Lin Rong arranged for Yu Tianheng to survive the attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and used a forcibly planted Heart of Judgment to bring him under his control.

• Representatives of the Seven Great Sects and other powers gathered for an emergency roundtable meeting after the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was attacked.
• Ning Fengzhi questioned Xu Huanchen and Guang Yue, and Xu denied that the Star Crown Sect had harmed anyone while Guang Yue said Martial Soul Hall had found no evidence at the scene.

• Xu Huanchen accepted one hundred silver cards, while the Star Luo Empire representative paid Star Crown Sect's share with two Gold Cards.

Xue Qinghe urged Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy to remain in Spirit City for safety, while Elder Dai defended the Star Luo Empire and challenged Heaven Dou’s royal family. Lin Rong then assessed the second-round matchups and found that several would pit inheritors of Divine Legacies against one another.

After the second elimination round, eleven teams advanced, including three teams under Lin Rong; the chapter ended with Xue Qinghe feeling that another face was hidden beneath the Angel Statue’s appearance.

The third-round draw gave Heaven Dou Royal Team Two the number-one lot again, while the other teams drew their match numbers. Sea God Team also drew number one, leaving Yi Shuihan of Eat Drink Team to claim the final lot: the coveted bye.

• The final draw gave Eat Drink Team the bye, and the remaining teams’ matchups for the third knockout round were announced.

• Wang Shiyu recalled the Hundred Thousand Year Light Unicorn Right Arm Bone and agreed to Yan Mo’s proposal.

Tang San entered the elimination match against Chen Haitian determined to kill him, then used his teammates as bait to drain the ocean created by Chen Haitian’s Great Sea Martial Soul. The battle was still underway as Tang San prepared to exploit the stolen power against the Sea God Team’s Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• Xue Qinghe warned Tang San that Chen Haitian was a Soul Saint and the Sea God Team had a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Tang San angrily led Heaven Dou Second Team to the arena.
• Chen Haitian resented Bo Saixi’s concern for Tang San, while Tang San sensed Chen Haitian’s killing intent and readied Dragon Whisker Needles.
• Tang San ordered his six teammates not to defend themselves so the Sea God Team would hesitate to use lethal soul skills against them.
• Chen Haitian transformed the stage into an ocean, and Tang San’s Dark Blue Silver Emperor vines hurled his teammates at the Sea God Team.
• After the Sea God Team abandoned its soul skills and tried to push the teammates off the stage with soul power, Tang San activated Greedy Plunder and used his vines to drain energy from Chen Haitian’s ocean.

Tang San used Bodhi Blood and hidden Dragon Whisker Needles to cripple the Sea God Team, forcing Chen Haitian to reveal his Sea God Domain and Ocean Avatar. Chen Haitian prepared to attack Tang San with an imitation Sea God's Trident, while Bo Saixi accepted that she could no longer intervene.

• Tang San formed two Bodhi Blood beads during his Dark Blue Silver True Body state, and Xueshi injured his eyes trying to track them.
• Tang San's Bodhi Blood struck the two Azure Sea Pearl Soul Kings, who collapsed and began bleeding from their chests.
• Tang San concealed poisoned Dragon Whisker Needles in Blue Silver Emperor leaves and used them to incapacitate the remaining Sea God Team members.
• Chen Haitian used Sea God's Redemption to heal his teammates, then summoned his Ocean Avatar and formed an imitation Sea God's Trident.
• Bo Saixi realized she could no longer ask Chen Haitian to show mercy as he prepared to attack Tang San.

Tang San used the Heart of Greed to overpower Chen Haitian, but Chen Haitian stalled him while the Sea God Team recovered. Chen Haitian and the two awakened Soul Kings unleashed their fusion skill, and Tang San broke free only to accuse him of cheating.

• Tang San fused the Heart of Greed with his Dark Blue Silver Overlord Spear and began plundering Chen Haitian's power.

• Chen Haitian trapped Tang San with Unfixed Wind Waves and joined the two awakened Azure Sea Pearl Soul Kings in using Moon Rises Over the Sea.
• Tang San broke free of the binding and angrily accused Chen Haitian of using underhanded tricks.

Tang San lost to the Sea God Team after Chen Haitian’s attack trapped him in ice, leaving him exposed to ridicule and without his tournament protection. Meanwhile, Lin Rong and Yun Gui planned to worsen the Sea God Team’s injuries, while the Benti Sect decided to act against Tang San that night to uncover the secret behind Xueshi’s damaged eyes.

• Chen Haitian used Moon Rises Over the Sea: Taiyin Cold Haze to freeze Tang San, and the referee declared the Sea God Team the winner when Tang San could not break free in time.
• Tang San returned to the preparation area and grew resentful as spectators and teammates looked down on him; Xue Qinghe warned him to be careful in Spirit City.
• Lin Rong learned that Yun Gui had mastered the Tang Sect’s secret arts, and ordered him to use Dragon Whisker Needles and Bodhi Blood on the injured Sea God Team that night.
• A Benti Sect Elder said Xueshi’s eyes would recover only after the power within them naturally dissipated, which could take months or years.
• Xueshi blamed Tang San for his eye injury and urged the Benti Sect to investigate him, so the Sect Elders decided to act that night and report their plan to the Sect Master.

As the tournament’s third elimination round began, Xue Qinghe’s secret aid to Holy Light Team and Bibi Dong’s orders set Wang Shiyu and Hu Liena against each other. Wang Shiyu revealed she had become a Soul Saint with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, turning Spirit Hall Seed Team’s expected victory into an uncertain match.

• Ning Fengzhi asked Xue Qinghe where Tang San was and learned that he had shut himself in his hotel room after his loss.
• Xue Qinghe gave Wang Shiyu detailed information about Spirit Hall Seed Team, while Bibi Dong ordered Hu Liena to ruin Holy Light Team’s captain and vice-captain without killing them.
• Spirit Hall Seed Team and Holy Light Team released their martial spirits and Soul Rings as the match began.
• Spectators noticed Wang Shiyu had a seventh, red Soul Ring, and Lin Rong suspected it was a bloodline spirit ring created through a Divine Legacy.
• Holy Light Team’s morale rose when its members learned Wang Shiyu had become a Soul Saint, while Spirit Hall Seed Team worried that the ring could change the match’s outcome.

The Spirit Hall Seed Team and Holy Light Team began their match with both sides immediately unleashing Martial Soul Fusion Skills and Divine Artifacts. As the Goddess of Light’s Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix overwhelmed the field, Spirit Hall’s four Soul Kings were put out of action, leaving Yan to defend himself.

• Hu Liena and Xie Yue decided to use Bewitching Charm and their Divine Artifacts immediately, while Yan agreed to handle the rest of Holy Light Team.
• The match began, and Bewitching Charm and Phoenixes Flying Together appeared with their Divine Artifacts.
• The Goddess of Light used five-colored astral winds to scatter Bewitching Charm’s red mist, and her fan briefly cracked when it blocked the Moon Blades.
• The Goddess of Light launched Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, but Hu Liena froze at the sight until Xie Yue took control and countered with Full Moon.
• The Goddess of Light sent some of the birds after Spirit Hall’s other fighters, incapacitating four Soul Kings while Yan remained able to defend himself.

Yan’s Fire of Wrath empowered him to attack the Goddess of Light’s Five-Colored Phoenix, while Bewitching Charm joined the assault. With their attacks failing to defeat her, Xie Yue and Hu Liena agreed to attempt a trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Yan, leaving Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo racing to stop them.

• Yan revealed the Divine Artifact Fire of Wrath and used Demonic Flame Dark Light Break against the Five-Colored Phoenix.
• Xie Yue redirected Bewitching Charm’s Full Moon attack to strike alongside Yan’s projectile.
• The clash blasted both teams off the arena, exhausted Full Moon, and left the Five-Colored Phoenix weakened but able to recover.
• Xie Yue persuaded Hu Liena to attempt a trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Yan for Spirit Hall’s honor.
• Yan hugged Bewitching Charm from behind as the three activated their Divine Artifacts, and Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo moved to interrupt the fusion.

Spirit Hall's Golden Generation used the Divine Artifacts to create the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hellfire Demon, and fought the Goddess of Light in a race against time. Both sides collapsed after exhausting their strength, leaving the match undecided as Yan and Wang Shiyu struggled to stand first.

• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan combined their martial souls with the Seven Deadly Sins Divine Artifacts to form Hellfire Demon, which drove the Goddess of Light to dismiss her Five-Colored Phoenix.
• The Goddess of Light predicted Hellfire Demon would soon fall apart and protected herself behind a barrier formed by the Five-Colored Feather Fan and Rainbow Feather Robe.
• Hellfire Demon battered the barrier until it shattered, but the fusion skill disintegrated from depleted Soul Power just as it moved to attack.
• The Goddess of Light also ran out of Soul Power and reverted to Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo, leaving both teams unable to fight.
• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Wang Shiyu, and Yan Mo tried to rise so the first to stand could win, with Yan and Wang Shiyu making the fastest progress.

Yan helped the Spirit Hall Seed Team defeat the Holy Light Team after Hu Liena promised to date him if he stood first. As Xue Qinghe prepared to recruit Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo, Yun Gui stayed away from the evening match, and Ning Fengzhi suspected that trouble was brewing around Tang San.

• Hu Liena promised to date Yan if he stood first, and Yan beat Wang Shiyu to his feet by half a second, giving the Spirit Hall Seed Team the victory.
• Yan collapsed after the referee announced the result, while Xue Qinghe decided to invite Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo to a banquet to win them over.
• Bibi Dong felt relieved by the victory but worried that Yan might mistake Hu Liena's promise for genuine affection.
• Xue Qinghe skipped the evening match between the Four Elements Academy and the Benti Sect to prepare his banquet, while Tang San stayed alone at the hotel.
• Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi that Yun Gui had not come, and Ning Fengzhi inferred that she had a mission and that danger might be closing in on Tang San.

Feng Xiaotian confronted Xueshi in the tournament and revealed that he could wield both the Eye of Storm and the Scepter of Destruction. Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe welcomed Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo as fellow Heaven Dou Empire natives at a banquet.

• Feng Xiaotian and Xueshi faced off as Four Elements Academy's Wind Fire Team met the Benti Sect Seed Team in the third elimination round match.
• Feng Xiaotian used the Eye of Storm to trap himself and Xueshi in a giant gale, and Xueshi removed the cloth covering his eyes.
• Xueshi summoned the Asura Divine Sword and challenged Feng Xiaotian, who answered by revealing the Scepter of Destruction.
• Feng Xiaotian infused the storm with destructive power, turning it blue-purple and drawing speculation from the divine inheritors watching.
• At a hotel banquet, Xue Qinghe learned that Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo were from the Heaven Dou Empire and invited them to drink.

Xue Qinghe offered Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo important positions in the Heaven Dou Empire, and Yan Mo accepted his token while they considered the offer. Meanwhile, fearing an approaching threat, Tang San escaped his watched hotel suite through the toilet pipes into Spirit City's sewers, and Ghostly realized how he had vanished.

• Xue Qinghe described the Heaven Dou Empire's troubles and invited Wang Shiyu and Yan Mo to serve the royal family.
• Yan Mo accepted Xue Qinghe's personal waist token and said they would consider his offer.
• Tang San's twitching right eyelid convinced him that danger was near, so he packed and searched for a way to leave unnoticed.

• Ghostly deduced that Tang San had escaped through the toilet bowl and sanitation pipes.
