After escaping the Star Dou Great Forest, the Shrek group rejoiced that everyone had survived, but Ye Lingling’s healing could not touch Ling Feng and a guardian’s attempt to examine him was repelled by a mysterious force. As Ling Feng’s system began extracting the divine and demonic remnants in his body and issued a quest to exploit Flender’s promise to pay for his treatment, Tang San woke and focused on the unconscious Ling Feng.

• Zhao Wuji and the others fled the Star Dou Great Forest with Ling Feng, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, then reunited with Flender and Grandmaster at the camp.
• Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar knelt before the unconscious Ling Feng and thanked him for saving them, while Oscar asked Grandmaster to help him become stronger.
• Ye Lingling healed Tang San, but her Nine Heart Begonia was repelled by the strange forces inside Ling Feng, and her guardian was driven back by a dark golden will.
• Ling Feng vomited blood that corroded Zhao Wuji’s clothes, and Flender promised to cover his treatment and expenses, easing the camp’s fear with his ledger and quill.
• Tang San woke and silently focused on Ling Feng, while the unconscious Ling Feng’s system extracted some residual powers, raised his Soul Power to level 21, and activated the Flender’s Ledger quest.

Ning Rongrong offered Ling Feng a guest elder position and unlimited resources from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but his whispered demand stunned her and summoned Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong. Gu Rong stopped Chen Xin from attacking and said the forbidden records Ling Feng wanted were not theirs to decide whether to give.

• Ning Rongrong formally invited Ling Feng to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a guest elder, offering him unlimited resources and personal instruction from a Titled Douluo.
• Ling Feng whispered a request to Ning Rongrong, leaving her shocked enough to call for Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone.
• Chen Xin and Gu Rong appeared, and Ning Rongrong revealed that Ling Feng wanted centuries of forbidden Martial Soul Fusion Skill experiment records and the elders' handwritten notes.
• Chen Xin erupted in killing intent and accused Ling Feng of coveting forbidden knowledge, but Gu Rong blocked his sword pressure and scrutinized Ling Feng's unusual wounds.
• Gu Rong said whether to give Ling Feng the requested records was not for him or Chen Xin to decide.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin recognized the terrifying powers inside Ling Feng, but Flender revived him by force-feeding him spoiled meat mush. Ling Feng woke hungry and appeared to accept Flender’s offer to join Shrek Academy, leaving Flender celebrating and demanding tuition.

• Gu Rong warned Chen Xin that Ling Feng contained remnants of angelic power, an Evil God Curse, and an even more powerful purple force.
• Ling Feng spat out dark blood and seemed to die, prompting Tang San and the others to cry out in despair.
• Flender forced Oscar’s spoiled sausage-and-minced-meat mush down Ling Feng’s throat, and Ling Feng’s life began to return as the powers inside him were consumed.
• Ling Feng’s stomach rumbled, and he opened his eyes with a desperate craving for food.
• Ling Feng weakly said “Franchise,” which Flender took as agreement to join Shrek Academy, then welcomed him and demanded five hundred Gold Soul Coins in annual tuition.

Ling Feng struggled to complete a check-in at Suotuo City's Heaven Dou Wind and Thunder Watchtower while Shrek Academy fought to get him there. The check-in saved him from immediate death, but the tower awakened and a strange red-marked crack opened beneath him.

• Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin took Ning Rongrong away after Flender demanded tuition from her.
• Ling Feng woke and pointed toward Suotuo City, so Zhao Wuji carried him toward the city with Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Flender following.
• Zhao Wuji smashed through Suotuo City's closed eastern gate and hurled Ling Feng toward the tower while guards shot Zhao Wuji and the others with arrows.
• Dai Mubai used White Tiger Annihilation Kill to propel Ling Feng to the tower, where Ling Feng touched it and completed his check-in, receiving a Star Core Fragment, 10,000 Gold Soul Coins, and the Phoenix Ashes gift pack.
• The Heaven Dou Wind and Thunder Watchtower shook and turned its tip toward Ling Feng and the wounded Zhao Wuji as a pitch-black crack with scarlet patterns spread through the tower wall beneath Ling Feng.

Ling Feng unleashed the Star Core Fragment to break the tower’s time-freezing power and burn away the Touch of Hatred, but the blast devastated the defenders and left him gravely injured. As Zhao Wuji and the others pulled Ling Feng from the tower’s contamination, a skeletal claw burst from its spire and reached for him.

• Ling Feng resisted the system’s ten-second soul-collapse countdown by releasing the Star Core Fragment’s energy, which blasted from his right eye and scorched the tower’s scarlet fissure.
• The blast broke the frozen scene, injuring Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others while Ling Feng collapsed in agony and Zhao Wuji realized the fissure remained dangerous.
• Ye Lingling called for Zhao Wuji to save Ling Feng, and Zhao Wuji pried him away from the tower with a broken wooden post.
• The scarlet fissure pierced Zhao Wuji with tendrils and began draining him, so Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun helped force Ling Feng clear with Ma Hongjun’s flames.
• A giant skeletal claw burst through the tower’s spire and reached down to seize Ling Feng as he tumbled away.

Ling Feng survived the bone claw’s attack when the system forcibly awakened and empowered him, letting him shatter it with a destructive hammer strike. As crimson tendrils surged toward the helpless group, a mysterious old man arrived and repelled them with a Nine Heart Begonia petal, then ordered everyone to leave.

• With Ling Feng on the brink of death, the system consumed its reserves, infused him with power, and loaded an enhanced Heavy Strike skill.
• Ling Feng summoned a dark gold hammer and shattered the bone claw, but collapsed as the system went dormant and the crimson fissure sent tendrils toward him.
• Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Flender, and Ye Lingling failed to stop the tendrils from reaching Ling Feng.
• A golden Nine Heart Begonia petal vaporized the tendrils and struck the crimson fissure, forcing it to contract and blur.
• An unknown hooded old man revealed the petal’s source and ordered the unauthorized people to leave, declaring it Spirit Hall business.

Zhao Wuji and the Shrek group tried to stop a gray-robed Spirit Hall elder from reaching the ominous fissure in the Heaven Dou Wind and Thunder Tower, but the Titled Douluo overwhelmed them. Ling Feng rose and summoned an illusory Clear Sky Hammer that shattered the elder’s finger and drove him away, while the presence inside the fissure reacted to the hammer with fear and greed.

• Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Flender, and Ye Lingling prepared to fight the gray-robed elder, who remained focused on the fissure in the tower wall.
• Zhao Wuji led the Shrek group in an attack, but the elder crushed them with his Soul Power pressure and approached the fissure.
• Ling Feng forced himself up and summoned an illusory Clear Sky Hammer, startling the elder, who recognized it as the Clear Sky Hammer.
• Ling Feng hurled the phantom hammer at the elder, and it shattered his index finger before he could touch the fissure.
• The horrified elder fled Suotuo City, while the scarlet light inside the fissure trembled and seemed to feel fear and greed.

Ling Feng used a Clear Sky Hammer phantom to drive off the gray-robed elder, but the fissure's tentacle fed ancient thunder energy into his ruined right eye before disappearing. The Shrek group survived and faced the prospect of dealing with the damage before Suotuo City's authorities arrived.

• The gray-robed elder overwhelmed Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Flender, and Ye Lingling before reaching for the fissure in the tower wall.
• Ling Feng rose and threw a Clear Sky Hammer phantom at the elder, shattering his finger and frightening him into fleeing Suotuo City.
• The fissure sent a tentacle toward unconscious Ling Feng, but the strange power in his right eye socket made it divert and absorb the lightning-bearing bronze brick.
• The tentacle poured the extracted energy into Ling Feng's right eye socket, and the fissure vanished.
• Flender realized Ling Feng had torn apart the tower and worried about the city guards and the city lord's manor arriving.

Zhao Wuji confronted Suotuo’s guards after the battle at the Wind and Lightning Tower, and city lord Xiao Tiannan offered the injured Shrek group help after recognizing clues in Ling Feng’s wounds. Ling Feng was taken away for treatment, while his system began analyzing the strange energy in his right eye socket.

• A city guard officer ordered Flender and the others arrested, but Zhao Wuji broke free from the wall and revealed that he was a level seventy-six Soul Saint whose students had been attacked by something inside the tower.
• Xiao Tiannan arrived and, after examining Ling Feng’s missing right eye, offered a thousand-year blood ginseng, an investigation, and lodging for the Shrek group.
• Zhao Wuji and the others left in a carriage with Ling Feng, while Xiao Tiannan ordered his aide to keep the incident secret and investigate the gray-robed man and Ling Feng’s origins.
• Zhao Wuji told Flender that Xiao Tiannan feared whoever stood behind Ling Feng and the thing inside the tower.
• A dark golden speck pulsed in Ling Feng’s right eye socket, and his system detected the ginseng’s energy, restored one percent energy, and began analyzing an abnormal reaction there.

Ling Feng discovered that his ruined right eye socket contained four dangerous forces held in a fragile balance, while his Martial Souls were dormant and his body was barely recovering. As he regained slight control of a finger, the system detected a hostile Soul Douluo or stronger approaching his room, and the energies in his eye began to stir again.

• Ling Feng absorbed the thousand-year blood ginseng through his right eye socket, briefly stabilizing its energies while repairing only 0.1% of his injuries.
• The system identified the forces in Ling Feng’s eye as Star Core Embers, Abyssal Whisper contamination, a Tower Spirit Core fragment, and his damaged Clear Sky Hammer Origin imprint.
• Ling Feng learned that his Clear Sky Hammer was dormant and his Blue Silver Grass remained unawakened, then suppressed his panic to keep the eye’s fragile equilibrium intact.
• Ling Feng concealed his abnormal eye socket when Ye Lingling and Flender visited, and overheard that Zhao Wuji had sealed its presence and the City Lord’s Manor wanted the incident kept quiet.
• Ling Feng carefully guided residual power through his damaged meridians and regained enough control to move one finger.
• The system detected a concealed, hostile Soul Douluo-or-higher presence approaching Ling Feng’s room, destabilizing the forces in his right eye.

Ling Feng’s eye socket discharged a black-and-red ray that wounded a hidden Soul Douluo and drove him away, leaving Zhao Wuji and Flender shaken. While Ling Feng remained unconscious, his consciousness entered a memory of the Heaven Dou Wind and Thunder Tower, where an unknown entity noticed and marked him.

• Ling Feng ordered the system to vent the unstable energy through his right eye socket, firing a black-and-red ray at the hidden Soul Douluo.
• The ray pierced the Soul Douluo’s defensive shield and withered his arm, forcing him to sever it and flee.
• Zhao Wuji and Flender arrived, found the fleeing figure and the corroding remains of the severed arm, and suspected Ling Feng had wounded the Soul Douluo.
• Zhao Wuji reinforced the seal around Ling Feng’s right eye socket while he and Flender agreed to keep what they had witnessed secret.
• Ling Feng’s consciousness entered a simulated memory of the Heaven Dou Wind and Thunder Tower, where Spirit Hall elders sealed a writhing lump of flesh inside a bronze vessel.
• One elder looked directly at Ling Feng, and the system reported that an unknown entity had marked his consciousness.

Ling Feng discovered that the Wind and Lightning Tower had been powered by the sacrificed souls of at least a thousand people, and a Spirit Hall elder had marked him after he witnessed the tower’s secret. As the sealed entity beneath the tower reached toward the Abyssal Whisper in Ling Feng’s eye, his Clear Sky Hammer Imprint repelled it, leaving the entity convulsing in fear.

• Ling Feng escaped the tower’s memory illusion when the Star Core Embers briefly severed the elder’s surveillance mark, and the system identified the sealed flesh beneath the tower as an aggregate made from sacrificed souls.
• Ling Feng learned that the tower’s seal had loosened and that its escaping power could destabilize the Abyssal Whisper in his right eye, so he sought ways to recover his strength and considered asking Shrek Academy for help.
• A hidden Spirit Hall elder watched Ling Feng through a crystal ball and ordered a plan adjustment after detecting his Clear Sky Hammer heritage and connection to the Holy Infant and the Abyss.
• Xiao Tiannan received a secret command to suppress the tower incident, watch Ling Feng, and help him when necessary, leaving him fearful of the forces involved.
• Ling Feng made a small gain in repairing his meridians before the sealed entity tried to connect with his right eye, and the Clear Sky Hammer Imprint repelled it as the entity convulsed beneath the tower.

Ling Feng used the Clear Sky Hammer’s lingering presence to persuade Xiao Tiannan to provide rare medicines, then began absorbing earth core jade marrow to repair his injuries. As conflicting forces stirred inside his right eye, a mysterious old man detected unusual energy in Suotuo City and set out to investigate.

• The Clear Sky Hammer imprint suppressed the Abyssal Whisper but weakened further, leaving Ling Feng determined to find a source of energy.
• Xiao Tiannan visited Ling Feng with Dragon Blood Lingzhi and earth core jade marrow, then sensed Clear Sky Hammer energy while examining him and promised more medicines.
• Ling Feng had the system devise an absorption plan, and Ye Lingling gave him a drop of earth core jade marrow that he guided into his damaged meridians.
• The Abyssal Whisper tried to steal the medicinal energy, but the Tower Spirit Core fragment drew it away, allowing Ling Feng to restore some bodily functions.
• The system warned that Ling Feng’s recovery was upsetting the balance among the energies in his right eye and could cause a leak or backlash.
• An old man in a poisonous valley detected unusual energy near Suotuo City and vanished into the miasma to investigate.

Dugu Bo invaded Ling Feng’s room to seize the strange power within him, forcing Ling Feng to unleash unstable energy from his right eye. The energy spiraled out of control, and Ling Feng fell unconscious as it began spreading through his body.

• Dugu Bo appeared at Ling Feng’s room and used his pressure to injure Zhao Wuji, overwhelm Flender, and make Ye Lingling faint.
• Dugu Bo demanded that Ling Feng be handed over, hoping to obtain the powers hidden in his right eye.
• The Tower Spirit Core fragment and Abyssal Whisper fused under Dugu Bo’s poison pressure, and Ling Feng directed their energy at him.
• Dugu Bo’s poison shield was corroded by the gray-black ray, making him wary but more interested in capturing Ling Feng.
• Zhao Wuji attacked Dugu Bo’s giant green hand and was gravely injured, while the power in Ling Feng’s right eye erupted and dispersed the hand.
• Ling Feng lost consciousness as his power balance collapsed, and the system warned that the energy was spreading through his body and he had three minutes to live.

Ling Feng survived the collapse of his meridians when the system forced the energies in his right eye to form an unstable vortex, but the system went dormant and the vortex began draining his life. As Ning Fengzhi and the Douluo guarded him, Ling Feng sensed a distant resonance and briefly subdued a clash between the vortex and his Clear Sky Hammer origin mark, while a Spirit Hall elder noticed the new presence.

• Ling Feng ordered the system to stake all his energy and potential on a forced integration, creating an unstable gray-white vortex in his right eye socket and halting his collapse.
• Dugu Bo tried to seize Ling Feng, but Chen Xin arrived, destroyed his Soul Power hand, and drove him away.
• Ling Feng regained consciousness and used the vortex's Energy Perception to sense those around him and communicate with Chen Xin through mental voice transmission.
• Ning Fengzhi began treating Ling Feng while Gu Rong guarded the compound, and Ling Feng sensed a faint resonance between his vortex and something near the Wind and Lightning Tower in Heaven Dou City.
• The system entered dormant repair, and Ling Feng briefly restrained a clash between the vortex and his Clear Sky Hammer origin mark by commanding them both to stop.
• A red-robed Spirit Hall elder saw his crystal ball crack, sensed the new chaotic presence near Suotuo City, and ordered more sacrifices.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ye Lingling carried the gravely wounded Ling Feng toward Heaven Dou City, where the Wind and Lightning Tower might help sustain him. During the flight, Ling Feng learned to control the corrosive power in his right eye and use it to repair his body, but Dugu Bo blocked the flying boat before it could reach the city.

• Ning Fengzhi used the Soul-Warming Jade while Ye Lingling tried to heal Ling Feng, but his condition remained critical, so they decided to take him to the Wind and Lightning Tower in Heaven Dou City.
• Ning Fengzhi summoned the Glazed Tile Flying Boat, and he, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ye Lingling escorted Ling Feng toward the imperial palace while Zhao Wuji and Flender stayed behind to recover.
• Ling Feng examined the grayish-white vortex in his right eye, discovered its power to assimilate and convert energy, and used it to consume residual toxins and begin repairing his meridians.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ye Lingling noticed Ling Feng's presence strengthening as he gained control of the vortex, while Dugu Bo secretly followed the flying boat and a red-robed elder plotted around the Wind and Lightning Tower.
• Dugu Bo blocked the flying boat with poisonous mist and demanded that Chen Xin hand over Ling Feng, threatening that none of them would leave otherwise.

Dugu Bo ambushed the flying boat carrying Ling Feng, Ning Fengzhi, and Ye Lingling, but Ling Feng’s right eye began devouring the poison and energy around them. As Dugu Bo attacked the weakened boat, Ling Feng unleashed a corrosive ray that wounded his serpent avatar, then collapsed as reinforcements arrived.

• Dugu Bo trapped Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, Ling Feng, and Ye Lingling in his Poison Domain with four Jade Phosphorous Guard commanders.
• Chen Xin and Gu Rong fought Dugu Bo and the Jade Phosphorous Guard while Ning Fengzhi protected the flying boat and Ling Feng’s right eye began absorbing poison power.
• Ling Feng’s right eye converted the poison into energy, healing his meridians and forming a potent gray-green venom, while Dugu Bo escalated the battle with his Martial Soul Avatar.
• The clash between the three Martial Soul Avatars intensified Ling Feng’s uncontrolled hunger, causing his right eye to drain energy from the boat’s defenses and Ning Fengzhi’s Soul Power.
• Dugu Bo struck the weakened flying boat with his serpent avatar’s tail, but Ling Feng fired a gray-green ray that corroded a hole through it and wounded Dugu Bo.
• Ling Feng lost consciousness after the attack as Dugu Bo reeled from the backlash and Heaven Dou’s reinforcements approached.

Ling Feng's right-eye vortex absorbed the life force beneath the Wind and Lightning Tower, triggering the ancient seal and nearly consuming his consciousness. He used a system sign-in to stabilize the power, but the thing beneath the tower awakened and targeted him.

• Dugu Bo retreated when Emperor Xue Ye and the Heaven Dou reinforcements arrived, and Xue Ye brought the unconscious Ling Feng to the Wind and Lightning Tower for healing.
• As Ye Lingling treated Ling Feng, his right-eye vortex began drawing in the tower's life force, disturbing the seal and turning the energy dark red.
• Ling Feng's vortex awakened and overwhelmed the secret chamber as the seal began to break, forcing Xue Ye to order an evacuation.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong tried to restrain Ling Feng, but a torrent of dark-red energy burst from the seal and engulfed the chamber.
• Ling Feng's power surged past level forty as his consciousness faded, but he signed in at the sealing core and received rewards that restored control and stabilized his power at level forty-five.
• A voice from beneath the seal called to Ling Feng and declared that he looked delicious.

Ling Feng helped reseal the World-Devouring Demon Source in the Wind and Lightning Tower, then received the ruined tower spirit’s inheritance and learned that his right-eye power could be controlled with the Nine-Pattern Demon Sealer Art. As he traveled with Ning Fengzhi toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the demon source secretly marked him, and a dark figure began conspiring with it to break the seal and kill him.

• The dark red entity attacked Ling Feng, but he used a Nine-Pattern Demon-Sealing Talisman while Xue Ye, the imperial retainers, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi reinforced the tower’s seal.
• Ling Feng used a Tower Spirit Fragment to contact the ruined tower spirit, learned the tower contained the World-Devouring Demon Source, and received the Nine-Pattern Demon Sealer Art and a Tower Seal.
• Ling Feng agreed to travel to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to recover, while Ning Fengzhi invited him to compete for the sect in the Soul Master Tournament and offered resources, including research notes on divine power.
• On the journey, Ling Feng found that practicing the Nine-Pattern Demon Sealer Art weakened the devouring power in his right eye.
• After Ling Feng left, a dark red eye escaped from the fissure and watched him depart.
• A dark figure entered the tower ruins, sent poison gas into the fissure, and offered to help the demon source break the seal in exchange for killing Ling Feng.
