Zhuan Sun Hongxing tried to explain a troubling situation to Zhuo Shi, while Tang Wulin and Luo Ze secretly planned to escape the strange routine controlling Binhai Town. With two days to reach Rank 40, Luo Ze decided to risk using his inherited dragon blood to force a breakthrough.

• Zhuan Sun Hongxing cautiously asked Zhuo Shi and the others to hear his explanation before getting angry.
• Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Tang Wulin discussed their peaceful life in Binhai Town, and Xie Xie bragged about his prize-winning vegetables.

• Tang Wulin vowed to break through to Rank 40 within two days, and Luo Ze revealed that their survival depended on him.
• Luo Ze produced a bottle of pure dragon blood and resolved to risk using it to force a breakthrough before his failing body gave out.

Luo Ze hid his meeting with Tang Wulin from Xiao Yiyi, whose patience with him had run out and who planned to claim him as a sacrifice in two days. Meanwhile, the young girl at the Spirit Pagoda learned that the Federation had refused another rescue mission, and Tang Wulin met Luo Ze outside Binhai Town after breaking through to Soul Ancestor.

• Luo Ze gripped his ring and considered whether dispersing the monster’s blackish-purple mist could defeat her.

Luo Ze and Tang Wulin used their fused Qilin and Golden Dragon power to defeat the woman surrounded by blackish-purple mist, but the battle left Luo Ze dangerously exhausted. As they began recovering on the island, the clock hand returned to twelve and a bell rang, signaling a new threat.
