• Toji slapped Gangzi, Liu Erlong, and Flender, then warned Shrek Academy that their tournament opponents would overwhelm them without Hei Ranbai.

• Tang Yuehua suspected Spirit Hall had caused Tang Hao’s condition, but Tang Hao dismissed the idea and hid his anger toward her.
• Tang Hao accidentally let out a thunderous fart in front of Tang Yuehua and resolved not to kill her yet because she was his most important family member.
• Tang San rejected Gangzi’s repeated advice to take a Poison Attribute Soul Ring and chose to seek a Life-Giving Grass instead.
• Gangzi identified a 4,500-year-old Blue Lightning Bird as a suitable Soul Beast for Yu Tianheng and claimed the clan’s inherited Soul Ring choices limited its future.
• Yu Tianheng accepted Gangzi’s recommendation, and Nue knocked the Blue Lightning Bird out of the sky.
• Yu Tianheng charged the fallen bird with his Thunder Dragon Claw while Dai Mubai followed with two Soul Skills.

Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai absorbed Fourth Soul Rings that gave them weak area attacks after following Gangzi’s advice, while Tang San rejected Gangzi’s suggestion for his own Soul Ring. The group found six unfamiliar red plants, which Tang San recognized as the Soul-Breaking Grass, and gathered around them.

• Ma Hongjun ate a Soul-Breaking Grass despite Flender’s warning, hoping it would restore him, and his Soul Power rose from Level 31 to Level 35.

• The Wind God told Feng Wanli that Feng Xiaotian could receive the nine trials if he advanced ten kilometers into Hurricane Gorge without activating his martial soul.

• Feng Wanli promised Feng Xiaotian three days with Huo Wu if he could enter Hurricane Gorge for two kilometers without using his Martial Soul, but the wind immediately blew him back out.

• Oscar agreed with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun that he would join the Star Luo Empire, while Dai Mubai privately imagined making Oscar his Imperial Consort.

The group then learned of the powerful rewards Spirit Hall had prepared for the Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, prompting them to intensify their training.

• Flender and the others rushed to Dai Mubai’s dormitory after hearing Oscar scream, and Zhu Zhuqing realized Dai Mubai had betrayed her.
• Hei Ranbai kicked open the bedroom door, then punched Dai Mubai through a window while rescuing the injured Oscar.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun distanced themselves from Dai Mubai, while Dai Mubai’s actions damaged his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing and weakened their Hell White Tiger.

• Neuvillette knocked down Sea Horse Douluo before he could unleash his Ninth Soul Skill, sealed his and Sea Spear Douluo's Soul Power, and ordered them taken into custody.

• Neuvillette threatened to attack Sea God Island unless it paid Fontaine three billion Gold Soul Coins within two months, and Bo Saixi agreed.

• Neuvillette said the two Douluo still had ten years left to serve, though good behavior could earn them reduced sentences.
• Sea Horse Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo watched Bo Saixi leave without rescuing them and returned to their exhausting labor under the guards’ orders.
