• Qin Qi began his first battle at the arena against Ma Hongjun, a First Ring Soul Master from Shrek Academy.

Qin Qi defeated Ma Hongjun at the Great Soul Arena and stole some of his Soul Power, then traveled to Shrek Academy hoping to steal his Martial Soul. He found the academy unguarded and, after Ma Hongjun returned with Dai Mubai, decided to pursue forgery before attempting the theft.

• Qin Qi left the Great Soul Arena and fed food to the Golden Saint Dragon on the way to Shrek Academy.
• Dai Mubai teased Ma Hongjun about his defeat and later took him out, while Oscar stayed behind to clean.

• Qin Qi stopped himself from stealing two Martial Souls and decided to learn forgery so he could steal without being noticed.

• Qin Qi stole some of Dai Mubai’s Soul Power while helping the medical team, but decided not to steal his Martial Soul in front of the crowd.

Qin Qi stole and refined Dai Mubai’s Evil-Eyed White Tiger and Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Souls, discovering that the Evil Fire boosted his energy rather than harming him. He used the excess energy to empower his Golden Saint Dragon and began absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone to put the effect to work.

• Qin Qi estimated that stealing Soul Power at the Great Soul Arena would let him level up about once every twenty days, then went to Shrek Academy and found Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun in their dormitory.
• Qin Qi used Formless Hand to take their Martial Souls, replace them with forged ones, and successfully refine the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and Evil Fire Phoenix.
• Qin Qi sensed the Evil Fire burning inside him and concluded that it was more like excessive internal heat, while also making his Soul Power circulate faster and increasing his energy.
• Qin Qi poured his abundant energy into the Golden Saint Dragon, whose body erupted in crimson flames and carried him away to fly somewhere secluded.
• Qin Qi found that sharing energy with the Golden Saint Dragon had not relieved all his internal heat, so he began absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone to accelerate his energy absorption.

Qin Qi considered how an Elixir Pearl might help Ma Hongjun control the Evil Fire Phoenix’s excess energy, then went to the Soul Arena to earn money. Ma Hongjun’s weakened Martial Soul cost him a match, and he later told Dai Mubai what had happened.

• Qin Qi decided that Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire Phoenix produced more fire energy and vitality than his body could withstand, and considered whether it could evolve an Elixir Pearl like Dugu Bo’s Jade Scale Snake Emperor.
• Qin Qi headed to the Soul Arena, while Dai Mubai went on a date and Ma Hongjun went to Suotuo City to fight.

• Qin Qi used the Golden Saint Dragon’s Elemental Breath to kill a Soul Beast and reflected on gathering more elemental powers and Soul Rings.
• Flender appeared at Shrek Academy, and Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun went to explain their situations to him.

At the Great Soul Arena, Qin Qi won his thirtieth consecutive match, and a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan member suspected he might be Second Master’s illegitimate son.

• Qin Qi found that his blue-green flames had lost their destructive power and could heal him by restoring Soul Power and stamina.

Qin Qi registered as Feng Jiuy​​e at the Suotuo City Spirit Hall, claiming to be an orphan with the Undying Bird Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power. After leaving, he planned how to use his identities and advance his strength, then sensed danger as he entered a Soul Battle while Yu Yuanzhen watched from a private room.

• Qin Qi awakened the Undying Bird Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power and registered under the name Feng Jiuy​​e.

• Qin Qi changed back into Luo Mian and entered a Soul Battle, where his danger-sensing soul skill triggered an urgent warning.
• Yu Yuanzhen watched Qin Qi from a private room.

Yu Yuanzhen learned that Qin Qi, living as Luo Mian, had Innate Full Soul Power and a Golden Saint Dragon Martial Soul, and suspected he might be connected to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After summoning him, Yu Yuanzhen asked who his father was, leaving Qin Qi bewildered by the suggestion that he was a clan illegitimate child.

• Yu Yuanzhen's subordinate reported Luo Mian's awakening in Notting City and his talent, prompting Yu Yuanzhen to connect him with Yu Xiaogang and wonder whether he was his grandson.
• Yu Yuanzhen ordered his subordinate to bring Luo Mian to him so he could question him personally.
• As Qin Qi tried to leave the Great Soul Arena, Yu Yuanzhen's subordinate politely asked him to meet an elder from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Yu Yuanzhen said Qin Qi was not merely being recruited but was being invited to return to the clan, then asked who his father was.
• Qin Qi said he was an orphan and wondered whether Yu Yuanzhen thought he was an illegitimate child of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Yu Yuanzhen asked Qin Qi to summon his Martial Soul to verify whether he belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Qin Qi released the Golden Saint Dragon, whose lightning resonated with Yu Yuanzhen's, convincing him that Qin Qi was related to the clan.
• Qin Qi argued that the evidence was uncertain, then realized Yu Yuanzhen's silence suggested the clan had many illegitimate children outside its walls.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained that the clan encouraged having children to counter the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul's mutation and cultivation difficulties.
• Qin Qi refused to return with Yu Yuanzhen because he needed to conceal his Soul Bone and finish his plans, so Yu Yuanzhen threatened to take him by force.

Qin Qi stood his ground against Yu Yuanzhen, who accepted his refusal to return to the clan but gave him a jade ring as a token. A month later, Qin Qi finished absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and began considering building his own attribute panel.

• Qin Qi defied Yu Yuanzhen, who praised his pride, confirmed he was a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan descendant, and gave him a jade ring.
• Yu Yuanzhen ordered his subordinate to send Qin Qi resources and arrange for Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin to meet and spar with him.
