• As Xiao Xian and Liu Er Long exchanged blows without using Martial Souls, Flender saw that Xiao Xian overwhelmed her through physical strength and combat skill.
• Flender realized Xiao Xian's physique was at least at the level of a Titled Douluo and exclaimed in excitement.

Xiao Xian returned to Vast Sea City with Tang San and learned how the others had been living in hiding. Flender and Master took them underground to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to treat Tang Hao.

• Tang San realized Xiao Xian's body was strong enough to withstand exceptionally powerful soul rings, while Flender began considering Hundred-Thousand-Year soul rings for him.

• Master led Xiao Xian, Tang San, and Flender through a hidden passage beneath the building to an underground chamber where Liu Er Long was waiting.

Xiao Xian and Flender’s group tried to heal Tang Hao, but the strange Bloody Spirit Power kept returning and their Soul Power was insufficient to remove it completely. Tang San took hope from the possibility that Xiao Xian would grow strong enough to finish the treatment, and Xiao Wu was overjoyed to find Xiao Xian at dawn.

• Flender led Xiao Xian and the others to the underground chamber, where Xiao Xian used the Golden Triangle Formation and Xiao Jue to begin treating Tang Hao.
• Tang San explained that Xiao Jue could hide its soul rings, and Master learned that Tang San had awakened the Blue Silver Domain.
• After three hours, Xiao Xian stopped the treatment because the Bloody Spirit Power was still eroding Tang Hao and the group lacked the Soul Power to drive it out completely.
• Master reassured Tang San that Tang Hao’s injuries would not worsen and that Xiao Xian could try again after becoming stronger.
• At dawn, Xiao Wu spotted Xiao Xian in the corridor and pounced toward him, calling out to Brother Xian.

Xiao Xian persuaded Flender to take him to an auction, where he bought the Dragon Abyss Boat for their future search at sea. After the group returned to their estate, Tang San discovered that someone had broken in, leaving everyone on alert.

• Tang San pointed toward the underground passageway and told the group that someone had broken in.

Xiao Xian took the Shrek group to Vast Sea City’s Great Soul Arena to watch Sea Soul Masters battle. As Sea Python and Deep Sea Shark began their match, Xiao Xian considered how to trick Flender into visiting the nearby auction.

• Xiao Xian summoned Xiao Jue to guard the house, then joined Tang San and the others for a meal with Flender and Master.
• Xiao Xian suggested they visit the Great Soul Arena, and the group traveled there together.

• Tang San pointed toward the underground passageway and told the group that someone had broken in.

After three intruders were found dead beneath the cabin, Flender weighed whether the group should move, while Xiao Xian’s sixth soul ring became the focus of their discussion. The group considered seeking a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but they had no reliable way to locate one and decided against asking Liu Er Long’s clan for information.

• Xiao Xian detected three black-robed Spirit Masters in the passage, and Tang San examined their bodies and found no sign they were more than ordinary thieves.
• Flender asked Xiao Xian and Tang San to remain behind while the others left, then discussed whether the group should relocate.
• Tang San suggested using the disturbance as an opportunity to help Xiao Xian obtain his sixth soul ring before the group continued toward Sea God Island.
• Master identified the Black Water Python and Pure Water Giant Crab as possible soul beasts but said neither was especially suitable for Xiao Xian.
• Xiao Xian revealed that his physique had reached the Titled Douluo level, making a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast’s ring possible, and Master explained that such a beast could compensate for mismatched attributes.
• Liu Er Long offered to seek information from her clan, but Flender rejected the idea because their whereabouts might be exposed.

Xiao Xian proposed going to Sea God Island to find a suitable spirit ring, but Master warned that the journey was too dangerous for the group. Xiao Xian instead decided they should leave Vast Sea City and hide at sea, only for Flender to kill a hidden watcher and order everyone to move immediately.

• Xiao Xian considered using the Vast Sea Universe Cover or seeking a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, then proposed traveling to Sea God Island for a suitable soul beast.

After Flender discovered that Spirit Hall’s agents had been watching the Shrek group in Vast Sea City, Xiao Xian led everyone out of the city and into the sea aboard the Dragon Abyss Boat. By dawn, the pursuers arrived too late, and the group traveled onward underwater toward Sea God Island.

• Flender found a corpse and realized that hidden observers had learned the Shrek group’s identities and likely reported them to Spirit Hall.
• Xiao Xian led the group through Vast Sea City, using his Spiritual Power to incapacitate guards and evade sentries on the way to the eastern gate.
• At the shore, Xiao Xian launched the Dragon Abyss Boat, and the group boarded and helped power it toward the deep sea.
• Before the boat submerged, a purple-gold dragon head erased the group’s scents and traces, leaving witnesses dazed.
• Hundreds of Spirit Masters searched the group’s former courtyard at dawn, but the Shrek group had already escaped.
• The group watched colorful fish and coral as the Dragon Abyss Boat traveled through the underwater scenery.

Xiao Xian brought the Shrek group to Volcano Island aboard the Dragon Abyss Boat, where Flender led them to a hidden passage to shelter from Spirit Hall. Meanwhile, Spirit Hall uncovered clues that they had escaped by sea, and Ning Fengzhi realized the Worship Hall might have joined the pursuit.

• Xiao Xian used the Dragon Abyss Boat and Xiao Jue's Dragon Might to travel safely through the sea toward Volcano Island.
• Xiao Xian brought the group ashore at Volcano Island, where Ma Hongjun recognized the place as his former training ground.
• Flender told the group they might need to hide on the island for several days and led them toward a passage he had dug beneath the volcanic crater.

• Ning Fengzhi received news that Shrek had escaped Vast Sea City, and Chen Xin warned him that Spirit Hall's hidden Worship Hall might be involved.
• Flender jumped into the concealed entrance beneath the crater, and Xiao Xian followed the group inside.

The Shrek group hid in Flender’s cave after escaping Spirit Hall, while Xiao Xian resolved to seek Sea God Island for a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. Flender proposed the Sky Azure Bull Python as an alternative, but Xiao Xian rejected the dangerous plan, and Xiao Jue began searching the sea for information.

• Flender led the group into a hidden stone chamber and planned to investigate Vast Sea City after they rested.
• Flender considered the Sky Azure Bull Python as a possible Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring for Xiao Xian.
• Xiao Xian sent Xiao Jue into the sea to search for information about Sea God Island and planned to find the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.
• Flender told Xiao Xian about the Sky Azure Bull Python, but Xiao Xian argued that hunting it near Spirit Hall was too dangerous.
• Spirit Hall withdrew its forces from Vast Sea City, and an ordinary-looking old man ordered them to focus their search on the sea.
• Xiao Jue spotted a merchant ship while searching underwater.

Xiao Jue found Spirit Hall Spirit Masters aboard a merchant ship and discovered they were heading to Purple Pearl Island. After learning Spirit Hall was seeking the Purple Pearl Pirate Group’s help, Xiao Xian flew toward Sea God Island to draw the pursuit away from his companions, while Flender returned to find Xiao Xian gone.

• Xiao Jue followed a merchant ship carrying Spirit Hall Spirit Masters to an island guarded by pirates and identified it as Purple Pearl Island.
• Xiao Jue returned to Volcano Island and informed Xiao Xian that Spirit Hall had reached the Purple Pearl Pirate Group and might use its power to search for them.
• Xiao Xian decided to reach Sea God Island before Spirit Hall could make an agreement with the pirates, then left on Xiao Jue and gave Tang San the Dragon Abyss Boat.
• Flender returned from Vast Sea City and reported that Spirit Hall had exposed their false leads and sent Huyan Zhen to pursue them.
• Master told Flender that Xiao Xian had likely gone to Purple Pearl Island and then Sea God Island to draw Spirit Hall’s attention away from the group.

Xiao Xian left Purple Pearl Island with a sea chart showing the route to Sea God Island and flew there with Xiao Jue. After preparing for the journey and replenishing his Soul Power, he landed on Sea God Island.

• Flender decided to move his group away from Volcano Island because Spirit Hall had learned about the Dragon Abyss Boat and might be pursuing them.
• Xiao Xian and Xiao Jue watched Spirit Hall confront the pirates on Purple Pearl Island, then flew to the island’s far side so Xiao Xian could search a wooden house.
• Xiao Xian subdued two elderly pirates, found a water-attributed Left Arm Bone and a sea chart marking Sea God Island, and memorized the route.
• The two pirates discovered Xiao Xian had left the spirit bone behind, then one attacked the other with a hidden sword as Xiao Xian and Xiao Jue flew away.
• Xiao Xian and Xiao Jue crossed the sea by air, avoiding dangerous Sea Soul Beast regions, and Xiao Xian prepared Water Skins and pills infused with Sunlight Spores.
• After replenishing his Soul Power in the clouds, Xiao Xian dismissed Xiao Jue and landed on Sea God Island.

Xiao Xian reached Sea God Island and insisted on undergoing Poseidon's trial despite warnings that trials for land Spirit Masters were especially difficult. At the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, Seahorse Douluo required him to cross the Sea of Seas, and Xiao Xian charged directly into a towering wave.

• Xiao Xian landed on Sea God Island after sensing no hostility from the Deep Sea Great White Sharks, and discovered that the island's energy interfered with his Spiritual Power.
• Eight yellow-clothed Sea Soul Masters confronted Xiao Xian, but he declared that he wanted to take the trials and join Sea God Island; their leader agreed to escort him onward.
• The group reached the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, where the yellow-clothed leader asked Lord Seahorse to grant Xiao Xian permission to take the trial.
• Seahorse Douluo told Xiao Xian he had to cross the Sea of Seas to reach the Sacred Pillar, then raised a huge wave to block his path.
• Xiao Xian stepped into the air and plunged straight into the oncoming wave.

Xiao Xian overcame Seahorse Douluo’s waves and received a Red Tier Eighth Trial on Sea God Island. After following Seahorse Douluo to Seahorse City, he checked his first assessment and learned that Xiao Jue had the same task.

• Xiao Xian crossed Seahorse Douluo’s towering waves without summoning his martial soul and reached the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
• The Sacred Pillar’s light changed from blue to black and then erupted in red, granting Xiao Xian the Red Tier Eighth Trial.
