Luo Ling and the others began the Sea God’s Second Test, a difficult ring-sea crossing that prohibited flying, using Soul Ring skills, harming Sea Soul Beasts, or being struck by them. After Bibi Dong and the others failed to pass, the Demon Soul Great White Shark revealed her human form as Xiao Bai and challenged Luo Ling to try.

• Luo Ling had reached Level 81 and gained 30% affinity with the Primordial God after the group completed the First Test and fulfilled the Primordial God’s follower requirement.

Luo Ling challenged Xiao Bai to let him ride her if he broke through her blockade, provoking her into accepting after he claimed she had once been the Sea God's mount. While Xiao Bai prepared, Luo Ling told Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo that they would attempt to pass the second trial together.
