Lin Yi and Mu En returned to the Extreme North’s central region after Lin Yi’s pain forced them to turn back, where they waited to discover what had drawn him there.

Mu En defeated Li Pingxiang, a Level 9 Soul Engineer who had tried to capture a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, while Lin Yi studied Mu En’s King's Descent and interrogated the captive. After learning what the embryo and its sealing Soul Tool were, Lin Yi killed Li Pingxiang and waited with Mu En for Huo Yuhao to finish absorbing the Ice Empress, preparing to return to Shrek Academy.

• Lin Yi and Mu En returned to Shrek Academy after witnessing Huo Yuhao gain Extreme Ice and a four-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.
• Lin Yi decided to study the unidentified Soul Beast Embryo instead of absorbing it, and Electrolux warned that its hatred was immense and its origin stronger than Ice Empress's.

• The God of Light warned Lin Yi that his restraint over Snow Empress was his only advantage and that he could not risk losing it.
• Lin Yi asked Electrolux for another way to restrain Snow Empress, and Electrolux said a special method from his world could help.

Lin Yi arranged a contract with Snow Empress so Electrolux could heal her damaged origin with the life force of Spirit Gold, allowing her to return to her Soul Beast form. As the contract took effect, Lin Yi absorbed her icy power and began to experience a profound transformation.

• Electrolux explained that he would stay in the Second Spiritual Sea to repair his divine soul and could now be considered Lin Yi’s Second Martial Soul.
• The God of Light told Lin Yi that the Snow Empress had returned to the Extreme North with her injuries healed and had gained the Extreme Life Attribute.
• Lin Yi considered the Snow Empress’s Blood Contract with him and decided to find something to eat.

• Lin Yi realized his abandoned skewers were gone and lamented them.

Lin Yi tried to trade two high-quality Soul Bones for Wang Dong’s Golden Earth Dragon King Soul Bone, but gave up after Beibei explained his concerns and left generous compensation. That night, Lin Yi secretly had the God of Light and Electrolux seal the Sea God Imprint inside Wang Dong, then returned to find Mu En waiting with a warning.

• Cai Mei'er and the Inner Court teachers praised Lin Yi’s battle, while Ouyang Xi fled in embarrassment after hearing his final remark.

• Mu En confronted Lin Yi at the Sea God Pavilion and warned him not to cross the line he had once described as his Radiance.

• Elder Song proposed three matches to help the teams understand one another and assigned Lin Yi to face the Reserve Team.

Lin Yi faced the seven-member Reserve Team in a sparring match, while Beibei briefed his teammates on Lin Yi’s overwhelming strength and helped them devise a coordinated plan. After Lin Yi eliminated He Caitou, the other six combined their abilities to land a full-force attack, leaving Beibei unsure whether Lin Yi could continue fighting.

• Beibei warned the Reserve Team that Lin Yi had easily defeated a Soul Emperor and five Soul Kings, then told them to keep their eyes closed and rely on Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Detection Sharing.
• Elder Song began the match with a challenge that made Lin Yi abandon his plan to go easy on the Reserve Team, and Beibei ordered everyone to close their eyes as Huo Yuhao shared his vision.
• Lin Yi evaded the team’s attacks and used Lightning Threads to dismantle He Caitou’s Soul Tool attacks before disabling his Soul Tools and eliminating him.
• Huo Yuhao identified the brief pause when Lin Yi shifted from lightning into physical form, and the Reserve Team coordinated an ambush around that opening.
• Xu Sanshi exchanged places with Huo Yuhao and stunned Lin Yi long enough for Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Jiang Nannan, and Beibei to unleash their strongest attacks.
• Beibei struck Lin Yi with Purple Radiant Thunder, and the Reserve Team waited to see whether he could continue fighting after taking their combined assault.

• A towering figure emerged from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’s fusion, appeared behind Lin Yi, and swung a gigantic blood-red hammer at his head.

Lin Yi survived Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then used his support abilities to heal and restore the Reserve Team before the mixed-team battles. Ma Xiaotao’s team, led by Lin Yi’s support and Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Detection Sharing, defeated Dai Yueheng’s team in under a minute.

• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong struck Lin Yi with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but his Golden Protection broke to reveal his intact Bright Yellow Armor, and they conceded.
• Elder Song ordered the Reserve Team to recover for half an hour before mixed-team battles, and Lin Yi healed their injuries and restored their Soul Power with Golden Growth and his Golden Domain.

After Shrek’s sparring sessions, Lin Yi privately warned Dai Yueheng that Dai Huabin had ordered the attack on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and urged him to have the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion offer Shrek an explanation.

• The mixed-team battles continued, and the students found that Lin Yi and Gongyang Mo’s combined support made their side exceptionally difficult to defeat.

The Observer’s Rings reflected Lin Yi and Zhang Lexuan’s reforms to protect Inner Court students, and the chapter ended with Beibei and the others discovering the upgraded loadout.

• Elder Song explained the dangers of Evil Soul Masters and the Shrek Inspection Team’s mission, and the seven Reserve Team members chose to join.
