He planned to acquire the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's Inner Core through Tang San, but first set out to obtain two hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• The Yin Yang Sea analyzed the Evil God Pearl, formed a third Soul Core, and gave Lu Duzhou Time Slowdown, Space Swap, and Dark Barrier.

He refused Xiao Wu’s offer to sacrifice herself, strengthened Tang San for his next soul ring, and then went to tell Dugu Bo a major secret.

• Lu Duzhou returned to Dugu Manor, confirmed that his trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had succeeded, and reminded Tang San that less than two months remained before the Three Year Agreement with Yu Xiaogang.

• Lu Duzhou became a Title Douluo at thirteen years old, though his apparent Soul Power Level was seventy.

Lu Duzhou gained powerful Soul Skills and Soul Bone abilities from the Sky Azure Bull Python, then searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable Fourth Soul Ring for Tang San. He found a twenty-five-thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine and challenged Tang San to absorb it.

• Lu Duzhou examined his new Azure Dragon and Dragon Might Soul Skills, along with the Sky Azure Bull Python's Slowdown Domain and Sky Azure Extinction God Thunder.

• Lu Duzhou and Dugu Bo warned Tang Hao that the City of Slaughter was dangerous, but Tang Hao insisted Tang San needed to face hardship to become strong.
• Tang San declared that he would enter the City of Slaughter to gain strength and protect Lu Duzhou and Xiao Wu, then accepted supplies from Lu Duzhou and left with Tang Hao.
