• After taking a second pill, Su Ye recovered rapidly, but Xu Yong advised him to rest for two months, and Su Ye replied that he could still cultivate.

Su Ye insisted on learning the Dragon Phoenix Bone Forging Method despite his severe injuries, and Xu Yong finally gave him the Jade Slip. Su Ye instantly mastered all one hundred forms and forged his fiftieth Martial Bone, leaving Xu Yong, Li Hai, and Li Aoxue stunned.

• Xu Yong and Li Hai warned Su Ye to rest for two months because his injuries made Bone Tempering dangerous.

The Heavenly Pill Pavilion then decided to support Chen Kai alone for the Spring Outing Cup, leaving Zhang Jing’s promise to Su Ye in doubt.

• Po Jun asked Wang Jian'an about the plan he had carried out in the Sea of Thorns Secret Realm and revealed that her old contingency would target the top prodigies from the six cities.

In Shenyun City, Zhang Jing and Zhang Yuan discovered that Su Ye had used all 200 portions of ingredients, and Zhang Jing wondered whether that was even his limit.

After refining pills and realizing his Spiritual Seed accelerated his progress, Su Ye tested a transformed Sea of Blood Submergence against Li Aoxue. His balanced Black and White Trait fused yin and yang into a sword strike powerful enough to force her back at Mid Blood Nourishing, and Li Aoxue recognized that it could injure Blood Nourishing practitioners.
