Back at iPartment, Xiao Xie learned that Lin Wanyu planned to sell the Optimus Prime toy Lu Zhanbo had given her, and suggested she ask Zeng Xiaoxian to sell it online.

After Wanyu lost Zhanbo’s Transformers, Xiao Xie helped ease the awkwardness by waiving everyone’s rent for a month. Later, he woke Ziqiao and Meijia after Guan Gu’s encounter with Xiao Xue went wrong, and the apartment residents resolved the resulting dispute with a lecture and compensation.

Xiao Xie realized that the Horned Winged Beast’s attack was a trap designed to draw out Ultraman Tiga. Tiga arrived on Benxiong Island but was ambushed by four more monsters and overwhelmed by all five.

• The Espada leader blasted the seven Horned Winged Beasts away, while the other nine Espada destroyed them with Cero that exhausted their Spiritual Power.
• You Qi ordered the remaining thirty-nine Horned Winged Beasts to Benxiong Island as the Espada leader announced that the Espada would leave.

Gula Fu, the Sword Immortal, and their allies helped the Espada defeat the Horned Winged Beasts, but You Qi’s War Fortress attacked the island. Xiao Xie’s remaining Shadow Clones destroyed the fortress, and after collapsing from exhaustion, he recovered and shared an intimate evening with baby.

• Gula Fu and more than twenty Magician Guild Shadow Clones froze twenty Horned Winged Beasts, while the Sword Immortal and Shu Mountain Disciples killed the beasts with Thunderclap Flash.

After returning from iPartment, Xiao Xie spent his Worship Points on a lottery and gained several powerful skills, artifacts, and bloodlines. He learned the Divine Refining Hand and other abilities, awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with Tsukuyomi and Kamui, and prepared to use his new powers in future battles.

• Xiao Xie left the iPartment world after spending his final days with baby and returned to his own world.
• Xiao Xie used his Worship Points to draw the Divine Refining Hand, the Hogyoku, the Earth Spirit Pearl, the Rat Talisman, and three other prizes.

• Xiao Xie used the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan bloodline card and awakened Tsukuyomi in his left eye and Kamui in his right.

Canaan Academy’s First Elder warned that Han Feng’s alchemist connections and possible Heavenly Flame made him a threat, and hoped Xiao Xie would help when the Fallen Heart Flame erupted. Xiao Xie joined Zi Yan to seek the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, where they found Han Yue and other students facing a Snow Demon Sky Ape.

• The First Elder told the yellow-robed elder to watch Han Feng and not hinder Xiao Xie if he acted during the Fallen Heart Flame’s eruption.

• The Snow Demon Sky Ape threatened the group and warned them to leave the valley.

Xiao Xie and Zi Yan found the Snow Demon Sky Ape’s cave and discovered Earth Core Body Tempering Milk beneath it. After Zi Yan drank the liquid in the cave, Xiao Xie found an even purer jade-green liquid inside a stalactite, leaving its nature unexplained.

• Zi Yan drank all the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk collected in a bluestone groove.
• Xiao Xie examined the largest stalactite and found jade-green viscous liquid inside it, astonishing Zi Yan with its purity.

Xiao Xie collected the original Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, shared some with Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin, and used the rest to temper his body. After drinking seven bottles, he greatly increased his physical strength and tested how tough he had become.

• Xiao Xie extracted more than half of the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk from the stalactite, leaving some behind to preserve it, and gave Zi Yan half of what he collected.
• Xiao Xie enhanced half a bottle of the milk in the Worship Space and opened a White Treasure Chest, obtaining White Ape's Fury and a Berserk Blood Orb.
• Xiao Xie gave bottles of the milk to Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin for medicinal baths, then drank seven bottles himself.
• Xiao Xie found that the milk no longer strengthened him after seven bottles and tested his body by cutting his palm with White Ape's Fury.
• Xiao Xie concluded that his body was tougher than an ordinary Mystic High Rank weapon but weaker than a low-grade Earth Rank weapon, and that his physical strength had increased at least tenfold.

After reaching Four Star Dou Huang, Xiao Xie stabilized his cultivation as the Inner Academy prepared for the Strong Ranking Tournament. Xiao Yi Xian claimed seventh place with her new Butterfly Dance Dou Skill, and Qing Lin entered the arena with her powerful Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.
