Chen Ping and Lan Fozi reached a Sea Demon Elephant habitat in the Ice Sea, where Chen Ping sought a treasure rather than a hunt. After the elephants used golden conches to knock them from the sky, Lan Fozi prepared to attack them.

• Lan Fozi grew furious at the elephants and raised her Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammers to attack.

Chen Ping stopped Lan Fozi from attacking the Sea Demon Elephants and offered them the heads of two Holy Spirit Douluo elders as proof of his goodwill. After learning their ritual conches were made by the Sea Princess Clan, he asked to buy one and offered ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow, leaving the Sea Demon Elephant Chief captivated by the trade.

• Lina invited Chen Ping and Lan Fozi to visit the Sea Princess Clan, then enveloped Chen Ping in a blue bubble and led him underwater.

Chen Ping brought Lan Fozi to the Sea Princess Clan and told the Sea Princess and Lina about Li Ya’s death and the souls he had freed from Myriad Souls Douluo. He revealed that he had preserved Li Ya’s soul, and it stirred when her mother called to her.

• The Sea Princess called softly to Li Ya, whose soul stirred and showed signs of pain.

Chen Ping visited the Sea Princess Clan’s treasury after helping the Sea Princess restore Li Ya’s soul, and reserved hundreds of Air-Prohibiting Conches for the battlefield. He left the treasury wanting to ask the Sea Princess where the conch runes came from.

• Li Ya briefly regained consciousness and spoke with the Sea Princess and her sister while Chen Ping and Lan Fozi stepped outside.

• Chen Ping reserved several hundred Air-Prohibiting Conches for later and toured the rest of the treasury.

Chen Ping discovered that the Sea Princess Clan’s treasury pillars were made of abundant deep sea silver and resolved to take it for making Soul Rings. He promised that Li Ya would not return to the Sea God’s embrace, and the Sea Princess gave him her spiritual tears in exchange for letting her and Lina visit Li Ya each year.

• The Sea Princess sent her golden tear pearls into Chen Ping as compensation, and Chen Ping said he would help even without them because he had a request of his own.

He left the knife in Li Ya until the next day, and the Sea Princess promised the Sea Princess Clan's support and prepared a banquet to thank him and Lan Fozi.

• The Sea Princess promised the Sea Princess Clan would support Chen Ping in future and ordered A Qing and A Hong to prepare a banquet for him and Lan Fozi.

• The Sea Princess told A Hong to give Chen Ping whatever he wanted, and A Hong explained that the pillars he fancied were too heavy for her and A Qing to move.
• Chen Ping said he only wanted deep sea silver, so the Sea Princess offered to take him to the Great Ocean Rift, where it lay in abundance.

Chen Ping returned to Shrek Academy after his northern expedition, bringing rare treasures and news of his dealings with the Sea Princess Clan. He left Huo Yuhao and the Soul Tool Department with valuable resources and recounted how he had defeated two Evil Titled Douluos.

• After bidding farewell to the Sea Princess Clan, Chen Ping used the teleportation array to return to Shrek Academy and considered where to build another array.
• Chen Ping gave Huo Yuhao a person-sized piece of ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow, then dropped seven hundred tons of Deep Sea Silver for the Soul Tool Department.

• Chen Ping credited Xuan Ziwen's Combined Piercing Light with helping him kill Abomination Douluo.

Chen Ping learned that Shrek Academy had begun repairing the Death God Tower but could not use it without relying on human souls. As the Academy faced the threat of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, the elders hoped to turn the weapon into a defense, and the chapter left the problem of finding a humane power source unresolved.

• Qian Duoduo scolded Chen Ping for fighting two evil Titled Douluos alone, and Chen Ping teased him about inheriting the dean's position.
• Qian Duoduo reflected on Chen Ping's extraordinary strength after forming a soul core at seven rings.
• Xuan Ziwen reminded Chen Ping of the Death God Tower, which Chen Ping admitted he had set aside after returning to the Academy and helping the Body Sect.
• Xuan Ziwen explained that Shrek and Mo Fang had studied the Tower and begun repairs but refused to power it with the vast number of human souls it required.
• Xuan Ziwen described why Ye Xishui valued souls: their spirit bodies could be stacked in enormous numbers inside the Tower and converted into spiritual energy.

Chen Ping proposed using Divine Realm immortal spirit qi to power the Death God Tower, though obtaining it would require him to grow strong enough to face Da Ming and Er Ming. After two peaceful months at Shrek Academy, he learned that large numbers of soul beasts were gathering in the Star Dou Forest.

• Chen Ping identified immortal spirit qi as a possible energy source for the Death God Tower, and Xuan Ziwen, Huo Yuhao, and Qian Duoduo reacted to the idea.
• Chen Ping considered seeking the immortal spirit qi Tang San had stored in the Clear Sky Sect, but decided he first needed enough strength to face Da Ming and Er Ming.
• Chen Ping discussed Shrek’s teleportation array and deep sea silver with the elders, then left the Sea God Pavilion without asking for more silver for Electrolux.
• Chen Ping spent two months at the academy with Ning Tian and Wu Feng, reaching Level 73 and continuing to advance rapidly.
• A Shrek graduate from the Star Dou Forest Mining Team reported to Chen Ping that large numbers of soul beasts had begun gathering there.

Chen Ping suspected the Holy Spirit Cult had provoked the unrest in Star Dou Forest and ordered preparations for a possible beast tide. In the forest, Di Tian and the other powerful soul beasts discovered that more than five hundred hundred-thousand-year soul beasts had been hunted in half a month, and Bi Ji questioned why humans would do this during their war.

• A senior student told Chen Ping that soul beasts in Star Dou Forest had grown restless and were attacking human soul masters together.
• Chen Ping suspected the Holy Spirit Cult was behind the unrest and ordered a warning sent to City Lord Shi Xing to prepare for a possible beast tide.
• Chen Ping hurried to convene a Sea God Pavilion Meeting.
• Di Tian tore open a fissure in the sky above Star Dou Forest, but nothing appeared before it closed.
• Di Tian told Bi Ji that another hundred-thousand-year soul beast had died, and a cyan horse-faced man reported that more than five hundred had been hunted in half a month.
• Bi Ji asked whether the killings were suspicious, since the human war was already intensifying.

Chen Ping recognized that the Holy Spirit Cult had engineered the Star Dou Forest massacre to provoke Di Tian into launching a beast tide against Shrek. As a blood-red storm gathered over the forest, Chen Ping refused to let Di Tian dictate humanity’s course and prepared to fight, while Xuan Zi revealed that he and Du Busi had made progress on Chen Ping’s plan.

• Xiong Jun demanded bloody retaliation for the deaths of Star Dou Forest’s Soul Beasts, while Bi Ji questioned the suspicious attack and Di Tian allowed the Ferocious Beasts’ anger to rise.
• Chen Ping concluded that the Holy Spirit Cult had provoked the conflict and accepted that Shrek would have to face the beast tide rather than smooth things over as a misunderstanding.
• A blood-red sky and torrential rain appeared over Star Dou Great Forest, and Xuan Zi and Shi Xing recognized that the beast tide was likely unavoidable.
• Chen Ping declared that Shrek would fight the Soul Beasts if Di Tian intervened in humanity’s war, and explained that he needed to make Di Tian withdraw through the cost of the conflict.
• Chen Ping asked Xuan Zi about the item he had assigned him and Du Busi to study, and Xuan Zi said their research had made progress.

Shrek Academy had transformed Shrek City’s four walls into hidden War Fortresses by embedding them with vast quantities of rare metals. The chapter explained that enormous mines in Star Dou Forest supplied more metal than the academy could use or sell, so the Elders chose to reinforce the city rather than keep expanding their warehouses.

• Shrek City’s walls had been rebuilt with soul tools and detection systems concealed beneath their ordinary exterior.
• Chen Ping’s map of super mining areas in Star Dou Forest had provided Shrek Academy with an overwhelming supply of rare metals.
• Shrek’s Soul Tool Department had struggled to use or sell the surplus without disrupting the market or exposing the mines.
• Shrek’s Elders had decided to hollow out the city walls and pack them with rare metals, turning them into four War Fortresses.

Shrek Academy prepared Shrek City for the approaching Star Dou Forest beast tide as Di Tian’s darkness spread across the sky. The soul beasts reached the city’s southern walls, and Xuan Zi and the Sea God Pavilion Elders arrived to face them.

• The Elders approved reinforcing Shrek City's walls with rare metals, and the depot inside the South City Wall became a Staff Headquarters.
• Elder Song, Xuan Zi, and Du Busi monitored the beast tide through High-Altitude Detectors as the sky over Star Dou Forest darkened unnaturally.
• Shrek City's City Defense Army deployed defensive soul tools and locked down the city, preparing its three thousand soul masters and seven thousand ordinary members for battle.
• The soul beast army advanced toward the southern walls in formation, and Shi Xing felt excited to test Shrek City's defenses against it.
• Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and the other Sea God Pavilion Elders descended onto the southern walls as the vanguard approached within ten kilometers.

Xuan Zi confronted Di Tian above Shrek City as Star Dou Forest’s beast tide threatened the academy. Di Tian blamed humans for the deaths of more than five hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, while Xuan Zi accused evil soul masters from the Sun Moon Empire and denied that Shrek had broken the treaty.

• Xuan Zi assessed the enormous beast tide and feared the Sun Moon Empire would exploit Shrek’s forces being trapped in the city.
• Xuan Zi left Elder Song in command and rose into the sky, using his roar to halt the soul beast army briefly.
• Xuan Zi and Di Tian clashed their auras above the city without letting their power reach the forces below.
• Di Tian accused humans of breaking the treaty by hunting more than five hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in Star Dou Forest.
• Xuan Zi blamed the killings on evil soul masters from the Sun Moon Empire and argued that their actions did not mean Shrek had broken faith.
