Three years later, Tang Wuyang, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie visited the Tang Sect branch in Eastsea City, where Tang Wulin exchanged Contribution Points for two rare Spirit Items to prepare to break through his Bloodline Seal. Wu Changkong decided Zero Class should go to Shrek, while Yu Zhen asked the students to return someday and teach at Eastsea Academy.

• Tang Wuyang ordered Gu Yue to keep scouting and led the team toward the lions, planning to attack after nightfall when their team would be stronger and the Flame Lions weaker.

• Gu Yue's Ice and Snow Storm engulfed the remaining Flame Demon Lions, and she launched an explosive spiked Ice Ball into their midst.

They continued deeper into the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Stage, fighting off Soul Beasts as they approached the Final Exam’s one-day requirement.

• Starlight caused the Flame Demon Lions to turn their attacks aside, and Tang Wuyang and the Strong Young Man killed the pack before Xie Xie secretly killed the Strong Young Man.

• Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan’s attacks failed to harm the Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear, so Gu Yue began preparing her elemental skills while Tang Wuyang drew the bear’s assault.
• Tang Wuyang used Tang Wulin’s restraint to throw the bear to the ground and wound its neck with his Golden Dragon Claw, but the bear blasted him away and pursued him.
• Xie Xie blocked the bear’s deadly attack on Tang Wuyang and was shattered, giving Tang Wuyang time to recover and evade the bear’s pursuit.

• The Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear died and dissolved into light, and Xu Xiaoyan spotted a flashing object at the place where it had fallen.

Tang Wuyang fused with the Dark Gold Fear Claw Right Palm Bone, an External Soul Bone taken from the Spirit Ascension Stage Guardian, but initially noticed little change.

• Tang Wuyang picked up the Dark Gold bone, and Gu Yue identified it as a Soul Bone from a Spirit Ascension Stage Guardian.
