• Wang Zhao used concealment techniques to leave the alley and headed toward Holy Spirit Village.
• Old Jack lined up eight children for the martial-soul awakening as Su Yuntao arrived, and Tang San watched him with a strange glint in his eyes.

Tang San began his second life in Douluo Continent and entered his Spirit Awakening ceremony, determined to find Xiao Wu. As his Blue Silver Grass Spirit emerged, Wang Zhao secretly altered the awakening, leaving Tang San unaware of what had caused the sudden chill and drained golden light.

• The Rakshasa God told Tang Hao that his third trial required him to kill ten thousand people, good or evil, within six years.
• Tang Hao accepted that he had to complete the trial, then asked the Rakshasa God what was wrong with Tang San.
• The Rakshasa God refused to explain Tang San’s situation and let Tang Hao leave the inheritance realm without answers.
• Tang Hao considered attacking Spirit Hall to fulfill the trial but abandoned the idea because he did not want to bring more trouble to the Clear Sky Sect.

Wang Zhao hid the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone’s theft from Tang Hao with a misleading note and poison pills, then decided to absorb the bone after Old Yi explained it could help form his planned Second Martial Soul.

• Golden and silver light formed a blade of grass in Wang Zhao’s left hand, revealing his new Martial Soul as Blue Silver Grass.

Wang Zhao awakened a gold-and-silver Blue Silver Grass-like Martial Soul and learned how his Space-Time Affinity would form Soul Rings and God Rings. He then received his second trial: reduce Tang San’s fortune by 5%.

• Wang Zhao recognized that his new Martial Soul resembled Blue Silver Grass and recalled Electrolux’s theory that he might awaken his parents’ Martial Souls.
• Wang Zhao realized the Martial Soul was Space-Time Blue Silver Grass, a form of his inherited Space-Time Martial Soul rather than a Blue Silver Emperor.
• A divine voice told Wang Zhao that every 10% of Space-Time Affinity would condense a colorless Space-Time Soul Ring, and that ten rings would merge into nine God Rings.
• Wang Zhao learned that the rings would grant no skills and that he would need to create his own Space-Time skills.
• Wang Zhao saw the requirements and rewards for his second trial: reduce Tang San’s fortune by 5% to gain 5% Space-Time Affinity and increase his original Martial Soul’s second Soul Ring age limit by 3,000 years.

After the elders discussed the sword’s possible inheritance and Chen Xin sensed its unusual nature, Ning Qingyun took control of Rongrong’s body and greeted the Wooden Sword as an old friend.

• Ning Rongrong showed Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo her Wooden Sword Martial Soul, confirming that she had Twin Martial Souls.
• Ning Fengzhi wondered where the Wooden Sword came from, and Bone Douluo suggested it might have skipped a generation from Ning Fengzhi’s mother’s sword Martial Soul.

• Ning Fengzhi sent Ning Rongrong back to her room, saying they would discuss cultivation another day.
