Episode 9 recap: Lv Liang extracted Zhang Xi Lin's memories.
Zhang Chu Lan was about to take the stage, but Feng Bao Bao appeared calm and drowsy, which puzzled Feng Xing Tong. Little did Feng Xing Tong know that Feng Bao Bao was already confident that Zhang Chu Lan would win. The match began, and Zhang Chu Lan entered with an indifferent stride, causing the audience to become furious and mock him for being shameless. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chu Lan showed no sign of embarrassment and deliberately stretched his ears to listen.
The referee announced that Zhang Chu Lan won because Shan Shi Tong failed to arrive on time for the match. This result pushed one of the mutants over the edge, prompting them to jump into the arena, wanting to have a fair fight with Zhang Chu Lan. However, the rules prohibited anyone from disturbing the proceedings, and the mutant was forcibly expelled from the competition.
Ten hours earlier, Feng Bao Bao buried Shan Shi Tong in a pit. When Shan Shi Tong refused to accept it, Zhang Chu Lan fought with him. Shan Shi Tong realized during the match that he was merely a pawn being used by Zhang Chu Lan, even though the power of the Dan Book was immense, it couldn't defeat Zhang Chu Lan. Instead, it made Zhang Chu Lan aware of his weakness, which was his excessive reliance on the Dan Book. The power of the Dan Book depended on the input of qi, and Shan Shi Tong found himself trapped in a dilemma. If the power was great, his agility would be slow, which is why he could never hit Zhang Chu Lan. In the end, it was Zhang Chu Lan who intentionally allowed him to land a hit, just to test the power of the Dan Book. Shan Shi Tong realized that he couldn't possibly win against Zhang Chu Lan and chose to concede and forfeit the next day's match.
Zang Long was one of the few mutants who could withstand attacks. He had long admired Lu Ling Long and knew that winning this match would earn him a meal with her. As a result, he fought even harder, getting knocked down by his opponent Zhang Ling Yu time and time again, but he would always rise again. Zhang Ling Yu became annoyed with Zang Long and used a technique to completely defeat him. The commentator believed that Zhang Ling Yu's performance showed a lack of belief in love, which was why he didn't give Zang Long a chance to win. Hu Jie, wearing Hu Sheng's face, won the match with the Hu family's soul-severing palm. At the critical moment, he absorbed his opponent's qi but regained a trace of sanity when the referee announced his victory, throwing the mutant he held in his hand to the ground. Some spectators in the stands, who saw clearly, thought that Hu Sheng was too ruthless and was playing for keeps.
Jia Zheng Liang was playing hoopla on the street when Feng Sha Yan approached him. With a single throw, Feng Sha Yan successfully landed a doll, leaving Jia Zheng Liang thinking it was just luck. However, Feng Sha Yan's skill was the real deal. The close proximity between them gave Jia Zheng Liang a different feeling. Hu Sheng, who had been feeling hungry, was immediately drawn to Feng Sha Yan and started following him. Feng Zheng Tong, worried about Feng Sha Yan, went out to look for him. When Hu Sheng saw them becoming a pair, he realized he had no chance. Unable to control his hunger, he ended up feeding on the supernatural being accompanying him.
Shen Chong felt the flow of qi and was in a pleasant mood. Xia He disagreed with his behavior and asked him not to go too far. But Shen Chong didn't take it to heart. To him, as long as the borrowed qi had a return, it was a good thing, and there was no need to question the reason behind it. Lv Liang extracted Zhang Xi Lin's memories and learned that the person who killed Zhang Xi Lin had been together with Zhang Chu Lan all along. This news excited him, and he used it to lure Xu Xiang to Longhu Mountain. At the same time, he informed Xu Xiang's enemies about his journey to Longzhou Mountain.
While Zhang Chu Lan went out to buy a drink, Lao Lv and Lao Fang's men forcibly took him away. As soon as Zhang Chu Lan arrived, Lao Lv rudely demanded that he hand over the source of qi flow. Zhang Chu Lan sarcastically commented on Lao Lv's age and questioned if he could still produce a son like Lv Liang. This angered Lao Lv, who revealed that Lv Liang was his great-grandson and Lv Gong's younger brother. Lv Liang's soul manipulation technique was extremely powerful. Lv Gong wanted to kill Lv Liang, who had killed his sister, and sought to obtain Zhang Chu Lan's power. Unable to avoid the situation, Zhang Chu Lan allowed Lv Liang to use the Clear Soul technique to verify that he was not lying. Lv Liang didn't believe that Zhang Chu Lan truly didn't possess the source of qi flow and wanted to take action himself. Xu San and Feng Bao Bao arrived, and their powerful background made Lao Lv wary, forcing him to release Zhang Chu Lan.
Shen Chong confronted Hu Jie to collect a debt. Hu Jie was at a loss as to where to obtain qi and happened to be participating in a competition. He lost control and forcibly absorbed Bai Shi Xue's qi during the match. Wang Ye and Zhu Ge Qing realized the situation wasn't good and immediately entered the field to rescue Bai Shi Xue. They also engaged in a power struggle, making each other wary. Zhang Xue Lan received a text message from a mysterious person who knew who killed Zhang Xi Lin. Unable to resist the desire for the truth, she went alone to the small grove for the appointment, only to discover that the person was Lv Liang. Zhang Chu Lan saw Feng Bao Bao's face through Zhang Xi Lin's memories, which was particularly difficult for him to accept.
