After killing the Gu Masters drawn to the scene, he shattered the Golden Bell Phantom and successfully suppressed the arm before it could explode.

Fang Yuan and Feng Jinhuang negotiated a wager duel, with Feng Jinhuang offering a method to regain new life and asking for a priority supply of Courageous Gall Gu if she won. They began a public contest to refine Five Aperture Fire Tower Gu, and Feng Jinhuang used two Refinement Dao killer moves to catch up with Fang Yuan.

• Feng Jinhuang realized the ghost fire was meant to distract her and force her to waste a stronger attack, but she chose not to destroy it.
• Fang Yuan released a Rank 2 Ghost Fire Gu, and the two ghost-fire balls circled around Feng Jinhuang, doubling the pressure on her.

Fang Yuan wore Feng Jinhuang down with Ghost Fire until his foundational skill caught up with her killer moves, then disrupted her final attack and left her unconscious. Just as he seemed certain to win the betting match, the nascent Gu Worm he was refining suddenly self-destructed.
