Liu Yuan prepared to obtain his first Soul Ring after reaching Rank 10, and Father Liu brought him a seven-hundred-year Golden-Crowned Poplar. As Liu Yuan began absorbing its Soul Ring, the Origin Willow secretly absorbed green light from the poplar and eased the process.

• Liu Yuan cultivated the Tang Sect secret arts and reviewed tasks on the Douluo Multiverse Order Platform, where he had acquired several pieces of Whale Rubber.
