• The Silver Dragon King agreed on the condition that Huo Yun not harm the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and Huo Yun began working to change the tribulation rules.

Huo Yun altered the heavenly tribulation rule targeting Soul Beasts, forcing Tang San to change it if he wanted to reclaim his authority. In the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion joined Huo Yuhao in a ritual to awaken his power of destiny, and they received a mysterious offer of help three times.

• Huo Yun modified the heavenly tribulation rule by merging Tang San's chain into it, making him bear the cost of changing it to reclaim his authority.
• Tang San discovered his authority had moved and sent two beams of blue-gold light toward the Douluo Continent, vowing to destroy Huo Yuhao's opportunities.
• Huo Yun returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and explained that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's origin would awaken Huo Yuhao's dormant power of destiny.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion pressed her Eye of Destiny against Huo Yuhao's third eye, and their joined powers formed a golden cocoon as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave Huo Yun his spiritual origin and Cast-off Husk.
• Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion entered a golden ocean and heard a nine-haloed figure say that he could help them three times when they were together.

• Huo Yuhao returned to Cao's Rice Bowl, where Uncle Cao angrily confronted him for disappearing for more than twenty days after leaving only a letter.

Huo Yun reassured Huo Yuhao that Tang San could not locate him and began teaching him the foundations of cultivation. She laid out a path centered on physique, Soul Power, and mind, and prepared practical training and Soul Tool plans for him.

Huo Yuhao tried making a Soul Tool for the first time at Zhao Xinghe’s workshop, where Zhao offered to take him as a disciple after discovering his unusually promising spiritual detection ability. Huo Yun warned him away from Shrek’s people and left him to consider what kind of world he lived in; Huo Yuhao returned to Cao’s Rice Bowl and resumed grilling fish.

• Huo Yuhao asked Zhao Xinghe to use a workshop, then failed at his first attempt to shape a Soul Tool.
• Zhao Xinghe experienced Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection Sharing and offered to teach him as his disciple, but Huo Yun urged Huo Yuhao not to get involved with the people behind Zhao.

• Huo Yuhao returned to Cao’s Rice Bowl and grilled fish for the waiting customers, including several for Strawberry.

Huo Yuhao joined Strawberry, Zhang Lexuan, Le Xin, Ma Xiaotao, Xixi, and Ling Luochеn for a meal and learned that the Shrek students initially looked down on him because they mistook him for a restaurant apprentice. On the way back, Huo Yun helped him connect their attitude to the treatment he had suffered at the Duke's Mansion, leaving him acknowledging that their arrogance deeply bothered him.

• Strawberry welcomed Huo Yuhao with excitement, and Zhang Lexuan introduced the Shrek students Ma Xiaotao, Xixi, and Ling Luochеn.

• Huo Yuhao agreed that their attitude bothered him.

• Huo Yun explained self-respect, strength, independence, self-love, and confidence, then pointed out how Huo Yuhao had failed to show them when Ma Xiaotao and the others affected his mood.
• Huo Yun reminded Huo Yuhao that he was their equal and urged him to stop kneeling emotionally and stand proudly; Huo Yuhao accepted her words and returned to his room to cultivate.
• Huo Yuhao used twelve Heavenly Treasures gathered by Di Tian and others to make a nourishing mixture, whose opposing ice and fire energies clashed inside the blender before settling.
• Huo Yuhao drank the entire mixture, and Huo Yun told Tian Meng to seal the excess energy so Huo Yuhao could absorb it gradually over more than a month.
• Huo Yuhao turned to a spherical soul tool designed to train his spiritual-power control, aiming to condense his Spirit Connection Realm power enough to lift it.

Huo Yuhao trained to improve his Spiritual Power control and quality, then was made to take a rest day after six days of intensive cultivation. With no plans, he went for a walk around Shrek City and joined some children playing marbles.

• Huo Yuhao struggled to move a spherical Soul Tool, and Electrolux explained that the exercise tempered Spiritual Power quality as well as control.
