Wang Teng followed the Mysterious Person to a lake where the man searched for the Jade Frost Tree, hoping to use it to reach the War General Level and awaken a water-element talent. After drugging and baiting the Star Beast guarding the lake, the Mysterious Person believed it had been incapacitated and jumped into the water, while Wang Teng watched from hiding.

Wang Teng waited to ambush the Mysterious Person as he went after the Jade Frost Tree, but the Mysterious Person was instead badly beaten by a Black Armor Giant Crocodile.

• Wang Teng noticed Li Rongxue watching him with an affectionate look and avoided her gaze.
• Golin stopped the Rune Grandmasters’ argument and joined them to discuss how to defend Star Maple City.
