After the Tenfold Great Supplement Pill raised Shi Quan to level 30 and evolved his Martial Soul into the Blue Silver King, Dugu Bo took him to seek a Third Spirit Ring. They reached a dangerous, miasma-filled valley that might hold the parasitic plant-type Spirit Beast Shi Quan wanted.

• Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and Ning Rongrong waited for Dugu Yan and were surprised when Shi Quan returned with her, initially failing to recognize his changed appearance.

• At the training ground, Shi Quan noticed Ning Rongrong looked exhausted, then Ye Lingling asked him for guidance with a cultivation problem.

Shi Quan discovered that his cultivation let his Blue Silver King resonate with Ye Lingling’s Nine Hearted Begonia and trigger a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The skill left a wide area lifeless, and Shi Quan carried the exhausted, unconscious Ye Lingling back to rest while the others kept clear of the lingering halos.

• Shi Quan examined Ye Lingling after she reported making no progress with Heart Separation Control and sensed an unusually strong life aura in her body.

After their teammates teased them about growing closer, Shi Quan told Ye Lingling he had figured out the problem with her cultivation, but that she might have to solve it herself.

• Dugu Yan teased Shi Quan about forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ye Lingling, and Shi Quan asked what the group knew about Ye Lingling's family.
• After waking late that night, Shi Quan learned from Yu Feng and Qin Ming that the fusion skill had lasted over two hours and could absorb life force and Soul Power from everything within thirty meters.
• Qin Ming warned Shi Quan and Ye Lingling to practice the skill carefully and keep it secret, since its draining effect could be dangerous and it might help the team win the tournament.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo identified the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo as a rare Immortal Herb and said its effects on Shi Quan were plausible because his Spirit Soul was mutated and unstable.

Chrysanthemum Douluo learned that Shi Quan had consumed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, prompting Dugu Bo to warn Shi Quan to keep his Herb Garden secret. During the academy break, Shi Quan set out for home with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, and they abandoned their carriage to travel on foot and enjoy the scenery.
