Jiang Bai used the core disciple selection match to connect Huo Yuhao and his allies through Spirit Sharing, while secretly giving Ning Tian access to their battlefield vision and support.

• Jiang Bai told Su Tong she had the potential to reach Level 99, leaving her shocked.

• Jiang Bai asked Su Tong to cultivate properly and offered to help her reach Soul Saint if she swore to follow him for ten years afterward.

• Su Tong absorbed both Soul Bones in four hours, gaining one rank and easing the suppression of her Ultimate Ice cultivation; Jiang Bai also gave her a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone for the Su Clan.
• Jiang Bai showed Su Tong his face, then returned her to the Su Clan and escaped the Soul Kings who had followed him.
• Jiang Bai headed toward Star Luo, hoping to meet Huo Yuhao and the others on their journey, and wondered what would happen to the Death's Emissary and whether Xuan Zi would perform well.

Jiang Bai arrived in Star Luo City and used Ning Tian’s VIP card to secure a luxurious room at the Nine Treasure Hotel, hoping she would find him and bring him onto the reserve team. Meanwhile, Shrek’s reserve team reached the city after a disastrous mission, and Huo Yuhao brooded over the dark-red divine power revealed in his sea of consciousness.

• Jiang Bai greeted the three, and Huo Yuhao asked Wang Yan whether Jiang Bai could join their reserve team.

Jiang Bai joined Shrek Academy’s reserve team after Xuan Zi approved Wang Yan’s request, while Huo Yuhao learned Dai Yueheng had died from injuries sustained in an evil soul master ambush. The chapter revealed Huo Yuhao had chosen not to save Dai Yueheng after the ambush, leaving his revenge against the Dai family unresolved.

• Wang Yan asked Xuan Zi for permission to add Jiang Bai to the reserve team, and Xuan Zi approved.
• Jiang Bai met the injured main team members and learned that Gongyang Mo had returned to the academy and Dai Yueheng had died.
• Xiao Xiao explained that the teams had been ambushed by evil soul masters during a mission, and Huo Yuhao remembered Dai Hao grieving over Dai Yueheng’s corpse.

• The evil soul masters detonated corpses, severely injuring several main team members, including Dai Yueheng.
• Huo Yuhao recalled Dai Yueheng’s earlier intent to kill him and decided not to save him.

Huo Yuhao’s group returned from a mission in which Dai Yueheng died in an explosion, and Jiang Bai suspected Huo Yuhao had secretly helped cause it. After the team registered for the competition, Bei Bei revealed that he had stabilized his bloodline and planned to use his awakening, while Xu Sanshi agreed to risk everything alongside him.

• Mu En sensed Tang Ya departing Shrek Academy and recognized a repulsive power emerging from her body.
• Tang Ya looked back at Shrek City, resolved to restore the Tang Sect, and turned when Mu En asked her to keep him company.
• The Star Luo Emperor opened the tournament, and the crowd cheered for Shrek Academy as Huo Yuhao led the reserve team into its first match.

• Xu Sanshi defeated six opponents in a row, but Jiang Nannan turned away from his triumphant grin.

Wang Yan brought the reserve team to a Star Luo auction house and urged them to consider Soul Tools, reflecting on their importance as Soul Beasts dwindled. Wang Dong rejected the idea and left, while the others entered the auction, where Ning Tian offered to help Jiang Bai buy anything he wanted.

• Wang Yan explained that Soul Tools were becoming important in the tournament and hoped the reserve team would accept them.
• Tian Meng, Ice Empress, and Electrolux discussed the grim future of Soul Beasts and the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts, while Huo Yuhao considered how much the Soul Beasts had helped him.

• Xu Sanshi asked Huo Yuhao to explain Soul Tools, and Huo Yuhao agreed to do his best.
• Ning Tian used her connections to get the group into Star Luo's largest auction house and offered to help Jiang Bai afford anything he wanted, but Jiang Bai had no intention of buying the one item he considered.

Huo Yuhao bought the Devouring Spirit Carving Knife after Electrolux recognized the Life Gold within it. Back in his room, Electrolux hid his actions from Wang Yan and purified the knife, leaving its power weakened and its body azure.

• At the auction, Huo Yuhao bid one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for the Devouring Spirit Carving Knife after Electrolux urged him to buy it.

• Electrolux sealed the Life Blade’s aura, and Huo Yuhao told Wang Yan that his spiritual power had dispelled the knife’s curse.

• Shrek defeated Thousand Spirits Academy through coordinated teamwork without revealing Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi’s hidden strength.
• Wang Yan worried that Shrek would struggle against Righteous Heaven Academy’s three Soul Kings.

Shrek Academy faced Righteous Heaven Academy in a two-two-three match and fought to preserve its strength despite the odds. After winning the first round, Jiang Bai and Xiao Xiao entered the second round, where Xiao Xiao planned to use her one chance to attack the opposing Soul King.

• Wang Yan considered surrendering, but Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others insisted that Shrek fight, so Wang Yan agreed.
• Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan defeated Righteous Heaven Academy's Soul King Yu Mengdi and a Soul Ancestor in the first round after Xu Sanshi completed Black Tortoise Awakening.

• Jiang Bai and Xiao Xiao took the stage against the Soul King Tang Xiaolei and the Soul Ancestor Blood Wolf, revealing that Xiao Xiao was only a three-ring Soul Elder.
• Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen thought Jiang Bai looked familiar as Blood Wolf activated Martial Soul Possession and Tang Xiaolei summoned his bow.

Jiang Bai and Xiao Xiao used mist clones to disrupt Tang Xiaolei and Blood Wolf, then launched a coordinated attack that badly wounded Tang Xiaolei and suppressed him. Xiao Xiao was thrown out of the arena after holding the Soul-Calming Cauldron's suppression for ten seconds.

• Jiang Bai filled the arena with mist and clones, while he and Xiao Xiao used the confusion to evade Tang Xiaolei and Blood Wolf.

• The referee declared Shrek the winner, and the Shrek group celebrated as Jiang Bai and Xiao Xiao returned unharmed.
• Xiao Xiao praised Jiang Bai, and the two had enough energy left to go shopping.

Shrek won all seven round-robin matches and attended an auction where Huo Yuhao obtained the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. When the Snow Empress’s embryo was auctioned, the Ice God’s trial tasked Huo Yuhao with rescuing her, while Xiao Hongchen ultimately bought the embryo as part of Xu Jiawei’s scheme against the Sun Moon Empire.

Electrolux and Huo Yuhao prepared to steal the Snow Empress’s embryo, using the Ice Empress as Electrolux’s Martial Soul to boost their strength. They teleported to the guarded Sun Moon Academy, where Electrolux fought the gathered Titled Douluo while Huo Yuhao waited to recover his teleportation ability.

• Electrolux proposed forming a body with divine power and using the Ice Empress as his Martial Soul, bringing their strength close to Rank 97.

• Electrolux froze Cheng Gang in black ice and summoned Bone Dragons as the gathered fighters prepared to attack.
• Xuan Zi transformed with Martial Soul Possession and charged at Electrolux.

Xuan Zi attacked Electrolux in Star Luo City, but Electrolux defeated him and escaped after the battle threatened the people below. Huo Yuhao and his companions returned safely with the Snow Empress Embryo, while Tang San learned of the Ice God's weakened Divine Position and planned to seize it.

• Xuan Zi charged Electrolux, and the Ice Empress used the Ice Burst Technique to hurl the ice trapping Cheng Gang at him as other experts shielded the students from the battle's aftershocks.
