Lin Chen and Xiao Wu's feelings for each other began to change as they grew closer in Heaven Dou City. Meanwhile, Tang San arrived at Shrek Academy to apply, where he met several other prospective students.

At Shrek Academy's second-round assessment, Tang San organized Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tuo Mushuo to face Zhao Wuji, a level seventy-six Soul Saint, and survive for one incense stick. Zhao Wuji overwhelmed their opening attacks, and Zhu Zhuqing's strike was stopped by his gravity ability.

• Zhao Wuji announced that the four newcomers had to work together to last one incense stick against him or be eliminated, prompting Ning Rongrong to protest the unfair assessment.
• Tang San assessed the group and assigned roles: Ning Rongrong would provide support, Zhu Zhuqing would harass Zhao Wuji, Tuo Mushuo would defend and disrupt, and Tang San would lead the attack.
• Zhao Wuji revealed his seven Soul Rings and Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul, and his pressure made Ning Rongrong stagger.
• Tang San launched Blue Silver Grass with Entanglement and Parasite, but Zhao Wuji broke free with Great Strength Vajra Palm and nearly struck Tang San, who dodged.
• Zhu Zhuqing used Hell Stab to attack Zhao Wuji from behind, but he activated Gravity Enhancement and slowed her, causing her strike to miss.

Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Tuo Mushuo fought Zhao Wuji, using teamwork and their abilities to hold him off until his powerful soul skills left them badly injured. With more than half their time remaining and the group close to defeat, Tuo Mushuo spread snake venom to disrupt Zhao Wuji as Tang San prepared to use his hidden weapons.

• Tang San used three Dragon Whisker Needles while Tuo Mushuo’s poisonous mist disrupted Zhao Wuji, but the assessment ended before Zhao Wuji could retaliate.
• Zhao Wuji declared Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tuo Mushuo had passed and told them classes would begin the next day.

• Lin Chen met Deputy sect master Wang of the Azure Wind Sect backstage after arranging the meeting in advance.

Lin Chen made a deal with Deputy Sect Master Wang before leading Xiao Wu home, then joined her and Ye Lingling for a practical combat match against Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Yu Feng. Lin Chen defeated Yu Tianheng in one move, leaving Yu Tianheng determined to catch up with him.

• Lin Chen offered the Azure Wind Sect an ore-refining method in exchange for discounted fine steel and black iron and help finding rare herbs and antiques, and Deputy Sect Master Wang agreed.
• Instructor Qin assigned Lin Chen, Xiao Wu, and Ye Lingling to fight Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Yu Feng in a three-on-three match.

• Lin Chen knocked Yu Feng away with a backhanded punch, then revealed his black Third Soul Ring and used Void Shift to defeat Yu Tianheng in one move.
• Yu Tianheng accepted his defeat and vowed to catch up to Lin Chen, while Dugu Yan glared at Lin Chen and followed Yu Tianheng away.

Lin Chen listened to Dugu Bo's lecture on poison before the Poison Douluo challenged him to test whether his Martial Soul could resist Jade Phosphor Cold Mist. Lin Chen raised his Chaos Shield as the poison struck, leaving the result unresolved.

• Lin Chen absorbed spatial power from Void Adamantine as the Chaos Pearl slowly increased his Void Shift range.
• Dugu Bo arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and lectured the students on poison techniques, while Dugu Yan anticipated him confronting Lin Chen.
• After the lecture, Dugu Bo called Lin Chen forward and accused him of bullying Dugu Yan and claiming immunity to poison.
• Lin Chen calmly explained that his Martial Soul resisted only low-level poisons, and Dugu Bo sent Jade Phosphor Cold Mist at him as a test.
• Lin Chen summoned his Chaos Shield, revealing his purple, purple, and black Soul Rings, and the Jade Phosphor Cold Mist struck the shield.

Lin Chen withstood Dugu Bo’s poison test until he escaped the stronger attack with his spatial Soul Skill, Void Shift. Dugu Bo became intensely interested in Lin Chen’s abilities and asked him to name his Martial Soul.

• Lin Chen’s Chaos Shield blocked Dugu Bo’s poison mist unleashed at thirty percent strength, astonishing the students and Dugu Bo.
• Dugu Bo increased the attack to forty percent strength, and the Jade Phosphor poison cracked Lin Chen’s shield and began seeping into his body.
• As the shield was about to break, Lin Chen used his Third Soul Skill, Void Shift, to escape the poison mist and reappear beside the steps.
• Dugu Bo recognized Lin Chen’s spatial Soul Skill, rushed over to examine him, and asked what his Martial Soul was called.
• Lin Chen answered that his Martial Soul was the Chaos Pearl while secretly forcing the remaining poison out through his fingertips.

After Dugu Bo acknowledged Lin Chen’s strength and compensated him with three rare treasures, Lin Chen gave Xiao Wu the Ice Fire Grass and decided to give an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to Ye Lingling. Ye Lingling recognized the herb’s value and refused to accept it, leaving Lin Chen’s offer unresolved.

• Dugu Bo praised Lin Chen’s Chaos Pearl Martial Soul, gave him three jade boxes as compensation, and warned him to take good care of Xiao Wu.
• Dugu Bo left the auditorium, while Meng Shenji praised Lin Chen and the students watched him with awe; Yu Tianheng vowed not to give up, and Dugu Yan’s hostility softened.
• Lin Chen gave Xiao Wu the Ice Fire Grass and explained that the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchids would better serve a Support System Soul Master.
• Lin Chen brought an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to Ye Lingling, who recognized it as a priceless treasure and said she could not accept it.

Lin Chen gave Ye Lingling an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, helping her break through to level thirty, then learned that the academy would train in the Star Dou Great Forest. Yu Xiaogang arrived at Shrek Academy to discuss his disciple Tang San with Flender.

• Lin Chen gave Ye Lingling the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and she absorbed it with his help to break through to level thirty.

• Yu Xiaogang arrived at Shrek Academy and reunited with Flender, explaining that he had come because of Tang San.
• Flender asked Yu Xiaogang about Tang San’s background and whether the Clear Sky Hammer had appeared when Zhao Wuji was beaten.

Yu Xiaogang revealed Tang San’s twin Martial Souls and identity to Flender, then stayed at Shrek Academy to train its new students. His demanding program began the next morning, when Oscar unexpectedly broke through to level thirty during the weighted run.

• Yu Xiaogang told Flender that Tang San had the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer Martial Souls and was Tang Hao’s son, warning him to keep the secret and protect Tang San.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to teach Shrek’s new students, and Flender invited him to join Zhao Wuji’s planned trip to the Star Dou Great Forest for Soul Rings.
• Tang San happily welcomed Yu Xiaogang as his instructor, while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked forward to his guidance and Ning Rongrong doubted his abilities.
• Yu Xiaogang began a strict training plan requiring the students to run twenty kilometers with weighted sandbags, practice Martial Soul control, spar, and study theory.
• During the morning run, Oscar broke through the level-twenty-nine barrier and reached level thirty.

Oscar reached level thirty, prompting the Shrek group to prepare for a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to find his Third Soul Ring. Meanwhile, Lin Chen and Xiao Wu joined a Heaven Dou Royal Academy expedition, where Lin Chen’s team headed toward the forest boundary in search of a suitable ring for Ye Lingling.

• Oscar broke through to level thirty, and Yu Xiaogang recommended a thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for his Third Soul Ring.
• Flender ordered Zhao Wuji to lead Yu Xiaogang and the seven students to the Star Dou Great Forest, and the group set out at dawn.

• Lin Chen told Xiao Wu that they would search for Holy Spirit Flowers in Butterfly Valley to find Ye Lingling a suitable Third Soul Ring.

Qin Ming’s team reached the Phantom Colorful Butterflies’ territory and was attacked by a swarm led by an eighteen-hundred-year-old Butterfly King. Lin Chen suppressed the butterflies’ mental assault with Chaos Suppression, leaving Qin Ming an opening to strike.

• Qin Ming split the students into two teams and led the first team east into the forest while Lin Wuyuan and Wang Ze took the second team west.
• Lin Chen sensed Phantom Colorful Butterflies nearby as the first team approached a mist filled with hallucinogenic scale powder.
• Qin Ming warned the team about the mental danger, and Ye Lingling’s healing halo helped Shi Mo recover from an illusion.
• More than a hundred Phantom Colorful Butterflies attacked, overwhelming the team’s defenses with mental fluctuations.
• Lin Chen used Chaos Suppression to immobilize the butterflies and stop their mental assault, then told Qin Ming to take the opportunity to attack.

Lin Chen helped Ye Lingling begin absorbing a 3,400-year-old Holy Spirit Flower, using his Chaos Soul Power to protect her meridians. Just as she reached her level-thirty bottleneck, Soul-Bewitching Smoke flooded the valley and man-eating flowers erupted from the ground.

• Qin Ming and Lin Chen defeated the Phantom Colorful Butterflies, and Lin Chen pointed out a Holy Spirit Flower deeper in the valley.
• Qin Ming warned that the 3,400-year-old flower was too powerful for Ye Lingling, but Lin Chen offered to guide and protect her absorption, and Ye Lingling agreed.
• Qin Ming, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Xiao Wu took guard positions while Lin Chen helped Ye Lingling absorb the flower.
• Ye Lingling absorbed the flower smoothly until its power reached her level-thirty bottleneck, when Soul-Bewitching Smoke swept into the valley.
• The smoke hypnotized Shi Mo and Shi Mo and disrupted Qin Ming and Xiao Wu, while more than a dozen man-eating flowers burst from the ground.

Lin Chen protected Ye Lingling while Qin Ming and Xiao Wu fought off the man-eating flowers’ poisonous smoke, mental attacks, and vines. Lin Chen and Qin Ming destroyed the parent plants, but the chapter left the group still facing the disturbance caused by a battle elsewhere in the forest.

• The man-eating flowers attacked Qin Ming and Xiao Wu with poisonous smoke and barbed vines, and Xiao Wu was wounded and numbed.
• Lin Chen used Chaos Shield and Chaos Suppression while stabilizing Ye Lingling’s medicinal absorption, despite the heavy drain on his Soul Power.
• Qin Ming and Xiao Wu struggled against the flowers as Lin Chen sensed that at least seven or eight thousand-year-old plants were attacking them.
• An earth-shaking battle sounded from the west, and Qin Ming suspected Instructor Lin and others had encountered outsiders.
• Lin Chen concentrated Chaos Suppression into mental spikes that struck the parent plants, allowing Qin Ming to burn them with Azure Wolf Burns the Heavens.
• The smoke and mental noise ceased, and Qin Ming and Xiao Wu emerged exhausted while the valley lay covered in scorched vines.

Ye Lingling used her strengthened Nine Heart Begonia to heal Lin Chen, Xiao Wu, Qin Ming, and the Shi Mo brothers, and the group headed west toward a growing disturbance. The chapter then shifted to Lin Wuyuan’s team pursuing a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and finding it already subdued by Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and the Shrek students.

• Lin Chen withdrew his Soul Power after stabilizing Ye Lingling, and Ye Lingling awakened and used Nine Heart Begonia: Bloom to heal everyone nearby.
• Xiao Wu praised Ye Lingling’s healing, and Qin Ming led the recovered group west toward the commotion.
• Lin Wuyuan’s team encountered a two-thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, and Feng Chi pursued it as a candidate for his Third Soul Ring.
• Lin Wuyuan, Yu Tianheng, and the others chased the serpent into rocky ground, where they found Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and seven students beside the subdued beast.

Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy disputed ownership of a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and agreed to settle the matter through a students’ battle. Ning Rongrong’s boosts shifted the even fight in Shrek’s favor, leaving Yu Tianheng reeling from Dai Mubai’s attack.

• Lin Wuyuan offered Zhao Wuji two Thousand-Year Soul Bone fragments for the serpent, but Zhao Wuji refused and proposed a fight between the students.
• Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai agreed that the winning team would claim the serpent, and both groups formed up on the riverbank.
• Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai fought, Zhu Zhuqing intercepted Yu Feng, and Tuo Mushuo countered Dugu Yan’s poison as the battle reached a stalemate.
• Ning Rongrong used her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to boost Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tuo Mushuo’s strength and speed.
• Dai Mubai activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation and struck Yu Tianheng, forcing him back and making him recognize the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Tang San’s Hidden Weapons helped Shrek gain the advantage over Heaven Dou, prompting Lin Wuyuan to challenge Zhao Wuji over the snake. Zhao Wuji fought Lin Wuyuan and Wang Ze while the students’ contest remained unresolved.

• Tang San struck Yu Tianheng with two Bone-Piercing Needles, allowing Dai Mubai to punch him and turn the student fight in Shrek’s favor.

• Ye Lingling used the Nine Heart Begonia to heal the Heaven Dou students and teachers, restoring their strength and clearing Dugu Yan's poison and numbness.

Lin Chen challenged Zhao Wuji’s claim to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and rebuked Yu Xiaogang before proposing a seven-on-seven match between the students. Both sides agreed, and the Shrek team began introducing its fighters as the contest was about to start.

• Lin Chen healed the Heaven Dou Royal Academy group, then confronted Zhao Wuji for bullying younger Soul Masters and introduced himself.
• Lin Chen mocked Yu Xiaogang’s teaching and the Shrek students’ use of Hidden Weapons, prompting Tang San and Dai Mubai to defend their teacher.

• The instructors withdrew as the Heaven Dou and Shrek teams formed up for the contest.
• Dai Mubai, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Tuo Mushuo, and Oscar introduced their levels and Martial Souls.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shrek introduced their fighters before Lin Chen revealed he was a level thirty-six Control System Soul Elder with a purple, purple, black Soul Ring combination. His ten-thousand-year third ring shocked both teams and left Yu Xiaogang confronting how completely Lin Chen had overturned his theories.

• Ning Rongrong introduced herself as a level twenty-six Support System Soul Grandmaster with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Dai Mubai taunted Heaven Dou for withholding names, and Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, the Shi Mo brothers, Ye Lingling, and Xiao Wu introduced themselves.

Lin Chen and the Heaven Dou team faced Shrek in a battle over the snake, with Lin Chen’s Chaos Suppression weakening Ning Rongrong’s amplification. The fight remained unresolved as the teams clashed across the rocky shoal.

• Xiao Wu mocked Shrek’s shock at Lin Chen’s Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Lin Chen challenged Dai Mubai’s team to fight for the snake.
• Both teams prepared their Soul Skills, and Dai Mubai opened the battle with his White Tiger attacks while Yu Tianheng countered with Thunder Dragon Claw.

• Xiao Wu intercepted Zhu Zhuqing as she tried to reach Lin Chen, and the two fought to a standstill.
• Dugu Yan and Tuo Mushuo clashed with poisonous mists, and Dugu Yan’s poisoned needles grazed Tuo Mushuo’s arm.

Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to restrain Heaven Dou and help Shrek regain the advantage, but Lin Chen used Void Shift to disable Oscar and corner Ning Rongrong. He demanded that she dismiss her Martial Soul or let him do it for her.

• Tang San caught Xiao Wu in Blue Silver Grass and redirected his Bone-Piercing Needles toward Lin Chen, but Xiao Wu teleported free and kicked Tang San, spoiling his aim.
• Tang San spread Blue Silver Grass across the battlefield and called for Oscar to supply Dai Mubai and Tuo Mushuo with sausages, allowing Shrek to press Heaven Dou back.

• Ning Rongrong attacked Lin Chen with her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but his Chaos Shield blocked the amplification light.
• Lin Chen suppressed Ning Rongrong until she could barely breathe, then demanded that she dismiss her Martial Soul or let him do it.

Lin Chen’s team broke Shrek’s formation by pressuring Ning Rongrong and cutting off her amplification, then turned the battle in their favor. Tang San was knocked down, Dai Mubai’s defense broke, and Ma Hongjun was left unable to rise as the fight continued against Tuo Mushuo.

• Lin Chen forced Ning Rongrong to choose between withdrawing her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda or having him do it himself, while Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan kept Shrek’s fighters occupied.
• With Ning Rongrong’s amplification and Oscar’s supplies unavailable, Shrek’s fighters weakened, and Ye Lingling healed the Heaven Dou team and cleared away the Blue Silver Grass.
• Dai Mubai used White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and Tang San fired the Godly Zhuge Crossbow at Lin Chen, but Lin Chen vanished and used Chaos Suppression to immobilize Tang San.
• Xiao Wu used Charm and Waist Bow to strike Tang San into rubble, knocking the crossbow from his hand and making him spit blood.
• Yu Tianheng broke Dai Mubai’s White Tiger shield with three punches, while Ma Hongjun was knocked down by a two-sided attack and could not get up.
• Dugu Yan’s poison mist left Tuo Mushuo in even worse shape than Ma Hongjun.

Lin Chen and Heaven Dou Royal Academy overwhelmed Shrek in their match, forcing Tang San to concede. Shrek left defeated, while Yu Tianheng warned that their team remained formidable despite Lin Chen’s decisive advantage.
