At a banquet, Yu Xiaogang arranged for the Shrek Seven Devils and their teachers to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy so the team could enter the Pan-continental Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

• Tang San asked Zhu Zhuqing whether she came from the Nine Provinces and knew Tang Sect Secret Arts, but she said he had mistaken her techniques for his.
• Tang San demonstrated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eyes, and Mystic Jade Hand, and Zhu Zhuqing acknowledged their resemblance to her skills while maintaining they were different.

Tang San accused Zhu Zhuqing of stealing Tang Sect secret arts, but Su Mo exposed the differences between their techniques and challenged Tang San’s right to claim them. Su Mo then revealed knowledge of Tang San’s past and asked how Tang San knew martial arts Su Mo claimed to have created, leaving Tang San stunned and sweating.

• Tang San pressed Zhu Zhuqing to reveal who taught her techniques he believed were Tang Sect secret arts, while Zhu Zhuqing named Mystic Jade Body, Sun Moon Divine Eyes, and Fleeting Light Shadow and denied that they were the same.
• Tang San stopped Zhu Zhuqing from leaving and secretly resolved to take her techniques and kill her and Su Mo once he was strong enough.

• Su Mo named Tang San’s other secret arts and asked why he knew techniques from the Tang Sect in Nine Provinces.
• Su Mo claimed he had created the Tang Sect’s martial arts himself and demanded to know how Tang San knew them.

Su Mo revealed that he was Tang Sect founder Tang Qingtian reincarnated, and Tang San reluctantly accepted the claim after recognizing Su Mo’s superior versions of the sect’s arts. Su Mo pressed Tang San about his right to know the secret techniques, leaving Tang San kneeling and paying respects as both disciple and descendant.

• Tang San rejected Su Mo’s claim to have founded the Tang Sect, then reconsidered after comparing Su Mo’s martial arts with the sect’s secret arts.
• Su Mo explained his reincarnations, his origins in the Tang Family of Shu, and how he had founded the Tang Sect and created its martial arts.
• Su Mo questioned Tang San’s right to know the sect’s secret arts and let his killing intent show, so Tang San admitted he was a Tang Sect disciple and bowed to him as patriarch.
• Su Mo pointed out that Tang San owed him greater respect as an ancestor, and Tang San knelt and kowtowed to him.
• Su Mo laughed, welcomed Tang San as a member of the Tang Family, and told him to rise.

Su Mo convinced Tang San that he was the Tang Sect’s founding ancestor, then refused to teach him upgraded martial arts because Tang San had already taken Yu Xiaogang as his master. When Tang San asked about stronger hidden weapons, Su Mo claimed firearms and Gatling guns surpassed the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus, leaving Tang San eager to learn how they were made.

• Su Mo helped Tang San up after Tang San knelt and kowtowed, while the Royal Fighting Team watched in shock and Zhu Zhuqing kept Xiao Wu from interrupting.

• Tang San asked how to forge a Gatling, and Su Mo said ordinary steel and perhaps a few stones were enough.

Su Mo bluffed Tang San about firearms and Dugu Qiubai’s swordsmanship, then used a clone to return with the Royal Fighting Team while he headed to the Star Dou Great Forest. He found the beasts from Liu Erlong’s rebirth script, gained a new Soul Skill, and waited for Liu Erlong to arrive.

• Su Mo told Tang San that firearms could be made from ordinary materials and used Dugu Qiubai’s swordsmanship to suggest that weapons could transcend their materials, leaving Tang San intrigued but without the instructions he wanted.
• Su Mo sent a clone back with the Royal Fighting Team and went to the Star Dou Great Forest to arrange the encounter written in Liu Erlong’s rebirth script.

Liu Erlong led Blue Tyrant Academy teachers into Star Dou Great Forest to find a sixth Soul Ring for Shi Shan, and they killed a suitable Vajra Gorilla Bear. A Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear then attacked, and Liu Erlong was badly injured protecting the others just as Su Mo stepped in to save her.

• Liu Erlong brought Shi Shan and the other teachers into Star Dou Great Forest, hoping to find a suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast while following the course of events she remembered.
• The group found a Ten Thousand Year Vajra Gorilla Bear, and Liu Erlong and the teachers subdued it so Shi Shan could kill it and absorb its Soul Ring.
• As Shi Shan began absorbing the Soul Ring, a Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear arrived, and Liu Erlong ordered the others to flee with him while she held it back.
• Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Avatar could not harm the bear, and she was severely injured after closing in to stop it from pursuing the fleeing teachers.
• Su Mo finally intervened as Liu Erlong faced the same life-or-death crisis she remembered.

• Su Mo wounded the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear with Death Reaping, then overwhelmed it with his Death God Scythe and forced it to flee without pursuing it.
• Su Mo and Liu Erlong pretended to meet and recognize each other again, and Liu Erlong praised his rise to Titled Douluo.
• Liu Erlong’s injuries and Soul Power backlash caused her to collapse, and Su Mo caught her before she hit the ground.
• Su Mo carried Liu Erlong to a cave from her Rebirth Script, cleared the floor, and lit a bonfire as dusk arrived.
• Su Mo planned to treat Liu Erlong’s external wounds with medicinal ointment, but hesitated over the wounds on her chest and abdomen.

Just as Meng Shenji and the other committee members were preparing to accept Shrek Academy, Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing arrived to intervene, while Su Mo watched from nearby.

• Flender led Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils to Heaven Dou Imperial City, where Xue Beng's provocation sparked a fight and Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun beat him.
• Xue Beng told Prince Xue Xing that Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin, and Gu Xuan were among the Shrek students, and they worried Ning Fengzhi might intervene if they expelled the group outright.

• Su Mo learned that Shrek Academy had arrived and placed bird surveillance devices near the Three Education Committee's office to observe what Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing would do.
• Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin tested Tang San and the others and prepared to approve Shrek Academy's admission before Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing arrived.

Prince Xue Xing used Dai Mubai’s Star Luo Imperial House identity to block Shrek Academy’s admission to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, forcing Flender’s group to leave. They applied to Blue Tyrant Academy and learned that its headmaster was Liu Erlong, who returned with Su Mo as Yu Xiaogang looked forward to seeing her again.

• Prince Xue Xing arrived with Xue Beng and accused Shrek Academy of being unqualified and of assaulting the Fourth Prince.

• Qin Ming left Heaven Dou Royal Academy to accompany Shrek Academy, and the group chose to apply to Blue Tyrant Academy.
• Flender and Yu Xiaogang learned that Blue Tyrant Academy’s headmaster was Liu Erlong, who later returned with Su Mo.

Flender and the Shrek group arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy to seek teaching posts and reunite with Liu Erlong, while Yu Xiaogang expected her to welcome him with longing. Liu Erlong greeted him coolly, and the chapter ended when Su Mo appeared, leaving Yu Xiaogang shaken by the sight of Spirit Hall’s Holy Son beside her.

• Teacher Yin Shu invited Flender and the Shrek group to Blue Tyrant Academy after Liu Erlong returned.
• Flender and the others followed Yin Shu through the forest to Liu Erlong’s home, while Yu Xiaogang imagined how eagerly she would receive him.
• Liu Erlong greeted Flender warmly and agreed to consider the group’s application, but gave Yu Xiaogang only a restrained greeting.
• Su Mo appeared beside the Small Building with a fishing rod, and Yu Xiaogang recognized him as Spirit Hall’s Holy Son and struggled to believe what he saw.

Yu Xiaogang tried to use his past with Liu Erlong to persuade her to drive Su Mo out of Blue Tyrant Academy. Liu Erlong rejected his demand and slapped him in front of Flender and the others.

• Liu Erlong welcomed Su Mo and Flender warmly, then brought the Shrek Academy group to Blue Tyrant Academy's cafeteria.
• Liu Erlong agreed to Shrek Academy's conditions for joining Blue Tyrant Academy, while Flender arranged for Yu Xiaogang to speak with her privately.
• Yu Xiaogang apologized for making Liu Erlong wait and recounted his troubles, and Liu Erlong pretended to comfort him while hiding her resolve not to repeat her past mistakes.
• Yu Xiaogang argued that Su Mo's ties to Spirit Hall threatened Blue Tyrant Academy and his own safety, implying that Liu Erlong should send him away.
• Liu Erlong angrily demanded to know who Yu Xiaogang thought he was and slapped him in public, leaving Flender stunned.

Liu Erlong publicly rejected Yu Xiaogang’s attempts to reconcile and insisted she had moved on, while Yu Xiaogang tried to excuse his behavior and drive Su Mo away. After the onlookers learned about Yu Xiaogang’s past, Su Mo finally confronted him over his hostility toward Spirit Hall.

• Yu Xiaogang misread Liu Erlong’s anger as lingering affection, while Liu Erlong rebuked him for trying to make her drive Su Mo away.
• Flender tried to mediate and urged Liu Erlong to forgive Yu Xiaogang, drawing the attention of Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others.
