Chapter Summaries

Gu Ye scanned Yu Xiaogang and, suspecting he had come for treatment of his Martial Soul defect, met him with cuttingly insincere praise. He used Zhu Zhuqing’s unusually powerful third soul ring to challenge Yu Xiaogang’s published soul-ring limits, leaving Yu Xiaogang unable to respond.

• Xiao Wu pressed Gu Ye to explain why he had taken Zhu Zhuqing as his disciple, while Ning Rongrong chatted with him and Oscar felt jealous.

• Yu Xiaogang remained stiff and silent as Gu Ye insisted he was only pursuing his personal interest in training a genius.

Zhu Zhuqing emerged recovered as Yu Xiaogang admitted that his mutated Martial Soul had left him unable to break through Rank 30 and asked Gu Ye for treatment. Gu Ye said Yu Xiaogang’s condition could be treated, while planning to use the treatment to his own advantage.

• Gu Ye told Yu Xiaogang that his condition could still be treated, while privately considering whether to exploit the opportunity.

Gu Ye persuaded Yu Xiaogang to consider experimental treatment for his Martial Soul defect, promising that it might let him break through to level thirty but warning of unknown aftereffects. Yu Xiaogang and Tang San decided to wait and observe Ma Hongjun’s treatment first, as Flender returned with Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai.
