Huo Yuhao killed the powerless elder and escaped Heaven Dou City, setting off for the Ming Dou Mountain Range to meet his biological father.

As Wang Yan discussed an Evil Soul Master mission with Dai Hao, Huo Yuhao privately reflected on meeting his biological father for the first time.

• Wang Dong clenched her fists as Huo Yuhao calmly accepted Ju Zi's introduction.

Huo Yuhao recalled buying the cursed Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, which he recognized as Life Gold, as Shrek advanced to the semifinals. At the second Starlight Auction, the expected Snow Empress embryo was replaced by a two-hundred-thousand-year Secret Art Soul Bone.

• Shrek Academy crushed its way into the semifinals alongside Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Star Luo Imperial Academy, and Minghuang Advanced Academy.
• Minghuang Advanced Academy eliminated Heavenly Soul Imperial Academy with powerful Soul Masters, healing, and extensive Soul Tool tactics.
• Huo Yuhao remembered purchasing the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife for one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins and identifying it as Life Gold.
• Huo Yuhao attended the second top-tier Starlight Auction, expecting a grand finale changed by Snow Empress's altered fate.
• Princess Jiujiu unveiled the auction's finale: a two-hundred-thousand-year Secret Art Soul Bone.

Princess Jiujiu revealed that the auctioned Secret Art Soul Bone was said to contain a Super Douluo’s inheritance and offer a chance to gain the Chongming Bird Martial Soul. Wang Yan explained that it was a genuine hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone infused with a dying Super Douluo’s power, and that such inheritance bones formed a sect’s complete Soul Bone Set.

• Princess Jiujiu announced that the Starlight Auction’s two-hundred-thousand-year Secret Art Soul Bone could grant its inheritor the Chongming Bird Martial Soul and a chance at Acquired Twin Martial Souls.
• Wang Dong and Xu Sanshi reacted excitedly to the prospect, while Huo Yuhao doubted that a Soul Bone could grant someone a second Martial Soul.
• Wang Yan warned the Shrek group not to trust the auction’s sales pitch and clarified that the bone was not an ordinary artificial Secret Art Soul Bone.
• Wang Yan explained that the bone began as a genuine hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone, which a dying Super Douluo filled with his Martial Soul, Soul Power, vitality, and spiritual origins.
• Wang Yan said these inheritance-grade Soul Bones were usually a complete set passed down through a sect, while crude artificial versions were inferior imitations.

Wang Yan explained that the two-hundred-thousand-year Secret Art Soul Bone could possess its absorber, then revealed Shrek Academy’s far more powerful inherited set. Huo Yuhao recognized the danger surrounding Mu En’s legacy as the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy bought the auctioned bone, unaware it was a trap.

• Wang Yan warned that a failed Secret Art Soul Bone refinement could leave a Super Douluo’s spiritual will inside the bone, where it could assimilate an unsuspecting absorber.
• Huo Yuhao asked whether Shrek Academy possessed such a treasure, and Wang Yan revealed that the Sea God Pavilion inherited a complete set of Soul Bones, each at least four hundred thousand years old and potentially capable of reaching godly power.
• Huo Yuhao realized that Mu En’s failing condition could endanger Shrek’s accumulated inheritance if he could not preserve the Soul Bones after his death.
• At the auction, native factions drove the Secret Art Soul Bone’s price up while targeting the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, which did not know the possession secret.
• The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy won the bone for one hundred and seventy million Gold Soul Coins, and Xiao Hongchen and the others celebrated their supposed bargain.

After the auction, Ju Zi gave Huo Yuhao the Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm Bone, hoping he could use its Ice Blast skill despite already having a left arm Soul Bone. Ling Luochеn then asked to buy it so she could use it to break through to Extreme Ice, but Huo Yuhao knew the attempt would most likely kill her.

• Ju Zi gave Huo Yuhao the sixty-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm Bone, explaining that his Extreme Ice could bring out its power.
• Huo Yuhao examined the Soul Bone in his suite while the Ice Empress urged him to find a way to absorb its Ice Blast skill.
• Ling Luochеn visited Huo Yuhao, saw the Soul Bone, and asked to buy it.
• Ling Luochеn revealed that she wanted to use the Soul Bone to break through her bottleneck and obtain Extreme Ice.
• Huo Yuhao judged that Ling Luochеn's chance of surviving the attempt was extremely low.

Huo Yuhao refused to sell Ling Luochеn the Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm Bone after she offered only two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins and promised to work for him. As Ling Luochеn started to leave, he stopped her and said he was still willing to help her.

• Huo Yuhao asked Ling Luochеn how much she could offer for the Soul Bone, and she admitted she could provide only two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins immediately.
• Ling Luochеn offered to fight, guard Huo Yuhao, and repay him if he gave her the Soul Bone.
• Huo Yuhao closed the jade box and told Ling Luochеn he would not sell her the Soul Bone.
• Ling Luochеn accepted his refusal and turned to leave.
• Huo Yuhao grabbed Ling Luochеn's wrist and clarified that although he would not give her the Soul Bone, he had not said he would not help her.

Huo Yuhao teased Ling Luochеn with a rigged-sounding lot draw, then warned that absorbing the Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm Bone would kill her and offered to test a method for transforming her Martial Soul into Extreme Ice. Ling Luochеn mistook his experiment proposal for a sexual advance, then fled in embarrassment after he clarified his intentions.

• Huo Yuhao invited Ling Luochеn to draw a lot for the Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm Bone, and she drew a slip he turned to read as “Trifle.”
• Huo Yuhao explained that Ling Luochеn's current Martial Soul and cultivation could not safely absorb the Soul Bone, but offered to help transform her Martial Soul into Extreme Ice.
• Huo Yuhao asked Ling Luochеn to be his guinea pig for an experiment, and she blushed as she imagined he meant something sexual.
• Ling Luochеn told Huo Yuhao she would not resist, leaving him dumbfounded.
• Huo Yuhao explained that he only wanted to study a beneficial Martial Soul mutation, and Ling Luochеn fled the room in humiliation.

Huo Yuhao reverse-engineered the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone’s Ice Blast and learned that Electrolux was studying how Soul Rings and Martial Souls worked. The semifinal matchups were announced, pairing Shrek Academy against Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, but Huo Yuhao remained unconcerned because he had already secured what he came to Star Luo City for.

• Huo Yuhao examined the Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm Bone and used his Spirit Eyes to decipher the Soul Power patterns behind Ice Blast.
• Huo Yuhao realized his ability to understand the Soul Bone’s underlying rules had deepened after Electrolux used his body to invoke the laws of heaven and space.
• In Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Spirit, Electrolux assembled a Soul Ring from Soul Power origins belonging to A-Tai, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Ice Empress, then reshaped it into a Martial Soul.
• The semifinal draw paired Star Luo Imperial Academy with Minghuang Advanced Academy and Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy with Shrek Academy.
• Huo Yuhao watched the draw without concern, knowing he had already obtained Life Gold and the Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm Bone.

Minghuang Advanced Academy defeated Star Luo Imperial Academy by using Soul Tools to overwhelm its defenses in the team match. As Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy prepared to compete, Huo Yuhao noticed a young woman and a young man staring eagerly at him.

• Xu Jiujiu forfeited Star Luo Imperial Academy's individual elimination round because its Soul Kings could not safely face Ye Guyi.
• Xu Jiujiu used her Star Crown Martial Soul to shield and strengthen Star Luo Imperial Academy during the team match.
