Su Mo planned his first Infinity Gauntlet soul ring and realized the Soul Hunting Forest might not have a beast strong enough for him. The next morning, Tang San introduced Yu Xiaogang to the Ten Laws of Martial Souls and Grandmaster Tian Meng, making Yu Xiaogang feel threatened.

• Su Mo exchanged his gratitude for a trace of Luo Sanpao's Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline and discussed possible soul-ring attributes with Tian Meng.

Su Mo challenged Yu Xiaogang’s soul-ring limit theory and traveled with the others toward the Soul Hunting Forest to test whether whale rubber had strengthened his physique. On the carriage, Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San a storage belt, and Su Mo secretly transferred most of its storage space into the copper rings he had bought.

Tang San gained the awkward Blue Silver Whip skill, and the chapter ended with Yu Xiaogang insisting it was practical after testing its strange effect.

• As Tang San absorbed the Mandala Snake's soul ring, Su Mo transferred three hundred years of its energy into the Frog House's soul ring, weakening Tang San's ring and enlarging the Frog House.

Su Mo and Xiao Wu fled the Soul Hunting Forest battle, while Er Ming and Da Ming mistook the trace of Xiao Wu’s presence on Su Mo for a sign that she had died and attacked Tang San’s group. After a cavern collapsed beneath Su Mo and Xiao Wu, they plunged underground with Xiao Wu clinging tightly to him.

• Er Ming sensed Xiao Wu’s presence near Su Mo, assumed she had died, and attacked Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Director Su until Tang Hao blocked his fist.

Back at Nuoding Academy, Tang San challenged Xiao Chenyu’s gang to protect the work-study students, and revealed that his blue silver grass Martial Soul had a hundred-year soul ring.

Su Mo survived the backlash from Froggy’s new four-thousand-year soul ring and discovered its Three-Leaf Clover skill could turn soul-ring age into transferable clovers. By converting the Sharingan’s first ring and planting nearly a million clovers, he unlocked a growing plantation, then prepared to read Froggy’s journal.
