Shui Wuyue brought Investigator Handsome back to Mirror Moon Island so he could testify about the Wailing Pirate Crew, then resumed teaching Luo Yu to pilot a ghost ship. Luo Yu unexpectedly made the raft fly, leaving Shui Wuyue stunned by his beginner’s breakthrough.

• Shui Wuyue and Luo Yu took Investigator Handsome to Mirror Moon Island, where he was hospitalized, before setting out again with Chen Bo aboard.
• Shui Wuyue taught Luo Yu that a soul could possess a ship and propel it by swimming, then demonstrated how Soul Mimicry let a soul take the shape of a sea beast.
• Luo Yu possessed the ghost raft in human form and tried to move it through the water.
• Luo Yu thought about controlling the raft with a thought, and it rose into the air before falling back into the sea.
• Shui Wuyue was astonished when Luo Yu asked what had happened, realizing the beginner had performed a sky ghost ship technique.

Luo Yu amazed Shui Wuyue by making a ghost raft fly with his soul power, then traveled with the Mirror Moon Island delegation to Thousand Rock Island to help assess Rock Goats for trade. He and Chen Bo went to find a Rock Goat to study through battle, and a girl with pigtails agreed to spar after inspecting their pet beasts.

• Luo Yu briefly made the ghost raft fly, leaving Shui Wuyue stunned by his extraordinary control over soul power.
• Shui Wuyue gave Luo Yu his cultivation notes, and Luo Yu decided to practice useful ghost-ship techniques rather than keep piloting himself.
• Shui Wuyue and Yu Wan planned to select healthy Rock Goats by observing their mental states because Mirror Moon Island lacked experts on the species.
• The Raging Blue reached Thousand Rock Island, where Shi Ning of the Glazed Glass Chamber of Commerce arranged the delegation’s lodging and trading itinerary.
• Luo Yu and Chen Bo went to the beast arena to find a Rock Goat for a spar, and a girl with pigtails demanded a fee before agreeing to fight.
• The girl with pigtails inspected Great General and July, saw their life levels were 8 and 7, and assumed the outsiders would be easy money.

Luo Yu and Chen Bo challenged a wealthy girl’s Rock Goat to a wagered fight, but Chen Bo’s Thunderbolt Shrimp was quickly defeated by the goat’s speed and defenses. Luo Yu and July then trapped the Rock Goat in a pit and blasted it with their combination attack, Barbecue Grill, leaving the girl alarmed as the goat began to roast.

• Luo Yu recognized the girl’s Rock Goat as a formidable beast with Senior Level Divine Speed and Indomitable Heart, and noticed the Heart of Rock pendant it wore.
• The girl agreed to fight both Chen Bo and Luo Yu for 5,000 Alliance Coins, and Chen Bo bet Luo Yu 500 Alliance Coins that he could win.
• Chen Bo’s Thunderbolt Shrimp used Flash to escape into the pool, but the Rock Goat pursued it through the water and knocked it out with a headbutt.
• Luo Yu entered the arena with July and asked the girl if she needed a break before the fight began.
• July shattered the ground with Dig, causing the charging Rock Goat to fall into a pit, then used Heat Breath to unleash the Barbecue Grill combination attack.
• The trapped Rock Goat began to wail from the heat, and the girl realized Luo Yu and his Earth Penguin were far more dangerous than Chen Bo.

Luo Yu tested July’s abilities and investigated Rock Goat milk on Thousand Rock Island, then helped the group begin choosing goats for Mirror Moon Island. July first conjured magma with the Heart of Rock, while Luo Yu ended the chapter discovering an unusual talent in one of the female Rock Goats.

• July endured the Rock Goat’s attacks, then defeated it by dropping it into pits and roasting it with Heat Breath until its Beast Tamer conceded.
• Luo Yu and Chen Bo bought Rock Goat milk tea and discussed gathering information about Rock Goats, including how well they produced milk.
• Luo Yu gave July a Heart of Rock, and July combined heat with rock power to conjure magma for the first time.
• The next morning, Shi Ning led Luo Yu, Chen Bo, Shui Wuyue, and Yu Wan to the Red Stone Breeding Farm to choose Rock Goats.
• Luo Yu used his see-through cheat to identify a female Rock Goat with the ordinary talent Masochist, which improved its milk yield and quality after abuse.

Luo Yu selected fifteen Rock Goats with hidden talents for breeding on Mirror Moon Island, while Shi Ning began investigating him after learning of his surprising battle record. On the voyage home aboard the Raging Blue, Luo Yu planned to establish QQ Ranch, but the ship suddenly entered black fog.

• Luo Yu chose ten ewes, including Rock Goats with unusual talents, and the group selected fifteen goats to transport to Mirror Moon Island.
• After the group left, Shi Ning questioned the keeper about Luo Yu’s choices and ordered an investigation into what Luo Yu and Chen Bo had done on Thousand Rock Island.
• Shi Ning interviewed Yang Qian, who said Luo Yu’s Earth Penguin had defeated her Rock Goat almost instantly.
• Aboard the Raging Blue, Luo Yu admired the goats’ talents, especially Fermentation Master and Crossbreeding Model, and planned to apply to raise them at QQ Ranch.
• July fished and practiced condensing magma as the Raging Blue carried the goats home, then the sky darkened and the sea turned black when the ship entered black fog.

The Sea of Ghosts appeared around the ship, and Shui Wuyue explained that only Luo Yu had entered its true dimension. Inside, Luo Yu searched for a ghost pet beast, but the candidates he examined had unsuitable Obsessions.

• Shui Wuyue told Yu Wan that the ship was still in the living world and that Luo Yu alone had entered the Sea of Ghosts.
• Shui Wuyue said Luo Yu had one day to choose a ghost and warned that an extreme Obsession could hinder his cultivation.
• Chen Bo woke to find the black sea outside, then felt better after Shui Wuyue joked that his looks made him likely to encounter the Sea of Merfolk.
• Luo Yu entered the Sea of Ghosts and began inspecting ghost sea beasts with his Eye of Data.
• Luo Yu rejected a fighting-obsessed Thousand-Year Turtle and a White-Cut Duck bent on eliminating Azure-Scaled Snakes.
• Luo Yu found a Monarch-level Moon-Crowned Shrimp whose Obsession was to visit the moon, and doubted he could find a suitable beast.

Luo Yu searched the Sea of Ghosts for a ghost pet beast worth contracting, rejecting several promising Monarch Species because their Obsessions, drawbacks, or potential did not suit him. Just as he considered settling for a spatial sponge, he discovered a Honey Water Bee ghost with the extraordinary Insect Empress talent.

• Luo Yu found an Annihilation Star Spirit whose Obsession was to kill an Abyss Species, but he passed on it because it lacked enough potential and would be costly to raise.
• Luo Yu encountered a beautiful male mermaid whose Obsession was to regain his human body and reunite with his wife and child, and he rejected it.
• Luo Yu continued searching, comparing candidates with the Water Devil Beast and deciding not to contract a ghost merely for its species rank.
• As time ran short, Luo Yu considered returning for a spatial sponge, but a Honey Water Bee ghost caught his attention.
• Luo Yu examined the Honey Water Bee and discovered its top-tier Insect Empress talent, which empowered insect subordinates and kept their souls undying while its own soul survived.

Luo Yu chose to form a Soul Contract with a Ghost Honey Water Bee Empress whose top-tier Insect Empress talent could command insects and whose Obsession was to lead Honey Water Bees to supremacy in the sky. The contract was completed, with the Bee Empress settling in Luo Yu’s right eye.

• Luo Yu examined the Bee Empress’s Insect Empress talent and considered how its command could strengthen insect abilities and let it recruit Honey Water Bee dependents.
• Luo Yu saw that the Bee Empress had died protecting its colony and regretted failing to become king of the sky and lead its species to supremacy.
• Luo Yu decided the Bee Empress’s ambition and talent suited his plans to breed powerful Honey Water Bees, and resolved to help it fulfill its Obsession.
• Luo Yu warned himself of the bodily and soul backlashes possible if a Soul Contract’s Obsession went unfulfilled, but accepted the risk and promised to help the Bee Empress become king of the sky.
• The Bee Empress’s soul entered Luo Yu’s right eye as the Soul Contract formed, and Luo Yu joked about finding a fish that wanted to rule the ocean.

Luo Yu returned from the Sea of Ghosts with a ghost Honey Water Bee, whose extraordinary power to command insects made it far more significant than its ordinary appearance suggested. He planned to help it fulfill its Obsession by expanding a Honey Water Bee colony to ten million, a goal that could require buying land on the Azure Billows Continent.

• Yu Wan, Shui Wuyue, and Chen Bo wagered on what kind of ghost pet beast Luo Yu would contract, with Yu Wan predicting an Everchanging Jellyfish.
• Luo Yu returned alone from the Sea of Ghosts and revealed that he had contracted a ghost Honey Water Bee empress.
• Luo Yu explained that the bee could command insects beyond its own species, including powerful and rare kinds, though the others underestimated the extent of its talent.
• Luo Yu said the bee's Obsession was to lead a colony of ten million Honey Water Bees and planned to expand the research institute's breeding efforts.
• Shui Wuyue realized Mirror Moon Island might not have enough space or food for such a huge colony, so Luo Yu might need to buy land on the Azure Billows Continent.

Luo Yu learned how to help Bee Empress grow by feeding her emotional energy and advancing her Obsession to become King of the Sky. After returning to Mirror Moon Island, he proposed raising more Honey Water Bees and building an artificial island and training school.

• Luo Yu introduced July to Bee Empress, but July and the bee paid little attention to each other.
• Shui Wuyue explained that ghost creatures grew through soul resources, emotional energy, and progress toward their Obsessions, and warned Luo Yu not to rely too much on fear.
• Luo Yu set Bee Empress the goal of defeating the director’s Storm Eagle as a step toward becoming King of the Sky.
• Luo Yu reported his new ghost contract to Yu Lei, who was relieved it was only a Honey Water Bee ghost but questioned why Luo Yu had chosen it.
• The Raging Blue returned safely to Mirror Moon Island, though one Rock Goat fell ill during the voyage.
• Yu Lei questioned how Mirror Moon Island could support Bee Empress’s ten-million-bee Obsession, and Luo Yu proposed creating Beehive Island and a Blue Soaring Beast-Taming School.

Luo Yu told Director Yu Lei that he expected to discover how to evolve Ink Fish into Water Devil Beasts before the Tidal Corpse Transformation, and secured a promise of funding if he succeeded. Back at his institute, he discovered the Bee Empress could awaken a Honey Water Bee’s spatial talent and realized he could use major public reactions to rapidly strengthen her.

• Luo Yu asked Director Yu Lei about the Alliance inspector and learned the guardian god was an Abyss Species that would be informed at the Mirror Moon Celebration.
• Luo Yu revealed that he expected to develop a method for evolving Ink Fish into Water Devil Beasts before the Tidal Corpse Transformation, and Yu Lei agreed to set aside some military funding.
• After returning from Thousand Rock Island, Luo Yu found that most of his Honey Water Bee pairings had failed, but Intelligence and Diligence had produced a bee with the Senior Level talent Heaven Rewards Diligence.
• Luo Yu realized the Bee Empress might enhance innate talents, and she awakened Intangibility, a spatial ability, in a Honey Water Bee.
• Luo Yu decided that developing Water Devil Beasts and having July suppress powerful zombies at the Mirror Moon Celebration could generate emotional energy to strengthen the Bee Empress.

Luo Yu recruited Lin Li to help fund research into Honey Water Bee evolution and tested how the Bee Empress’s Command enhanced the bees’ abilities. After deciding to test Earth Penguin evolution in the Ancient Grotto, he left with fermented goat’s milk to collect emotional energy from wild beasts.

• Lin Li visited Luo Yu to see the Bee Empress, and he proposed that the Moon-Facing Pavilion support research using its Honey Water Bee farm.
• Luo Yu had the Bee Empress boost Honey Water Bees’ Spirit Enhancement and Strength Enhancement stings, which dramatically affected his mind and body.
• Luo Yu watched the Bee Empress accelerate Honey Water Bee mating and egg-laying, producing an egg with talents inherited from both parents.
• The Bee Empress weakened after repeatedly using her Command, so Luo Yu planned to feed her before continuing his experiments.
• Luo Yu set out for the Ancient Grotto to test Earth Penguin evolution and collect emotional energy from wild beasts with fermented Rock Goat milk.
• Yu Wan opened the rancid milk, recoiled from its stench, and rushed to the bathroom.

Luo Yu brought the foul-smelling Rock Goat milk to the Ancient Grotto and asked to test a Heart of Rock with an Earth Penguin. The test succeeded when the penguin evolved through contact with the Ancient Evolution Stone, confirming that the Heart of Rock worked.

• Luo Yu walked toward the Ancient Grotto with Fermentation Master goat milk, and the Bee Empress fed on the intense emotions of nearby wild beasts.
• Luo Yu encountered a Dripping Rain Butterfly with the Growth Fluid ability and decided that the species could serve as gardeners for his future farm.
• Luo Yu returned to the Ancient Grotto, where Bai Dong and the researchers agreed to let him keep the Rock Goats and confirmed that the Hearts of Rock had arrived.
• Luo Yu examined the nine captured Earth Penguins and selected one with the Thick Skin and Tough Flesh talent for an evolution test.
• Luo Yu placed a Heart of Rock around the Earth Penguin's neck and brought it into contact with the Ancient Evolution Stone, triggering its evolution.

Luo Yu confirmed that Earth Penguins could evolve into Blade Rock Penguins with the Heart of Rock and Ancient Evolution Stone, while researchers tested other birds and he helped the newly arrived Rock Goats adapt. Days later, a young-looking swimmer named An Yao reached Mirror Moon Island and introduced herself as an archaeologist invited by Director Yu Lei, explaining that a time-element beast’s curse made her look like a child.

• Luo Yu evolved an Earth Penguin into a Blade Rock Penguin, which awakened Sword of the Earth, and confirmed the same evolution worked on a chick with Dragon Blood.
• Luo Yu concluded that Earth Penguins were especially compatible with the Heart of Rock and Ancient Evolution Stone, but delayed evolving his pet July until he could prepare more resources.
• The researchers tested Hearts of Rock on several bird species and found that Earth Penguins gained a new attribute, while other birds mainly grew stronger physically.
• Luo Yu treated the Rock Goats with enhancement needles to help them adjust to their new home and assigned Chen Bo to milk them.
• Over the next two days, July drank a blend of Rock Goat milk and Rock Turtle honey while training, and research at the Ancient Grotto continued without producing a superior species.
• A patrol fleet found An Yao swimming toward Mirror Moon Island; she said Director Yu Lei had invited her and explained that a time-element beast’s curse made her look like a child.

Scholar An Yao examined Mirror Moon Island’s Ancient Grotto and concluded that it held the remains of a powerful ancient earth- or fire-aligned creature. She warned Director Yu Lei and Luo Yu that the grotto could draw increasingly dangerous Zombie Tides, leaving the island to choose between relocating and rapidly building its defenses.

• Director Yu Lei confirmed An Yao’s identity and brought her to meet Luo Yu at the Ancient Grotto.
• An Yao identified the grotto’s Ancient Evolution Stone as a means for avian mutant beasts to undergo atavistic evolution.
• An Yao explained her theory that an ancient meteorite had caused an extraordinary age of land, and that its surviving power opposed the present age of ocean mutations.
• An Yao connected the grotto’s ancient power to the unusual zombie movements near Mirror Moon Island and predicted stronger Zombie Tides.
• An Yao advised Mirror Moon Island to relocate to the Azure Billows Continent or rapidly strengthen its defenses before future tides brought Abyss Level Aberrant Corpse Beasts.

An Yao joined Mirror Moon Island’s Ancient Grotto research after Director Yu Lei granted her broader access, while Luo Yu discovered a highly successful batch of Ink Fish offspring. He continued preparing for July’s evolution and learned that Lin Li had chosen sweet sheep offal soup for the Mirror Moon Celebration.

• An Yao explained that the Abyss Trial could let an elite human youngster contract a killer whale calf and win the Abyss-Eroding Killer Whale clan’s protection, then negotiated permission to explore the Ancient Grotto.
• Director Yu Lei showed An Yao the atavistically evolved birds, and she chose to stay in the underground grotto and join the researchers.
• Luo Yu and Director Yu Lei discussed whether An Yao’s warning about possible damage to the grotto was concerning before Director Yu Lei left to report to the island master.
• Yu Wan told Luo Yu that the Ink Fish had laid eggs, and he found twelve Senior Level talents among the thirteen Breeding Paragon X Dominion eggs, along with many useful talents in the other groups.
• Luo Yu checked his resources for July’s perfect evolution and asked Lin Li about the Mirror Moon Celebration menu; she said she had settled on sweet sheep offal soup.

As the Mirror Moon Celebration approached, Luo Yu prepared for the return of the Mirror Moon Armed Fleet and learned that Wang Defa’s grandson would compete against him for the guardian deity’s blessing. Wang Defa planned to use his grandson’s performance to raise the Wang Lineage’s standing, while Luo Yu headed to arrange a purchase from Wang Defa’s farm.

• July reached level 9 after days of enhancement jabs, while the Bee Empress expanded and strengthened the Honey Water Bee swarm.
• Chen Bo told Luo Yu that the Mirror Moon Armed Fleet would return soon and that Wang Defa’s rookie grandson would compete in the Mirror Moon Celebration with a top-grade Superior Species.
• Chen Bo proposed betting on who would receive the guardian deity’s blessing, and Luo Yu refused before sending Honey Water Bees to sting him.
• Luo Yu went to find Lin Li and arrange a purchase from Wang Defa’s breeding farm, where the Dominion Ink Fish’s fry were still too weak for evolution experiments.
• Wang Defa said he hoped his grandson’s blessing would help make the Wang Lineage the island’s fourth great Lineage, and he offered the Moon-Facing Pavilion Fat Water Sheep for free.

Luo Yu prepared for the Mirror Moon Celebration by selecting unusually flavorful Fat Water Sheep and training his Dominion Ink Fish, while island guests and officials received invitations. At the celebration, he joined the student challengers and spotted the guardian deity, a powerful Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile with six advanced talents, including a mysterious Eye of the Moon.

• Luo Yu visited Wang Defa’s farm, selected Fat Water Sheep with Kindred Stenches and Aroma Condensation, and planned to raise them before giving some to Lin Li.
• Luo Yu completed July’s final special training and raised his Dominion Ink Fish to level 2, meeting the conditions for the offspring Water Devil Beast’s evolution.
• Handsome, An Yao, and Zhang Lei received invitations to the Mirror Moon Celebration, and Zhang Lei discussed the possible threat of the Wailing Pirate Crew with a crew member.
• At Moon Reflection Lake, Luo Yu joined the freshman challengers, met Bing Liang, Mi Xiaoyu, and Zhuang Feng, and learned that participants could choose their zombie challenge tier.
• While heading toward the buffet, Luo Yu spotted the level 63 Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile and discovered its six advanced talents, including Eye of the Moon.

At the Mirror Moon Celebration, Wang Heng narrowly defeated a Superior Species zombie sea beast, while the other newcomers struggled against weaker opponents. Luo Yu then challenged a Superior Species and stunned the crowd by summoning July, whose power raised a platform of rock from the lake for him to stand on.

• Yu Wan reunited with her parents and joked that Luo Yu might develop a Water Devil Beast, while explaining that she wanted to keep working at his institute.
• Wang Heng challenged a Superior Species zombie Crawler with his Crocodile Devil Turtle and won narrowly after the fight left his pet badly injured.
• The other newcomers challenged weaker zombie sea beasts, and Luo Yu’s three students chose low-rank opponents.
• Luo Yu appeared as the final challenger, introduced as a fifteen-year-old breeder and researcher, and announced that he would challenge a Superior Species.
• Luo Yu summoned July over the lake, and July raised a heated rocky platform from the lakebed, leaving the spectators stunned.

July used his newly mastered earth and magma abilities to defeat a Superior Species Crawler in one attack, leaving the Mirror Moon Celebration audience stunned. Luo Yu then learned that he and Lin Li would receive the guardian deity’s blessing, though the deity planned to leave the island’s other problems to its people.

• July raised a rock platform from the lakebed and stood on it as the Crawler charged across the water.
• July struck the Crawler with a magma attack that blew off its head and boiled the water around its body, killing it instantly.
• Luo Yu recalled July and left the venue, while the spectators reacted with disbelief and Scholar An Yao speculated that the penguin’s potential came from the Ancient Grotto master’s influence.
• Luo Yu sensed that the Bee Empress had gained power from the battle and expected her to reach level 10 before July reached level 11.
• Director Yu Lei told Luo Yu that Lin Li’s sheep offal soup had pleased the guardian deity, who wanted to bless them both.
• Luo Yu learned that the guardian deity knew about the Tidal Corpse Transformation, the pirate crew, and the grotto, but intended to let the island handle them unless a major crisis arose.

Luo Yu asked the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile to support his experiments, claiming he had nearly perfected a way to evolve Ink Fish into Monarch Species Water Devil Beasts. The guardian deity promised to protect his future work if the method proved real, but warned him of the consequences if he had lied.

• Bai Ya brought Luo Yu, Lin Li, and Yu Lei to the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile’s cave beneath Moon Reflection Lake.
• The guardian deity offered Lin Li and Luo Yu one wish each, and Lin Li wished for an Ice Spirit Pot before Luo Yu declined her offer to give him her wish.
• Luo Yu asked the guardian deity to help with an evolution experiment that he said could strengthen Mirror Moon Island and protect it from future threats.
• Luo Yu revealed that he had developed a method to evolve Ink Fish into Water Devil Beasts, prompting Bai Ya, Yu Lei, Lin Li, and the guardian deity to react with shock.
• Luo Yu offered to demonstrate the method at his research institute, and the guardian deity said it would safeguard his experiments if his claim was true.

At the Luo Yu Research Institute, Luo Yu demonstrated his Ink Fish evolution method before Yu Lei, Bai Ya, Yu Wan, Lin Li, and the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile. The experiment succeeded, producing a level 6 lower monarch species Water Devil Beast and leaving Mirror Moon Island’s leaders stunned by Luo Yu’s achievement.

• Yu Wan was surprised when Luo Yu arrived at the institute with Lin Li, Yu Lei, Bai Ya, and the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile.
• Luo Yu led the group to the Ink Fish breeding farm, where he prepared a school containing one Ink Fish with Dominion and one hundred ordinary Ink Fish.
• July repeatedly hurled magma into the pond, creating danger that triggered the school’s evolution.
• The Ink Fish converged into a massive Water Devil Beast, which Yu Wan restrained with her psychic power.
• Luo Yu examined the evolved beast and confirmed it had become a level 6 lower monarch species with Poison King and Piercing a Willow Leaf at a Hundred Paces talents.
• Yu Lei, Bai Ya, Yu Wan, and Lin Li realized Luo Yu had successfully developed the Water Devil Beast’s evolution method.

After revealing a possible method to evolve Ink Fish into Water Devil Beasts, Luo Yu proposed a riskier Dependent Evolution Method and persuaded Mirror Moon Island’s leaders and guardian deity to support a limited trial. The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile ordered supplies to be bought, leaving Luo Yu ready to use the island’s resources for his experiments and prepare for the Abyss Trial.

• Luo Yu confirmed that Ink Fish could be bred into Water Devil Beasts in a steady supply, prompting Yu Lei, Bai Ya, and the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile to praise the potential benefits for Mirror Moon Island.
• Luo Yu explained his Dependent Evolution Method, which would evolve an Ink Fish contracted as a dependent and might also transform its Bloodline Master, while warning that the process was dangerous and untested.
• Bai Ya and the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile questioned the method’s cost and low success rate, but Luo Yu suggested trying it on a few individuals to prepare for the Abyss Trial and win an alliance with the Orca Clan.
• Luo Yu outlined how strengthening himself and July could protect Mirror Moon Island, and the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile decided to gamble on the plan and support the experiment.
• Yu Lei said Blood Coagulation Algae could be bought from the Azure Billows Continent or Future Town, and the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile ordered Shui Wuyue to fetch it as soon as possible.

Director Yu Lei arranged for Luo Yu to travel with Shui Wuyue to Future Town for the Alliance strength assessment and to buy Blood Coagulation Algae, while the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile appointed Luo Yu honorary vice island lord. The group then prepared to test the newly evolved Water Devil Beast, and Chen Bo found himself chosen to fight it.

• Director Yu Lei explained that Luo Yu needed to pass the strength assessment in Future Town before entering the Abyss Trial, and the group planned for Shui Wuyue to escort him there in a week.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile appointed Luo Yu honorary vice island lord and agreed to prepare the Blood of the Abyss while Director Yu Lei arranged to buy Blood Coagulation Algae.
• Yu Wan asked to contract with the Water Devil Beast, but Luo Yu refused because it was a test subject and better-aptitude specimens might be evolved later.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile took the Water Devil Beast for training and research, then offered to demonstrate its strength; when July was too exhausted to fight, it asked for another opponent.
• Chen Bo arrived and asked whether the guardian deity had been stingy, then panicked when he realized the crocodile had heard him.
• Yu Wan persuaded the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile to have Chen Bo's level 9 Thunderbolt Shrimp fight the Water Devil Beast.

Chen Bo tested his Thunderbolt Shrimp against Luo Yu’s newly evolved Water Devil Beast, which defeated it and revealed a mind-confusing attack and the ability to reshape itself. The group realized the Water Devil Beast could become equipment and serve as a powerful bloodline dependent, while July tried to recruit it as an enormous fishing rod.

• Chen Bo ordered Great General to attack the Water Devil Beast, but its Ink Sea Raging Tide overwhelmed the Thunderbolt Shrimp and left it confused and attacking Chen Bo.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile restrained the Water Devil Beast, and Yu Wan realized it still recognized her as its caretaker from when it was an Ink Fish.
• Yu Wan asked the Water Devil Beast to calm Great General, and it knocked the Thunderbolt Shrimp unconscious; Luo Yu identified Ink Sea Raging Tide as a group confusion ability.
• The Water Devil Beast demonstrated Shapeshifting at Will by turning into a Thunderbolt Shrimp-shaped creature and then a giant broom.
• Yu Lei and Luo Yu recognized that the Water Devil Beast could transform into equipment and become a powerful dependent, while July fetched his fishing rod and asked it to transform into one.
