Dongli Cang blasted the beast tide for the livestream, which cut off before he could approach Di Yubing, while Su Luo watched and returned to studying the Aberrant Element.

Dongli Cang wondered whether his treatment of Di Yubing meant he had fallen in love, but after the system denied that he had been influenced, he returned to his usual indulgences.

Su Luo, mentally exhausted from his research, took a break outside his laboratory but was attacked by Dongli Cang, who accused him of being a mage and charged with lightning. Su Luo blinded Dongli Cang with a black fireball and retreated to the laboratory, where Dongli Cang found himself facing a vast, terrifying spell array.

• Dongli Cang arrived in a rage and attacked Su Luo with lightning, while Su Luo used layered Flame Walls and retreated toward the laboratory.

• Dongli Cang rushed to the laboratory entrance, where he stopped before an activated formation filled with thousands of black fireballs and a colossal sphere at its center.

Su Luo used a series of traps and elemental spells to drive Dongli Cang out of the laboratory, then hit him with curses that made him fall unconscious. Dongli Cang awoke amid raging flames, leaving his fate uncertain.

Su Luo trapped Dongli Cang in the incinerator and used a concentrated fire attack to destroy his lower body, but Dongli Cang transformed into a lightning cocoon. With his Mana nearly gone and mutated beasts approaching, Su Luo lifted his laboratory into the air and fled while watching for signs that Dongli Cang would emerge.

• Su Luo analyzed the Thunder Armor and struck Dongli Cang repeatedly in the incinerator, then pierced its weaker lower-body defenses with a concentrated line of fire.

• Dongli decided to redirect his ability development and commanded all Mutated Beasts to attack the target.

Su Luo scavenged power and materials from an abandoned city, rebuilding the Floating Laboratory with larger Mana Pools and an improved flight system.
