Jiang Xia entered the Spirit Ascension Platform to study Gu Yue’s Four-Element Vortex, but discovered that his Broken Dream had changed after absorbing an illusory space. By using Broken Dream to fuse that space with the Spirit Ascension Platform, he gained much greater control and a deeper perception of the elements.

As Class Zero began its final exams, Wu Zhangkong announced that the first stage would take place during the Spirit Ascension Platform's unrest period and kept the second stage secret.

• Jiang Xia, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin entered the Spirit Ascension Platform together, with Tang Wulin taking the front while Jiang Xia and Gu Yue attacked with Elemental Control.
• The trio encountered mostly weak soul beasts, and they divided the spiritual power gained according to their contributions; Jiang Xia's Soul Spirits each gained fifty years of cultivation.

• Wu Zhangkong withheld details of the second stage, while Jiang Xia suspected it would take place in the Tang Sect's Hall of Heroes.

Jiang Xia led Class Zero through the Spirit Ascension Platform, where the six worked together to hunt soul beasts and used Gu Yue to lure many into a Man Faced Demon Spider’s poisonous silk. After sharing the resulting spiritual power, they noticed Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan approaching to investigate.

• Jiang Xia and Class Zero endured repeated soul beast attacks during the riot, then were eliminated by four three-ring Soul Elders who had driven the beasts toward them.
• Gu Yue noticed Jiang Xia's suspicions about the four Soul Elders, but he told her only that they looked familiar.
• Wu Zhangkong took Class Zero to the Tang Sect and sent them into the Hall of Heroes, where the next assessment was to last as long as possible.
• Jiang Xia was matched against Huo Yuhao, whose ultimate ice forced him to evade with wind and ice before he simulated wings, rare metals, and core formations to create soul tools.

Jiang Xia cleared the Tang Sect’s Hall of Heroes assessment and learned how its virtual world modified stats, but declined the Tang Sect’s invitation because he had joined the Spirit Pagoda. On the train to Heaven Dou City, he confronted Wu Zhangkong about Long Bing’s appearance among the evil soul masters connected to his parents’ deaths, leaving Wu Zhangkong to promise an investigation.

• Jiang Xia emerged from the Hall of Heroes after enduring Huo Yuhao’s attacks until his Soul Power was exhausted, and Wu Zhangkong confirmed that he had cleared the assessment.
• Jiang Xia reflected on the Hero Platform’s code for modifying stats and mechanics, while Wu Zhangkong invited the students to join the Tang Sect; Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi accepted, but Jiang Xia and Gu Yue declined.
• On the train to Heaven Dou City, Jiang Xia asked Wu Zhangkong whether he knew Long Bing and explained that she had been named among the evil soul masters connected to the family involved in his parents’ deaths.

Back at Class Zero, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi explained that Tang Wulin’s bloodline had temporarily changed their Martial Soul compatibility, but their fusion skill had returned as Wang Jinxi’s Martial Soul regressed.

• Han Tianyi agreed to teach Jiang Xia the art of turning illusion into reality and suggested that Gu Yue could help him learn about illusory-space technology.
• During winter break, Jiang Xia studied illusion-to-reality techniques along with mecha design and manufacturing, though mastering the technology required advanced ranks in both fields.
• After returning to Class Zero, Jiang Xia asked Gu Yue about creating illusory spaces, and she agreed to let him study the technology alongside her.
• Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi told Wu Zhangkong that Wang Jinxi’s Bone Dragon King evolution had lowered its compatibility with Zhang Yangzi’s Dark Demon Eagle and stopped their Martial Soul Fusion Skill from working.
• Wang Jinxi explained that his Martial Soul had gradually regressed during the month, restoring their compatibility and fusion skill.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi withdrew from Class Zero to preserve their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, leaving Tang Wulin saddened by another parting. Jiang Xia discovered that Tang Wulin had never met Na'er, and the chapter ended with Wu Zhangkong bringing a timid new student, Xu Xiaoyan, to class.

• Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi told Wu Zhangkong they were withdrawing, and Wu Zhangkong accepted their decision and accompanied them to the academic affairs office.

• Jiang Xia used Broken Dream to share Spirit Detection with Gu Yue and the others while amplifying their elemental abilities.
• Xu Xiaoyan restrained Wu Zhangkong with her Starwheel Ice Staff as Gu Yue teleported Tang Wulin into range, and Tang Wulin struck Wu Zhangkong with a punch.

• Xu Xiaoyan diligently adapted to Class Zero's battle training while the class continued its lessons and weekly Spirit Ascension Platform visits.
• Jiang Xia asked Gu Yue to teach him how to create virtual spaces, and she questioned why he wanted to learn.
• Jiang Xia explained that his fear of the story changing had made him lose composure and ask about Na'er.
• Jiang Xia told Gu Yue that he knew she and Na'er shared thoughts, that Na'er was the Sea God Pavilion master's disciple, and that her Silver Dragon Spear was an artifact-grade Martial Soul.
• Gu Yue accepted Jiang Xia's explanation while deciding to guard her secrets, and Jiang Xia returned the conversation to virtual-space technology.

Jiang Xia told Gu Yue that he had devoured part of the Spirit Ascension Platform to improve his dream control, then shared his Broken Dream ability with her as she studied virtual-space technology. The next morning, he revealed that he had reached rank four in three secondary professions, and he denied Wu Zhangkong’s suggestion that his Martial Soul could help his classmates learn.

• Jiang Xia showed Gu Yue an internal report about damage to the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda’s Spirit Ascension Platform and admitted he had swallowed part of its virtual space to cultivate Broken Dream.
• Gu Yue explained the basics of virtual-space creation and asked to use Jiang Xia’s Silkworm Dream as an external brain; Jiang Xia agreed as long as she did not overtax his Broken Dream.
• Wu Zhangkong asked Class Zero about their secondary-profession progress, and Jiang Xia reported that he was a rank-four blacksmith, mecha designer, and mecha manufacturer.
• Gu Yue realized that Jiang Xia’s Broken Dream had helped him advance in all three professions, while Wu Zhangkong asked whether it could help the other students.
• Jiang Xia firmly denied that his Martial Soul could help his classmates cultivate their secondary professions.

Jiang Xia rejected Wu Zhangkong’s idea that he help classmates with their secondary professions, while continuing to benefit from Gu Yue’s work inside Broken Dream. Near the semester’s end, Jiang Xia prepared to use the Spirit Ascension Platform’s riot period to raise his Soul Spirit’s cultivation and potentially break through to rank 40.

• Gu Yue continued researching virtual space technology and developing Elemental Control techniques through Broken Dream, giving Jiang Xia substantial cultivation benefits in return.
• Wu Zhangkong learned that Gu Yue was a rank-three mecha designer, Tang Wulin a rank-four blacksmith, Xie Xie a rank-one mecha manufacturer, and Xu Xiaoyan a rank-one mecha designer.

• Jiang Xia planned to hunt extensively during the Spirit Ascension Platform’s riot period, aiming to add 3,000 years of cultivation to each of his three Soul Rings.
• Jiang Xia, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan entered their spirit ascension pods, and Xu Xiaoyan looked forward to participating without her brother.

Jiang Xia and Gu Yue built a vast soul circuit array inside Broken Dream, letting Jiang Xia stack four dream layers and greatly expand his control in the Spirit Ascension Platform. After leading their team through a seven-day rampage, Jiang Xia left the platform with Gu Yue exhausted from serving as a vessel, and she warned him not to dump all the pressure on her again.

• Jiang Xia and Gu Yue completed a massive soul circuit array that created a fourth virtual layer inside Broken Dream.
• Jiang Xia briefly froze space across the Spirit Ascension Platform, drained his spiritual power and Soul Power, and realized he could teleport within the four-layer domain.

• After leaving the spirit ascension pods, Gu Yue reproached Jiang Xia for placing the burden of the four-layer technique on her and warned that she might not help next time.

Jiang Xia planned to master the illusory-space technique so he could temporarily boost his physical capacity and fuse with a fourth Soul Ring. After Class Zero finished its Spirit Ascension Platform assessment, Wu Zhangkong announced that the class had to earn results in the Skysea Alliance Tournament to justify its costly training.

• Jiang Xia calculated that both his Soul Spirits had reached 6,000 years and planned to use a layered dream formation to withstand a fourth Soul Ring's pressure.
• Gu Yue revealed that she had two thousand-year Soul Rings, while Wu Zhangkong gave Jiang Xia, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie their final assessment grades.

• Jiang Xia declined Mu Chen’s suggestion that he enter the competition and left the Eastsea Blacksmith's Association.
• Jiang Xia met Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue at the Spirit Pagoda and invited them to practice in the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As Jiang Xia, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue faced Ye Xinglan's team, Jiang Xia warned Gu Yue that a powerful remnant soul was inside Tang Wulin.

• Jiang Xia mastered Starwheel Chain, and Xu Xiaoyan looked forward to using the ability with his help.
• Jiang Xia entered only the team competition at the Skysea Alliance Tournament and watched Shrek's representative team overwhelm Skysea Academy.
• Tang Wulin met Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan, treated them to a feast, and left them to wash the dishes.
• Ye Xinglan challenged Class Zero and joined a team that was matched against them, so Tang Wulin persuaded Jiang Xia to fight by offering access to his bloodline power.
• Jiang Xia, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue took the stage for Class Zero, and Jiang Xia warned Gu Yue that a powerful remnant soul was inside Tang Wulin.

Jiang Xia defeated Ye Xinglan with a single mental attack, then led Class Zero to the Skysea Alliance Tournament championship. Back in Heaven Dou City, he began using Broken Dream with Han Tianyi to create an illusory space and test a technique for turning illusion into reality.

• Jiang Xia used Spirit Ray to overwhelm Ye Xinglan, who collapsed before Gu Yue and Tang Wulin could act.
• Jiang Xia postponed studying Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline and left the arena after Wu Zhangkong praised him.
• Jiang Xia focused on mastering models in Broken Dream while Class Zero won the 3v3 championship and ended the tournament dispute at Eastsea Academy.
• Jiang Xia returned to Heaven Dou City, where Mu Ye examined him and discussed his plans to condense Blood Essence Power with Han Tianyi's help.
• Jiang Xia connected with Han Tianyi through Broken Dream, opened an illusory space with him as its vessel, and began constructing a technique model for turning illusion into reality.

With Han Tianyi's help, Jiang Xia completed a vast model in Broken Dream and turned its illusory power real, condensing Blood Essence Power for the first time. Zhen Hua then urged him to attempt Spirit Forging, believing Jiang Xia's extraordinary talent and steady cultivation made him certain to become a Divine Craftsman.

• Jiang Xia studied the complex model in Broken Dream and recognized how forging, mecha design, and mecha manufacturing could support one another.
• Jiang Xia completed the model and used it to create a Four-Element Vortex in the real world, confirming that he could turn the illusory into the real.
• Jiang Xia simulated Blood Essence Power, causing his blood essence to surge and condensing the power within himself for the first time.
• Mu Ye said Jiang Xia's Blood Essence Power would make his training easier and planned to teach him the Body Sect's basic combat techniques.
• Jiang Xia told Zhen Hua about his First Grade Thousand Refined success rate, and Zhen Hua encouraged him to make a push for Spirit Forging.
• Zhen Hua reflected that Jiang Xia's forging, Soul Power, and spiritual talent made him certain to become a Divine Craftsman.

Jiang Xia continued his cultivation and research after mastering Spirit Forging, then traveled with Class Zero to Shrek City. While Tang Wulin absorbed his second Golden Dragon King Seal, Jiang Xia’s imitation of the Golden Dragon King’s blood essence finally gained its full enhancement, and Gu Yue sensed his breakthrough.

• Jiang Xia mastered Spirit Forging, earned fifth-rank blacksmith certification in Eastsea City, and continued researching how to create illusory spaces without relying on someone else as a bridge.
• Three years after the Skysea Alliance Tournament, Wu Zhangkong took Class Zero to Shrek City, where Tang Wulin began absorbing his second Golden Dragon King Seal.
• While Tang Wulin was in seclusion, Jiang Xia imitated the Golden Dragon King’s blood essence within Broken Dream and theorized that Tang Wulin’s second seal would connect his bloodline to the Douluo Plane.
• After three days of repeated attempts, Jiang Xia felt the Golden Dragon King’s blood essence power finally enhance his body.
• Jiang Xia ate ravenously in the hotel dining hall, and Gu Yue sensed that he had made a breakthrough.

Gu Yue observed Tang Wulin’s increasingly pure Golden Dragon King Bloodline and decided to keep investigating the consciousness within him before trying to devour it. During Shrek’s assessment, Tang Wulin revealed a golden Soul Ring and killed an Earth Demon Lizard in one blow, leading Gu Yue to realize Jiang Xia might be able to make the illusory real.

• Gu Yue recognized that Jiang Xia had imitated the Golden Dragon King’s power and suspected his breakthrough was connected to Tang Wulin.
• Gu Yue sensed that Tang Wulin held a sealed portion of the Golden Dragon King’s origin, but held back from acting because she feared the powerful consciousness within him.
• Wu Zhangkong left to resolve the group’s missed assessment, then returned that evening and led the five students to Shrek Academy.
• Tang Wulin endured the assessment’s draconic might, then killed a three-thousand-year-old Earth Demon Lizard with a single strike using a golden Soul Ring.
• Gu Yue concluded that Jiang Xia might be turning the illusory into the real and planned to learn the method so she could attempt to fuse with the Golden Dragon King’s power before devouring Tang Wulin’s bloodline.
