• Zhu Zhuqing practiced alone in her hotel room, and the outlines of two figures began to grow clearer in her spiritual power space.

Zhu Zhuqing mastered the basics of the Three Apertures Control Heart and received the White Tiger Nine Turns technique, but struggled to fuse spiritual power and physical strength into heart force.

• Flender and Zhao Wuji warned the group to stay within the teachers' protective formation, then arranged everyone for the journey into the forest.

• Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and Zhao Xin attacked and killed both groups of soul beasts.

Zhu Zhuqing and the teachers defeated two dangerous thousand-year Soul Beasts, then the group rested while she discovered she had fused a small amount of Heart Force. When a gigantic Seven-Colored Butterfly appeared, Zhao Xin empowered everyone with golden crystal balls, and Flender led the group in a desperate escape.

• Zhu Zhuqing killed the Thousand-Year Centipede Giant Insect with a black-flame arrow and three lightning arrows while Lu Qibin and the teachers defeated the Thousand-Year Bloodthirsty Demon Spider.
• Oscar and Tang San declined to absorb either Soul Beast, so Zhao Wuji led the group away from the carcasses to a safer place to rest.
• Xiao Wu trembled and looked pale after the battle, while Zhu Zhuqing realized she had fused a tiny thread of Heart Force into her left palm.
• Zhao Wuji shouted for everyone to form up and used his Martial Soul Avatar to create golden crystal balls, which Flender told the group to swallow.

• Zhu Zhuqing shot the eight-meter serpent with lightning, and Zhao Wuji used his third soul skill to bind the ten-meter serpent and force it to the ground.
• Zhao Wuji dodged as a sudden blast tore up the ground beside the group and left a large crater.

The teachers fought the Wind Sword Sect while Oscar and one of the sect’s youths began absorbing Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent soul rings. Tang San suspected the youth’s absorption would fail because his serpent exceeded the usual age limit, though Zhu Zhuqing explained that a strong body and spirit could allow some variation.

• The white-haired old man and two Seven-Ring Soul Sages from the Wind Sword Sect hunted the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpents and prepared to help their youths absorb soul rings.

Zhu Zhuqing woke with her Heart Force greatly strengthened, and Xiao Wu promised to fetch her more water so she could cultivate.

• Ning Rongrong pleaded with Tang San and the teachers to save Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San asked Oscar and Zhao Xin for help reaching them.
• Er Ming carried Xiao Wu and the unconscious Zhu Zhuqing through the Star Dou Great Forest, then obtained a crystal gourd of water of life to treat Zhu Zhuqing.
• As Er Ming poured water of life onto Zhu Zhuqing, her injuries persisted while her body grew stronger and the Heart Force in her left palm expanded.
• Xiao Wu finished condensing her third soul ring, and Er Ming accidentally spilled the remaining water of life onto her while treating Zhu Zhuqing.
• Zhu Zhuqing woke and calmly touched Er Ming, completing a random mission and receiving 10 destiny points.
• Zhu Zhuqing told Xiao Wu the water helped her secret technique, so Xiao Wu asked Er Ming to fetch more water of life for her.

Flender and the Shrek group faced Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny while Tang San endured the dangerous absorption of a Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring. Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu returned safely, and Ning Rongrong discovered that Xiao Wu’s Water of Life was restoring her strength and unlocking sealed meridians.

• Flender tried to deter Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny by claiming the group had encountered a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, but they became enraged when they realized he was mocking them.

Flender and Zhao Wuji reflected on Shrek’s inability to help its gifted students and on Dai Mubai’s dangerous royal struggle, while Flender decided to keep his suspicions about Zhu Zhuqing to himself. Zhu Zhuqing discovered that absorbing moonlight with heart force formed a glowing crescent on her forehead, then summoned a miniature tiger to guard her door before falling asleep.
