• Yu Xiaogang survived the poison but lost his manhood, and Tang Hao appeared to give him a Spirit Hall Elder Token and ask him to guide Tang San.
• Tang Hao reasoned that Yu Xiaogang could help Tang San resolve the conflict between his Twin Martial Souls, possibly with Bibi Dong’s help.

After defeating Tang San, Su Ming received the Soul Power Body Refining Technique as his daily diary reward and realized his earlier Soul Power training had prepared him to use it.

• Su Ming’s diary brought up Xiao Wu as an example of a Soul Beast without hostility toward its Soul Master, and Xiao Wu cried out that she was being mentioned again.

The chapter left them increasingly convinced that the sacrifices of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Tang family were no coincidence.

• Tang San read that Tang Hao was safe but had to leave to handle urgent matters, and he began to suspect his father was not ordinary.

• Old Jack comforted Tang San, who said he could support himself with a Spirit Hall subsidy and rely on Su Ming and Xiao Wu as companions.

• Su Ming and Xiao Wu reached the back mountain, where Su Ming used his Wood Element to gather information from the surrounding plants and trees.

Tang Hao found the original hiding place apparently undisturbed and mistook a disguised Blue Silver Grass for Ah Yin, leaving the deception undiscovered.
