While Ma Xiaotao accused him of violating her, Yang Hao told her his account of Shrek’s role in his family’s downfall, and she began to recognize his voice.

• Yang Hao fired all thirty-six Katyusha rockets at Zhongli Wu, who activated his Martial Soul Avatar to contain the explosions as Long Xiaoyao helped suppress the shock waves and Feng Ling protected Ma Xiaotao.
• Zhongli Wu stopped Yang Hao from setting off another enormous weapon because the blast could collapse the headquarters, and Yang Hao opened it to show the explosives packed inside.
• Yang Hao explained that his stable explosives could be produced from ordinary materials and proposed dropping a large bomb on Shrek Academy to destroy it.

He later studied the Holy Spirit Cult’s records and began planning an Origin Soul Core cultivation method to break through level bottlenecks.

Yang Hao explained his plans to research Soul Cores as a path toward godhood, while Feng Ling gave him a powerful defensive Soul Tool. Long Xiaoyao worried that Yang Hao’s weapons and desire for revenge could reshape the continent, and Feng Ling then arranged a spar to help him gain combat experience.
