At Seven Treasure Academy, Wu Qi recognized a forged report accusing Dugu Bo of killing Spirit Hall members and sent it onward, deciding to let Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo react.

• After the Main Player Challenge Tournament ended, Wu Qi let the team rest and prepare for the approaching Soul Master Tournament.
• Half a month later, Wu Qi received a black Spirit Hall letter claiming Dugu Bo had slaughtered a Spirit Hall squad in Sunset Forest and judged the anonymous report to be a crude forgery, likely devised by the Shrek Seven Devils.
• Wu Qi sent Golden Eagle Douluo to deliver the letter and chose not to inform Dugu Bo, expecting Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo to use it as an opportunity to mock him.

The Shrek Seven Devils left Heaven Dou City, pleased with their plan to cause trouble for Dugu Bo, while Yu Tianheng kept the letter’s contents secret.

• Tang San’s shovel struck eggs beneath the herbs, revealing a Soul Beast nesting ground and alerting two approaching Soul Beasts.
• Two Hanpas Giant Eagles with cultivations of forty thousand and fifty thousand years confronted the group, and Yu Xiaogang recalled the Golden Iron Triangle.

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong used their three-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Skill to form the Golden Holy Dragon and fight two Hanpas Giant Eagles for the Immortal Herbs. After their power ran low, Xiao Wu led the group into a cave, where they prepared to distribute the herbs.

• Wu Qi accompanied Dugu Bo to the guarded crime scene, where Dugu Bo asked him to search for clues after the Auction House cleanup had erased many traces.

Wu Qi used his Soul Bone to reconstruct the attack on the carriage and identified Shi Nian as one of the perpetrators, while Dugu Bo agreed to investigate carefully. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San wanted to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring to match Wu Qi, but Yu Xiaogang and the others warned him about Soul Shock and its deadly risks.

• Dugu Bo outbid Yellow VIP No. 113 and won the Lifeblood Grass for twenty-five thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Wu Qi and his companions ignored several antiques and paintings until the Nine Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor became the auction’s major lot.
• Gu Rong suggested buying the armor for Ning Rongrong, but Ning Fengzhi declined because it was a male style and other defensive Soul Tools would be offered later.
• Wu Qi reasoned that the private seller likely needed money for urgent treatment and offered rare medicinal herbs in exchange for the armor.
• Dugu Bo named Qi-Returning Grass, Mutated Astragalus, and Pain Flower, and the seller accepted the exchange at a market value of fifty-five Gold Soul Coins.
• Dugu Bo was surprised by the herbs’ value after learning that he had cultivated dozens of acres of them at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

• Teachers and students at Shrek Academy watched Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun fight, while rumors spread that the team had argued in a meeting.
