• Oscar told Yang Xiong that Tang San had invited him and the others to train on Sea God Island, and Yang Xiong warned him that the island’s trials were deadly.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing visited Yang Xiong to invite him to Sea God Island, but he declined because he was busy relocating the Body Sect and gave them advice instead.

• Yang Xiong and his group arrived at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s ruined base and surveyed its river defenses and the dangerous Thunder Valley beyond.

Yang Xiong established the Body Sect in Thunder Valley, organized its defenses, and brought the Four Element Academy into its plans.

• Yang Xiong led Tang Xiao, Yu Xiaogang, and the others to pay respects to Yu Yuanzhen, deflecting further discussion of the alliance’s details.

• Yang Xiong and the others left the ship by flying, with Yang Xiong carrying Ning Rongrong on his Crimson Blood Thunder Sword, and landed on Sea God Island’s beach.

Yang Xiong and his companions insisted on taking Sea God Island’s assessment despite warnings that it could be fatal, and they were brought to the Seahorse Holy Pillar to cross the Sea in the Sea. Feng Xiaotian, Yang Wei, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu each crossed successfully, while the rest of the group still awaited their turns.

• Yang Wei crossed by cutting through the waves with his Mystic Iron Sword, and Seahorse Douluo praised his swordsmanship.
• Shui Bing'er froze the water and waves to walk across, then Huo Wu evaporated the waves with her flames and crossed, though Seahorse Douluo warned that her fire attribute could make her trial harder.

Feng Xiaotian and the others crossed the Sea in the Sea and insisted on taking Sea God Island’s trials despite Seahorse Douluo’s warnings. Feng Xiaotian received the Black Level Six Trials, the hardest Black Level trial, and vowed to complete them.

• Oscar copied Feng Xiaotian’s martial soul and soul skills with his Mirror Image Sausage, then crossed the Sea in the Sea and qualified for the trial.

• Feng Xiaotian said he was confident he would pass all six trials and would not fear their difficulty.

The Sea God Island assessments gave Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er Red Level Seven Trials, while Yang Xiong received the unprecedented Red Level Eight Trials before his inheritance was interrupted by Asura God’s power.

Tang San’s party remained far below the required Sea God’s Light steps, leaving them desperate and hoping Yang Xiong and the support-type soul masters might arrive in time.

• Seahorse Douluo welcomed Yang Xiong’s group, and they learned that Tang San and his companions had arrived on Sea God Island months earlier in poor condition.

• Tang San received the Red Level Seven Trials, Xiao Wu received the Black Level Six Trials, four companions received Black Level Four Trials, and Ma Hongjun received the Purple Level Three Trials.
• The group struggled under the Sea God’s Light: Xiao Wu reached about the sixtieth step, Tang San reached the fifty-eighth, and the others fell far short of their assessment targets.
• Tang San encouraged everyone to cultivate under the Sea God’s Light, but after a month their progress remained inadequate and they grew increasingly despairing.
• Dai Mubai reminded the group that Yang Xiong might arrive with Ning Rongrong and Oscar, while Tang San felt troubled that his companions might depend on them for salvation.

He encouraged Huo Wu by explaining the potential of her Body Martial Soul and urging her to become a peerless expert capable of leading the Body Sect.

• The group began improving rapidly under the Seagod's Light, while Yang Xiong closely monitored Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
• Huo Wu told Yang Xiong she felt inadequate because her Soul Power Level and climbing progress were the lowest among them.
• Yang Xiong explained that Huo Wu's Body Martial Soul could undergo a Second Awakening through perseverance and hardship, and urged her to aim for Level 98 or even Level 99 so she could lead the Body Sect.
