• Huo Yuhao watched Optimus Prime Soul Guidance Robot defeat the hundred-thousand-year giant bear in less than five minutes without using his martial soul.

• Jiang Peng staggered backward, dropped his axe, and lost consciousness after the imagined flames caused him to feel severe burns.
• The referee examined Jiang Peng and realized his injuries suggested the attack had been mental.

Huo Yuhao defeated all seven members of Diao Advanced Soul Master Academy by trapping them in a mental illusion, securing Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s victory. After leaving the tournament, he headed to find Dai Huabin in Star Luo Imperial City, intending to use the White Tiger Dagger to throw the White Tiger Duke’s family into chaos.

• Huo Yuhao’s mental illusion made Diao Advanced Soul Master Academy’s fighters battle their own reflected attacks until all seven collapsed.
• The referee declared Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy the winner, and Meng Hongchen led the team in cheering for Huo Yuhao.
• Wang Yan worried that Huo Yuhao’s six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and possible Soul Bones made him nearly impossible to defeat, while Ling Luochеn felt proud of his strength.
• The tournament continued, but Huo Yuhao left after his match because he had another purpose in Star Luo Imperial City.
• Huo Yuhao planned to find Dai Huabin, who was receiving treatment from Wang Xian'er, and use the White Tiger Dagger to plunge the White Tiger Duke’s family into chaos.
