Xiao Tian arrived at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City to bet on the Shrek Team, only to find them facing the stronger Defying Heaven Team instead of the Imperial Fighting Team. As the match began, Dai Mubai turned away from the Masked Man’s attack, leaving his teammates bewildered and worried.

• After breakfast, Xiao Tian left Snow Empress with Zhuzi and headed to Suotuo City to earn points through betting.
• Xiao Tian learned that Dai Mubai and Tang San had won fifteen consecutive individual matches and the Shrek Team had won nine team matches before facing the Defying Heaven Team.

Xiao Tian returned to Shrek Academy and learned that Bing Ji had come from Sea God Island to bring him back to his worried mother, Bo Saixi. He refused to leave for now and arranged a cultivation contest over Xue'er, leaving Bing Ji at the academy to teach her.

• Xiao Tian found Shao Xin and two other teachers protecting Zhu Zhuqing and Xue'er from Bing Ji, a Soul Saint who wanted to take Xue'er away.
• Xiao Tian recognized that Bing Ji had come looking for him after she showed him a scroll bearing his portrait, and the teachers offered to defend his choice to stay.
• Xiao Tian told Bing Ji to inform Bo Saixi that he would not return yet, then proposed that she and he alternate teaching Xue'er for three days each.
• Bing Ji agreed to teach Xue'er first, and during her three days of instruction Xue'er advanced from level 35 to level 36 while Xiao Tian withheld her Sprite.

Xiao Tian won his wager with Bing Ji after Xue'er’s Soul Power rose to level 38, and he refused to return with her. Xuan Zi appeared with the message that Xiao Tian could remain at Shrek Academy until he turned eighteen, then revealed that Xiao Tian had easily killed a level 50 Soul King.

• Bing Ji watched Xiao Tian leave Xue'er with Sprite and hot milk while he spent much of the three days away from the academy.
• By the third day, Xue'er had advanced two levels to level 38, and Bing Ji discovered she had been cultivating in a hundred-thousand-year-old ice marrow coffin.

On the road to the Star Dou Great Forest, they found Spirit Hall guarding a walled area where Xue'er sensed a Heavenly Flame, and she used her Snow Transformation Technique to sneak inside Xiao Tian’s sleeve.

• Xuan Zi warned Xiao Tian to keep the ice coffin secret from powerful Soul Masters, then departed after enjoying a drink.
• Xiao Tian hosted a feast for the Shrek teachers, who celebrated the lavish meal and grew fonder of him.
• A few days later, Xiao Tian, Zhu Zhuqing, and level-41 Xue'er left Shrek Academy to obtain Soul Rings; Xiao Tian had reached level 53.
• Xiao Tian noticed newly built walls and Spirit Hall guards on the road, while Xue'er sensed a volatile flame within the guarded area.
• Xiao Tian recognized an achievement for subduing the Green Lotus Core Flame and decided to investigate the enclosure.
• Xue'er turned into flecks of ice and snow and slipped into Xiao Tian’s sleeve, offering to help him enter unnoticed.

Xiao Tian entered the underground tunnel after an eruption of the Green Lotus Core Flame devastated the area, then used repeated respawns to push deeper into the cavern. Ghost Douluo was trying to break through the flame barrier, and Xiao Tian continued toward him through the spreading fire.

• Xiao Tian used Kamui to escape the enclosure just before the underground fire erupted, then watched the walls explode and the Green Lotus Core Flame engulf the surrounding land.
• Yesi and Commander Xiu fled the tunnel entrance while the sanctuary knights panicked and ran for the enclosure's exit, and many Spirit Hall experts were caught in the flames.
• Xiao Tian used Byakugan to locate the concealed tunnel entrance, then chose suicide and respawned inside the cavern to advance through the lingering fire with Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.
• Ghost Douluo inspected the Green Lotus Core Flame's barrier and wondered whether Uchiha Itachi would appear, then touched the barrier and endured the burst of flames it released.
• Xiao Tian repeatedly chose suicide and respawned to keep moving through the spreading fire, cursing whoever was causing the Green Lotus Core Flame to flare up.

Xiao Tian crossed the lake with the water’s help and found the Green Lotus Core Flame on the island. After discovering Ghost Douluo Gui Mei nearby, he disguised himself as Uchiha Itachi, and Gui Mei invited him to join Spirit Hall.

• Xiao Tian confronted Gui Mei, who introduced himself as a rank 95 Spirit Hall elder and invited Xiao Tian to join Spirit Hall.
• Xiao Tian asked what he would gain by joining.

Xiao Tian joined Spirit Hall as an elder under the title Heavenly Flame Douluo and tried to reach the green lotus core flame, but his resurrection ability could no longer place him inside its barrier. Xue'er attempted to break through with her Emperor Sword, but the heavenly flame engulfed her.

• Ghost Douluo offered Xiao Tian a position as a Spirit Hall elder, and Xiao Tian accepted on the condition that no one tried to order him around.
• Xiao Tian entered the flame barrier and named his title Heavenly Flame before Ghost Douluo left to report to the Pope and arrange his residence.
• After confirming no one was watching, Xiao Tian repeatedly killed himself to try to resurrect inside the flame barrier, but every attempt placed him outside.
• Xue'er came out to help Xiao Tian and summoned her Emperor Sword to strike the barrier.
• Green flames spread over Xue'er as her ice sword melted and the heavenly flame engulfed her.

Xiao Tian and Xue'er repeatedly revived to freeze the Heavenly Flame barrier, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to shatter it and expose the Green Lotus Core Flame Origin. Xiao Tian subdued the flame, gained his multifunctional beverage martial soul's fifth Soul Skill, Burning Incense Spring, and began testing its effects.

• Xue'er repeatedly revived to freeze most of the Heavenly Flame barrier, and Xiao Tian used the Black Tortoise's ice powers to freeze it with her.

• Xiao Tian repeatedly killed and revived himself until he entered the Green Lotus Core Flame and subdued it.
• Xiao Tian applied the flame's Soul Ring to his multifunctional beverage martial soul, reached level 55, and gained the Burning Incense Spring Soul Skill.
• Xiao Tian tested Burning Incense Spring's memory-altering and sex-reversing ability on a frog.

Xiao Tian froze a talking frog who called himself the Green Toad Sage, then left as the frog thawed and vowed to cultivate and help the Heavenly Dao’s incarnation. Meanwhile, Xiao Tian posed as Heavenly Flame Douluo and convinced Spirit Hall’s Bishop Yesi that the sea of fire was his domain, while rumors of his flame tower drew crowds.

• The frog who had drunk the second ability of Burning Incense Spring claimed to be the Green Toad Sage, but Xiao Tian kicked him away and froze him with a Sprite ice cube.
• The ice frog thawed, regained his bearings, and declared that he would enter seclusion before seeking the Heavenly Dao’s incarnation in the mortal world.
• Xiao Tian’s Green Lotus Flame formed a small, three-story tower at the center of the sea of fire, and Bishop Yesi saw the sign reading “Heavenly Flame.”
• Bishop Yesi told Xiao Tian that Ghost Douluo could not build the promised house because the fire could not be extinguished, and that Ghost Douluo would bring an Elder Token Plaque in a few days.
• Xiao Tian said the sea of fire was his domain and refused extra guards, while Bishop Yesi agreed and showed him fawning respect.
• Stories about the sea of fire and its tower spread, drawing countless people to the area.

Ghost Douluo delivered the Pope’s welcome to Xiao Tian, confirming Heavenly Flame Douluo’s connection to Spirit Hall in front of the gathered visitors. Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang arrived hoping to meet him, unaware Xiao Tian had already left, while Bishop Yesi began setting up a Spirit Hall liaison post nearby.

• On Ghost Douluo’s instructions, Bishop Yesi ordered a Spirit Hall liaison post built outside the sea of fire.

Xiao Tian took Xue'er and Zhu Zhuqing to Black Mist Cliff to find a fourth Soul Ring for Zhu Zhuqing, where he fought a ten-thousand-year Ghost Tiger. The Ghost Tiger survived his devastating attack long enough to split into clones and launch a final assault on Xue'er and Zhu Zhuqing.

• Xiao Tian used his Byakugan to locate a ten-thousand-year Ghost Tiger at Black Mist Cliff.
• Xiao Tian, Xue'er, and Zhu Zhuqing drank cola and Lafite to boost their attributes before the fight.
• Xiao Tian activated Berserk Mode and struck the Ghost Tiger with Nine Dragons Thunder Fire Fury, taking a severe wound to his leg while tearing open its abdomen.
• The Ghost Tiger survived the first strike and charged at Xue'er and Zhu Zhuqing, but the second stage of Xiao Tian's attack split its body in half.
• The Ghost Tiger's front half transformed into three clones and launched a final attack on Xue'er and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing killed the Ghost Tiger and gained a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, both of which greatly strengthened her. Xiao Tian, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xue'er then headed back, with Xue'er asking Zhu Zhuqing about kissing Xiao Tian.

• Zhu Zhuqing used her Shadow Ultimate Instant Strike while Xue'er’s ice wall helped bring down the Ghost Tiger, which dropped a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone.
• Xiao Tian urged Zhu Zhuqing to keep the Soul Bone and absorb both rewards, and she reached level 42 after absorbing the ring.
• Zhu Zhuqing revealed that her fourth Soul Skill was the Hell Clone Certain-Kill Technique, which let her turn invisible and attack with critical-hit clones.

• On the way back, Xue'er shyly asked Zhu Zhuqing how kissing Xiao Tian felt, leaving Zhu Zhuqing embarrassed and unsure how to answer.
