• Ning Que became intrigued by the inner core and wondered how it could have come from a soul beast he believed was still protected in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ning Que accepted a rare inner core from Dai Yueheng for Guyi, then decided against interfering with Huo Yuhao’s coming connection to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Meanwhile, Shrek Academy’s champions went unpaid amid Cai Mei’er’s seclusion and Yan Shaozhe’s fixation on revenge, leaving several participants to reconsider their ties to the academy.

• Dai Yueheng gave Ning Que an inner core in exchange for help healing his injuries, and Ning Que agreed to pass it to Guyi after her seclusion.

• Yan Shaozhe focused on finding ways to retaliate against Ning Que and forgot to distribute the tournament rewards to the champions.
• Chen Zifeng and Xi Xi left Shrek Academy believing it had withheld their reward because they joined the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, while Zhao Long and Jing Ye began considering other options.

Jing Ye sought a place in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and Ning Que recruited most of Shrek Academy’s championship team while continuing to prepare for a soul beast hunt. When Guyi reached a critical stage in her attempt to condense a Soul Core, Mu En offered to help in exchange for her promise to aid Shrek Academy in a future crisis.

• Mu En offered to help Guyi at the critical moment in exchange for her promise to aid Shrek Academy once if it faced destruction.

Ye Guyi emerged from seclusion after condensing her first Soul Core, then told Ning Que that the Golden Tree had helped her and Elder Yi in exchange for a promise to free it after they became gods. Ning Que learned that Tang San had imprisoned the Golden Tree beneath Shrek Academy, and the chapter ended with Ye Guyi playfully asking him to notice how she had changed.

• At the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce, Ye Guyi asked Ning Que whether he noticed anything different about her, and he teased her before she pounced on him.

Ye Guyi told Ning Que how the Golden Tree had strengthened her sacred and light attributes, formed a natal soul ring, and agreed to cultivate spiritual herbs for them.

The Golden Tree gave Ye Guyi a precious gift, and Electrolux moved into Ning Que’s Sea of Consciousness to eventually teach him Light Magic. Ning Que then led the younger sect members into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul rings, where they found a thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear for Zhou Sichen.

• Ning Que found a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear fighting a Gale Demon Wolf and defeated it with a single spear strike.

• The Auspicious Beast cuddled Ye Guyi and showed interest in Huo Yuhao, so Ning Que told Ye Guyi to reveal the Auspicious Beast’s inner core briefly.

• Ye Guyi proposed getting engaged and having a child, and Ning Que agreed to discuss an engagement date with her father.
• Ning Tian lamented missing a Soul Ring and the thought of Ye Guyi becoming her sister-in-law, so Jin Sheng bet that Ning Que had prepared Soul Beasts for them.
• In the God Realm, Tang San felt puzzled.

Tang San investigated why the Fate Power connection had failed while Ning Que and the others returned safely to the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce. Ning Tian lost a bet to Jin Sheng and unknowingly bound herself closer to him, while Ning Que offered the former Shrek students a chance at hundred-thousand-year soul rings if they joined his sect.

• Tang San began inspecting his arrangements, knowing that even a brief examination would cost more than half a year on the Douluo Continent.

• Ning Que left the arrangements for Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng to the sect and went to meet Huo Yuhao.
• Ning Que used their shared connection to Electrolux’s sect to build rapport with Huo Yuhao and proposed inviting their teachers to talk.
• Huo Yuhao and Ning Que summoned their Electroluxes, revealing two versions with different appearances, auras, and strengths.
• Ning Que recognized Huo Yuhao’s Electrolux as the version who had challenged an entire continent and slaughtered an era.
