Jiang Yu met Princess Xu Jiujiu and teased her with his boastful charm, provoking her anger and curiosity. When she threatened to keep him in the palace, he warned that he could teleport away and spread scandalous rumors about her, leaving her flustered and retreating.
Jiang Yu and Xu Jiujiu wagered on their teams’ tournament match, with the loser agreeing to serve the winner, before Jiang Yu rushed to Shrek Academy’s opening match. He arrived at the rest area just as the match against Heavenly Spirit Advanced Academy was about to begin, while Shrek’s depleted lineup left Wang Yan deeply worried.
Jiang Yu returned just before Shrek's opening match, struck Wang Dong for criticizing his absence, and rejected the idea that the Shrek Seven Devils title was a glory he needed. He then defeated Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy in under thirty seconds and left the stage.
After Shrek Academy’s opening victory, Jiang Yu agreed that the preparatory team should gain experience in the coming matches, then left to explore the city with Ning Tian and Wu Feng. Wang Dong criticized them, and Ling Luochеn condemned her before the other main-team members left the conference hall.
Jiang Yu, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng went shopping in crowded Star Luo City before spotting Yu Aotian with a woman across the street. They discussed the dangers of confronting him and decided to plan how to eliminate him.
After Shrek Academy’s reserve team topped its group, Ning Tian brought the team to a Starlight Auction House top-tier auction, where Wu Feng bought a powerful Soul Tool with a bold bid. The chapter ended with Wang Yan reflecting on the power of money.
Ning Tian decided to bid on a powerful Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone for Ling Luochеn, while Huo Yuhao learned from the Ice Empress that absorbing it could kill her. He was told to let Ling Luochеn have it for now and wait until he was strong enough to claim it himself.
The Ice Empress persuaded Huo Yuhao to treat the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as enemies, and he gave up competing for the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. Jiang Yu then warned the Starlight Auction House that the Soul Bone could only be absorbed safely by a Soul Master with ultimate ice, prompting Xu Jiujiu to trust his claim and leave to address the issue.
After Xu Jiujiu’s flirtatious-sounding exchange with Jiang Yu stirred speculation, Ning Tian demanded he explain himself to her and Wu Feng that night. At the auction, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo appeared, and Ning Tian pledged that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would help Jiang Yu obtain it at any cost.
Jiang Yu rejected bidding on the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo because the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not safely protect it, despite his plan to pursue a 700,000-year Seventh Soul Ring from the Snow Empress. Ning Tian decided to drive up the price anyway, and rival bidders immediately joined the contest.
Lang Ya and Yu Tao investigated the buyer of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo while planning to take Huo Yuhao back to the Body Sect after the tournament. The Xu siblings offered Jiang Yu the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone as a personal reward if he led Shrek Academy to victory, and Jiang Yu accepted.
Jiang Yu visited Ning Tian’s room, where his teasing and sudden embrace of Wu Feng sparked an awkward exchange before Ning Tian returned from bathing. Xu Jiujiu waited in vain at a restaurant and vowed not to let Jiang Yu get away with standing her up.
Shrek Academy reached the final four and faced Star Luo National Academy, where Xu Jiujiu’s prepared tactics began to counter Shrek’s fighters. Her team trapped several opponents inside Star’s Protection, and Chen Zifeng was defeated as Huang Heyun turned toward Xi Xi.
Jiang Yu’s teammates deliberately withdrew to expose their protest against Shrek Academy, leaving him to face Star Luo National Academy alone. Xu Jiujiu trapped him in a Space-Time Boundary Wall, but Jiang Yu revealed his Thunderclap Hellvine and ordered it to attack.
