Driven by his new calling and Yin Guo's support, Yiyang returns to the field of professional billiards. His first stop: a China Open qualifier.

Yiyang returns to China and begins to lay the groundwork for his new venture. At a gathering, a misunderstanding drives a wedge between him and Yin Guo.

While Yin Guo faces off against Liu Xiran again in the final of the nine-ball championship, an injury casts doubt on Yiyang's almost certain victory.
