Qi Ling then identified that her Angel God Armor remained incomplete despite her having collected all six Soul Bones.

• Xiao Wu accepted the cost and said she wanted to tell Da Ming and Er Ming herself.

Qi Ling explained how to find the Transformation Herb needed to improve the chances of resurrecting Xiao Wu’s mother, and the group searched for it in the Star Dou Great Forest. Qian Renxue caught the elusive herb, strengthening the resurrection plan, while Da Ming and Er Ming accepted her as a friend.

• Hu Liena told Qi Ling that she and Tang San had been captured, and Qi Ling set out alone to find Tang San.

• A Guduo’s group surrounded Qi Ling when he arrived and refused his demand to release Tang San.
• A Guduo sent two Super Douluos to attack Qi Ling, and both unleashed their Ninth Soul Skills.

Qi Ling effortlessly defeated two Super Douluos and agreed to let A Guduo’s remaining fighters attack without resisting. Using Steal the Stars and Swap the Moon, he redirected their attacks until five Titled Douluos killed one another, leaving A Guduo threatening Tang San’s life.

• A Guduo realized Qi Ling had caused the deaths and placed his hand on Tang San’s neck, warning Qi Ling not to move.

Qi Ling used his Eighth Soul Skill to swap places with Tang San and free him from A Guduo’s hostage-taking. He then challenged A Guduo, whose retreating defense left Qi Ling pursuing him with repeated punches.

• A Guduo abandoned the clash and retreated as Qi Ling chased him, punching repeatedly while Tang San and the others watched.

• A Guduo begged Qi Ling to spare his life, but Qi Ling condemned him for threatening the people around him and pressed the Devil-Trapping Stone against his chest.

Qi Ling defeated A Guduo and learned that an overwhelmingly powerful enemy had bypassed him to attack Xiao Wu and the others in the Star Dou Great Forest. He rushed to help Qian Renxue, Da Ming, and Er Ming, who were battling Cao Yang, a level 99 expert seeking their Soul Rings and intending to eliminate Qi Ling.

• Qian Renxue prepared to defend herself, but Cao Yang vanished before reaching her, and Er Ming was suddenly struck and sent flying.

• Qi Ling told Cao Yang that A Guduo was alive but worse off than dead, and Cao Yang dismissed A Guduo as useless.

• As Xue Qinghe tried to flee, Qi Ling nocked the Xuanyuan Sword on the Hou Yi Bow and aimed it at him.

Qi Ling drove Xue Qinghe away with the Xuanyuan Sword, then helped treat Da Ming and Er Ming while Qian Renxue grappled with her feelings about her father and her angel godhood.

Meanwhile, Qi Ling continued searching the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for Tang San, who had reached level 90.
