• On a nameless hilltop a hundred li from Thunder Academy, Tang San asked Tang Hao what they would do next, and Tang Hao fell silent.

Tang Chen returned to the Clear Sky Sect gravely injured and unable to inherit the Asura divine seat, so he chose Tang San as his successor and took him toward Slaughter City. Back at Blue Tyrant Academy, Qin Xiao learned that Liu Erlong and the others had joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in a plan against the Star Luo Imperial Family and suspected the clan was seeking his forgiveness.

Two days later, Qin Xiao and Liu Erlong arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for her next soul ring.

• Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to Liu Erlong, who gained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, a soul bone, four skills, and reached level 93.
• Qin Xiao refused to leave Xiao Wu behind and persuaded the Sky Azure Bull Python to stay alive and assist him in exchange for visiting her once a year.

Two days later, Qin Xiao found Tang Hao hiding at the Clear Sky Sect ruins and defeated him, leaving Tang Hao to accept his fate.
