• Lu Yu stepped up to the Soul Tool, which recorded his age as twelve and his Soul Power as Level 44, leaving everyone present stunned.

After Zhu Zhuqing offered him an alliance through marriage, Lu Yu declined and left with the Heavenly Dou Empire group, while the Star Luo sisters’ strained family arrangement remained on his mind.

• Lu Yu told the disguised Bibi Dong that she was powerful but pitiful, and explained how heartbreak had driven her away from her original goal of uniting Soul Masters and abolishing the nobility.
• When Bibi Dong asked what she should do, Lu Yu suggested retiring, killing the heartless man and finding a worthy partner, or continuing her dangerous path.

• Bibi Dong ordered Moon Guan to represent Spirit Hall at the banquet and told him and Ghost Douluo to treat Lu Yu with extra respect.
