Chapter Summaries

Plot points and events

• Dugu Yan reveals that [Titan Power] lasts eight seconds but has a six-second cooldown, allowing near-continuous use. It greatly boosts her physical attacks, each dealing over 5,000 damage.
• Her Soul Bone skill, [Gravity Swamp], immobilizes a target and deals heavy damage: 20,000 on activation plus 8,000 per second for eight seconds. The group calculates that her two abilities together could inflict enormous damage.
• Eager to hunt more Soul Beasts, Qian Renxue flies out to draw one in. Gu Changge sends Mu Qingyu after her to make sure she stays safe.
• They return with a 50,000-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which the group traps and kills. Dugu Yan’s abilities prove powerful enough to help defeat it quickly.
• The tiger drops both a Spirit Ring and a Soul Bone. Gu Changge discovers the bone is a Right Leg Bone with the [Summoning] skill—an unexpectedly rare and potentially exceptional find. The chapter ends before its effect is revealed.

Character developments

• Dugu Yan gains confidence as the group recognizes the remarkable damage and control her new abilities provide.
• Qian Renxue shows both her impulsive enthusiasm for hunting and her ability to assess the tiger’s health and regeneration when challenged.
• Gu Changge remains wary of Qian Renxue’s recklessness but acknowledges her competence. He is also surprised by the frequent Soul Bone drops and delighted by the [Summoning] bone.
• Mu Qingyu acts protectively, readily following Qian Renxue to watch over her.

Significant themes

• Power and resourcefulness: Combining Soul Skills and Soul Bone Skills can produce overwhelming damage.
• Risk-taking balanced by teamwork: Qian Renxue’s bold hunt succeeds because Mu Qingyu accompanies her and the group works together.
• Luck and discovery: An unexpectedly generous Soul Bone drop yields a skill Gu Changge considers potentially “ceiling-tier.”

Character interactions

• Dugu Yan explains her abilities to the group, prompting their astonished calculations.
• Qian Renxue rushes ahead without waiting for Gu Changge’s approval; he responds by assigning Mu Qingyu to protect her.
• Pufferfish questions whether the group can defeat the tiger, and Qian Renxue calmly argues that they can.
• The group collaborates to trap and kill the beast, then Gu Changge identifies the valuable Soul Bone.

Gu Changge explained the power of the Summoning Soul Bone Skill and gave it to Ye Lingling to absorb, since she lacked offensive power. He then teased Qian Renxue about being jealous, leaving her flustered and fleeing to Mu Qingyu.

• Gu Changge explained that the Summoning Soul Bone Skill could repeatedly summon Dark Demon Evil God Tigers, potentially for combat or to obtain Spirit Rings and Soul Bones.
• Gu Changge declined to absorb the Soul Bone and handed it to Ye Lingling, suggesting the summoned tigers could serve as pets or bodyguards.
• Ye Lingling accepted the Soul Bone and went aside to absorb and equip it.
• Qian Renxue warned Gu Changge that openly favoring his two girlfriends could invite gossip if more people joined them.
• Gu Changge pulled Qian Renxue into his arms and teased her for being jealous and having feelings for him.
• Qian Renxue denied it, broke free, kicked Gu Changge in the shin, and fled to Mu Qingyu as everyone laughed.

Ye Lingling tested her new Summoning Right Leg Bone, which let her summon a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that obeyed her and could drop spirit rings and soul bones. The group turned to the fifty-thousand-year spirit ring, and Qian Renxue urged Dugu Yan to absorb it so she could become an even stronger attacker.

• Ye Lingling told Gu Changge and the others that her summoned Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could fight alongside her indefinitely as long as its health remained above zero.
• Ye Lingling explained that the tiger would drop rewards according to its age and would attack anyone who attacked it, while sparing her.
• Dugu Bo and the others asked Ye Lingling to summon a hundred-thousand-year tiger, but Gu Changge stopped her and pointed out the fifty-thousand-year spirit ring they had overlooked.
• Qian Renxue urged Dugu Yan to absorb the fifty-thousand-year ring, but Dugu Yan hesitated because she had already received a ring and soul bone from the Titan Giant Ape.
• Qian Renxue reassured Dugu Yan that absorbing the ring would strengthen the team's hardest hitter rather than give her an unfair advantage.
