Fanxin tested how to move with the Wind and Sand Tower’s storm while exploring the Tower of Vicious Wolves, where Langyue warned him that its beautiful landscapes were illusions.

• Langyue explained that the Tower’s hills, forests, rivers, and lakes were illusions that had once lured wolf-clan ancestors to their deaths.
• Fanxin held Langyue and practiced moving with the Wind and Sand Tower’s wind and sand, learning to guide the storm while running.

• After practicing all morning, Fanxin stopped to rest and found that the illusory scenery had disappeared, leaving piles of bones.
• Langyue said the bones belonged to the wolf clan and other groups devoured by vicious wolves, and Fanxin sensed resentful spirits among them and decided to purify them.

After the spirits warned him to keep Langyue nearby and grow stronger, he prepared to confront the vicious wolves surrounding them.

• Fanxin used the Light of Purification to reveal the resentful spirits among the mountains of bones while Langyue guarded him from the vicious wolves.

After agreeing with Langyue, Ren Fang, and Xiaojin to confront the person behind the wolves, Fanxin studied Little Fox’s abilities and struggled to find a safe way to use them.

• Fanxin and Langyue freed the souls imprisoned in the wolves inside Wolf Valley, then cleared the remaining vicious wolves outside and returned to Ren Fang.
• Fanxin explained that the wolves had been manufactured from other creatures and that Wolf Valley was the Wolf God’s burial place, which an unknown enemy had taken over to try to revive the Wolf God.
• Langyue, Ren Fang, and Xiaojin agreed to help Fanxin confront the enemy, and Fanxin warned them to follow his orders because they could not see souls.
• 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.

• Fanxin decided not to use his secondary soul and instead imprinted Little Fox’s abandoned soul fragment with his main soul, assimilating it into a little nine-tailed fox.
• Langyue secretly watched over Fanxin during the night, and the next morning Fanxin, Ren Fang, Langyue, and Xiaojin traveled to the island where Wolf Valley was located.

• Little Black Cat told Fanxin she had found collapsed houses on the island and felt a gloomy presence there, prompting him to wonder whether resentful spirits remained.

Fanxin and his companions entered Wolf Valley's ninth level and used Little Black Cat's brown flames to clear away its filth without damaging the valley. 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.
• Little Black Cat covered the ninth level in brown flames, which burned away the filth while leaving Wolf Valley intact.

• The Blood King threatened Fanxin and ordered him to submit, but Fanxin refused because the Blood King had killed his clansmen.

Fanxin pretended to accept the Blood King’s offer while secretly arranging a plan to flood the tower with seawater and exploit the Blood King’s Devil Fruit weakness. The Blood King revealed that he intended to train Fanxin until his body could withstand being taken over.

• Fanxin asked the Blood King for time to consider becoming his representative, then returned to Ren Fang and told her he was only stalling.
• Fanxin had Xiaojin split off part of its body and sent Ren Fang and the others away with instructions to carry out a secret plan.

• The Blood King admitted that he wanted Fanxin’s body and planned to train him until it was strong enough to survive the takeover.

Fanxin agreed to train under the Blood King while refusing to surrender his body, but the Blood King used his blood-control ability to force Fanxin’s movements and began a brutal training regimen. 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.

• Fanxin agreed to take part in the Blood King’s training while insisting the Blood King would have to fight him to take his body.

• 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.
• Xiaojin warned that replacing the blood would make much of Fanxin’s body Xiaojin’s, then explained how Fanxin could avoid being controlled by fusing his soul with part of Xiaojin.

• Fanxin returned to the ninth floor, where the Blood King asked him what the outside world had become like.

After three months of training, Fanxin learned that Xiaojin had replaced all the blood in his body, freeing him from the Blood King's control. When the Blood King tried to seize him, Fanxin escaped the tower and ordered Langyue to flood its ninth floor with giant water wolves.

• Fanxin resumed training against the three blood men, and three months passed as his strength improved.
• Xiaojin told Fanxin that all the blood in his body had been replaced, and Fanxin secretly had some of the Blood King's blood returned to hide the change.

• The Blood King tried to seize Fanxin with his fruit ability, but Fanxin escaped through the eighth floor and out of the tower.
• Fanxin told Langyue to send countless giant water wolves into the tower to flood the ninth floor.

Fanxin flooded the ninth level to try to drown Blood King, but Blood King protected himself inside a floating sphere of blood. Fanxin then devised a plan to use Sea Kings to break the sphere, and Langyue prepared Wolf Valley as bait while the flooding continued.

• Blood King saw the seawater rising on the ninth level and hid inside a hollow sphere of blood to keep it from reaching him.

• Fanxin told Langyue to attack the Sea Kings and lure them to the ninth level to strike the sphere of blood.

• Fanxin and Langyue lured Sea Kings into the ninth floor with giant water wolves, and the Sea Kings attacked the Blood King's sphere until cracks appeared.
• The Blood King repaired the sphere, injured the Sea Kings, and led them on a chase while Langyue relayed what happened to Fanxin.
• Fanxin planned to immobilize the sphere, then asked Langyue to push it out of the ninth floor.
• Langyue's water wolves and the Sea Kings pushed the sphere toward the entrance, but the Blood King repeatedly forced it back.
• After Langyue suggested abandoning Wolf Valley, Fanxin refused and decided to enter the ninth floor to meet the Blood King.

Fanxin decided to face the Blood King again and negotiated a deal to save Wolf Valley for his Wolf Clan friend. He offered the Blood King his body, with the condition that the Blood King would be trapped in Fanxin’s mind with a limited lifespan if he failed to take it.

• Fanxin proposed returning to the Blood King, and Langyue, Ren Fang, and Little Black initially warned that it was too dangerous.
• After Fanxin challenged them to suggest another way to defeat the Blood King, Ren Fang agreed on the condition that Fanxin return alive, and Little Black silently consented.
• Langyue created two giant air wolves, and Fanxin took them into the giant tower and reached the ninth level.
• Fanxin knocked on the Blood King’s sphere to announce his presence, then offered his body in exchange for Wolf Valley.
• The Blood King accepted the deal, and Fanxin added that if the Blood King failed to take his body, he could live in Fanxin’s mind for a limited time.
