After the duel left Yu Tianheng gravely wounded, Yu Xiaogang rejected the evidence that Yin Changqing had reached level fifty-five. Two years later, the Holy Dragon Sect revealed its immense growth: Tuoba Tingxue and Yin Yu had both reached level ninety-six, while Yin Changqing had become a level seventy-eight Soul Sage with a hundred-thousand-year seventh ring.

• Tuoba Xi told Yin Changqing that Spirit Hall had unanimously approved Holy Dragon Academy’s request to enter two teams in the tournament.
