At the Seagod Pavilion at Shrek, Guang Liang (Xinglan's master) ask Yun Ming about the motive of bringing the children to the trip towards Star Luo Continent, asking if he is preparing them to become the next devils.
Yun Ming answer that regrettably some of them aren't destined to be the future of Shrek, referring to Weilan and Xueqin that are expected to be part of the Spirit Pagoda. He says that the trip is to let other the opportunity to become one of the devils.
Xueqin's group of eight prepare to their trip going to the port city, Weilan complaining to the ship travel when it would be far faster using an airplane.
Airplanes are highly distributed a common thing that even commoners are able to take. This is all thanks to the Dawn Church that in their way to improve the everyday life of even no spirit masters had focused a lot over the transport, being the inventor of the trains and airplanes and controlling the airspace with secure routes against spirit beasts or natural disasters.
However, the reason to take the ship is that the main purpose of the trip is to foment cooperation between the Douluo Continent and Star Luo Continent, the trip being part of it.
In the trip, they would stay with Wulin's quartet, becoming friends of them. They will also meet the 7th wing of the Dawn Church who is traveling with them, participating in the exchange. He is an old man without any soul power with two titled douluos as bodyguards. He had a great intelligence and is the responsibility of most the Dawn Church newest inventions, the actual airplanes being what they are thanks to him.
The 7th wing meet Xueqin and is curious about their mecha that they used in the skysea tournament.
He informs him and his group about his feasts and that the Dawn Church main objective is to improve the life of everyone, strength not being indispensable to have a high rank. He will also spat about the Tang Sect, hate in his tone.
The truth was that the Tang Sect was a complete hidden organization over the Douluo Continent, with very little power in it. This is due to the great influence of the Dawn Church that suppressed the Tang Sect. It's especially true with the actual Pope, since him becoming Pope, he had erased the Tang Sect from the continent, pushing most of the people's opinion against them, blaming them to be opportunistic that wants to spread the war and destruction over as they are specialized over weapons creation, gaining less in a peaceful time.
However, over the Star Luo Continent where strength are fights are more common, the Dawn Church is not so important and the Tang Sect can act more in the public.
The 7th wing said goodbye not without offering them a place over the Dawn Church, they rejecting it and he acepting it with a knowing smile.
In the ball at the ship, Xueqin's partner is Na'er, but in the end he finishes dancing with every girl of the group. The other pairs are Lizhi and Weilan, Guangying and Wu Zhangkong, Wulin and Gu Yue, and Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan. The winners of the best pair becoming Guangying and Wu Zhangkong.
Once they arrive at the Star Luo Continent, they are guided to the Monster Academy and presented with the opportunity to participate in the tournament. Xueqin decides to participate in the 1vs1 as the winning prize is a spirit bone and in the 2vs2 with Weilan.
They participate in the 2vs2 because Weilan wanting to fight against Ye Zhi. Ye Zhi is part of the Ye family, a branch of the Ning family which also posses the Seven Treasure Pagoda. It became some of a custom for the Ning family members to beat over the Ye members, showing their clear superiority.
In the 1vs1, the Earth Dragon King Long Yue wins over Yehui, injuring her. With the last hit, Yehui's pendant is shown and Xueqin doesn't miss it, instantly recognizing it as the one that Chi always wore.
At that moment, he can no longer negate it, Chi was Yehui. Unconsciously, he had already discovered it once she had show the fusion of her domains, but his consciousness had hired the fact, not daring to change their friendly relationship and causing Yehui to flew away again.
In the semifinals, Long Yue beats Wulin almost killing him, but being stopped by Guangying interruption who creates a barrier of light between both. Wulin's master (The Body Sect one) appears and brought him away, bringing also Guangying with him as she offered to heal him, she being Ya Li's disciple, Ya Li being considered the best healing spirit master.
In the finals, Xueqin faces Long Yue. He is completely mad towards him, in fury of him beating Yehui and making Na'er and Wuhua worry about almost killing Wulin.
The Golden Dragon King's anger takes control of him during the fight, scales growing all over his body and even abandoning his sword as he fights against Long Yue who also entered into a frenzy state, using all his power.
Thanks to Yehui's cry, showing herself mostly recuperated, Xueqin's is able to calm a little, letting the Angelic Halo inside him activate and cleaning the Golden Dragon King's anger away.
Then, he activates his battle armor, sprouting wings, showing that he had been able to upgrade to a 2-words and that he is able to use them even as a Spirit King. He names himself as Red Sword Ning Xueqin, Sword for his spirit and Red for Chi.
However, the anger of his Golden Dragon seemed to have affected Long Yue who becomes even madder and stronger, boosting his defense to a level that Xueqin is unable to cut him over.
At that moment, with 15 years, Xueqin breaks through the Sword Heart, using an Excalibur with his twin swords. He beats Long Yue who falls unconscious, winning the tournament and winning the spirit bone.
After the 1vs1, Xueqin wants to meet Yehui and have a talk with her, telling that he knows that she is Chi and wants to clear their situation. However, he is never able to be alone with her, so he decides to talk with her after the tournament in some more intimate place.
The 2vs2 are mostly skipped over, Long Yue not even participating in them. The only thing is Weilan and Xueqin facing Ye Zhi and her partner, guardian and lover, Hua Lantang, the Wolf King.
Weilan alone beats both of them, disturbing Ye Zhi with her guns while fighting Lantang with her spear, showing the strength of the main family.
In the team tournament, Xueqin, Weilan, Na'er decided to not participate, letting Wulin's group as their replacement, becoming similar as in canon, but with Wuhua participating in it. Wuhua's spirit is extremely effective with Wulin, boosting him three times more than anyone them and being able to use his Blue Silver Emperor as her own.
Shrek finishes winning all the tournaments, showing their strength over Star Luo Continent.
After the celebrations are over and they start sightseeing the continent, Wulin's separates from the group, needing to do something important alone (Participating in the mission of the Tang Sect).
While they are sightseeing, Xueqin finds the perfect moment to talk with Yehui about her being Chi, but as he was about to drag her alone, the dragon inside growls, causing a strong reaction. He is able to control it, but he is attracted to a hooded person walking over the city. Unconsciously, he follows it, but he lost the hooded person into an alley.
While he is confused and was ready to return, a space crack suddenly appears and he is swallowed by it. Once he opens his eyes, he finds himself over the Dragon Valley.
