• The thundercloud gathered over Hu Tutu but hesitated to strike as Ouyang, Chen Changsheng, and Bai Feiyu watched.
• Dongxu Zi, Su Xiaoqi, and Mu Yunge played mahjong while Hu Tutu grew impatient and challenged the thundercloud to strike.

• Hu Tutu sneezed, revealing a Spirit Fox form, while a fox phantom formed above the Demon Core in her Dantian.
• Heaven and Earth acknowledged Hu Tutu, the thundercloud vanished, and she successfully entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
