After the Sea God Pavilion’s attempt to replace the reinstated reserve-team members through a supplementary challenge tournament, Xie Huanyue, Cao Jinxuan, and the others rejected the process and turned away from Shrek Academy.

Jiang Yu scouted the Hand of Death Bandit Gang’s base alone and sent the team to attack it. The sight of the gang’s atrocities united the others against them, but the Death Messenger’s power turned the battlefield dangerous.

• Wu Feng doubted that Huo Yuhao was Dai Hao’s son, while Ning Tian asked Jiang Yu for his opinion and the group rested before continuing into the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

After Xuan Zi rushed the injured team toward Star Luo City, news of the disaster reached the Sea God Pavilion and left its elders alarmed by Mu En's growing anger.

• Jiang Yu told Ling Luochеn she could repay her life debt by working for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and she agreed to join it.

• Jiang Yu found blue-purple Thunderclap Hellvine vines growing in his Sea of Consciousness and touched them.
• A lightning bolt struck Jiang Yu, and he absorbed its power before the Thunderclap Hellvine emerged from his palm and devoured a second bolt.
