After they agreed to keep the secret and train there, Jiang Feng saw Long Haochen’s and Lu Xi’s squads rush from the Mission Tower toward the Executive Government.

Jiang Feng led the General Grade No. 21 Demon Hunt Squad through another Eternal Tower trial, defeating the fifth stage’s guardians and collecting spiritual power orbs. After returning to the villa, he discovered he could no longer absorb the orbs himself, then distributed them among his companions as they prepared for another trial.
