Chapter Summaries

Bai Tang San intimidated Xiao Chenyu’s group with a poisoned leaf and recruited Xiao Wu to test a body-strengthening medicine in exchange for meals. As both Tang San versions reached a Soul Power bottleneck, Hei Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang’s advice to keep running while Bai Tang San began devising a new cultivation method.

• Bai Tang San frightened Xiao Chenyu’s group into fleeing, then offered Xiao Wu food in exchange for helping test his medicine, and she accepted.

As vacation began, both Tang Sans headed home with different expectations, while Bai Tang San prepared for his return to confront Tang Hao.

• Bai Tang San opened the Yongquan acupoint, purified and compressed his Soul Power, and later opened three acupoints while suppressing his rank.

• Hei Tang San left for Sacred Soul Village carrying a new Forging Hammer for Tang Hao, unaware that the blacksmith shop might be abandoned.
• Bai Tang San packed liquor, money, and belongings, then left Xiao Wu a carrot-planting and diet guide with instructions to monitor her condition.

Bai Tang San wrote an unsent challenge to Tang Hao, urging him to choose between drowning in drink and reclaiming his strength, and the words awakened Tang Hao’s pride. As the two Tang Sans reflected on filial piety, the Sky Curtain revealed Bai Tang San’s method for refining Whale Rubber into a body-tempering medicine, triggering a continent-wide buying frenzy that left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect scrambling too late.

• Bai Tang San wrote a private letter challenging Tang Hao to abandon his drunken despair and reclaim his former glory, then set out to confront him.
• Tang Hao watched the letter on the Sky Curtain, broke his wine jug, and declared that Bai Tang San was the son worthy of him.

• Dai Mubai discovered the local supply was gone and angrily blamed the Sky Curtain and Bai Tang San for revealing the rubber too late.

• As Tang San of the Black World struggled through laps and Bai Tang San profited from the shortage, Soul Masters faced a new problem: how to eat Whale Rubber.

Yu Xiaogang’s attempts to handle Whale Rubber ended in disaster in both worlds: his concoction nearly crippled Luo San Pao, while his staged demonstration killed three pigs and turned the academy against Bai Tang San. Bai Tang San was left facing a wave of fear and accusations.

• In the Black World, Yu Xiaogang mixed Whale Rubber with Cold Heart Grass and Clear Spirit Fruit, then fed the foul concoction to Luo San Pao.
• Luo San Pao suffered a violent reaction, collapsed unconscious, and showed signs of losing rank; Hei Tang San silently left and practiced with his Sleeve Arrow.

• The pigs died after their bodies convulsed and their blood vessels ruptured, terrifying the students.
• Yu Xiaogang accused Tang San of endangering lives, and the crowd turned against Bai Tang San.

Bai Tang San proposed using Ten Thousand Year Black Gold Whale Rubber to rebuild his body and asked Tang Hao to protect him during the dangerous process. He offered Hundred Herb Brew and the chance to heal Tang Hao’s injuries in exchange, leaving Tang Hao to consider the deal.

• Bai Tang San brought Ten Thousand Year Black Gold Whale Rubber to the Blacksmith Shop and explained that he intended to use it to reshape his marrow.

• Bai Tang San asked Tang Hao to trade one session of protection for the chance to return to his peak, and Tang Hao silently weighed the offer.

Tang Hao agreed to help Bai Tang San refine the Ten Thousand Year Black Gold Whale Rubber through brutal body-forging. As Bai Tang San endured the ordeal, Hei Tang San watched from the Black World and recoiled at the contrast between Bai Tang San’s bond with Tang Hao and his own distant relationship with his father.

• Tang Hao drank the Hundred Herb Brew and agreed to hammer Bai Tang San’s body into refined steel.
• Hei Tang San watched Bai Tang San and Tang Hao share an understanding, cut his finger while carving a smoking pipe, and questioned why his father treated him with only gentle affection.

• Tang Hao used Chaotic Cloak—Body Forging to hammer the medicinal power into Bai Tang San’s flesh and bones while Bai Tang San endured the pain without losing consciousness.
• After two hours, Bai Tang San’s Meridians had been rebuilt and his bones gained a metallic sheen as the Whale Rubber began refining his blood into Precious Blood.

After enduring a night of agony, Bai Tang San emerged with a radically strengthened body and planned to seek a two-thousand-year Second Soul Ring.

While the Sky Curtain showed how brutally Hei Tang San struggled against the same beast in the Black World, Bai Tang San lured it into a gorge and detonated hidden Thunder Fire Bombs, leaving the spider exposed to a coordinated lightning attack.

• Bai Tang San offered the mercenary captain double pay to surround the two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider while he handled the kill.

• Bai Tang San used gunpowder, lightning, and a poisoned dagger to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider in seconds.
• The mercenary captain marveled at Bai Tang San's tactics, and Bai Tang San called his methods biology and tactics.
• Zhao Wuji and Flender praised Bai Tang San's battlefield command, while Hei Tang San felt ashamed and Yu Xiaogang dismissed his methods as shortcuts.
• Bai Tang San summoned the Man Faced Demon Spider's purple Soul Ring and began absorbing its power.

He left the canyon with the demon spider’s remains, while his growing strength foreshadowed a new cultivation method that would shock Hei Tang San.

• Hei Tang San’s future footage showed him panicking as his spine mutated, while Bai Tang San recognized the pain as the emergence of an External Soul Bone.
• Bai Tang San guided the energy through his spine and grew eight Man Faced Demon Spider legs, which he controlled as weapons and used to climb and fly.
