• Jing Hongchen examined Ma Xiaotao and then claimed he could not help, while Mu En and Yan Shaozhe suspected he had secretly tampered with her and planned to extort compensation.

Mu En negotiated a student exchange with Jing Hongchen, took Soul Tools from him, and helped Ma Xiaotao remove a hidden tracking device. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Xiao failed to absorb a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear’s Soul Ring and External Soul Bone, so Huo Yuhao absorbed the bone with Minghui’s help before the group continued searching for a Spirit Attribute Soul Beast.

• Mu En agreed with Jing Hongchen to exchange students for three years, with Jing Hongchen staying at Shrek Academy as a hostage until the students returned.
• Mu En demanded a Level 9 Soul Tool as an admission fee, while Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo recovered the eight other Soul Tools Jing Hongchen had placed around the academy.

• Minghui identified the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hunting a Twin Cyclops Giant, and Xuan Zi subdued her despite Minghui's warning not to harm her.

• Minghui teased the captive Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who tried to threaten him with bad luck but saw that he and Huo Yuhao both radiated immense Fortune Power.

Minghui won the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s trust with the Light of Life and gave her a letter that could help Soul Beasts produce Divine Beasts. After Scarlet King returned and agreed to leave a Purple Spirit Wolf for Huo Yuhao, Minghui invited both beasts to stay for a demonstration of the letter’s contents.

Minghui guided Huo Yuhao through an equal contract with the Purple Spirit Wolf, turning it into a Soul Spirit that could provide a soul ring and fight alongside him. After explaining the system’s promise and risks to Xuan Zi and the Star Dou Great Forest representatives, Minghui prepared to return to the academy while Scarlet King left to report to Di Tian.

• Scarlet King left with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to report the proposal to Di Tian, and Minghui’s group packed up to return.

Di Tian investigated Minghui’s Soul Spirit System proposal and sought information about him from A Tai.

• Di Tian read Minghui’s letter outlining the Soul Spirit System and sent Scarlet King to escort the Three-Eyed Golden Lion away before leaving to investigate.

There, he reported to the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life that Tang San had secretly placed Divine Sense in Wang Dong’s Spiritual Sea to influence her.

• Di Tian supported the Soul Spirit System and planned to send Bi Ji to the Soul Spirit Hall while asking Myriad Demon King or Demon Spirit to become Minghui’s Spirit-type soul spirit and monitor him.
• Minghui used Time Reversal on a captured Evil Soul Master but found only that the Holy Spirit Cult had sent the Soul Douluos as expendable cannon fodder.

Xuan Ziwen offered Arthas a place in Mingde Hall if he joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, but Arthas said he had a reason to remain at Shrek Academy.

• Lin Jiayi told Jing Hongchen that Arthas had exceptional physical abilities and a soul bone, He Caitou had Soul Emperor-level physical qualities, and Huo Yuhao might possess an External Soul Bone.
• Arthas and the other exchange students met their teachers after Lin Jiayi explained the academy’s rules and procedures.

• Xuan Ziwen offered Arthas direct admission to Mingde Hall if he left Shrek Academy, and Arthas said he had a reason he had to remain there.

The chapter ended with Xuan Ziwen arriving to find Arthas had subdued all four students, and Arthas warning one of the injured men that he had shown restraint.

• Xuan Ziwen arrived and found the students beaten; Arthas explained that he had acted in self-defense and warned one of the men that he had held back.

After Arthas injured Wang Shaojie, Xuan Ziwen shielded him from royal pressure by arranging for him to leave on a Soul Tool test with Ju Zi and Keke. As they flew toward the Jingyang Mountain Range, Arthas spoke with Ju Zi about their shared enemies and insisted he could avenge himself with enough time.

• Arthas accepted Xuan Ziwen’s attempt to settle the conflict with Wang Shaojie but secretly sent a gray mist into Wang’s trouser leg.
• Wang Shaojie complained to the royal family, and Xuan Ziwen told Arthas he would not hand him over but wanted him to leave with Ju Zi and Keke for a Soul Tool test.

After Keke struggled to defeat a Silver Wolf, Arthas killed it with swift precision, leaving both women stunned by his combat ability.

• Ju Zi explained that she might join the military to pursue her goal of taking revenge on Dai Hao, while Arthas questioned who was supporting her.
• Ju Zi brought Arthas and Keke to the Jingyang Mountain Range to test the All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool, and Arthas judged its design innovative but impractical.
• Ju Zi discussed the empire’s stalled Soul Tool research and asked Arthas what a ruler should do amid domestic conflict; he answered that war continued politics and said he refused to become another Dai Hao.
• Arthas took control of the Soul Tool and drove it across the rough terrain with remarkable skill, surprising Ju Zi and Keke.
• A Silver Wolf attacked, and Keke failed to defeat it, so Arthas charged in, knocked it down with his shield, and killed it with a Soul Tool sword.
