After Xuan Zi returned from the Mingduo Mountains, the Sea God Pavilion punished him and decided to send Bei Bei as the depleted team’s sole reinforcement for the tournament in Star Luo City.

• Electrolux told Gu Mingyuan the Corpse Explosion Mother Seal could affect a Beast Soul-cultivating Soul Douluo, then offered to remake it as a Soul-Locking Mother Seal with a Sub-Imprint.

Gu Mingyuan began gathering materials to refine a Soul-Locking Mother Seal, then used a concealed Sub-Imprint to prepare Wu Zhu for questioning. Shrek won its opening match without Gu Mingyuan appearing, while Wu Zhu’s imprint remained dormant and could be strengthened later.

• Electrolux explained that the Sub-Imprint suppressed Evil Soul Masters and listed the materials needed to refine its Mother Seal, prompting Gu Mingyuan to search Star Luo City’s trading district.
• Shrek won the tournament’s opening match after Huo Yuhao disguised the team with Simulation and joined Wang Dong in using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, while Gu Mingyuan stayed out of sight.

• Gu Mingyuan handed Wu Zhu a Secret Art Soul Bone, and Electrolux planted a dormant Sub-Imprint in Wu Zhu’s Sea of Spirit when their hands touched.
• Electrolux warned that the imprint could cause Wu Zhu pain and terror but could not control him without further refinement.

Gu Mingyuan interrogated Wu Zhu about the marked token and learned that Vice Cult Master Feng Ling had left the spiritual mark. He commissioned an upgradeable spear blueprint and a strength-focused gauntlet, then left Wu Zhu fearful of revealing their dealings.

• Gu Mingyuan used the Sub-Imprint to force Wu Zhu to reveal that Vice Cult Master Feng Ling had marked the token.

• Gu Mingyuan left the base and headed for Black Furnace Manor.

The Shrek team attended a top-tier auction, where Gu Mingyuan bought Soul-Nourishing Jade Marrow and the academy failed to secure an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone for Ling Luochеn.

• Dou Ling Royal Academy raised shields and earthen walls and covered the arena in illusory fog, while Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection Sharing to reveal the team’s defenses to Shrek.

Gu Mingyuan and Shrek's team disrupted the Dou Ling Team's attempt to fire a nearly level-seven Thunder Cannon. With the cannon disabled and the opposing formation exposed, Gu Mingyuan faced Qianyuan in a clash that ended with his first full-powered punch.

• Gu Mingyuan recognized the Dou Ling Team's weapon as a Thunder Cannon, and Xu Sanshi used Xuanming Displacement to swap places with Guzhujian and throw the opposing formation into disarray.
• Xu Sanshi displaced himself again, putting Gu Mingyuan amid the Dou Ling Team's concentrated attacks as Gu Mingyuan converted his strength into Ultimate Defense.

That night, the Body Sect tried to take Gu Mingyuan, but Xuan Zi stopped them, leaving Gu Mingyuan resolved to gain the strength to choose his own future.

After the Body Sect tried to recruit Gu Mingyuan, the Star Luo Emperor ordered an investigation into his background. The Holy Spirit Cult fabricated credible records to cover the gap in his past, leaving the emperor and the Body Sect suspicious but without proof.

• Xuan Zi led Gu Mingyuan back to the hotel after stopping Lang Ya and Yu Tao from approaching him.
• Xu Jiawei learned of the Body Sect’s attempt and ordered the Imperial Guards to investigate Gu Mingyuan’s background without alerting him.

• Xu Jiawei reviewed the corroborating records and decided to invite Gu Mingyuan to the palace after the finals.
• Lang Ya and Yu Tao received the newly completed file and noticed that its caravan records and witness had appeared only after the imperial investigation began.

Feng Ling used altered records to deepen the Body Sect’s distrust of Shrek and planned to create a death record for Gu Mingyuan. Before the finals, Wang Yan prepared Shrek’s team for the Sun Moon Team’s gravity-binding formation and assigned Gu Mingyuan to learn how to break it.

• Lang Ya and Yu Tao concluded that Shrek had forged Gu Mingyuan’s records and warned the sect master not to trust the academy’s background information.

• Huo Yuhao was left out of Wang Yan’s plan, and Yu Xiaogang angrily questioned the decision in the Sea of Spirit.

The Sun Moon Team trapped Gu Mingyuan with the Four-Pole Traction Array and won the team battle after Shrek conceded to prevent further injuries. Afterward, Du Busi watched Gu Mingyuan’s performance and asked Lang Ya how many promising recruits the Body Sect could send to Shrek over the next ten years.

• Wang Yan told Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to conserve their Soul Power for later matches because their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was their greatest value.
• The Sun Moon Team activated the Four-Pole Traction Array around Gu Mingyuan, using its shifting forces to restrain him and disrupt his fighting style.
• Cao Jinxuan briefly stopped Mijia’s Soul Power output, allowing Gu Mingyuan to destroy one anchor pillar, but the remaining pillars restored the array.
• Gu Mingyuan tore down the other three pillars, but He Caitou and Cao Jinxuan had already been eliminated and Xu Sanshi was badly injured, so Wang Yan conceded the team battle.
• Du Busi watched a recording of Gu Mingyuan dismantling the array and asked Lang Ya how many recruits with high Innate Soul Power the Body Sect could provide to Shrek over ten years.

Shrek tied the score with the Sun Moon Team after Gu Mingyuan defeated Meng Hongchen, while the Holy Spirit Cult confirmed his identity from his blood and ordered his file sealed.

• Du Busi decided to trade three covert agents for one and planned to speak with Xuan Zi after the finals.
• Wang Yan changed Shrek's lineup, and Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei each defeated a Sun Moon Team fighter before Bei Bei withdrew to avoid Meng Hongchen's poison.
• Gu Mingyuan resisted Meng Hongchen's poison and ice attacks, then hurled her out of the arena; Ma Rulong conceded the remaining individual matches, tying the score at one to one.
• A lounge attendant stole Gu Mingyuan's bloodstained bandages, allowing Feng Ling to confirm his identity and order his White File sealed, his Death File activated, and the city gates watched.
• Mijia and Chen Fei disrupted Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's fusion attempt with soul tools, then used Invincible Shields to withstand Golden Road and eliminate them.

The tied final began as Shrek Academy faced the Sun Moon Empire team for the championship, while Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei prepared for the Body Sect’s expected move after the tournament. Gu Mingyuan stood alone against Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Red Dust Attachment, and searched for the fusion’s weakness.

• Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng defeated Ma Rulong in the second match, but Ma Xiaotao lost control of her Evil Fire and Xuan Zi sealed her power.
• Xu Jiawei learned that Du Busi and Body Sect experts had arrived in Star Luo City, ordered protection for the tournament’s fairness, and arranged an escort for Shrek Academy after the final.
• Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Gu Mingyuan agreed to set aside their grudges and fight together in the deciding match.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen unleashed Red Dust Attachment, while Xu Sanshi used Xuanming Displacement to pull Lin Xi into Bei Bei’s attack and eliminate him.
• Xu Sanshi blocked the fusion skill’s first surge and was eliminated; Bei Bei disrupted its Soul Power flow before the torrent swept him away as well.
• Gu Mingyuan endured Red Dust Attachment with his Golden Jade defenses and used his Purple Emperor Eyes to find where Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s Soul Power converged.
