Ah Yin learned of the theory and felt betrayed, while Tang Hao’s reaction to Tang San’s two awakened Martial Souls was presented as evidence that the Clear Sky Hammer finally dispelled his suspicion.

• Lin Yuan compared Dai Mubai’s rapid cultivation with Tang Hao’s and reasoned that Tang Hao had secretly trained through his grief and hardship.
