• Yang Dong learned from Kaluo that the Wind Sword Sect's barrier had removed it from the Douluo Continent, shielding its occupants from the Plane Will.

• Yang Dong realized the Gate was his second Martial Soul, which could use Plane Shuttle, while Boluoxiu warned him not to reveal it to powerful beings.
