Rather than flee, Lu Xingshi planned to capture the arriving kings alive for his experiments, while Yi prepared to eliminate the tribe on Kui's behalf.

• Lu Xingshi complained that Wo's latest trouble involved injuring the Bronze Shaman King's son and saving Qing Ling, who formed a blood pact with Wo.

• Kui demanded revenge against Lu Xingshi and the Bronze Tree Tribe, and Yi told him the Bronze Shaman King would support him this one time.
• Yi considered how to destroy the tribe and leave no survivors so the Royal Court's governance would not be affected.

Kui and Yi attacked the Bronze Tree Tribe, seeking revenge on Wo and claiming he had stolen Kui’s Blood Pact Ferocious Beast. Hui and Wo drove them back with Totem Spells, while Lu Xingshi stayed out of the fight; the tribe expected him to handle any further threat.

• Kui ordered Yi to kill everyone in the Bronze Tree Tribe and capture Wo for torture.
• Wo fled into the tribe’s territory and used Earth Spirit Kill against Kui, forcing Yi to turn back and shield him.
• Hui intervened when Yi attacked, and the two shamans used Totem Spells to keep Yi occupied as he protected Kui.
• Hui challenged Yi’s claim to be a Royal Court Envoy and demanded evidence, but Yi attacked again and then retreated with Kui.
• Wo worried that Yi and Kui would return to harm the tribe, but Hui said Lu Xingshi had stayed back so they could practice against a Nine-Mark Totem Warrior.

Lu Xingshi seized Kui after Yi left, overpowered Kui’s Totem Spell, and dragged him toward his laboratory to use him in experiments. The Bronze Shaman King sensed Kui was in trouble and began trying to identify and rescue him.

• The Bronze Shaman King decided Kui was probably still alive and set out to discover who had acted against him.

Jiu came to the Bronze Tree Tribe to investigate Kui, but Hui and Wo denied knowing where he was and revealed that the Azure Sky Dragon King was approaching. After Jiu left, Wo went to Lu Xingshi’s hidden laboratory, where Lu angrily accused someone of leading a follower to their base.

• Hui denied that Kui was in the Bronze Tree Tribe and let Jiu search for herself.
• Wo repeated the denial, then told Jiu that Lu Xingshi had gone mad and could not be found.
• Jiu noticed Wo’s Azure Sky Dragon and learned it was the Azure Sky Dragon King’s child, whose father was already heading for the Bronze Territory.
• Wo accused the Royal Court of wanting to take Kui away without protecting the tribe, and Jiu left, resolving to report the danger to the Shaman King.
• Wo delivered his homework to Hui and went to Lu Xingshi’s hidden laboratory, where Lu cursed someone for bringing a follower there.

Lu Xingshi killed Jiu after she discovered that Kui had been turned into living specimens, leaving Wo to face the consequences of the Royal Court Envoy’s death. Lu Xingshi then studied Kui’s inherited bloodline and considered how to use Grand Shaman descendants and a Blood Pact to advance his research.

• Jiu followed Wo to Lu Xingshi’s underground facility and recognized the living body parts in jars as the Kui she had been searching for.

He also negotiated with the Snake Spirit Shaman King to delay his promised visit until after he handled the trouble in his Territory.

When Qing Ling sensed the dragon in the clouds, Hui and Wo realized the tribe faced the Azure Sky Dragon King, but they decided to wait because it appeared to be searching for Kui.

• The Azure Sky Dragon King considered using the person impersonating Kui as bait to buy time to escape the Bronze Territory.
• Qing Ling sensed something in the clouds and alerted Wo, who brought the warning to Hui.
• Hui guessed that the creature overhead was the Azure Sky Dragon King, and Qing Ling confirmed that her father had come for her.
• Wo asked whether they should warn Lu Xingshi, but Hui argued that doing so could expose Lu and rejected the idea.
• Hui concluded that the Azure Sky Dragon King was waiting because it had not found Kui, so he and Wo chose to stall and observe.

Lu Xingshi finished studying Kui and discovered that the Azure Sky Dragon King was watching the Bronze Tree Tribe. He ordered Wo to sacrifice Kui to lure the dragon down, then prepared to fight it.

• Lu Xingshi concluded that his Bronze Bloodline had Grand Shaman-level potential, while his incomplete, artificial totem still needed research before he could fully wield it.
• Lu Xingshi considered cloning Kui to strengthen the Bronze Tree Totem, then left the laboratory with Kui’s remaining flesh and sensed someone watching from the sky.

• Wo performed the sacrifice and named Kui as a Shaman King Descendant, prompting the Azure Sky Dragon King to attack before Kui could be sacrificed.

Lu Xingshi’s Blood Pact experiments revealed that a dragon’s Dragon Pearl was the key to binding it, while the rotting Azure Sky Dragon King threatened the Bronze Tree Tribe with sickness and crop damage. Lu agreed to expand his laboratory into temporary housing for the tribespeople, as the Bronze Shaman King prepared to fight the Eagle Shadow Royal Court before investigating the Dragon King and Kui.

• Lu Xingshi learned that Wo’s Blood Pact with the Azure Sky Dragon King was anchored to the Dragon Pearl, while most of the Dragon King’s body had rotted away during the experiments.

Meanwhile, the Radiance Shaman King revealed that Yue and Xu were meant to help him fuse the Bronze and Radiance bloodlines, leaving Yue trapped in a plan that would sacrifice his family.

• Wo reported that Kui’s cloned sacrifices worked but became ineffective with repeated use, and Lu Xingshi concluded that a Great Shaman Corpse would be needed to advance the Bronze Tree Totem.
• Lu Xingshi sent Wo to mass-produce Kui clones in the Underground Base and promised to cover the substantial food costs.
• The Radiance Shaman King explained to Yue how the Bronze and Radiance bloodlines could complement each other and admitted that he had changed Yue’s bloodline for his plan.
• Yue realized the Radiance Shaman King had treated him as a sacrifice and intended to use him and Xu as vessels for the bloodline fusion.
• The Radiance Shaman King said Yue and Xu would die for the plan and promised that Chuan would join them afterward.

Lu Xingshi finished experimenting with the Blood Pact Totem Spell and absorbed the Azure Sky Dragon King's Dragon Pearl, then learned that Wo's long-lost parents had returned with complicated ties to Shaman Kings. He agreed to meet them, while Wo arrived and found Lu Xingshi and Hui joking about marrying him off to a female Shaman King.

• Lu Xingshi linked his totem and bloodline with the Blood Pact Totem Spell, then fed the Azure Sky Dragon King's Dragon Pearl to his Bloodline Armor and rejected the dragon traits that emerged.

Lu Xingshi welcomed Huan and Mei back to the Tribe and learned that three Royal Courts were pursuing them because Mei carried the Fierce Wind Shaman King's corpse. As Mei handed over the corpse for Lu Xingshi's research, Lu suspected the Radiance Shaman King was behind the bloodline conflict affecting Yue's family.

• Lu Xingshi welcomed Huan and Mei and learned that the Bronze Shaman King was occupied in a battle at the Snake Spirit Royal Court.
• Huan revealed that the Black Flame, Cold River, and Giant Rock Royal Courts had destroyed the Fierce Wind Royal Court and were hunting him and Mei.
• Mei disclosed that she had taken her father's intact corpse, and Lu Xingshi asked to study it so he could confront the Shaman Kings threatening them.
• Wo explained that Yue's child had suffered a conflict between the Bronze and Radiance bloodlines, prompting Lu Xingshi to suspect the Radiance Shaman King had altered Yue's bloodline for his own purposes.
• Mei took the Fierce Wind Shaman King's corpse from her Storage Treasure and handed it over for Lu Xingshi's research.

Lu Xingshi theorized that the Wild World’s rules were being destroyed by Royal Court Wars and that he might inherit the world by becoming a rule himself. He examined Mei’s unborn child, discovered a mature transmigrated consciousness awakening inside it, and proposed a way to preserve the child’s own consciousness as the dominant one.

• Lu Xingshi reasoned that Shaman Kings and totems embodied the world’s rules, which Royal Court Wars were driving toward extinction.
• Lu Xingshi considered replacing the Bronze Tree Totem and inheriting the world, while Wo visited him to ask about the research.
• Wo told Lu Xingshi that something strange was happening to the child in Mei’s womb, and Lu Xingshi went to examine it.

• Mei agreed to Lu Xingshi’s plan to seal the mature consciousness during birth and let the child’s own consciousness assimilate it before the seal was lifted at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
• Lu Xingshi said the child had the bearing of a Shaman King, and Hui was delighted by the family’s prospects.
