• Xue Qinghe and Mo Yuxiong arrived, and Bibi Dong stopped Xue Qinghe from approaching while he wore his current disguise.

• Several days later, Bibi Dong watched the Heaven Dou tournament with Xue Qinghe as ten academy teams fought across five arenas.
• Bibi Dong and Xue Qinghe privately criticized the preliminary round's schedule, which required every team to fight twenty-seven matches in a month.

Heaven Dou Second Team faced Skywater Academy Team, where Jun Jiuge’s trio targeted Ning Rongrong to break the team’s reliance on her amplification. Blue Tyrant Academy meanwhile continued to dominate Thunder Academy under Bai Shasha’s lead, while Xue Qinghe watched the battles.

• Bibi Dong said the Elite Tournament would be replaced with a unified assessment system after their plan succeeded, and Xue Qinghe watched the matches below.
• Jun Jiuge, Jiang Liuer, and Huang Lingyu struggled against Heaven Dou Second Team’s teamwork and planned to eliminate Ning Rongrong, whom the team depended on for amplification.
• Jiang Liuer trapped Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Qi Mu, and Gu'erda in his chessboard technique, while Jun Jiuge held off Dai Mubai and Tang San.
• Huang Lingyu flew past Jun Jiuge’s opponents and knocked Ning Rongrong off the arena, leaving Heaven Dou Second Team without her amplification.
• Xue Qinghe turned his attention to Blue Tyrant Academy, where Bai Shasha led her teammates in suppressing Thunder Academy’s stronger lineup.

Bibi Dong and Xue Qinghe watched Bai Shasha dominate the arena and discussed Seagod Island, Twin Spirits, and Bibi Dong’s origins. On Arena Four, Huo Wu refused to withdraw as Blazing Academy struggled against Flame Radiance Academy’s unexpectedly powerful team.

• Xue Qinghe told Bibi Dong that Seagod Island’s people still revered the Seagod and said Ling Yi should have eliminated that influence.
• Bibi Dong noticed Tang Chuan and learned from Xue Qinghe that he and Ye Yuange also had Twin Spirits.
• Bibi Dong explained that Ling Yi had called her a chimera, possibly formed when her twin sister fused with her before birth, though Bibi Dong suspected she had devoured her sister.
• Huo Wu rejected Huo Wushuang’s proposal to preserve their strength, insisting Blazing Academy needed the points to secure an advancement spot.
• Huo Wushuang lamented that Flame Radiance Academy had three powerful Four Ring Soul Ancestors, including Xin Zhuoyang, who had overwhelmed him in battle.

Xin Zhuoyang and Wu Rendi led the Flame Radiance Academy Team to defeat Blazing Academy, completing the Five Elements Academy’s collapse in the preliminary round. After the victory, Tang Chuan considered joining the Strength Clan to help unite the scattered Single Attribute Four Sects, but questioned whether he had the standing to lead them.

• Huo Wushuang conceded after Xin Zhuoyang held his spearblade at Huo Wu’s throat, and the referee declared the Flame Radiance Academy Team the winner.
• Spectators discussed how Elephant Armor Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Heaven Water Academy, Thunder Academy, and Blazing Academy had all lost, making the teams that defeated them new favorites.
• Huang Yuan welcomed Bai Shasha and her teammates back to Blue Tyrant Academy’s rest area, where Tai Long told Tang Chuan that his grandfather had the material Tang Chuan wanted.
• Tai Long said his grandfather would offer Tang Chuan the material and other precious materials if Tang Chuan joined the Strength Clan.
• Tang Chuan weighed the offer against his plan to unite the Single Attribute Four Sects for Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, then wondered whether a Four Ring Soul Ancestor could lead them.

Tang Chuan was ambushed by a white-robed Soul Sage who trapped him in the illusion of his Seventh Soul Skill, Nightmare. As Tang Chuan broke through the illusion and reached the third level of Purple Demon Eyes, he discovered Star Lord had appeared beside them.

• After losing Master Luo’s guidance and worrying about his place among Great Qian’s geniuses, Tang Chuan realized the street around him was an illusion.
• The white-robed old man revealed that he had lured Tang Chuan away from Heaven Dou City to kill him and conceal the crime as an act by a rejected recruiter.
• The old man trapped Tang Chuan in Nightmare and claimed that even a Seven-Ring Soul Sage could not escape his illusion.
• Tang Chuan faced illusions of Tang Sect elders at Guijianchou Cliff and affirmed that he was Tang Chuan of Great Qian, not Tang San.
• While a mysterious stranger startled the old man, Tang Chuan pierced the illusion, awakened the third level of Purple Demon Eyes, and saw Star Lord nearby.

Ni Xing killed Shi Nian without any visible effort after Tang Chuan encountered the dangerous Soul Sage. Jun Jiuge, Jiang Liuer, and Huang Lingyu arrived, and a Soul Bone emerged from Shi Nian’s corpse, leaving Tang Chuan shaken by how close he had come to dying.

• Ni Xing recognized Shi Nian as a counterpart to the illusionist who had once ambushed him, then killed him without any visible attack.
• Tang Chuan sensed someone nearby, and Jun Jiuge, Jiang Liuer, and Huang Lingyu emerged from behind the trees.
• Tang Chuan thanked Ni Xing for saving his life, while Ni Xing told the newcomers to explain their plan and warned that Da Qian Law would punish any concealment.
• A multicolored Soul Bone emerged from Shi Nian’s corpse and flew into Ni Xing’s hand.
• Tang Chuan realized Shi Nian might have used the Soul Bone’s power against him and felt genuine fear and gratitude toward Ni Xing.

Ni Xing confronted Jun Jiuge, Jiang Liuer, and Huang Lingyu about Shi Nian’s attack on Tang Chuan, and they revealed their plans for the upcoming tournament match. The chapter ended with Jun Jiuge insisting that they had come to save Tang Chuan and intended to eliminate Shi Nian.

• Ni Xing identified himself as Commandant Ni Xing of the Black Tortoise Legion’s Yao Guang Camp, and Jun Jiuge, Jiang Liuer, and Huang Lingyu recognized him as Po Jun Star Lord.
• Ni Xing accused the three of involving an outsider in an attack on a teammate, while Tang Chuan suspected they had targeted him.
• Jun Jiuge explained that Shi Nian, Skywater Academy’s vice dean, resented the three newcomers for taking tournament spots from his trained students.
• Jun Jiuge revealed that he, Jiang Liuer, and Huang Lingyu would sit out the match against Blue Tyrant Academy so Shi Nian’s seven students could use the Seven Shura Illusion Realm.
• Tang Chuan concluded that Shi Nian had attacked him to clear an obstacle before the match, and Jun Jiuge claimed the three had come to save him and were preparing to get rid of Shi Nian.

Ni Xing heard Jun Jiuge’s explanation for Tang Chuan’s attack and warned that the Ministry of Justice would be informed. Elsewhere, Yu Xiaogang told Tang San he suspected Tang Chuan and several other people were not human, but Mirror Image Beasts.

• Ni Xing said Jun Jiuge’s account had no obvious flaws but could not rule out that they had guided Shi Nian to target Tang Chuan, and he would report the attack to the Ministry of Justice.
• Jun Jiuge swore that he and the others had never intended to harm Tang Chuan and explained that they had originally chosen Feng Xiaotian as bait before following Shi Nian.
• Ni Xing accepted Jun Jiuge’s explanation for the time being and warned Jiang Liuer to confess anything he had left out.
• Yu Xiaogang visited Tang San, who remained conflicted about his former teacher, and claimed that Tang Chuan, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and others were not human.
• Yu Xiaogang compared their similarities to the Mirror Image Beast’s abilities and named Tang Chuan as part of the pattern.

Tang San doubted Yu Xiaogang’s theory about the people resembling figures from his world, while Yu Xiaogang left Heaven Dou City to pursue his own conclusions. On the final day of the Preliminary Round, Bai Shasha faced the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul Fusion Skill and revealed the power of her Great White Demon Shark martial soul.

• Tang San refused to accept Yu Xiaogang’s conjecture fully and focused on the remaining Preliminary Round matches, though the warning about Dugu Yan, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and others stayed with him.
• Yu Xiaogang left Heaven Dou City, while Xue Qinghe ordered Yi Linlie to keep him and Tang San under observation.
• Yi Linlie met Ni Xing at the Crown Prince Residence, where Ni Xing went to report Remnant Dream Shi Nian’s assassination attempt on Tang Chuan and the people involved.
• On the final day of the Preliminary Round, the Heaven Water Academy Team unleashed the Ice Snow Drifting Martial Soul Fusion Skill against Tang Chuan, Meng Yiran, Bai Shasha, and their teammates.
• Bai Shasha confronted the descending Ice Phoenix with her Great White Demon Shark martial soul, and the two powers clashed above the shattered ring.
• Platinum Bishop Salas watched Bai Shasha resist the fusion skill and considered recruiting her into Spirit Hall to expand its influence toward the coast and Seagod Island.

At the tournament ceremony, Xue Ye rewarded the advancing teams with noble titles and promised further benefits, while Salas tried to recruit their standout members for Spirit Hall. Bai Shasha and the others remained noncommittal as the Advancement Tournament approached.

• Salas recognized Bai Shasha, Tang Chuan, Zuo Fan, Xin Zhuoyang, Jun Jiuge, and the other competitors as exceptional talents he wanted to recruit for Spirit Hall.
• Xue Ye presented the five teams with qualification certificates and prize money, then granted titles and promised fiefs to the participating students.
• Salas objected to Xue Ye’s rewards, but Xue Ye insisted that awarding imperial titles was the Empire’s internal matter.
• Xue Ye promised to elevate the champion team’s titles, grant its academy the Royal prefix and imperial funding, and hold the Advancement Tournament in the Royal Hunting Ground one month later.
• After Xue Ye departed, Salas invited Bai Shasha and the others to join Spirit Hall, but most stayed calm and undecided while Shui Bing’er and her teammate hesitated.

Tang Chuan visited the Strength Clan to meet Tai Tan, hoping to join the clan and use it to build ties with the other Single Attribute Four Sects. Tai Tan gave him the Black Vein Iron without mentioning recruitment, leaving Tang Chuan unsure how to advance his plan.

• Tang Chuan arrived at the Strength Clan estate and told the gate guards he had come from Blue Tyrant Academy to see Tai Tan.
• Tai Long welcomed Tang Chuan and led him to the Council Hall, explaining that Tai Tan had doubted his claims about Tang Chuan’s visit.
• Tai Tan arrived and tested Tang Chuan’s composure before presenting him with a human-head-sized piece of Black Vein Iron.
• Tai Tan gave Tang Chuan the iron without asking him to join the Strength Clan, then left after telling Tai Long to entertain his guest.
• Tang Chuan was pleased to receive the rare metal but worried that Tai Tan’s gift had disrupted his plan to join the clan and unite the four clans.

Xue Qinghe worried that Spirit Hall would expose her false identity when the tournament Finals moved to Spirit City, while Lin Qian advised her on how to handle the expected contact. Meanwhile, Tang Chuan explained how he had won Tai Tan’s interest with advanced forging techniques and alloy formulas as the procession set out for Spirit City.

• Xue Qinghe asked Lin Qian whether Spirit Hall would test her identity during the trip, and Lin Qian said Spirit Hall would certainly contact her.
• Lin Qian explained that Qian Renxue had previously sent Spirit Hall updates, while Serpent Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo had covered for Xue Qinghe’s long silence.
• Xue Qinghe asked whether Qian Renxue would submit to Great Qian, and Lin Qian said Qian Renxue remained difficult to read.
• Xue Qinghe considered claiming illness and letting Ni Xing attend the tournament judging in her place if her identity risk became too great.
• Tai Long asked Tang Chuan what had drawn Tai Tan into the forging room, and Tang Chuan said he had traded forging techniques and alloy formulas for Tai Tan’s help with Black Vein Iron parts.

Tang Chuan learned from Master Luo why Tai Tan had chosen to trade rather than recruit him, and received the completed components for the Peacock Plume in exchange for Spiritual Metal formulas and forging processes. Armed with the hidden weapon as a new trump card, Tang Chuan reassured Meng Yiran that Spirit Hall was unlikely to attack them as they traveled toward Spirit City.

• Master Luo briefly woke and explained that Tai Tan had changed his approach because Tang Chuan’s talent was dangerous enough to put any recruiting force at risk.
• Tang Chuan recognized that the Peacock Plume was the Tang Sect hidden weapon he had the best chance to produce with the materials and craftsmen available on Douluo Continent.
• Tai Tan completed the Peacock Plume’s components after more than a month of forging, and Tang Chuan paid him with three Spiritual Metal formulas and their forging processes.
• Tang Chuan held the finished Peacock Plume as a personal weapon and estimated that it could kill a Seven-Ring Soul Sage and badly injure an Eight Ring Soul Douluo.
• Tang Chuan told Meng Yiran that Spirit Hall would probably renew its recruitment offer in Spirit City rather than attack them, leaving only a few families capable of sending a Titled Douluo after them.

Tang Chuan and the Blue Tyrant Academy group were ambushed while traveling to Spirit City, and masked attackers engaged the Royal Knights, teachers, and students in a fierce battle. Two observers on the cliffs watched the fight, with the blond man questioning whether His Majesty had been misled about Bai Shasha, Meng Yiran, and Tang Chuan.

• On the eleventh day of the journey, Black Feather Ravens and falling rocks alerted Shu Yun to an ambush in a canyon, and the Royal Knights formed defensive ranks.
• Bai Shasha led Tang Chuan, Meng Yiran, and their companions out of their carriage to regroup with Liu Erlong while academy students rushed to the front.
• Jun Jiuge and Jiang Liuer joined Tang Chuan and assessed that the attackers had prepared the rocks to divide and restrain the traveling party.
• Masked fighters poured down from both cliffs and battled Shu Yun, the academy teachers, and the students.
• A blond man and a tattoo-faced man watched from the cliff, and the blond man wondered whether His Majesty had been deceived about Bai Shasha, Meng Yiran, and Tang Chuan.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang confronted the masked attackers to protect the children, but a powerful white-clad Titled Douluo appeared and challenged them. Elsewhere, two mysterious figures watched the battle as a Yellow Dog and Li Hua Cat overwhelmed the attackers, leaving two Soul Sages stunned by their strength.

• Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang joined forces to repel Luo Erdi Yala and refused to abandon the other Meng Yiran to the attackers.
• Luo Erdi Yala warned that a powerful ally was coming and demanded the other Meng Yiran be handed over, prompting Meng Shu to consider retreating.

• Meng Shu recognized the white-clad man and challenged him, while the man mocked the couple as the Peerless Dragon Snake.
• Ning Fengzhi watched from a distant cliff as a Yellow Dog and Li Hua Cat knocked out black-clad attackers until two Seven-Ring Soul Sages stopped them.

The white-clad Titled Douluo effortlessly defeated the Peerless Dragon Snake couple, then became interested in Tang Chuan after learning he had seen the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. He survived Tang Chuan’s Peacock Plume attack and tried to take him away, but an unknown elder intervened.

• The Peerless Dragon Snake couple used Dragon Snake Strike, but the white-clad Titled Douluo broke the Green Claw Golden Dragon’s jaws and knocked it to the canyon floor.
• Xin Zhuoyang and Tang Chuan recognized the attacker as a Titled Douluo with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul.
• The white-clad Titled Douluo appeared beside Tang Chuan and urgently asked where and when he had seen the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
• Tang Chuan fired the Tang Sect hidden weapon Peacock Plume at close range, but the white-clad Titled Douluo endured the attack with only minor bleeding.
• The white-clad Titled Douluo tried to seize Tang Chuan, but an unseen elder caught his wrist and demanded to know whether he had asked before taking the elder’s disciple.

Master Luo appeared to save Tang Chuan, revealed a powerful three-headed dragon martial soul, and fought off Yue Guan and Gui Mei during the ambush. After the attackers retreated, Xue Qinghe asked the group whether they still planned to continue their journey.

• Master Luo stopped Yue Guan from attacking Tang Chuan and summoned his Blood-colored Three-Headed Dragon Beast martial soul.
• Gui Mei attacked Master Luo, who revealed that he had eight soul rings and fought back against both Gui Mei and Yue Guan.
• A Yellow Dog and Li Hua Cat arrived with a black cat, and the Yellow Dog recognized Master Luo as Xiao Luo Luo.
• Master Luo forced Yue Guan and Gui Mei to retreat, and the black-clad attackers withdrew with their fallen companions.
• Xue Qinghe organized aid for the wounded and asked Bai Shasha, Tang Chuan, and the others whether they would continue onward.

Bai Shasha, Tang Chuan, and the other Heaven Dou teams continued their journey to Spirit City despite the danger and arrived safely. On the eve of the tournament finals, Bibi Dong confronted Lin Qian in Crown Prince Xue Qinghe’s room and questioned where he had gone.

• Tang Chuan and the other students insisted to Xue Qinghe that they would continue toward Spirit City, with Zuo Fan offering a poetic declaration of resolve.
• The convoy traveled safely for the next ten days and reached Spirit City, where Xue Qinghe led the fifteen Heaven Dou academy teams to their hotel.

• On the night before the finals, Bibi Dong entered Xue Qinghe’s room and asked Lin Qian where the crown prince had gone.
• Lin Qian identified Bibi Dong as Spirit Hall’s Pope and calmly met her probing questions, prompting Bibi Dong to call her interesting and different.

Lin Qian kept Dugu Yan disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe while the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament began in Spirit City. Bai Shasha faced Davis and Zhu Zhuyun in the third round and challenged them to summon the Hell White Tiger or leave the arena.

• After Bibi Dong left, Dugu Yan asked Lin Qian whether her disguise had been exposed, and Lin Qian told her to keep pretending to be Xue Qinghe until he returned.
• The tournament began in Spirit City's reinforced arena, and the first two rounds set the top ten teams, with five Heaven Dou Empire teams advancing.
• Before the third round, foreign minister Buck Smiled urged First Prince Davis not to underestimate his opponent, and Zhu Zhuyun assured him they would win.
• Bai Shasha faced Davis and Zhu Zhuyun at the front of her team's formation while Tang Chuan, Meng Yiran, and the others charged toward their teammates.
• Bai Shasha swiftly struck Davis and Zhu Zhuyun back, then demanded that they summon the Hell White Tiger or leave the stage.
• Spectators criticized Bai Shasha's confidence, while the narration revealed that she was a Level 53 Soul King whose Martial Dao had neared Elixir Strength.
