Ye Jiulong and Ling Wei delivered the Universal Battle Armor to the eccentric Blacksmith Association President, Huo Yan, who judged it a valuable failure. As Huo Yan reconsidered how to improve his work, a masked figure in a golden cloak confronted him about privately producing Soul Armor.

• Ye Jiulong and Ling Wei learned from Luo Hao that the Blacksmith Association President was a God-tier Divine Craftsman with an eccentric personality.

Meanwhile, Tang Chenfeng and his team began engraving a Mecha Core, while Wu Lintian assured Zi Yun that he had secured support for the academy.

• The golden-cloaked Dou Tian Master returned Huo Yan's Storage Soul Tool, offered to work with him, and explained that creating Soul Armor required mastering the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
