Xu Sanshi unleashed Black Tortoise Awakening in the team battle against the Sun Moon Team, absorbing Mi Jia’s cannon blast and disabling the opposing team with Black Tortoise Roar. He displaced Xiao Hongchen into Shrek Academy’s formation before surrendering, leaving Yao Haoxuan to capture Xiao Hongchen as he pleaded to return to the fight.

• Xu Sanshi activated Black Tortoise Awakening and absorbed Mi Jia’s Level Seven Penetrating Shoulder Cannon with his Black Tortoise Shield.

Dai Yueheng and Meng Hongchen forced each other to surrender after unleashing dangerous attacks, and Heavenly Fiend Douluo stopped their strikes from causing lasting harm. As the battle continued, Chen Ping confronted the Sun Moon Team’s Chen An and Chen Fei.

• Mi Jia donned his full-body Soul Tool armor and clashed with Dai Yueheng, while Meng Hongchen summoned her Red-Eyed Ice Toad and prepared to poison him.
• Dai Yueheng activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation and Demon God Transformation, surrendered, and fired his White Tiger Annihilation Strike at Meng Hongchen; Meng Hongchen also surrendered rather than face the attack.

• Chen Fei arrived to assist Chen An, but Chen Ping knocked aside his ranged attack and faced both brothers.

Ma Rulong revealed a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to aid him against Ma Xiaotao, while Mi Jia eliminated He Caitou and turned the battle against the Sun Moon team.

• Ma Rulong regretted not surrendering before Ma Xiaotao’s attack melted away his left arm, while Huo Yuhao tried to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire.
• Chen Ping struggled against Chen An and Chen Fei as Mi Jia defeated and severely injured Yao Haoxuan.

• Heavenly Fiend Douluo declared Shrek Academy the winner after Chen Ping’s strike destroyed the Soul Fighting Arena and knocked out five opponents.
• Dai Hao, Xu Jiawei, Xuan Zi, and the Sun Moon Team reacted in shock as they realized Chen Ping had reached the finals using only one Soul Skill before revealing five hidden abilities.
• Ma Xiaotao cheered for Chen Ping, and Huo Yuhao pressed his hands to her back to suppress her Evil Fire.

• Huo Yuhao asked Ice Empress and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm why Chen Ping seemed stronger than expected, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said Chen Ping’s attack was beyond what a human could pull off.

After Shrek chose seven fighters for the individual stage on the ruined arena, Dai Yueheng, Jiang Nannan, and Wu Feng defeated the Sun Moon Team and secured Shrek’s two-to-zero victory. Wang Yan struggled to believe that Shrek had won the tournament.

• Heavenly Fiend Douluo announced that the remaining matches would take place on the Soul Fighting Ruins, and Xu Jiawei ordered the teams to continue after a one-minute rest.
• Chen Ping and Yao Haoxuan recovered enough to return to Shrek’s rest area, while the injured Sun Moon Team prepared to rely on reserves.
• Wang Yan submitted Shrek’s seven participants: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, Wu Feng, He Caitou, and Chen Ping.

• Wu Feng won two matches as a three-ring Soul Elder, and Heavenly Fiend Douluo announced Shrek’s two-to-zero victory over the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Wang Yan stood rooted in disbelief after Shrek’s tournament victory was confirmed.

• An aged voice invited the team inside, and the Sea God Pavilion shone with golden light that eased Chen Ping’s exhaustion.

Chen Ping and the Shrek students absorbed the Golden Tree’s light, while Ning Tian reflected on the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s plans for her and Wu Feng. After the light’s nourishing effects boosted Chen Ping’s soul power and healed Xu Sanshi, the group entered the Sea God Pavilion and faced its senior elders and Mu En.

• Chen Ping and the Shrek students sat down to absorb the Golden Tree’s power of light, which especially strengthened Bei Bei and Wu Feng.
• Ning Tian considered how her sect had sent her and Wu Feng to Shrek hoping Wu Feng would receive guidance from Yan Shaozhe and Mu En, plans that had failed in the original timeline.
• Electrolux woke and urged Chen Ping to absorb more light, and Chen Ping’s soul power rose by about half a rank.
• The light faded, and Chen Ping realized too late that it had cleansed his meridians like the Golden Apple; Xu Sanshi recovered enough to leave his stretcher.
• The group entered the Sea God Pavilion, where Mu En sat at the head of a table surrounded by Shrek’s senior elders and deans.

Mu En assigned Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Chen Ping to cultivate under him on Sea God Island and gave Chen Ping special rewards for his contributions to the Star Luo Empire trip. He then brought the three students to the Sea God Pavilion's secluded cultivation chambers, where he struggled to choose a suitable room for Chen Ping.

• Mu En assigned Yan Shaozhe, Xuan Zi, Cai Mei'er, Lin'er, and Duoduo to guide the other Reserve Team members, while Chen Ping, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian stayed on Sea God Island to cultivate under him.

• Mu En transported Chen Ping, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng to the secluded cultivation chambers and arranged suitable rooms for the two girls, but could not decide which room suited Chen Ping.

Chen Ping, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian entered Shrek Academy’s meditation chambers to strengthen their cultivation, each finding a room suited to their needs. While Wu Feng and Ning Tian began deep meditation, Chen Ping stayed distracted by his many responsibilities until Mu En teased him about his wealth.

• Mu En explained that the underground world beneath the Sea God Pavilion had 108 specialized chambers and that the three students had earned early access to deep meditation.
• Ning Tian began cultivating in a chamber suited to her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, while Chen Ping examined the skulls and thought about obtaining dragon blood and visiting the Dragon Girl he had bought.
• Mu En asked Chen Ping how to eliminate worries, and Chen Ping answered that getting rich overnight might do it.
• Mu En pointed out Chen Ping’s wealth from stripping two Body Sect Soul Douluos, receiving compensation from Xu Jiawei, and gaining a treasure appraisal fair pick, leaving Chen Ping surprised.

Mu En subjected Chen Ping to the Spiritual Power of one thousand and one Fear Demon Dragon skulls, forcing him to strengthen his Sea of Consciousness. While Chen Ping endured the trial, Mu En discussed his unusual Blood Qi and offered to teach him a method for combining it with Spiritual Power.

• Chen Ping considered his wealth modest compensation for the dangers and hardships he had faced.

• Chen Ping took out the Living Being Carving Knife and asked Electrolux how to use it.

Chen Ping used the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife to strengthen his body and expand his Sea of Consciousness. Electrolux then fused the Living Being Carving Knife and his divine sense source into Chen Ping, leaving him to endure the painful creation of a vertical eye between his brows.

• Chen Ping pressed the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife to his forehead and absorbed its life energy, toughening his body and increasing his potential.
