• The three factions withdrew their displays and introduced their leaders, with Chen Li presenting himself as a Rank 9 Soul Engineer and Qiangu Yifang naming his nephews Qiangu Yifeng and Qiangu Yifan.

The Qiangu Family, Yue Family, and Dragon Elephant Sect gathered to form an alliance and reclaim the legacy of Spirit Hall while Shrek was weakened. Qiangu Yifang presented an Angel God sculpture as evidence of his family’s inheritance, and the Angel Clan members knelt before it.

• The Qiangu, Yue, and Dragon Elephant families introduced their leaders, while Chen Ming noticed that the Yue Family’s Six-Winged Angel Martial Souls seemed hollow compared with Ye Guyi’s.
• The Dragon Elephant Sect built a fortified camp that unsettled the other two families, whose camps became more guarded and moved farther away.
• Qiangu Yifang proposed that the three families unite to clear their reputations as remnants of Spirit Hall and restore its glory.
• Le Zheng and Chen Li agreed to Qiangu Yifang’s proposal, and the leaders concealed their families’ compromised histories behind claims of legitimate inheritance.
• Qiangu Yifang presented a First Generation Angel God Sculpture, which radiated divinity and led the Angel Clan members, including Le Zheng, to kneel.

The Angel Clan revealed the Holy Angel Wisdom Crown, and Electrolux identified it as a seed that could help a suitable Level 99 inheritor forge a new Angel God Position. Chen Ming realized the crown had been stolen from Ye Guyi’s ancestors and that the Yue Family could not use it, while Le Zheng regarded it as the Angel Clan’s hope for revival.

• Le Zheng countered Qiangu Yifang’s claim to the Angel God statue by presenting the Holy Angel Wisdom Crown as the Angel Clan’s orthodox legacy.
• The crown’s divine aura made most people kneel, while Chen Ming remained standing and felt his Light Attribute respond to it.

• Le Zheng treated the crown as the Angel Clan’s chance to restore its power and eventually produce a new Angel God.

The Dragon Elephant Sect joined the Yue Family and Qiangu Family in displaying their inheritance treasures, then the three families agreed to choose an alliance leader through a contest among their juniors.

• Chen Ming used Electrolux's light-based disguise to make the Dragon Elephant Sect's Divine Armor Chestplate Fragment appear to retain Divinity.
• Chen Li, Le Zheng, and Qiangu Yifang agreed that juniors would compete to determine which family led their alliance.

Chen Ming faced Le Lingshan, a powerful Six-winged Angel Soul Sage, and overwhelmed him with immense physical strength before Le Lingshan unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar and Angel Domain. Le Lingshan’s Holy Light Evil-Slaying Slash consumed Chen Ming’s imitation Dark Gold Dreadclaw, leaving the duel unresolved.

• Chen Ming deduced that Le Lingshan had grown strong by killing Evil Soul Masters, while Le Lingshan was astonished by Chen Ming’s cultivation and blood-red Soul Rings.
• Le Lingshan used his first three Soul Skills to enhance himself and attacked with his Holy Sword, but Chen Ming used Gravity Control to disrupt his flight and broke his sword and arm with a claw strike.
• Le Lingshan activated Six-winged Angel True Body, formed a Holy Sword, and spread his Angel Domain before charging Chen Ming with Holy Light Evil-Slaying Slash.
• Chen Ming answered with an imitation Dark Gold Dreadclaw, but Le Lingshan’s empowered sword energy swallowed the claw radiance after consuming much of his Soul Power.

Chen Ming defeated Le Lingshan, then faced Qiangu Changhe in the next match. As Qiangu Changhe awakened the Coiling Dragon Staff’s dragon soul and pressured Chen Ming with his staff technique, the phantom Vajra Dragon Elephant in Chen Ming’s mind began to change.

• The pressure of Qiangu Changhe’s attacks stirred the phantom Vajra Dragon Elephant in Chen Ming’s mind, beginning a transformation.

Chen Ming and Qiangu Changhe used their battle to temper their respective wills, culminating in a clash between Chen Ming’s Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison and Qiangu Changhe’s Heaven and Earth Move. The fight ended without either falling, and Chen Ping broke through to Super Douluo while Chen Ming guarded his meditation.

• Chen Ming lowered his attributes and used Qiangu Changhe’s Coiled Dragon Staff attacks to cultivate his own intent as Qiangu Changhe sharpened his Staff Intent.

She revealed that she had sealed away Rakshasa God power and a fragment of its God Position, leaving Chen Ming to consider what to do with them.

• Qian Renxue asked Chen Ming and Electrolux to watch over a child until the child could inherit her Angel God seed.
• Qian Renxue offered Electrolux a Pure Light Crystal, and Chen Ming agreed to her request after Electrolux judged the treasure worthwhile.

• Chen Ming hid the dagger, pretended to wake from a dream, and told Le Zheng that the Angel God had revealed the truth about the Holy Angel Wisdom Crown.

Chen Ming had Electrolux begin refining a Divine Artifact with rare materials and Soul Power supplied by Mingde Hall, while the God Realm Hub detected the emergence of high-purity Divine Power.

• The God of Destruction insisted on staying with Tang San, and Xiao Wu agreed to host him and the God of Life, preventing Tang San from acting freely.
• Unable to use Divine Descent without alerting the God of Destruction, Tang San withdrew and used Asura God's Divine Power to contact his High Priest on the Douluo Continent.

Electrolux forged the cleansed Myriad Soul Banner into a Divine Artifact and linked it to himself and Chen Ming, giving it nine Soul Rings and powerful undead abilities. Chen Ming’s Soul Power rose to level seventy-one through a loophole in the world’s rules, while Electrolux promised to teach him to create Lifebound Soul Rings but said his Body Martial Soul could not skip straight to its seventh ring.

• Electrolux purified the Myriad Soul Banner, reforged it with rare materials and Life Gold, and infused it with part of his soul as its artifact spirit.

• Chen Ming regained control of his body and found that the energy left behind by the forging had raised his Soul Power from level sixty-nine to level seventy-one.
• Electrolux explained that the banner’s nine Soul Rings had bypassed the usual Soul Power limit, then advised Chen Ming to obtain a Seventh Soul Ring and promised to teach him to make Lifebound Soul Rings.
• Chen Ming asked whether his Body Martial Soul could skip directly to its seventh ring, but Electrolux said Soul Rings had to be added in sequence and told him to wait until Electrolux recovered.

After Electrolux’s forging demonstration sent Mingde Hall’s senior Soul Engineers into seclusion, Chen Ming delivered pills to his friends and encouraged Huo Yuhao before beginning to study Soul Rings and plan his own breakthroughs. Electrolux began advising him on strengthening his Behemoth traits and forming Soul Cores, recalling his own battle with the Golden Behemoth King.

• Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming, and many Rank 9 Soul Engineers entered closed-door cultivation after learning from Electrolux’s artifact-forging techniques.

Chen Ming accepted Huo Yuhao’s request to try out for the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s tournament team, while Electrolux warned that the event’s pull of destiny could not easily be resisted. As the academy prepared to choose its members, Wang Dong’er worried about competing despite her inability to use Soul Tools.

• Electrolux judged that the Golden Behemoth King was too difficult to defeat and abandoned the hunt, though he added two Rank Eight Behemoths to his undead army.

• Electrolux supported Huo Yuhao’s participation, and Chen Ming agreed that he would compete for a place through the academy’s normal assessment.
• As students prepared and placed bets on the team selection, Wang Dong’er worried about joining despite her severe reaction to Soul Tools and her demotion to Class Seven.

Wang Dong'er sought teammates for the tournament and tried to recruit Huo Yuhao, whose return from Mingde Hall had made him the target of Class One's strongest students. After Huo Yuhao initially rejected her because she could not use Soul Tools, their Martial Souls resonated when she grabbed his hand, and Wang Dong'er impulsively asked to team up with him for life.

• Wang Dong'er decided to enter the tournament and look beyond Class Seven for capable teammates.
• Wang Dong'er found Class One's top students competing desperately for a chance to join Huo Yuhao's team.

• Wang Dong'er grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand, causing their Martial Souls to resonate, and asked him to form a Soul Master team with her for the rest of their lives.

Chen Ming and Electrolux discussed how Tang San could use Wang Dong'er as bait to control Huo Yuhao, and decided to wait while they secretly built their strength. When Wang Dong'er sought Huo Yuhao out because their Soul Powers seemed perfectly compatible, Huo Yuhao rejected his own possessive impulses by slapping himself, leaving her and the onlookers bewildered.

• Chen Ming compared Wang Dong'er’s harmless approach to bait meant to lure Huo Yuhao, and Electrolux explained how Tang San could later turn that bait into a means of control.
• Chen Ming and Electrolux agreed to stay hidden, let Tang San’s interference continue, and use the time to prepare for a future counterattack.
• Huo Yuhao learned that his Soul Power compatibility with Wang Dong'er was nearly one hundred percent, making them exceptionally suited to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Huo Yuhao slapped himself six times and condemned his thoughts of claiming Wang Dong'er for his own benefit, comparing that selfishness to Dai Hao.
• Wang Dong'er questioned whether Huo Yuhao was sane, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began reconsidering his selfishness toward the Ice Empress and Chen Ming, Electrolux, and the Evil Eye Soul Spirit watched in shock.
