• Zhu Wu reassured Ning Rongrong that he liked her, then teased her with Long Ling'er in the living room.

Dugu Yan told Ye Lingling that Long Ying Tian might be able to address her martial soul’s flaw, but the costly terms required her family’s approval. The Ye Family Head chose to pursue cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and leave Ye Lingling’s marriage to her own feelings, while recognizing the proposal might test the family’s character.

• The Ye Family Head decided to speak with Sect Master Ning about cooperation and Ye Lingling joining the Second Team, leaving marriage conditional on her feelings for Long Ying Tian.

After learning Ye Lingling could not afford the treasure that might repair her Martial Soul defect, Tang San seethed with envy while Tang Hao considered how to obtain it. Tang Hao made a nighttime attempt to approach Zhu Wu’s villa, but Zhu Wu and Dugu Bo attacked him, forcing him to flee injured as the academy stirred.

• Qin Ming told Yu Xiaogang and the others that Ye Lingling could not decide whether to buy the treasure because its price exceeded what her family could afford.
• Tang San resented Long Ying Tian’s good fortune, while Tang Hao weighed his options and rejected abducting him because of the Illusory Beast Sect’s safeguard.

• Zhu Wu’s Mental Shock and Dugu Bo’s Medusa’s Gaze struck Tang Hao as he tried to escape, leaving him injured and temporarily petrified.
• Tang Hao landed in a crater, removed the petrification by detonating his first soul ring, and fled toward the academy’s outskirts while Dugu Bo pursued him.

After Tang Hao’s failed attempt to steal Long Ying Tian’s treasures, Zhu Wu and the academy’s leaders discussed the attacker’s identity and planned their next move. Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye prepared to support Long Ying Tian, while Ye Family Head agreed to move his clan to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Dugu Yan apologized to Zhu Wu for the attack, but he told her the intruder’s appearance was useful and unlikely to return soon.
• Dugu Bo reported that the masked intruder had escaped despite seeming to possess at least Rank 95 Soul Power, and Zhu Wu arranged for Meng Shenji to inform Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye.

Ye Lingling consumed Zhu Wu’s Primordial Immortal Herb, reached Rank 40, and then left the First Team to obtain a Soul Ring.

• Zhu Wu argued that Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect might be linked to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and asked Xue Qinghe to issue a wanted list for the Titled Douluo and provide a Slave Contract for Tang Yuehua.
