Xiaofei brought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's wife and daughter to Skywater Academy, where they became Guardian Divine Beasts and protected the grounds from infiltrators. Meanwhile, the war at Jialing Pass resumed with the Heaven Dou Empire suffering defeats, and Dugu Bo obtained the Soul Bone he had long wanted from Xiaofei.

• Xiaofei flew to the Demon Whale Sea Territory, awakened the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and brought his wife and daughter back to Elemental Academy.

• Dugu Bo went alone to Elemental Academy and traded for the seventy-thousand-year Jade Scale Snake Emperor Torso Bone.

Xiaofei sensed the devastation of the war and Douluo Star through his connection to its Origin Power, then gathered the academy’s leaders to plan for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and a new Asura divine weapon. He offered Yang Wudi the chance to become the next King of Slaughter and potentially the Asura God, leaving Yang Wudi to weigh the opportunity.

• Xiaofei proposed that Yang Wudi take the spear to the City of Slaughter and nurture it into a replacement Asura divine weapon, potentially opening a path for him or the Breaking Clan to become gods.

Qian Renxue realized Xiaofei had been right about the lack of fairness in battle, while Xiaofei sensed his growing fortune and continued merging with Douluo Star.
