Qian Xunji was resurrected ten thousand years after the Asura God destroyed his soul, and the Plane Consciousness explained how Tang San had ruined Spirit Hall and the Angel Clan. After awakening Qian Xunji’s twin Martial Souls, the Plane Consciousness revealed that it intended to use him against Tang San and Tang Hao, and Qian Xunji asked what it expected him to do.

• The Plane Consciousness showed Qian Xunji the events that followed his death, including Bibi Dong’s fate and Tang San’s rise to power.
• The Plane Consciousness said Tang San and Tang Hao had to be stopped, then awakened Qian Xunji’s Holy Angel and Seven Kill Sword Martial Souls.
• Qian Xunji recognized that the Plane Consciousness expected something in return and asked it to state its demand plainly.

The Plane Consciousness tasked Qian Xunji with keeping a future child of destiny from becoming Tang San’s lackey and promised support to rebuild Spirit Hall. After the Plane Consciousness left, Qian Xunji prepared to leave the ruined village, but a Soul Ferryman appeared and found him.

• The Plane Consciousness told Qian Xunji that a child of destiny would be born in the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion and ordered him to keep the child from Tang San while leaving him vulnerable to Tang San’s attempts to win him over.
• The Plane Consciousness offered Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue’s soul fragments and explained that they would need rare treasures to be resurrected, but Qian Xunji initially refused to take responsibility for them.
• The Plane Consciousness promised Qian Xunji information about the descendants of Spirit Hall’s worshippers and three Fate-Defying Azure Lotus Seeds, which guaranteed innate full soul power when taken before Martial Soul awakening.
• Qian Xunji accepted the soul fragments and lotus seeds, learned that the child of destiny would spend time at Shrek Academy, and agreed to prepare for the mission.
• After the Plane Consciousness vanished, Qian Xunji searched the ruined village for food and money, gathered the dead villagers for cremation, and attracted the attention of the Soul Ferryman.

Qian Xunji killed the Soul Ferryman but was critically wounded by the Soul Ferryman’s final Soul Cannon Shell. As Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue’s remnant souls awakened, they found the dying child and demanded to know where they were.

• Qian Xunji wounded the Soul Ferryman with the Seven Kill Sword, then used his Holy Angel Martial Soul to suppress the Soul Ferryman’s power and evade his attacks.

Ten years later, Qian Chen’s group encountered a battle with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, where a boy cried out for Xuan Zi to save him.

Qian Chen and his brothers intervened when Shrek Academy students were being overwhelmed by the Hundred-Thousand-Year Saber-Toothed Tiger King. After revealing his extraordinary Soul Saint cultivation, Qian Chen drew the survivors’ attention, and a girl carrying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda asked whether his Martial Soul was the Seven Kill Sword.

• The Saber-Toothed Tiger King killed Wang Feng and attacked the remaining Shrek students, who lost more fighters despite the eldest senior sister’s powerful strike.
• Feng Luan returned to Qian Chen and reported that Shrek students were fighting the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast without a Titled Douluo protecting them.
• Bibi Dong offered to help Qian Chen hunt the Tiger King if he killed the Shrek students, but Qian Chen rejected her and ordered his brothers to assist the students strategically.

• Qian Chen revealed seven powerful Soul Rings, identifying himself as a Soul Saint and giving the wounded Shrek students hope of rescue.
• A girl carrying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda rushed to Qian Chen and asked if his Martial Soul was the Seven Kill Sword.

Qian Chen agreed with Zhang Lexuan that he would take the Saber-Toothed Tiger King's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring while Shrek would receive its Soul Bone, then killed the beast with his Killing Sword Qi. As Qian Chen began absorbing the ring, Xuan Zi arrived and accused him of stealing Shrek Academy's prize.

• Ning Ke'er recognized Qian Chen's Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, and Qian Chen proposed dividing the Saber-Toothed Tiger King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone with Zhang Lexuan.
• Zhang Lexuan accepted the deal, and Qian Chen told her to protect the others while he led the attack.
• With Ning Ke'er's speed boost and his own skills, Qian Chen used Sword Shadow Clone and Killing Sword Qi to poison the Saber-Toothed Tiger King through its wounds.
• After the Sword Qi numbed the beast and it collapsed, Qian Chen explained his skill and killed it, then began absorbing its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as Shrek retrieved the Soul Bone.
• Xuan Zi arrived, saw Qian Chen absorbing the ring, and angrily accused him of stealing Shrek Academy's Soul Ring.

Xuan Zi attacked Qian Chen while he absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but Zhang Lexuan, Ning Ke'er, Wu Ming, and the other Shrek students stopped him and explained what happened. After Qian Chen completed his absorption, Xuan Zi accused him of stealing Shrek's prize and claimed the Soul Ring belonged to the academy.

• Xuan Zi mistook the battle's aftermath for evidence that Qian Chen had stolen Shrek Academy's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and moved to attack him.
• Feng Luan and Bing Ling tried to stop Xuan Zi, but he assessed their cultivation and tossed them aside.
• Zhang Lexuan, Ning Ke'er, Wu Ming, and the other Shrek students shielded Qian Chen and explained that he had helped them survive the fight.
• Xuan Zi backed down, tended to the injured students, and privately resolved to undermine Qian Chen before the Continental Soul Master Tournament.
• Qian Chen finished absorbing the Soul Ring, noticed Feng Luan and Bing Ling's disheveled state, and asked Zhang Lexuan what had happened.
• Xuan Zi silenced the others, accused Qian Chen of stealing Shrek's Soul Ring, and rejected Qian Chen's explanation that they had agreed on how to divide the rewards.

• Xuan Zi demanded that Qian Chen join Shrek’s Inner Court and Inspection Corps and help uphold the academy’s reputation, while Zhang Lexuan and the other students objected.
• After Xuan Zi privately explained his reasons to Zhang Lexuan, Qian Chen agreed to join Shrek Academy despite his reluctance.
• Qian Chen set conditions for joining: he could leave freely, receive exclusive Evil Soul Master missions and free cultivation resources, keep tournament prizes, and receive the academy’s help hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast when he became a Titled Douluo.
• Xuan Zi accepted Qian Chen’s conditions, and Qian Chen also arranged for Bing Ling to receive the same treatment while refusing to let Feng Luan join.
• Qian Chen told Xuan Zi he would handle personal matters and report to Shrek in half a year, then left with Pan Long, Feng Luan, and Bing Ling for Star Luo City to find the child of destiny.

Qian Chen monitored the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion, where Huo Yuhao awakened his Martial Soul as eyes with rank-one innate Soul Power instead of the White Tiger. The Duchess and Dai Huabin prepared to torment Huo Yuhao and his mother, while Qian Chen watched from hiding.

• The Duchess told Dai Huabin to begin tormenting Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun’er without killing them immediately.

Qian Chen failed to take Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er away from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion after Huo Yun'er insisted Dai Hao would return and care for them. Bibi Dong explained that a god's Consciousness Control was influencing Huo Yun'er, and the next day Qian Chen met Yan Feng, a boy with a Bone Dragon Martial Soul who asked to serve at Angel Mountain Manor.

• Qian Chen revealed his rank-eighty-two Soul Power and Seven Kill Sword to Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao, then offered to take them away and train Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yun'er rejected Qian Chen's offer, convinced that Dai Hao loved her and would soon return to care for her and Huo Yuhao.
• Qian Chen left the mansion, and Bibi Dong told him that a god had used Consciousness Control to influence Huo Yun'er's thoughts.
• Bibi Dong explained that the control could be removed by making Huo Yun'er recognize the consciousness as false and shattering her fantasy.
• The next day, Yan Feng told Qian Chen that his Bone Dragon Martial Soul had made villagers shun him, and asked to learn how to help people awaken their Martial Souls.

• Mu En summoned Bei Bei to the Inner Court’s main entrance, and Zhang Lexuan felt embarrassed at the call.

• Qian Chen revealed that he possessed twin Martial Souls, the Seven Kill Sword and the Holy Angel, and explained that purifying Evil Soul Masters increased his Soul Power.

Qian Chen and Bing Ling reached Sea God Island, where Bing Ling caught a Silver-Blooded Dragonfish and attracted Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao. After learning that Ma Xiaotao needed an ice-attribute Soul Master to suppress her Evil Fire, Qian Chen considered using Bing Ling’s help to win her over.

• Zhang Lexuan took Qian Chen and Bing Ling toward the cafeteria, but Bing Ling asked to eat Soul Beast meat instead.

• Tang San visited Tang Wutong and claimed her mother’s limited talent had restricted her own potential, then proposed a plan involving Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
