Lan Qingyou discovered that her Five Dragon Reincarnation Magic Array had expanded after its forces repelled the Magic Energy Sealing Array, pushing its outer ring outward while the barrier continued working. She left the expanded array alone, while people in the Regional Channel realized it had driven the Mana Tide away from the protected area.

• Lan Qingyou found that her magic array’s outer ring had shifted roughly two thousand five hundred meters outward and confirmed that the array still worked.
