• Two days later, Dai Tianyu's group neared the Heaven Dou Empire's border and encountered two unexpected people.

Wu Yuan and Dai Tianyu encountered Zhao Wuji carrying the gravely injured Mo Xuan on a remote road near the Star Dou Great Forest. Dai Tianyu agreed to have their healing Soul Master treat him, and the healer hurried over as Zhao Wuji brought Mo Xuan to them.

• Zhao Wuji reacted with shock, and Dai Tianyu said his junior brother Tang San had almost become Yu Xiaogang’s student.

• Mo Xuan found that his legs looked intact but were numb and unresponsive, and he frantically struck and clawed at them.

In Heaven Dou City, Fu Shiyan caught Xiao Wu sleeping during a theoretical lesson and asked her to explain how fire and wood Soul Power interacted. Tang San secretly used Blue Silver Grass to write the answer for her, but Fu Shiyan noticed his aid just before Xiao Wu could respond.

• Xiao Wu slept through Fu Shiyan's lesson while Ma Hongjun struggled to stay awake, as Oscar and Tang San took notes.
• Fu Shiyan woke Xiao Wu and asked why fire-attribute Soul Power could gain an early advantage over wood but lose it in a prolonged battle.
• Unable to answer, Xiao Wu sought help from Tang San, who used Blue Silver Grass to write the correct explanation on her notebook.
• Xiao Wu prepared to repeat the written answer, but Fu Shiyan fixed a knowing look on Tang San and spoke again.

Fu Shiyan caught Tang San secretly using his Martial Soul and questioned Ma Hongjun on elemental interactions, then explained why fire could lose its advantage against wood in a prolonged battle. A week later, Zhao Wuji arrived at Fu Shiyan’s residence seeking an urgent audience.

• Fu Shiyan noticed Tang San’s hidden Soul Power fluctuation, dismissed Xiao Wu’s attempt to help, and called on Ma Hongjun to answer a question about fire and wood attributes.
• Ma Hongjun could only say that fire burned wood, so Fu Shiyan restated the lesson on how fire’s initial advantage could fade as its Soul Power was depleted.
• Fu Shiyan continued teaching about the interaction between water and earth while Ma Hongjun returned to his seat in relief.
• A week later, Tang San practiced beneath the old locust tree as Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun joined him in the courtyard before morning class.

Tang San realized their dreams matched events from his second simulated life, leading him to conclude that the Simulator had changed reality and the others had glimpsed their original fates.

• Li Yusong drove off angry parents by revealing his Soul Emperor strength and enforcing Shrek Academy’s no-refund enrollment rules.
