Later, she told Jiang Nannan that Shrek had a fifty percent chance of winning the approaching finals, though Sun Moon Academy’s unrevealed fighters made the outcome uncertain.

Shrek Academy defeated Sun Moon Academy in the Team Battle after Ma Xiaotao unleashed Three Skills Combined, Black Fire Phoenix, and she kept her evil fire under control with Lin Qianyi’s pendant.

Lin Qianyi defeated Meng Hongchen, but Ma Xiaotao’s two-on-one match against Ma Rulong and another Sun Moon Academy contestant awakened the evil fire inside her. As Ma Xiaotao refused to concede, her transformation worsened, while Lin Qianyi was left injured from trying to help her.

• Lin Qianyi overcame Meng Hongchen’s poison and defeated her with a combination of Ice Crystal Butterfly and Azure Luan attacks, giving Shrek Academy the victory.
• Ma Xiaotao entered the two-on-two match alone because Lin Qianyi and the other Shrek members had spent much of their Soul Power.
• Ma Rulong attacked Ma Xiaotao with the Sword of Judgment, whose dark energy shattered the Ice Flower Jade Pendant’s protective power and stirred Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire.

After returning to Shrek, Huo Yuhao refused the Body Sect’s recruitment, and the team was welcomed by Yan Shaozhe and the Sea God Pavilion elders.

• Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao used their fourth Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Rainbow of Light, to defeat Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen and secure Shrek Academy’s championship.

• Lin Qianyi and the others returned to Shrek Academy, where Yan Shaozhe and the Sea God Pavilion elders praised them for defending the academy’s honor.

When Jing Hongchen arrived at the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En saw through his disguise, and Jing Hongchen claimed he had come to retrieve an eighth-grade Soul Tool.

• Yan Shaozhe reproached Ma Xiaotao for acting recklessly, and she accepted responsibility while Lin Qianyi pleaded that she not be punished.

Lin Qianyi tried to protect Ma Xiaotao when Yan Shaozhe assigned her a mock punishment, then joined Ma Xiaotao and the others on a soul-ring expedition into the Star Dou Great Forest. The group encountered a two-thousand-year Tiger Demon Cat, which attacked Lin Qianyi and was driven back by her Azure Luan Divine Bird martial soul.

• During a rest near the outer core region, Lin Qianyi chose a control-type skill for her fifth soul ring, Xiao Xiao sought a defensive skill, and Huo Yuhao remained unsure what skill would suit his Spirit Attribute martial soul.
• A two-thousand-year Tiger Demon Cat appeared, and Ma Xiaotao explained its characteristics to the group.
• The Tiger Demon Cat pounced at Lin Qianyi, who summoned the Azure Luan Divine Bird and blasted it several steps back.

• Lin Qianyi defeated the Tiger Demon Cat, and Huo Yuhao urged Ma Xiaotao not to waste its remaining cultivation by killing it.

After helping defeat the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear, Lin Qianyi left the group to hunt a soul beast that suited her and fought a sixty-thousand-year-old Azure Frost Phoenix. She killed it and began absorbing its soul ring, struggling to dissolve its heavy resentment.

• Xuan Zi scolded Huo Yuhao and Lin Qianyi for using an enhanced Ice Burst recklessly, then killed the surviving Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear.
• Xuan Zi found an External Soul Bone in the bear's left paw, and Lin Qianyi suggested that Huo Yuhao take it because its attribute did not suit her.
• Lin Qianyi sensed a compatible soul beast nearby, told Ma Xiaotao she would go alone, and flew off to find it.
• Lin Qianyi fought the sixty-thousand-year-old Azure Frost Phoenix, countering its wind and sound attacks with her soul skills and left leg bone skill before killing it.
• Ma Xiaotao told Xuan Zi that Lin Qianyi had gone hunting alone, while Lin Qianyi began absorbing the Phoenix's soul ring and tried to dissolve its resentment.

Lin Qianyi returned to the group after absorbing her fifth soul ring and revealed her new Wind Binding skill. As the group searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable soul beast for Huo Yuhao, they camped for the night, where Lin Qianyi sensed someone approaching.

• Lin Qianyi broke through to level 51, returned to her companions, and explained that Wind Binding immobilized one target, drained its Soul Power, and boosted her speed.
