After the Shrek Seven Devils defeated Elephant Armor Academy, Shi Nian plotted against them, and Tang San wrestled with his doubts about his strength and his failure to protect Xiao Wu.

After Xiao Wu was injured, Yu Xiaogang helped Tang San regain his confidence, while Tang Hao secretly visited her and grew more suspicious of Ye Lan. A week later, the Shrek Seven Devils had built a strong tournament record, and as Tang San returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy after the twelfth round, Shi Nian secretly followed him.

Yu Xiaogang led the Shrek Seven Devils to watch rival teams, where they provoked Canghui Academy before learning more about their dangerous tournament opponents. Meanwhile, Ye Qifeng left the Martial Soul Hall Second Team lounge and summoned Salas, prompting Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo to suspect the move was connected to a string of missing students as Tang San headed toward the East City Gate.

• Yu Xiaogang told the Shrek Seven Devils to focus on the Martial Soul Hall Second Team and the Five Elemental Academy Teams, which he said were hiding their strength.

• Tang San left the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena through the East City Gate, intent on becoming stronger as quickly as possible.

Tang San’s week of Blue Silver Grass cultivation had strengthened his control, but on his way back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Shi Nian trapped him in an illusion and revealed his intent to kill him. Tang San faced the deranged Soul Saint alone as Shi Nian threatened to target the other Shrek Seven Devils as well.

• Tang San improved his Blue Silver Grass control through a week of cultivation and hurried from Heaven Dou City toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Tang San realized his journey was taking too long and activated his Purple Demon Eye, Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and Blue Silver Grass to defend himself.

• Shi Nian explained that he wanted revenge for the Shrek Seven Devils’ insults and hoped Tang San’s death would help Canghui Academy advance in the tournament.
• Shi Nian declared that he enjoyed hunting talented Spirit Masters and threatened to kill Dai Mubai and the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Shi Nian trapped Tang San in his Residual Dream and used illusions to torment him with his deepest fears and most cherished memories. Tang San remained helpless as the illusion turned to Xiao Wu and Bu Le, who seized her.

• Shi Nian dismissed Tang San's warnings about the tournament organizers and admitted he had killed other talented students without being caught.
• Tang San fired the Godly Zhuge Crossbow at Shi Nian twice, but the bolts passed through him because he controlled the Residual Dream illusion.

Tang San broke free of Shi Nian’s Residual Dream illusion and launched a surprise attack with his strongest hidden weapon, the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Gall. Ye Qifeng and Salas watched from hiding as Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Tang Hao approached the forest, leaving the confrontation poised to erupt.

• Shi Nian trapped Tang San in an illusion that made him watch Xiao Wu suffer, while Ye Qifeng and Salas observed and chose not to intervene.

• Tang San broke the illusion with the Purple Demon Eye, empowered by a savage killing intent that Shi Nian had not anticipated.
• Tang San sprang up and threw two Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Galls at Shi Nian, weapons capable of threatening even a Soul Saint.

Tang San exhausted his Soul Power attacking Shi Nian with poisoned hidden weapons, but Shi Nian survived and moved to kill him. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo intervened at the last moment, leaving Shi Nian terrified and unable to explain himself.

• Salas deflected the sword away from Shi Nian’s heart, then stood between Shi Nian and Sword Douluo.
• Ning Fengzhi challenged Salas for protecting Shi Nian, and Salas asked Sword Douluo to withdraw his Soul Power pressure.

Ye Qifeng arrived with Spirit Hall guards and explained why Spirit Hall had not intervened when Shi Nian attacked Tang San, then arranged to take Shi Nian into custody for investigation and trial. Tang San demanded the right to kill Shi Nian himself, but Salas refused, and Ning Fengzhi offered him no support.

• Sword Douluo struck the already-defeated Shi Nian with Soul Power, leaving him gravely injured and unconscious.
• Ye Qifeng emerged with ten Holy Emperor Warriors, greeted Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, and claimed he had come under orders to apprehend Shi Nian.
• Tang San accused Ye Qifeng and Salas of failing to save him, but Ye Qifeng explained that Spirit Hall did not protect Clear Sky Sect remnants and outlined its law-enforcement authority.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to let Spirit Hall investigate Shi Nian's attack on tournament participants, and Ye Qifeng ordered his guards to take Shi Nian away.
• Tang San blocked the guards and asked Salas to let him kill Shi Nian, but Salas insisted Shi Nian must stand trial for harming other students, and Ning Fengzhi declined to help Tang San.

Ye Qifeng revealed that he had rescued Shi Nian to seize his ten-thousand-year head spirit bone, then ordered a public trial and execution. Tang San resented Ning Fengzhi for letting Shi Nian go, but took comfort in the promised execution before Xiao Wu arrived and he fainted in her arms.

• Ye Qifeng told Salas and the Holy Emperor Warriors that Shi Nian possessed the Ten Thousand Year Illusion Wisdom Skull and ordered them to keep it secret until Shi Nian was publicly tried and executed.
• Ning Fengzhi healed Tang San and explained that he had not challenged Spirit Hall because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not afford to oppose it.

Tang San recovered from his exhaustion and shared an awkward, intimate moment with Xiao Wu before Oscar interrupted them. The Shrek Seven Devils then prepared to face undefeated Blazing Academy, but their confidence led them to choose their usual lineup despite Yu Xiaogang's concerns.

• After eleven rounds, the Martial Soul Hall Second Team led the standings, while Elephant Armor Academy fell behind after losing several matches without Huyan Li.

• The Shrek Seven Devils gathered before their match against Blazing Academy, and Yu Xiaogang warned that the elemental academy might still be hiding its strength.
• Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the others dismissed Blazing Academy, and Tang San proposed that they use their usual lineup.

Huo Wu insisted on joining Blazing Academy’s match against the Shrek Seven Devils, while Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San that Blazing Academy was stronger and more tactically versatile than he had expected. The teams were called to the arena, and Tang San resisted the suggestion that Shrek might concede.

• Huo Wushuang assigned Blazing Academy’s lineup, but Huo Wu asked to take the final spot and kept her reason secret.
• Huo Wushuang agreed to let Huo Wu compete, and she warned her teammates to keep their distance when she attacked.

• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that the Four Elemental Academies had adopted specialized roles while retaining their elemental tactics, making Blazing Academy’s offense especially dangerous.
• The host announced Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Blazing Academy, and Tang San frowned at Yu Xiaogang’s advice that Shrek could give up the match if necessary.

Tang San rejected Yu Xiaogang’s suggestion to forfeit against Blazing Academy and chose a revised Shrek Seven Devils lineup with Ning Rongrong replacing Oscar. As the teams took the ring for their twelfth-round match, Ye Qifeng and the others watched from the Martial Soul Hall lounge, and the contest began with Huo Wu among Blazing Academy’s starters.

• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang he would fight Blazing Academy and selected a lineup that included Ning Rongrong instead of Oscar.

• The referee announced the start of the twelfth-round match between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Blazing Academy.
