• Zhu Zhuqing proposed a lineup of Dugu Yan, the two Shi Family Brothers, Osler, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and herself.

• Ning Rongrong sent Xiao Lin a Storage Soul Tool containing a Black Card, gems, and a note offering him money, and Xiao Lin replied that four million Gold Soul Coins were still missing from his allowance.

Their healing energy revived Qin Ming and spurred Tang San’s Blue Silver King toward evolution, while elsewhere Ah Yin began regaining consciousness.
