After Shrek Academy drew Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, Wang Yan proposed forfeiting because Shrek’s depleted team seemed badly outmatched. Beibei refused and revealed that he and Xu Sanshi could temporarily reach Soul King-level strength, then urged Wang Yan to prepare a plan to win.

• Shrek’s team assessed Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy’s five Soul Kings and concluded they had little chance in the Individual Elimination Match or Two-Two-Three.
• Wang Yan suggested forfeiting, while Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen agreed that the Reserve Team should not be expected to overcome the gap in strength.

Wang Yan prepared Shrek’s Reserve Team for the possible match formats against Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, planning to use Xu Sanshi’s skill to target their captain and Huo Yutong’s Spiritual Detection to aid the team.

Tang Wulin refused to let Huo Yutong use Spiritual Detection Sharing to help Shrek cheat in an Individual Elimination Match, and Huo Yutong backed him.

• Tang Wulin objected to using Huo Yutong's Spiritual Detection Sharing during the Individual Elimination Match, arguing that it would violate the rules and undermine fair competition.

• Tang Wulin thanked Huo Yutong and decided to enter seclusion to break through the Golden Dragon King's Fourth Seal and become strong enough to win without cheating.

With Tang Wulin still in seclusion, Beibei took command of Shrek’s match against Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy after they drew the unfavorable Two-Two-Three format. He sent Xu Sanshi and He Caitou into the first round, betting that Tang Wulin would emerge in time to turn the match around; the opening fight began with both teams’ plans disrupted.

• After two days passed without Tang Wulin ending seclusion, Beibei drew the Two-Two-Three format for Shrek’s match against Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.

• The referee started the first match.

Xu Sanshi and He Caitou were trapped in Little Madman’s smoke, which blocked their senses and left them unable to locate their opponents. They realized too late that the smoke carried neurotoxin, and their position became increasingly perilous.

• Xu Sanshi shielded He Caitou while He Caitou equipped his Soul Tool Cannons, but Little Madman covered the arena in purple smoke.
• Qing Feng attacked with earthen spears, while He Caitou’s cannon shell vanished into Little Madman’s sensory-blocking Fourth Soul Skill.
• Xu Sanshi told He Caitou to hold their ground and wait for Little Madman’s Soul Power to run low.
• Little Madman and Qing Feng stopped attacking, and Xu Sanshi and He Caitou gradually became dizzy as Little Madman’s neurotoxin took effect.

After Shrek Academy lost its second match, Huo Yutong and Wang Dong faced two Soul Kings in a desperate fight to keep the competition alive. Huo Yutong fought fiercely with her Ice Blue Longsword and External Soul Bone, while Shrek still awaited Tang Wulin’s return.

• Qing Feng defeated He Caitou with his Invincible Shield, giving Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy the second match.
• Beibei apologized to Huo Yutong and said he would stay for the final match to wait for Tang Wulin; Huo Yutong agreed to fight two opponents with Wang Dong.
• Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy sent out Gu Zhujian and Han Ling'er, both Soul Kings, against Huo Yutong and Wang Dong.
• Huo Yutong met Han Ling'er's charge with her Ice Blue Longsword, then used her emerald scorpion-tail External Soul Bone to block Han Ling'er's attack on Wang Dong.
• Gu Zhujian blocked Huo Yutong's follow-up strike for Han Ling'er, but the sword's chill stiffened his body and made him realize he could not defeat Huo Yutong alone.

Huo Yutong used the Snow Empress’s Sword Dance to evade and counter Gu Zhujian and Han Ling’er, gradually gaining the upper hand. As the fight reached its decisive moment and a blizzard obscured the arena, Tang Wulin arrived at Shrek’s player area.

• Tang Wulin apologized for arriving late, then joined Beibei and Zhou Sichen to face Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy in the deciding match.

Tang Wulin and Beibei fought Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy in a crucial team match, with Tang Wulin facing the powerful Qian Yuan and Beibei awakening his Radiant Sacred Dragon Bloodline. The battle continued with Tang Wulin discovering that his newly learned technique could wound Qian Yuan through his defenses.

• Qian Yuan, Chi Hengyu, and Tang Niuniu opened the match with their strength, defense, and support abilities, but Tang Wulin's first clash pushed Qian Yuan back.

After Shrek Academy finished the Round Robin undefeated, the team accepted invitations to a Top-tier Auction at the Starlight Auction House. They learned that auctioneer Xu Jiujiu was the Star Luo Emperor’s younger sister, and the auction began with a Level 8 Soul Tool.

• Xu Jiujiu introduced the first item, a Level 8 Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade containing a ten-thousand-year soul bone skill.

At the Star Luo auction, Dai Yueheng bought the Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade, a Level 8 Soul Tool the royal family had offered to help strengthen his claim to the Duke White Tiger title. Shrek Academy then won a set of Fixed Soul Tool Cannon Shells, while Xu Jiujiu watched the royal family's plan proceed.

• Xu Jiujiu watched Shrek's purchase with satisfaction because it matched the royal family's plan.

At the Starlight Auction House, Shrek watched as an exceptionally rare Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Soul Bone was revealed. Its origin stunned the group and enraged the beings in Huo Yutong’s Sea of Consciousness, and the chapter left them realizing it had come from Ice Empress’s clan.

• A buyer paid seven million Gold Soul Coins for the World-Splitting Cannon, while Wang Yan chose not to bid.
• Xu Jiujiu introduced the eighth auction item, an emerald-green Ice Attribute Left Arm Soul Bone estimated to be fifty thousand to seventy thousand years old.
• Tian Meng reacted with disbelief, Ice Empress cursed, and Snow Empress released a powerful sense of oppression when they saw the Soul Bone.
• Xu Jiujiu revealed that the Soul Bone came from an Ice Jade Scorpion, prompting Shrek’s group to turn toward Huo Yutong.
• Huo Yutong understood that the Soul Bone had been dropped by a member of Ice Empress’s clan.

Huo Yutong learned that the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone contained the powerful Ice Explosion Technique but could only be absorbed by someone with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. She warned the Starlight Auction House, and Xu Jiujiu hurried off to address the issue.

• Xu Jiujiu described the Ice Explosion Technique, and Tian Meng, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress urged Huo Yutong to obtain the Soul Bone.

• Huo Yutong told Ling Luochen why the Soul Bone was unsafe for her, and Ling Luochen accepted that she would not obtain it.

Xu Jiujiu told Xu Jiawei that Huo Yutong had warned them about the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, and Xu Jiawei decided to preserve the auction while preparing to help the Shrek students. After the soul bone’s price soared, Xu Jiujiu unveiled a Hundred-thousand-year Dragon Blood Ganoderma Immortal Grade as the final item, startling Tang Wulin because it resembled an herb tied to the Golden Dragon King’s Sixteenth Seal.

• Xu Jiujiu reported Huo Yutong’s warning to Xu Jiawei, who told her to proceed and said he would meet the students later.
• The auction continued, and Wang Yan stopped bidding on the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone after its price rose beyond Shrek’s reach.
