Dugu Bo won an Immortal Herb Knowledge Atlas in the Prize Machine, and Yue Guan revealed that he, Zhu Zhuqing, and Gui Mei possessed Divine Rings. Lin Yue hinted that the atlas’s familiar plants came from Dugu Bo’s own herb garden, leaving him to realize he might not know what grew there.

• Qian Daoliu asked Lin Yue to spar, and Lin Yue accepted a Gold Soul Coin before telling him to enter a Game Pod and say, “Accept challenge.”

Back at the shop, Qian Daoliu confirmed he had gained a second, weaker six-winged angel martial soul, shared a valuable prize with Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and they passed it to Zhu Zhuqing for her fifth soul ring.

• Qian Daoliu accepted Lin Yue’s challenge and fought him in the Arena, where Lin Yue used Mimicry to copy Qian Daoliu’s soul skills through numerous clones.
• After Lin Yue revealed that he still had recovery and copied-skill-enhancement abilities available, Qian Daoliu judged that he could not win and conceded.

• Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang encouraged the defeated Shrek Seven Devils, and Qin Ming arrived to greet his former teachers.
• Yu Tianheng asked Yu Xiaogang to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but Yu Xiaogang refused until he proved his path was right.

• Dugu Yan’s teammates agreed to inform their families about the shop but concealed the matter from Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming.
• The Shi brothers told their father and three elders about Dugu Yan’s Ten Thousand Year fourth Soul Ring and rapid Soul Power increase; after considering Dugu Bo’s involvement, the Shi Family began secretly searching Heaven Dou City.
• Other great families in Heaven Dou City likewise began discreet investigations, each hoping to find the Fortuitous Encounter Shop first.

Four clans arrived at Lin Yue’s shop hoping to claim its opportunity, but found powerful figures already gathered there and were invited inside to try its services. Lin Yue introduced snacks for sale, and Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran sampled them with delight.

• The Shi, Nine Heart Begonia, Ghost Leopard, and Yunling clan heads agreed to travel in disguise to the shop and seek its opportunity.

• Dugu Yan proposed having young people with twin Martial Souls demonstrate their abilities at Soul Fighting Arenas, and Lin Yue rewarded her with an Adaptive Origin Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Scroll.
• Lin Yue offered rewards for help carrying out the publicity plan, and after six days the young people departed in seven teams for cities and towns across the continent.
• Jiang Yu arrived at the shop after fleeing his family and wandering the continent for more than two years, then explained his origins to Lin Yue.
• Jiang Yu sold Lin Yue his Class Four offensive Soul Tool for 1,385 Gold Soul Coins and used a coin to enter a Game Pod.
• Jiang Yu searched the Martial Soul selection and found the Radiant Sacred Dragon.

Jiang Yu won a Divine Ring from the Prize Machine, gained access to divine power, and agreed to work temporarily at Lin Yue’s shop while he learned to use it. Later, Lin Yue announced the Arena’s ten-day reward, and Feng Xiaotian claimed first place and chose a Divine Ring.

• Jiang Yu used his draws to obtain the Radiant Life Ancient Tree and then won a Divine Ring, which Lin Yue explained let him wield divine power without raising his Soul Master level.

• Jiang Yu helped clear tables and introduced himself to the shop’s customers as a temporary worker while Zhu Zhuqing opened her Anywhere Door and brought in more visitors.
• Lin Yue secretly increased the Prize Machine’s overall odds, and customers began winning blue- and purple-quality items as Ning Fengzhi, Qian Daoliu, and others noticed the unusual streak.
• Lin Yue announced that Feng Xiaotian had ranked first in the Arena’s ten-day cycle and could choose any shop item as his reward.
• After the Godwind Academy dean urged him to choose the most valuable prize, Feng Xiaotian requested a Divine Ring, and Lin Yue granted it.

Feng Xiaotian rejected generous offers for the Divine Ring, used it to transform his Crimson Flame Demon Wolf into a source of divine fire, and kept the ring for himself. Later, Yu Xiaogang entered the shop with the Shrek group and provoked a heated dispute with academy deans after criticizing their students’ soul-ring choices.

• Ning Fengzhi and Qian Daoliu offered Feng Xiaotian great wealth and favors for the Divine Ring, while Dugu Bo presented two immortal herbs.
• Feng Xiaotian thanked the three seniors but refused their offers, choosing to keep the Divine Ring rather than disappoint Godwind Academy.
• Feng Xiaotian followed Lin Yue’s instructions and attached the Divine Ring to his Crimson Flame Demon Wolf, whose flames evolved into divine fire.
• Yu Xiaogang entered the shop with Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the Shrek Seven Devils, then criticized two young soul masters for supporting versatile soul-ring combinations.
• The students brought the Blazing Fire Academy and Godwind Academy deans into the argument, and the Godwind Academy Dean accused Yu Xiaogang of arrogance, narrow-mindedness, and ignorance.

Lin Yue challenged Yu Xiaogang to test his martial soul theories in the Game Pod, but Yu Xiaogang sent his disciple Tang San to fight instead. Lin Yue overwhelmed Tang San despite their shared Blue Silver Grass martial soul, leaving Yu Xiaogang stunned and Tang San conceding.

• Lin Yue confronted Yu Xiaogang over his theories and accepted his challenge to an arena match using the Game Pod.

• Tang San entered the virtual arena at level thirty and selected a black arm crossbow martial soul alongside his Blue Silver Grass.
• Tang San trapped Lin Yue with Spider Web Restraint and Blue Silver Entanglement, but Lin Yue broke free using Blue Silver Armor, Blue Silver Power Gathering, and Endless Circulation.
• Tang San conceded when Lin Yue approached, and Yu Xiaogang watched the defeat in disbelief as Tang San apologized to him.

After Tang San lost to Lin Yue, Yu Xiaogang agreed to fight him under rules that forced Lin Yue to use Luo Sanpao, hoping to exploit his familiarity with the Martial Soul. Lin Yue instead used defensive scales, gigantification, and repeated charges to overwhelm Yu Xiaogang, leaving him unable to evade the next attack.

• Yu Xiaogang blamed Tang San for his defeat, but Lin Yue demanded that Yu Xiaogang fight him next.
• Yu Xiaogang insisted on a rank-thirty match in which Lin Yue had to use Luo Sanpao, then chose the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon for himself in the Game Pod.
• The match rules locked both contestants to rank thirty and restricted them to Luo Sanpao; Yu Xiaogang selected Thunder Cannon and Lie Yan Breath, while Lin Yue chose Scale Armor Barrier, Gigantification, and Headlong Charge.
• Yu Xiaogang's Thunder Cannon and Lie Yan Breath failed to harm Lin Yue's protected Luo Sanpao, which then grew enormous and charged at him.
• Yu Xiaogang dodged two charges, but his Soul Power dwindled as his Luo Sanpao repeatedly shattered; Lin Yue launched a third charge, and Yu Xiaogang had nowhere left to dodge.

Yu Xiaogang lost to Lin Yue in the arena and left humiliated, while the Shrek group came to try the Twin Martial Soul service. When they confronted Zhu Zhuqing over leaving Shrek, she exposed the academy’s hypocrisy and left them speechless.

• Yu Xiaogang conceded, but Luo Sanpao’s momentum still sent him crashing into the arena barrier before he exited the arena.
• Yu Xiaogang dismissed his defeat as Luo Sanpao’s fault and vowed to apply his theories to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
• Flender paid Lin Yue for the Shrek members who still wanted to obtain Twin Martial Souls, and Lin Yue gave the extra Gold Soul Coins to Zhu Zhuqing.
• The Shrek group discovered Ning Rongrong at the shop, and Dai Mubai and Xinya criticized her for concealing her return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Xinya insulted Zhu Zhuqing, who slapped her and rejected Shrek; when Dai Mubai challenged her to explain herself, Zhu Zhuqing exposed Shrek’s lack of formal school procedures, Zhao Wuji’s wanted status, and the group’s fear of Lin Yue.

Tang Hao returned to the Clear Sky Sect and told Tang Xiao that a Mysterious Shop had restricted his cultivation, while offering the sect a chance to grow stronger through its benefits. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng followed Dugu Yan into the Arena and discovered her with the Heaven Dou Team, where he asked about the young man she had been with.

• Yu Xiaogang persuaded the Shrek members to stop dwelling on an outsider’s criticism, and those without twin martial souls obtained second martial souls from the Game Pods before leaving.
• Tang Hao returned to the Clear Sky Sect and explained to Tang Xiao that the shopkeeper had reduced his cultivation from level ninety-five to level eighty-nine and blocked his progress.
• Tang Hao told Tang Xiao that the Mysterious Shop could give the sect twin martial souls, increase soul power, and provide powerful armor, and that building a relationship with the shopkeeper might restore his former strength.
• Yu Tianheng saw Dugu Yan speaking intimately with Feng Xiaotian, followed them through a rune-covered doorway, and arrived at the Arena.
• Dugu Yan realized Yu Tianheng had followed her and asked the Heaven Dou Team who had revealed the information; Yu Tianheng then asked where the young man who had been with her had gone.

Dugu Yan rejected Yu Tianheng, while Tang Xiao brought the Clear Sky Sect to Lin Yue’s shop seeking to lift Tang Hao’s restriction. After failing to draw the required breakthrough tickets, Tang Xiao traded the Luo Sanpao martial soul to Ye Lingling for her ten-thousand-year soul ring ticket, and she asked Lin Yue about other ways to cultivate it.

• Dugu Yan told Yu Tianheng that their relationship was over, then entered a Game Pod as he and the Heaven Dou Team reacted.
• Tang Xiao arrived with Clear Sky Sect elders and disciples and offered Lin Yue a Golden Body Grass to ask him to lift Tang Hao’s restriction.
• Lin Yue refused to lift the punishment but said Tang Hao could regain rank ninety-five if Tang Xiao drew three Soul Power Breakthrough Tickets.
• Tang Xiao drew one Soul Power Breakthrough Ticket, a High-Tier Soul Power Recovery Potion, and the Luo Sanpao martial soul, but no additional breakthrough tickets.
• Ye Lingling offered Tang Xiao a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Ring Ticket in exchange for Luo Sanpao, and he accepted.
• Ye Lingling asked Lin Yue whether he knew any cultivation methods beyond the Luo Sanpao cultivation plan he had mentioned the previous day.
