Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao resented having to seek his help for her Evil Fire and decided to vent her frustration by challenging his older brother, Dai Yueheng.

• Ma Xiaotao decided to restore her reputation and vent her anger by going to the Soul Fighting Arena to beat up Dai Yueheng.

Dai Yueheng struggled with the news that his younger brother Dai Huabin had rapidly closed the gap between them and gained an evolved White Tiger Martial Soul. Seeking an opponent to vent his frustration on, he accepted Ma Xiaotao’s challenge and charged at her as their spar began.

• Ning Tian reflected on Dai Huabin’s ability to evolve Martial Souls and resolved to ask for his help, willing to pay any price if he could restore her Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Dai Huabin gathered his companions and invited them to the Academy’s Treasure Appreciation Fair, where he planned to buy two valuable items. Meanwhile, Lin Huiqun arranged a discounted fifty-thousand-year ice-attribute skull bone to court the group, unaware Dai Huabin might not want it.

• Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu joined the others for dinner in their dormitory, where Dai Huabin announced that they had invitations to the Treasure Appreciation Fair.

• Lin Huiqun prepared the discounted Soul Bone as an effort to win over the three Ultimate Ice Soul Masters, not knowing Dai Huabin already had a hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone.

Dai Huabin and his companions visited the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, where he identified a mislabeled ten-thousand-year treasure and Ning Tian arrived with a request to discuss Martial Soul Evolution. Ning Tian planned to ask whether Dai Huabin could help evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, while Wu Feng worried about the cost and Ning Tian’s independence.

• Dai Huabin found Millennium Whale Rubber labeled as a thousand-year item for 6,000 Gold Soul Coins, though he recognized it was ten thousand years old.

• Wu Feng worried that Ning Tian’s closeness to Dai Huabin might threaten her independence as the sect’s young leader.

Dai Huabin led the group to Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s counter to check their academy credit limits, while Ning Tian considered using the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s wealth to keep him from owing Shrek Academy. The results revealed that Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Snow Empress had unlimited credit, but Wang Dong’er’s one-million limit was far below the price of the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, leaving Dai Huabin weighing whether to borrow for it.

• Dai Huabin explained that core students could borrow from Treasure Gathering Pavilion and repay through missions, contribution points, or money, but that debt could deepen their ties to the academy.
• Ning Tian decided she would rather lend Dai Huabin the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s money than let him owe Shrek Academy a favor, and she took Wu Feng to the counter.
• The manager checked the group’s credit limits and found that Cui Yajie, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong’er each had one million Gold Soul Coins.
• The manager announced that Zhu Lu, Dai Huabin, and Snow Empress had unlimited credit with no price limit per item, while Ice Empress could not check hers because she was not a student.
• Dai Huabin considered whether borrowing for Wang Dong’er’s 9.5-million-Gold-Soul-Coin arm bone would leave him owing Sea God Pavilion another favor.

Dai Huabin bought the Millennium Whale Rubber and arranged for Ning Tian to pay for a Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, which he offered to Wang Dong'er. After Ning Tian asked to speak with him privately, Zhu Lu reassured Wang Dong'er that Huabin was not easily swayed and that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could be useful to him.

• Ning Tian offered to help Dai Huabin avoid owing the academy a favor, and he agreed to let the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect pay for the Soul Bone.
• Dai Huabin bought the Millennium Whale Rubber for six thousand Gold Soul Coins and had Ning Tian purchase the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone for nine million five hundred thousand.
• Dai Huabin offered the Soul Bone to Wang Dong'er, who refused to accept it as a gift, so he handed it to Xiao Xiao to hold for her.
• Ning Tian asked Dai Huabin to speak privately, and he went with her to a lounge while Zhu Lu continued back toward the dorms with the others.
• Wang Dong'er asked Zhu Lu whether she feared Ning Tian would sway Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu said he was the one who tricked others and that the sect could be an asset.
• Wang Dong'er told Xiao Xiao to keep the Soul Bone box and take it to the dorm.

Dai Huabin reassured Ning Tian that their partnership still mattered and raised the possibility of using the Aromatic Silk Beauty to evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Ning Tian realized he likely knew where to find the legendary Immortal Herb, while Dai Huabin left her to infer what he wanted in return.

• Ning Tian told Dai Huabin she feared the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had become less important to him after his dramatic growth and his access to Shrek Academy's resources.

• Ning Tian asked Dai Huabin what he wanted in return for information about the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and he told her to consult her mother before they negotiated.
• Ning Tian clarified that her nine-and-a-half-million-Gold-Soul-Coin purchase of the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone was a personal favor, not part of the bargain.
• Dai Huabin returned to the dormitory with Zhu Lu and thought about revisiting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to collect Immortal Herbs for Ice and Fire Body Tempering.
• Wang Dong'er repeatedly opened the brocade box but hesitated to fuse with the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, while Cui Yajie teased her about the light.
• At dawn, Wang Dong'er fused with the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, awakening its power in her left arm and accepting that she owed Dai Huabin nine and a half million Gold Soul Coins.

Shrek Academy announced a Selection Tournament for its Outer Academy core disciples as preparations began for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. Dai Huabin expected the contest to determine the Shrek Seven Devils Reserve Team and saw it as a chance to enter the Inner Academy early.

• Xu Sanshi saw Dai Huabin surrounded by powerful allies and feared they would clear the arena.
