• Yang Genshuo and Zhu Xi upgraded the Laser Sword to the S10 version, and Tian Zhe tested its enormous laser beam on a golf course.
• Yang Genshuo gave Yang Qiangjing the S8 Laser Sword blueprints, and she spent months refining the weapon into a practical sword with formations and automated functions.

Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei arrived and halted both the Tribe’s giant and Elder Liu’s desperate assault, leaving the embattled forces to explain the crisis.

Yang Qiangjing proposed using Yang Feng’s possible succession to the Feng Clan leadership to secure passage through the Hanging Gardens and reach Haishen Dynasty for water-element materials. Yang Genshuo accepted her reasoning after learning Feng Yi likely had no other descendants, but Yang Feng left with Elder Yun to rescue Cloudveil Spirit Sect disciples before they could discuss the plan further.

• Yang Qiangjing explained that the Yang Family needed cheap water-element materials from Haishen Dynasty and outlined routes through Yindi Dynasty and the Hanging Gardens.
