• The Hongchen siblings asked Jing Hongchen to invest in the resources, and he agreed to buy them despite the cost.

Xu Tianran considered the political risks of the Hongchen Family and Bright Cult while Yang Hao unlocked new powers in his vertical Evil Eye. Yang Hao then focused on research and cultivation and chose Ghost Nana, whose Ghost Martial Soul intrigued Jing Hongchen.

• Yang Hao discovered that refining the Evil Eye had changed it into a vertical eye and unlocked Evil Eye Gaze, Light of Time and Space, and the Fate Judgment skill.
• Yang Hao considered turning his Heavenly Eye into a Martial Soul because its current Soul Bone Skills were difficult to use and the bone would be hard to evolve.
• Yang Hao chose Ghost Nana, and Jing Hongchen guessed that her Ghost Martial Soul had influenced his decision.

Yang Hao recruited Ghost Nana to the academy's Reserve Team and used her as a potential route for the Holy Spirit Cult to obtain the Three Refinements Method and Soul Tool technology.

• Yang Hao invited Ghost Nana to join the academy's Reserve Team because her Ghost Martial Soul suited their Soul Tool project, then brought her to the team villa and made her Soul Armor.
• During an academy break, Ghost Nana met Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare, who revealed Yang Hao as the Holy Son and ordered her to steal the Bright Cult's Three Refinements Method and Soul Tool technology.
• Ghost Nana accepted the spying mission because the Holy Spirit Cult held her parents' souls and promised to free them in return.
• Yang Hao told Wan Hun that Ghost Nana would provide a cover for the Holy Spirit Cult to adopt Soul Armor and Soul Weapons without exposing its ties to the Bright Cult.

Yang Hao brought Tang Ya, now developing her Blue Silver Emperor powers, into his plans to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy’s Reserve Team.

• Ye Xishui told Yang Hao that the Angel God and Rakshasa God had confirmed the Golden Ancient Tree was developing into a Life Core, and they agreed to pursue their own plan to claim control of the Plane.

• Yang Hao and Ji Juechen fought fiercely with their Sword Intent while Tang Ya, Ye Guyi, and the others watched and studied their techniques.
• After a month of packed training, Yang Hao planned a short break, practical training, and Soul Ring hunts for Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Xu Tianzhen.
• Xu Tianzhen said she could not join the hunt because her Soul Ring requirements were unusual, so Yang Hao offered to help awaken her Ultimate Fire attribute.
• Yang Hao brought Xu Tianzhen to a solar-energy gathering site, where Crown Prince Xu Tianran and the Sun Moon Emperor had gathered for the plan.

After the celebration, Yang Hao sought imperial support for the Bright Cult’s plan to obtain mining rights in the Mingdou Mountain Range, and the emperor declared that the empire would reclaim it.

• Yang Hao, Tang Ya, and Ye Guyi combined their power with Xu Tianzhen’s Sun Martial Soul and refined a small amount of Sun True Fire, strengthening Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi, and Yang Hao’s abilities.
• Xu Tianzhen emerged with her evolved Martial Soul and embraced Yang Hao, while the Sun Moon Emperor rewarded him with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

• The Sun Moon Emperor declared that the Mingdou Mountain Range belonged to the Sun Moon Empire and that it was time to reclaim it.

Xu Tianran agreed to seize the Mingdou Mountain Range while Shrek Academy’s strongest fighters were vulnerable, and Yang Hao secretly obtained the Bright Cult’s desired technologies from Ghost Nana. He freed her father’s soul but kept her mother bound, then discovered that her mother had grown close to Wan Hun.

• Yang Hao warned the Sun Moon Emperor and Xu Tianran that Dragon God Douluo was near death but might help Xuan Zi become a Limit Douluo, prompting Xu Tianran to take charge of capturing the Mingdou Mountain Range.

At Star Dou Forest, the group found a fifty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and began fighting it so Xiao Hongchen could obtain its Soul Ring.

• Wan Hun explained that he and Youyou had fallen in love, while Youyou promised to persuade Ghost Nana not to oppose the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Wan Hun reported that Youyou had helped him create the first perfect Soul Spirit, and Yang Hao gave him a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.
