As Gu Yuena and Bi Ji discussed how to organize the nation, they read Dai Yichen’s diary entry about Tang San’s divine rewards and Bibi Dong’s decision to give the Heaven Dou Empire three days to surrender.

Bibi Dong resolved to change Dai Yichen’s opinion of her and improve her relationship with Qian Renxue, while the discussion turned to Qian Daoliu’s responsibility for Spirit Hall’s actions.

Xiao Wu, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong received powerful but complicated rewards, leaving Bibi Dong uncertain whether to use Pandora’s Box for Yu Xiaogang, Qian Renxue, or Qian Xunji. Several days later, Dai Yichen’s group encountered a dangerous Poison Armor Rhinoceros Python while traveling deeper into the area.

• Xiao Wu received Bewitchment Mastery, which greatly increased her Mental Power and strengthened her Charm illusions.
• Qian Renxue received Ultimate Fire, adding a second Ultimate Attribute to her Ultimate Light, then fell asleep from emotional and mental exhaustion.

• Several days later, Dugu Bo halted Dai Yichen’s group after hearing a faint hissing sound nearby.
• Dai Yichen used Mental Perception to locate a Poison Armor Rhinoceros Python about sixty meters ahead and recognized its poisonous scales and damage-reflecting ability.

• Dai Yichen identified the Poison Armor Rhinoceros Python as a roughly two-thousand-year soul beast suitable for Dugu Yan's third soul ring.

• The Poison Armor Rhinoceros Python tensed and watched Dai Yichen as he used Spirit Eyes and controlled both of his martial souls at once.

• Bi Ji collected the unconscious Auspicious Beast, warned Dai Yichen that he owed her a favor, and left with her.

• Dai Yichen reflected that he preferred strength to schemes and criticized Ning Fengzhi’s political maneuvering.
• Dugu Yan finished absorbing her soul ring and approached Dugu Bo, who immediately urged everyone to leave before she could explain her improvement or soul skill.

Dai Yichen and Dugu Bo warned a group led by Li Juan that the Star Dou Great Forest was dangerous, then Dai Yichen introduced himself as the Fourth Prince of the Star Luo Empire. Li Juan asked whether a talented commoner such as Xiao Wu could be admitted to Star Luo Royal Academy, leaving Dai Yichen’s recruitment opportunity open.

Xiao Wu accepted his help and resolved to build a friendship with him rather than seek further rewards through his diary.

• Dai Yichen secretly told Xiao Wu that he had concealed her soul beast aura and offered her the choice to enroll at Star Luo Royal Academy or leave without fear of exposure.

After Dugu Yan absorbed her third soul ring, Dai Yichen and the others left the Star Dou Great Forest and headed toward Gengxin City. Dai Yichen reflected on their encounter with the ferocious beast Scarlet King, then checked the points shop and found cultivation experience cards whose costs reassured him that he might have a way to survive a future crisis.
