• Xiao Lin planned to train his body and cells, strengthen his soul power, excavate the Mountain Dragon King's Fossil Soul Bone, and prepare to face the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• After recovering, Tang Ni asked Xiao Lin how she could earn the Fire God's recognition, and he led her to the Back Mountain woods.

• Tang Ni grasped the Sub-Fire and began absorbing it despite burning her palm, while Xiao Lin cooled her hand with Ultimate Ice.
• The Fire God sensed Xiao Lin's frigid power and angrily accused him of betraying him for the Ice God's inheritance.

After Tang Ni obtained the Sub-Fire, she left to seek her Fifth Soul Ring, while the Fire God set her a punishing first trial.

• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings told Xiao Lin that they had considered making him the new Dragon God, but his lack of Dragon God bloodline made the path difficult and might let him surpass the Dragon God.

Xiao Lin set out for the Extremely North Land to obtain a Comet Snow Wolf soul ring for Bai Chenxiang, after she gave him the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
