• While Qian Xunji negotiated a transaction with Yu Yuanzhen, Bibi Dong explored the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s grounds under Falling Devil Douluo’s protection.
• Bibi Dong surveyed the clan’s territory and asked whether its nearby forest might contain a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Falling Devil Douluo judged one possible but warned that hunting it would likely provoke the clan and require powerful Spirit Hall support.
• Bibi Dong privately considered an extreme solution: eliminating the clan rather than competing with it for such a beast.
• He witnessed Yu Xiaogang being mocked by fellow disciples for his weak martial soul and low innate soul power, despite receiving generous resources because of his father. Bibi Dong concluded that Yu Xiaogang’s privilege made the criticism understandable, and confirmed with relief that he was male.
• Afterward, Bibi Dong gathered information from clan members, learned more about the soul-master world from Falling Devil Douluo, and began forming a plan to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—even without Spirit Hall intervening directly.
• Bibi Dong rejected inheriting the Rakshasa God’s legacy, considered the Sea God a more appealing option, and remained wary of the Asura God and Slaughter City.
