After Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer was shattered, Flender and the others judged that Ye Qingcang had acted in self-defense, while Yu Xiaogang arrived to confront him. Liu Erlong called Ye Qingcang “Little Eagle,” and Xiao Wu realized the nickname connected him to her as Little Rabbit.

• Yu Xiaogang demanded that Ye Qingcang apologize for injuring Tang San, while Flender defended Ye Qingcang and blamed Yu Xiaogang for bringing trouble to Liu Erlong.

• Ye Qingcang played a recording of Yu Xiaogang’s concerns and admitted that he had deliberately set a trap to reveal people’s true intentions.
• Ye Qingcang said he had acted as a son should, while the recording left Yu Xiaogang’s reputation and relationships damaged.

• Dugu Bo emerged with nine soul rings, and the Shrek group realized he had followed Xiao Wu because he knew she was a 100,000-year transformed spirit beast.
• Tang San tried to reassure Xiao Wu, while Ning Rongrong invited her to stand behind her and said Dugu Bo would not dare harm her.

• Ye Qingcang told Dugu Bo he could be beaten, blasted with the Tier 9 Soul Tool, or submit and become his subordinate.

Ye Qingcang defeated Dugu Bo with a single strike, then confronted Flender and set three conditions for the Shrek group to remain at Blue Tyrant Academy. Flender had to decide whether to accept the restrictions and guarantee that the four back-door entrants obeyed the academy rules.

• Dugu Bo challenged Ye Qingcang’s claims, but Ye explained Stellar Martial Arts and said his strength could defeat a Titled Douluo without using his domain.
• When Dugu Bo attacked, Ye dislocated nearly every bone in his body with a single shake, leaving him helpless on the ground.

Flender agreed to Ye Qingcang’s three conditions, then confronted Yu Xiaogang over why he had pushed the Shrek group into Blue Tyrant Academy and tried to use Liu Erlong to pressure Ye Qingcang. The argument exposed their conflicting motives, and Ning Rongrong openly sided with Ye Qingcang and threatened to call him to confront Yu Xiaogang.

• Flender accepted Ye Qingcang’s three conditions on behalf of Shrek Academy, while Ye Qingcang left the grounds with Violet and captured Dugu Bo.
• After settling into Blue Tyrant Academy, Flender met Yu Xiaogang and the others for dinner outside the academy.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned Flender for accepting the conditions, and Flender accused him of bringing the group to Blue Tyrant Academy for his own sake and using Liu Erlong as a shield.

Ye Qingcang explained to Violet why he would not destroy the Shrek Seven Devils, despite monitoring their conversation, and described how he had created her and regretted treating life as something he could make for his own use. He revised his plan involving Liu Erlong and sent Violet to deliver her a Jade Seal Machine, leaving him alone with his documents.

• Violet asked Ye Qingcang why he let people scheme against him instead of using extreme measures to eliminate them.
• Ye Qingcang told Violet he had created her recklessly and now respected her independence, while Violet insisted she was his Violet alone.

Liu Erlong struggled with the conflict between Yu Xiaogang and Ye Qingcang before Violet delivered Ye Qingcang’s Jade Seal Machine and recording. After hearing it, Liu Erlong caused a huge explosion at the villa district while Ye Qingcang continued interrogating Dugu Bo about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Liu Erlong blamed herself for hurting Ye Qingcang and questioned whether Yu Xiaogang had changed or she had misunderstood him from the start.

• Ye Qingcang and Violet prepared the participants, and Ye Qingcang ordered students without suitable Flying Soul Tools to collect standard-issue ones.
• Ye Qingcang announced the fifty-two-person expedition's route and expected duration, then led the group into the sky toward Star Dou Great Forest.

Liu Erlong’s group reached a town near the Star Dou Mountain Range, where Tang San’s attempt to get closer to Xiao Wu failed and Dai Mubai approached Ye Qingcang with a bargain. Ye Qingcang accepted Dai Mubai’s offer and gave Violet a lesson about judging people by what they gain.

• Liu Erlong explained Blue Tyrant Academy’s covert purchasing network and ordered the group to rest before entering the Star Dou Great Forest the next day.
