• As night fell, Lin You, Huo Yuhao, and the Snow Empress found a relatively safe place to spend the night.

Lin You and Huo Yuhao shared an intimate moment in their forest tent before a Chaos Spirit Spider attacked them. The spider’s corrosive, mind-affecting mist began destroying Lin You’s plant defenses, leaving the group facing a dangerous fight.

• Lin You used Wood Escape to build a tent and set up warning barriers, then Huo Yuhao cuddled close to him as they tried to sleep.

• The Chaos Spirit Spider released corrosive, mind-interfering mist, and Lin You’s elementalization failed to protect him, while his plant fortress began to wither under the mist.

He gained the Chaos Prison Soul Skill and revealed his newly awakened calcium power, leaving Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress amazed by his ability to raise rock from the ground.

• Lin You struggled to absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as its power ravaged his body and triggered a dangerous backlash.

• Lin You summoned his Martial Soul and announced that a new element, calcium, had awakened.
• Lin You raised a calcareous rock mound from the ground, astonishing Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress with his power to create rock.

Lin You demonstrated how his new Calcium Element power strengthened his body, shaped stone, harmed enemies, and healed wounds. After expanding his elemental domain to a hundred-meter radius, he planned to explore the Star Dou Great Forest with Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress while pursuing his dream of creating an immortal body.

• Huo Yuhao saw a hole in Lin You's chest repair itself, and Lin You stood up unharmed, formed a calcium shield, and charged the rhinoceros again.

• Huo Yuhao objected to the robbery, while Scarface's group threatened the three newcomers and ignored the captain's warnings about legal consequences.
• Lin You grew cold at the men's lewd remarks and wondered aloud whether he could disassemble and reassemble the Calcium Element in their bones.
