• Huo Yuhao thought about controlling the Golden Tree and using the Martial Soul Second Awakening and Soul Spirit plans to erode Shrek Academy’s advantage.

Huo Yuhao discovered Bai Xiuxiu being hunted by an Evil Soul Master and decided to rescue her, seeing her as a potential ally in undermining Tang San’s influence among sea creatures. He teleported toward the pursuit, while Bai Xiuxiu remained cornered and nearing death.

• Huo Yuhao used Mental Detection Sharing to locate a wounded Great White Shark of the Demon Soul Clan fleeing an Evil Soul Master and his Corpse Slaves and Wraiths.

Tang San ordered Da Ming and Er Ming to send Xiao Qi into Qiankun Love Questioning Valley, but they opposed the plan and decided to report him to Little Wu-jie. They traveled to the Divine Realm to find her, where she was preparing clothes for Xiao Qi.

• Tang San summoned Da Ming and Er Ming and ordered them to take Xiao Qi to Qiankun Love Questioning Valley, threatening to have Sea God Island handle it if they refused.

• Da Ming brought Er Ming to the Divine Realm, where Little Wu-jie was choosing clothes to give Xiao Qi when she returned.

Da Ming and Er Ming told Little Wu-jie that Tang San planned to send Xiao Qi alone into Qiankun Love Questioning Valley, prompting her to confront him. Tang San defended his decision as being for Xiao Qi’s growth, but yielded for the moment when Little Wu-jie asked him not to send her there.

• Jiang Nannan gave Xu Sanshi a disgusted look because she still remembered how he had hurt her.

Xuan Zi insisted that Shrek Academy remained superior to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, while Wang Dong’s mysterious inner voice supported his claim that Sun Moon had stolen its championship. On the ship, Huo Yuhao brought Bai Xiuxiu into his Undead Demiplane and pretended to be a Divine Beast with ties to the Dragon God.

• Fan Yu warned Xu Sanshi that Sun Moon’s advanced Soul Tools and home-field advantage in Mingdu would make the next tournament difficult for Shrek.

Huo Yuhao kept Bai Xiuxiu’s knowledge of Tang San secret and traveled to the Body Sect, where Du Busi and the sect’s leaders were preparing to test soul spirits. The masked Huo Yuhao arrived as Senior Xiao, and Long Aotian learned that he was the soul spirit inventor.

• Huo Yuhao told Bai Xiuxiu not to inform her mother about their secret until he said the time was right, and Elder Yi sealed her to prevent her from revealing it.

• Du Busi reviewed the Body Sect’s soul spirit preparations with Long Aotian and Vina while they waited for Senior Xiao to arrive.
• Long Aotian challenged the masked stranger who entered the Council Hall, but Du Busi rebuked him and identified the visitor as Senior Xiao.
• Long Aotian realized that Senior Xiao was the person who had invented soul spirits.

Huo Yuhao, posing as Senior Xiao, began a Spirit Soul experiment for the Body Sect, and Long Aotian volunteered to be the first recipient. The chapter left Long Aotian on the training platform as the elders brought out a thirty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

• Du Busi accepted Long Aotian as the first test subject and ordered the elders to bring the soul beast chosen for him.
• The elders brought a thirty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to the platform and restrained it while Huo Yuhao examined it.

Huo Yuhao used the Dragon Kings’ souls to subdue the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and began turning it into Long Aotian’s Spirit Soul. Long Aotian sat ready for the fusion as Huo Yuhao drew out the beast’s spiritual origin, soul imprint, Soul Power, and innate bloodline energy.

• Huo Yuhao explained the equal contract and the benefits of a Spirit Soul, while Long Aotian and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear doubted the beast would willingly agree.
• Huo Yuhao summoned the dragon souls of two Dragon Kings through an Undead Gate, and their Dragon Might made the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear tremble and submit.

• Long Aotian sat cross-legged opposite the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and Huo Yuhao began guiding its spiritual origin, soul imprint, Soul Power, and innate bloodline energy into a Spirit Soul.

• After the lecture, Ke Ke dismissed Zhao Wei’s talent and left Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao alone to discuss cultivation.
• Ju Zi told Ke Ke she had no interest in Zi Mu and would not let his jealousy dictate her actions.

• Ju Zi explained that the commanders of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Legion and Royal Dragon Soul Engineer Legion would not cooperate deeply with the Spirit Pagoda without the emperor’s permission.

• Huo Yuhao and the others flew toward the glowing silver moon as Kong Deming’s breakthrough became clear.

Kong Deming achieved level ninety-five and credited Huo Yuhao with helping him reach that breakthrough.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and proposed developing Humanoid Soul Tools with Xuan Ziwen. He revealed that the Heaven Dou Empire region held Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, a vital metal that could help them create powerful equipment.

• Ke Ke told Xuan Ziwen that Huo Yuhao had far greater Soul Tool talent than she and the other students did.
