Episode 99 Full Recap (Spoilers)

Spoiler warning: this recap covers the whole episode.

Xiao Yan Steps In to Save a Trapped Woman

Xiao Yan arrives in the the Heavenly Tomb Mountains and sees a group of men pressing a woman who is guarding a Spiritual Fox. Wang Chen of Huangquan Pavilion insists he always keeps his promises and wants the fox. Xiao Yan intervenes, and when Wang Chen's dark-attribute combat energy comes at him, Xiao Yan's heavenly flame suppresses it. Wang Chen backs off, saying he will let today's trouble go and will wait for him at the Tianshan Platform. The woman, Nalan Yanran, only then realizes that her rescuer was Xiao Yan.

Huang Tian Joins the Trip to the Blood Pond

Huang Tian of the Diling Sect is also headed for the Tianshan Blood Pond. He admits that he will struggle to reach the top ten on his own skill, but he says a teacher's journey has taught him to trust his own strength. Xiao Yan and Huang Tian agree to travel together, since neither knows the the Heavenly Tomb Mountains well. Their group gets deeper into the mountains, where the territory belongs to a monster tribe that is watching every step.

The Gold-Eating Rat Tribe Sets Its Toll

The Gold-Eating Rat Tribe is the second-ranked group among the ten quotas for the Blood Pool. Its leader, Jin Gu, is about as strong as a six-star Dou Zong, and his tribe's territory gives them a clear advantage. Xiao Yan pays respect to Jin Gu and offers an energy training pill that restores combat energy. Jin Gu is impressed by his alchemy, since alchemists are rare among monsters, and lets the group pass through the formation.

The Rat Tide Sonic Trial Begins

With only four spots still open, the trial is set. Participants must climb the stone steps within one hour, facing the rat tide sonic formation the whole way. Jin Gu warns that the sonic attacks can ignore combat energy defenses and can overwhelm even a Dou Huang. Hu Ya of the Huagu Sect and others join the contest as more people step onto the steps, which makes the sound grow louder. The episode ends with the group working out how to resist the sonic attack, since brute force will not get them through.
