• Shen Long’s subordinates proposed building the first city to attract players and strengthen Shen Sect.
• Shen Long ordered someone to study the City System immediately.

Xiao Fan reviewed the level-100 update and found that completing his Resurrection Art quest now required him to experience a healing evolution, which meant he would have to choose a class.

• Xiao Fan learned that his newly created profession was T1 Rank and earned ten Evolution Fragments, a Mount Space, and three fragments for each player outside Zone 18's Novice Zone who changed to it.
• Zijin returned from her stroll, complained about the lack of Magic Beasts, and agreed to wait a few more days before leaving.
• Xiao Fan declined a prompt to change to Dream Butterfly Flower Envoy, then chose not to hide his ID when the system announced his creation of the profession.

• Sword Qingfeng called Jiu Chen exceptionally powerful, prompting players to wonder how the level 19 novice had impressed the game's top player.

After creating a high-ranked Profession, Xiao Fan examined the newly added Mount System and learned about the game’s expanding features. He decided to create three more Professions in Zone 18, then level up and leave.
