He returned to Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy with Yu Xiaogang, where seeing Su Mo and Xiao Wu together left him embarrassed and questioning his teacher.

• Tang San persuaded Yu Xiaogang to let him absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, arguing that it suited Blue Silver Grass and that they could not safely hunt the Mandala Snake.
