• A Lan sacrificed herself to protect Tian Hao from the flames, and he prepared to shed the burning skin on his hands and feet to stay alive.

• Tian Hao used A Lan’s Blue Silver Domain to accelerate his healing and activated Devouring Golden Silk to replenish her strength from the beast.

Tian Hao recovered from his burns, returned to the battlefield, and found that Ah Yin had left a gravestone for him before heading deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. Still missing an arm and his belongings, he set his sights on training and eventually reaching the City of Slaughter, then accepted a ride with a merchant caravan bound for Heaven Dou City.

• Tian Hao finished regenerating his skin, fashioned crude coverings from the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast's hide, and followed the river back to the battlefield.
• Tian Hao found the battlefield abandoned and a gravestone inscribed “Grave of Little Haozi, erected by Ah Yin,” then discovered Ah Yin's footprints led toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tian Hao decided to seek a way to restore his arm and later train for the City of Slaughter, while giving up on recovering his Storage Soul Tool from the river.
• Tian Hao met a long-legged woman guarding a merchant caravan, accepted her offer of a ride to Heaven Dou City, and helped the caravan set up camp that night.

Tian Hao introduced himself to Meng Yuyan under the name Bu Jingyun and taught her how to control Soul Power as he considered using Exotic Beast Academy and the All-Continent Soul Master Competition to advance his plans. He asked whether she knew anyone well-informed in Heaven Dou City, where he planned to investigate the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Dugu Bo’s herb garden.

• Meng Yuyan told Tian Hao that she was Meng Shu’s illegitimate daughter and that she studied at Exotic Beast Academy.

After reassuring Meng Yuyan about her Soul Ring configuration, he examined her Firebird Spear and asked her to demonstrate her Soul Skills, leaving her stunned that he had handled her Martial Soul.

• Meng Yuyan offered to use Exotic Beast Academy's connections in Heaven Dou City to help Tian Hao find someone.

• Tian Hao took Meng Yuyan's Firebird Spear Martial Soul and examined its design before returning it and asking her to show her Soul Skills.
• Meng Yuyan stared at Tian Hao in disbelief after he handled her Martial Soul.

Meng Yuyan explained her weak speed-focused soul skills, and Tian Hao proposed combining her first three rings through Ring Fusion. While testing them, he stopped after the second skill made her body tremble, leaving Meng Yuyan confused about why he ended the demonstration.

• Meng Yuyan told Tian Hao that her first three soul skills boosted her legs’ explosive speed and her fourth launched an exploding Fire Phoenix Bird.
• Tian Hao asked about her speed skills and introduced Ring Fusion, explaining that fusing compatible rings could greatly increase their power.
• Tian Hao used a Soul Power Fusion Skill to take temporary control of Meng Yuyan’s Firebird Spear and activate its first soul skill.
• Tian Hao activated Meng Yuyan’s second soul skill, but stopped the test and ended their Martial Soul Fusion Skill when her body began trembling.
• Meng Yuyan asked Tian Hao why he had stopped.

Tian Hao discovered that Meng Yuyan’s years of strenuous training and lightning-based soul skills had badly injured her legs, then treated her and asked to study her martial soul. Meng Yuyan began recuperating while Tian Hao prepared to imitate her speed-enhancing skills for a lightness technique.

• Tian Hao warned Meng Yuyan that her accumulated leg injuries could leave her paralyzed or require amputation if she continued using her stacked soul skills.

• After several hours, Tian Hao told Meng Yuyan to rest for two days without circulating Soul Power into her legs or activating her soul skills.
• Tian Hao asked Meng Yuyan to manifest her martial soul and soul rings so he could study her first three speed-enhancing skills and develop a lightness technique.

• Tian Hao used the Firebird Spear’s lightning-based soul skill to understand its circulation and pierced through a thick tree with a fast, precise thrust.

Tian Hao developed a plan for combat movement techniques inspired by Shénxíng Bǎi Biàn and asked Meng Yuyan to help him join the Exotic Beast Team for the Soul Master Competition. Meng Yuyan agreed to introduce him to the team leader, leaving Tian Hao confident that he could prove his strength.

• Tian Hao decided that his sprinting Lightness Skill was insufficient for close combat and began devising evasive movement techniques and footwork based on Shénxíng Bǎi Biàn.
• Tian Hao returned to camp before dawn with worn-through shoes, and Meng Yuyan questioned how far and fast he had run.
