Wu Changkong explained that the Hero Hall offered advanced training and revealed that passing the assessment qualified them to join the Tang Sect, leaving Tang Wulin and his friends shaken and Gu Yue thoughtful.

• After Na'er reaffirmed her promise, Su Qiu fell silent and finally said, "I'm sorry."

Su Qiu invited Na'er to visit Heaven Dou City, but she stayed behind with Gu Yue for an important matter. He accompanied Tang Wulin to Aalai City and left him a trace of Elemental Power, but Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King seal suddenly rioted when he returned to his old home.

• Zhen Hua learned Su Qiu was a level-four blacksmith aiming for Spirit Forging and reacted with disbelief when Mu Ye said the boy was nine years old.
