Zhu Zhuqing passed the Sixth Trial by persuading Bo Saixi to end their ten-minute challenge, and four examinees completed their trials and received permission to leave Sea God Island after their rewards. The group then discovered that Nami’s Seventh Trial involved pulling out the Sea God’s Trident, which Ning Rongrong suspected was a Divine Artifact.

• Ning Bei told Long Nianbing and Ye Yinzhu that reaching Titled Douluo before forty could attract the gods' attention, and said their talent matched A'Dai's.

• Zhu Zhushui attacked Ning Bei with Hell Stab, but his soul power barrier stopped her and restrained her in midair.
• Ning Bei introduced himself as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect master's brother and a Level 99 Titled Douluo, and Zhu Zhushui believed him after Zhu Zhuqing confirmed it.
