After several disorganized assaults, the three began working together well enough to make him exert effort, and Wu Changkong's furrowed brows hinted that something had changed.

• Wu Changkong reflected that Tang Wulin’s claw had impressive power but drained him too quickly for him to control it.

After Tang Wulin revealed his Golden Dragon Claw, Qing Linyun reminded the team to improve their coordination and kept Tang Wulin behind after training. As Tang Wulin feared he had disappointed his teacher, Qing Linyun considered the seals suppressing the Golden Dragon King and finally asked him to raise his head.

• Qing Linyun warned Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie to coordinate as a team and stop fighting among themselves.

• Tang Wulin assumed Qing Linyun had kept him behind to criticize his weak performance and wondered whether the power he had felt was truly his.
• Qing Linyun considered whether the consciousness connected to the Golden Dragon King’s seals was dormant, then asked Tang Wulin to raise his head.

Qing Linyun asked Tang Wulin if he wanted to become stronger and promised to show him how a genius trained.

• Gu Yue recognized that Tang Wulin carried the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and wondered whether Qing Linyun knew about it or had his own intentions toward Tang Wulin.
• Gu Yue resolved to question Qing Linyun the next day, then fell asleep clutching her jade pendant.
• After Gu Yue fell asleep, a semi-illusory silver-haired girl appeared beside her and murmured, “Big brother...”

Qing Linyun browsed the system’s daily shop and bought a Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone and an Emotion Card, which let him trade Tang Wulin’s accumulated positive emotions for items. He planned to give Tang Wulin the Soul Bone to win his gratitude, then use the card to acquire valuable treasures, and set out to find him during class.

• Qing Linyun found a honey-glazed roast suckling pig and a potted hundred-year Blue Silver Grass among the daily shop’s offerings.
• Qing Linyun bought a Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone, intending to use it as a gift for Tang Wulin.

• Qing Linyun stored the card and prepared to get Tang Wulin away from Wu Changkong during class so he could give him the Soul Bone.

Qing Linyun came to Tang Wulin’s classroom and took him away, drawing attention from the class and suspicion from Gu Yue. As they left, Qing Linyun reassured Tang Wulin that he had not minded the teasing.

• Qing Linyun interrupted Wu Changkong’s lesson and asked to take Tang Wulin with him.
• The class teased Tang Wulin about Qing Linyun’s interest in him, while Gu Yue grew angry and wondered what Qing Linyun knew about Tang Wulin.
• Wu Changkong allowed Tang Wulin to leave with Qing Linyun and told him to return early.
• Tang Wulin hurried out of the classroom, embarrassed by Xie Xie’s teasing and the class’s attention.
• In the corridor, Qing Linyun told Tang Wulin not to overthink the teasing, easing Tang Wulin’s worries.

Qing Linyun encouraged Tang Wulin to believe in his potential and gave him a Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone. Tang Wulin accepted the gift, became Qing Linyun’s disciple, and promised not to disappoint him.

• Qing Linyun told Tang Wulin that his limits came from his lack of confidence, not his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
• Qing Linyun explained that Blue Silver Grass could evolve into a Blue Silver King and then a Blue Silver Emperor, and said he could help Tang Wulin reach the second stage.
• Qing Linyun gave Tang Wulin a Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone, and Tang Wulin reluctantly accepted it after Qing Linyun insisted.
• Tang Wulin knelt and asked Qing Linyun to take him as a disciple, and Qing Linyun agreed.
• Tang Wulin formally thanked Qing Linyun and promised not to let him down, while Qing Linyun wondered how his ties to Tang Wulin and the Silver Dragon King fit together.

Qing Linyun brought Tang Wulin to a quiet room so he could absorb the Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone in safety. As Tang Wulin’s absorption began smoothly and his Soul Power grew, Qing Linyun prepared to absorb a powerful dragon-bloodline External Soul Bone himself.

• Qing Linyun realized Tang Wulin had nowhere private to absorb the Soul Bone, so he went after him.
• Tang Wulin reflected on Qing Linyun’s generosity and promised himself he would repay his master by becoming stronger.
• Qing Linyun found Tang Wulin and took him back to the dormitory, offering to stand guard while he absorbed the Soul Bone.
• Tang Wulin settled into the bedroom and began absorbing the Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone.
• Qing Linyun prepared to absorb a four-hundred-thousand-year-old dragon-bloodline External Soul Bone outside the bedroom.
• The Soul Bone’s wood-attribute energy flowed into Tang Wulin, blending with his Soul Power and strengthening it.

Tang Wulin’s thousand-year Blue Silver King Soul Bone awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, raising him to level 16 and transforming his Martial Soul. Qing Linyun fused a 400,000-year Soul Bone, reached level 78, and planned to guide Tang Wulin toward a support-focused cultivation path.

• Tang Wulin broke through three levels during the Soul Bone’s influence, and golden markings appeared on his Blue Silver Grass as his bloodline began to manifest.
• Qing Linyun completed the fusion of the 400,000-year Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Right Palm Bone and gained the Soul Skills Rule the World and Purple Brilliant Dragon Flame.
• Qing Linyun’s Soul Power rose from the threshold of level 75 to level 78, leaving him one level away from Soul Douluo.
• Tang Wulin told Qing Linyun about his level increase and evolved Martial Soul, and Qing Linyun told him to consolidate his gains and prepare to change his combat and cultivation approaches.
• Tang Wulin left the dormitory determined not to disappoint his master, while Qing Linyun planned to guide him along a life-and-healing support route.

Qing Linyun’s private training and gifts greatly strengthened Tang Wulin, while his classmates noticed his new confidence. Gu Yue grew suspicious that Qing Linyun knew about Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King Bloodline and decided to probe him face-to-face.

• Qing Linyun returned Tang Wulin to Wu Changkong’s class after another private lesson, and the students noticed Tang Wulin’s changed bearing and stronger Soul Power.
• Tang Wulin kept quiet when Xie Xie asked what Qing Linyun had given him, remembering the Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone and Goldsong’s newly raised Soul Ring.
• Qing Linyun announced that the Class Promotion Tournament was two days away and said Tang Wulin would shine, drawing more attention and teasing from the class.
• Gu Yue watched Qing Linyun and Tang Wulin, suspected Qing Linyun might have discovered Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and resolved to sound him out in person.

Qing Linyun redeemed his full Emotion Card and obtained all eighteen Golden Dragon King Bloodline Seals, then broke the first ten and began absorbing their power. Tang Wulin and Na'er sensed the bloodline's sudden absence, while Qing Linyun finished the chapter with his body rapidly growing stronger.

• Qing Linyun redeemed the Emotion Card and received the full Golden Dragon King Bloodline, with all eighteen seals appearing inside him.
• Tang Wulin felt an unexplained emptiness in his chest during class, and Na'er sensed the Golden Dragon King's absence from Sea God Island.
• Qing Linyun decided to break the first ten seals and save the remaining eight for later.
• Qing Linyun shattered the first ten seals and used his spiritual power to subdue and absorb their violent energy.
• Qing Linyun's body underwent a powerful transformation, becoming stronger and harder.

Qing Linyun emerged from secluded cultivation with his Soul Power at the level 79 bottleneck, a Golden Dragon King Second Martial Soul, and the Golden Dragon Spear. Gu Yue asked him to go for a walk, while her growing attraction to him left her struggling to find a way to ask about Tang Wulin.

• Qing Linyun felt his body grow stronger from the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and found his Soul Power had reached the level 79 bottleneck.
