• Ye Lan’s group rested in Silves City, where they heard that the Shrek Team had killed the Fierce God Team with Hidden Weapons; Tang San left without attacking Ye Lan, while Tang Hao secretly sensed powerful protectors nearby.
• Ye Lan’s group traveled from Suotuo City into the Star Dou Great Forest, where Ye Lan used his Nature Domain to communicate with plants and find Xiong Er and Da Ju.

• Ye Lan reassured Xiao Xue that he would tell her about two cultivation methods later, then meditated to locate a Tourmaline Spirit Fox for Ning Rongrong.

Ye Lan led the group to find a Soul Beast for Ning Rongrong, who killed a Tourmaline Spirit Fox and successfully absorbed its 2,200-year Soul Ring, reaching level 35. The group then found a Thousand-Hearted Healing Flower for Ye Lingling, but Ye Lan began communicating with the submissive plant instead of immediately hunting it.

• Ye Lan guided the group to a Tourmaline Spirit Fox, and Zhu Zhuqing pursued and killed it with Ning Rongrong's enhancements.

Ye Lan helped Ye Lingling absorb the Thousand-Hearted Healing Flower, then led the group to find a suitable Soul Ring for Dugu Yan. They uncovered a Swamp Poison Dragon in a poisonous marsh, and the battle was underway when Xiao Xue prepared to counter its attack.

• Ye Lingling healed the injured soul beasts with her Nine Heart Sacred Begonia, allowing the Thousand-Hearted Healing Flower to sacrifice itself for her; Ye Lan regrew a miniature flower from its root.
• Ye Lingling absorbed the flower and reached level 42, then urged everyone to leave before the soul beasts woke and noticed the flower's change.

• Ye Lingling healed Zhu Zhuqing, who absorbed the Shadowy Night Cat’s Soul Ring and reached level thirty-six with the Incarnation Shadow skill.
• Ye Lan told the group he was seeking an Eris Symbiote and led them to the hot springs at the boundary between the Black Forest and the active volcanoes.
• Ye Lan drew the Eris Symbiote out of the boiling spring and saw its two heads, ice-and-fire cores, and enormous bear-like body.
• Ye Lan activated Ancient Beast’s Touch and Blood Armor, then dodged the Eris Symbiote’s attacks and struck its heads and back.
• The Eris Symbiote activated Frost Armor and Lava Shield, blocking Ye Lan’s repeated Blood-Gold Meteor Shower and taunting him.

Ye Lan fought the Eris Symbiote through its shifting ice and lava forms, destroying its cores while struggling against their rapid regeneration. After using Golden Gaze to knock the creature from the air, he tore it into eight pieces, and a Purple-Black Soul Ring emerged from its remains.

• Ye Lan used Nature Domain and Azure God Prophet to surround the Eris Symbiote with Blue Silver Priests, but its ice and lava attacks broke their prison and forced him to defend himself.

• Ye Lan pursued the Lava Flying Dragon, but the cores reunited into a winged Frost Wolf form that slowed his Water Flame and attacked with combined ice and lava blasts.
• When the Eris Symbiote targeted Ye Lan's companions, Ye Lan struck it with Golden Gaze, then pierced and tore its falling body into eight pieces with Ancient Beast's Touch.
• A Purple-Black Soul Ring emerged from the Eris Symbiote's remains.

Ye Lan absorbed the Eris Symbiote’s nearly ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and chose the Life Share skill, which linked the life forces of nearby allies. He tested it with his companions and confirmed that they could share damage, leaving the team far better protected.

• Ye Lan descended after killing the Eris Symbiote, and his companions praised his External Soul Bone while Ye Lingling healed his strained body.

• Ye Lan tested Life Share by injuring himself and found that the Nine Heart Sacred Begonia restored the linked group’s shared vitality when it healed a connected person.

• Ye Lan watched Ning Fengzhi and Lingxin play Go and concluded that their opening moves were hopelessly bad.

Ye Lan visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Ning Rongrong’s rapid growth and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda led Ning Fengzhi to appoint her Young Sect Master and Ye Lan an Honorary Elder. A year and a half later, Tang San told Yu Xiaogang he had reached level forty through special methods, leaving Yu Xiaogang asking what he had done.

• A year and a half later, Yu Xiaogang tried to comfort himself with Liu Erlong at New Shrek Academy before Tang San arrived.
• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang he had reached level forty using special methods, and Yu Xiaogang asked whether Xiao Wu and the others could use them too.

Yu Xiaogang helped Tang San conceal his rapid growth by blaming Immortal Herbs and urged him to study how the Eight Spider Lances absorbed soul beasts. During the Shrek group’s night in the wilderness, Liu Erlong’s interrupted encounter with Yu Xiaogang gave way to a Man Faced Demon Spider attack, and Tang San obtained a powerful new soul ring and transformed Blue Silver Grass.

• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang that his Eight Spider Lances absorbed soul beasts’ life force and Soul Power, and Yu Xiaogang warned him to keep the ability secret and use Immortal Herbs as a cover.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San to investigate sharing the Eight Spider Lances’ absorption ability with Shrek’s other students, hoping it would strengthen the team for a future competition.
• At camp, Liu Erlong slipped into Yu Xiaogang’s arms, but their encounter was interrupted when Dai Mubai spotted dozens of red eyes in the forest.
• Liu Erlong transformed into her Fire Dragon True Body and crushed a seven-thousand-five-hundred-year Man Faced Demon Spider, then ordered Tang San to finish it.
• Tang San absorbed the spider’s life force and soul ring, turning his Blue Silver Grass black and poisonous; he reached Rank 42 and declared himself a Killing System Soul Master.

Ye Lan and his companions attended the opening ceremony of the Heaven Dou City Qualifying Round, where Shrek Academy drew the Imperial Dou Second Team as its first opponent. As the teams prepared to fight, Ye Lan warned Ye Lingling to watch for trouble.

• Xue Ye favored the Imperial Dou Second Team, and Ning Fengzhi revealed that Shrek Academy had formerly been Blue Tyrant Academy and was led by Yu Xiaogang.

Shrek Academy brutally defeated the Imperial Dou Second Team, leaving most of its members gravely injured before the team surrendered. Emperor Xue Ye accepted Ning Fengzhi’s proposal to demote underperforming Heaven Dou First Team members and rebuild the team.

• Tang San sent Shrek Academy into the match without support, then trapped the Imperial Dou Second Team with Blue Silver Cage and ordered his teammates to attack.
• The Imperial Dou Second Team’s Support System Soul Master purified the poison affecting five attackers, but Tang San restrained them again and Shrek’s members beat them savagely.
• Xiao Wu shattered the Control System Soul Elder’s bones, and Tang San ordered Ma Hongjun to burn the female Support System Soul Master before the instructor surrendered on the team’s behalf.
• The Imperial Dou Second Team’s leader protested Shrek’s attempt to kill his students, while Tang San dismissed the accusation because they were not dead.
• Ning Fengzhi suggested demoting Heaven Dou First Team members who failed to meet the standard, and Xue Ye ordered Meng Shenji to carry it out.

• The next day, Ye Lan’s team faced Blazing Academy at the Great Soul Arena, where spectators erupted when Green Emperor Ye Lan was announced as captain.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy faced Blazing Academy in the Qualifying Round, where Ye Lan’s Life Share let his team withstand their attacks and heal through transferred injuries. Blazing Academy conceded after its strongest combined fire attack failed to damage the team’s Xuanwu defense, and Ye Lan encouraged them to keep competing.

• Huo Wushuang rallied Blazing Academy to fight well despite the overwhelming strength of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Yu Feng and Yu Tianheng fought Blazing Academy’s attackers while Ye Lan transferred their injuries to Blue Silver Grass and Ye Lingling restored the team’s shared health.

• Huo Wushuang conceded for Blazing Academy, and Ye Lan praised their performance as Heaven Dou Royal Academy won.

After watching Ye Lan’s team triumph, Tang Hao realized Tang San was missing and Tang San became trapped in Shi Nian’s Remnant Dream. Shi Nian’s illusions subjected Tang San to imagined torture and Xiao Wu’s violation, leaving Tang San mentally broken.
