Over half a year at the Training Camp, Zhang Gui advanced into the top hundred while Dongguan strengthened his fundamentals and defeated Mohanderson in the War God Palace. As Hong arrived to lead the trainees on their Australian Continent trial, Dongguan planned to use the trip to search for Mist Island and the Yunmo Star Ship.

• Dongguan and Xiao Jian trained Zhang Gui, who reached the top hundred after his physical attributes rose to intermediate war general level; Dongguan rewarded him with dragon blood and hunted lord-level monsters for money.

After splitting the island’s spirits of plants and trees, Dongguan negotiated a deal with Hong to trade the vine’s location for Ancient Civilization Ruins technology and information.
