Dai Mubai learned that Lu Qibin’s sealed Soul Power could help him reach the Titled Douluo realm, and urged him to cultivate in seclusion. After Lu Qibin’s favorability reached 100%, Dai opened the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Chest, revealing three blue-violet orbs of light.

Dai Mubai consulted the Favorability System about sharing the Star Luo Chess Formation domain prototype with Lu Qibin. After learning they could both comprehend it with a high chance of success if they prepared with the Star Chess Manual and Star Dew, Dai Mubai decided to use the multi-person method and begin gathering Star Dew.

• Dai Mubai weighed whether to keep the Starlight Treasure Bottle and give Lu Qibin the Star Chess Manual, while debating who should receive the Star Luo Chess Formation domain prototype.

• Dai Mubai decided they would comprehend the skill together and noted that collecting two drops of Star Dew could take more than two months.

Dai Mubai tested whether he could cultivate Soul Power and spiritual power at the same time while learning the Stargazing Spirit Concentration Method. He became more familiar with the method, but found that its starlight made his spiritual power harder to control.

• Dai Mubai donated one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to Shrek Academy, and Flender arranged for him to train against Soul Beasts with Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong.
• Dai Mubai told Flender that Lu Qibin was in seclusion to convert the Soul Power accumulated while his cultivation was sealed.
• Dai Mubai saw that clouds had hidden the moon and stars, then asked Oscar to make twenty Soul Power recovery Big Sausages for his planned flight above the clouds.
• Dai Mubai practiced hovering with his snow-white wings while cultivating Soul Power and spiritual power, but found managing all three tasks difficult.

• Dai Mubai checked his status panel and saw his spiritual power had reached rank 56 while his Soul Power remained rank 36.
• After arriving at Shrek Manor, Dai Mubai saw that Flender, Lu Qibin, Zhao Wuji, and Shao Xin had each left to pursue their tasks, while he, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun stayed to train and cultivate.
• Ma Hongjun cultivated freely now that Dai Mubai was suppressing his Evil Fire, which also gave Dai Mubai more power to obtain when he cleared it away.
• Dai Mubai chose to remain at the academy and train rather than seek Soul Beasts, since Lu Qibin was the only person he trusted with knowledge of his Second Martial Soul and devouring ability.

• The student told Yu Xiaogang that the work-study students planned to gather at the back mountain to cheer Xiao Wu on.

He burned the letter and sent a work-study student to tell Tang San to represent the work-study students in a fight against Xiao Chenyu.
