• Tang San learned that Xue Xing, not Xue Qinghe, had captured him and demanded to see the Crown Prince, but Xue Xing kicked him and threatened him.
• Tang San endured the jailers' whips without confessing, so Xue Xing ordered them to use their most severe method, Stake Torture, also called Open Mouth Smile.

Tang San’s captors paused his torture after he revealed that his father was Tang Hao, while Xue Xing and Dugu Bo debated the political risks and learned that an accomplice had been surrounded. In Spirit City, Su Chen cured Ye Lingling’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent poisoning, and Dugu Yan apologized before the three teased one another.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong tested Xiao Wu’s flexibility by bending her into extreme poses, leaving them amazed by how far her body could twist.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong joked about their strengths, while the Tianshui Academy girls discussed pursuing Su Chen to gain power and secure their futures. At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong tried to arrange a way to learn how gunpowder was made, then discovered Bo Saixi had received a Diary Copy and worried about her potential influence.

• Hu Liena reassured Bibi Dong that Su Chen and their allies would help them face Bo Saixi, while Bibi Dong warned that Sea God Island and Tang San would become their enemies.
• Hu Liena suggested recalling Qian Renxue to inherit the Angel God’s legacy, but Bibi Dong fell silent because she did not know how to face her daughter.

• A guard identified Tang Hao as the thief’s companion, and Xue Xing ordered the guards to seize him despite Tang Hao’s intimidating bearing.
• Yu Xiaogang protested Tang Hao’s arrest and revealed that he was the Clear Sky Douluo.

Yu Xiaogang tried to stop Prince Xue Xing from taking Tang Hao and the palace prisoner, but Tang Hao’s injuries left him unable to prove his identity. After Li Mang repeatedly slapped Tang Hao and kicked Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang produced the Spirit Hall Pope Token to demand they release both men, leaving Xue Xing and Dugu Bo suspicious of his appeal.

• Xue Xing doubted that the powerless man was Clear Sky Douluo, and Tang Hao claimed his identity without being able to prove it.

• Dugu Bo questioned why Yu Xiaogang used Spirit Hall’s token to protect Tang Hao despite the feud between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, making Xue Xing suspicious.

Xue Xing and Dugu Bo arrested Tang Hao despite Yu Xiaogang’s appeal to the Pope Token, while Bo Saixi learned that the Sea God wanted her to rescue Tang San and deliver the Heart of the Sea God to him. Bo Saixi questioned the order because she distrusted Tang San, but the Sea God commanded her to obey.

• Xue Xing and Dugu Bo arrested Tang Hao after Li Mang’s slaps convinced them that his identity was suspicious, ignoring Yu Xiaogang’s protest and Pope Token.

• Bo Saixi questioned whether Tang San deserved the Sea God’s inheritance, but the Sea God told her to follow his orders without asking further questions.

Bo Saixi obeyed the Sea God’s order to travel to the Heaven Dou Empire while Tang Hao and Tang San were jailed and beaten by guards seeking revenge. The next morning, Su Chen began writing about Bo Saixi in his diary as he traveled with Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

• Bo Saixi and Sea Maiden Douluo prepared to leave Sea God Island for the Heaven Dou Empire, and Sea Maiden Douluo suggested luring Su Chen to the island.
• Tang San discovered that Tang Hao had also been imprisoned, and Tang Hao said Xue Xing had been led to him after someone saw them enter the Crown Prince Mansion.

• Sea Maiden Douluo asked Bo Saixi whether Su Chen could write about Tang San instead so they could learn more about the Sea God’s successor.

Bo Saixi refused to learn more about Tang San and tried to accept Su Chen’s insults with composure, while Qian Renxue used Tang Yuehua’s visit to distance herself from the arrests of Tang Hao and the others. The chapter ended with Bo Saixi reading Su Chen’s diary entry calling her an “old maiden” and questioning Sea Maiden about whether she had just called her old.

• Tang Yuehua said she would appeal to the emperor for leniency, while Qian Renxue pretended not to know Su Chen.
• Su Chen’s diary described Bo Saixi as an “old maiden,” leaving Bo Saixi upset as she traveled with Sea Maiden.
• Sea Maiden tried to reassure Bo Saixi by calling her mature, and Bo Saixi asked whether Sea Maiden meant that she was old.

Su Chen revealed Bo Saixi’s origins, overwhelming power, and the sacrifice required of Sea God Island’s High Priestess when Tang San became the Sea God. Bo Saixi accepted that duty, while Bibi Dong wondered whether her own Rakshasa God trial demanded a sacrifice.

• Su Chen described how Poseidon founded Sea God Island and how Bo Saixi passed the Top-Level Eight Trials to become its High Priestess.
• Su Chen explained that Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen could not become gods because their successors’ trials required them to sacrifice themselves, and he nicknamed them the Sea, Land, and Air Three Idiots.
• Sea Maiden Douluo asked Bo Saixi whether she would have to sacrifice herself if Tang San became the Sea God, and Bo Saixi confirmed it was her duty.
• Bibi Dong considered Bo Saixi’s strength and wondered whether her Rakshasa God trial required anyone to sacrifice themselves.
