After Huo Yuhao reached rank twenty, Ning Tian gave him a rare piece of whale rubber, which he absorbed with Bing Ling’s help. Huo Yuhao and Qian Chen traveled to the Far North to seek the Soul Beast for his second Martial Soul, but the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm admitted he did not know the way and revealed they needed to find the Ice Empress.

• Qian Chen stared in surprise at Huo Yuhao after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm called on him to handle the Ice Empress.

Qian Chen was trapped in the Far North and fought the Ice Empress, who badly injured him before his Divine Light of Life restored him. He summoned Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Xiao Jin, and Electrolux to help, and the battle resumed with the Ice Empress unleashing her full power.

• Qian Chen’s allies agreed to use long-range attacks while he held the front line, and the Ice Empress unleashed Ice Emperor’s Wrath to freeze him.

Qian Chen refused the Ice Empress’s attempt to sacrifice herself to him, and they agreed that she would bring her injured clansman Dali to become Huo Yuhao’s Second Martial Soul instead. After Qian Chen healed the Ice Empress, she broke through to four hundred thousand years and asked him to heal the Snow Empress in the future.

• The Ice Empress insisted that Qian Chen accept her sacrifice, while Qian Chen argued that Huo Yuhao needed an Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul.

• At the training grounds, Ma Xiaotao defeated Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and Yao Haoxuan, then organized the Shrek Seven Devils' preparations for the next Soul Master Tournament.
• Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and wondered why she felt as though she had lost something important.

Bing Ling and Ma Xiaotao lost their Martial Soul Fusion Skill after Bing Ling's Martial Soul evolved into Ultimate Ice, while he promised to remain by her side and help suppress her Evil Fire.

• Ma Xiaotao asked Bing Ling if he would still want her without their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Bing Ling discovered their fusion no longer worked.
• Bing Ling comforted Ma Xiaotao and promised to help cure her Evil Fire; Qian Chen asked Bibi Dong whether changing a Martial Soul could undo a fusion, and she confirmed it could.

After refusing to let her take the Virulent Earth Dragon King's poison-attribute Soul Ring, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan shared an intimate night, leaving their hunt for a suitable Soul Ring for the next day.

• Qian Chen gave Zhang Lexuan the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's shed husk as a betrothal gift, and she began absorbing it while he stood guard.

• At dawn, Qian Chen took Zhang Lexuan toward the Star Dou Great Forest on the Seven Kill Sword.
• In the Divine Realm, Xiao Wu endured pain while dressing Tang San and asked how Xiao Qi had been doing on the Douluo Continent.

Xiao Wu suffered under Tang San’s growing cruelty while Tang San learned of Huo Yuhao’s recent activities and suspected Oscar and Ning Rongrong of building their own faction. Meanwhile, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable Soul Beast, where a hungry golden lion caught the scent of their grilled fish and ran toward them.

• Xiao Wu cried after Tang San left, believing he despised her identity and treated her as a tool in private.
