• Gu Ziyi used a wide-area soul skill to expose Bibi Dong’s concealment and asked her to help copy it onto a talisman.

After reaching the island with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, Qian Xunji encountered its powerful defenders and was told to leave.

• Bibi Dong failed to refine the Sea God's Heart because her dark attribute did not match its power, while Gu Ziyi blamed his non-optimal soul rings for his own failure.
