Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu unexpectedly used a Martial Soul Fusion Skill to defeat Dai Huabin’s team, leaving Dai Huabin unconscious and Zhu Lu troubled by the consequences.

Huo Yuhao brought Zhu Lu to his office after she impulsively offered herself to him, and she apparently escaped through a window before Zhang Le Xuan arrived. Zhang Le Xuan then advised Huo Yuhao about the women who cared for him, and he spoke of his feelings for Jiang Nannan and Ma Xiaotao and his hopes for Xiao Xiao.

• Zhang Le Xuan told Huo Yuhao that Jiang Nannan liked him and warned him that his behavior toward other women could hurt them and create enemies.

• Xian Lin'er and Cai Meier admitted that Huo Yuhao had given them Immortal Herbs that helped them break through, and Cai Meier rebuked Yan Shaozhe for having alienated Huo Yuhao.

• Xian Lin'er rose in anger and warned that she would leave the academy with Huo Yuhao if it threatened him.
• Mu En told Xuan Zi that an academy needed a continuing stream of geniuses more than heavenly treasures, and Xuan Zi fell silent.

Xian Lin'er defended Huo Yuhao and confronted Xuan Zi over his past negligence, while the Elders continued debating whether Huo Yuhao’s talent justified the appointment.

• Mu En said the academy should help students develop their opportunities and assigned Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, Xuan Zi, and Song Lao to help Ma Xiaotao obtain a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

• Zhuang Lao questioned whether Huo Yuhao’s demonstrated talent was sufficient for him to become the Successor, and the Elders continued discussing the proposal.

Mu En revealed Huo Yuhao’s extraordinary talent, prompting the Sea God Pavilion Elders to agree that he should become their Successor, though they decided to ask his consent first. Zhang Le Xuan brought him to the Pavilion, where her awkward reaction to the previous night led Huo Yuhao to misunderstand her feelings before he learned about the Elders’ decision.

• Mu En explained that Huo Yuhao possessed a powerful Dragon Martial Soul and four ultimate attributes, convincing the Elders to support him as Sea God Pavilion Successor.
• Xian Lin'er insisted that the Elders ask Huo Yuhao whether he wanted the position, and Mu En sent Zhang Le Xuan to fetch him.
• Zhang Le Xuan found Huo Yuhao with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, then carried him toward the Sea God Pavilion and briefly tossed him into Sea God Lake.

• Zhang Le Xuan changed the subject and told Huo Yuhao about the Sea God Pavilion Meeting as they continued to the Pavilion.

Huo Yuhao rejected the Elders’ offer to make him the Sea God Pavilion Successor, arguing that he lacked the seniority and contributions to shoulder its duties. The meeting ended with the position deferred until he had made sufficient contributions, while Huo Yuhao tried to bargain for its benefits in advance.

• Lin Lao announced that the Elders considered Huo Yuhao qualified to become the Sea God Pavilion Successor, but Huo Yuhao declined and repeated Xuan Zi’s earlier criticism of him.
• Mu En prompted Xuan Zi to acknowledge Huo Yuhao’s contributions, and Xuan Zi reluctantly praised his Soul Hall reforms and use of Immortal Herbs.

• Song Lao listed the resources Huo Yuhao would forfeit by refusing, including Soul Rings, Soul Bones, treasures, and academy funds, prompting him to ask for the benefits immediately and the duties later.
• Mu En rejected Huo Yuhao’s bargain and ended the meeting, stating that Huo Yuhao would automatically become the successor after making sufficient contributions to the academy.
