Huo Yuhao told Xuan Zi that Ye Xishui was the Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder, prompting Xuan Zi to suspect Yan Shaozhe and plan to investigate after returning to Shrek Academy. Meanwhile, Xu Tianzhen refused to concede Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy's match against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team and vowed to win.

Xu Tianzhen and Huo Yuhao faced off as captains in the match between Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Mingdu Royal Soul Engineer Academy. As the referee started the match, Huo Yuhao intended to use Xu Tianzhen’s solar energy to aid his cultivation.

Huo Yuhao faced Xu Tianzhen in the tournament while she secretly prepared mental defenses, hoping to draw out his spiritual attacks.

• Huo Yuhao let Xu Tianzhen attack because he wanted to obtain Sun Radiance from her later.

Xu Tianzhen conceded Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy’s match after Xu Tianran stopped her from pressing Huo Yuhao about becoming her consort, and Shrek’s team discussed Huo Yuhao’s unusual defense. At Shrek Academy, Mu En questioned Xuan Zi about his actions, and Xuan Zi asked whether his service to the academy could still earn him another chance.

Mu En ordered Xuan Zi to stay at Shrek Academy and stop making unauthorized decisions, then learned from him that Ye Xishui might have become the Holy Spirit Cult’s Grand Elder. Xuan Zi suspected Shao Zhe could help uncover a mole and investigate Ye Xishui, while Xu Tianzhen told Xu Tianran that Huo Yuhao had easily defeated her.

• Xu Tianran asked Xu Tianzhen how it felt to lose to Huo Yuhao, and she admitted that her full strength had left him unharmed.

• Huo Yuhao went to the laboratory after resting and completing his Sun Moon Xuan Gong cultivation, where he studied a thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit.
• Xuan Ziwen questioned whether Huo Yuhao should focus on a Soul Tool for storing soul rings instead of the more difficult device for storing Soul Spirits.

Huo Yuhao discovered that the soul engineers’ reverence had produced Faith Power, which he shared with them to strengthen their bodies and encourage belief in him. Meanwhile, Xu Sanshi warned Shrek Academy’s team that their match against Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy would take place amid hostility over Xuan Zi.

• Xu Tianran worried that Shrek Academy might use hidden methods to overcome the Sun Moon Empire’s anti-cheating device, while Jing Hongchen assured him that Huo Yuhao could guarantee victory.

The fight began with Xiao Hongchen unleashing an evolved martial soul and a heavy cannon barrage that cracked Xu Sanshi’s shield.

• Xu Sanshi was surprised to find Xiao Hongchen fighting in place of Huo Yuhao, and the two exchanged taunts before the match.
• Spectators insulted Xu Sanshi and mocked his unrequited feelings for Jiang Nannan, so he asked the referee to activate the Soundproof Soul Guidance Barrier.

• Xiao Hongchen activated Martial Soul Possession, revealed his evolved martial soul, and quickly turned metal spheres into soul guidance cannons.
• Xiao Hongchen bombarded Xu Sanshi with Soul Guidance Cannon Shells, forcing him back and leaving fine cracks in his Profound Netherworld Tortoise Shell Shield.

Xu Sanshi struggled to withstand Xiao Hongchen’s soul tools and metal-controlling ability, then decided to use Profound Netherworld Displacement to avoid defeat. He reached the edge of the platform and leaped as though he meant to jump off.

• Xu Sanshi charged toward Xiao Hongchen behind a defensive Soul Tool Barrier, but Xiao Hongchen used Metal Control to shatter it and turn its metals into swords.
• Xu Tianran questioned Jing Hongchen about Xiao Hongchen’s changed Martial Soul, and Jing Hongchen said its bloodline had evolved.

• Xiao Hongchen used a Flying Soul Guidance Device to evade Xu Sanshi’s Profound Nether Tremor and revealed that he already knew about Profound Netherworld Displacement.

• Xu Sanshi urged Cai Meier to use special methods to ensure Xiao Hongchen lost.

After Xu Sanshi’s defeat left Shrek Academy facing a likely loss to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Cai Meier sought a way to protect the Academy’s chances without being caught cheating in Mingdu. Old Song ultimately gave the Shrek Team three ancient sets of Life-Threatening Soul Chasing Mother-Child Pellets, and explained how they worked.

• Cai Meier told Xu Sanshi and the other students to raise complaints with the tournament organizers to stall while she consulted Old Song.
• Cai Meier found Old Song, who said her prepared plan was unusable because Kong Deming, Long Xiaoyao, and Du Busi were watching the match.
• Xian Lin'er asked Old Song to use her collection of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons to help Shrek Academy win.

• Cai Meier questioned whether the ten-thousand-year-old weapons still worked, and Old Song explained their effects and usage.

Shrek Academy sent Jiang Nannan to face Xiao Hongchen with Life-Threatening Soul Chasing Mother-Child Pellets, despite Xu Sanshi's concern for her safety.

The chapter ended with Huo Yuhao asking how to unseal one of the nodes and enter Tang San’s Demiplane to take the stored Faith Power.

• The Plane Consciousness told Huo Yuhao that he could enter the Demiplane by unsealing a node, and Huo Yuhao asked how to do so.

Huo Yuhao learned that Tang San's sealed spiritual-sense nodes could be broken and enlisted Electrolux to study them. After Xiao Hongchen lost to Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao reassured him and identified her weapon as a Tang Sect Hidden Weapon.

• The Plane Consciousness explained that breaking Tang San's spiritual-sense seals required the aura of a blood relative and a way to undo the formation, while it could conceal the attempt from Tang San for a time.
• Huo Yuhao told Electrolux about the Plane Consciousness and the seals, and Electrolux promised to help him break them.
• Electrolux examined the Golden Trident Mark and concluded that its seal was not difficult to break.
• Huo Yuhao and Electrolux agreed to attempt the seal-breaking after the tournament, once Huo Yuhao obtained some of Wang Dong's blood.
• Xiao Hongchen returned after losing to Jiang Nannan, and Huo Yuhao comforted him before Xiao Hongchen warned him about her unusual weapon.
• Huo Yuhao told Xiao Hongchen that Jiang Nannan had used a Tang Sect Hidden Weapon, not a Soul Tool.

Huo Yuhao entered the arena to face Jiang Nannan after reassuring the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy that he knew how to counter the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon. Both teams expected the match to decide their next move, while Zheng Zhan watched from above, ready to protect Huo Yuhao.
