• Lin Hai reviewed the seventh trial's requirements and concluded that mastering the Golden Thirteen Halberds would be its real challenge.

• Lin Hai teased Bo Saixi about tying her into different shapes, and she shyly asked him to stop before giving in to her curiosity.
• The Nine-Colored Goddess struggled to choose between Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, while the Emotion God weighed Hu Liena against Tang Yuehua.
