• Yu Xiaogang told Huo Yuhao that he could not travel to another world and urged him to bury Huo Yun'er before seeking a soul ring in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Huo Yuhao buried Huo Yun'er at Sun-Facing Slope, returned to their villa, and left after Yu Xiaogang challenged him to find a suitable First Soul Ring himself.

• Tang Ya eagerly ate the fish while Bei Bei apologized and asked why Huo Yuhao was traveling without an elder.

Huo Yuhao met Bei Bei and Tang Ya in the Star Dou Great Forest, where Tang Ya tried to recruit him into the Tang Sect. Teacher Yu Xiaogang revealed the incomplete state of the Tang Sect’s inheritance, and his phantom appeared before the couple, leaving Bei Bei kneeling in recognition of his ancestor.

• Bei Bei introduced himself and Tang Ya to Huo Yuhao, while Teacher Yu Xiaogang urged Huo Yuhao to befriend them.
• Huo Yuhao refused Bei Bei and Tang Ya’s offer to travel together, saying he wanted to complete his test alone.

• Huo Yuhao crossed into the Star Dou Great Forest, hoping to find a suitable Mental Power-type Soul Beast after a year of training.
• Huo Yuhao sensed a Wind Baboon's killing intent and killed it with one enhanced punch.
• Yu Xiaogang told Huo Yuhao to set out a canister containing Soul Beast origin, and Huo Yuhao sensed a powerful aura beneath the ground.

• Huo Yuhao awakened with matching butterfly wings on his back, an External Soul Bone evolved from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Remnant Retreat.

Huo Yuhao received Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as his Wisdom Soul Ring, escaped the Star Dou Great Forest, and examined the soul skills Yu Xiaogang had chosen for him. Di Tian mistakenly took a leftover Soul Tool containing soul beast origin power as evidence of a new Human Soul Master invention and returned to report it.

• Yu Xiaogang left Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm alone, while Tian Meng transformed into a girl and lamented that she could no longer be with Bing Bing.
• Huo Yuhao awoke feeling overwhelmed by Tian Meng’s power, asked her to seal most of it, then concealed his presence with Simulation and flew away using his External Soul Bone.
• Di Tian arrived too late to stop Tian Meng’s sacrifice, found the Soul Tool Huo Yuhao had left behind, and mistook it for a device that could store soul beast origin power.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the river where he had met Bei Bei and the others, grilled fish, and inspected his First Soul Ring and its four skills: Mental Detection, Mental Sharing, Mental Recovery, and Mental Barrier.

After absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's soul ring and External Soul Bone, Huo Yuhao struggled with his feminized appearance before returning home and entering his transformed Sea of Consciousness. There, he found Yu Xiaogang's Divine Sense and an unfamiliar black presence, while Tian Meng explained her history with the Ice Emperor Scorpion, Bing Bing.

• Tian Meng sprang up and told Huo Yuhao about meeting Bing Bing, the Ice Emperor Scorpion, while Huo Yuhao realized she had mistaken the predator's hunger for affection.

Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng joked about her transformation into a female butterfly before she explained that he had gained a second, ice-attribute martial soul. Tian Meng persuaded him to consider traveling to the Far North to recruit Bing Bing, though Huo Yuhao remained wary of her motives.

• Huo Yuhao teased Tian Meng about becoming a woman and falling for Bing Bing, and the two chased each other through his Sea of Consciousness.
• Tian Meng thanked Huo Yuhao for freeing her from the Star Dou Great Forest and praised Yu Xiaogang for helping her clan transform into butterflies.
• Tian Meng explained that Huo Yuhao had gained a second martial soul with an ice-attribute origin, which would take the form of the beast that provided its first soul ring.

• Huo Yuhao questioned whether Bing Bing would willingly sacrifice herself, but Tian Meng's proposal began to sway him.

• Huo Yuhao read Yu Xiaogang’s letter, which urged him to travel and assured him that the Ice Emperor Scorpion would be a good choice for his Second Martial Soul.

After learning that Huo Yuhao’s teacher was a god, the Ice Emperor tested Huo Yuhao’s mental resilience and began to believe Tian Meng’s claim.

• The Ice Emperor attacked Tian Meng, but Tian Meng calmly blocked her strikes and explained that she had sacrificed herself to become Huo Yuhao’s Wisdom Soul Ring.
