• A Xu Clan elder challenged Xiao Hongchen’s decision, but Qin Yue’s extraordinary talent gave him no rebuttal.

The Star Luo Empire’s final between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy began after the emperor announced the rewards and match format. As the teams took their positions, rain fell over the arena, giving Qin Yue and several Shrek members an advantage.

• Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan suddenly collapsed, and Dai Yueheng recognized that the rainwater was poisoned more severely than in Shrek’s previous match against Beast Academy.

As Shrek lost Xixi and Lin Xi, Qin Yue overwhelmed the Hongchen siblings while Ma Rulong and Mi Jia revealed a plan to kill him inside a Blood Arena. Qin Yue recognized the trap and revealed that he had a Blood Arena of his own, prompting Ma Rulong to connect him to the ambush on his grandfather and the theft of the God Sealing Platform.

• Yan Shaozhe led the Shrek Academy group to Star Luo Imperial City, where Mu Jin selected three Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones from the Royal Treasury.
• Mu Jin explained the Spirit Bones’ attached skills, and Qin Yue chose the Ice Illusion Fox Right Leg Bone before the team allocated the remaining two.
• Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng, Xixi, and Yao Haoxuan withdrew in exchange for Gold Soul Coins, while Dai Yueheng withdrew because the remaining bones conflicted with his own.

• Manyi survived the first blast by using Starry Protection, but Ming Lei fired a second shot, and she despaired as it approached.

Qian Canghai returned with the angels’ power and overwhelmed Nether Douluo, Ming Lei Douluo, and Dark Cloud Douluo. As Nether Douluo and Dark Cloud Douluo made a desperate stand, Qian Canghai invoked his Ninth Soul Ring’s judgment.
