• Chu Feng repeated his question about choosing soul rings for a two-pounds-of-chicken-shit martial soul, and Yu Xiaogang insisted that no such martial soul existed.

• Chu Feng said he knew how to solve the problem, and Yu Xiaogang reacted in disbelief.

Chu Feng explained that Yu Xiaogang’s mutated Martial Soul and his own Soul Ring choices had kept him from breaking through level 30, then outlined a risky way to reach Soul Elder. The hall sided with Chu Feng after Yu Xiaogang could not refute his theory, and Chu Feng demanded to know whether Yu Xiaogang would go to prison willingly.

• Chu Feng told Yu Xiaogang that his Martial Soul had mutated and severed its bloodline pathway, and that a Ten-Year Lightning-Patterned Shrew could have helped reconnect it.
• Chu Feng described using Soul Rings from lightning-attribute beasts to build a temporary bloodline bridge that could let Yu Xiaogang break through level 29; Yu Xiaogang acknowledged the risks but could not deny the plan might work.
• Tang San praised Chu Feng’s approach, while Xiao Wu questioned why a weak Soul Beast would make a good Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang fell silent after admitting Chu Feng had answered his challenge, and Chu Feng told the hall that Yu Xiaogang had slandered Shrek Academy.
