After defeating a Wind Baboon and beginning his fusion with Sky Dream, he waited for Electrolux’s arrival, but a black cyclone swallowed the gray stream of energy and entered his Sea of Consciousness instead.

Huo Yuhao asked to join the struggling Tang Sect, and Tang Ya accepted him after his emotional appeal. The chapter left him as the sect’s second disciple, with a place at Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s remaining secret arts promised to him.

• Tang Ya and Bei Bei reunited with Huo Yuhao by a stream after he had killed a ten-year Wind Baboon and become a Soul Master.

• Huo Yuhao reaffirmed that he wanted to join, and Tang Ya welcomed him as the Tang Sect’s second disciple.

Huo Yuhao tried to cultivate the Tang Sect’s Mysterious Heaven Skill, but the Ghost Killing Art activated on its own and took over his cultivation. He recovered from the backlash, while Bei Bei and Tang Ya remained unaware of what had happened.

• Huo Yuhao showed Bei Bei and Tang Ya that he had reached the first level of the Purple Demon Eye, and they attributed his rapid progress to his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.
• Bei Bei and Tang Ya gave Huo Yuhao the Mysterious Heaven Skill after confirming his injuries had healed, and he began cultivating it under their watch.

• Bei Bei sensed the killing-intent-filled Soul Power and tried to help, while Huo Yuhao blacked out and then regained consciousness, assuring them he was fine.

Huo Yuhao reached Shrek Academy while fearing that Ghost Demon Venerable’s Ghost Killing Art would turn him into a puppet, and he hoped God King Tang would notice his danger. After Tang San ignored his desperate prayer at the Sea God Statue, Huo Yuhao pretended he had only been expressing his admiration.

• Huo Yuhao resolved to reach Shrek Academy and attract God King Tang’s attention without alerting Ghost Demon Venerable.
• Bei Bei and Tang Ya examined Huo Yuhao’s black Soul Power but found nothing abnormal, then hurried with him to Shrek Academy.
• Tang Ya explained that Huo Yuhao’s Tang Sect membership exempted him from the Outer Court’s entry requirements, though he would still face a practical exam in three months.
• At the academy, Huo Yuhao solemnly prayed to the Sea God Statue of Tang San, but Tang San remained distracted with Xiao Wu in the Divine Realm.
• After half an hour without a response, Huo Yuhao told Bei Bei and Tang Ya that he admired Lord Sea God, then followed them farther into the academy while vowing to take revenge on God King Tang.

Huo Yuhao went with Bei Bei and Tang Ya to consult Wang Yan about his unexplained martial soul and Soul Power mutations, while keeping the Ghost Killing Art secret. Wang Yan could not identify the cause and advised Huo Yuhao to keep cultivating and report any changes; the group then left to complete his enrollment.

• Bei Bei and Tang Ya led Huo Yuhao through the Outer Academy and took him to see Wang Yan instead of registering immediately.
• Bei Bei explained Huo Yuhao's mutations to Wang Yan, who examined him and found he could not determine their cause.
• Wang Yan said Huo Yuhao's Purple Demon Eye mutation seemed beneficial, advised him to keep cultivating cautiously, and offered to help if anything changed.
• Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao left to complete Huo Yuhao's enrollment, while Wang Yan decided to observe him before reporting the matter.

Huo Yuhao completed his Shrek Academy enrollment in Freshman Class 9, failed to draw the God King's attention, and headed for the dormitory. After Ning Tian saw him pass by, she mistook her instinctive admiration for a sign of his future strength and decided to pursue him.

• Bei Bei and Tang Ya helped Huo Yuhao register him in Freshman Class 9, avoiding Zhou Yi's class.
• Huo Yuhao offered incense at the Sea God Statue again, but the God King did not respond.
• Ning Tian and Wu Feng complained about the dormitories before setting out to explore Shrek Academy.
• Huo Yuhao passed the two girls, ignored Wu Feng's anger, and continued toward the dormitory to raise Mu En's favorability.
• Ning Tian recognized her admiration as her strong-person radar reacting and told Wu Feng to find out about Huo Yuhao because she planned to pursue him.

Huo Yuhao absorbed the Ghost Killing Art, which drove his Soul Power to level fifteen and intensified his resolve to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke. A new roommate arrived and demanded that Huo Yuhao clean the dormitory, and Huo Yuhao challenged him to try forcing him.

• Huo Yuhao entered Room 108, cleaned it, and began meditating after leaving Mu En, whose favorability toward him increased.
• Huo Yuhao opened the Ghost Killing Art in his Sea of Consciousness and experienced a terrifying vision of Ghost Demon Venerable before the manual merged into him.
• Huo Yuhao grasped the art's focus on killing and swore to destroy the White Tiger Duke and everything he treasured in revenge for Huo Yu'er's suffering.
• The Ghost Killing Art circulated on its own, raising Huo Yuhao's Soul Power to level fifteen, while Mu En sensed his killing intent and called him another poor soul.
• Huo Yuhao's new roommate entered, ordered him to clean the room, and threatened to beat him out; Huo Yuhao smiled and told him to try.

Huo Yuhao fought Wang Dong outside their dormitory and used the Ghost Killing Art to defeat her before she could use her Martial Soul. Wang Dong accepted his orders and, after Huo Yuhao declared himself her master, shyly called him “Master” and fled into the dormitory.

• Wang Dong challenged Huo Yuhao to a fight and promised to obey him if she lost.
• Huo Yuhao dodged Wang Dong's attacks and used the Ghost Killing Art to pin her with a blade of killing intent at her neck.
• Huo Yuhao released Wang Dong and ordered her to clean and maintain their dormitory, and she agreed to keep her word.
• Huo Yuhao called himself Wang Dong's master and pressed her to honor their deal.
• Wang Dong quietly called Huo Yuhao “Master,” rushed into the dormitory, and left Mu En stunned.

Huo Yuhao considered whether Wang Dong could help him contact Tang San, but rejected the dangerous idea and continued studying the Ghost Killing Art. On the first day of class, Wang Dong, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng crossed paths with him, and Wang Dong challenged Ning Tian over a seat.

• Wang Dong broke more dormitory furniture while cleaning, and Huo Yuhao distractedly called her pretty, prompting her to protest that she was not gay.
• Huo Yuhao considered using the mental seal in Wang Dong to alert Tang San to Ghost Demon Venerable, but decided the risks were too great.
• Huo Yuhao resumed cultivating and focused on examining the Ghost Killing Art, while Wang Dong watched him and admired her reflection.
• Several days later, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong attended their first class together in Class Nine, where Ning Tian and Wu Feng approached him.
• Ning Tian sat beside Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong came over and demanded that Ning Tian give up the seat.

Wang Dong and Ning Tian competed for Huo Yuhao’s attention during their first class, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm awakened in Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness and revealed it could take control of his body for one strike. Ghost Demon Venerable remained hidden but was also awake, and Tang San suddenly found himself unable to sleep in the Divine Realm.

• Wang Dong and Ning Tian argued over who would sit beside Huo Yuhao until Mu Jin arrived and began teaching Class Nine.
• Ning Tian asked Huo Yuhao about himself and his dormitory, prompting Wang Dong to pull him toward her and reignite their rivalry.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm awoke, praised Huo Yuhao’s level fifteen Soul Power, and told him it could control his body to strike once if he faced trouble.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fell asleep during Mu Jin’s lesson, while Huo Yuhao wondered why Ghost Demon Venerable had not awakened and decided to spend longer beneath the Sea God Statue.
• Ghost Demon Venerable opened his eyes inside the Black Cyclone and studied the Soul Master knowledge on Mu Jin’s blackboard.
• Tang San opened his eyes in the Asura Mansion because he could not sleep.

Tang San went to the God Realm Hub to check that his plan for Huo Yuhao was proceeding as intended, but discovered an unknown Black Cyclone had replaced the soul fragment he had planted. As he tried to erase it, someone confronted him from behind.

• Tang San left Asura Mansion and used the God Realm Hub to locate Huo Yuhao on Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yuhao offered a third batch of incense at the Sea God Statue, hoping to attract Tang San's attention before meeting Tang Ya to sell grilled fish.
• Tang San saw Huo Yuhao's worship and initially concluded that his plan was safe.
• Tang San checked Huo Yuhao's advantages and found a Black Cyclone where he had left Demigod Electrolux's soul fragment.
• The Black Cyclone noticed Tang San, cut off the Hub's view, and left him realizing his plan had gone badly wrong.
• Tang San channeled Asura Divine Power to try to erase the Black Cyclone, but a cold voice behind him asked what he was doing.

Tang San concealed the cause of the God Realm Hub disturbance from the other God Kings, while God of Destruction decided to guard the Hub himself. At Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao completed his daily check-in and encountered Ma Xiaotao.

• God of Destruction confronted Tang San over the disturbance at the God Realm Hub as Goodness God King, Evil God King, and Goddess of Life arrived.
• Tang San denied knowing what had happened and refused to reveal the unknown threat, so Goddess of Life ended the confrontation without pressing him further.
• After Tang San left, God of Destruction decided to remain stationed at the God Realm Hub and have Goodness and Evil handle his other affairs.
• Tang San resolved to find another way to investigate and deal with the unknown thing affecting his plans on Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yuhao finished his check-in at Shrek Academy and turned to find Ma Xiaotao watching him.

Huo Yuhao accompanied Ma Xiaotao to the market after meeting her at the Sea God Statue, and her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul gave him an idea for controlling its Evil Fire. He decided to risk using the Ghost Demon Venerable as a variable against God King Tang and reject the fate God King Tang had planned for him.

• Huo Yuhao told Ma Xiaotao that he burned incense to seek the Sea God's blessing, and she invited him to walk with her to the market.
• Ma Xiaotao introduced herself, learned Huo Yuhao was a new student, and promised to protect him if anyone bullied him.
• Huo Yuhao considered whether the Ghost Killing Art could help Ma Xiaotao control her Evil Fire and overcome the flaw in her Martial Soul.
• Huo Yuhao realized he might use the Ghost Demon Venerable's power to escape God King Tang's control, though the plan could end in his death.
• Huo Yuhao chose to pursue the risky plan and defiantly raised his middle finger at the sky.

Huo Yuhao accompanied Ma Xiaotao to the marketplace, where Tang Ya and Bei Bei were waiting for him to grill fish. After deflecting Tang Ya’s request to taste her charred cooking, he began preparing fish for her and Bei Bei while Ma Xiaotao joined them.

• Ma Xiaotao misunderstood Huo Yuhao’s gesture as a meaningless movement boys made while walking, and he praised her explanation to cover his embarrassment.
• At the marketplace, Tang Ya called for Huo Yuhao after burning the fish she had tried to grill, and she asked him to taste it.
• Huo Yuhao avoided trying Tang Ya’s charred fish and started grilling fresh ones for her and Bei Bei.
• Tang Ya recognized Ma Xiaotao as an Inner Academy student, and Ma Xiaotao recognized Bei Bei as Thunderbolt Bei Bei.
• Huo Yuhao invited Ma Xiaotao to try his grilled fish after the first two were ready for Tang Ya and Bei Bei, and she sat beside him to wait.

Huo Yuhao used a lesson about controlling fire to guide Ma Xiaotao, then grilled fish for her after Bei Bei gave up his turn. Xu Sanshi arrived and challenged Huo Yuhao, but froze when he saw Ma Xiaotao confronting him.

• Huo Yuhao told Ma Xiaotao that she had to control the flames herself and not seek answers outside herself.
• Huo Yuhao served Tang Ya the first grilled fish, and Bei Bei offered his turn to Ma Xiaotao in exchange for a Gold Soul Coin.
• Xu Sanshi arrived looking dejected after losing track of Nannan and asked to meet Huo Yuhao.
• Xu Sanshi mocked Huo Yuhao's slight build, and Huo Yuhao challenged him to find out for himself whether he was up to it.
• Xu Sanshi moved to confront Huo Yuhao, then noticed Ma Xiaotao and backed down as she asked whether he had a problem with Huo Yuhao grilling fish for her.

Huo Yuhao challenged Xu Sanshi to a contest while grilling fish, and Bei Bei proposed a wager of Mystic Water Pills. The contest had not yet begun when the chapter ended.

• Xu Sanshi backed down after Ma Xiaotao intervened, then realized Bei Bei had known she was there and challenged him to a fight.
• Huo Yuhao taunted Xu Sanshi and said Ma Xiaotao would not interfere, then proposed winning by making Xu Sanshi move before his fish finished grilling.
• Bei Bei blocked Xu Sanshi from fighting Huo Yuhao and asked how they would compete.
• Xu Sanshi accepted Huo Yuhao's grilling-fish challenge, and Bei Bei proposed betting a thousand Gold Soul Coins against a bottle of Mystic Water Pills.

Huo Yuhao won Xu Sanshi’s bet by using a Killing Intent Silver Needle to make him dodge, then gave the Mystic Water Pills to Huo Yuhao. Through the demonstration, Huo Yuhao hoped Ma Xiaotao would realize she could suppress her own Evil Fire, leaving him to wait for the change he had set in motion to take root.

• Xu Sanshi accepted Bei Bei’s bet and agreed that Bei Bei would referee while Huo Yuhao faced him.
• Huo Yuhao focused his killing intent on Xu Sanshi and shaped it into a silver needle, while Xu Sanshi prepared to use his Martial Soul to block it.
• Huo Yuhao redirected the needle toward Xu Sanshi’s crotch, prompting Xu Sanshi to dodge and lose the match.
• Xu Sanshi handed over the Mystic Water Pills, and Bei Bei gave them to Huo Yuhao.
• Ma Xiaotao ate Huo Yuhao’s grilled fish and considered how he had suppressed his emotions; Huo Yuhao hoped she would learn to suppress her Evil Fire through her own will.
