Qi Ling told Ning Fengzhi about a secret, costly plan to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from Spirit Hall, then organized allies and forces for the coming war.

While the students celebrated reports of Heaven Dou Empire victories, Qi Ling suspected a trap; the latest report revealed the empire's army had been crushed, with only fifty thousand survivors missing and Spirit Hall's force returning.

• Reports announced several Heaven Dou Empire victories, prompting celebrations, but Qi Ling grew suspicious of the seemingly decisive advances.
• After a day and night without news, a report stated that the Heaven Dou Empire's army had been crushed, with only fifty thousand battered survivors remaining and Spirit Hall's force returning.

Qi Ling welcomed his forces to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and revealed that his ten-woman Soul Hunting Squad could kill Soul Douluos despite their modest cultivation. He proposed trading rare materials worth a hundred million Gold Soul Coins for a Spirit Hall Titled Douluo’s head, and Ning Fengzhi countered with an offer of five hundred million.

• Qi Ling reassured Ning Fengzhi that Dragon’s Glory would stand with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect against the coming threat.
• Ning Rongrong led Qi Ling’s First Regiment, Fourth Regiment, Independent Regiment, and Soul Hunting Squad to the sect, where Qi Ling ordered Yunlong and the regiments to prepare.
• Qi Ling introduced Tina and the other nine women, then told Ning Fengzhi that each could hunt and kill a Soul Douluo alone.
• Qi Ling gave Ning Fengzhi a list of rare materials and asked whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could gather them; Ning Fengzhi said it could, though they would cost at least a hundred million Gold Soul Coins.
• Qi Ling offered to exchange the materials for a Spirit Hall Titled Douluo’s head, and Ning Fengzhi asked whether Qi Ling would accept five hundred million Gold Soul Coins instead.

Qi Ling unveiled the Enhanced Barrett and explained how the weapon and specialized Soul Hunting Squad could threaten even powerful Soul Masters. He arranged a demonstration with Zhao Wuji, while the squad's abilities remained to be shown.

• Ning Fengzhi gathered the materials Qi Ling needed, and Qi Ling assembled the Soul Hunting Squad and his guests for a demonstration.
• Tina used her storage Soul Tool to reveal the Barrett, and Qi Ling explained that its enhanced range and power could injure even a Titled Douluo with specially made bullets.
• Flender and Tai Tan pressured Zhao Wuji into volunteering to test the Barrett's defensive power.
• Qi Ling led everyone to the mountain behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Zhao Wuji activated his Martial Soul Avatar and prepared to defend himself from over 4,000 meters away.
• Tang San doubted the Barrett could hit Zhao Wuji at that distance, so Qi Ling explained that the squad's ten members had been selected from tens of thousands and trained to use master-recognized weapons with supporting Soul Skills.

Qi Ling demonstrated Tina’s Barrett Sniper Rifle and revealed the full power and cost of his Soul Hunting Squad’s weapons. With Spirit Hall due to arrive the next day, he used the system to exchange Ning Fengzhi’s materials for fifty special bullets and prepared for the coming battle.

• Tina fired a Barrett round that forced Zhao Wuji to use nearly all his Soul Power to stop it.
• Ning Fengzhi and the others recognized the Barrett as a threat to powerful Soul Masters, and Qi Ling revealed that the other nine squad members carried identical rifles.

• Qi Ling exchanged materials worth one hundred million Gold Soul Coins through the system for fifty Barrett-exclusive Soul Hunting Bullets.

As Spirit Hall’s forty-thousand-strong force arrived to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qi Ling revealed little about his preparations and assured Ning Fengzhi that the remodeled terrain would help. Qi Ling and Tang San spotted fifteen Titled Douluo among the enemy, while Qi Ling prepared Tina and the Soul Hunting Squad to shoot down two airborne attackers.

• Ning Fengzhi organized the sect’s defenders but struggled to understand the First Regiment, Fourth Regiment, and Independent Regiment’s preparations, including the First Regiment’s excavation and bamboo cutting.

• Fire Eagle Douluo and Gray Feather Douluo flew toward the sect and argued over which of them would kill more defenders for a reward from Qian Xunji.

Qi Ling and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect used Barrett sniper rifles to ambush two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall. Fire Eagle Douluo died in the first volley, and Qi Ling killed Gray Feather Douluo after the second volley failed to finish him.

• Gray Feather Douluo and Fire Eagle Douluo noticed the man-made terrain beneath the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and realized it was prepared against Spirit Hall.
• Tina fired five Barrett shots at Fire Eagle Douluo, killing him after the bullets pierced his arms, chest, skull, and heart.
• Qi Ling ordered the second squad to fire at Gray Feather Douluo, whose teleportation skill let him evade the final two bullets.
• Qi Ling formed an Overbearing Dragon Spear and hurled it through the wounded Gray Feather Douluo, killing him in an explosion.
