Fan Yu rescued Bai Jingtian and two freshmen when Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire rampage threatened them, then tried to recruit Bai Jingtian into the Soul Tool Department. Yan Shaozhe arrived to find Ma Xiaotao defeated, while Fan Yu demanded that he pay for the Soul Tools and compensate Bai Jingtian.

• Yan Shaozhe tested Bai Jingtian’s spiritual power, found it strong enough to withstand Soul Shock, and took him into the Star Dou Great Forest to search for a Soul Beast.
