As he visualized the Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon Painting, Transcendent Factors gathered in his Sea of Consciousness and formed a silver-white ball of light.

After learning more about the dangers surrounding the city and his own enemies, Jiang Chuan decided to apply to board at Immortal Gate High School.

• Wu Jing noticed Jiang Chuan devouring Transcendent Factors at an astonishing rate and received a message about a suspected Demon King outside the city.

Jiang Chuan’s unfinished visualization of the Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon Painting unexpectedly destroyed a Blood Sea Divine Cult member’s Yin Spirit when the man tried to kill him. Suspecting the man’s true body and other cult members were in Lu Ping’s apartment, Jiang Chuan entered Chuan Nan Community and opened the door to Room 402.

• Jiang Chuan resumed visualizing and watched his soul begin to solidify beneath the growing moon in his Sea of Consciousness.

• Jiang Chuan entered Chuan Nan Community, reached Building 18, and opened the electronic lock on Room 402.

Jiang Chuan searched the Blood Sea Divine Cult stronghold and found valuable armor, weapons, a mysterious golden sphere, and the Bald Man’s belongings. After learning Lu Ping planned to gather sacrifices at the cult’s new headquarters beneath the Grassland Hotpot Restaurant, Jiang Chuan considered striking the Nandu branch but hesitated to inform the authorities.

• Jiang Chuan discovered a B-grade Alloy Battle Armor in the living room and found the dead Bald Man in the guest room.

• Jiang Chuan identified the shop as the Grassland Hotpot Restaurant and resolved to attack the Blood Sea Divine Cult’s Nandu branch, though he doubted he could defeat its stronger members.
• Jiang Chuan considered reporting the cult to the Public Security Bureau but hesitated because he might lose the valuable items he had found.

Jiang Chuan hid the spoils from his fight with the Blood Sea Divine Cult and learned that Song Zhiyan had completed visualization in one night. Then his class left Nandu City for field training, and the trucks reached the city’s edge.

Jiang Chuan and First Year Class 42 learned wilderness survival skills on a mountain outside Nandu City, where Wei Beishan explained how to guard against demon beasts and assigned them to find food and water.

After the group found and shared the squirrel’s stash of nuts and dates, Meng Nanxi offered to buy it, and Jiang Chuan saw her as a golden opportunity.

• Jiang Chuan and Wei Dong searched the mountain for edible plants and followed Xiang Yining’s call to chase a fast-moving squirrel.

• A loud roar and distant smoke and flames signaled a fight between cultivators and demonic beasts, so Wu Jing ordered everyone back to the truck.

After a demon beast’s battle sent shockwaves through the mountain, Jiang Chuan and the other students escaped with Wu Jing’s help and returned safely to Immortal Gate High School. As they ate lunch, Meng Nanxi began explaining how Blood-Patterned Iron could be forged.

• Jiang Chuan, Xiang Yining, Meng Nanxi, and Wei Dong were thrown by the clash between a human cultivator and a demon beast, but Wu Jing caught them with his Divine Sense and helped them reach the truck.
