• Qian Duoduo explained that Shrek had heavily supported Yan Shaozhe, and Lu Yu concluded that Yan’s influence would obstruct his plans to advance the commoner faith route through Shrek.

Huo Yutong, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan tried to leave Shrek without Mu En discovering their plans, but their packed dorm room exposed them. Huo Yutong made Mu En believe Lu Yu had been wronged, and the furious Dragon God Douluo prepared to intervene before she revealed that Lu Yu had cheated.

• Xiao Xiao told Mu En that the girls were helping Lu Yu test a new Soul Tool, while Tang Ya got him to approve a three-day leave.

Lu Yu left Shrek Academy with his companions and reached the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s Star Dou Great Forest branch, where Elder Chen welcomed him to a newly prepared Soul Tool Workshop. The workshop occupied an entire building, though Lu Yu was unsure whether the sect’s purchased equipment would meet his needs.

• Mu En found the Soul Tool Department corridor empty, then went to Lu Yu’s dormitory and discovered he was gone.
• Lu Yu and his companions left a letter for Ning Tian and traveled by Soul Beast Carriage to the sect’s branch in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Lu Yu learned that the sect had renovated its former branch headquarters and assigned the entire building to his workshop.
• The sect’s Soul Engineers had struggled to understand Lu Yu’s research, then bought every kind of Soul Tool equipment they could find to prepare for him.
• Lu Yu followed Elder Chen inside and wondered whether the mostly market-bought equipment would be adequate.

Lu Yu accepted the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s offer after discovering its collection of soul guidance devices, including a Level 8 Soul Power Recovery Platform that could let him and Elder Yi make stronger soul tools. At Shrek, Ning Tian prepared to return to the sect with Wu Feng, while Mu En waited for Lu Yu, unaware that he had already left.

• Lu Yu agreed to stay with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect after Elder Chen promised him access to its soul guidance devices and equipment.

• Mu En waited outside Shrek’s dormitory for Lu Yu, mistakenly thinking he had stayed at an inn, and complained about the chicken leg he had stolen from Xuan Zi.

Lu Yu completed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s Dragon Bloodline Purifier and chose a rare Soul Bone for Xiao Xiao. After Ning Tian confirmed they were hiding near the Star Dou Great Forest, Mu En woke to find Lu Yu gone and worried that he had lost his successor.

• Mu En woke from a nap, found Lu Yu missing from his dormitory, and struggled to believe that Lu Yu had left Shrek Academy.

At the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Lu Yu presented Sect Master Ning with a vast rare-metal vein, prompting Ning to pledge the sect's resources to secure two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones; Ning Tian's teasing then gave Lu Yu an idea about a treasure-filled place he might investigate.

• Mu En decided to search for the missing children, and Qian Duoduo arrived looking for him after failing to find Huo Yutong and Xu Tianzhen and losing funding to Yan Shaozhe.

• Lu Yu consulted Elder Yi about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and learned that he needed divine power to investigate whether Tang San had concealed a God's Trial site there.
• Lu Yu postponed the expedition, planned to explore the Far North for divine power, and gave Xiao Xiao a sixty-thousand-year Emperor Black Jade Flood Dragon Left Leg Bone to absorb.
• Xiao Xiao absorbed the soul bone and gained a skill that transformed the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron's potential into a domain that restricted Lu Yu's movement unless he knelt.
• Xiao Xiao attacked Lu Yu with her cauldron, but Lu Yu fused his martial souls into a larger Clear Sky Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, knocked hers aside, and used suction to prevent her from retrieving it.

• Mu En scolded Qian Duoduo for failing to tell him about Lu Yu’s treatment, then flew to Sea God Island.
• Yan Shaozhe blamed the Soul Tool Department’s funding demands for Xuan Zi’s missing chicken-leg allowance, and Xuan Zi agreed to help him reclaim the money.
• Mu En demanded to know why the freshman champion team had received only one core disciple slot, and Yan Shaozhe defended his decision by criticizing the Blue Silver Grass and Spirit Eyes Soul Masters.
• Yan Shaozhe offered to compensate the two students after Mu En said they had left, but Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe argued that apologizing would harm Shrek’s glory.
• Mu En said he had demonstrated Ruling the World to the three students and they had mastered its essence in one afternoon, then threatened to remove Yan Shaozhe as dean if they were not found.

Mu En removed Yan Shaozhe as dean until he brought back three students who had grasped the intent of Ruling the World, and appointed Zhang Lexuan as acting dean. Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi then plotted to earn Mu En’s approval by organizing a major Soul Hunting expedition, while Yan Shaozhe planned to claim a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone for Xiaotao.

• Ning Tian told Lu Yu that his carriage to Dragon City was ready and that he could travel from there to the Far North.

Lu Yu met up with Wu Feng, who had fled her reassignment to the Star Luo Empire, and took her with him toward Dragon City. There, Vina and Xue Linglan were headed to an academy amid a secret agreement to divide a vast rare-metal vein, while other factions began converging on the area.

• Wu Feng caught up with Lu Yu’s carriage and explained that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had transferred her to the Star Luo Empire, so she had sneaked away rather than remain separated from Ning Tian and Lu Yu.
• Lu Yu agreed to let Wu Feng travel with them, and she pulled the carriage whenever the soul beast horse needed to rest.
• Lu Yu, Huo Yutong, and Wu Feng traveled from the Star Dou Great Forest to the outskirts of Dragon City.
• The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Heavenly Dragon Sect, and Earth Dragon Sect traded information about a huge rare-metal vein for cooperation and soul bones from the Dou Ling and Heaven Dou Empires.
• The two empires and three sects divided the vein into nine shares, and Vina and Xue Linglan traveled to Dragon City to study at an academy as the mining plans drew people and rival factions to the region.

Lu Yu’s group was attacked by Evil Soul Masters while traveling, and Lu Yu rescued Vina and her companion while discovering that Vina possessed two Martial Souls suited to fusion. After absorbing their Martial Soul Fragments, he left the carriage to face the approaching Water Ghost Soul Master.

He rescued Mo Feiyun and two Soul Kings, found a Soul Ring Upgrade Token, and suspected the Holy Spirit Cult had a god backing it.

• Lu Yu killed Water Ghost with a Class 6 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, captured his soul, and used Simulation to create a convincing copy of him.
• Lu Yu’s simulated Water Ghost reached Elder Hun with Vina and Xue Linglan, claiming he had captured them and bargaining over the captives.
• Elder Hun gave Water Ghost a Soul Ring Upgrade Token, and Water Ghost swallowed Mo Feiyun and the two remaining Soul Kings with his black water.
• The princesses turned out to be Fixed Soul Cannon Shells, including a Class 8 shell, which detonated and engulfed Elder Hun, Water Ghost, and the others.
• Three kilometers away, Lu Yu used Water Ghost’s Martial Soul to release the unconscious Mo Feiyun and Soul Kings, then collected the Soul Ring Upgrade Token.
• Lu Yu concluded that the Holy Spirit Cult’s token suggested a god was backing it, likely the Rakshasa God, and wondered why Tang San had not intervened.

Lu Yu rescued Vina’s guards from the Evil Soul Masters and learned that their organization operated in the Sun Moon Empire with a Titled Douluo gathering intelligence near Dragon City. After arriving in the city, he took Huo Yutong to a nearby river to search for the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow that had made the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a million-year soul beast.

• Lu Yu traced unusually cold river water to the Earth Dragon Sect and learned from Tian Meng that its strongest member was a Soul Saint.
• Tian Meng discovered that Mu En was secretly following Lu Yu, so Lu Yu called him out.
• Mu En tried to persuade Lu Yu to return to Shrek Academy, but Lu Yu refused and pointed out that Shrek had benefited from the manual and technique he left behind.

• Mu En clarified that he wanted Lu Yu to eliminate Shrek Academy at any cost.

After Mu En realized the cult could have a Limit Douluo, Lu Yu proposed infiltrating it together, leaving Mu En stunned by the plan.

• Mu En explained that he wanted Shrek to lose its ten-thousand-year winning streak so its leaders would recognize the need for Soul Tools and let him reshape the academy’s leadership.
• Lu Yu revealed that he suspected a deity backed the Holy Spirit Cult and described its plan to capture two Far North Soul Beasts using God-Sealing Platforms.
• Tian Meng recognized that one of the targeted Soul Beasts was Bingbing and urged Lu Yu to bring her into their plan to become Gods.
• Mu En realized that absorbing the Soul Beast embryos could give Evil Soul Masters ultimate ice, twin martial souls, and immense power, and vowed to kill the cult members.
• Lu Yu warned that the Holy Spirit Cult might have a Limit Douluo, so killing its members could provoke an even more dangerous response.
• Lu Yu proposed that he and Mu En join the Holy Spirit Cult together.
