After dinner, Ba Ge left directly, as he belonged to the largest tribe of the Mountain Natives. Perhaps because of Qi Yue's display of great power, Tu Jie purposely found them an empty cave to live in. Qi Yue told Tu Jie before entering the cave that he should not be disturbed until the start of their Torch Festival, as he wanted to take some time to cultivate his abilities.
In reality, Qi Yue's victory over Ba Ge today was extremely close-calls. His last claw attack expended nearly all his cloud-based energy. After all, Ba Ge's strength was not to be underestimated - with the help of his Black Tiger, Qi Yue might have had to rely on the powers of the Deep Sea Spirit Serpent if not for the effect of Kirin Rage. Hence, after his battle with Ba Ge, Qi Yue was more eager than ever to recover his strength. Now that the threat of the King of Chaos, ever-present back in the primeval forest, was no longer valid, he could cultivate peacefully in the Earth Race's territory.
