Wu Zhangkong explained Tang Wulin’s changes as a possible Martial Soul mutation and warned him to seek help if it became dangerous. He also investigated Xu Mengqing’s rapid growth, then offered both students a chance to learn his footwork by joining the Tang Sect and passing its assessment.

• Wu Zhangkong told Tang Wulin that his changes resembled a hidden Martial Soul awakening or a mutation merging with his existing Martial Soul, and offered to protect him during future episodes.
