He revealed that his sacrifice had granted her a second martial soul that would take shape when she attached its first soul ring.

• Qian Renxue and the Myriad Plant King wondered why Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s sacrifice had not given her a soul bone or increased her Soul Power.

• Qian Renxue welcomed the second martial soul, seeing it as a greater gain than a soul bone and a way to pursue the Sea God’s trials alongside the Angel God’s.
