Everyone agreed to join as ordinary teachers, and Yang Podi left after learning they had no news of Tang San.

After learning that Bibi Dong had killed Da Ming and Er Ming, Xiao Wu grieved while Tang San’s rage triggered a powerful new ability to devour Soul Beasts. He chose to exploit that ability to grow stronger and prepare for revenge against the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong, and Yang Podi.

• Xiao Wu learned from the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest that Bibi Dong had killed Da Ming and Er Ming, and Tang San comforted her as they mourned.
• Tang San lost control and his Blue Silver Grass devoured several Soul Beasts, absorbing their Soul Power, flesh, blood, and bones before he regained his senses.

• Despite knowing the consequences of devouring Soul Beasts, Tang San resolved to continue, setting his sights on Bibi Dong and Yang Podi.

Tang San rapidly increased his Soul Power by devouring Soul Beasts, but the tainted power changed his Blue Silver Grass and began corrupting his body and soul. After breaking through to Titled Douluo, he sought more Soul Rings, and Xiao Wu told him about several powerful Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Xiao Wu warned Tang San to consolidate his cultivation, then told him about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, three Qian Jun Ants, and a Heaven Swallowing Sparrow that even Da Ming and Er Ming could not handle.

Tang San hunted Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring and the mysterious Evil God Pearl, and rose to level 98. He left the forest intent on revenge, unaware that Di Tian had watched and guided events as part of the Lord's ten-thousand-year plan.

• Di Tian revealed that he had observed Tang San and Xiao Wu and considered Tang San the chosen candidate for the Lord's ten-thousand-year plan.

The Evil God King noticed Tang San absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s power and secretly sent him energy as a chance to become his successor, despite Asura’s warning. Meanwhile, the Shrek group settled comfortably into Heavenly Pursuit Academy, while Yang Podi guarded its secrets and wondered what choice his Godly Trial demanded.

Yang Podi sensed that events across Douluo Continent were accelerating and urged Qian Renxue to finish her Angel God's trials.

• Yu Xiaogang said Tang Yuehua's Noble Domain could no longer help and proposed visiting Heavenly Pursuit Academy with Tai Tan and Bai He.
