Danheng researched Douluo Continent's powers and martial soul theories, finding that Yu Xiaogang's work resembled an older Spirit Hall text and wondering how he had accessed its library. Hu Liena introduced herself as Bibi Dong's disciple and, after hearing Danheng say he had lived for several hundred years, was left astonished.

• Danheng read about Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, and Bo Saixi, then wondered whether level ninety-nine Douluo could qualify for divine trials and suspected Bibi Dong was pursuing one.

• Bibi Dong asked Yue Guan whether Danheng's Herb Garden held alternatives to the Aromatic Silk Beauty and ordered him to negotiate with Qian Daoliu.

• Qian Daoliu told Golden Crocodile he wanted to help Qian Renxue most and considered the concession compensation for past wrongdoing.

Tang San felt frustrated that Zhu Zhuqing had advanced ahead of him, then sensed a possible treasure deep in the forest, prompting Flender to plan an expedition after Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Ring hunt.

• Tang San told the group he sensed a treasure deep in the forest, and Flender decided they would investigate after helping Zhu Zhuqing obtain her fourth Soul Ring.

The Shrek group entered Sunset Forest to find Zhu Zhuqing a fourth Soul Ring, while Tang San felt inexplicably drawn toward something in the forest. Flender found a suitable spirit beast near a mysterious golden-glowing tree, and Zhu Zhuqing began absorbing its Soul Ring as the group headed toward the apparent treasure.

• Zhu Zhuqing watched Dai Mubai and thought that she could reconsider their relationship if he abandoned his past behavior and focused on surviving their imperial family's deadly rule.

Zhu Zhuqing recognized her feelings for Danheng but accepted that they were not destined for the same path, while Tang San led the others toward a mysterious treasure ground. They became trapped in a bewildering array that suppressed their Martial Souls, and the array’s master let them leave; Tang San still resented him and thought his voice sounded familiar.
