Luo Yu killed three Blazing Flowers and returned to camp, where Sun Hao revealed that the attackers were spawned by a powerful Sacred Flame Root. As the camp was overrun and the Chunin captain froze in terror, Luo Yu asked Tobi to locate the main body so he could fight back.

• Luo Yu used Wood Locking Wall and Chidori Sharp Spear to kill three Blazing Flowers, earning 23 attribute points while Sun Hao watched in shock.
• Luo Yu returned to camp and brought Sun Hao, who received treatment and told the survivors that the Teleportation Anchor had been deliberately destroyed.

Luo Yu recruited Sun Hao and the traumatized Chunin captain to attack the Sacred Fire Root, then used the Sharingan to calm the captain and learn the creature’s weakness. After discovering that his Intangibility could counter its ten-second rampage, Luo Yu asked his companions how powerfully they could use Water Release.

• Luo Yu stopped Sun Hao from fleeing and convinced him to join a strike against the Sacred Fire Root with the Chunin captain.
• Luo Yu and Sun Hao escaped the Blazing Flowers’ encirclement with the captain aboard Little Black, while Luo Yu promised loot and admiration to keep Sun Hao motivated.
• At the pit, Luo Yu used the Sharingan to calm the captain and restore his memories.
• The Chunin captain revealed that Water Release could expose the Molten Core, which would erupt in fire for ten seconds before leaving a five-second window to destroy it.
• Luo Yu realized his twenty-second Intangibility could counter the Molten Core’s rampage and asked Sun Hao and the captain how strong their Water Release was.

After Luo Yu defeated the Sacred Fire Root, his companions declined their shares of the loot, allowing him to use Yamato’s inheritance to upgrade his Hashirama Cells to level three.

Luo Yu feared Ning Fangtang might experiment on him as they headed to the mentor’s office.

• Kong overheard the special class’s plans to enter the Divine Beast Ruins and decided to report them to the higher-ups.
• Teacher Ning and the special class arrived at the Ruins, where Qin Yuan explained the ancient temple, its Giant-Toothed Demon guardian, and the Wraiths attached to bones.
