• Shi Feng sold batches of Ice Resistance Gems, earning thousands of Magic Crystals as Coldwind City's players and guilds scrambled to buy them.

He equipped the team with Mana Weapons and ordered Gu Jiujie to engage the Ice Ape Warlord, while Hecate remained confident it would secure the first clear.

• Hundred Ages Dynasty members watched the Asura Adventure Group enter the ruins, and Tyrant Blade Chang Kong expected to profit by offering help to either side.
• Bloodlight learned that Shi Feng was leading the team and believed Hecate's lead and progress toward the final Boss made its first clear inevitable.

• Shi Feng left for Coldwind City’s City Hall as Yan Ya departed to assemble the group.

Shi Feng became Coldwind City's acting city lord and gained authority to develop the city for the Asura Adventure Group. He chose to build a small teleportation gate linking the city to the Ice-Snow Ruins.

• The Asura Adventure Group traveled through the portal in Coldwind City and used the Hero Key and passes to reach the abandoned temple in the Frozen City region.
