The lesson ended with Yu Hengqing preparing to practice Mimicry and remembering how convincingly Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had imitated Di Tian.

Yu Hengqing learned Mimicry and received the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Silkworm Slough before Di Tian sent him with Bi Ji to Thunder Valley. On the way, Yu Hengqing questioned the origin of Soul Rings and the conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, then arrived at the valley to begin the Thunder God Trial.

Yu Hengqing reunited with Yu Hezai, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan in Thunder Valley and proposed using a Soul Core to treat the poison in Dugu Bo’s body. Dugu Bo agreed to try the method in exchange for allowing Yu Hengqing to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan arrived at Yu Hezai’s camp, and the three put up a tent as a storm approached.
• Yu Hengqing reached the camp, reassured Yu Hezai that he was unharmed, and greeted Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

• Yu Hengqing explained that a Soul Core could condense the poison in Dugu Bo’s body, and Dugu Bo agreed to try it in exchange for taking Yu Hengqing to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Yu Hengqing sparred with Dugu Yan, accepted Dugu Bo’s poisons and Ruyi Treasure Bag, and prepared to draw lightning for his God Trial. After enduring two increasingly powerful strikes with Leiyi’s help, Yu Hengqing decided he could risk taking more.

• Yu Hengqing and Dugu Yan sparred until Dugu Yan ran out of stamina, then rested and discussed his plans for Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Dugu Bo gave Yu Hengqing his Ruyi Treasure Bag, filled with sealed poisons and medicinal herbs, as a sign of trust.

• As a thunderstorm gathered in Thunder Valley, Yu Hengqing reassured Yu Hezai and prepared with Leiyi to draw three lightning strikes for his God Trial.
• Yu Hengqing drew two lightning bolts, while his Cangming Lightning armor and Leiyi’s support helped him withstand the increasingly strong strikes.
• Yu Hengqing decided his supply of medicinal herbs might let him endure more strikes, and Leiyi offered to disperse the lightning if he could not hold on.

Yu Hengqing stopped tempering his body when the thunderclouds grew inexplicably stronger, then met Bi Ji, who offered him a Purple Lightning Marrow Crystal and declared she would guard him. Bi Ji joined him at the tent, where Dugu Bo learned she was a Level 98 healing-type Titled Douluo.

• Yu Hengqing noticed each lightning bolt growing stronger, and Leiyi concluded that something was strengthening the thunderclouds rather than his Lightning Attraction Technique.
• Yu Hengqing decided to stop Thunder Body Tempering, but Leiyi sensed Bi Ji approaching, so Yu Hengqing readied his emergency Soul Tool and watched her.

• Yu Hengqing accepted the crystal and invited Bi Ji to tea, while Dugu Bo and Yu Hezai returned to the tent.
• Yu Hezai introduced Dugu Bo to Bi Ji, who identified herself as a Level 98 healing-type Titled Douluo, startling Dugu Bo.

• Yu Hengqing told Bi Ji he planned to endure seven lightning bolts because the storm clouds had been appearing less often.
• Bi Ji warned Yu Hengqing that he risked serious injury but agreed to stand by and treat him.

After completing his God Trial, Yu Hengqing set out for Sunset Forest with Bi Ji, who summoned Yu Zhantian, an ancestor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Hengqing then traveled with Dugu Bo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Yu Zhantian sensed the faint auras of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

• Yu Hezai praised the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Yu Zhantian scolded him for boasting while the clan had declined.

• Dugu Bo showed Yu Hengqing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its rare medicinal herbs, including the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

• The Ice Dragon King uprooted the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and gave Yu Hengqing its essence to raise his spiritual power toward the Titled Douluo level.

After Dugu Bo brought him home, Yu Zhantian offered to help Yu Yuanzhen grow stronger and led father and son toward the sect’s back mountain, where Yu Hengqing realized his father might be steering him toward a trial tied to the ancestor’s unfulfilled wish.

• Yu Hengqing absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, extending his aura detection range and bringing his Sea of Consciousness closer to the standard for condensing a Soul Core.

• Yu Zhantian explained that a human genius had created the First-Level Thunder God Godhood before him and had dared to seek the Dragon God’s power.
• Yu Yuanzhen opened the sect leaders’ trial chamber with the Sect Master’s Token, revealing a cracked scale that Yu Zhantian recognized as a mark left by his third brother, Yu Jin.
