Four years after the Clear Sky Sect’s defection crisis, Lin Yuan and his companions had grown stronger at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while the resource-starved sect established Haotian Academy. The chapter left the two sides developing separately, with Lin Yuan nearing Soul Sage and several companions reaching Soul King or Soul Emperor strength.

• After Tang Yuehua stopped supplying provisions, the Clear Sky Sect ran out of resources and secretly established Haotian Advanced Spirit Master Academy in a Heaven Dou Empire city.

The Clear Sky Sect reopened its presence through an academy for wealthy students, while Bibi Dong struggled to break through to Level Ninety-nine after condensing an Attribute Soul Core. Tang San’s hunt for a suitable Second Soul Ring ended in disaster when a ten-year Lone Bamboo sacrificed itself and gave him a nearly useless skill.

• The Clear Sky Sect founded an academy to recruit wealthy students and support its resources, while Spirit Hall did not move to suppress its return.

• Tang Hao planned to train Tang San beneath a waterfall in Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer while Yu Xiaogang taught him Martial Soul Theory.

• Tang San and Yu Xiaogang traveled to Suotuo City, where Tang San bargained for a piece of Plate Crystal and avoided meeting Dai Mubai.
• Tang San arrived alone at Shrek Academy, found it in a rundown village, and joined the line of applicants to register.

Tang San tried to enroll at Shrek Academy, but Li Yusong rejected him after seeing his Ten-Year second Soul Ring. Tang San challenged the decision and mocked the academy's poor facilities as Dai Mubai defended its reputation.

• Tang San criticized Shrek Academy's rundown facilities, while Dai Mubai boasted about its powerful Teachers and focused instruction, persuading the waiting families.

Tang San challenged Li Yusong’s judgment of his Soul Rings, prompting Li to order Dai Mubai to test him for a chance to enroll at Shrek Academy. Tang San began fighting Dai Mubai, whose White Tiger Martial Soul shattered his Blue Silver Entanglement, and the battle continued as Tang San hurled stones and logs at him.

• Tang San rebuked Li Yusong for criticizing his Soul Ring configuration and pointed out that Li’s first Soul Ring was also a ten-year white one.

• Tang San used Blue Silver Entanglement, but Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Bodyguard shattered the vines.
• Tang San controlled the remaining Blue Silver Grass to hurl stones and logs at Dai Mubai.

Tang San fought Dai Mubai with hidden weapons and evasive techniques, then used a pole-vaulting Soul Skill to get behind him and pierce his back with Dragon Whisker Needles. Dai Mubai screamed in pain as the needles burrowed into his muscles.

• Dai Mubai mocked Tang San’s white Second Soul Ring and destroyed his first barrage of wood and stones.
• Tang San used Mysterious Jade Hand to fire poisoned Hidden Weapons, and Dai Mubai countered with White Tiger Fierce Light Wave.
• Tang San dodged the light wave and continued attacking, forcing Dai Mubai to activate White Tiger Diamond Transformation and charge through the Blue Silver Grass.
• Tang San used Blue Silver Pole Vault to leap over Dai Mubai and fired two Dragon Whisker Needles into his unguarded back.
• Dai Mubai howled as the Dragon Whisker Needles pierced his muscles and their curled whiskers spread through his flesh.

• Flender revealed himself, praised Tang San, and admitted him despite concerns about his Second Soul Ring configuration.
• Flender reprimanded Dai Mubai for underestimating Tang San and urged him to learn from the loss.
• Flender called Oscar, who arrived with his sausage cart and teased the injured Dai Mubai before making Recovery Big Sausages.
• Tang San warned Dai Mubai not to remove the embedded needles himself, then used his Mysterious Jade Hands to extract the Dragon Whisker Needles.
• Dai Mubai ate Oscar's sausages, recovered from the worst of the pain, admitted he had underestimated Tang San, and proposed a rematch.

Tang San and the original Shrek students came together, while Tang Hao secretly punished Li Yusong for mistreating applicants. In Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Academy prepared for a highly publicized exchange match against Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy, drawing intense attention before the contest began.

• Tang San declined Dai Mubai's challenge, and Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar became acquainted before Ma Hongjun joined Shrek's original student lineup.
• Tang Hao ambushed Li Yusong at night and beat him after accusing him of bullying the weak at the academy gates.
• Flender accepted Tang San because he knew Tang San was Tang Hao's son and a Twin Martial Souls wielder with exceptional potential.

• Heaven Dou Royal Academy held the match at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena and sold tickets publicly, prompting debate over whether it was exposing its team's strengths.
• The exchange match drew crowds from across Heaven Dou City, and tickets sold out as the city buzzed with anticipation.

Lin Yuan examined the Exchange Match rosters to identify forces with Diary Copies and discovered that several powerful figures had joined the two visiting academies. He left stunned by Skywater Academy’s roster, which included Gu Yuena and other legendary beings.

• Lin Yuan reviewed Blazing Fire Academy’s roster and noticed that Huo Wu’s Soul Power was unusually high.
• Lin Yuan spotted Di Qiu'er, a Level 63 Soul Emperor with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul, and recognized her as the Star Dou Great Forest’s Auspicious Beast.
• Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan acted surprised at Di Qiu'er’s strength while Lin Yuan watched their performance.
• Lin Yuan inferred from their levels that Shui Bing'er likely had a Diary Copy, while Xue Wu’s cultivation remained close to its original level.
• Lin Yuan found Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Gu Yuena, and Zi Ji listed as Skywater Academy students, each displaying Soul Emperor-level cultivation.

Lin Yuan deduced that Gu Yuena, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress had used a system reward, likely Human Form Pills, to blend into human society while retaining their strength. At the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Shrek’s students watched as Qin Ming brought them to Heaven Dou City after a training trip to Suotuo City.

• Lin Yuan reasoned that the Ice Empress and Snow Empress had received a system reward that let them assume flawless human forms and conceal their true strength.
• Lin Yuan rejected Qin Ming’s proposal to take the strongest members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team to Suotuo City, allowing him to bring reserve members instead.
• Qin Ming led Yu Feng, Osler, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Yu Tianheng, and two other students to the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena for training.
• Qin Ming brought Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others back to Heaven Dou City after the training trip.
• Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Shrek’s students watched from the Outer Arena at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Tang San and the other Shrek students learned that Yu Tianheng had been relegated to a substitute on Heaven Dou Team One, whose members had grown far stronger under Lin Yuan.

• Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun to watch Heaven Dou Team One and study its fighters.
• Flender and Yu Xiaogang were shocked to learn that Yu Tianheng, a level forty-one Soul Ancestor, had become a substitute.
• The chapter revealed that Lin Yuan, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhu Yun, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling formed the main roster, and all had reached Soul King level.
• Ma Hongjun and Oscar doubted Qin Ming's claims, but Dai Mubai warned that Heaven Dou Team One might have seven Soul Ancestors or stronger, with its captain nearing the Soul King realm.

Yu Xiaogang revealed that Lin Yuan had been a prodigy at Nuoding Academy, leaving Tang San and the Shrek students stunned by the gap between their abilities. As the Three-School Exchange Match began, Lin Yuan speculated in his diary about the disguised Fierce Beasts in the opposing teams, and the draw paired Heaven Dou Team against Blazing Fire Team first.

• Yu Xiaogang told Flender and the Shrek students that Lin Yuan had broken through level twenty at just over eight years old and might now be a high-level Soul Ancestor, leaving Tang San jealous and the others shocked.
• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan arrived at the Great Soul Arena on Bibi Dong's orders to investigate the teams competing in the exchange match.
• Lin Yuan's diary expressed shock at the Fierce Beasts and unusually powerful students on the Blazing Fire and Skywater rosters, then speculated that the Auspicious Beast's destiny power had drawn them to him.
• Gu Yuena and the other Fierce Beasts recognized that Lin Yuan's diary had supplied a plausible cover for their presence, though he was privately using it to conceal his knowledge of their diary copies.
• The host announced an individual wheel battle with a maximum of three participants per team, and the captains drew lots for the opening match.
• The draw paired Heaven Dou Team with Blazing Fire Team first, while Skywater Team received a bye and Huo Wushuang reacted with surprise.

Xiao Wu defeated Blazing Fire Team captain Huo Wushuang in one strike during the first Individual Match, stunning the audience and Spirit Hall’s observers. Xie Yue and Hu Liena questioned whether Xiao Wu’s charm and teleportation abilities resembled Hu Liena’s combat path.

• Lin Yuan let Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing decide who would fight first with rock-paper-scissors, and Xiao Wu won.
• Blazing Fire Team sent captain Huo Wushuang first because he was only their third-strongest member and they hoped to probe Heaven Dou Team’s strength.
• The arena revealed Xiao Wu was a Level Fifty-Nine Soul King with three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, shocking the audience, Xue Ye, Salas, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena.
• Huo Wushuang charged Xiao Wu with his enhanced fire attacks, but Xiao Wu used Charm to stun him, teleported in close, and kicked him out of the arena in one hit.
• Xie Yue asked Hu Liena whether Xiao Wu followed a similar mental-control path, and Hu Liena noted Xiao Wu was classified as an Assault Type Soul Master and had used Teleportation.

Xiao Wu decisively defeated Blazing Fire Academy’s first fighter and then faced vice-captain Huo Wu, whose strength and Ten-thousand-Year Soul Ring drew attention. As the match continued, Xiao Wu used Wind God Leg and swift footwork to pressure Huo Wu, leaving their duel unresolved.

• Xiao Wu defeated Blazing Fire Academy’s first fighter in one hit, shocking the audience and Yu Xiaogang, who could not explain her Soul Ring configuration to Tang San.

• Xiao Wu circled Huo Wu at high speed with Wind God Leg and Lightness Kung Fu Footwork, leaving Huo Wu struggling to track her.

Xiao Wu defeated Huo Wu with a sustained barrage of Wind God Leg techniques, and the spectators learned that her attacks came from a cultivation method rather than a Wind Attribute Martial Soul. Blazing Fire Team then sent out Di Qiu'er, whose Level 66 cultivation and extraordinary Soul Ring configuration stunned the arena as she faced Xiao Wu.

• Xiao Wu exhausted Huo Wu's Soul Power with chained kicks and wind attacks, shattered her Resist Fire Ring, and hurled her out of the arena.
• Xue Ye asked Ning Fengzhi about Xiao Wu's Wind Blades, and Ning Fengzhi explained that she created them by compressing air with controlled Soul Power and leg strength.
• Yan and Xie Yue marveled at Xiao Wu's abilities, while Hu Liena recognized that Xiao Wu had held back and Feng Xiaotian compared her Wind God Leg techniques with his own.
• Huo Wu asked Di Qiu'er to take the field, and Di Qiu'er agreed before walking out to face Xiao Wu.
• The arena's screen revealed Di Qiu'er as a Level 66 Assault Battle Soul Emperor with a Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul and Purple Purple Black Black Black Black Soul Rings, shocking the spectators and officials.
• Gu Rong privately urged Ning Fengzhi to recruit Huo Wu and Di Qiu'er, but Ning Fengzhi doubted they would leave their family-backed academies.

As Xiao Wu prepared to fight Di Qiu'er, Lin Yuan revealed through his diary how Tang San had manipulated the Auspicious Beast into sacrificing herself for Huo Yuhao. The revelations left Di Qiu'er shaken and the chat group furious, as the story remained on the eve of Xiao Wu and Di Qiu'er's battle.

• Zi Ji and Gu Yuena discussed Di Qiu'er's chances against Xiao Wu, while Gu Yuena warned that Xiao Wu's defensive and teleportation skills could make the fight difficult.
• Ning Rongrong worried about Xiao Wu facing the much stronger Di Qiu'er, but Lin Yuan trusted Xiao Wu to withdraw if needed and reminded her to limit her use of Invincible Golden Body.
• Lin Yuan wrote that Di Qiu'er would eventually sacrifice herself for Huo Yuhao, shocking Di Qiu'er and prompting the chat group to question how such a fate could happen.
• Lin Yuan revealed that Tang San had orchestrated Huo Yuhao's bond with the Auspicious Beast, implanted part of Tang Wutong's soul in her, obscured her foresight, and engineered her sacrifice to benefit Huo Yuhao and his daughter.
• The Diary System shared the full account with the chat group, and Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and others condemned Tang San's scheme.

Xiao Wu fought Di Qiu'er in the third Individual Match and discovered that Di Qiu'er's formidable Spiritual Power and Eye of Destiny could thwart her usual tactics. After the two exchanged close-range attacks, Di Qiu'er trapped Xiao Wu in a persistent sea of golden flames and followed up with a Light Spear as Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body neared its limit.

• Di Qiu'er unleashed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Extreme Flame and Extreme Light, whose pressure startled Qian Renxue, Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Bo.
• Xiao Wu's Bewitchment barely distracted Di Qiu'er, and Di Qiu'er's Eye of Destiny caused Xiao Wu's Teleportation to misfire and nearly carry her out of the arena.
• Di Qiu'er attacked with Golden Lion Claw, while Xiao Wu used Space Massacre and Wind God Leg techniques to cut Di Qiu'er and trade blows.
• Di Qiu'er unleashed Burning Sky Golden Flame, and Xiao Wu blocked the attack with Invincible Golden Body, but the flames continued clinging to her protective shield.
• As Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body approached its five-second limit, Di Qiu'er formed a Light Spear and swept it toward her through the flames.

Dugu Yan defeated Di Qiu'er in the fourth Individual Match, using the True Dragon Nine Transformations to overcome her extreme attributes and poison her defenses. Her victory secured Heaven Dou Team its first point and left Yu Tianxin questioning the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s inheritance.

• Di Qiu'er used her Eye of Destiny to interfere with Xiao Wu’s Teleportation, sending Xiao Wu outside the arena and eliminating her.
• Lin Yuan comforted Xiao Wu, then let Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuyun decide who would face Di Qiu'er; Dugu Yan won rock-paper-scissors.
• Dugu Bo warned Dugu Yan about the superior dragon bloodline he sensed in Di Qiu’er before Dugu Yan entered the arena.
• Dugu Yan used Jade Phosphorous Berserk and the True Dragon Nine Transformations to evade Di Qiu’er’s attacks, break her defenses, and withstand her golden flames.

• Yu Tianxin watched Dugu Yan’s techniques in shock and questioned whether they came from her Martial Soul or self-created Soul Skills.
