He completed his breakthrough to the Soul Ancestor realm, becoming the squad’s second Soul Ancestor and strongest frontal fighter.

• Zhang Ning and the other children resisted the gang as its more than fifty Soul Kings threatened them and held the restaurant patrons hostage.

Zhang Ning and her companions struggled to protect hostages from a gang of Soul Kings until Lu Dali and Zhang Zetao's group arrived. With nineteen defenders now facing the gang, the gang leader still believed they would all be killed.

• Zhang Zetao and seven others broke into the restaurant and drove back the gang members, bringing the defenders' number to nineteen.
• The gang leader dismissed the newcomers and remained certain his gang would annihilate them.

Zhang Ning and the others used Wu Peng’s enhanced Void Mirror Array to redirect the buzz-cut man’s attack and kill him with his own blade. Hei Xu then forced the frightened gang members to attack the array, leaving the battle raging.

• Shi Yuan gave Zhang Ning and the others Green Lotus Seeds that restored their strength and mental energy.

• The gang members hesitated after seeing their own attack kill their ally, afraid their soul skills would be redirected toward them.
• Hei Xu threatened to kill the gang members if they did not attack, so they launched an assault on the mirror array.
