After Tang Wulin’s victory in the Class Promotion Tournament, Wang Chuan chose to pursue All-Element Heavenly Forging and declined a place in Eastsea Academy’s new Zero Class.

• Gu Yue decided to continue her plan for six years while allowing herself more time near Wang Chuan before leaving for good.

Wang Chuan reflected on the Spirit Pagoda’s investment in its talents before agreeing to face Wu Sidu, an ambitious young genius who had challenged him to test the ranking’s top spot. Their match was arranged at the Heaven Dou City Blacksmith Association, with Mu Ye volunteering to referee.

• Wang Chuan contrasted the Spirit Pagoda’s generous support with Shrek Academy’s work-study system and Tang Sect’s missions, concluding that tangible early investment built greater loyalty.
• Wang Chuan turned his attention back to improving his own strength after the ranking’s attention faded.

Later, Zhen Hua told Wang Chuan that an old friend had asked him to forge Four-Character Battle Armor, leaving him conflicted over the strain Heavenly Forging would place on his weakened body.

• Wang Chuan asked Wu Sidu to fetch Sinking Silver, and she brought it to him and tried to coax him into thanking her.
