• Chen Fei used the Wind God's Protection to carry Zhu Shiyu away from Zhang Hanyun, a Tenth Order Peak Stage Primordial Demon, whose pursuit stopped after he saw their speed.
• After confirming Zhang Hanyun had not followed, Chen Fei recovered with Panel Backup and considered making only the outer layer of his soul undergo aberration to disguise himself as a Primordial Demon.
• Six days later, Chen Fei approached Feng Yunlong and examined the Soul Shadow Art, then negotiated a purchase after Feng offered a half-form Earthly Divine Skill.
• Chen Fei paid Feng Yunlong sixty Great Dao Stones for the Soul Shadow Art and the complete soul-type Earthly Divine Skill Azure Nether Divine Seal.
