Grandmaster goes into Shrek Academy and meets Headmaster for the first time in many years. He then agrees to teach spirit theory at Shrek Academy, which increases Shrek Academy to two teachers, five students, and one class auditor (HuLieNa). For the first week of classes, the students learn spirit theory from Grandmaster, and TangSan continues to earn money as a blacksmith in SuoTuo City. The academy then travels to a remote village where a strange fire and black smoke has been reported. Inside the village seems ominous, and the village chief is reluctant to answer their questions. They find the house that was burnt, and look for MaHongJun, the son of the man who died in the fire.
