Tang San failed to absorb fourth Soul Rings of four thousand years and five thousand years, so Tang Hao found him a three-thousand-year Crimsonbeard Rock Vine instead.

• Si Yu blamed Si Cheng for spreading the rumors and stormed off to find him.
• Si Long and Danheng went to Lou Gao’s room, but Lou Gao did not answer, so Si Long pounded on the door and alarmed the blacksmiths nearby.

Danheng helped Lou Gao and Si Long uncover the truth about the ruined forging project and clear Si Cheng’s name. Before Danheng left for the next city, Lou Gao learned why Cloud Piercer was too heavy for him and offered Danheng a distinctive handmade object.

• Lou Gao filled his room with heavy training equipment and began working out to prove he could lift a weapon.
