After the girls chose Bones, Gu Yuan advised Xiao Xiao against absorbing a low-age Bone and explained how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls safely, leaving Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong wondering about his own abilities.

• Yu Gang urged Huo Yuhao to cooperate and use the opportunity to find Gu Yuan.

Tang San and Huo Yuhao tested whether their Martial Souls could fuse, and their near-perfect compatibility caused them to share a dream and nearly kiss. Yu Gang urged Huo Yuhao to pursue Tang Ya and gain control of their future fusion, while Tang San planned to use it to accelerate his cultivation.
