Su Wen and Nana spent the morning together after the academy suspended classes to search for spies. As Jing Hongchen struggled to investigate the leak from Mingde Hall, Ju Zi, Ke Ke, and Su Wen were questioned, but Su Wen’s account of his research with Xuan Ziwen was supported by the available evidence.

Tang San sensed an unknown power interfering with him while the God of Time and Space restored a disruption caused by Su Wen’s time travel. In the laboratory, Su Wen struggled to understand the linked formations in a Humanoid Soul Guidance Mecha, while Xuan Ziwen confirmed that Mingde Hall had dismissed his altered forging data.

• Tang San sensed a strange fluctuation in his body and suspected that the God of Destruction had noticed something, while planning to seize the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings for his own rise.

• Xuan Ziwen told Su Wen that he had altered and submitted a copy of the metal-forging data, but Mingde Hall had barely examined it before setting it aside.

Su Wen gave Mu Qiu'er an experimental Eighth-Grade Defensive Soul Tool, which she named Su Wen's Protection, then returned to developing a Ninth-Level Soul Guidance Device. After he completed another core formation, Ju Zi saw his work and was shocked by how young he was to be attempting a Ninth-Level Soul Guidance Device.

• Mu Qiu'er brought Su Wen lunch, bragged that she could forge two kinds of metal, and agreed to remind Lou Yingying and Song Lei to study Soul Guidance technology and the Linkage Formation.

• Su Wen carved and connected a fourth core formation for his Ninth-Level Soul Guidance Device, reflecting on how difficult it was to make every part of a linkage formation work perfectly together.
• Ju Zi admitted she had watched Su Wen carve the core formation and expressed surprise that someone her age was attempting work on a Ninth-Level Soul Guidance Device.

Su Wen planned to condense a Soul Core to strengthen his Soul Power and make using his Soul Tools easier. He gathered help and resources from his companions, but decided to preserve Azure Luan’s Gold of Life rather than risk consuming the Pokeball’s source.

• Su Wen left the laboratory after allowing others to observe his Soul Guidance Device Core Formation work.
• On his way to the dormitory, Su Wen considered the Sun Moon Empire’s mass production of Soul Master elites and set the thought aside.
• Su Wen assessed how a Soul Core could improve his Rank 13 second Martial Soul and concluded that his weak internal Soul Power made external support essential.
• Su Wen planned to condense the Soul Core inside Azure Luan’s Pokeball, using the Water Dragon King’s Dragon Pill, Tian Meng’s remains and Spiritual Power origin, and his companions’ aid.
• Snow Empress said she had recovered enough to stay awake and watch Su Wen, while he decided to keep Azure Luan’s Gold of Life intact.

• A gaunt black-robed man bid on the Soul-Devouring Blade, and Meng Hongchen explained that the Sun Moon Empire still cooperated with such buyers.
• Su Wen recognized the risks of confronting the Evil Spirit Masters and chose not to act against the bidder.
