Sikong Jing prepared to tell Jiang Wanyou about Hua Lidian, while Yao Yulou secretly arrived to listen. Elsewhere, Zheng Chepao reported to Jin Liwu that Sikong Jing had defeated him and killed members of the Martial Cry Battle Team.
After Zheng Chepao reported that Sikong Jing had defeated him, Jin Liwu decided to lead the Martial Cry Battle Team against Yang Yi’s courtyard and seize Sikong Jing’s Tyrant Soul Token. Meanwhile, Fan Kui restrained himself as the White Wild Battle Team abused poor residents during a search in Chaos District Eight.
Chou Zhan and Fan Kui defended a family from the White Wild Battle Team before Old He appeared, revealed that Su Old Devil’s remnants had released Brother Jing, and gave them Green Jade Tubes. Yang Yi ordered the Heavenly Wolf Team to leave the area, then received an alarming message from Xiao Min.
Yang Yi mobilized the Heavenly Wolf Team after learning the Martial Cry Battle Team might attack Sikong Jing and the children, while Old Xiu and Old He worked to protect Sikong Jing from suspicion by the Eastern Tyrant Branch. Sikong Jing gave Jiang Wanyou Hua Lidian’s jade pendant, but she returned it to him as a keepsake.
Jiang Wanyou chose to remain with Yao Yulou despite learning that Hua Lidian had been forced to leave, while Sikong Jing kept his doubts about Yao Yulou’s ties to the Thousand Kings Holy Tower to himself. The Martial Cry Battle Team surrounded the courtyard and threatened the children, but Duanmu Chun’s urgent summons redirected the battle teams toward the northwestern edge of Chaos District Eight, where Xiu Hanzhi and He Congsheng were.
Jin Liwu defied Duanmu Chun’s summons and ordered the Martial Cry Battle Team to attack Sikong Jing’s courtyard for the Tyrant Soul Token. Sikong Jing used forced troop control to repel the first assault, then raised a larger spear to meet Jin Liwu’s formation-powered strike.
Sikong Jing secretly rallied nearby demon beasts to resist the Martial Cry Battle Team, while Yang Yi’s anger over Xiao Min’s injuries drove him to choose to drive the enemy away rather than cripple or kill them. Sikong Jing formed a battle-killing formation with the Heavenly Wolf Team as Zheng Chepao returned to Jin Liwu, still unsure how to defeat him.
Sikong Jing used the Heavenly Wolf Team’s varied Army-Slaying formations to outmaneuver Jin Liwu and the much larger Martial Cry Battle Team. As Martial Cry members lost their weapons and fighting spirit, Jin Liwu’s control weakened and he vomited blood.
Yang Yi used Sikong Jing’s formation to turn Martial Cry members against Jin Liwu, and Heavenly Wolf defeated Martial Cry. After Jin Liwu fled, Yang Yi let the defectors choose whether to stay, leaving fifty thousand to join Heavenly Wolf.
Sikong Jing returned to the Heavenly Wolf Team as Yang Yi dealt with the aftermath of their clash. At the edge of Chaos District Eight, Old Xiu ended his confrontation with Duanmu Chun by handing over a fragmentary diagram, which he intended for Sikong Jing to study.
Duanmu Chun and Di Geng dismissed Sikong Jing’s military talent and planned to have Jin Liwu defeat him in a battle-killing duel. Jin Liwu then arrived battered and reported that Sikong Jing’s formation had beaten the Martial Cry Battle Team and cost him more than a hundred thousand soldiers, prompting Di Geng to set out after Sikong Jing and Yang Yi.
Di Geng confronted Sikong Jing and Yang Yi, demanding to investigate Jiang Wanyou and see her face. As he refused to back down, an unfamiliar voice asked whether he truly wanted to see the face of its speaker’s wife.
Yao Yulou arrived and revealed Jiang Wanyou was his wife, defending her and asking the Eastern Overlord Team to treat Chaos District Eight’s people gently. Di Geng then tried to punish Sikong Jing for killing, but Sikong Jing and Yang Yi challenged his double standard, and Yao Yulou backed them.
After the conflict in Yang Yi’s courtyard ended, Yao Yulou took Jiang Wanyou home and chose to deepen his betrayal of his lord by acting on his feelings for her. Meanwhile, Sikong Jing returned safely, leaving Wan Tonghui furious until Yang Li arrived with news.
Wan Tonghui and Yang Li sought Weng Ting’s help in obtaining a Tyrant Soul Token while Sikong Jing arrived at the Tyrant Soul Secret Academy with Yang Yi and Fan Kui. The chapter ended as Weng Ting interrupted Yang Li’s request, turning her attention toward Captain Yang.
Yang Li and Wan Tonghui tried to obtain Weng Ting’s Tyrant Soul Token, but Hua Meixi arrived with an order from Duanmu Chun that would let teams compete for it by challenging Weng Ting. Weng Ting had yet to accept, leaving the token’s fate unresolved.
Weng Ting agreed to let the captains and those present challenge her, but Sikong Jing stole the attention by offering Yang Yi a Tyrant Soul Token. When Yang Yi hesitated, Sikong Jing revealed he had a second token, which Hua Meixi confirmed was genuine, leaving the crowd stunned.
Sikong Jing gave Yang Yi and Fan Kui Tyrant Soul Tokens before Weng Ting challenged the academy members to face her for the token she held. Fan Kui endured eleven of her attacks, including one powered by her Silver Moon Phantom, and returned defeated but praised; Sikong Jing reminded him that Old He’s cultivation method could help him improve.
Yang Li attacked Gongyang Ying after losing to Weng Ting, and Sikong Jing stepped in to stop her. Yang Li challenged him to a fight to the death, but Sikong Jing instead proposed that she and Wan Tonghui publicly admit defeat if she lost.
Sikong Jing agreed to duel Yang Li for the Tyrant Soul Token, while the captains took turns challenging Weng Ting. As Yang Yi stepped up to fight Weng Ting, he aimed to surpass four hundred moves, and Sikong Jing privately attributed his kindness toward Hua Meixi to her mother.
Weng Ting tested the captains for the Tyrant Soul Token, defeating Yang Yi after 362 moves and Hua Meixi after 376. Hua Meixi revealed that her Demonic Charm Battle Body had risen to fourth grade, but she left the contest without the token.
After Wan Tonghui defeated Hua Meixi and claimed the right to Weng Ting’s Tyrant Soul Token, Sikong Jing stepped forward and challenged Weng Ting himself. He insisted that former members of the Tyrant Soul Secret Academy were allowed to challenge her, despite the crowd’s ridicule.
Sikong Jing challenged Weng Ting and used his strange movement technique to withstand her attacks despite his First Reverse Soul Realm cultivation. After Weng Ting unleashed her Silver Moon Phantom battle-body power, Sikong Jing evaded it by merging with the moonlight and claimed his Shadow Moon Step countered her.
Sikong Jing used the Shadow Moon Step and his Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness to counter Weng Ting’s Silver Moon Phantom battle-body power. Weng Ting increased the number of phantoms to eight, surrounding him as he tested how much their attacks his spirit-martial fusion could withstand.
Sikong Jing endured around twelve hundred moves from Weng Ting and won her Tyrant Soul Token, humiliating Wan Tonghui and Yang Li. After Weng Ting slapped Yang Li for accusing her of holding back, Sikong Jing reminded Yang Li of their agreed match, and Yang Li accepted.
