• Tang San clenched his fists and said he wanted to see what his counterpart was doing.

As a parallel-world comparison system appeared over Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang dismissed it as an illusion and urged Tang San to ignore it. The system labeled Black World Tang San as blindly faithful and set him against an independently awakened White World Tang San, leaving Yu Xiaogang and his disciple determined to prove the comparison wrong as the display began.

• Yu Xiaogang reprimanded Tang San for deviating from his tactics during training and insisted the team follow his Seven in One Fusion Skill Theory.

• Both Tang Sans received certificates to Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, and Bai Tang San skeptically anticipated meeting Yu Xiaogang.

The Sky Curtain contrasted Hei Tang San’s unquestioning acceptance of Yu Xiaogang as his master with Bai Tang San’s sharp rejection of Yu Xiaogang’s theories and credentials. In the real world, the rebuttal shook Hei Tang San’s faith, while Yu Xiaogang faced public humiliation before the Sky Curtain moved on to the next contrast.

• At Nuoding Academy, Yu Xiaogang recognized Hei Tang San’s likely second Martial Soul, and Hei Tang San immediately kowtowed and accepted him as his teacher.

At Dormitory Seven, Hei Tang San yielded the boss position to Xiao Wu, but Bai Tang San silenced the other students with his killing intent and dismissed her challenge.

• Bibi Dong praised Bai Tang San for treating his relationship with his teacher as an equal exchange, and Hei Tang San wondered whether master-disciple bonds were merely transactions.

• Bai Tang San intimidated Wang Sheng with his killing intent and declared that no one should disturb his cultivation.
• Xiao Wu challenged Bai Tang San for the boss position, but he refused to engage with her.

Bai Tang San easily defeated Xiao Wu, while the two versions of Tang San prepared for their first Soul Hunt in sharply different ways. Bai Tang San earned money, bought hunting supplies, and devised a poison-focused plan for developing Blue Silver Grass as he prepared to enter Soul Hunting Forest.

• Yu Xiaogang led Hei Tang San into the Soul Hunting Forest and summoned Luo San Pao to fight a pack of Ten-Year Nether Wolves.
• Luo San Pao drove back some wolves with its fart attack, but it could use the attack only three times before the pack surrounded them.
• Hei Tang San used his Sleeve Arrows, Purple Demon Eye, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to protect Yu Xiaogang and force the wolves to retreat.

The chapter then contrasted their paths as Hei Tang San faced a four-hundred-year Datura Snake with Yu Xiaogang helpless on the ground.

• Bai Tang San left Yu Xiaogang at the forest’s outskirts and entered the Soul Hunting Forest alone.
• Bai Tang San used Drunken Soul Powder to incapacitate a Nether Wolf pack, killed its Wolf King, and collected its fangs.
• Gui Mei, Bibi Dong, and Hei Tang San watched Bai Tang San’s skillful hunt, while Hei Tang San began doubting Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaogang dismissed the methods as unorthodox.

• Hei Tang San stayed to protect Yu Xiaogang and fought the Datura Snake with his Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Sleeve Arrow, but struggled to pierce its scales.

The chapter contrasted Hei Tang San’s ordinary Datura Snake Soul Ring absorption, guided by Yu Xiaogang, with Bai Tang San’s calculated hunt and lethal use of Blue Silver Grass. As the real world watched, Tang Hao recognized the Martial Soul’s predatory potential, Yu Xiaogang was disgraced, and Hei Tang San’s faith in his teacher collapsed.

• Hei Tang San killed the Datura Snake, absorbed its Soul Ring, and gained an Entanglement skill that made his Blue Silver Grass tougher.

The two Tang Sans began their journeys back to Nuoding City after obtaining their First Soul Rings, revealing a sharp contrast between Hei Tang San’s sentimental poverty and Bai Tang San’s practical resourcefulness. Hei Tang San received Yu Xiaogang’s Soul Tool but had no food, while Bai Tang San took valuable snake materials to sell and refused a low offer.

• Hei Tang San supported the injured Yu Xiaogang on their way back and received his twenty-four-stone Soul Tool, naming it Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges Night.

• Bai Tang San carried the Datura Snake’s hide, fangs, venom sac, and poisonous herbs to a Nuoding City shop to sell them.
• The shopkeeper offered Bai Tang San ten Gold Soul Coins for everything, but Bai Tang San demanded fifty and cited the goods’ value and the nearby auction house.

Bai Tang San used his business acumen to sell herbs, buy a storage bracer, and purchase ingredients for a medicinal bath, while Hei Tang San remained grateful for his teacher’s belt. The next day, their Soul Skill tests began, and Bai Tang San’s quiet poison-based technique was about to reveal its effect.

• Bai Tang San prepared a Crimson Flame Grass experiment to improve Blue Silver Grass’s resistance to fire and declared that it had to overcome or devour its weakness.

Meanwhile, Hei Tang San took manual work at a blacksmith shop, while Bai Tang San inspected the same shop and criticized its efficiency and iron quality.

• Bai Tang San repeatedly exposed Blue Silver Grass to Crimson Flame Grass until its leaves developed a red pattern and absorbed fire energy.
• Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang feared Bai Tang San would become a threat, while Yu Xiaogang condemned his experiment and Hei Tang San silently questioned his own fear of fire.
• Hei Tang San demonstrated his hammer technique to Boss Shi San, earned a place forging iron for piecework pay, and began working each afternoon.
• The Sky Curtain criticized Hei Tang San for using the Clear Sky Hammer inheritance for manual labor instead of cultivation.

With Bai Tang San’s earnings, the two worlds began preparing very different medicinal baths, and the chapter ended as Hei Tang San soaked in Yu Xiaogang’s gentle, ordinary treatment.

• Bai Tang San mixed Human-Faced Spider venom into melted Hundred Year Whale Rubber and endured the destructive medicinal bath while the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul repaired his body.
• Yang Wudi praised Bai Tang San’s method as the pinnacle of medicine, while Yu Xiaogang condemned its danger and Hei Tang San questioned the limits of his own training.
