• Tuoba Jin defended his decision to keep a Void Token from Tuoba Ye, while Han ZhengLie urged Tuoba Ye to wait and target Jiang Shu inside the hall.

As he and Han ZhengLie hunted for more beasts, Jiang Shu watched from hiding, already close to completing the pattern and waiting for other geniuses to arrive.

• Tuoba Ye concluded that the planet held the Void Venerable's Inheritance and hurried with Han ZhengLie to kill Ninth Order Star Beasts before rival geniuses found them.
