Zhu Wu learned that the Breaking Clan and other clans were leaving the Clear Sky Sect, then intervened when Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members tried to poison Bai Jin'er and her newborn son. He took Bai Jin'er away and arranged to test whether Yu Renkui would come to their supposed funeral.

Tang San awakened a chrysanthemum Martial Soul and a concealed Clear Sky Hammer, then enrolled at Notting Academy and became Yu Xiaogang’s disciple. Yu Xiaogang advised him to develop the chrysanthemum along the assault-system path and began explaining how to choose soul rings.

• Yu Xiaogang explained the chrysanthemum Martial Soul’s low soul-power consumption and flexibility, and Tang San asked how to choose its soul rings.

Yu Xiaogang guided Tang San to absorb a Mandala Snake soul ring, believing its poison and tough scales suited Tang San’s chrysanthemum martial soul. Tang San gained a volley of paralyzing venomous fangs, while Zhu Wu judged that the mutation had erased the martial soul’s Light Attribute and left Tang San poorly equipped against powerful opponents.

• Yu Xiaogang advised Tang San to develop sharp, poisonous chrysanthemum petals, and Tang San eagerly agreed.

• Zhu Wu and Ning Rongrong arrived at Shrek Academy and joined the crowded admissions line behind Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong impressed Shrek Academy’s examiners with her talent, then questioned the academy’s resources and record. She was left stunned by Dai Mubai’s claim that a former student had become Spirit Hall’s youngest elder.

• Ning Rongrong demonstrated her flexibility and summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, revealing her Soul Elder cultivation and thousand-year second soul ring.
• Tang San and Xiao Wu doubted Ning Rongrong’s achievements, while she explained that years of intensive training had prepared her to absorb powerful soul rings.
