In the valley of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao stood before the Light Screen projection, with the disciples behind him packed shoulder to shoulder. His gaze settled on the description of the Diamond Earth Splitting Art, and a spark of fervor flashed in his dark eyes. "Combining earth-attribute Soul Power with a Tool Martial Soul increases the power of heavy strikes by 75% and adds a knockback effect... If I cultivate this art and pair it with the Clear Sky Hammer's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, even a Titled Douluo would have to avoid its edge."
The Great Elder behind him stepped closer and said quietly, "Sect Master, this art really does suit you, but it costs one million Points... We're down to zero right now. We can barely afford the Nutrient Solution for growing Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—it costs 5,000 Points per bottle." The disciples also looked eager, but lowered their heads when they heard the price. They knew their sect's situation all too well. Scraping together enough Points for an Immortal Herb Seed had already been their limit; the cultivation art could only remain a distant dream.

The pale green natural Soul Power curling around her fingertips trembled faintly, and even the vines beside her throne swayed gently along with it.
