• Zi Yan ate the pill Lin Feng had prepared, grew into a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl, and fell asleep while digesting its energy.

• Lin Feng used the technique to shape his Beast Fire into a horned lizard and blast a large crater into the swamp.

Lin Feng opened the Three Thousand Lightning Movement scroll beneath a storm and endured the dangerous wind and lightning power as it entered his body. By morning, the scroll had turned blank, but he had absorbed the skill’s origin and began studying its movement diagrams.

• Lin Feng told Medusa that a fallen Dou Zun beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower might help him subdue the Fallen Heart Flame and explained that powerful souls could survive bodily death.
• Lin Feng left Medusa sleeping and went to the rebuilt alchemy room to refine a pill using his Beast Fire and a medicine cauldron from the treasury.

• Lin Feng's second attempt fused the medicinal essences but failed during the final pill-condensing stage.
• Lin Feng studied his failures and Xiao Yan's alchemy notes, then refined the herbs again and successfully made his first Sixth Grade Pill.
• A notice stated that Chapter 155 was under review and might be delayed.

• Xiao Yan asked Yao Chen whether Fallen Heart Flame could escape, and Yao Chen explained that they could capture it after the academy weakened it.
• Fallen Heart Flame unleashed its accumulated power and shattered the first energy barrier despite Su Qian and the elders’ reinforcement.
• Su Qian and the elders raised a second barrier, but Fallen Heart Flame broke it and drove several elders from the tower.
• A thin dark shield appeared over the tower spire and blocked the magma pillar while Su Qian urged the remaining elders to keep holding on for reinforcements.
• Lin Feng felt the tower shaking from Training Room No. 1 and asked Medusa to descend into the magma to search for the Dou Zun’s skeleton.
