• Yu Xiaogang arranged an eight-on-eight match to have the students draw blood, and Flender learned of the plan the next day.

After the Shrek Academy team killed the Fierce God Team, Zhu Qinluo arrived to take Zhu Zhuqing and the others away. Zhu Zhuqing rejected Dai Mubai as a fiancé and left, while Yu Xiaogang urged Flender to find a qualified academy so the remaining students could compete in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament.

• Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun vomited after the match, while Di Qiu'er and Zhu Zhuqing remained unfazed and Zhu Zhuqing showed her scar as a reminder to show enemies no mercy.
• Flender and Yu Xiaogang served the students dishes of tofu and blood to help them face the aftermath of the killings, and Tang San noticed Xiao Wu used an unfamiliar expression.

Zhu Qinluo encouraged Zhu Zhuqing to join the Heavenly Demon Sect’s planned tournament team, while Ye Qing finalized a lineup that included several Beast-Humans and Di Qiu'er. The chapter ended when Dugu Yan and her father were summoned to meet the Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s three committee members.

• Xiao Wu and Di Qiu'er returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, while Zhu Qinluo took Zhu Zhuqing to the Heavenly Demon Sect and reassured her about her place in its plans.
• Ye Qing and the Snow Empress watched Xue You dominate a contest among young Beast-Humans, then selected her as the team’s field controller.
• Ye Qing finalized the tournament lineup with Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, Gang Ya, Di Qiu'er, Xue You, and Zhu Zhuqing, and assigned Dugu Bo to lead the team.
• Dugu Xin picked up Dugu Yan at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where a teacher then asked them to meet the three committee members.

Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan met Prince Xue Xing, who asked Dugu Xin to identify a mysterious poison in two blood samples. Dugu Xin recognized it as Nine-Section Jade Jiao venom but concealed that knowledge, then accompanied Xue Xing to confront the people who had beaten Xue Beng; there, Xue Xing challenged Flender over Dai Mubai striking the prince.

• Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan followed a visitor to Prince Xue Xing, who admitted he had borrowed the Education Committee Members’ name to bring them in.
• Xue Xing asked Dugu Xin to identify poison in two blood samples, and Dugu Xin secretly recognized it as the Nine-Section Jade Jiao’s Emerald Poison.
• Xue Beng arrived with bruises and claimed that visitors had beaten him, prompting Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan to accompany Xue Xing to the academy’s reception room.
• Dugu Xin learned that Dai Mubai had struck Xue Beng, while Xue Xing objected that an outsider had no right to discipline a prince.

Prince Xue Xing forced Shrek Academy’s students to prove their talent by fighting Dugu Yan, a level fifty-nine Soul King renowned for her poison. Tang San prepared countermeasures, but Dugu Yan’s Soul-Devouring Poison quickly incapacitated three of the four students, leaving Tang San alone in the arena.

• Xue Xing used Dai Mubai’s impulsive acceptance of Dugu Xin’s challenge to arrange a three-minute assessment against Dugu Yan.
• Meng Shenji warned Shrek Academy that Dugu Yan was a powerful Heavenly Demon Sect poison expert, but Tang San believed their abilities and preparations could counter her.
• Tang San asked Qin Ming for common medicinal supplies and planned tactics with Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar; Ning Rongrong stayed out of the battle.
• At the arena, Tang San’s group began the assessment by attacking Dugu Yan, who released her Fourth Spirit Skill, Soul-Devouring Poison.
• Tang San’s realgar-filled bags triggered an explosion that spread the poison mist across the arena, knocking down Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
• Dugu Yan dismissed Tang San’s preparations as useless, while he remained standing alone in the poison mist.

Dugu Yan defeated Tang San and the Shrek Academy students with her fire-immune Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom, then left with Dugu Xin. After the battle ended Shrek’s stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming and Ning Rongrong chose to leave with Flender’s group.

• Dugu Yan explained that her Soul-Devouring Poison corroded Soul Power and that fire only made her poison mist take effect faster, while Flender and Dugu Xin argued in the stands.
• Dugu Yan used her Fifth Spirit Skill, Poison Condensation Technique, to block Tang San’s Eight Spider Lances and attack him with a venom sword and flying needles.
• Dugu Yan pierced Tang San’s Mysterious Jade Hand with compressed venom, and Tang San collapsed with three seconds remaining in the test.
• Dugu Yan gathered the poison mist and left with Dugu Xin, while Prince Xue Xing allowed the Shrek students to leave once they recovered.
• Qin Ming resigned from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Ning Rongrong decided to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect rather than remain with Shrek.
• Ning Rongrong summoned members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to escort her away and warned Flender that Dai Mubai’s temperament could bring trouble.

Gu Rong brought Ning Rongrong back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Flender led Shrek Academy away from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and toward Blue Tyrant Academy. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon Sect team assembled on an island and learned that their six-month trial would require them to defeat three Sea Spirit Beasts.

• Gu Rong arrived to collect Ning Rongrong, and she declined his offer to punish the person who had wronged her, saying she would handle it herself.
• Oscar learned that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect required a direct descendant's partner to be a powerful Battle Spirit Master, while Flender urged Dai Mubai to change his temper.
• Flender led Shrek Academy to Blue Tyrant Academy, and Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Ning Fengzhi welcomed her changed character.
• The Heavenly Demon Sect team gathered on an island, where Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Dugu Yan, Xue You, Di Qiu'er, Gang Ya, and Zhu Zhuqing met their three Sea Spirit Beast opponents.
• Bolu Mian explained that the team must defeat him, Ku Octopus, and Sijixing during a trial lasting about half a year, then began preparing dinner.

Xie Yue and the others spent more than half a year training against Bolu Mian, Ku Octopus, and Sijixing, improving their teamwork and defeating the trio. Meanwhile, Flender’s group visited the Heaven Dou Auction House to find Spirit Rings, where Flender bought one for Ma Hongjun and competed for another suitable for Dai Mubai.

• Xie Yue and the others struggled against the Sea Spirit Beasts’ regeneration, elemental powers, and teamwork, then gradually developed better coordination and new techniques during their training.
• Hu Liena and Dugu Yan reached Spirit Emperor, and after more than half a year the seven defeated the undersea trio, with Bolu Mian and Sijixing surrendering and Ku Octopus already resting.
• Flender took members of the original Shrek Academy to the Heaven Dou Auction House to seek an Artificial Spirit Ring for Ma Hongjun, who had reached level 30, and bought a thousand-year ring for thirteen thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong met Flender at the auction, while Tang San arrived after visiting the appraisal room.
• Flender bid on a 4,800-year Artificial Spirit Ring suited to Dai Mubai, accepted Liu Erlong’s money when his funds ran short, and found that Ning Fengzhi repeatedly outbid him.

Ning Fengzhi used the Heaven Dou Auction to block Flender from buying a Spirit Ring for Dai Mubai, then helped Eagle Woman bid on a Beast-Human girl. Liu Erlong explained that Eagle Woman controlled Heaven Dou City's underground industries and had defeated her in two moves.

• Ning Fengzhi deliberately drove up the Spirit Ring's price, and Flender gave up bidding after Tang San recognized him.
• The auction house revealed a Beast-Human girl for sale, and Eagle Woman arrived and asked Ning Fengzhi to bid for her.
• Ning Fengzhi raised the price by 100,000 Gold Soul Coins on Eagle Woman's behalf.
• Liu Erlong explained that Eagle Woman ran Heaven Dou City's largest orphanage and controlled its gray industries.
• Liu Erlong told Flender that she had fought Eagle Woman and lost in two moves.

Eagle Woman bought the Cat Woman at auction and freed her, while Ning Fengzhi purchased a device made by Tang San. That night, Ma Hongjun entered Fireworks Alley after reaching level thirty-one, where Bu Le learned that someone was causing trouble.

• Flender learned from Liu Erlong that Eagle Woman had defeated her in two moves and warned Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai not to provoke her.
• At the auction, Eagle Woman's presence silenced the competing nobles, and Ning Fengzhi let her take the Cat Woman.
• Eagle Woman freed the Cat Woman, gave her clothes, and arranged for the attendant to bring her shoes.
• Ning Fengzhi won the bid for Tang San's Sand-Shooting Shadow, and the group left the auction house.
• After absorbing a Spirit Ring and reaching level thirty-one, Ma Hongjun went to Fireworks Alley to deal with his intensified Evil Fire.
• Bu Le learned that someone was causing trouble at East No. 7 Pavilion.

Bu Le captured Ma Hongjun after he caused a fight at East No. 7 over an unpaid bill, while Ning Fengzhi discussed the upcoming tournament and Ning Rongrong’s possible place in the Heavenly Demon Sect’s team with Eagle Woman. The chapter left Ma Hongjun hanging in public as a troublemaker and Ning Fengzhi planning to pass along his request about Rongrong.

• Bu Le dismissed his companions’ worries about a powerful troublemaker until he learned that a young Spirit Master had injured the establishment’s guards and refused to pay.
• Ma Hongjun’s lack of money at East No. 7 had started a fight after he refused to leave his identity or let the workers collect payment later.
• Bu Le trapped Ma Hongjun with his Heavenly Net Dual Covers, let the workers beat him unconscious, and ordered him displayed outside until someone paid his fine or he was sent to the mines.
• Ning Fengzhi met Eagle Woman at the orphanage and asked about Ning Rongrong joining the Heavenly Demon Sect’s tournament team.
• Eagle Woman told Ning Fengzhi that Rongrong could at most be a substitute and advised him to cut ties with businesses connected to the two Empires’ royal families.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Eagle Woman to pass along his message about Rongrong, while considering her wish to face Dai Mubai and her friendship with Xie Yue.

While Ning Fengzhi and the others stayed at Eagle Woman's orphanage, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger infiltrated Tian Meng's cave and attacked Xiao Yun. Tian Meng stalled it long enough for Xiao Yun to escape, and Ye Qing arrived to pin the tiger down.

• Ma Hongjun spent the night hanging from a lamppost while Ning Fengzhi and the others rested at Eagle Woman's orphanage.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger crawled through the waterway into Tian Meng's cave, where Xiao Yun was working.
• Tian Meng disguised his aura and told Xiao Yun to reach the Den Den Mushi, but the tiger saw through his bluff and lunged at her.
• Tian Meng ensnared the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with Ice Silkworm Silk until Xiao Yun reached the passage, then called for help as the tiger charged him.
• Ye Qing arrived and slammed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to the ground.

Ye Qing killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and absorbed the remnant of the Evil God's power, while its black bead escaped with an imprint that would let him track it. He brought the tiger's tail back for Ice Empress, then the story shifted to Flender at Shrek Academy, where a messenger demanded ransom for students who had damaged property.

• Ye Qing arrived after Xiao Yun used Tian Meng's distress signal and confronted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had attacked Tian Meng.
• Ye Qing killed the tiger, Devoured the remnant of the Evil God's power, and let the black bead escape so it could lead him to a new world.
• Ye Qing brought the tiger's Spirit Bone and Evil God Hook back to the Castle, then stripped the hook of its Evil attribute and added an ice attribute for Ice Empress.
• Ye Qing left Tian Meng with a separate Den Den Mushi frequency and told him to handle things himself while Xiao Yun took a few days off.
• At sunrise, Flender went out to buy supplies for Shrek Academy and met a messenger who demanded money to ransom students accused of damaging facilities.

Flender and Liu Erlong rescued Ma Hongjun from Willow Smoke Alley after he caused trouble, and Flender punished him for the costly incident. They discovered that being beaten might suppress Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire and planned to use it as training, while Ye Qing showed Ice Empress how to remove a mark from her face.

• A messenger told Flender that Ma Hongjun had been detained in Willow Smoke Alley and demanded five thousand Gold Soul Coins for his release.
• Liu Erlong stopped Flender from attempting a rescue by force, warned him that Willow Smoke Alley belonged to Lady Eagle, and accompanied him to pay the ransom.
• After Flender brought Ma Hongjun back to Shrek Academy, he beat him with a stick for causing trouble and wasting five thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Liu Erlong and Flender noticed Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire had subsided after the beating, and Yu Xiaogang agreed that the academy could test beatings as a way to control it.
• Ice Empress complained that the mark Ye Qing had put on her face would not wash off, and Ye Qing taught her to remove it with Soul Power.

Ye Qing gave Hui Tai Lang the Sand-Shooting Shadow to study, and Hui Tai Lang quickly built a machine that could mass-produce it. Meanwhile, Eagle Woman brought Ye Ling'er to the Star Dou Great Forest, where her Beast Soul Awakening revealed a rare Nekomata transformation with blue flames.

• Ice Empress left Ye Qing on the rooftop to find snacks while Xiao Qing and Snow Empress visited Dragon Island.
• Eagle Woman brought the wary Ye Ling'er back to the Star Dou Great Forest and left her with Xiao Wen for her Beast Soul Awakening.
• Ye Qing told Hui Tai Lang to examine Ning Fengzhi's Sand-Shooting Shadow as a diversion from his difficult research.
• Hui Tai Lang built a production line that could produce six Sand-Shooting Shadows at once and showed Ye Qing a Repeating Crossbow for comparison.
• Ye Qing declined to mass-produce the weapons and sent Eagle Woman to deliver the machine to Ning Fengzhi.
• Ye Ling'er's awakening gave her blue flames, a Nekomata Beast Soul, and a chilling flame mark in her left eye, and Xiao Wen taught her to conceal the transformation.

Ye Ling'er celebrated the Newborn Festival in the Star Dou Great Forest and began learning to control her Nekomata powers. Half a year later, Zhu Zhuqing met her sister Zhu Zhuyun at the Heavenly Demon Sect, where their old rivalry resurfaced before the tournament.

• Ye Ling'er felt the chilling curse aura of her Nekomata beast soul, and Aunt Wen explained that her arrival coincided with the Newborn Festival.
• Ye Qing prepared GOD, a powerful tadpole-shaped ingredient, and served its meat at the festival banquet, where Ye Ling'er experienced a vision of peace and prosperity.
• Eagle Woman left Ye Ling'er in the Star Dou Great Forest to train her powers, then delivered weapon-production assembly lines to Ning Fengzhi.
• As the Continental Soul Master Elite Tournament drew closer, the Heavenly Demon Sect's team completed its integration, with Xie Yue and Hu Liena at the 67th rank and Zhu Zhuqing at the 41st.
• Zhu Zhuqing encountered Zhu Zhuyun and the Star Luo Royal Academy candidates at the Heavenly Demon Sect, and she challenged her sister's belief that she needed the Hell White Tiger to compete.

Star Luo Royal Academy trained against a four-person team from the Heavenly Demon Sect while Shrek prepared to hunt a Spirit Ring for Dai Mubai in Sunset Forest. A sudden Beast Tide disrupted the hunt, and Jia Lin sensed the dragon aura of the Golden Sacred Dragon and flew toward Shrek’s group.

• Zhu Zhuqing verbally confronted Zhu Zhuyun, and Dai Weisi pulled Zhu Zhuyun away to avoid a dispute on Heavenly Demon Sect territory.
• Gang Ya, Xue You, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong defeated Star Luo Royal Academy in training, with Gang Ya enduring their attacks and Zhu Zhuqing taking down opponents.
• Tang Hao secretly delivered an Artificial Spirit Ring to Tang San, while Shrek decided to seek Dai Mubai’s Spirit Ring in Sunset Forest rather than Star Dou Great Forest.
• The Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King went into slumber after instructing Lusen to watch Jia Lin, but Jia Lin spent her time chasing Spirit Beasts around Sunset Forest.
• Shrek’s group encountered a Beast Tide while hunting, and Yu Xiaogang proposed using the Golden Sacred Dragon’s aura to drive the Spirit Beasts away so Dai Mubai could absorb his Spirit Ring.
• Jia Lin sensed the dragon aura and flew toward Shrek’s group, curious about the presence of a fellow clansman.

Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang used the Golden Sacred Dragon to drive away Spirit Beasts, drawing Jia Lin into a fight that nearly disrupted Dai Mubai’s Spirit Ring absorption. Just as Lusen tried to stop the humans from escalating the conflict, the King of Fire Dragons awakened and unleashed a terrifying aura across the forest.

• Jia Lin’s rough play drove Spirit Beasts toward Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and the others, so Yu Xiaogang formed the Golden Sacred Dragon to repel them.
• The Golden Sacred Dragon’s aura caught Jia Lin’s attention, and she flew over to investigate the unfamiliar Dragon Clan presence.
• Jia Lin mistook the Golden Sacred Dragon’s roar for an insult and attacked it, while Yu Xiaogang’s group fought back as Dai Mubai’s Spirit Ring absorption was repeatedly disturbed.
• Dai Mubai finished absorbing his Spirit Ring, and Yu Xiaogang prepared to use the Sacred Dragon True Form while considering Jia Lin’s potential Spirit Bone.
• Lusen arrived and warned the humans to stop, but the King of Fire Dragons awakened, and its aura forced every Spirit Beast in the forest to prostrate itself.

The Fire Dragon King reunited with her body, rescued Jia Lin, and punished her for disobeying instructions and losing to the Golden Sacred Dragon. After Jia Lin and her mother defeated the Shrek group, the Fire Dragon King learned of Liu Erlong’s connection to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and left her with a one-day chance to survive.

• The Fire Dragon King appeared, stopped Jia Lin from escaping, and rebuked her for leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and failing to defeat the Golden Sacred Dragon.
• The Fire Dragon King demonstrated how to focus Dragon Breath, destroying the Golden Sacred Dragon and leaving Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender badly injured.
• The Fire Dragon King ordered Jia Lin to finish the others, but stopped her attack when she sensed actual dragon blood in Liu Erlong’s Essence Blood.
• Liu Erlong bargained for the others’ safety, and Zhao Wuji carried the injured group away after the Fire Dragon King gave him three breaths to flee.
• Liu Erlong explained the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s tale of a buried True Dragon, and the Fire Dragon King recognized the clan’s distant connection to her Thunder Dragon subordinate.
• The Fire Dragon King gave Liu Erlong one day to be rescued, warning that she would otherwise die beneath Dragon Flame.

Zhao Wuji escaped Sunset Forest with the injured Tang San, Dai Mubai, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender, while Liu Erlong remained with the Fire Dragon King. Flender and Yu Xiaogang resolved to return for her, and the Fire Dragon King went to confront Flender as he approached the dragons’ domain.

• Zhao Wuji reached the forest’s edge with the injured survivors and learned that local healers could only stabilize Yu Xiaogang’s severe burns.
• Tang Hao left the gathered Spirit Masters after confirming Tang San had escaped, unwilling to risk his life against the terrifying presence in the forest.
• Flender awoke, learned Liu Erlong had been taken, and told Zhao Wuji to take over Shrek Academy if he did not return.
• Yu Xiaogang asked to accompany Flender, but Flender left him behind and flew back into Sunset Forest to find Liu Erlong.
