Tang San refused Zhao Wuji’s invitation to join Shrek Academy, and the two clashed when Zhao Wuji tried to overpower him. Tang San wounded Zhao Wuji with poisoned hidden weapons, then unleashed a self-created soul skill and launched a concealed attack that left Zhao Wuji facing a serious threat.

• Tang San sent the dragon-shaped vine at Zhao Wuji while concealing sharp grass leaves aimed at his throat, heart, and flank.

Tang San fought Zhao Wuji with his Blue Silver Azure Sky Dragon and hidden weapons, but Zhao Wuji gained the upper hand with gravity-based Soul Skills. Tang Tianlin then appeared and knocked Zhao Wuji unconscious with a single punch, leaving the Shrek students stunned.

• Zhao Wuji used his Immovable Bright King Body to block Tang San's attacks, but Tang San's dragon-shaped vine drove him back and drained his Soul Power.

Tang Tianlin defeated Zhao Wuji with one punch after protecting Tang San, leaving Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stunned by his strength. He forced Zhao Wuji to pay compensation, then confronted Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun for attacking Tang San.

• Xiao Wu pointed out that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had also attacked Tang San, and Tang Tianlin stopped them from slipping away.
• Ma Hongjun begged Tang Tianlin to spare them, but Tang Tianlin's dragon might made him collapse and bleed before he offered to pay compensation.

Tang Tianlin demanded payment from Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun in exchange for reducing the punishment of his punches. Ma Hongjun tried to borrow the remaining amount from Ning Rongrong, who reminded him that he had helped ostracize her.

• Tang Tianlin offered to spare Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from death if they paid him, with the punch's strength depending on their payment.
• Dai Mubai handed over his savings, but Ma Hongjun surprised him by offering three thousand Gold Soul Coins he had secretly saved.

Tang Tianlin defeated Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, then led Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan into the Star Dou Great Forest to find a fourth Soul Ring for Dugu Yan. He made the three younger Soul Masters fight a Man Faced Demon Spider without using Soul Skills, and Dugu Yan began her attack as Tang San restrained it.

• Tang Tianlin knocked Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun unconscious after Ning Rongrong refused Ma Hongjun's plea, and he left with Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan.
• Zhao Wuji watched Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing refuse to help lift the unconscious pair and concluded that the Shrek team was falling apart.

• Tang Tianlin ordered Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan to defeat the spider without using Soul Skills, and Xiao Wu led the attack while Tang San prepared to control it.
• Tang San's Dragon-Patterned Blue Silver Grass bound the spider despite its corrosive silk, and Dugu Yan charged its humanlike face with her Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon claws.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan defeated a three-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider and discovered it carried an External Soul Bone. Dugu Yan began absorbing the spider’s Soul Ring to claim the bone, while Tang Tianlin sensed a winged python approaching.

• Dugu Yan, Tang San, and Xiao Wu combined their attacks to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider.
• Dugu Yan found an External Soul Bone in the spider’s remains, and Tang San identified it as the rare Eight Spider Lances.

• Tang Tianlin sensed an approaching python with pale red wings and a fleshy crest.

Tang Tianlin stopped the Shrek group from claiming a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent that Chao Tianxiang had hunted for three days. He awarded the serpent to Chao Tianxiang, leaving Zhao Wuji and Oscar without the Soul Ring they had hoped to obtain.

• Tang Tianlin used his Dragon Might to knock the injured Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent unconscious, and Zhu Zhuqing recognized him.
• Zhao Wuji and the Shrek students arrived, recognized Tang Tianlin, and cautiously apologized for disturbing the group.
• Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran appeared, and Chao Tianxiang asked Tang Tianlin to let her claim the serpent she had wounded and pursued.

• Tang Tianlin ruled that the serpent belonged to Chao Tianxiang, and Zhao Wuji told the disappointed Oscar to find another Soul Beast.

Dugu Yan absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring, gained the Eight Spider Lances, and underwent a dramatic transformation as her power rose to level forty-three. As Tang Tianlin prepared to lead the group onward to find Tang San's Soul Ring, he sensed a powerful presence approaching and ordered everyone behind him.

• Zhao Wuji and the others left after Tang Tianlin claimed the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, while Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran thanked him before departing with it.
• Dugu Yan finished absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring, and the remaining medicinal power and dragon blood triggered a second physical transformation.

• Dugu Yan thanked Tang Tianlin and pledged her life to him, and he told the group to continue searching for Tang San's Soul Ring.
• Tang Tianlin sensed an exceptionally powerful presence approaching and ordered Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan to get behind him.

A Titan Giant Ape emerged before Tang Tianlin and the others, while the Shrek group spotted it and learned it was heading toward the senior. Xiao Wu stopped the giant ape from attacking, and its meek response left Tang San and Dugu Yan stunned.

• The Shrek group saw the giant ape charging through the forest, and Zhao Wuji identified it as a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.
• Dai Mubai realized the Titan Giant Ape was heading toward Tang Tianlin, while Ma Hongjun suggested exploiting a fight and Zhao Wuji rejected the idea.
• Zhao Wuji ordered the Shrek group to retreat quietly in the opposite direction.
• The Titan Giant Ape reached toward the group, but Xiao Wu rushed forward and called it Er Ming, making it withdraw its aggression and whimper meekly.

Xiao Wu revealed that she was a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit who had taken human form, and Tang Tianlin told Tang San that he was half Soul Beast as well. Tang Tianlin challenged Er Ming to a contest of strength for the chance to make one request, and Er Ming accepted after seeing a Dragon Heart Fruit.

• Xiao Wu introduced Er Ming as her friend and revealed her identity as a Soul Beast to Tang San and Dugu Yan.
• Dugu Yan accepted Xiao Wu without hesitation, while Tang San struggled to process the revelation.
• Tang Tianlin told Tang San that his mother was likely a Soul Beast who had taken human form, and Tang San accepted that he was half Soul Beast.
• Er Ming refused Xiao Wu's request to take Tang San along to find their fourth Soul Rings, so Tang Tianlin challenged him to a contest of strength.
• Tang Tianlin offered Er Ming a hundred-thousand-year Dragon Heart Fruit as the prize, and Er Ming agreed to the one-punch contest.
• Tang San stopped Xiao Wu from intervening and told her to trust Tang Tianlin.

Tang Tianlin defeated Er Ming in a contest of strength and persuaded the Titan Giant Ape to follow him. After Er Ming agreed to lead Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan to the Lake of Life, Tang Tianlin sensed a mysterious presence and stayed behind to confront it.

• Tang Tianlin sent Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan with Er Ming to obtain their Soul Rings, then stayed behind after sensing a mysterious aura and called for the watcher to reveal himself.

Di Tian brought Tang Tianlin to the Emerald Lake to meet the Silver Dragon King after revealing that a crystal had detected the Golden Dragon King's Power within him. The Myriad Demon King recognized Tang Tianlin as the Child of Nature, and a scarlet-gold figure suddenly lunged at him.

• Di Tian revealed that the Silver Dragon King’s crystal had tracked Tang Tianlin’s Dragon Clan aura and brought him through a spatial fissure to the Emerald Lake.

• Tang Tianlin felt his Golden Dragon King Blood Qi throb as a scarlet-gold figure burst through the bushes and lunged at him.

Tang Tianlin met the Silver Dragon King beneath the lake and argued that the Soul Beast Clan could not survive through slaughtering humans. He proposed becoming a god himself as another path, leaving the Silver Dragon King to consider his answer.

• Tang Tianlin argued that slaughter would provoke the Divine Realm and suggested that he become a god.

Tang Tianlin persuaded the Silver Dragon King to work with him, and she gave him her Reverse Scale before accepting the name Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena then drew dragon blood from Tang Tianlin and gave some to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to ease her injuries and strengthen the lion.

• The Silver Dragon King agreed to trust Tang Tianlin and gave him her Reverse Scale, which would let her intervene once if his life were in danger.
