Shi An challenged Yu Xiaogang to a debate over Martial Soul theory, exposing contradictions in Yu Xiaogang’s claims. Yu Xiaogang mistook Shi An for Tang Hao and believed he had been promised freedom, while Shi An opened a passage in the earth.

• Shi An offered to let Yu Xiaogang go if Yu Xiaogang could convince him in a debate about theoretical knowledge.
• Yu Xiaogang defended his Ten Core Competencies, but Shi An mocked his claim that there were no useless Martial Souls and challenged his rule about matching Martial Souls with Soul Rings.

• Shi An pretended to be Tang Hao, told Yu Xiaogang to find Tang Yin on the Star Luo Royal Team, and then used earth manipulation to open a passage.

Yu Xiaogang escaped his confinement only to arrive at the Star Luo Royal Academy hotel covered in filth, where he finally reunited with Tang San. The reunion ended with Tang San retching in disgust after accidentally swallowing a piece of the filth.

• Tang San kicked Yu Xiaogang away as the stench drove Zhu Zhuyun, Dai Weisi, and the others from the room.

Tang San reunited with the battered Yu Xiaogang and pretended to care while suppressing his desire to kill him, hoping to learn how to advance his Blue Silver Grass. Yu Xiaogang blamed an unknown group for taking a supposed cultivation treasure, while Shi An observed that Yu Xiaogang could not deliver on his promise because the Blue Silver Forest had been destroyed.

• Tang San kicked Yu Xiaogang, then recognized him and concealed his anger by pretending to be concerned.
• Yu Xiaogang claimed that masked people had tortured him and taken a treasure he had sought for Tang San in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• The next morning, Shi An greeted Yu Tianheng, who remained jealous and uncomfortable about his relationship with Dugu Yan.
• On the day of the tournament final, Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu that she and Shi An had gone all the way.
• Qian Daoliu asked to meet Shi An and pretended he would only judge whether he met his standards, while privately wanting to beat him.

Bibi Dong revealed three Soul Bones as the tournament’s championship reward and announced the finals’ rules. Shi An opened the three-team individual arena match against Shui Bing'er, quickly overwhelming her with earth-based attacks.

• Bibi Dong presented a 50,000-Year Spirit-Concentrating Wisdom Skull, a 20,000-Year Explosive Incineration Flame Right Arm Bone, and a 30,000-Year Swift Advance Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone as the rewards.
• The referee explained the three-match finals format and ordered the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team and Skywater Academy Team to send out their first fighters.

• Shi An summoned a gigantic earthen snake with Puppet Snake, startling Shui Bing'er as its tail swung toward her.

Shi An defeated Shui Bing'er, knocked Yan out of the arena after Yan provoked him, and let Shui Yue'er concede after she greeted him like a fan. He then began fighting Spirit Hall captain Xie Yue, whose speed Shi An curtailed with stone armor before launching a storm of stone swords at him.

• Shui Bing'er used her Fourth Soul Skill to slow the Puppet Snake and stone hand, but conceded when she found Shi An standing close enough to defeat her.
• Yan challenged Shi An and pointed at him, so Shi An struck him with a powerful punch that sent him through the arena wall and out of the match.

• Xie Yue took the stage and attacked with spinning curved blades while Shi An sent diamond-shaped rocks after him.
• Shi An's rocks covered Xie Yue in heavy stone that slowed him down, and Shi An knocked away his curved blade before filling the sky with stone swords aimed at him.
