• Yu Yuanzhen heard that Huo Yuhao had made the Symbiosis Pavilion work, and an elder's complaints about losing access to Soul Bones made him warn the elder to take them to Spirit Hall if he dared.

• Yu Xiaogang accused Ding Gui of endangering the academy by abandoning its Soul Ring services, and Ding Gui explained that Yu Xiaogang had misunderstood the students’ rumors.
• Ding Gui told Yu Xiaogang that academies would have no choice but to change because Spirit Hall’s Holy Son had established the Symbiosis Pavilion.

• Yu Xiaogang concluded that the academy could not compete with the pavilion, dismissed its ambitions, and warned himself that large Soul Beast hunts could endanger children.

Yu Xiaogang warned Ding Gui that relying on the Symbiosis Pavilion for students’ Soul Rings would leave Nuoding Academy vulnerable to Spirit Hall, but Ding Gui dismissed his concerns. Yu Xiaogang returned to his quarters convinced Spirit Hall had hidden ambitions, while Ding Gui reassured the academy’s students that their first Soul Rings could be Hundred-Year rings.

• Yu Xiaogang warned Ding Gui that relying on the Symbiosis Pavilion would weaken the academy and give Spirit Hall leverage, then advised him to rally other academies against it.
• Ding Gui let Yu Xiaogang leave without correcting his misunderstandings and decided to move him to an honorary or welcoming role.

• Ding Gui gathered the teachers and students and explained that the Symbiosis Pavilion could provide Soul Rings suited to their Martial Souls, including Hundred-Year first rings.
• Ding Gui told the students the academy would cover the cost until they received their Spirit Master subsidies, and their worries turned to excitement.
