Qin Ze learned that the Fairness Society’s use of Void Beasts was suspicious, while the Cloud Clan and other powerful races were secretly hunting them. After returning from the Abyss with 1,250 Soul Orbs, he divided them among his strongest clones and ordered them to prepare for future battles.

• Qin Ze read the group’s discussion and considered how the Fairness Society’s mass casualties undermined its stated mission and recruitment.

After consulting Executive Yao Yuan, Qin Ze learned that the technique was designed for Maka bodies, leaving Yao Yuan curious about how Qin Ze had mastered it so completely.

• Qin Ze refused to reveal the origin of his Fire Movement Technique, charged the Maka Race ambassador to demonstrate it, and collected the promised Soul Orbs.
• The Maka Race ambassador invited Qin Ze to meet the fifth prince, Shajia, and gave him a letter offering one thousand high-grade crystals for a visit.
• Qin Ze read Shajia’s letter, remained unsure whether the invitation was safe, and called Teacher Yao to ask for help contacting Executive Yao Yuan.
• Yao Yuan examined Qin Ze’s flame, explained that the Fire Movement Technique was suited to Maka physiology and poorly suited to humans, then asked how Qin Ze had perfected it.

As the operation approached, Qin Ze questioned how he could defeat the Führer, and Fairy pointed out that the mission required completing two objectives.

• Thousand Faces told Qin Ze that a boy had slipped him the note for a piece of rat meat but could not identify the person who hired him.
