Chapter Summaries

Shi Quan brought Zhu Zhuqing and Gu Yue Na to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Gu Yue Na crippled the sixty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Zhu Zhuqing killed it to obtain her Sixth Spirit Ring.

• Shi Quan and Gu Yue Na’s refined method enabled a hundred Spirit Masters to succeed, though some failed fusions caused backlash and required recovery.
