• After they rested and ate at home, Fanxin entered his mindscape and examined the abilities stored in Little Fox’s soul fragment.
• Fanxin learned that Little Fox’s wind, attraction, and repulsion abilities depended on having tails, but rejected splitting his soul to create a fox body because it could damage his main soul.

After the soul controlling the level attacked and revealed its connection to the Soul Clan, Fanxin followed its presence and found a long-haired man seated among countless enslaved souls.

• Fanxin and his companions armed themselves, traveled to Wolf Valley, and arranged their formation before entering the ninth level.

Outside, Xiaojin told Ren Fang, Langyue, and Little Black Cat that Fanxin was being beaten by three blood men, leaving them worried and unsure what to do.

• Ren Fang worried that none of them could defeat the Blood King, even if seawater filled the ninth floor.

While Fanxin endured the Blood King’s brutal training, his companions worked to flood the eighth floor and discussed how Xiaojin could free him from the Blood King’s control. Fanxin returned to training with a possible way to escape once the seawater reached the ninth floor, though Xiaojin’s help would require a permanent change to their bodies.

• Langyue persuaded Ren Fang’s group to trust Fanxin’s plan, and Ren Fang assigned everyone tasks to prepare for the fight and fill the eighth floor with seawater.
• Fanxin fought three blood men for nearly three hours before the Blood King called them off and let Fanxin leave to eat and rest.
• Fanxin explained to Langyue, Little Black Cat, and Xiaojin that the Blood King controlled his body through his blood.
• Fanxin asked Xiaojin to replace the blood in his body so he could escape the Blood King’s control before the final battle.
