• Chen Xin suppressed his Soul Power and discussed his level 97 breakthrough with Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi, who both noticed something unusual about his aura.

After Chen Xin advanced to rank 97, Bibi Dong considered how Spirit Hall should respond to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and other potential obstacles.

• Madara offered to remove every obstacle to Bibi Dong's ascension, but she decided to try her own method first and call on him only if it failed.
