Chapter Summaries

Bai Ge awakened his martial soul, a Virgo Golden Saint Cloth with Sagittarius wings, and discovered that Qian Renxue’s martial soul had resonated with his.

Bai Ge traveled with She Long to the Star Dou Great Forest, hunted a Crystal Earth Dragon Lizard, and absorbed its Spirit Ring. After Qian Renxue confronted him about his first Spirit Skill, Bai Ge revealed that the ring had granted him Crystal Wall, an absolute defense that reflected attacks, and offered to teach her Teleportation.

• Dai Mubai warned Tang San away from Oscar’s sausage after Oscar revealed its embarrassing Soul Chant, and Tang San explained the incident to Xiao Wu.

• Ning Rongrong introduced herself as a level twenty-eight support Soul Master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and explained that her Spirit Rings boosted strength and speed.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Ge introduced themselves, and the group was shocked by Bai Ge’s level thirty-seven Soul Power.

• As Bai Ge prepared to use his third Spirit Skill, Zhao Wuji admitted defeat and said the group had passed, leaving Bai Ge bewildered.

Bai Ge and Tang San discovered that they shared a connection to lost martial traditions from their past lives, and Bai Ge’s sense of loneliness eased.

He challenged Flander to a contest over whose standards would govern her training, offering one million Gold Spirit Coins if he lost.

• Flander sent Oscar and Ning Rongrong to run twenty laps around the village as physical training, while Bai Ge followed them.
• By nightfall, Oscar had completed twenty laps, but Bai Ge admitted that he had told Ning Rongrong to run only ten.

Dai Mubai's careless remarks angered Zhu Zhuqing, while Bai Ge reflected on changing Ning Rongrong and Oscar's fate and gained the strength to reach level forty. At training, Oscar announced his breakthrough to level thirty, but Bai Ge challenged Flander's plan to make the class rely on Oscar's vulgar Soul Chant.
