Yang Podi replaced two departing members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team and planned dangerous field training in Sunset Forest. After new recruits arrived and Dugu Bo was asked to protect the team, Yang Podi was summoned to a meeting where Xue Qinghe questioned whether the roster changes had weakened them.

• Ning Fengzhi planned to seek Ye Renxin's treatment and transfer Ning Rongrong to the second team, while explaining that political alliances required his continued support for Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang discovered that the first team's copied training had caused hidden injuries because it lacked Yang Podi's carefully prepared medicinal baths, while Yang Podi's team trained on plum blossom stakes after returning to the Breaking Clan. When Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang's group visited, Yang Podi refused Ning Rongrong a place on his full team and defended himself against Yu Xiaogang's demands for help.

• Bai Xiaofei warned Tang San and Yu Xiaogang that the first team's medicinal baths were ineffective, and Tang San found hidden injuries in himself and others.
