His near-Nonhuman-intensity magnetic field surprises Biotech's consultants, marking him as an extraordinary anomaly at Transcendence Threshold.
• Ji Linxian: Confirmed as the wielder of immense power and authority—his mere presence makes a Nonhuman Rank hesitate. He acts as a protective mentor figure to Lu Chao, stating he "made it in time."
