• After Yu Tianheng left, Li Pu arranged for Zhu Zhuqing to join the Imperial Heaven Team 1.
• Li Pu told Zhu Zhuqing he wanted her to defeat the Shrek Seven Devils, and she agreed after he promised to train her.
• Li Pu explained that the exotic flower could serve as a medium for combining a person’s life force, soul, and Martial Soul.
• Zhu Zhuqing swallowed the flower and began meditating as Li Pu revealed he had condensed a Spirit Master’s essence into it.

Tang San and the others traveled toward the Star Dou Forest, hoping to recreate the events that would lead him to the Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Bone. At a hotel, Shrek provoked and defeated Canghui Academy, but a masked woman’s intervention and Dai Mubai’s offer to recruit her changed the expected scene.

• Tang San, Oscar, and Xiao Wu had reached level thirty, and Tang San planned to obtain his External Soul Bone by following the events of his previous life.

• A masked woman stepped in and demanded to know which academy Shrek belonged to, and Dai Mubai offered her a place at Shrek Academy.

The Shrek Seven Devils clashed with the Masked Girl and Blue Sunshine Academy after Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were seriously injured by hidden weapons. The confrontation left Shrek unable to intimidate their opponents with imperial or sect connections.

• The Masked Girl cut Dai Mubai's trousers with a blade in her shoe, while a hidden-weapon attack struck Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun in their lower bodies.
• Tang San and Oscar treated Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, but the injuries left them unable to function normally, and Tang San prepared to retaliate.

• The Masked Girl and another student mocked Shrek's threats, saying they were unafraid of the Star Luo Empire or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• The Shrek companions realized Blue Sunshine Academy had formidable backing, while Tang Rat watched from the shadows.

Ning Rongrong hesitated to provoke the Masked Girl’s mysterious faction, while Tang San tried and failed to force a bet before attacking her. When his Blue Silver Grass was suppressed without the Masked Girl revealing her Martial Soul, Tang San speculated that she might be a powerful plant being and considered refining her.

• Ning Rongrong questioned whether the Masked Girl truly knew the Sect Master, and the Masked Girl warned her against making a powerful enemy for Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

• The Masked Girl dismissed Tang San’s demand to reveal her Martial Soul.

• Tang San made Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun apologize to the Blue Sunshine Academy students and the girls they had insulted.
• The Masked Girl accepted their apologies and left with her companions while Ye Zhiqiu took the injured students to find a Healing-type Spirit Master.
• Tang San pressed the Masked Girl about her Martial Souls and Silent Sleeve Arrows, but she said the weapons were for sale and denied knowing the Tang Sect.
• The Masked Girl left, and Tang San resolved to force her Martial Soul to come out through a suitable opponent.
• Xiao Wu asked whether Tang San had taken a liking to the Masked Girl, and he denied it by claiming he was curious about unknown Martial Souls.

Tang Rat chased the Masked Girl after suspecting she threatened Tang San, but her Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and attacks convinced him she was his wife, Ah Yin. The Masked Girl escaped, leaving Tang Rat to tell Tang San that his mother had returned.

Tang San failed to find the mysterious Blue Silver Grass user and continued following the original events in the Star Dou Forest, while Li Pu’s group intercepted the Titan Giant Ape and forced it to agree to take human form by threatening Xiao Wu. The Titan Giant Ape agreed, hoping Li Pu would keep his word.

• Tang San’s group found the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, competed with Meng Yiran over it, and took the dead Soul Beast with them.

• Li Pu and several Super Douluos blocked the Titan Giant Ape as it hurried to find Xiao Wu.
• Li Pu threatened Xiao Wu’s safety unless the Titan Giant Ape took human form, and the Titan Giant Ape reluctantly agreed.

Meanwhile, Tang San and his companions realized Er Ming had not appeared and rushed to search for the Man Faced Demon Spider without knowing where to go.

• Li Pu sealed the transformed Titan Giant Ape's Soul Power, and the ape accused him of breaking his promise to protect Xiao Wu.
• The Titan Giant Ape warned that stronger Soul Beasts guarded the forest, and Li Pu explained that the two emperors were only guarding an entrance.

Tang San lost his chance to absorb the first Man Faced Demon Spider’s Soul Ring when Xiao Wu killed it to protect him, so he searched for another and absorbed its Soul Ring. He gained an External Soul Bone, but its spider legs appeared on his palms and the soles of his feet rather than his back.

• Tang San found a Man Faced Demon Spider and tortured it to deepen its resentment, while Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch brought Meng Yiran and lost a bet to him.

• Tang San and the others searched for another Man Faced Demon Spider, and Tang San found one about 1,500 years old.
• Tang San killed the second Man Faced Demon Spider, absorbed its Soul Ring, and gained an External Soul Bone.
• The spider legs grew from Tang San’s palms and the soles of his feet instead of his back.

Tang San absorbed his third Soul Ring and gained an unusual External Soul Bone that replaced the Eight Spider Lances with spider-leg spikes on his hands and feet. Though the spikes retained the original’s devouring power, Tang San resolved to hunt another Man Faced Demon Spider for his fourth Soul Ring in hopes of obtaining the Eight Spider Lances.

• Tang San woke to find that his Eight Spider Lances had transformed into purple spider-leg spikes growing from his palms and the soles of his feet.
• Xiao Wu congratulated Tang San and asked him to prepare fresh carrots for her, while he thanked her despite regretting the change.
• Tang San tested the new spikes and watched one pierce a tree, poison it, and drain its energy until it and nearby vegetation dissolved into purple dust.
• Tang San decided to seek another Man Faced Demon Spider for his fourth Soul Ring so he could try to obtain the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone.
• Yu Tianheng suggested the group head back, but they sensed a threatening presence and went on alert.

The Masked Girl and her two Super Douluo guards cornered Tang San and demanded his newly acquired External Soul Bone. Tang San's attempts to shame her and bargain failed, and she ripped the bone from his body, leaving him collapsed.

• The Masked Girl arrived with Jun Buyan and Jun Buyu and revealed that she had come for Tang San's External Soul Bone.
• The Shrek Seven Devils realized the two guards were Super Douluo-level, and Xiao Wu fled to hide while Tang San tried to escape.
• The Masked Girl caught Tang San, rejected his moral appeal and bet, and threatened to cut off his limbs unless he released the Soul Bone.
• Tang San released the External Soul Bone, and the Masked Girl tore its four pieces from his hands and feet, leaving him screaming and limp on the ground.

Li Pu stole Tang San’s External Soul Bone, leaving him severely injured and consumed by vengeance. As Tang San renewed his determination to obtain the Eight Spider Lances, the Shrek Seven Devils debated whether he could be trusted with them.

• Li Pu removed her mask after taking Tang San’s External Soul Bone and predicted he would keep pursuing the Eight Spider Lances.

The group realized Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and possibly Zhu Zhuyun could be pressured into taking the risk.

• Ning Rongrong accused Ma Hongjun of resenting Tang San for failing to bring Bai Chenxiang to godhood, and admitted that she resented Tang San too.
• Dai Mubai defended Tang San, while Oscar urged Ning Rongrong to stop arguing and continue helping their friend.
• Ning Rongrong explained that obtaining an External Soul Bone required an over-limit Soul Ring, overwhelming resentment from the Soul Beast, and exceptional luck.
• Ning Rongrong warned that Tang San would likely make his friends absorb Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Rings rather than sacrifice his own Soul Ring slots.
• Ning Rongrong identified Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and possibly Zhu Zhuyun as likely candidates for the dangerous absorption.
