Tang San trapped Dai Mubai with poisoned Blue Silver Grass, but Dai Mubai broke free using his third Spirit Skill, White Tiger Adamantine Transformation. The fight continued as Dai Mubai emerged stronger and the Rose Hotel lobby lay in ruins.

• Tang San ensnared Dai Mubai in Blue Silver Grass, prompting Dai Mubai to use his first two Spirit Skills to break free and destroy much of the Rose Hotel lobby.
• Xiao Wu cheered Tang San on, while Zhu Zhuqing lost hope in Dai Mubai after seeing him trapped.

• Zhu Zhuqing overheard their conversation, introduced herself to Xiao Wu and Tang San, and agreed to explore Suotuo City with them.
• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing found a hotel with only two rooms available because Shrek Academy’s admissions had brought many visitors to Suotuo City.
• Xiao Wu booked the two rooms and said she would share one with Zhu Zhuqing, while Tang San was left to carry their belongings upstairs.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing found the tiny village that housed Shrek Academy and were shocked by its shabby entrance and appearance. They joined the applicants and watched the registration begin, where the old attendant demanded a ten-Gold-Soul-Coin fee.

• Xiao Wu questioned whether they had found the right academy, but Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing confirmed the address and decided to stay.
• Tang San listened as the old registrar demanded ten Gold Soul Coins from a youth, then told the youth's father to pay or leave.

• The old man rejected the boy for being over the age limit and refused to return the registration fee his father had paid.

• Xiao Wu condemned Dai Mubai for bullying the father and son, and Zhu Zhuqing rushed forward with her.
• Zhu Zhuqing demanded that the old man return the father's money, but he praised her and Xiao Wu's Soul Power and ordered Dai Mubai to remove them.

At Shrek Academy’s registration line, the applicants learned that the school only accepted young Soul Masters above Level 21, and the old man revealed himself as a Spirit Emperor.

• Zhu Zhuqing refused to let the academy keep the father and son’s fee, and Dai Mubai recognized her as an old acquaintance and paid them ten Gold Soul Coins himself.

• Dai Mubai tried to escort them past the queue, but Xiao Wu rebuked him and the examiner confirmed their Soul Power qualified them to go straight to the fourth round.

• Tang San recognized Zhao Wuji’s name as the Immovable Ming King and recalled his past clash with Spirit Hall.
• Dai Mubai revealed that Spirit Hall had come to the academy and killed Teacher Zhao.

Dai Mubai told Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing that Lin Du had defeated Shrek Academy and killed Zhao Wuji, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing pushed back against Tang San’s claim that everyone in Spirit Hall was bad. Dai Mubai began the Fourth Trial by fighting the three of them, and Xiao Wu’s opening attack broke through his barrier but failed to seriously hurt him.

• Dai Mubai recalled Lin Du defeating Shrek Academy’s teachers and students and killing Zhao Wuji, explaining that Lin Du was a Spirit Emperor and Spirit Hall’s Saint Son.
• Tang San condemned Spirit Hall, but Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing said good and bad people existed there, so Dai Mubai ended the discussion and led them to the Fourth Trial.

Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing defeated Dai Mubai in a three-on-one fight, and he surrendered before Zhu Zhuqing's finishing attack. Dai Mubai recovered with Oscar's sausages as Zhu Zhuqing's disappointment with him and Shrek remained clear.

• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing coordinated with Tang San to overwhelm Dai Mubai, whose defenses gave way under their attacks and Tang San's poisonous vines.
• Dai Mubai surrendered, and Zhu Zhuqing stopped her claws just short of his throat and ear before withdrawing her Martial Soul Possession.
• Tang San recalled his Blue Silver Grass, while Xiao Wu mocked Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing apologized to him.
• Dai Mubai called Oscar for healing sausages, and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing reacted with disgust to Oscar's strange incantation.
• Oscar's Great Sausage healed Dai Mubai's injuries, and his Small Cured Sausage dispelled the paralysis poison.

After joining Shrek Academy as prospective students, Tang San settled in with Oscar, warned him against pursuing Xiao Wu or Zhu Zhuqing, and learned that the academy’s last student was called Fatty. The next morning, Tang San completed his cultivation and went to find Xiao Wu, meeting her and Zhu Zhuqing as they left their dormitory.

• Tang San met his roommate Oscar, who introduced himself as a level-29 food-type Tool Soul Master and complained that the academy’s two new female students were already taken.
