On their way back to the hotel, Wang Yan, Tang Wulin, and Huo Yutong were approached by two members of the Body Sect, who revealed that they wanted to bring Huo Yutong back to their sect because her Martial Soul was her eyes. Huo Yutong and her companions were left facing the Body Sect’s claim that every Soul Master with a Body Martial Soul belonged to them.

• Xu Sanshi praised Huo Yutong's talent, but Beibei said the Body Sect had also acted because it did not respect Shrek Academy.
• Beibei explained that Sea God's Pavilion was established with the help of powerful experts summoned from across the continent to oppose the Body Sect.
