Shui Xinrou briefed Skywater Academy on the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy Team and assigned the lineup for their second-round match, while Zhu Zhuqing worried about facing her older sister. Shui Yue'er defeated the Star Luo team's first contestant, Dong Hui, before its next fighter, Ying Wei, charged at her.

• Shui Yue'er overcame Dong Hui's attacks, struck him with Dolphin Sonar, and knocked him unconscious to win the first bout.
• Ying Wei entered for the Star Luo team and immediately charged Shui Yue'er with his first Soul Skill, Water Buffalo Plows the Field.

Shui Yue'er defeated Ying Wei by overcoming his terrain-altering Soul Skill, then was eliminated by Li Yang's mirror-based trap. Li Yang advanced, and Shui Yue'er urged Zhu Zhuqing to avenge her.

• Ying Wei used his Water Buffalo Martial Soul to alter the arena, draining Shui Yue'er's Soul Power and slowing her down while restoring his own.
• Shui Yue'er combined Wind-Treading Snow-Shadow Steps with Dolphin Surfing, broke through Ying Wei's defense, and knocked him out of the arena with a follow-up attack.
• Li Yang entered the match and used Suspended Mirror Escape and Withdrawal to hide among four moving mirrors, then struck Shui Yue'er while repeatedly retreating.
• Shui Yue'er landed her Dolphin Phantom on Li Yang and activated its Teleportation effect, but Li Yang moved the mirrors outside the arena and trapped her there.
• Shui Yue'er fell outside the arena, was eliminated, and asked Zhu Zhuqing to teach Li Yang a lesson.

Zhu Zhuqing defeated Li Yang, then faced her older sister Zhu Zhuyun in the arena. Zhu Zhuyun’s Fourth Soul Skill trapped Zhu Zhuqing in an illusion, leaving her motionless as the battle continued.

• Zhu Zhuqing interrupted Li Yang’s attempt to vanish into a mirror and defeated him with her Soul Skills.
• Zhu Zhuyun entered the arena and urged Zhu Zhuqing to return home, while Zhu Zhuqing accused her of trying to kill her in the past.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun exchanged attacks, and Zhu Zhuyun’s claws tore Zhu Zhuqing’s trousers without injuring her because of her evolved Martial Soul’s ability.
• Zhu Zhuqing used her Fourth Soul Skill to create three clones, but Zhu Zhuyun answered with Netherworld Spring Descent.
• Zhu Zhuqing and her clones stopped moving after Zhu Zhuyun’s Fourth Soul Skill drew Zhu Zhuqing into an illusion of her memories.

Zhu Zhuyun saw Zhu Zhuqing’s painful memories in her illusion and ended the vision before it reached her death, but Zhu Zhuqing charged at her and was disqualified after running out of bounds. Xue Wu then entered the arena to face Zhu Zhuyun, and their fight began with Xue Wu enduring Zhu Zhuyun’s rapid strikes.

• Zhu Zhuyun witnessed Zhu Zhuqing’s memories of fleeing the Star Luo Empire, finding Dai Mubai in despair, and being gravely injured before she dispersed the illusion.

• Xue Wu slowed Zhu Zhuyun with her First Soul Skill and struck her with a barrage from her Fourth Soul Skill, but Zhu Zhuyun endured the damage and knocked Xue Wu unconscious.
• Zhu Zhuyun remained on the stage despite her injuries, and Shui Bing'er entered as Skywater Academy's next contestant.
• Shui Bing'er tried to freeze Zhu Zhuyun, who used her Fourth Soul Skill, but Shui Bing'er's lock-on Ice Seal pursued her even with Shui Bing'er’s eyes closed.
• Dai Weisi surrendered Zhu Zhuyun before Ice Seal hit, then entered the match as the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy Team's captain.
• Shui Bing'er opened against Dai Weisi with Ice Seal, but Dai Weisi shattered it with his White Tiger Light Wave and nearly pierced her Ice Ring Armor.

Shui Bing'er and Dai Weisi fought a draining battle, with her ice abilities slowing and exhausting him while he struggled to break through her control. Shui Bing'er left the stage after both were nearly spent, leaving the next fight to Yu Tianshuang.

• Shui Bing'er froze Dai Weisi with her First Soul Skill and attacked with Freezing Ray, but he broke free and used his Third Soul Skill to withstand the blast.
• Dai Weisi destroyed Shui Bing'er's Ice Seals and charged toward her, forcing her to use Extreme Cold Vortex to block his approach.
• Shui Bing'er expanded the vortex to swallow Dai Weisi, then fired another Freezing Ray at him.
• Dai Weisi unleashed White Tiger God-Annihilating Destruction and destroyed the beam, but both fighters were nearly out of Soul Power.
• Shui Bing'er withdrew Extreme Cold Vortex and stepped off the stage, leaving the remaining fight to Yu Tianshuang.

Yu Tianshuang defeated Dai Weisi, and Skywater Academy watched Godwind Academy’s Feng Xiaotian defeat Plant Academy before deciding Yu Tianshuang would face him in the next match. As Feng Xiaotian thanked Yu Tianshuang for indirectly bringing Huo Wu to his team, the two prepared to fight for a place in the top four.

• Yu Tianshuang defeated Dai Weisi with a frost-powered sword strike, and Zhu Zhuyun carried the unconscious Dai Weisi from the arena.

• Feng Xiaotian defeated all seven Plant Academy members by himself, leaving Skywater Academy wary of its next opponent.
• Shui Bing'er admitted she could not reliably beat Feng Xiaotian, so Yu Tianshuang volunteered to face him first rather than forfeit.
• At the start of the match, Feng Xiaotian thanked Yu Tianshuang for the circumstances that led Huo Wu to join his team, and Yu Tianshuang apologized for the coincidence.

Yu Tianshuang and Feng Xiaotian fought in the tournament arena, with Yu Tianshuang's powerful defenses and sword attacks countering Feng Xiaotian's speed. Feng Xiaotian then launched his Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes at Yu Tianshuang.

• Yu Tianshuang's Prismatic Jade Disc Ice Array and Ice Emperor Armor withstood Feng Xiaotian's Demon Wolf Storm, so Feng Xiaotian launched Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes.

Feng Xiaotian’s escalating Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes battered Yu Tianshuang, who answered with his frost sword techniques and refused to surrender. As both fighters unleashed powerful attacks, Ye Lingling moved toward the arena to save someone, and the chapter ended with Yu Tianshuang’s Three Kills technique striking Feng Xiaotian.

• Feng Xiaotian’s consecutive wing slashes shattered Yu Tianshuang’s Soul Power sword and forced him to summon Heavenly Frost Cold Qi.

Yu Xiaogang recommended that Shrek Academy forfeit its match against the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy Team, but Dai Mubai revealed his family’s deadly succession rules and the team chose to fight for him. Meanwhile, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun worried that their efforts to protect Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had only driven them away.

Dai Mubai exchanged furious accusations with Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun before the match, while Shrek Academy revealed its seven-in-one Soul Power transfer technique. Tang San used the accumulated power to unleash his Clear Sky Hammer Tool Soul True Body and promised to defeat the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy Team.
