Inside the Beast Hunting Forest, XiaoChenYu confronts XiaoWu and TangSan. Right as they are about to fight, A Datura Snake spirit beast appears and XiaoChenYu's guards face off against it. XiaoChenYu and his crew withdraw from the fight, which leaves XiaoWu, TangSan, and Grandmaster to fight the spirit beast. Using his hidden skills and daggers, TangSan defeats the Datura Snake and absorbs his first spirit ring (yellow). While absorbing the spirit ring, XiaoChenYu takes Grandmaster captive back to the academy and lays a trap for TangSan and XiaoWu. TangSan's new ability is a weak poison that inflicts anyone bound with his Blue Silver Grass spirit. Before leaving the forest, XiaoWu absorbs a spirit ring (yellow) from a small group of alive Ghost Wolves. The next day in Suo Ding academy, TangSan and XiaoWu try to release Grandmaster but fall into the trap set by XiaoChenYu, a cage that electrocutes anyone that touches it. XiaoChenYu aims to kill the three of them, so TangSan tries to force the cage bars open so they can escape, despite it electrocuting him.
