As Ye Qizhen and his team departed, he defended Jiang Fan as his best brother, but teammate Qian remained convinced Jiang Fan was a bad influence and planned to report him to Yan Shuai.

• Jiang Fan told Ye Qizhen he had reached early-stage fourth rank and had less than 120,000 Psychic Power, shocking him with his progress.

• Wei Tingshan blamed Jiang Fan for the Sharp Edge Squad’s crystal cores, but A San stopped him from making an accusation without evidence.

Jiang Fan and Yan Tianyang shared a meal, where Yan Tianyang guessed that Jiang Fan’s opportunity might be connected to picking up trash, and the two discussed who should lead Divine Wind Camp. They headed toward Yuanwu, where Yan Tianyang revealed that he had graduated from Jiang Fan’s school, while the Edge-Breaking Squad continued plotting to kill Jiang Fan.
