• Xu Yuan faced the third-year team led by Li Qiankun, while both sides entered the match knowing only part of each other’s abilities.

• Yuan Hua unleashed his snow and wind Soul Skills, strengthening his allies and suppressing the opponents’ Soul Power across the arena.

• Xu Yuan’s Mecha demonstrated enough power to contend with a Soul Saint, shocking Cai Yue'er, the students, and Li Qiankun.

• A month later, Xu Shengqun arrived with a beautiful woman, introduced her as Xu Yuan’s aunt, and Xu Yuan greeted her.

Xu Yuan met his aunt Ye Yuan and explained his plan to split the Heaven Origin Brush and Heaven Origin Spear into separate Martial Souls. After receiving a thousand-year space-attribute Paper Soul Spirit from Xu Shengqun, he prepared to fuse with it, hoping it would strengthen the Heaven Origin Brush with new attributes.

After adapting to the Paper Soul Spirit and absorbing its remaining Soul Rings, Xu Yuan prepared for his Martial Soul split by attempting Spirit Forging to strengthen Jue’s foundation. He began forging Jade Silver with the Heaven and Earth Furnace Method, but the chapter ended before the result was revealed.

• Xu Shengqun and Ye Yuan returned to Xu Yuan’s dormitory and learned that Xu Yuan had built a Mecha using Spiritual Alloy and some God Alloy he had Fusion Forged himself.
• Xu Yuan told them his Fusion Forging success rate was about ninety percent above sixty percent fusion and fifty percent above ninety percent, while his success rate with God Alloy remained below ten percent.

• Xu Yuan spat blood as his Origin and Meditation Space shook, while Five Elements Power stabilized the Heaven Origin Brush and Bloodline Power repaired the Heaven Origin Five Elements Spear.

Xu Yuan stabilized his two Martial Souls after splitting them and used the Virtual-Real Dual Heaven and Earth Furnace Method to nurture their origins. The process improved both Martial Souls, though the Heaven Origin Brush’s First Soul Ring still needed a matching Soul Spirit to fully recover.
