The episode begins with Mingfei being scolded by Finger for failing to control his Yanling, a powerful and mystical force. Finger explains to Mingfei the significance of the World Tree statue, the symbol of the university, and the history of the Black Dragon Emperor.

Professor Guderian engages Mingfei in a conversation about Yanlings and reveals that Mingfei will undergo a 3E test to determine his bloodline. During the conversation, Guderian presents Mingfei with a music box that plays the dragon language of Nidhogg, the Black Dragon Emperor, suggesting it has a significant influence on dragons from afar. However, Mingfei does not react to the music box's effect, leading Guderian to speculate that Mingfei is a rare mutant whose human genes overshadow his dragon genes.

The episode builds tension around Mingfei's preparations for the exam, while university authorities and students react to the news that Mingfei's unusual non-response to the Emperor's questions has sparked widespread speculation about his true nature.

In the final part of the episode, deeper secrets of ancient dragon lore are explored, with references to the Scrolls of the Frozen Sea and the history of the White Ruler, who opposed the Black Dragon Emperor and faced terrible consequences. This historical narrative raises questions about Mingfei's lineage and his potential significance in the hybrid society of dragon-human hybrids.

The episode concludes with Mingfei passing the 3E exam, in which candidates must interpret visions induced by the dragon language.
