• The teammates accepted their individual schedules, learned that medicinal potions would support their training, and agreed to begin immediately.

Meng Shenji brought Yang Yunhai’s training manual to Xue Ye, who strengthened Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s security and directed Xue Qinghe to prepare for the team’s training.

As rumors about Dugu Bo’s Martial Soul Evolution spread, Flender told Yu Xiaogang that the rare treasures behind it could have transformed his own Martial Soul.

At Shrek, Yu Tianheng learned what he had missed, while Tang San and Tang Hao considered the treasures and their implications; Tang Hao decided to wait until the academy’s New Year holiday.

After Spirit Hall's actions and Dugu Bo's retaliation damaged the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation, the clan's elders debated how to respond. They agreed to send Yu Luomian to Heaven Dou City to approach Dugu Bo and Tang San, while postponing any attack until after the Soul Master Competition.

• At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo reacted to news of Spirit Hall's swift move, and Yang Yunhai led the students out to train.
• Yu Yuanzhen told the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's elders that Yu Tianheng had joined Shrek Academy and that Tang San was Tang Hao's gifted son with Twin Martial Souls and powerful hidden weapons.

• Yu Yuanzhen approved Yu Luomian's mission, and the Grand Elder also suggested meeting Tang San to discuss doing business in hidden weapons.

Yu Luomian publicly beat Yu Tianheng to make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s displeasure clear, then advised him on protecting the clan’s interests and building alliances.

• Yu Luomian went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to seek Dugu Bo, but the gatekeeper turned him away; Dugu Bo then returned to refining medicine for Yang Yunhai’s team.

Shi Mo and the other Heaven Dou Royal Academy students began intensive training at their new grounds, while Shrek Academy continued its own training through the semester. As winter break arrived, Yang Yunhai shortened the team’s holiday to fifteen days, and Dugu Yan asked how he and Zhu Qing planned to spend it.
