• Li Moxun asked to treat Yu Tianlong, Ye Xinglan, and the other students to dinner, then chose North City Restaurant without inviting Gu Yue.

Gu Yue lured Leng Yaozhu toward the Tang Sect while secretly arranging an ambush with the four great fierce beasts. The plan was to kill Leng Yaozhu and destroy the Tang Sect’s Skysea City base, leaving evidence that would deepen the conflict between the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda.

Li Moxun used the dinner with Shrek students to establish an alibi while Gu Yue and Di Tian carried out his plan against Leng Yaozhu and Tang Wulin. He intended to take Tang Wulin’s bloodline and kill Leng Yaozhu, leaving the others to blame Tang Wulin.

• Di Tian destroyed the communication device and approached the Tang Sect’s remaining seven-ring Soul Sage while Gu Yue recorded Tang Wulin’s identity at the punch clock and waited with him.
• Ye Xinglan ordered an expensive meal at the Seafood Hotel, and Li Moxun calmly offered to pay the bill and an extra tip.

• Li Moxun welcomed the students as witnesses to his dinner, intending to use their presence as proof that he could not have attacked Leng Yaozhu.
• Li Moxun planned to take Tang Wulin away, extract his bloodline, and have Leng Yaozhu killed so she could not continue investigating him.

At the Tang Sect, Di Tian attacked Leng Yaozhu while Gu Yue began extracting the Golden Dragon King's core authority from Tang Wulin. After Di Tian severely wounded Leng Yaozhu and left, two young fighters charged into the base to confront her.

After Leng Yaozhu’s death, the Spirit Pagoda began investigating everyone from Eastsea City, and Li Moxun went with Shen Yi to undergo questioning. At the Spirit Pagoda, the Tower Master requested a personal meeting with Li Moxun and Gu Yue.

• Qian Gu Dongfeng received Leng Yaozhu’s message and hurriedly left after reading it.
• Li Moxun stayed in his room, believing the investigation would not be able to prove his involvement in Leng Yaozhu’s death.

• A Spirit Pagoda official told Li Moxun and Gu Yue that the Tower Master wished to meet them personally.

• Shen Yi stood between Li Moxun and the Spirit Pagoda personnel, then let them take Li Moxun and Gu Yue for a routine examination.
• Qian Gu Dongfeng questioned the pair on the building’s top floor and used his power to examine them, injuring them but finding no abnormality.

• Li Moxun and Gu Yue exchanged glances and recognized that his White King spiritual power and her God King-level spiritual power had evaded detection.

After the Spirit Pagoda attacked Li Moxun and Gu Yue, Shrek Academy arranged for its students to leave Eastsea City and return to Shrek City. Li Moxun resolved to remember his grudge against Qian Gu Dongfeng as the group began the journey back.

• Shrek Academy finished examining the students, and Wu Zhangkong and Shen Yi discussed demanding an explanation from the Spirit Pagoda.
• Wu Zhangkong left to tend to the badly injured Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, while Li Moxun reflected that missing the doubles match had spared Tang Wulin and Gu Yue from greater harm.
• Gu Yue explained that Xiong Jun had left Tang Wulin by the roadside instead of delivering him back, and she and Li Moxun agreed they needed to leave Eastsea City.
• Li Moxun resolved to seek revenge on Qian Gu Dongfeng when he was strong enough, while Gu Yue continued recovering from her injuries.
• That evening, the Shrek Academy students boarded a bus for the high-speed rail station and began their return to Shrek City.

Li Moxun and Gu Yue arrived at Shrek Academy, where Dean Cai Yue'er questioned whether they qualified to enter the Youth Class. Li Moxun took offense at her manner and ignored her question, leaving their admission uncertain.

• Li Moxun and Gu Yue traveled to Shrek City and learned about Shrek Academy's influence and point-based system.
• At the academy entrance, Yu Tianlong praised Li Moxun and offered him a place in the second year if he failed to enter the Youth Class.
• Shen Yi brought Li Moxun and Gu Yue to meet Outer Court dean Cai Yue'er.
• Cai Yue'er said Li Moxun and Gu Yue lacked the talent to qualify for the Youth Class and challenged them to answer her.
• Li Moxun looked to Shen Yi instead of answering Cai Yue'er, who warned him that he could not join the Youth Class if he refused to respond.

Li Moxun confronted Cai Yue'er over her contemptuous treatment of him and Gu Yue, then followed her into the beast arena for their juvenile class entrance test. Gu Yue easily defeated a two-thousand-year soul beast, while Cai Yue'er set a six-thousand-year Flame Lion against Li Moxun, leaving his test about to begin.

• Li Moxun challenged Cai Yue'er for mocking their abilities and called the juvenile class members unimpressive, while Gu Yue stood beside him.
• Cai Yue'er acknowledged that Li Moxun and Gu Yue's exceptional talents made it impossible to reject them outright, then led the group onward.
• Li Moxun told Gu Yue he was not worried about Cai Yue'er making their entrance test harder, though Gu Yue feared they might still fail.
• Cai Yue'er set Gu Yue against a two-thousand-year soul beast, which Gu Yue defeated easily with elemental attacks.
• Cai Yue'er assigned Li Moxun a six-thousand-year Flame Lion, an opponent comparable to an ordinary five-ring Soul King, and Shen Yi frowned at the unfair test.

Li Moxun refused to yield to Cai Yue'er and defeated the six-thousand-year Flame Lion in the first test, though the fight drained much of his Soul Power. After Cai Yue'er ordered him to continue, Gu Yue defended him and declared that they could leave Shrek Academy rather than accept its elders' abuse of power.

• Shen Yi worried that Li Moxun's defiance of Cai Yue'er would cost him a place in the youth class.
• Li Moxun used his Titan Snow Demon King Martial Soul and Ultimate Ice to overpower and kill the Flame Lion.
• Cai Yue'er awarded Li Moxun ten points for passing the first test and ordered him to follow her after the second test.
• Gu Yue took Li Moxun's hand and condemned Shrek Academy's elders for using their authority to bully students.
• Gu Yue told Cai Yue'er that she and Li Moxun did not need to stay at Shrek Academy, and that other academies could value their talent.

Li Moxun revealed the White King Martial Soul to stand with Gu Yue, and the White King's Will badly damaged Cai Yue'er's psychic power. Ya Li restrained Cai Yue'er and called on Shen Yi to explain what had happened.

• After Cai Yue'er pressed them with her Super Douluo aura, Li Moxun chose to reveal the White King Martial Soul rather than let Gu Yue face the consequences alone.
• The White King's Will overwhelmed Cai Yue'er, devoured thousands of points of her psychic power, and forced Li Moxun to suppress it with Erii's help.
• Cai Yue'er recovered with Ya Li's aid and tried to attack Li Moxun, but Ya Li sealed her power and then knocked her unconscious.
• Ya Li signaled Shen Yi, who recounted everything that had happened.

Ya Li overruled Cai Yue'er and approved Li Moxun and Gu Yue's entry into the Youth Class, while warning them that Cai Yue'er might retaliate. Shen Yi explained the Youth Class's privileged path into the Inner Court and revealed that many students were admitted through family connections rather than exceptional talent.

• Ya Li judged Cai Yue'er responsible for mistreating the students, approved Li Moxun and Gu Yue for the Youth Class, and awarded them ten thousand points each.
• Li Moxun thanked Shen Yi for recounting the incident impartially, and Shen Yi warned that Cai Yue'er could still retaliate.
• Shen Yi led Li Moxun and Gu Yue toward the Inner Court and explained that Youth Class students could enter it after completing their three-year course and an assessment.
• Shen Yi revealed that the Youth Class gave Shrek Academy-connected families' children privileged access to resources and the Inner Court, even when their talent was ordinary.

Li Moxun and Gu Yue joined Shrek Academy’s Youth Class, where they met Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi. Li Moxun proposed working together to make Battle Armor, and Ye Xinglan said three years should be enough to complete three sets.

• Gu Yue questioned Shen Yi about the Youth Class’s unfair advantages, but Li Moxun stopped her before Shen Yi answered.
• Shen Yi brought Li Moxun and Gu Yue to the Youth Class residence, where they met Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi.
• Xu Lizhi welcomed the newcomers, and Li Moxun shook his hand, easing Ye Xinglan’s initial hostility.
• Li Moxun asked whether anyone could help make Battle Armor and said he was a level-five blacksmith while Gu Yue was a level-four designer.
• Ye Xinglan said she could design and make one-word Battle Armor and believed the group could complete three sets in three years.

Three years later, Li Moxun concealed his Soul Emperor cultivation while training with Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, and Gu Yue, then received most of his Two-Word Battle Armor from Xu Mier. His armor was nearly complete, though Cai Yue’er’s influence had made it difficult for anyone else in the Inner Court to help him.

• Ye Xinglan challenged Li Moxun, but his strength easily repelled her and left her impressed by his talent and abilities.
• Li Moxun privately reflected that he had already reached the Sixth Ring and had begun crafting his Two-Word Battle Armor.
• Li Moxun left the training room and went to meet Xu Mier, who told him his Two-Word Battle Armor was nearly finished.
• Xu Mier gave Li Moxun the armor, which was missing only the leg armor and one component for the left arm.
• Li Moxun thanked Xu Mier for helping him after Cai Yue’er’s influence had prevented other Inner Court students from taking his commission.

Li Moxun asked Xu Mier whether the Youth Class could enter the Inner Court, knowing Cai Yue'er might use the decision to target him. When Xu Mier learned Gu Yue would be sent to the Outer Court, Li Moxun chose to go there with her and the others, then resolved to prepare to kill Cai Yue'er.

• Xu Mier finished discussing the remaining mecha parts with Li Moxun, who gave her a points card with a little over eight thousand points.
• Li Moxun asked Xu Mier to find out whether the Youth Class could enter the Inner Court and warned that Cai Yue'er might retaliate against him.
• Xu Mier called Lan Muzi and learned that Li Moxun could enter the Inner Court, but Gu Yue was not strong enough and would have to return to the Outer Court.
• Li Moxun asked Lan Muzi not to stop Cai Yue'er and chose to go to the Outer Court with Gu Yue and the other two classmates.
• Li Moxun left Xu Mier and decided to prepare to kill Cai Yue'er before she could kill him.

Wu Zhangkong, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan arrived in Shrek City for the entrance examinations and reunited with Li Moxun, who showed them around before returning to the Youth Class. There, Li Moxun and Gu Yue discussed their plans to survive Cai Yue'er's escalating threats while waiting for the final examination.

• Wu Zhangkong and his group met Li Moxun at the Shrek City station, and Li Moxun greeted his former teacher and fellow students.
• Tang Wulin asked Li Moxun whether Gu Yue had come with him, and Li Moxun avoided explaining why she was absent.
• Li Moxun showed Wu Zhangkong and the others around Shrek City before returning to the Youth Class residence without attending the auction.
• Gu Yue asked Li Moxun whether Tang Wulin would enter Shrek Academy and how they would deal with Cai Yue'er.
• Li Moxun told Gu Yue to follow their plan and avoid acting before the final examination, then destroyed a mission letter and returned to his room.

Li Moxun planned to resolve the White King's Will and find a body for little Erii, deciding he needed dragon Soul Bones from the Dragon Valley Secret Realm and Cai Yue'er's spiritual power to get them. The chapter ended when Xu Mier informed him that the four of them would be sent to join the first grade as first-year students.

• Li Moxun summoned A-Tai and little Erii and said he would deal with the White King's Will once he reached Seven Rings.
• A-Tai asked whether Li Moxun had found a body for little Erii, and Li Moxun said she would need a complete set of Soul Bones, preferably dragon bones.
• Li Moxun planned to enter the Dragon Valley Secret Realm and take dragon Soul Bones, but knew Zang Xin would be stationed in the Star Luo Empire.
• Li Moxun chose Cai Yue'er as the target whose White King-tainted spiritual power he intended to devour.
• Gu Yue directed Li Moxun to the telephone, where Xu Mier told him that he and the other three would join the first grade as first-year students.

After Cai Yue'er targeted Li Moxun and Gu Yue, the group was transferred from the Inner Court to the Outer Court. Li Moxun collected his completed two-word Battle Armor and gained a measure of protection through Zhuo Shi’s position as dean.

• Xu Mier warned Li Moxun that Cai Yue'er was targeting him and told him to collect his Battle Armor when it was ready.
• Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi accepted that they would be sent to the Outer Court, and the group prepared to move.
• Li Moxun reflected that White King's Will could make his death catastrophic, so he was not afraid of Cai Yue'er’s threat.
• The four were escorted to the Outer Court and assigned dormitories, with Xu Lizhi sharing with Li Moxun and Ye Xinglan sharing with Gu Yue.
• Li Moxun collected his completed two-word Battle Armor from Xu Mier.
• Shen Yi invited the group to dine with Zhuo Shi, whose neutrality as dean could offer Li Moxun some protection.
