• Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Tang Wutong’s fractured relationships prevented their team from coordinating, while they struggled through battles using their trump cards.

• Su Qingfeng told Wu Feng to use Dragon Fire on the frozen opponents, and she began by targeting Huo Yuhao.

Su Qingfeng used Ultimate Ice and Wu Feng’s Dragon Fire to create a devastating ice-fire evaporation reaction that defeated Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong, and Xiao Xiao. The match ended with the injured students needing urgent treatment as spectators realized how Su Qingfeng had engineered the damage.

• Wu Feng found that her Dragon Fire could barely melt Su Qingfeng’s lingering Ultimate Ice until she activated Dragon’s Wrath, which greatly increased its heat.
• Su Qingfeng weakened the Ultimate Ice around Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong, and Xiao Xiao, allowing Wu Feng’s Dragon Fire to melt it and produce scorching water vapor.

Su Qingfeng, Ma Xiaotao, and Mu En entered the Star Dou Great Forest’s lava region to search for a powerful fire-attribute Soul Beast for Su Qingfeng’s second Soul Ring. As fire-element Soul Beasts gathered around Su Qingfeng without hostility, Mu En suspected his unusual affinity was causing their behavior, leaving Ma Xiaotao asking what he meant by “again.”

• Ma Xiaotao explained the dangers of the Black Lava Zone, Red Flame River Zone, and active volcanoes as the group entered the lava region.
• Mu En said Su Qingfeng could consider a three-to-five-thousand-year Soul Beast, prioritizing a powerful bloodline and fire-element potential over age.

• The group entered the Red Flame River Zone, where more fire-element Soul Beasts approached Su Qingfeng and appeared to express goodwill.
• Ma Xiaotao asked Mu En why he had said the strange behavior had happened “again.”

Su Qingfeng’s Polar Star drew a vast gathering of fire-element Soul Beasts as he and Mu En entered the Scorching Zone to seek a Second Soul Ring. Deep in the zone, Scarlet King sensed the same mysterious power and set off toward Su Qingfeng with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

• Mu En identified Su Qingfeng’s Polar Star as the likely reason fire-element Soul Beasts were drawn to him and urged him to restrain his Ice Extreme Star.
• Su Qingfeng released his martial soul, causing more than a hundred fire-element Soul Beasts, including powerful Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, to gather around the group.

• Scarlet King sensed a powerful, mysterious presence in the Scorching Zone and hesitated to leave the Three-Eyed Golden Lion behind.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion insisted on accompanying Scarlet King, and the pair raced toward Su Qingfeng’s location.
