The Medicine Immortal Douluo found that Ling Luochеn's Sea of Consciousness was badly damaged and that she might remain asleep for more than ten years without help from a powerful mental-attribute Soul Master. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's attempt to merge the Silver Heavenly Flames with his mental power nearly destroyed his Sea of Consciousness, and Elder Yi suggested using the Mystic Ice Lotus Platform to suppress the flames.

Huo Yuhao negotiated with Mu En to represent Shrek Academy in the tournament in exchange for the map to the Sea Heart Flame, a mysterious blue flame in a deep-sea sea within the sea.

Huo Yuhao purified the Spirit Devouring Fierce Blade and used the Gold of Life to cleanse his body and nourish his Sea of Consciousness. The Gold of Life merged into his forehead eye, while Electrolux gained a vessel to stabilize his divine sense.

• Electrolux purified the Spirit Devouring Fierce Blade, restoring the Gold of Life's clear blue-green appearance.

• Electrolux explained that the gold of life had merged with Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, greatly expanding it and accelerating his spiritual growth and recovery.

• Wang Yan excitedly recognized Huo Yuhao's voice, then froze and asked who the unfamiliar-looking person was.

Huo Yuhao returned to Shrek Academy’s briefing, explaining that a cultivation mishap had made him extraordinarily fat while claiming his fighting strength was unaffected. As Shrek prepared to face Zhengtian Academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy dismissed Huo Yuhao’s abilities and believed Shrek’s troubles gave them an opening.

• Huo Yuhao arrived at Shrek Academy’s meeting looking enormously fat and told Wang Yan that a cultivation problem had caused his condition.

• Huo Yuhao and Zhengtian captain Ye Wuqing drew a two, two, three match format, beginning with two two-on-two bouts.

After the draw gave Shrek a Two-Two-Three Battle Formation against Zhengtian Academy’s three Soul Kings, Wang Yan wanted to concede, but Huo Yuhao insisted the team had hidden strengths. The group committed to fighting at full power, and Huo Yuhao secretly instructed Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan as the chapter ended.

• Huo Yuhao privately instructed Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan, who reluctantly agreed to his plan.

Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan faced Zhengtian Academy in the first two-on-two match, but Wang Dong charmed Yu Mengdi into leaving the platform and conceded the match. Shrek Academy was declared the loser, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy mistook the concession for weakness and fell for Huo Yuhao’s trap.

• A grotesque fan’s shouts for Wang Dong horrified the audience, and Emperor Xu Jiawei ordered guards to remove her and send garlic to the Beast Cavalry Battalion.
