• Tian Benliu. Dong Hui entered a private room with Ning Fengzhi and introduced Jing Ziteng, Sosis, Dido, and Qin Ruiyu as powerful Title Douluo recruits.

Ning Fengzhi doubted that the newly recruited Title Douluo would risk their lives for the Body Sect as the auction began.

• The Body Sect bid a Dragon Abyss Boat and a Spirit Ring Storage Device, whose ability to preserve Spirit Rings impressed the audience.

• Ning Rongrong asked Ning Fengzhi whether Jains would come with Suiyue the next day, and Ning Fengzhi reassured her that Jains was unlikely to leave.

Dong Hui approved the Mysterious Heaven Skill for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and let Ning Fengzhi decide how to distribute the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. After copying the sect rules in the Punishment Hall, Tang San emerged on the day of the Body Sect’s founding ceremony and headed to the plaza, intending to ask Tian Benliu Dong Hui to take him as a disciple.

• Dong Hui judged the Mysterious Heaven Skill powerful and suitable for the sect’s disciples, though he preferred his own Taixu Sword Qi.

• Dong Hui claimed Tang San’s apparent Innate Full Soul Power was fake, saying Tang San had cultivated in advance and his true Innate Soul Power was no higher than level five.
• Tang San trembled as Dong Hui accused him of pretending for so long that he had deceived himself.

At the Sect Founding Ceremony, Dong Hui exposed that Tang San had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill before his Martial Soul awakening, making his apparent Innate Full Soul Power misleading. After Dong Hui warned that early cultivation was dangerous, the crowd turned from interest to contempt, and Tang San angrily challenged him to a bet.

• Tang San reflected on how his early Mysterious Heaven Skill cultivation had concealed his low Innate Soul Power and worried that Dong Hui had uncovered the truth.
