Chapter Summaries

Zhang Lexuan led the group to camp for the night in the Mixed Zone, where Ma Xiaotao's embarrassment and Ye Xixuan's guilty feelings created tension. After a meal sparked an argument, Ye Xixuan and Zhang Lexuan took the first watch, and three wolf-shaped Soul Beasts appeared nearby.

• Ma Xiaotao and Vina resumed meditating as Ye Xixuan and Zhang Lexuan stood watch, then three wolf-shaped Soul Beasts entered their perception.

Ye Xixuan and Ma Xiaotao fought three mutant Wolf Apes in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Ye Xixuan interrupted their Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill before it could trap Ma Xiaotao. After the Wolf Apes died, their three soul rings began fusing into one mutated ring.

• The Wolf Apes' three black soul rings fused after their deaths, prompting Zhang Lexuan, Vina, and Ma Xiaotao to recognize a soul ring mutation.

Ye Xixuan chose to absorb the mutated soul ring created by the three Wolf Apes’ Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, despite Zhang Lexuan’s concerns. The Wolf Apes’ three left leg soul bones fused into an evolving Three-Life Wolf Ape Left Leg Bone, which Ye Xixuan absorbed as the others stood guard.

• Ye Xixuan decided to absorb the powerful fused soul ring, while Ma Xiaotao supported him and Zhang Lexuan warned him of the risks.

• Ye Xixuan sensed that the new soul bone retained vitality and could evolve, and he began absorbing it before attempting the soul ring.
• The soul bone fused smoothly with Ye Xixuan, reaching the fifty-thousand-year level and strengthening his body.
• As Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao guarded Ye Xixuan, Ma Xiaotao admitted she might give him a chance, then tried to pass it off as a joke.

• Ye Xixuan found a Left Arm Soul Bone among the Soul Wolf corpses, and Zhang Lexuan suggested his martial soul might raise the chance of slain soul beasts dropping Soul Bones.

Ye Xixuan discovered that his martial soul might greatly increase the chances of soul beasts dropping soul bones, then drove off a ten-thousand-year Shadow Demon Wolf and helped Vina complete her fourth soul ring. After ten days searching the Star Dou Great Forest for Ma Xiaotao’s seventh soul ring, the group encountered a seventy-thousand-year Elder Crimson Qiu, which Ma Xiaotao chose as her target.

Ye Xixuan used the power absorbed from Zhang Lexuan’s Silver Moon Avatar to sever the Crimson Qiu’s horn, and Ma Xiaotao killed it and gained its seventy-thousand-year soul ring and a rare torso soul bone. As Ma Xiaotao began absorbing the ring, the group prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, while Vina reflected on Ye Xixuan’s growing appeal and their future family.

• Xuan Zi restrained the Crimson Qiu while Elder Song protected Ye Xixuan, and Ye Xixuan warned them that he could not hold the borrowed power much longer.
