• Yue Yin prepared to return to the army while Tie Li stayed in Hundred Flowers City, and Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi worried that Spirit Hall had turned its attention toward the Star Luo Imperial Family.

• Tie Wu slipped away from Little Purple and White Moon to meet Tie Li, who gave him a cultivation pill and asked about their family in Manno City.
• Tie Li warned Tie Wu that their distant relatives might be using his Spirit Hall status to gain protection and gave him a Waterforce Pill to raise his Soul Power by one level.

• Tie Wu found a right-arm soul bone in the Blazing Tiger’s corpse, and Tie Li told him absorbing it would greatly improve him.

Tie Li returned to the Wind Thunder Sect ruins and cultivated near the Lightning Pool, stopping just short of entering it. Tie Wu’s new soul bone strengthened his fire attribute, but his Soul Power remained unchanged, and Luer warned him to stay alert for the upcoming assessment.

• Luer told Tie Wu that Ruls had left on a mission and reminded him not to lower his guard during the assessment.

Tie Wu entered the Great Soul Arena to test the strength he gained from absorbing a soul bone and fought the level-forty-eight Shi Zhong. He defeated Shi Zhong with his fourth soul skill, Heavy Blaze Shattering Strike.

• Yan Yu boasted about his strength before his match with Tie Wu, while Yan in the VIP seats noticed Tie Wu's familiar face and remembered unpleasant memories.
• Tie Wu used his Flame Clone to evade Yan Yu's attack and won their match by stopping his flaming claw just short of Yan Yu's neck.

• Spirit Hall prepared the sixty-four advancing Soul Masters for an island assessment, while Yan told Mo Yu he had come to observe because the assessment differed from his own.

• Tie Li reached the Lightning Pool but recoiled when its powerful lightning struck his left foot.
• Tie Li found that Lightning Pool lightning was improving his leg soul bones and began refining it at the pool’s edge.
