Huo Yuhao reflected on the Sun Moon Empire princes competing for the throne and dismissed their schemes as irrelevant to his plans. At the Body Sect, Du Busi praised Huo Yuhao’s rapid growth but worried about letting him return to Shrek Academy, while Huo Yuhao considered the timing right for his next move.

• Huo Yuhao identified three Body Sect disciples with Phenomenon Martial Souls, including Long Aotian, whose unusual skin could absorb Heaven and Earth Essence.
