Episode 2 recap: Xiao Yan broke through the Dou Spirit and defeated Bai Shan. Bai Shan took banned drugs and lost all his Dou Qi.
The training ground of the Canaan Academy was bustling with activity. Eventually, all the other students were defeated, and Bai Shan and Xiao Yan stood facing each other. Bai Shan became increasingly courageous and even broke through to the Dou Spirit level. Xiao Yan was surprised by this, but Yao Chen noticed that Bai Shan was too eager for quick success and had probably used drugs. Yao Chen used his internal force to investigate and discovered that Bai Shan had used the forbidden drug of a Great Dou Master. If Bai Shan were to lose, he could potentially lose all his Dou Qi.
Under Yao Chen's guidance, Xiao Yan fought against Bai Shan. Xiao Yan didn't want to use the Green Lotus Core Flame to avoid harming innocent people, but Bai Shan was relentless. Xiao Yan exposed Bai Shan's secret of taking banned drugs, which made Bai Shan furious and attacked Xiao Yan with lethal intent. However, Xiao Yan suddenly broke through the Dou Spirit barrier.
The elders saw that Xiao Yan was making a breakthrough, but Bai Shan was preparing to ambush him. Xun Er quickly protected Xiao Yan, but Bai Shan was determined to kill Xiao Yan, even if it meant harming Xun Er. At that moment, Xiao Yan had completed the breakthrough to the Dou Spirit level. He replaced Xun Er and severely injured Bai Shan with the Heavy Xuan Ruler. After Bai Shan fell, Xiao Yan also fainted in Xun Er's arms.
When Xiao Yan regained consciousness and asked Yao Chen why he fainted, Yao Chen thought he had also taken a pill and warned him about the dangers of being too greedy. Xiao Yan took out the pill, and only then did Yao Chen realize that he had misunderstood him. Xiao Yan had broken through to the Dou Spirit level, and Yao Chen gave him a fifth-grade Revitalizing Pill to stabilize his unstable Dou Qi.
Yao Chen was curious about the familiar scent of Bai Shan's Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill. Where did it come from? Xun Er stayed by Xiao Yan's side, and when Xiao Yan woke up, he saw Xun Er sitting beside him, guarding him. Xun Er opened her eyes and was delighted to see Xiao Yan finally awake. He had been asleep for a whole day and night.
Xiao Yan asked about Bai Shan and learned that he was depressed after being thrown out of the trial ground and couldn't continue his cultivation in the Flame Tower. Hu Jia came to call Xiao Yan to receive a reward, and the dean took him to the Battle Skill Repository, where he had to prove himself and obtain his desired battle skill before the sunset. Whether he succeeded or not, he had to leave this place.
Yao Chen advised him to obtain the Purple Lightning Seal, which would complement the deficiencies of his Heavy Xuan Ruler and Level Eight Demolition.
Xiao Yan ended up obtaining the Sonic Dou Technique. Suddenly, Hu Jia came in and informed Xiao Yan that the Lion-Tiger Battle Golden Chant battle skill had already found its master. Xiao Yan lifted its seal and was told that it would be very useful once he mastered it.
Feeling somewhat disappointed, Xiao Yan was reassured by Xun Er, who told him that once he became proficient in it, he would be able to shine in competitions. Xiao Yan began practicing the Sonic Dou Technique loudly, which attracted the attention of Queen Yu Cailin from the Snake-People Nation. She asked Xiao Yan about the Soul Blending Pill he had promised her earlier. However, Xiao Yan had been too busy during this period and hadn't had the time to help her refine the pill. Xiao Yan requested some more time from her, but Yu Cailin felt that he wasn't taking her seriously and seized him, intending to kill him.
Yao Chen arrived in time to rescue Xiao Yan and rebuked Yu Cailin, reminding her that his people were not to be harmed as she pleased. Yu Cailin accompanied Yao Chen to the Netherworld, mocking its barrenness without water and flowers. Yao Chen didn't appreciate her belittling his realm and proposed a deal: within a year, he would provide her with the Soul Blending Pill, and in return, she would cease harboring ill intentions and ensure Xiao Yan's safety. Yu Cailin agreed but added a condition that she would receive half of any elixirs Xiao Yan obtained. Yao Chen accepted the condition on behalf of Xiao Yan.
After tirelessly practicing the Sonic Dou Technique, Xiao Yan's throat became hoarse. Xun Er specially found Ice Spirit Throat Protector, a liquid that could relieve the burning sensation, for him to drink. Yao Chen tasted it and realized that Xun Er had put a lot of effort into helping Xiao Yan. After being defeated by Xiao Yan, Bai Shan became extremely emotional and went on a rampage, destroying the facilities in the room. Hao Zhang Lao intervened and discovered that Bai Shan had lost all his Dou Qi. Knowing that Bai Shan had taken the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, Hao Zhang Lao lamented that the academy would undoubtedly investigate Bai Shan for using forbidden drugs. He criticized Bai Shan for his foolishness and decided to help him conceal the matter.
The representatives from the Central Plains Ancient Clan came to visit and brought many gifts. Gu Yao, the envoy of the Central Plains Ancient Clan, had come to retrieve Xun Er, the clan's young lady. However, Xun Er refused to give up and go back with him. She wanted to participate in the Battle of Sealing to continue her cultivation. Reluctantly, Gu Yao agreed. Xiao Yan went to find Xun Er and felt jealous when he saw her getting along well with Gu Yao. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel jealous and started practicing the Sonic Dou Technique loudly.
