Chapter Summaries

Du Gu Bo offered a Green Spirit Ring for the students to absorb, and Tang San overcame his hesitation to accept it. The initial infusion seemed to finish smoothly, but Du Gu Bo warned him that the real absorption was only beginning.

• Du Gu Bo presented his created Green Spirit Ring and invited anyone who had reached a bottleneck to absorb it.

• Tang San felt the ring harmonize with his Blue Silver Grass and believed the absorption had finished.
• Du Gu Bo told Tang San to focus because the real absorption was about to begin.

Tang San absorbed Du Gu Bo’s artificial Green Soul Ring as Zhongli used Water Elemental Power to heal him and secretly cultivate Grass Elemental Power. The process transformed Tang San’s body and Blue Silver Grass, leaving everyone stunned by his unfamiliar new form.

• Du Gu Bo raised the age of the Green Soul Ring by channeling his energy and will into it, intensifying Tang San’s painful absorption.
• Zhongli used Water Elemental Power to strengthen Tang San while drawing in Grass Elemental Power, realizing Du Gu Bo’s Grass affinity had come from an Immortal Herb rather than ice and fire.

• Yu Xiaogang and the others watched Tang San’s transformation in shock.

Tang San absorbed an artificial Spirit Ring created by Du Gu Bo, transformed physically, and rose from level ten to level twenty. Zhongli demonstrated the nature of artificial Spirit Rings to Yu Xiaogang, then learned that Gale Gorge might contain a forgotten wind god inheritance.

• Du Gu Bo severed the energy connection after Tang San reached his absorption limit, and Tang San transformed while his Soul Power rose from level ten to level twenty.
• Tang San bowed to Du Gu Bo in gratitude, and the two green-haired men began speaking amicably.
• Zhongli explained that artificial Spirit Rings were made from will and energy, prompting Yu Xiaogang to admit his research had been inadequate.
• Zhongli asked where the Wind Element was most abundant, and Yu Xiaogang identified Gale Gorge within Hurricane Grand Canyon and mentioned the Thousand Winds Divine Hall.
• Zhongli awarded Yu Xiaogang ten thousand Gold Soul Coins and suggested the ancient divine hall had become the neglected Thousand Winds Ruins.

Yu Xiaogang asked Zhongli whether his half-rank innate soul power could be overcome, and Zhongli told him to train relentlessly for one hundred days. Zhongli then named Tang San’s transformed Martial Soul the Azure God Vine, leaving Tang San grateful and promising to repay him.

• Yu Xiaogang offered to give up the ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in exchange for asking whether he could become stronger despite his half-rank innate soul power.

After Aserine revealed her strength, Tang San asked her to teach him more, and her advice made him question whether he had truly mastered the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

• Aserine explained that Soul Skills became powerful when enhanced with a person’s own abilities, and Du Gu Bo realized her earlier punch had combined a Soul Skill with Geo Elemental Power.
