Jiang Yi practiced Life Resonance with Blue Silver Grass and continued developing a spiritual attack, while Huo Yuhao thanked him for helping him become Qian Duoduo’s disciple. In Spirit Mountain City, Li Lingyu learned that Shrek had agreed to establish a Martial Soul Research Academy and hesitated over Jiang Yi’s invitation to lead its research.

• Elder Zhuang demonstrated the Life Force Domain to Jiang Yi and told him to practice before reporting his insights the following week.
• Jiang Yi met Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao thanked him for helping him become Qian Duoduo’s disciple.

• Nearly a hundred eligible candidates gathered at the institute, and Jiang Yi, Wang Yan, and their helpers selected thirty of them.
• Jiang Yi introduced himself as Researcher Jiang, promised to instruct the candidates and provide cultivation resources, and told them to begin tests that day.

Jiang Yi used Color-Changing Ore to test the bloodline attributes of thirty Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters and found that one, Lei Kai, had a Lightning secondary attribute. After securing resources for their cultivation, Jiang Yi brought Lei Kai to the Martial Soul Research Institute to question him about his background.

• Jiang Yi and Wang Yan recorded the tests, finding that all thirty had Life as their primary attribute, while eighteen had Water, ten Earth, one Light, and Lei Kai Lightning.

• Luo Ping endured the vines, blasted them away with a lion’s roar, and then erupted in flames as Jiang Yi’s vines wrapped around him.

Jiang Yi, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Sanshi fought Luo Ping in a grade-skipping assessment, forcing the Soul Emperor to use his defensive Soul Skill before they conceded. After Lin Yu announced their success, her warning about dangerous experiments led Jiang Yi to realize she had been involved in Li Lingyu’s past.

• Luo Ping transformed into his Lie Yan Lion Emperor and attacked, but Jiang Yi’s Blue Silver Grass resisted his flames and Xu Sanshi helped break his charge.
