Ch. 201A Desperate Tang San, Diving into the Deep Sea
Tang San left Sea God Island after Bo Saixi allowed him to attempt the Seventh Trial again, while Tang Chen believed the decision meant Tang San had found good fortune. In the deep sea, Lin Chen attacked the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King but failed to land a fatal blow, and the whale retaliated with Deep Sea Raging Waves.
- Tang San pleaded with Bo Saixi to let him continue the Sea God trials, but she warned that he could not complete the Eighth Trial by killing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
- Tang San rejected the prospect of returning to live in Lin Chen's shadow and left the Sea God Hall, then told Tang Chen that he intended to hunt the whale.
- Tang Chen celebrated that Bo Saixi had agreed to let Tang San attempt the Seventh Trial again, and the four members of the Clear Sky Sect left Sea God Island to resume the trials later.
- Lin Chen waited in the deep sea until the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began clearing the lingering power in his wounds, then struck with his Eighth Soul Skill, Sword Slashes the Galaxy.
- The whale dodged Lin Chen's attempt to hit an existing wound, suffered a new long gash across his back, and launched Deep Sea Raging Waves at Lin Chen.
