• Huo Yuhao proposed the Myriad Spirit Platform, a sanctuary where soul spirits could live and choose their own Soul Masters.

Tang San encountered a ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider and tried to survive until Elder Xuan arrived. Elder Xuan killed the spider, but its venom threatened Tang San’s future development, so he had Tang San absorb a twenty-five-thousand-year Soul Bone.

• Tang San fled from the Man Faced Demon Spider and fired a distress flare, hoping Elder Xuan would come to help.
• The spider recognized the flare as Shrek’s and attacked Tang San to avenge its mate, which Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao had killed.

• Huo Yuhao recalled that Xiao Xiao had smoothly contracted a thirty-thousand-year Darkgolden Dreadclaw Bear Soul Spirit and obtained a Left Palm Bone, then refused her offer to give it to him.
• After Huo Yuhao refused the soul bone, Xiao Xiao’s feelings for him intensified and she decided she might as well act on them.

Xiao Xiao worked up the courage to visit Huo Yuhao and pursue him, while Wang Dong'er encouraged her but decided to delay her own relationship with him because of Sea God Tang San's plans. Xiao Xiao found Ye Guyi leaving Huo Yuhao's dormitory, then asked Huo Yuhao to teach her how to grill fish and went with him to dinner.

• Xiao Xiao complained to Wang Dong'er about the Spirit Pagoda's synthetic meat and suggested visiting Huo Yuhao for his cooking.

• Huo Yuhao taught Xiao Xiao to grill fish, and they shared a kiss after she used the last fish as an excuse to get close to him.
• After they cleaned up, Xiao Xiao told Huo Yuhao that Wang Dong'er had seemed strange and had not acted on her feelings; Huo Yuhao said he would encourage her further.

• Titan subjected Tang Yin to savage training, and Tang Yin realized that Da Ming and Er Ming seemed to be treating him like a punching bag on his original body's orders.

• Xiao Xiao told Wang Dong'er that the Spirit Pagoda competition roster had been announced and that its champion rewards included a Spirit Bone and a customized soul spirit.
• Xiao Xiao explained that she wanted to compete because her Martial Souls were comparatively weak, and Wang Dong'er questioned her plan to add Soul Rings to her Second Martial Soul.

He then met Gu Yue Na to discuss their plan against the Sea God and Tang San, aiming to reclaim the sea authority held in the Sea God Divine Position for the Douluo Plane.

• Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er teased one another about becoming intimate with Huo Yuhao, while Huo Yuhao left to meet Gu Yue Na.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na discussed their plan against the Sea God, targeting the Sea God Divine Position because it held the Douluo Plane's authority over the sea.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na planned to have Tang Yin undergo the Sea God Examination so they could obtain the Sea God Trident and reclaim the Sea God Divine Position without provoking Tang San directly. Gu Yue Na reaffirmed her trust in Huo Yuhao, then pulled him into an intimate encounter that they concealed from Qiu'er with his Simulation Soul Skill.

Huo Yuhao discussed Tang San’s plans and his own cultivation with Gu Yue Na and Qiu’er, then settled on asking the Plane Seed to help form his Sixth Soul Ring. After Huo Yuhao left to cook and Gu Yue Na went to bathe, Qiu’er saw a chance to spend the night with him.

• Qiu’er asked Gu Yue Na whether Tang San might pass down his divine position, and Huo Yuhao agreed they would wait for the right time before acting.
• Huo Yuhao considered Tang Yin’s Sea God inheritance, the Valley of Asking Love, and reclaiming the Power of Faith stored in Ascension Pavilion from the Clear Sky Sect.
