As Yang Podi focused on cultivation, Ning Rongrong stayed at Heavenly Pursuit Academy, leaving him and Yang Wudi to debate whether the academy should keep her there.

Three academies chose to pursue membership and Thunder Academy headed for Heaven Dou City, before Yang Podi sensed a powerful sacred presence arriving with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
