Chapter Summary: “Each New Soul Skill”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After resolving their food dispute, Ji Siyuan, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong’er settle into regular cafeteria meals, occasional lavish cooking, and consistent training.
• Their Ultimate Soldier Project training emphasizes combat instincts, Soul Skill mastery, battlefield analysis, risk prediction, precise movement, and teamwork. They practice turning theoretical strategies into instinctive reactions.
• Huo Yuhao receives special attention from the Soul Tool Department. Three Level Eight Soul Engineers, along with Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin’er, and Fan Yu, design an intensive program intended to help her eventually become a Level Nine Soul Engineer.
• Huo Yuhao makes rapid progress with Soul Tools, learning to operate third-grade Fixed-Ammunition Soul Tools and complete some third-grade core formation arrays. Her teachers conclude that she must eventually create a unique crafting method and develop a signature Soul Tool of her own.
• Wang Dong’er becomes anxious because Ji Siyuan and Huo Yuhao are continually developing new abilities while she feels her own arsenal is limited. She begins studying the Clear Sky Sect’s Self-Created Soul Skills, particularly the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, but finds its slow power accumulation impractical in battle.
• Ji Siyuan consults Tang San, who advises Wang Dong’er to change how she releases her existing Soul Skills rather than merely learning more techniques.
• Inspired by Ji Siyuan’s example and Bei Bei’s modified Thunder Dragon Claw, Wang Dong’er develops two new techniques:
  • Butterfly God Consecutive Slash, which releases up to 108 slashes with increasing speed rather than accumulating power.
  • A faster, directly released version of Butterfly God Slash, using Wing Guillotine to launch the slashes.
• During a spar, Ji Siyuan discovers that once the first few attacks of Butterfly God Consecutive Slash are not stopped, the later slashes become extremely difficult to evade or interrupt. He realizes that his newly developed control and movement skills are essential for surviving against it.

Character Developments

• Huo Yuhao: Advances quickly in Soul Tool techniques under elite instruction. Her teachers push her toward developing an original crafting style and personal signature Soul Tool rather than simply imitating existing methods.
• Wang Dong’er: Initially feels inferior and frustrated because she has fewer powerful techniques than her companions. Through independent experimentation, she transforms this insecurity into creativity and develops a highly dangerous new offensive technique.
• Ji Siyuan: Continues refining his own techniques, especially Nether Flame Ice and Teng Snake Flash. He also acts as Wang Dong’er’s sounding board and recognizes how important adaptability and evasive skills are in combat.
• Tang San: Provides the key conceptual advice that allows Wang Dong’er to improve her Soul Skills, although his misunderstanding of her idea leads to a humorous exchange.
• The trio: Their training increasingly focuses not only on raw strength but also on innovation, control, cooperation, and converting techniques into instinctive combat responses.

Significant Themes

• Innovation over imitation: True mastery requires creating techniques and methods suited to one’s own abilities rather than relying solely on inherited or conventional skills.
• Combat instinct and adaptability: Strength depends on judgment, timing, control, and the ability to modify techniques under battlefield pressure—not merely Soul Power.
• Personal growth through insecurity: Wang Dong’er’s anxiety initially makes her feel inadequate, but it ultimately motivates her to develop a technique uniquely suited to her strengths.
• Mentorship and collaboration: Huo Yuhao benefits from several expert teachers, while Wang Dong’er draws on guidance from Ji Siyuan and Tang San. Progress comes from combining instruction with individual experimentation.
• The value of interest and individuality: The teachers believe Huo Yuhao can only reach the highest level if she genuinely enjoys Soul Tool creation and discovers a path that belongs uniquely to her.

• Ji Siyuan relays Tang San’s advice that she should alter the way she releases her Soul Skills.

• Ji Siyuan jokingly blames Tang San for underestimating Wang Dong’er and threatens to report him to Xiao Wu.
