Ning Fengzhi reflected on Spirit Hall’s growing influence and the benefits of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s alliance with it. Qian Renxue brought Su Yu to Spirit Hall Academy to challenge the Golden Generation, where Hu Liena recognized Qian Renxue and questioned Su Yu.

• Ning Fengzhi reviewed intelligence about Spirit Hall’s campaign against internal corruption and its rising reputation, while noting the alliance had eased his concerns about the sect’s future.
• Qian Renxue asked nine-and-a-half-year-old Su Yu to teach Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation a lesson, and he agreed to go with her.

• Hu Liena approached Qian Renxue and asked Su Yu why she had never seen him at the academy, and he explained that he had been away with Qian Renxue and had not joined the school.

Su Yu challenged Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan to a spar, shocking Hu Liena when he claimed to be level forty-six at nine and a half years old. He used his overwhelming spiritual power and illusions to turn the fight into chaos, leaving Hu Liena collapsed and the others confused.

Su Yu proposed balancing Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa corruption with another Divinity, but Bibi Dong rejected the dangerous idea and grew suspicious of his plans.

• Su Yu told Bibi Dong that every Martial Soul contained faint Divinity and that people without Soul Power might still have an undiscovered way to cultivate.
• Su Yu explained that the Brass Book's distinctive power was letting its Divinity contaminate others, an ability ordinary Soul Masters could not use.
• Su Yu said the Brass Book's Divinity would normally make Bibi Dong pursue strict, evolving laws and value symmetry, while a dominant Rakshasa influence could turn her into a tyrant.
• Bibi Dong pressed Su Yu about whether she was always normal, and he teased her that she should know the answer herself.

Su Yu left Bibi Dong’s bedroom after she declined his offer to help suppress the Rakshasa Evil Intent, while Hu Liena secretly witnessed his visit. In Suotuo City, Gui Ying gathered intelligence on Tang San and sent a report to Spirit Hall, as Qian Renxue considered going out to cause Su Yu trouble.

• Tang San asked Oscar about Ten Thousand Hand Tang Person, then accepted Oscar's Recovery Sausages and decided to focus on healing before seeking revenge.

• A Spirit Hall employee read Yu Xiaogang's alleged crimes to the crowd, and Yu Xiaogang passed out from the pain.

Tang San searched for Yu Xiaogang, then found him hanging outside Spirit Hall after being accused of forging a Pope Token. Yu Xiaogang insisted he was telling the truth, but his claim that Bibi Dong could verify it only drove the crowd away and prompted another punishment.

• Tang San discovered Yu Xiaogang was missing and learned from Flender that he had gone to Spirit Hall to collect his Soul Master subsidy.

• Su Yu offered Lou Gao a deal to forge intricate weapons and insisted that Spirit Hall’s designs remain absolutely confidential.

• Lou Gao examined Su Yu’s weapon blueprints and was astonished that they ranked below the Peacock Plume.

• Qian Renxue realized that someone other than Lou Gao might provide the blood and vitality needed to sharpen the Pear Blossom Needle in Rainstorm.
