Shang Chao becomes his manager and reveals a new hero headquarters, while Cheng’s popularity grows—surpassing even the original E-Soul and angering his management.

Cheng is suddenly arrested, framed for Pomelo’s kidnapping. Though forced to stop using the E-Soul title, Enlighter and Chao prove his innocence. Cheng and Qing later visit the HQ, only to witness Chao get fatally shot by someone mistaking him for New E-Soul.
