As Zhang Lexuan took over Freshman Class One, Yan Shaozhe convened the Sea God Pavilion Elders to review Huo Yuhao’s extraordinary record.

• Xuan Zi demanded confirmation of Huo Yuhao’s reported abilities, and Yan Shaozhe confirmed that he was an eleven-year-old Soul Ancestor with twin Martial Souls and two purple and two black Soul Rings.
• Lin Huiqun, Zhuang Yusen, and Song Yunzhi argued that each was the most suitable person to teach Huo Yuhao.

• Xuan Zi fell silent and sat down after realizing the Elders distrusted him because of that tragedy.
• Mu En urged the Elders to ask Huo Yuhao’s opinion before deciding his future, and Yan Shaozhe asked whether he should invite him to the pavilion.

Huo Yuhao was brought before Sea God Pavilion’s Elders, who hoped to recruit the extraordinary student as a disciple. He refused both their mentorship and Qian Duoduo’s offer to join the Soul Guidance Department, leaving Qian Duoduo stunned by his claim that he studied Soul Tools only to make a living.

• Bei Bei and Tang Ya approached Huo Yuhao and called out to him.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong encountered Bei Bei and Tang Ya, and Wang Dong eagerly joined the Tang Sect while Huo Yuhao declined. Later, Huo Yuhao sensed trouble at Sea God Lake and hurried there with Wang Dong, where a flame-wreathed woman attacked twin freshmen Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu.

• The woman caught up with Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu and raised a flaming palm to strike them.
• Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu embraced, preparing a final counterattack together.

After teachers threatened the shaken sisters with expulsion if they spoke about the incident, Wang Dong challenged them and demanded to know why they should stay silent.

• Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu fell silent out of fear, but Wang Dong accused the teachers of threatening them and demanded to know why they should let the matter go.

After the teachers offered compensation for the academy’s mistake, Huo Yuhao drew their attention to Ma Xiaotao’s critical condition: his Ultimate Ice had frozen her from within, and her Phoenix Evil Fire was her only remaining lifeline. The chapter ended with a teacher begging Huo Yuhao to undo the ice.

• Teacher Li offered Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and the Lan sisters four Soul Ascension Pills as compensation, but Wang Dong rejected the gesture and challenged the teachers.

• The other teacher realized Huo Yuhao had cast the freezing Soul Skill and begged him to undo the ice sealing Ma Xiaotao.

• Yan Shaozhe asked Huo Yuhao to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire with his Ultimate Ice, and Huo Yuhao agreed while warning that it could not eradicate the fire.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong left for the dormitories, and Huo Yuhao resolved to research Ma Xiaotao in historical records when he returned to the future.

Huo Yuhao researched Ma Xiaotao’s history and considered asking Du Qingyuan about unofficial histories, while Class Zero discovered that Tang Wulin was missing from class. Huo Yuhao sensed Tang Wulin inside his dormitory but warned that something was wrong with his condition.

• Huo Yuhao sensed Tang Wulin inside his dormitory and told Wu Changkong that his condition was wrong.

Tang Wulin lost consciousness when the Golden Dragon King bloodline erupted, forcing Tang San to intervene and reinforce his seals. Huo Yuhao and Electrolux began a spell to wake Tang Wulin, though Electrolux warned the underlying problem could return.

• Tang Wulin's blood and vital energy surged out of control during cultivation, and he collapsed unconscious.
• Tang San discovered the Golden Dragon King bloodline had erupted early and used his remaining Avatar power to reinforce Tang Wulin's seals.
• Wu Changkong examined Tang Wulin but found his body normal and could not wake him.
• Electrolux told Huo Yuhao that Tang Wulin's soul and body were not compatible enough to merge, leaving him unconscious.
• Wu Changkong sent the others out, and Electrolux began using Spirit Type Magic to fuse Tang Wulin's soul and body.

Tang San reinforced Tang Wulin’s seal, but an unexpected power from Electrolux helped Tang Wulin wake early and left Tang San stunned by Electrolux’s return and Huo Yuhao’s presence. Tang Wulin woke to his friends’ concern, then concealed the dragon within him by blaming his collapse on overtraining.

• Tang San used nearly half of his remaining energy to reinforce Tang Wulin’s damaged seal and estimated that Tang Wulin would need two days to wake.
• Half a day later, Tang San sensed a mysterious power nourishing Tang Wulin and saw Electrolux using Magic beside Huo Yuhao.
• Tang San recognized Electrolux as the Demigod who had sacrificed himself ten thousand years earlier and realized the boy beside him was likely Huo Yuhao.
• Electrolux offered to teach Huo Yuhao Magic, then returned to Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Sea as Tang Wulin began to wake.
• Tang Wulin woke and found Huo Yuhao and his friends gathered around him; he told them he had overtrained, though several of them doubted his explanation.

Tang Wulin learned that the damaged seal on his body was worse than expected and that his time was running out, while Tang San asked him about Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao told Gu Yue he could remove Tang Wulin’s Dragon Clan bloodline without killing him, leaving her astonished by his confidence.

• After Wu Changkong dismissed Class Zero for the day, Tang Wulin entered his Spirit Sea and asked Tang San why he had still collapsed.
• Tang San explained that the earlier attack had badly damaged Tang Wulin’s seal and warned him to cultivate faster because his time was running out.
• Tang San asked Tang Wulin to tell him about Huo Yuhao.
• Gu Yue followed Huo Yuhao until she bumped into him, then asked about Tang Wulin’s condition and whether it could be treated.
• Huo Yuhao said Tang Wulin’s Dragon Clan bloodline could be extracted while keeping him alive, and Gu Yue was stunned by his certainty.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue traveled to Shrek City to find someone Gu Yue believed could receive Tang Wulin’s powerful bloodline. At the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Leng Yaozhu explained that Phoenix Evil Fire could drive its wielder toward becoming an Evil Soul Master, leaving Huo Yuhao concerned about the woman he had seen lose control.

• Huo Yuhao explained that extracting Tang Wulin’s bloodline required a recipient strong enough to withstand it, and Gu Yue said she knew someone who could.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue agreed to go to Shrek City, where Gu Yue’s candidate was located.
• Huo Yuhao visited Leng Yaozhu at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and she greeted him affectionately before warning him that Qiangu Dongfeng’s Chuanling title might be a trap.
