Shui Xinyue brought the first group of Shui Clan members to the Fate Defying Pavilion, where Luo Can arranged their placement and offered the elemental academies a path to Titled Douluo strength. Three months later, Dai Mubai enrolled at Shrek Academy but was humiliated in Suotuo City when Xiao Xiao easily defeated him.

After Bibi Dong reached level eighty-nine, Luo Can and Qian Renxue discussed their plans for Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect’s growing investment in Tang San. Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao arrived at Nuoding City to observe Tang San, but Ye Guyi sensed a powerful evil-attribute martial soul within the academy.

• Bibi Dong emerged from seclusion at level eighty-nine, and Luo Can advised her to strengthen her physique before attempting level ninety.

• After defeating the Demon Wolf Mercenary Corps, Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao went to Nuoding City to check on Tang San without revealing themselves.
• Ye Guyi sensed a pure evil-attribute martial soul in the groves on Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy’s rear mountain and led Ma Xiaotao toward it.

Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao investigated traces of an evil spirit master near Nuoding Academy, then encountered a human-form hundred-thousand-year soul beast and a black-robed Titled Douluo protecting her. When he recognized Ye Guyi’s six-winged angel martial soul and assumed she was from Spirit Hall, the two prepared to confront him.

• Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao found seven patches of dead vegetation and traced the evil aura toward the academy’s residential area.
• Ye Guyi identified the powerful dragon-and-light martial soul user as Yu Xiaogang, whose cultivation had apparently been increased by the Valley Master.
• Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao recognized the little girl following Tang San as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form and decided to capture her.
• A black-robed Titled Douluo summoned them outside Nuoding City and demanded to know their faction and why they were watching Little San.
• Ma Xiaotao revealed her hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, and Ye Guyi displayed her six-winged angel martial soul, leading the black-robed man to identify them as Spirit Hall figures.

Tang Xiao fought Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi, but their soul beasts helped them withstand his Clear Sky Hammer. After they escaped, Tang Xiao feared they had discovered Tang San’s Unorthodox Cultivation and decided to remove him from Nuoding City Academy.

• Ye Guyi mocked Tang Xiao about the Clear Sky Sect’s past, and he attacked her with his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi coordinated their soul skills against Tang Xiao, then summoned their Martial Soul Avatars and hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
• Tang Xiao fought the four opponents until Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi exhausted their Martial Soul Avatars and retreated toward Suotuo City.
• Tang Xiao considered how powerful Spirit Hall’s younger generation had become and realized Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi might have seen Tang San practicing Unorthodox Cultivation.
• After recovering some soul power, Tang Xiao set off for Nuoding City Academy to move Tang San before Spirit Hall found him.

Luo Can learned that Tang San might be cultivating through an evil method and worried that Tang Xiao would take him away after their clash with Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi. Spying through the Dragon Seal, Luo Can saw Tang Xiao urge Yu Xiaogang to leave Nuoding City with Tang San and give him medicine from the Fate Defying Pavilion, unaware of its dependency and side effects.

• Ju Zi told Luo Can that Tang San had reached rank nineteen, and Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi had found drained plants and sensed an evil aura around him.
• Luo Can suspected Tang San was using an evil cultivation method and decided to recruit Tang Wulin as well as keep watch on Yu Xiaogang through the Dragon Seal.

• Luo Can told Qian Renxue that Tang Xiao had given Tang San doctored Clear Spirit Powder, and they decided to keep its formula unchanged while offering Tang Yuehua new pills to buy.

• Three days later, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu traveled to Shrek Academy, where Dai Mubai challenged Tang San to prove his strength.

• Flender invited the group to celebrate with a feast in Suotuo City.
• Luo Can watched Tang San through the Dragon Seal and wondered whether Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong would join the Shrek Seven Devils.

Luo Can arranged to bring Zhu Zhuqing into his faction and prepared Ning Rongrong to join Skyward Academy’s future tournament team. Ning Rongrong began absorbing a twelve-hundred-year second spirit ring, while Shui Yue'er stayed behind to improve her pill-making.

• Luo Can asked Qian Renxue about Zhu Zhuqing, and they agreed to recruit her before she sought out Dai Mubai.

• Luo Can told Shui Yue'er she could attend Skyward Academy only after she learned to make the Mystic Water Pill and three basic pills.
• Luo Can took Ning Rongrong to the Inner Pavilion Courtyard, where she began absorbing the twelve-hundred-year Artificial Spirit Ring he had prepared.

• Ning Rongrong absorbed a thousand-year second spirit ring, and Luo Can told her to prepare to coordinate with her senior sisters at Skyward Academy.

• Ning Rongrong waved goodbye to Luo Can and flew with Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi toward Suotuo City.

• Luo Can watched Tang San, Dai Mubai, Flender, Li Yusong, and Yu Xiaogang discuss whale rubber and Tang San's planned thousand-year second spirit ring as they traveled toward the Star Dou Forest.

• Long Xiaoyao accepted Luo Can’s offer to stay in Fate Defying Valley after being defeated in their sparring match.
• Luo Can introduced Long Xiaoyao to the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, Du Bisou, and Qian Renxue, convincing him that resisting the valley would be dangerous.
• Tang Ya and Ning Rongrong traveled to Suotuo City’s Great Soul Arena, where Tang Ya said they might encounter Tang San and Dai Mubai from Shrek Academy.

• Tang Ya and Ning Rongrong were matched against Li Tao and Oles under the team name Nine Treasure Blue Silver.
• Tang Ya restrained Oles and countered Li Tao with powerful, silver-sheened Blue Silver Grass, leaving both Shrek students shocked by her martial soul.

Tang Ya and Ning Rongrong won their first arena match as Nine Treasure Blue Silver, then faced Zhao Wuji when he came to demand compensation and threatened them. Ma Xiaotao arrived and threw him out of the room, confronting him for bullying students from Skyward Academy.
