Jiang Fan arrived over Luan City and used his power to kill the strange beasts emerging from the rifts, then guided Jiao Yang’s squad as they rescued civilians. When the squad reached its carrying limit, Jiang Fan headed alone to Luan City No. 1 Primary School, where children and two teachers were hiding as strange beasts approached.

• Jiang Fan attacked the strange beasts emerging through the sky rifts above Luan City with flaming arrows.
• Jiang Fan guided Jiao Yang’s squad through the ruined city to trapped survivors, and they rescued several hundred people.
• Jiao Yang told Jiang Fan that his squad had reached its limit, so Jiang Fan agreed to rescue the next group alone.
• Jiang Fan spotted children in danger at Luan City No. 1 Primary School and cut off the call as he hurried there.
• At the school, a frightened child’s cries drew approaching strange beasts toward the hiding children and teachers.
• The male teacher told Teacher Xiao Ran to stay with the children while he tried to lure the strange beasts away.

• After more than ten minutes, Jiang Fan stopped when he realized the group had covered only about a hundred meters despite needing to reach a safe zone two kilometers away.

Jiang Fan developed a way to use Wind Element Energy to carry the children and their teachers together toward the safe zone. The group left the dangerous route behind and flew toward the defense zone.

• Jiang Fan shaped the wind into a net and lifted Teacher Chen, Teacher Xiao Ran, and the children into the air.
• Jiang Fan raised the group about two meters and rapidly carried them toward the defense zone.

Jiang Fan rescued children and dozens of other survivors from Luancheng while guiding Jiao Yang’s team, then stayed behind as the phantom neared its complete descent. After Jiao Yang retreated to the safe zone, Jiang Fan began killing the growing number of exotic beasts to absorb their Life Energy.

• Jiao Yang organized his team to head toward the children, but the shifting terrain left them unable to find their way until Jiang Fan arrived with the rescued children.

• Jiao Yang led the exhausted team back to safety while Jiang Fan stayed behind to fight the exotic beasts.

Jiang Fan slaughtered mutated beasts in Luan City, then investigated the descending phantom image and glimpsed a world beyond it. After an unseen attacker fired at him, he fled toward the safe zone, where a thin old man appeared and locked him in place.

• Jiang Fan killed mutated beasts for over an hour, but stopped when the phantom image descended and pressure increased.

• After trading dozens of blows, Jiang Fan had only minor signs of wear while Yu Boyan was bloodied and his clothes were in tatters.
• Jiang Fan said he would stop playing with Yu Boyan and go after Si Kongyingjie, then vanished as Yu Boyan shouted after him.

Jiang Fan killed Si Kongyingjie after rejecting his pleas for mercy, and Ye Qiubai intervened when Yu Boyan attacked. With the phantom projection nearing completion, Jiang Fan asked Ye Qiubai to help him lock onto Yu Boyan so he could stop him from escaping and reporting the killing to the Si Kong Family.

• Ye Qiubai told Jiang Fan to return to the safe zone and offered to hold Yu Boyan back, but Jiang Fan insisted they could not let him escape.
• Jiang Fan asked Ye Qiubai to help him lock onto Yu Boyan as the phantom projection neared completion.

As Luancheng’s phantom image descended, Jiang Fan worried that the Si Kong Family would discover he had killed Si Kongyingjie, but Ye Qiubai urged him to seek protection and grow stronger.

• Jiang Fan gave Jiao Yang a false explanation for his earlier conflict, and Jiao Yang left to investigate a quarrel among the survivors.
• Jiang Fan admitted to Ye Qiubai that Jiao Yang’s report might expose him as a suspect in Si Kongyingjie’s death, but Ye Qiubai explained the Si Kong Family could suspect him regardless.
• Ye Qiubai advised Jiang Fan to return to Ninth Martial Arts University after the crisis and ask Dean Hong for protection while he strengthened himself.

• After sensing that the descent had finished, Jiang Fan told Jiao Yang that the main army could advance.

Jiang Fan broke through the Luan City safe zone’s blocked gate and helped drive back the mutant-beast invasion, impressing Ye Zitao and Song Xixi with his strength.

• Ye Qiubai told Jiang Fan to meet him the next afternoon to learn the Dharma Gate for spiritual cultivation, and Jiang Fan planned to measure his vital energy that morning.

Jiang Fan rented an advanced training room at Spring and Autumn Martial Arts Hall in Luo City to test his Blood Energy and combat power. A group of wealthy students arrived wanting the room, but their leader apologized and agreed to wait while Jiang Fan went to use it.
