After a fierce and prolonged struggle, Xiao Yi finally killed the Falling Star Vine's spiritual entity with her unwavering will and that final divine strike.
She successfully weathered the most difficult stage, soul ring tempering, during which her soul had shaken violently, and entered the third stage of absorbing a Soul Ring-ring transformation.
