• Phoenix made the Oak Tree its home, then sang as the tribe performed its Sacrificial Dance and Phoenix’s flames spread Contract emblems across the tree and the tribe members.

Lucky learned the Pachi Tribe’s inherited knowledge after helping the tribe awaken Nen, then returned to Heavenly Arena and discovered that the Puwenla Group was intensifying its search for Gold and the Pachi Tribe.

• Webster, Frank, Mika, Spencer, and Matt arrived in Keli City and split up to gather information on the Conrad Family.
• In the Basen Rainforest, Gao Yougan’s team detected no targets, so Kellan asked Emma to use her Space Gate ability to search for hidden spaces.

• Webster suggested that the team might need to join forces with others, but Frank detected that the Conrad Family had surrounded their rented house.
• The Conrad Family smashed open the door, and Spencer recognized the executive he had controlled the previous day.

After Eva exorcised Belloc’s hypnosis, Webster’s five-man mercenary team escaped a Conrad Family encirclement using smoke and a conjured military vehicle. Lucky and Julia learned that the team was among several hired by Pitman, and Julia prepared to intervene while Lucky allowed the Pachi Tribe’s Divine Tree knowledge to spread.

• Eva sensed malicious Nen on Belloc and used her conjured Cross-shaped necklace to exorcise him, restoring his memories of Spencer’s control.
• Belloc and the Conrad Family confronted Webster’s five-man team, which used Matt’s smoke Nen and Frank’s guidance to escape the room without fighting.

Lucky returned to the Pachi Tribe’s Sacred Land and learned about the tribe’s defenses and recent battles, while Kellan, Webster, and Phil’s teams shared intelligence and devised a plan to infiltrate the tribe. The chapter ended with the three teams preparing to test a Pachi Tribe member so Renam could impersonate them.

• Lucky saw that the Pachi Tribe had activated both Altars, and Gante briefed him on the fighting, the tribe’s damaged defenses, and its plans to organize inherited knowledge for him.

• Renam offered to use his ability to copy a target’s appearance, and the three teams planned to test a Pachi Tribe member in a direct fight before attempting the impersonation.

• Kellan’s group split into two teams and headed toward separate Divine Script ruins in the Basen Rainforest, hoping to provoke the Pachi Tribe into appearing.
• Lucky tried to form a Water Elemental from water but found it could not remain stable for long.

• Lucky tested additional Divine Scripts and found that higher-quality pearls could hold more complex inscriptions.
• Lucky used a Black Pearl to create a Water Elemental he could control through simple preset action patterns.

Lucky tested the limits of his water-based Divine Script Nen Beast as the Pachi Tribe fought to protect its ruins, suffering eleven deaths before aid from the Conrad Family helped turn the tide.

• Lucky reflected on his lack of a subtle detection ability and asked Biscuit for advice, but she could not suggest a solution.
• Netero reminded Lucky that his Sharingan was an ability, prompting Lucky to consider developing it to see through transformations and awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Lucky tested his Sharingan’s mental illusion on Biscuit, then used their training session to investigate how he might detect genuine transformations. The chapter left him wondering whether Palm could be an exception to his aura-based approach.

• Lucky used his Sharingan to trap Biscuit in an illusion that fooled her sight and En, and she struggled to break free.
• Biscuit challenged Lucky to test whether her martial arts will could overcome his illusion, and he changed the training ground into a snowy field.
• Lucky explained that his illusion had a ten-minute limit and could ensnare someone again if they looked into his eyes.
• Lucky considered detecting real transformations by noticing disharmony between a person’s body and aura, and practiced changing his own appearance.
• Lucky wondered whether Palm might be an exception to his proposed method.

Biscuit resisted Lucky’s Sharingan illusion through meditation, while Lucky trained to use the Sharingan to detect changes caused by Nen abilities. In the Basen Rainforest, a failed rescue attempt led to the hired squads’ deaths and the annihilation of the survivors.

• The Pachi Tribe sought revenge, and the Conrad Family found and killed the five survivors.

Lucky oversaw the Heavenly Arena’s first Gravity Training Room, built using Divine Script based on the Pachi Tribe’s inherited knowledge.

• Lucky prepared to discuss reforms to the Fighting Tournament and other changes with the heads of Martial Arts Schools.
• A team trained by the Heavenly Arena completed a preliminary Gravity Training Room on the 235th Floor, though staff warned that its Nen consumption could hinder wider use.
• Lucky entered the room for a test as eight operators supplied Nen, raising its gravity to about eight times normal for half an hour.
• After the operators exhausted their Nen, Lucky and a staff member found that the room’s Divine Script continued to create a roughly ten-kilogram gravity difference.
• Lucky ordered his Divine Script research teams to find ways to improve the gravity effect, envisioning a broader remodeling of the Heavenly Arena.

Silva Zoldyck arrived in Keli City to assassinate Julia Conrad, but her schedule, Nen-using bodyguards, and crowded surroundings made it difficult to find an opening. While he watched her at the Heavenly Arena, Julia managed KOF Tournament preparations and the Conrad Family’s new fighter-recruitment brokerage.

• Pitman hired Silva Zoldyck to kill Julia Conrad because he blamed the Conrad Family for worsening the conflict with the Pachi Tribe.
