressure that cracked the Azure Obsidian floor and forced the team to stagger or summon their Martial Souls.
• Qin Ming struggled to withstand Lin Xia’s pressure, while Meng Shenji realized it surpassed ordinary Soul Power and felt like the aura of a primordial beast.

Lin Xia summoned Tyranitar, whose Sandstorm Domain overwhelmed the Imperial Dou Team and left even Qin Ming and Meng Shenji struggling to protect themselves. Lin Xia stopped the sandstorm, but Tyranitar remained towering over the devastated training ground as everyone stared in fear.

• Dugu Yan cried out as a colossal presence appeared at the center of the training ground.
• Tyranitar erupted into view and unleashed a Sandstorm Domain that engulfed the Imperial Dou Team.

• Lin Xia raised his hand and instantly stopped the sandstorm.
• Tyranitar remained in the training ground, staring down at the shaken people below.

Lin Xia ended the Imperial Dou Team’s spar after summoning Tyranitar and overwhelming them with its power. The team admitted defeat, and Tyranitar shrank to a tiny, cute form and clung to Lin Xia’s trouser leg.

• Lin Xia asked the battered Imperial Dou Team whether they still wanted to fight.
• Yu Tianheng, the other team members, and Qin Ming admitted defeat, while Meng Shenji agreed the spar should end.
• Lin Xia told Tyranitar to shrink because the fight was over.
• Tyranitar shrank from a hundred-meter giant into a tiny creature and hurried to Lin Xia’s feet.
• Tyranitar latched onto Lin Xia’s trouser leg and shook it while looking up at him.

Lin Xia rewarded little Tyranitar with Star Marrow ore, and Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling asked to touch the tiny beast. After Lin Xia gave them permission and reassured Tyranitar through their Mental Link, Tyranitar pointed at Lin Xia as Dugu Yan reached toward its back.

• Lin Xia gave little Tyranitar a piece of Star Marrow ore, which it eagerly devoured.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling asked Lin Xia if they could touch Tyranitar, and he warned them to be gentle.
• Lin Xia granted permission, and Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling cautiously approached Tyranitar as it paused eating and eyed them warily.
• Lin Xia reassured Tyranitar through their Mental Link, and Dugu Yan slowly reached toward its back.
• Tyranitar made a questioning sound and pointed its claw at Lin Xia.

Lin Xia let Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling touch Tyranitar after paying him with ore. Their contact revealed the immense, ancient life energy within him, while his appetite and playful temperament eased their fear.

• Tyranitar demanded more ore from Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling before allowing them to touch him, and Lin Xia explained the terms.
• Lin Xia gave Tyranitar two pieces of Earth Vein Topaz, and Tyranitar let the girls stroke his armor while he ate.
• Dugu Yan felt warmth and vitality beneath Tyranitar's armor, while Ye Lingling sensed a vast life force that seemed to come from the earth's core.
• Dugu Yan grew comfortable enough to poke Tyranitar's head, and he impatiently shook her hand away before returning to his ore.
• Lin Xia told Dugu Yan that Tyranitar had loved eating ore since he was Larvitar and was usually easy to deal with if he had enough ore.

After Tyranitar finished eating and returned to Lin Xia’s Martial Soul Space, the Imperial Dou Team recovered from its overwhelming presence. Yu Tianheng and the others accepted that Lin Xia’s power far surpassed what they had imagined, leaving Yu Tianheng utterly convinced and humbled.

• Little Tyranitar ate the last of the Topaz Ore, then tugged at Lin Xia until he recalled it to the Martial Soul Space to sleep.
• The training ground’s occupants relaxed after Tyranitar disappeared, while Qin Ming admitted that Lin Xia’s reputation had understated his power.
• Lin Xia reassured everyone that Tyranitar was gentle unless provoked or his loved ones were threatened.
• Dugu Yan asked Ye Lingling to confirm that the tiny ore-eating Tyranitar and the colossal beast were the same creature.
• Yu Tianheng praised Lin Xia as a monster beyond the label of genius and bowed in sincere awe.

After Tyranitar’s overwhelming display, Lin Xia showed Yu Tianheng and the others Gengjin City’s soul-guide progress and explained his plans to transform the continent. With the training ground wrecked, Qin Ming admitted that the day’s planned team-coordination drills could not go ahead.

• Yu Tianheng and the others praised Lin Xia’s strength after Tyranitar’s display, and Lin Xia presented Gengjin City as the purpose behind his work.
