Chen Junting watched Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er defeat the final Super Douluo, then agreed to spar with their group so they could prepare for the Sea God Douluo's trial. After noticing that the trials resembled Tang San's old examinations and seemed designed to be manageable, Chen Junting began sparring with them, effortlessly breaking their opening attacks.

• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to defeat the Sea Rhino Super Douluo and pass the fifth examination.
• Chen Junting arrived at the Sea God Family Territory, met Huo Yuhao and the others, and agreed to spar with them after they rested.

Huo Yuhao and the others revised their plan after learning Chen Junting would simulate half the Sea God Douluo’s strength during the Sixth Examination. They launched the half-hour test with a coordinated escape ploy, but Chen Junting broke free of Huo Yuhao’s illusion and began searching for them.

• Huo Yuhao asked Chen Junting about the Sea God Douluo’s strength, and Chen Junting warned that a direct fight would be hopeless.

• Beibei, Ma Xiaotao, and Wu Feng attacked Chen Junting together, but he effortlessly dispelled their combined assault with one sword stroke.
• Huo Yuhao trapped Chen Junting in an illusion, then sent the others through ten Void Gates alongside decoys created with Simulation.
• Chen Junting broke free of the illusion, sensed spatial ripples in ten places, and realized the group had used them to buy time.

After sharing his suspicions with Huo Yuhao, Chen Junting’s revelations coincided with the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life learning that Tang San had caused Little Qi’s misfortune, prompting the God of Destruction to suspect Tang San was also targeting the Douluo Plane.

• Wang Dong'er announced that she would begin her Seventh Examination the next day, and Chen Junting approved her decision.
