• Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, and the others agreed to train under Leng Yaozhu and promised to work hard.

Tang Wulin was ambushed on his way to Eastsea City by an assassin who claimed Qiangu Dongfeng had ordered his death. Tang Wulin revealed that he was unharmed and launched a counterattack, but the level seventy-two Soul Saint summoned his Blood Puppet and charged at him.

• Before Tang Wulin could respond, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye arrived and asked whether he was all right.

Tang Wulin returned to Eastsea City with Zhen Hua and Mu Ye after fighting Evil Soul Masters, then announced he wanted to attempt the Seven-Level Saint Craftsman breakthrough. At the Eastsea City Blacksmith Association, he met Mu Chen and his daughter Mu Xi, who asked to take the Level Two Blacksmith assessment.

• Tang Wulin thanked Zhen Hua while the blacksmiths watched in shock and envy.

After earning a Seven-Level Saint Craftsman badge, Tang Wulin encouraged the disheartened Mu Xi and taught blacksmiths in Eastsea City. While Zhen Hua flew him and Mu Ye home in a black-grade mecha, a Limit Douluo-level attack ambushed them, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Mu Xi failed her Level Two Blacksmith assessment, then saw Tang Wulin's Seven-Level Saint Craftsman badge and admitted she could not compare with him.
• Tang Wulin told Mu Xi to follow her own path, and she regained her confidence after learning Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda were jointly training him.
• Tang Wulin taught blacksmiths at the Eastsea City Blacksmith Association, helping veteran smiths break through their bottlenecks.
• Tang Wulin refused to travel by soul guidance train, so Mu Chen arranged a black-grade mecha for the return journey with Zhen Hua and Mu Ye.
• During the flight, Tang Wulin considered the future potential of battle armor as Zhen Hua discussed whether Four-Word Battle Armor was its limit.
• An attack struck the mecha, and Zhen Hua identified the incoming assault as at least Limit Douluo-level, possibly from an Evil Soul Master wearing Three-Word Battle Armor.

Dark Hummingbird intercepted Mu Ye while Dark Phoenix attacked Zhen Hua and Tang Wulin, but Tang Wulin survived her strike with Invincible Golden Body. Zhen Hua fought Dark Phoenix to protect Tang Wulin as Mu Ye remained occupied elsewhere.

• A mysterious attacker destroyed the Black-Grade Mecha, while Dark Hummingbird revealed himself to Mu Ye and prevented him from helping Zhen Hua.

• Dark Phoenix blocked Zhen Hua’s punch without moving, then exchanged blows with him as their battle shook the surrounding ground.

Tang Wulin saw Leng Yulai overpower Zhen Hua and learned that Federation officials had secretly enabled the Holy Spirit Cult’s attack. He feigned terror to distract Leng Yulai, but after she seized him as a hostage, she was suddenly struck by a devastating wound to her chest.

• Leng Yulai suppressed Zhen Hua and revealed that Federation officials had helped prepare the Holy Spirit Cult’s operation against the Divine Craftsmen.
• Tang Wulin assessed the battle as Zhen Hua weakened under the Dark Phoenix’s flames while Mu Ye remained trapped by Dark Hummingbird.

• Leng Yulai grabbed Tang Wulin and threatened to kill him, forcing Zhen Hua and Mu Ye to stop fighting and offer to surrender.
• As Leng Yulai laughed over her captives, a sudden attack tore open her chest and nearly pierced her heart.

• Tang Wulin used his Golden Dragon Terror Claw to pierce Leng Yulai’s defenses and badly wound her.

• Zhen Hua watched Leng Yulai disappear into the night, frustrated that he had failed to stop her.

Tang Wulin helped Zhen Hua and Mu Ye survive an assassination by the Holy Spirit Cult, but Zhen Hua left distrustful of the Federation. The Federation Chairman revealed he had delayed the rescue and plotted to bring the continent’s major powers under his control, just as Qiangu Dongfeng arrived.

• Dark Hummingbird escaped using Dark Space after Leng Yulai fled, while Mu Ye and Zhen Hua acknowledged that Tang Wulin’s ambush had turned the battle in their favor.

• The Federation officers reported to the Chairman that Zhen Hua had survived, and the Chairman privately blamed the Holy Spirit Cult for failing to kill him.
• The Chairman revealed that he had deliberately delayed the rescue because he wanted Zhen Hua dead and resented the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect, and Shrek Academy.
• Qiangu Dongfeng entered the Chairman’s office and greeted him.

Qiangu Dongfeng persuaded the Chairman to allow Spirit Pagoda to obtain God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shells for use against Shrek Academy, while each man privately planned to exploit the other. After surviving an attack with Zhen Hua, Tang Wulin urged him to receive the Federation’s representative and avoid an open confrontation until they had an opportunity to act.

• Qiangu Dongfeng told the Chairman that Shrek Academy threatened the Federation and asked him to relax restrictions on God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shells.

• Tang Wulin recalled that Shrek City would later be bombed and vowed to prevent the tragedy.
• Tang Wulin persuaded Zhen Hua to meet the Federation’s representative rather than provoke a confrontation, and Zhen Hua left to receive the visitor.

After Zhen Hua sent Tang Wulin back to Shrek City alone for safety, Beast God Di Tian intercepted him near the city and tried to capture him. Tang Wulin’s escape skills failed against Di Tian’s power, but he wounded Di Tian with a last-second counterattack.

• Zhen Hua decided Tang Wulin should return to Shrek City alone and avoid revealing himself until he became a Soul Saint.
• Tang Wulin secretly traveled toward Shrek City by remote routes, changing vehicles and disguising himself as an ordinary boy.

• Di Tian sealed the space around Tang Wulin and restrained him until Invincible Golden Body expired, then seized him.
• Tang Wulin struck Di Tian with Golden Dragon Terror Claw, leaving five shallow bloody marks on Di Tian’s chest.

• Tang Wulin woke among powerful soul beasts and feigned sleep while they discussed using his bloodline to help their lord become the Dragon God.

• Xiong Jun told Tang Wulin that Gu Yue was their lord and that they planned to extract his bloodline so she could become the Dragon God.
• Tang Wulin calmly asked whether the beast kings had considered what the Dragon God actually was.

• Tang Wulin told the beast kings that the Dragon God had willingly split himself into the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King to protect the world.
• Tang Wulin claimed that the Dragon God had revealed the secret in his dreams, given him his golden dragon king bloodline, and foretold the dragons' reunion.
• Tang Wulin recited a poem and named Xiong Jun, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the Myriad Demon King as the Dragon God's trusted helpers.
