Chapter Summaries

Qian Ningshuang rewarded Yang Liang for defending Rongping City against Tang Hao, helping him and his wolf companion grow stronger. She left him with Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, which Yang Liang had turned into soup, while Tang San raged in his tent and yearned for power and revenge.

• Qian Ningshuang gave Yang Liang the Nine Nether Orchid, Moon-Slaying Ginseng, and Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, explaining how to use the first two.

• Tang San, unaware of Ah Yin’s fate, desperately craved the power to take revenge on Camelot, the Paladins, and Bianka.

Tang San considered sacrificing Yu Xiaogang to gain power for revenge against Camelot, but hesitated over the risks and kept him alive as a useful ally. He persuaded Yu Xiaogang to seek revenge by turning powerful factions against each other.

• Tang San identified Yu Xiaogang as a possible sacrifice because his fused Martial Soul contained a trace of Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline, but worried that killing him would expose Tang San to Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall.
• Yu Xiaogang woke from his despair, and Tang San gave him water and urged him not to give up.
• Tang San reminded Yu Xiaogang that Camelot had ruined them both and asked whether he wanted revenge.

Qian Ningshuang and Camelot tried to attack the Sea God's divine consciousness inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with a torrent of thoughts. Their strike reached Poseidon in the God Realm, where it caused a catastrophic reaction and unexpectedly changed Tang San's Martial Soul.

• Qian Ningshuang, Qian Chongling, Qian Renxue, Gu Yuena, Rita, Di Tian, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King debated how to deal with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and Poseidon's divine consciousness.
• Rita suggested using ideological currents, and Qian Ningshuang agreed to test the idea with help from Xiao You and the Soul Net.

• As Poseidon lost control, Tang San's Martial Soul was replaced ahead of schedule and developed a small problem.

Tang San continued hunting Spirit Beasts to restore his strength, but a sudden soul pain transformed his hands into venomous tentacles. He discovered that the tentacles had replaced his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, while his Clear Sky Hammer remained intact.

• Tang San killed his forty-first Spirit Beast and raised his level back to twenty-seven as his changed Blue Silver Grass regained strength.
• Tang San decided to leave the Soul Hunting Forest and avoid the dangerous Star Dou Great Forest, where powerful Spirit Beasts had gathered amid the rise of Paladins.
• Tang San collapsed from agonizing soul pain and woke to find that both his hands had become tentacles covered in scales, suckers, teeth, and poisonous protrusions.
• Tang San found that the tentacles were his new Martial Soul and used them to wrap around and poison a tree, reducing it to rotten wood.
• Tang San confirmed that his Clear Sky Hammer remained and decided his new hands could help him use venom and throw Hidden Weapons more easily.

Tang San embraced his new Asura God Hand Martial Soul and planned to strengthen it through absorbing Spirit Beasts, while the gods investigated Poseidon's death and the cause of his transformation. Qian Ningshuang learned that Poseidon's madness had spread through the sea, so she arrived with Camelot's Paladins to deal with the mutated creatures.

• Qian Ningshuang arrived at the sea with Camelot's Paladins to handle the mutated creatures, and she named them Sea-born.

Angela, a transmigrator at Nuoding Academy, decided Camelot was a better choice than Spirit Hall while dealing with Xiao Wu and the academy’s gossip. That evening, she spotted a masked, black-robed figure beside someone who looked like Grandmaster and wondered whether the figure was Tang San returned from Camelot.

• Angela stayed at Nuoding Academy rather than risk leading Tang Hao to Holy Soul Village, and waited for Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to return from Camelot.
