• Dugu Bo confirmed that his Soul-Sealing Poison remained potent, and Su Ge promised him an Immortal Herb and help with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison problem if he performed well.
• Dugu Bo left to study Su Ge’s Self-Created Soul Skill ideas, while privately acknowledging Su Ge’s power and methods.

• Su Ge decided to expose Tang San’s identity during the Soul Master Tournament and use Spirit Hall to lure Tang Hao and the others into a trap.

Meanwhile, Liu Erlong concealed the truth from academy officials, then told the Shrek group that Su Ge had arranged for a Titled Douluo to sever her arm and poison her.

Yu Xiaogang resolved to seek help for Liu Erlong after learning that Dugu Bo had destroyed her arm and poisoned her. Meanwhile, Ye Tianxin visited Su Ge with Ye Lingling, hoping he could find a way to break the Nine-Heart Begonia's succession tradition and curse.

• Yu Xiaogang identified Dugu Bo as the Titled Douluo who had protected Su Ge and destroyed Liu Erlong's arm, while Flender warned against confronting him or jeopardizing the Soul Master Tournament.
• Yu Xiaogang decided to seek help from the Ye Clan's other Nine-Heart Begonia owner to heal Liu Erlong, unaware that Ye Tianxin was already at the academy.
• Ye Tianxin explained to Su Ge that the Nine-Heart Begonia could have only two owners at once and that the older owner had to die before the next generation awakened its Martial Soul.
• Ye Tianxin revealed that Ye Lingling's father had sacrificed himself so she could inherit the Nine-Heart Begonia, leaving Lingling withdrawn and haunted by the tradition.
• After learning that Su Ge had helped reveal the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ye Tianxin asked him to help find a way to overcome the Nine-Heart Begonia's flaw.

Ye Tianxin offered the Ye Clan’s support in exchange for Su Ge trying to lift Ye Lingling’s Martial Soul curse, and he gave Su Ge the clan’s medical texts. As Su Ge examined the chests that held the texts, he noticed the last one was far lighter than the others.

• Su Ge asked Ye Tianxin why he should help, and Ye Tianxin offered the Ye Clan’s steadfast support in exchange for a chance to break Ye Lingling’s curse.
• Su Ge accepted the offer but said he could only try, and asked Ye Tianxin to bring Ye Lingling back after the friendship match.

• Su Ge observed Tang San’s resentment and speculated that his Blue Silver Grass had gained resistance to lightning through another opportunity.

The Five Element Academies challenged Su Ge, drawing attention from the empire’s powerful figures, who weighed his extraordinary talent against the rival teams. After returning to cultivate, Su Ge continued pursuing a breakthrough while Deng Jilin researched the Soul Core hypothesis with Dugu Bo.

• Blazing Fire Academy, Godwind Academy, and Skywater Academy challenged Su Ge, while Elephant Armor Academy had yet to arrive and Thunderclap Academy awaited Yu Tianheng.

Su Ge faced the Blazing Fire Team and endured their opening assault without using a Soul Skill, then overwhelmed Huo Wushuang and two Fire Crane Soul Masters with his physical strength. As Huo Wu continued charging a powerful attack, Su Ge turned toward her and prepared to end the match.

• Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu exchanged words with Su Ge before the referee started the match.
• The Blazing Fire Team’s support Soul Masters boosted their teammates while Huo Wushuang and the two Fire Crane Soul Masters attacked Su Ge from three directions.

Su Ge defeated the Blazing Fire Team single-handedly, forcing Huo Wu and the remaining members to surrender before he left with the Imperial Fighting Team.

• A teacher caught Feng Xiaotian, who remained conscious but was stunned that Su Ge had defeated him in a single move.

Su Ge defeated Feng Xiaotian, prompting Feng Xiaotian to reconsider his path and Shui Bing'er to recognize the gulf between their strength. As other academy representatives praised Su Ge and Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the tournament continued.

• Su Ge told Feng Xiaotian to think carefully about his future, and Feng vowed to become strong enough to face him again.
• The Imperial Dou Team won its match, while Shui Bing'er watched Su Ge's decisive fight and realized his judgment and experience made him a true powerhouse.
• Shui Bing'er left, believing the tournament was her best chance to challenge Su Ge while their gap was smallest.

• Meng Shenji considered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ties to several academies, then heard representatives praise Su Ge and Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill against Su Ge, but he endured the Falling Snow Ice Phoenix and defeated it with one claw. The Imperial Dou Team won, and Su Ge left Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu in the care of their teammates after reassuring them.

• Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu began the match by using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, while the rest of the Skywater Team supported them.
• Su Ge sent the Imperial Dou Team off the platform and stood alone against the storm created by the Falling Snow Ice Phoenix.

With Da Ming and Er Ming helping him search, he developed a plan that might let him raise the ages of his existing Soul Rings as well as obtain a powerful sixth ring.

• Xiao Wu teased Su Ge after his arena victory, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing watched him with concealed uncertainty and concern.
• Su Ge left the academy and flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his sixth Soul Ring, prioritizing a spatial-type Soul Beast and considering the Golden Tortoiseshell or the three Qianjun Ant Emperors as alternatives.
• Su Ge reasoned that Da Ming and Er Ming could help him find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and considered the possibility of encountering powerful ferocious beasts such as Di Tian and Xiong Jun.
• Su Ge found Da Ming and Er Ming and persuaded them to help search, with Da Ming agreeing in part because Su Ge could protect Xiao Wu in the future.
• After more than twenty days without finding a spatial-type Soul Beast or the Golden Tortoiseshell, Su Ge studied Soul Ring absorption and formed a plan that could raise the ages of his previous rings.

Su Ge abandoned his search for his original target Soul Beast and decided to obtain his sixth Soul Ring by targeting the three Qianjun Ant Emperors. After Da Ming warned him to guard against becoming enslaved by power, Su Ge reaffirmed his resolve to grow stronger without losing himself, then found the Ant Emperors waiting to prey on two battling Qianjun Ant colonies.

• Su Ge admitted he had failed to find his target Soul Beast, but he had located the territory of the three Qianjun Ant Emperors and set out to obtain his sixth Soul Ring.
• Su Ge explained his plan to Da Ming and Er Ming, and Da Ming said devouring could support it but warned him not to let power control him.

• Su Ge explained that the three Qianjun Ant Emperors had grown powerful by devouring Ant Queens, then prepared to attack as the battle shifted.
• Su Ge charged the first Qianjun Ant Emperor, overwhelmed it, and broke its legs until it could no longer resist or flee.

• Er Ming watched the other two Emperors’ life auras fade without Soul Rings appearing and wondered whether Su Ge had succeeded.

• Su Ge devoured the energy of the three Qianjun Ant Emperors as his sixth Soul Ring turned crimson and gained two golden patterns.
