• Long Aoyu received the First Trial rewards, including increased Soul Ring ages and spiritual power, and tested his newly unlocked time and space abilities.

• Long Aoyu suggested bringing Gui Mei close to death again to trigger an awakening, and Du Busi agreed to take him along to the forest.

Du Busi brought Long Aoyu, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan to the Lake of Life so Long Aoyu could hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Gui Mei fought the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, gaining an insight that brought him close to a Martial Soul Second Awakening before Du Busi rescued him. Du Busi then offered Long Aoyu a choice between the two wounded beasts, and Long Aoyu chose the Titan Giant Ape for his sixth soul ring.

• The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python used their domains to slow Gui Mei and attacked him together, leaving him gravely wounded.
