Zhang Lexuan was imprisoned and pressured by Shrek Academy elders to reveal what she knew about Toji. After her father was tortured and brought to her cell, she broke the restraints, wounded a man who tried to coerce her into marriage, and refused to give the elders any information.

• Zhang Lexuan remained imprisoned in a lightless chamber with her Soul Power and Martial Soul sealed, while the elders repeatedly questioned her about Toji.
• A man brought Elder Zhang, Zhang Lexuan's badly injured father, into the chamber and mocked her before demanding information about Toji.

• A Titled Douluo intervened, made his disciple apologize, and ordered him to leave after Zhang Lexuan demanded it.
• Zhang Lexuan refused to share anything about Toji, telling the elder that the attack on her father had made her even less willing to talk; the elder promised to find a healing-type Soul Master for Elder Zhang.

Zhang Lexuan’s father was healed, but she remained trapped in Shrek Academy and feared Toji would walk into danger trying to save her. Toji resolved to fight Shrek, then began preparing with the Body Sect while warning Du Busi that Mu En was the greatest obstacle.

• Elder Zhuang healed Elder Zhang, and Zhang Lexuan ordered the pavilion elder to leave before grieving beside her father and silently wishing Toji would save her.
• After hearing Liang Wu’s report, Toji declared that he would wreck Shrek Academy, and he ordered his group to retreat to the Heaven Dou Empire and prepare before attacking.
• Toji released Xu Rong in the underground Soul Fighting Arena, where Soul Beasts killed him as Toji watched without emotion.
• Toji told Du Busi he intended to fight Shrek, and he identified the pavilion elder, Shrek’s head, and especially the level 99 Mu En as major threats.

Toji gathered the Body Sect and his allies for a plan to infiltrate Shrek Academy and rescue Zhang Lexuan and her father, relying on a coordinated attack to distract its strongest fighters. The group camped outside Shrek City, waiting for Toji’s signal, while Di Qiu’er wondered if he truly intended to enter alone.

• Toji and Du Busi agreed that the Body Sect and powerful Ferocious Beasts could attack Shrek Academy while Toji infiltrated it to find Zhang Lexuan.

• Toji thanked everyone and announced they would set out the next day to destroy Shrek Academy.
• The group camped outside Shrek City, and Di Qiu’er wondered whether Toji planned to infiltrate the academy alone.

• Ye Guyi, Ji Juechen, and Di Qiu'er worried about Toji infiltrating Shrek Academy alone, then Di Qiu'er directed the group to find opponents of the academy in the city.
• Di Qiu'er and Ye Guyi entered Shrek City together and searched for Soul Masters willing to cause trouble at Shrek Academy.
• Di Qiu'er confronted a group of drunken Soul Kings in an alley and offered them a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins each to attack the academy's main gate.
• When the men tried to take advantage of her, Di Qiu'er revealed her Soul Douluo strength and threatened them into accepting the job.
• The Soul Kings attacked Shrek Academy's main gate with insults and Soul Skills, prompting the guards to sound the enemy attack alarm.

Di Qiu'er and Ye Guyi used a staged attack at Shrek Academy's gate to keep its defenders distracted while Toji infiltrated the academy to search for Zhang Lexuan. Toji found no clear lead until he overheard that food was being set aside for the eldest senior sister on Xuan Zi's orders.

• Di Qiu'er watched the staged attackers fight Shrek's inner court disciple, then left with Ye Guyi to arrange further trouble for the next day.
• Toji slipped past Shrek Academy's patrols and decided to track the food and water delivered to Zhang Lexuan.
• Toji knocked out an inner court disciple, took his uniform, and searched the academy for clues without success.
• Toji joined the dinner line and overheard students gossiping about the disturbance and the unconscious disciple found in a restroom.
• Toji heard a server say that a meal was for the eldest senior sister at Xuan Zi's special instruction.

Toji tracked the meal deliveries to Zhang Lexuan’s confinement room and confirmed she was alive and apparently unharmed. Unable to approach past the Titled Douluo guarding her, he distracted the old man with thrown pebbles and waited for him to lower his guard.

• Toji overheard two Inspection Corps disciples mention Zhang Lexuan and followed them to a cabin on Sea God Island.
• Toji saw Zhang Lexuan inside the confinement room and noted that she appeared pale but had no visible restraints or injuries.
• Toji threw a pebble to draw out the gray-robed Titled Douluo’s Spiritual Power, but the old man failed to find him.
• Toji threw more pebbles, provoking the old man into searching the area and driving away the disciples who came to investigate.
• Toji remained hidden for a day until the gray-robed old man relaxed and closed his eyes again.

Toji secretly entered Zhang Lexuan’s confinement room and learned that her father, Elder Zhang, had been taken west after being injured. Meanwhile, Mu En sensed an impending disaster for Shrek Academy and urgently summoned the Sea God Pavilion elders, demanding they consider whom the academy had provoked.

• Toji used Unity of Heaven and Man to slip past the gray-robed elder and enter Zhang Lexuan’s confinement room.
• Zhang Lexuan told Toji that she could not leave because the academy had taken her father, Elder Zhang, west to treat his injuries.
• Toji promised Zhang Lexuan that he would find Elder Zhang and rescue them both when he was ready, then quietly left the room.
• Mu En sensed that a catastrophic calamity threatened Shrek Academy and summoned the Sea God Pavilion elders.
• Mu En warned the elders that Shrek’s ten-thousand-year foundation might be destroyed and asked whom the academy had recently provoked.

Mu En and the Sea God Pavilion elders worried that the Body Sect’s young man might infiltrate Shrek Academy, so they decided to watch Zhang Lexuan’s and her father’s rooms. Toji found Elder Zhang shackled and near death, but as he reached for the restraints, Elder Zhang warned him not to move.

• Mu En suspected that the Body Sect or its allies might threaten Shrek Academy, while Xuan Zi recalled the undetectable young man who had repeatedly defeated him.
• Xian Lin'er said the academy had searched for intruders and confined Zhang Lexuan because of her connection to the young man.
• Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi agreed to keep watch over Zhang Lexuan’s and her father’s rooms.
• After searching Shrek Academy for a day and a night, Toji reached a secluded stone house that he believed was the last place Elder Zhang might be held.
• Toji entered and found Elder Zhang shackled, restrained, and badly abused; when Toji reached toward a shackle, Elder Zhang warned him not to move.

Toji discovered that Elder Zhang's shackles were alarm Soul Tools and realized he could not rescue him or Zhang Lexuan without alerting Shrek Academy. He began planning a tunnel-based escape, but Xuan Zi arrived and decided to keep watch over Elder Zhang.

• Elder Zhang warned Toji not to touch his shackles because they would alert Shrek Academy, and urged him to leave and save Zhang Lexuan.
• Toji concluded that the restraints and a Titled Douluo guarding Zhang Lexuan made rescuing either captive dangerous, but refused to abandon them.
• Toji recalled the Body Sect's tunnel-digging and began planning to dig beneath Elder Zhang and Zhang Lexuan.
• Xuan Zi burst into the stone house, searched Elder Zhang and the surroundings, then decided to stay and wait for Toji.
• Toji hid in the shadows as Xuan Zi settled in, leaving him unsure how to continue his rescue plan.

Toji escaped Shrek Academy after sneaking past Xuan Zi, who was guarding Elder Zhang, and reunited with Di Qiu'er and the Body Sect elites outside Shrek City. He reported that Zhang Lexuan and Elder Zhang were held in separate locations under powerful guards, leaving the rescue plan in doubt.

• Toji stayed hidden while Xuan Zi ate and drank in the confinement room and questioned Elder Zhang about whether Toji would come for him or his daughter.
• Toji used precise control over his body and the smell of Xuan Zi's food to slip past him and escape the guarded area.
• Toji left Shrek Academy and reached the rendezvous point outside Shrek City, where Di Qiu'er and the Body Sect elites were waiting.
• Toji told Di Qiu'er that Zhang Lexuan was held near the Sea God Pavilion and Elder Zhang was guarded by Xuan Zi, with both prisoners wearing trigger-activated Soul Tool shackles.
• Di Qiu'er gave Toji water and suggested they return to rest before deciding how to proceed.
