• Tang Hao said he was willing to oppose Spirit Hall but could not serve as a link to the secluded Clear Sky Sect because he was no longer a member and had no standing with them.

Ning Fengzhi learned from Tang Hao that Tang Yuehua could help him contact the Clear Sky Sect, while Tang Hao agreed to oppose Spirit Hall without accepting restrictions on his freedom. Tang Hao then set a demanding cultivation plan for Tang San and Xiao Wu, leaving Tang San to prepare for secluded training and Xiao Wu to remain at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

• Sword Douluo Chen Xin sensed that Dugu Bo had reached rank 96, alarming Ning Fengzhi.
• Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, planned to support Spirit Hall’s application because Ye Qifeng and Xiao Riven would be on the team.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, argued that the Heaven Dou Empire should approve Spirit Hall’s application to compete in the tournament, citing the chance to assess its young fighters and gain support against Star Luo. After the court’s factions clashed, Ning Fengzhi backed Xue Qinghe’s proposal, and Emperor Xue Ye was left to decide.

Emperor Xue Ye approved Spirit Hall’s tournament application, while Qian Renxue continued maneuvering for control of the Heaven Dou Empire as his health failed. Far away, Tang San continued his waterfall training with the Clear Sky Hammer, and Tang Hao stopped the practice for the day.

• Emperor Xue Ye followed Ning Fengzhi’s advice and approved Spirit Hall’s team to compete in the preliminary tournament, assigning Xue Qinghe to oversee the matter.
