• Fang Yu confronts Fang Han, revealing that he knows Fang Han possesses the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill and the Flood Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram. He presents his logical deductions: the pill explains Fang Han's rapid physique improvement, and the foreign breathing technique proves outside instruction.
