As Flender and the others searched for a way to save him, Yu Xiaogang demanded Ning Rongrong help, and she angrily refused.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu trained the Imperial Dou Team and agreed to visit the night market with Ye Lingling and Qian Renxue.

• Ma Hongjun discovered that he could no longer use his Phoenix flames or his first two soul skills, and Yu Xiaogang blamed the loss on his failure to balance the energies.
