• Xuan Zi started the match, and Liu Yuan’s team used Di Qiu’er’s bloodline pressure, Liu Yuan’s willow roots, and He Caitou’s artillery to eliminate nearly half the opposing team in the opening exchange.
• Liu Yuan’s team split up to fight the remaining students, with Jiang Nannan overpowering Wang Dong’er and the others securing more eliminations.

Liu Yuan realized Wang Dong'er had developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him, while secretly planning to thwart Tang San's schemes. He then went to Sea God Island to observe Ma Xiaotao begin a dangerous experiment.

• Wang Dong'er sprained her ankle after climbing down from Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan healed it with his Origin Willow Martial Soul as they sensed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Ma Xiaotao forged her Martial Soul Natal Weapon and discovered that Heavenly Tribulations descended after she recovered, suppressing her Evil Fire but worsening with each Soul Pattern fused. A level ninety-three Titled Douluo then tested Liu Yuan’s theory, and the trials revealed how tribulations scaled with cultivation and the stages at which Soul Patterns were refined.

• Ma Xiaotao forged a fiery spear from bird bones and a Soul Bone after refining five Soul Patterns, but no Heavenly Tribulation appeared at first.

• A level ninety-three Titled Douluo forged his Martial Soul Natal Weapon and endured three earlier tribulations followed by a prolonged trial spanning levels ninety-one through ninety-three.

After the Heavenly Tribulations drew attention, Shrek Academy made plans to have its members undergo them far from populated areas, while Liu Yuan continued his studies, cultivation, and training. He reunited with Ma Xiaotao during a joint practice session, then learned that both groups would compete in the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament.

• Xuan Zi brought the seven Main Selection Team members to train with Liu Yuan's group, and Liu Yuan teased Ma Xiaotao by calling her his little Junior Nephew.
• Ma Xiaotao's teammates realized Liu Yuan was her Junior Uncle, while Xuan Zi let the embarrassing exchange continue until it was time to speak.
• Xuan Zi announced that the tournament would begin in ten days and explained that both groups would compete, with the Main Selection Team's abilities kept concealed when possible.

Xuan Zi had the Reserve Team and Main Selection Team introduce themselves, then arranged a friendly match between teams led by Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng. Ma Xiaotao's picks left Dai Yaoheng with a seemingly overwhelming advantage, and the Reserve Team members feared defeat.

• Xuan Zi abandoned his threat to bar the students from the Inner Court, and Liu Yuan joked that his dark-looking face was merely dirty.
• Liu Yuan introduced himself as a second-year rank forty-eight Soul Ancestor, and Di Qiu'er revealed she was a second-year rank forty-four Soul Ancestor, shocking the Main Selection Team.

Dai Yaoheng and Ma Xiaotao fought a rematch with Liu Yuan and Di Qiu'er on opposite teams, while Liu Yuan gathered light energy to evolve the Wood Man into the Jupiter God. The chapter ended with Liu Yuan preparing to fire the Jupiter God’s Sky Shield Missile at Ma Xiaotao’s team.

• Liu Yuan led Huo Yuhao to the Liu Mansion in Shrek City, where Huo Yuhao mistook the neighboring Huo Mansion for a house Liu Yuan had bought for him.

• Xiao Hongchen explained that God Fruits granted a fitting Soul Ring and one of three types of abilities, while Meng Hongchen said hers had tasted delicious.

• Electrolux confirmed the fruits contained Divine Origins, Power of Faith, and the gods’ consciousness, and explained the difference between their laws.
