• Yu Chen reached the waterfall and asked Xiao Bai to investigate what lay behind it.

• Yu Chen revealed that he had absorbed a Soul Bone and gained a healing skill, claiming it was at least a thousand years old and came from a cave in Holy Soul Village.
• Ming Dashan warned Yu Chen never to reveal the Soul Bone unless his life depended on it.
• Ming Dashan decided to change Yu Chen’s age in his records from nine to twelve to conceal his extraordinary soul power growth.

• Ming Dashan told Yu Chen they would leave in a couple of days to find his second soul ring in the Border Forest, then travel to Heaven Dou City.

Yu Chen left Nuoding Academy with Ming Dashan and traveled on foot toward Heaven Dou City, training with a heavy iron pot. After reaching Soul Hunting Town near the Border Forest, Yu Chen planned to hunt an earth-type Soul Beast for his second soul ring, while wondering about Xiao Bai’s unusual elemental requirements.

• Yu Chen said goodbye to the academy and left with Ming Dashan, carrying the heavy iron pot Tang San had forged.
• Tang San watched Yu Chen depart and reflected on their sparring, then judged Yu Chen cold-hearted for not becoming his teacher’s disciple.
• After two hours of running, Yu Chen struggled under the load, so Ming Dashan split the pot and carried its heavier steel ring himself.
• Seven days later, Yu Chen and Ming Dashan reached Soul Hunting Town, where Ming Dashan warned him about trusting strangers in the wilderness.
• At the inn, Yu Chen told Ming Dashan he wanted an earth-type Soul Beast for his second soul ring and wondered whether Xiao Bai came from the Douluo Continent.

Yu Chen and Ming Dashan searched the volcanic wasteland for a second soul ring, and Yu Chen found a wounded Rock-Earth Dragon Turtle fighting a pack of Lava Lizards. Yu Chen unleashed Xiao Bai Dragon’s combined wind-and-fire attacks to destroy the battlefield, leaving several soul rings in a crater.

• Xiao Bai Dragon’s second [Flame Attack] caused a massive explosion that left a crater and several floating soul rings, while Ming Dashan shielded himself with [Wind Wall].

Ming Dashan worried that the upgrade would make Yu Chen too conspicuous as they considered whether to continue to Heaven Dou City.

• Ming Dashan admired Yu Chen’s combined fire-and-wind attack, then urged him to absorb the Rock-Earth Dragon Turtle’s soul ring quickly.

• Xiao Bai found ashen mushroom spores, and Yu Chen concluded that the Rock-Earth Dragon Turtle’s uneaten treasure had upgraded the soul ring.
• Ming Dashan warned Yu Chen that his thousand-year second soul ring would draw attention and questioned whether they should still go to Heaven Dou City.

Yu Chen hid the true strength of his second Soul Ring by separating the ashen mushroom energy and transferring it to Xiao Bai. He and Ming Dashan returned to the forest after Yu Chen explained his new Earth Element abilities.

• Ming Dashan advised Yu Chen to seek a major power’s protection, but Yu Chen refused to join one and said he could hide his strength another way.
• Yu Chen sensed the two energies in his second Soul Ring and moved the ashen mushroom energy into Xiao Bai, making the ring appear yellow again.
• Yu Chen explained that the ring’s power could be restored because the energy was stored rather than lost, and Ming Dashan praised him.
• Yu Chen and Ming Dashan headed back into the forest as the frightened Soul Beasts began returning.
• Yu Chen told Ming Dashan that Earth Element gave him Defense, which strengthened his and Xiao Bai’s defense, and Stone Edge, which sent sharp stones bursting from the ground.
