In the White World, Yu Xiaogang’s outdated Soul Ring theories were mocked after the Tang Sect Merchant Association announced an eight-thousand-year Fourth Ring guarantee, leaving him shattered and wandering into traffic. Liu Erlong rescued him, and he mistook her arrival for proof that she still cared for him.

• In the Black World, Yu Xiaogang credited his training methods and theories for the Shrek Seven Devils’ improved strength and insisted their Fourth Soul Rings stay below five thousand years.

Black World Ning Rongrong revealed her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and White World Ning Rongrong arrived armored and equipped with Soul Tools.

President Tang tested Chen Xin’s respect, then negotiated a strategic alliance with Ning Fengzhi that gave the Tang Sect Merchant Association access to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s mining, smelting, and logistics resources. As the contract was signed, Hei Tang San watched the deal from Shrek Academy and felt ashamed of his own ten-thousand-Gold-Soul-Coin bank draft.

• Hei Tang San crumpled the bank draft and felt like a beggar holding a broken bowl.

The Sky Curtain contrasted Hei Tang San’s restrained martial-arts victory over Tailong in the Black World with Bai Tang San’s interrupted experiment in the White World. After Tailong ruined the costly toxin and threatened him over Xiao Wu, Bai Tang San removed his gloves and approached him in cold silence.

• Hei Tang San poisoned Taino with the Eight Spider Lances after the Soul King overwhelmed him, while Yu Xiaogang recorded the battle instead of tending to his disciple.

Tai Tan confronted the youth in black and white at Heaven Dou Royal Academy after the Strength Clan was humiliated, but the youth broke Tai Tan’s Soul Douluo pressure with Mental Power and offered him a choice between serving as an old retainer or joining the Tang Sect Merchant Association. Tai Tan chose the contract, leaving the Strength Clan poised for a profitable alliance.

• In the Black World, Tai Tan’s Soul Douluo pressure forced Hei Tang San toward the ground until Hei Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tai Tan recognized the Clear Sky Hammer, stopped his pressure, and knelt before Hei Tang San as its young master.

At the tournament opening ceremony, Hei Tang San stood in the entrance tunnel, ashamed of his crude green uniform advertising for sponsors.

• Flender forced Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhao Wuji, and the others to wear green advertising uniforms, and the crowd mocked them as they entered the arena.

The Tang Sect team made a fearsome entrance at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, while Shrek Academy learned it would face Elephant Armored Academy in its opening match.

• The other six monsters backed Hei Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang reluctantly allowed the team to compete while telling them to concede if the fight became impossible.

Bai Tang San chose to face Elephant Armored Academy with only Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng beside him, claiming their training made seven fighters unnecessary. The three Shrek Tang Sect members entered the arena to face Hu Yanli’s seven-person lineup as the crowd and rival teams questioned their decision.

• Zhao Wuji brought Bai Tang San the draw results, and the group learned they would face Elephant Armored Academy’s seven massive defense-type Soul Ancestors.

• Dai Mubai forced Hu Yanli backward as Yu Tianheng’s attack sent three Elephant Armored Sect fighters tumbling together, breaking their formation.

The Shrek Tang Sect Team defeated the Elephant Armored Sect in forty-five seconds after the Black Robe Youth poisoned Hu Yanli through a surprise attack from beneath the arena. The White World crowd watched in stunned silence, while the chapter also showed political maneuvering in the Black World after Shrek Academy’s victory.
