• Bibi Dong checked that Ye Lin was unharmed and, after hearing that he had kept them from being disturbed, resolved to give him a generous gift.

Bibi Dong heard how Ye Lin defeated Yan and learned that he had a ten-thousand-year Fourth Spirit Ring, then decided to choose a valuable gift for him. She selected an External Soul Bone suited to his Body Martial Soul and searched the treasury for high-quality whale rubber at Yu Xiaogang’s request.

• Hu Liena explained that Ye Lin had faced Yan alone, defeated him, and possessed a ten-thousand-year Fourth Spirit Ring.

• Bibi Dong searched for high-quality whale rubber for Yu Xiaogang and found a large piece in a chest.

Bibi Dong sought Golden Crocodile Douluo’s Golden Body-Tempering Secret Method to help Ye Lin strengthen his physique. When he refused, she confronted him in the Worship Hall and demanded that he contribute to Spirit Hall.

• Bibi Dong recalled that the whale rubber she had obtained from a fifty-thousand-year-old sea Soul Beast could help Ye Lin temper his body.
• Bibi Dong decided to seek Golden Crocodile Douluo’s secret method and went to the Worship Hall.

• Bibi Dong argued that the Worships still benefited from Spirit Hall’s resources and should contribute when needed.
• Bibi Dong released her pressure and told Golden Crocodile Douluo there would be no negotiation unless he proved her wrong through his actions.

• Qian Daoliu told Golden Crocodile Douluo to give Bibi Dong his body-tempering secret method, explaining that Spirit Hall’s younger generation needed support.

• Yu Xiaogang and Ye Lin were astonished by the value of Bibi Dong’s gifts.

Ye Lin absorbed Bibi Dong’s External Soul Bone, which mutated into a golden, dragon-scaled tail under the influence of his True Dragon Bloodline. After discovering his body had grown stronger, he swallowed a large piece of fifty-thousand-year Whale Rubber, and its effects surged through him.

• Bibi Dong gave Ye Lin an External Soul Bone, Whale Rubber, and body-refining techniques, and Yu Xiaogang encouraged him to accept them.
• Ye Lin absorbed the External Soul Bone while Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang stood guard.
• Ye Lin manifested a long golden, scaled tail, and Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang concluded that his True Dragon Bloodline had mutated the Spirit Bone.
• Ye Lin dismissed the tail and felt that his body had improved more than it had after absorbing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw.
• Ye Lin heated the Whale Rubber with Soul Power, swallowed it, and felt its effects surge through his body.

Ye Lin refined the fifty-thousand-year Whale Rubber while suppressing its aphrodisiac effects, and persuaded Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong to leave him alone. When Hu Liena came to visit, she grew suspicious of his strange behavior and tried to enter his locked room.

• Ye Lin felt the Whale Rubber's powerful energy strengthening his body and realized its aphrodisiac effects could become difficult to suppress.
• Ye Lin told Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong that refining the Whale Rubber would take a day or two and convinced them to leave.

• Hu Liena suspected something was wrong, returned to the door, and tried to enter, but found it locked from the inside.

• Hu Liena broke the lock and entered Ye Lin's room after he refused to open the door.
• Ye Lin explained that he was absorbing Five Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and that its aphrodisiac effects made it dangerous for her to stay.
• Hu Liena closed the door, confessed that she liked Ye Lin, and chose to help him.
• Ye Lin lost control and lunged at Hu Liena.
• Yu Xiaogang went to check on Ye Lin the next morning, heard Hu Liena praise him from inside, and silently left.

Yu Xiaogang told Bibi Dong that Hu Liena had shown more courage than her teacher, while Ye Lin finished absorbing the whale rubber and honestly told Hu Liena he might love others too. Hu Liena accepted his feelings, then returned to the academy limping, where Xie Yue guessed what had happened and Yan realized she had become close to Ye Lin.

• Yu Xiaogang told Bibi Dong what he had heard outside Ye Lin's room, and they reflected on the years they had spent apart.

• Hu Liena returned to the cultivation room limping and told Xie Yue she had taken a fall.
• Xie Yue guessed that Ye Lin was involved and accepted Hu Liena's decision, while Yan realized she had spent the night with Ye Lin and felt jealous.

Ye Lin’s body grew stronger after absorbing Five Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang took him, Hu Liena, and Yue Guan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find ingredients for a body-refining formula and Hu Liena’s Fifth Spirit Ring. There, Dugu Bo confronted Yue Guan and explained how their old feud began.

• Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong examined Ye Lin and confirmed that his physique had improved, though he still had not achieved his Body Martial Soul’s Second Awakening.
• Bibi Dong showed Yu Xiaogang Yue Guan’s body-refining formula, and Yu Xiaogang said he knew where to find its missing ingredients; the group set out with Hu Liena to find her Fifth Spirit Ring.
• Gui Mei reported Bibi Dong’s departure to Qian Daoliu, who told him he would be rewarded for pursuing power.
• Two days later, the group arrived above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Dugu Bo was eating Dragon Soul Grass.
• Dugu Bo and Yue Guan argued, and Dugu Bo told Yu Xiaogang that Yue Guan had once tried to recruit him into Spirit Hall, fought him after he refused, and lost only because Prince Xue Xing’s army intervened.

Yu Xiaogang introduced Bibi Dong as his lover to Dugu Bo, who quickly accepted her and warmed to the visitors. After Yu Xiaogang explained their search for rare herbs to support Ye Lin’s body-refinement treatment, Dugu Bo and Yue Guan revised Yue Guan’s medicinal formula together.

• Dugu Bo praised the formula, suggested changes, and worked with Yue Guan to revise it.

Ye Lin agreed to find Hu Liena a suitable ten-thousand-year soul beast for her fifth spirit ring and chose the rare Three-Eyed Demon Fox as their target. After a fruitless search and a night camping in Sunset Forest, the four resumed the hunt the next morning without discussing what had happened in their tents.

• Dugu Bo and Yue Guan refined a body-tempering prescription together while Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang prepared to take Hu Liena to find her fifth spirit ring.
• Bibi Dong left Ye Lin responsible for finding a suitable ten-thousand-year soul beast for Hu Liena and helping her hunt it.
• Ye Lin recommended a Three-Eyed Demon Fox for its powerful spiritual abilities, though he warned that the mutated soul beast was extremely rare.
• The group searched Sunset Forest for more than half a day and found only a five-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox, so they camped for the night.
• The next morning, Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong, Ye Lin, and Hu Liena resumed their search for the Three-Eyed Demon Fox without mentioning the night before.

Ye Lin and Hu Liena found a newly transformed, ten-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox, and Ye Lin helped Hu Liena kill it so she could absorb its Spirit Ring. While guarding her, he discovered a rare three-tailed External Soul Bone in the beast’s corpse.

• Ye Lin sensed a twice-mutated Three-Eyed Demon Fox that had just reached ten thousand years of cultivation and asked Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong to watch over the fight.
• The Three-Eyed Demon Fox saw through Ye Lin’s clones and struck him with a purple spiritual laser, but he emerged uninjured.
• Ye Lin’s eight Qi Soul Clones overwhelmed the fox, and Hu Liena killed it and began absorbing its Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Ye Lin sent his clones to patrol the area while he searched the corpse and found a bright yellow, three-branched tail-shaped External Soul Bone.

Ye Lin gave Hu Liena the Three-Eyed Demon Fox’s three-tailed External Soul Bone, and she absorbed it after reaching rank fifty-one. Back at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo and Yue Guan finished their herbal body-tempering method, and Bibi Dong revealed she had a top-tier secret body-tempering technique to pair with it.

• Hu Liena successfully absorbed the Three-Eyed Demon Fox’s Spirit Ring and reached rank fifty-one.

• Bibi Dong revealed that she had a top-tier secret body-tempering technique.

Ye Lin combined medicinal body tempering with Golden Crocodile Douluo’s secret method, enduring three days of intense pain as Dugu Bo and Yue Guan watched over him. He emerged with greatly enhanced strength and a second awakening of his Body Martial Soul.

• Yu Xiaogang showed Dugu Bo and Yue Guan Golden Crocodile Douluo’s Golden Body-Tempering Secret Method, and Dugu Bo explained how it could complement Ye Lin’s herbal body tempering.
• Dugu Bo and Yue Guan prepared a medicinal liquid, sealed Ye Lin inside an iron barrel, and heated it while he cultivated the secret method.
• Ye Lin endured repeated cycles of bodily damage and repair, while Hu Liena worried and Dugu Bo assured her that the process was working.
• After three days, the iron barrel’s top exploded and Ye Lin emerged glowing with golden light, with four Spirit Rings and three External Soul Bones appearing.
• Dugu Bo observed that Ye Lin’s strength and Soul Power circulation had improved and concluded that his Body Martial Soul had completed its second awakening.

After Ye Lin's body tempering, his Martial Soul underwent a second awakening, prompting Yu Xiaogang to theorize that Body Martial Souls could evolve through extreme physical and mental training. The group parted ways as Bibi Dong and Hu Liena returned to Spirit Hall, while Ye Lin and Yu Xiaogang flew back to Shrek Academy.
