Before the final match began, Xiaofeilian revealed that she was a level 76 Battle Soul Saint with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, shocking Shrek, Bibi Dong, and the assembled experts.

Tang San’s team faced Xiaofeilian’s overwhelming strength in the championship match, while Du Siji revealed terrifying Dark Gold Dreadclaw External Soul Bones. The chapter left the fighters and spectators stunned by the claws’ ability to slice through the arena floor as Tang San compared them to his Eight Spider Lances.

• Tang San steadied his team by insisting they could defeat Xiaofeilian, and Dai Mubai and the others agreed to trust him.
• Du Siji unleashed powerful flames, then withdrew from Zhi Qing’s Mental Power link before the match began.
• After Xiaofeilian warned him not to underestimate Tang San, Du Siji revealed a pair of dark gold External Soul Bone claws.
• Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Binding failed to restrain Du Siji, whose Dark Gold Dreadclaw cut through it with ease.
• Tang San pulled Dai Mubai out of Du Siji’s path, and Du Siji’s claws tore through the plaza floor, shocking the crowd and prompting Tang San to compare them with his Eight Spider Lances.

Tang San used his evolved Eight Spider Lances and saved Dai Mubai from Du Siji’s Sky-Tearing Claw with his Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body skills. After Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun surrendered, Xiaofeilian stepped forward to face Tang San.

• Zhi Qing and the others eliminated Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu, and Oscar from the arena.
• Du Siji attacked Dai Mubai with Sky-Tearing Claw, and Tang San teleported in front of him and blocked the strike with Invincible Golden Body.

• Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun left the arena, and Xiaofeilian asked Four Seasons to let him take over against Tang San.

Tang San faced Xiaofeilian alone after the Imperial Dou First Team quickly defeated the rest of Shrek, and he claimed he could beat her without the sword that had helped her win their last match. Xiaofeilian reminded him that he had been the one to propose using weapons, leaving Tang San embarrassed as the crowd criticized him; he still vowed to defeat her and prove himself.

• The Imperial Dou First Team defeated Shrek’s fighters in under a minute, leaving Tang San as the only one standing.
• Du Siji stopped attacking Tang San so Xiaofeilian could take him on alone, and Tang San welcomed the chance to fight her one-on-one.
• Tang San claimed Xiaofeilian had only beaten him a Kun year earlier because she had used a sword, and declared he would defeat her without it.
• Xiaofeilian reminded Tang San that he had suggested both sides use weapons, and the spectators questioned his complaints.
• The crowd criticized Tang San and Shrek, while Tang San thought of Xiao Wu and vowed to defeat Xiaofeilian and eventually Zhongli.

Tang San tried to build up the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer against Xiaofeilian, relying on Teleportation to escape her rapid approaches. Xiaofeilian paused as he continued stacking strikes, and Tang San reached forty swings while preparing his attack.

• Tang San argued that Xiaofeilian’s higher Soul Power justified his use of hidden weapons, then brought out the Clear Sky Hammer instead of risking Xiao Wu’s soul with his Blue Silver Grass skills.
• Tang San began stacking the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, planning to combine its power with Teleportation for a decisive blow.
• Xiaofeilian crossed the arena at terrifying speed without using a soul ring, forcing Tang San to teleport away and keep swinging.
• Tang San reached his twentieth strike while Xiaofeilian stood motionless, and he realized how powerful the hammer technique could become when he had room to stack swings.
• Tang San continued hammering and announced his fortieth strike.

Tang San built up all eighty-one strikes of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer while Xiaofeilian let him attack, confident she could defeat him at his strongest. As his final blow fell, Xiaofeilian activated a Soul Bone Skill, leaving Tang San recognizing its familiar golden light.

• Tang San continued stacking hammer strikes as Xiaofeilian explained that she was giving him time in repayment for his kindness at the auction house and intended to defeat him at his strongest.
• Du Siji challenged Tang San’s assumptions about his talent, and Tang San reflected on his martial souls and Zhongli’s knowledge while continuing to build power.
• Tang San reached eighty strikes, believed the eighty-first would secure victory, and launched his strongest attack at Xiaofeilian.
• Xiaofeilian remained calm and activated a golden Soul Bone Skill from her torso Soul Bone, whose light looked familiar to Tang San.

Tang San’s strongest hammer attack failed against Xiaofeilian’s Invincible Golden Body, leaving him without a clear way to win. He summoned Xiao Wu to use Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Throw, but Xiaofeilian blocked her opening attack, and the fight remained unresolved.

• Xiaofeilian revealed that his torso Soul Bone granted Invincible Golden Body, and Tang San’s eighty-first hammer blow failed to break through it.
• Tang San realized his stacked hammer attack had been exhausted and struggled to find a winning strategy without using hidden weapons.
• Tang San replaced the Clear Sky Hammer with his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, causing Xiao Wu to appear through her fifth Soul Ring.
• Xiao Wu used Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Throw and wrapped her scorpion braid around Xiaofeilian’s neck.
• Xiao Wu tried to kick Xiaofeilian into the air, but Xiaofeilian blocked her attack, leaving Xiao Wu unsure what to do.

Xiaofeilian countered Xiao Wu’s Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Throw and battered her soul until Tang San canceled his Fifth Soul Skill. As Tang San turned against Xiaofeilian, Paimon questioned why he wanted Chiyu dead, and Zhongli reflected on the possibility that fate had arranged his own life.

• Xiaofeilian used Super Armor and Invincible Golden Body to resist Xiao Wu’s control, then grabbed her by the hair and swung her into the ground.
• Xiao Wu called for Tang San to save her, but he initially misunderstood and watched as Xiaofeilian continued throwing her.
• Tang San realized Xiao Wu was being beaten, canceled his Fifth Soul Skill to return her soul, and switched to the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Paimon asked Zhongli why Tang San wanted Chiyu dead when the match was ordinary and Xiaofeilian had not gotten serious.
• Zhongli wondered whether the Heavenly Principles had arranged his life and resolved to uncover the truth behind Guizhong’s death if he became strong enough.

After Tang San was defeated, Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team won the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, and Xiaofeilian received the championship soul bones. Tang San challenged Xiaofeilian to a fight in Heaven Dou City five years later and wagered his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone against the head soul bone and an apology; Xiaofeilian’s team agreed to stake the prizes.

• Tang San lost his match against Xiaofeilian, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team was declared the overall champion.
• Xiaofeilian received the three championship soul bones from Bibi Dong, who returned to the Pope's Palace after congratulating her.
• Bibi Dong noticed Xiaofeilian’s feelings for Zhongli and worried about Qian Renxue’s feelings for him.
• Tang San stopped Xiaofeilian and proposed a Five-Year Pact, wagering his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone against the head soul bone and her kneeling apology.
• Xiaofeilian said she could not decide what happened to the head soul bone, but members of her team offered to stake all three prizes and delay absorbing them.

Zhongli interrupted Tang San and Xiaofeilian’s wager, declaring that three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were not fair compensation for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. He revealed that the blue-gold soul bone in his hand belonged to Tang San’s mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, leaving Tang San stunned and confused.

• Tang San agreed to a five-year wager with Xiaofeilian and vowed to use hidden weapons to kill her.
• Zhongli stepped between Tang San and Xiaofeilian and called their wager unfair.
• Zhongli explained that the three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were worth far less than a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Zhongli produced a blue-gold leg soul bone, and Tang San felt a strong blood connection to it.
• Zhongli told Tang San that the soul bone was his mother’s, the Blue Silver Emperor’s, and Tang San struggled to contain his fury and confusion.

Tang San learned that Zhongli’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had been given as compensation by Tang Hao, and he tried to reclaim it by promising two such bones. Zhongli refused and set a wager: Tang San could claim the bone if he defeated Chiyu in five years.

• Tang San asked Zhongli about the soul bone, and Zhongli explained that Tang Hao had given it as compensation in a box years earlier.
• Tang San knelt and asked for Ah Yin’s remains, promising two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones within ten years, while concealing his intention to absorb the bone and later defeat Zhongli.
• The crowd challenged Tang San’s sincerity, and Golden Crocodile identified himself as Spirit Hall’s Second Worship and a level ninety-eight Titled Douluo.
• Tang San asked Zhongli to rule fairly and offered to swear on his martial soul, but Zhongli said Tang San could have the soul bone if he defeated Chiyu in five years.
• Zhongli declared that the wager required a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in return, and Tang San agreed.

After the competition, Bibi Dong ordered four elders to pursue Tang San and seize his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, with Tang Hao also to be killed if possible. Hu Liena apologized for the team’s loss, while Bibi Dong wondered whether the Innate Sect had already hunted the two great Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• An elder argued that hunting Tang San would not violate the five-year wager, and Bibi Dong agreed that killing him was a priority.
• Bibi Dong assigned Elder Demon Bear and Elder Ghost Leopard to pursue Tang San in Heaven Dou City.
• After Elder Demon Bear raised the danger posed by Tang Hao, Bibi Dong also sent Ghostly and Yue Guan, ordering them to kill Tang Hao if they got the chance.
• The elders planned to wait until Xue Qinghe's team reached Heaven Dou City before attacking Tang San.
• Hu Liena apologized to Bibi Dong for the competition result, and Bibi Dong reflected on Xiao Wu's sacrifice and the missing Soul Beasts.
• Bibi Dong suspected that the Innate Sect had hunted the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Hu Liena asked Bibi Dong to let her train in the City of Slaughter, but Bibi Dong refused and sent her to Death Canyon instead. Meanwhile, Wang Chen was pleased with the City of Slaughter’s new order, and Oscar chose to leave the Shrek group to train on his own.

• Bibi Dong reassured Hu Liena after her failure and compared her perseverance to Tang San’s, prompting Hu Liena to swear she would never betray her teacher or Spirit Hall.
• Bibi Dong worried that Hu Liena might repeat her own youthful choices and fall in love with someone outside Spirit Hall.
• Hu Liena asked to train in the City of Slaughter, but Bibi Dong refused and directed her to go to Death Canyon with Xie Yue and Yan.
• Wang Chen approved of the City of Slaughter’s new system of judging and punishing sinners, while Zhongli returned safely to Heaven Dou City.
• The Shrek group discussed going with Dai Mubai to the Star Luo Empire, but Oscar said he would leave to train on his own.

Oscar announced that he would leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to seek a way for Food System Soul Masters to gain combat strength, though he knew Ning Fengzhi had left him little choice in his future with Ning Rongrong. Tang San gave Oscar a Godly Zhuge Crossbow and vowed to reach the peak, unaware that unseen observers believed his damaged Twin Martial Souls would prevent it.

• Oscar said he planned to venture out alone and find a way for Food System Soul Masters to fight.
• Tang San gave Oscar the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, hoping to earn his recognition and recruit him.
• Oscar accepted the crossbow gratefully but lamented that Ning Fengzhi's demands had left him unable to pursue his own future.
• Oscar joked that Tang San would become his Titled Douluo-level brother, and Tang San privately rejected the idea of brotherhood based on sentiment alone.
• Tang San declared that he would become the supreme existence on the Douluo Continent, while unseen observers predicted he would never surpass level ninety-six.

Ghostly persuaded the Spirit Hall elders to wait until Tang San left Heaven Dou City before attacking him. Meanwhile, Xue Ye failed to recruit the victorious Imperial Dou First Team, who planned to return to their sect and cultivate.

• Ghostly urged Yue Guan, Ghost Leopard, and Demon Bear to avoid acting against Shrek in Heaven Dou City because Zhongli deserved their respect, and they agreed to wait for Tang San to leave.
• Tang San and his companions decided to stay with Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Flender for a few days before departing for the Star Luo Empire.
• Xue Ye celebrated Imperial Dou First Team’s championship and awarded each member five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Xue Ye asked the team about their future plans, but they immediately said they would return to their sect and cultivate.
• Xue Ye left dejected after failing to recruit the team, but resolved to continue strengthening the Heaven Dou Empire by cultivating Innate Martial Soul disciples.

The Innate Sect disciples realized that their cultivation speeds were unusually balanced despite their different innate talents, and they suspected Zhongli had improved their aptitudes. They headed to thank him, while Zhongli sat in the council hall with Du Bafang and Paimon.

• Zhongli secretly monitored the Innate Sect disciples and used the Power of Faith to heal their hidden injuries while the sect’s businesses supplied their training resources.
• Du Siji and the others recounted the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition to their brothers, who regretted missing it.
• A level fifty-eight Soul King noticed that the disciples’ cultivation speeds stayed remarkably close despite their different levels of Innate Soul Power.
• The disciples concluded that Zhongli must have improved their aptitudes and decided to visit him to express their gratitude.
• Du Siji led the group toward the sect, while Zhongli sat in the council hall with Du Bafang and Paimon asked why he was smiling and shaking his head.

Zhongli welcomed the sect’s younger generation and explained that their improved cultivation came from the Power of Faith their belief in him had generated. The youths urged him to save that power and seek godhood for the sake of the Douluo Continent and the Body Martial Soul.

• Zhongli told Du Bafang that young people should raise their questions and that he himself could make mistakes.
• Zhongli and Paimon met about a hundred young disciples outside the council hall, and Zhongli reassured them about their doubts and rapid cultivation.
• Zhongli explained that their faith had produced the Power of Faith, which he had used to improve their talents and heal their hidden injuries.
• The disciples became emotional when they learned Zhongli had spent the Power of Faith on them.
