After the Heavenly Screen revealed Tang San's future fifth ring, Tang San planned to follow the same path, while Spirit Hall's experts resolved to prevent him from obtaining the opportunity.

• Tang Chuan learned that the second-in-command's Black Boss was a four-ring Soul Ancestor, then revealed that he had already defeated and captured the man.

After learning that a second Tang San had emerged in this world, Tang Chuan realized the original story might still be shaping events and that another hundred-thousand-year soul beast could join Tang San.

• Tang Chuan explained that soul beasts could seek godhood by becoming intelligent spirit rings or by taking human form and inheriting a god’s legacy, then returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• After hearing that Yu Xiaogang had taken a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master as his disciple, Tang Chuan asked Spirit Hall to gather information about them.
• Tang Chuan learned that the disciple was called Tang San and shared the original Tang San’s unusual talents, teacher, and companion, leading him to suspect that fate was restoring the story and might bring another hundred-thousand-year soul beast to Tang San’s side.

• Xiao Wu instantly killed an Ice Leopard that had ambushed the group, and Tang Chuan noticed it had already been wounded by another team.
• Ning Rongrong warned that taking another team's Soul Beast could provoke a fight, while Xiao Wu reassured her that Tang Chuan and Lan Yin could protect them.

• Skywater Academy vice dean Shen Huaiqing respectfully asked Lan Yin to let Shui Bing'er have the Ice Leopard in exchange for compensation.
• Tang Chuan recognized Shui Bing'er and challenged her to restrain him for ten seconds to win the Ice Leopard; she accepted after her teachers agreed.

• Shui Bing'er revealed her level-thirty-two Condensed Water Flying Luan and spread a freezing mist across the arena.
• Tang Chuan announced that he was eleven years old, level thirty-seven, and a Blue Silver Grass soul master, shocking the Skywater Academy students.
• Shui Bing'er used her Resisting Ice Ring and ice skates to evade Tang Chuan's vines, but the prolonged fight drained her Soul Power.

• Watching beneath the Heavenly Screen, Shui Bing'er accepted her defeat and lamented that her martial soul could not evolve.

• Shui Bing'er envied her parallel-world counterpart, and Shui Yue'er and the Skywater Academy girls joked about marrying Tang Chuan for his generosity and Immortal Herbs.
• Shui Bing'er woke as the Skywater Academy group carried her out of the forest, and the girls told her Tang Chuan had let them take the soul beast and carried her to safety.
• A distant roar and explosion alarmed the Skywater Academy teachers, who suspected the Titan Giant Ape and hurried toward the forest's edge.
• Shui Bing'er recognized that the noise came from the direction Tang Chuan had gone, but the vice dean reassured her that he likely had a powerful protector.
