After several days of recuperation, Yuanshi had basically recovered. He had also completely refined the Pangu Banner he had seized, making it his own.
He had not expected that after self-destructing the Pangu Banner to escape, he would actually obtain another Pangu Banner. This was still something worth celebrating for Yuanshi.
