Yu Xiaogang arranged for the Shrek Team to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy in two months, then explained that Yang Yunhai’s strength came from a rare treasure that had evolved his Blue Silver Grass. Tang San learned that his former roommate had consumed the treasure and was left resentful over the unfairness of his defeat.

• Yu Xiaogang proposed an exchange with Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Flender eventually agreed that the Shrek Team would depart for Heaven Dou City in two months.
• Yu Xiaogang reassured Tang San after his defeat and revealed that Yang Yunhai’s growth came from a rare treasure rather than cultivation alone.
• Tang San recognized Yang Yunhai as his former roommate from Notting City Junior Spirit Master Academy and described his diligence and low Innate Soul Power.
• Yu Xiaogang described the black, jade-like bamboo shoot and speculated that Yang Yunhai had absorbed its medicinal power and inherited some of its traits.
• Tang San grew indignant that Yang Yunhai had obtained the treasure, while Tang Hao also regretted that Tang San could not have consumed it.

After hearing that several major powers had searched the mountains near Notting City for a rare treasure, Tang Hao worried that they might have found the place where he hid Ah Yin’s true body and Soul Bone. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang began planning the team’s training and singled out Ning Rongrong’s Heart Separation Control for improvement.

• Flender learned that the Martial Soul Hall, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had searched the mountains near Notting City, and Tang Hao feared their search might have reached Ah Yin’s hiding place.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San to study Yang Yunhai’s vine techniques, while Ning Rongrong questioned the Shrek team’s conduct and compared it unfavorably with Yang Yunhai’s effort and generosity.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Ning Rongrong to stay after the team’s second training phase ended, then questioned her about Heaven Dou City and her Heart Separation Control.
• Yu Xiaogang said Ning Rongrong’s training would focus on Heart Separation Control and told her that her current abilities failed to bring out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s full potential.

Yu Xiaogang urged Ning Rongrong to cultivate Heart Separation Control and asked her to consider letting Tang San train alongside her. Meanwhile, Dugu Yan continued avoiding Yu Tianheng, and Tang Hao discovered scratch marks on the hidden entrance behind the waterfall.

• Yu Xiaogang revealed that he wanted Tang San to learn alongside Ning Rongrong, and she agreed to ask her father before deciding.
• Qin Ming kept quiet about meeting Shrek, while Yang Yunhai noticed Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan acting awkwardly around each other.
• Dugu Yan sat out both matches in Silves City, and Yang Yunhai led the team to victory against the Fierce God Team.
• Tang Hao found numerous scratch marks on the stone wall behind the waterfall, opened the hidden door, and hurried inside.

Tang Hao found that someone had taken Ah Yin’s body and left a message in the cave, then reasoned that Spirit Hall was the likeliest culprit, though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were also suspects. He decided to investigate them later and travel to the Blue Silver King Forest to find Aura Concealing Grass that could hide Xiao Wu’s aura.

• Tang Hao discovered the cave had been opened and read the message accusing Spirit Hall of taking Ah Yin’s body and soul bone.
• Tang Hao concluded the culprit had probably taken Ah Yin to use her as leverage, and ranked Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as suspects.
• Tang Hao blamed Yang Yunhai and Yu Tianheng for helping draw the three major forces to the mountains, but decided to leave them as challenges for Little San.
• Tang Hao planned to watch Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong while finding other ways to investigate Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Tang Hao realized Xiao Wu might be exposed if Ning Fengzhi met Little San, so he set out for the Blue Silver King Forest to obtain Aura Concealing Grass.

Tang San tried to imitate Ning Rongrong’s soul-skill control but could not master it, while Yang Yunhai’s team prepared to return to Heaven Dou City. Dugu Yan asked to move in with Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing after breaking up with Yu Tianheng, and the chapter ended with the team setting out for the city.

• Tang San practiced controlling multiple vines, learned about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Heart Separation Control from Yu Xiaogang, and secretly watched Ning Rongrong train.
• Tang San tried controlling three vines at once but stopped when the effort left him dizzy, deciding to wait for Ning Rongrong to teach him the proper method.

• Dugu Yan told Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing that she had broken up with Yu Tianheng and asked to move in with them and train during the break; they agreed.

After the team split up for their month off, Yu Tianheng went to the Great Soul Arena to cope with his breakup while Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing trained at the academy. Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan to discuss the Nine Treasures Dragon Ganoderma, and Yang Yunhai explained how it could prepare her for Cross-Level Soul Ring Absorption.

• Dugu Bo decided to retrieve the Nine Rank Dragon Ganoderma and asked whether he should bring one back for Zhu Zhuqing as well.

Yang Yunhai advised Dugu Yan on choosing a control-focused Fourth Soul Ring and developing her poison-based skills, while Dugu Bo prepared to hunt a Medusa, Queen of Serpents. The chapter ended with someone secretly feeding Xiao Wu a plant, after which she asked Oscar for a Recovery Sausage because her throat hurt.

• Dugu Bo decided to delay Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's soul-ring hunt for another month while he continued absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.

• The next morning, Xiao Wu told Oscar that her throat hurt and asked him to make her a Recovery Sausage.

Yang Yunhai gave Zhu Zhuqing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red while Dugu Bo consumed the Cloud Immortal White Peony, and both waited as the two women absorbed their herbs.

• Dugu Yan came out of her room, leaving Dugu Bo delighted and Yang Yunhai amazed.

Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo revealed that their Martial Souls had evolved after consuming rare herbs, while Zhu Zhuqing finished absorbing hers and reached Soul Power level 30. Days later, Yang Yunhai secretly traveled to Heaven Dou City and delivered a letter to Salas at Spirit Hall using Chrysanthemum Douluo’s authorization token.

• Dugu Yan thanked Yang Yunhai for recommending the herb, then summoned her evolved Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul as she and Dugu Bo discussed their increased strength and poison.

• Dugu Bo left late that night, and the others continued training after sharing dinner.
• Several days later, Yang Yunhai bypassed the academy sentries, traveled to Heaven Dou City, and delivered a letter to Salas at Spirit Hall using Chrysanthemum Douluo’s authorization token.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo reported Dugu Bo’s discovery of two rare treasures to Bibi Dong, who recognized the political consequences and sought more information in exchange for a soul bone. Chrysanthemum Douluo agreed to provide a limited account, and he and Ghost Douluo left feeling that Bibi Dong had underestimated them.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted and said he would organize the oral records, while privately planning to share only part of the information.
• After leaving Pope’s Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged cold looks and resolved not to let Bibi Dong take them for granted.

Yang Yunhai cultivated by drawing lightning into his body, advancing his Soul Power while Yin'e endured the lightning’s effects. After the holiday, Yu Tianheng transferred to the second team following his breakup with Dugu Yan, who took leave to cultivate toward Rank 40.

• Yang Yunhai drew repeated lightning strikes during a storm, and Dugu Yan discovered his cultivation method as Zhu Zhuqing explained his Martial Soul’s Thunder Attribute and its flaw.
• Yin'e said she could no longer endure the lightning, so Yang Yunhai stopped; he later found that the session had raised his Soul Power above Rank 38 and might have strengthened Yin'e.

Dugu Bo described how Earth Power had helped him reach Level 94 and discussed Soul Bones and the path beyond Level 95. As Yang Yunhai raised possible enemies and asked about places beset by lightning for his next Spirit Ring, Dugu Bo named several locations, including a lightning-struck valley now controlled by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Dugu Bo told Yang Yunhai that Earth Power had helped him reach Level 94 and could let him break through to Level 95, while further advancement required Soul Bones and deeper understanding of his Martial Soul.
• Yang Yunhai suggested that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Tang Hao could become enemies, and Dugu Bo agreed they should consider acting against them carefully.
• Yang Yunhai said there was no need to rush because Dugu Bo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo were still growing stronger.
• When Dugu Bo asked about Yang Yunhai's next Spirit Ring, Yang Yunhai asked about places repeatedly struck by lightning.
• Dugu Bo described the Devil's Triangle, volcanic regions, and a valley in the Star Dou Great Forest where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had established a stronghold.

Yang Yunhai revealed his lightning-drawing ability and sought a Thunder Hell Vine to help solve his Martial Soul Flaw. He and Dugu Bo planned an expedition to search for one, and set out with Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing after arranging leave.

• Yang Yunhai told Dugu Bo that he had reached Soul Power level forty and explained his Martial Soul's abilities and how Blue Silver Grass energy aided his cultivation.

• Yang Yunhai requested leave to study spirit beasts under Dugu Bo, and Qin Ming approved it before the three departed.

Yang Yunhai assessed Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing’s physical limits for absorbing Soul Rings, then accompanied them and Dugu Bo to hunt a Medusa for Dugu Yan. As Dugu Yan absorbed the Soul Ring, Dugu Bo concluded that keeping her closely tied to Yang Yunhai was essential to preserving their trust and her access to his research.

• Yang Yunhai estimated that Zhu Zhuqing could absorb a Soul Ring of around 3,000 years and Dugu Yan one below 10,000 years, then recommended a strong, swift Soul Beast for Zhu Zhuqing’s Third Soul Ring.
• Dugu Bo led Yang Yunhai, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing to Sunset Forest and guided them past unsuitable Soul Beasts toward a canyon where Medusas lived.
• Dugu Bo poisoned a Medusa said to be over 9,000 years old and dragged it out of its nest for Dugu Yan to hunt.
• Dugu Yan killed the Medusa and began absorbing its purple Soul Ring while Dugu Bo watched over her.
• Dugu Bo reasoned that Dugu Yan needed to maintain a completely trusting relationship with Yang Yunhai to benefit from his Soul Ring research, and he considered how her future relationships might affect that trust.

Dugu Yan reached level 43 and gained the Petrification Gaze before Yang Yunhai, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan ventured into a poisonous valley in Sunset Forest to find a suitable spirit beast for Zhu Zhuqing. After several days of searching, Yang Yunhai sensed a spirit beast that seemed exceptionally suitable for her.

• Dugu Yan awoke from her breakthrough, reached level 43, and revealed that her new soul skill was Petrification Gaze.
• Dugu Bo led Yang Yunhai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan toward a dangerous, poison-shrouded valley where rare spirit beasts with dragon bloodlines lived.
• Yang Yunhai gave the group his Antidote Pills, and they entered the valley, where Dugu Bo explained its dangers and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's interest in its subdragon spirit beasts.
• The group searched for four days but found no suitable spirit beast, as the beasts were unusually sparse and their cultivation levels or types did not fit.
• On the fifth day, the group followed a distant roar, and Yang Yunhai sensed a spirit beast that he said was exceptionally suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.
