Chapter Summaries

Tang Wuyang’s Golden Scales reappeared after Xie Xie cut him with the Light Dragon Dagger, giving him tremendous strength but rapidly draining his energy. Wu Changkong tested the power and found it was neither a known Martial Soul Fusion Skill nor clearly part of Tang Wuyang’s Qilin Martial Soul; Gu Yue finally recognized its nature as dragon-related.

• Tang Wuyang’s Golden Scales appeared during his fight with Guang Long, letting him break Guang Long’s arm before the power faded and left him nearly drained.
• Tang Wuyang and his companions realized that the Light Dragon Dagger had triggered the Golden Scales both times, and Xie Xie suggested a dormant Second Martial Soul or a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Gu Yue led Tang Wuyang, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie to Wu Changkong’s room, where Xie Xie’s Light Dragon Dagger triggered the Golden Scales again and Tang Wulin’s Holy Dragon Spear appeared in response.
• Wu Changkong tested the Golden Scales and concluded that they were unrelated to Tang Wuyang’s Soul Power, were not a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and greatly amplified his physical strength while consuming his energy.

• Gu Yue identified the Golden Scales as belonging to a dragon, and Wu Changkong agreed.

Tang Wuyang and his classmates faced Grade One Class Three in the Promotion Tournament’s second match, where their opponents’ flying Martial Souls initially seemed to give them an advantage. Tang Wuyang and Gu Yue used Ice Cones to force the flyers down, allowing Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to eliminate all four opponents.
