After absorbing their Soul Bones, Bibi Dong and the others prepared to leave while Xie Yue waited to absorb the Evil God Bead. Meanwhile, Tang Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen returned home with the Body Forging Pills, and Yu Xiaogang secretly fantasized about taking them despite his father’s refusal.

• Bibi Dong told Xie Yue to wait until she returned before absorbing the Evil God Bead, then set out with Xie Tian, Hu Leyao, and Xiao Bai.
• Tang Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen discussed whether the Body Forging Pills were genuine and speculated about Tang Hao’s fate and the missing Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
• Tang Xiao decided to save the five pills for young sect Disciples, while Yu Yuanzhen planned to give his pills to Yu Tianheng.
• Yu Yuanzhen warned Yu Xiaogang that the clan would not give him the Body Forging Pills because he had already received Foundation Building Pills and other members needed the resources more.
• Yu Xiaogang privately imagined that taking the pills would raise his Innate Soul Power and transform Luo Sanpao, and convinced himself the clan would protect him if anything went wrong.

Bibi Dong and her companions caught up with Yu Yuanzhen and began a dream-based plan to make him and Tang Xiao give their pills to Yu Xiaogang. The chapter ended with Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao dreaming of handing pills to Yu Tianheng and Tang San, respectively.

Hu Bai, Bibi Dong, Demon Charm, and Xie Tian used an illusion to make Yu Xiaogang feed his pills to Luo Sanpao, which began transforming into a Golden Sacred Dragon. They left the tent while the illusion continued, and by morning Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao woke with frowns.

• Yu Xiaogang dreamed that Yu Yuanzhen gave him pills, then woke and handed the pills to Luo Sanpao instead of taking them himself.
• Luo Sanpao grew golden scales, dragon claws, budding horns, and a longer body as its Golden Sacred Dragon form emerged.
• Bibi Dong concluded that Luo Sanpao was a Golden Sacred Dragon hatchling and that Yu Xiaogang's Innate Soul Power had risen close to level seven.
• Yu Xiaogang, still trapped in the illusion, mistook Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao for beautiful women, while Hu Bai stopped the others from watching what happened next.
• Bibi Dong and the others left the tent, and Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao opened their eyes the next morning with frowns.

Tang Xiao, Yu Yuanzhen, and Yu Xiaogang woke injured in a tent after sharing a disturbing dream, and discovered that pills had vanished and Yu Xiaogang had been grievously hurt. They realized someone had trapped them in a realistic illusion, but they did not know who or why.

• Tang Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen feared that a powerful unknown figure had created the illusion and wondered what that person wanted.

Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon after he took the pills, while Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao tried to make sense of the illusion they had experienced. Back in Spirit City, Xie Yue absorbed the Evil God Bead with Hu Bai’s help and gained a special fifth soul ring, leaving Qian Daoliu to suggest recording it in Spirit Hall’s archives.

• Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao and discovered that his Martial Soul had evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon.
• Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao suspected a powerful mental illusion but could not determine who had caused it; Yu Yuanzhen promised to protect the Clear Sky Sect and provide future support to make up for Tang Xiao’s lost pill.
• Hu Bai and the others left after observing the evolution, then returned to Spirit City with his Space Ability.
• Xie Yue began absorbing the Evil God Bead, but its energy threatened to exhaust him, so Hu Bai transferred compatible Soul Power and Spiritual Power to help him.

• Gu Yue Na entered Spirit City disguised as a twelve-year-old Soul King and went to Spirit Hall Academy to seek enrollment despite the term being underway.
• When the gate guard said an exception required the admissions director’s approval, Gu Yue Na released her five Soul Rings and silver-dragon aura to demonstrate her talent.

Gu Yue Na arrived at Spirit Hall seeking its Holy Son and knowledge about Martial Souls, presenting her Silver Dragon Martial Soul and extraordinary Soul Rings. Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu admitted her as a Core Disciple while deciding to observe her, and she learned the Holy Son was away in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• A gate guard saw Gu Yue Na's five-rings Soul King display and alerted Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, who came to meet her.

As the Heaven Dou Empire prepared a final assault with Thunder Academy reinforcements, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu offered to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill from the city wall.
