As their energies began to intertwine, they affected Liu Erlong, and Dai Chengfeng stopped to check on her.

• Liu Erlong let Dai Chengfeng feel her Fire Dragon Soul Power circulation and offered to record the fusion routes and experience of herself, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang in exchange for a Soul Sculpting Pill within a week.
