Chapter Summaries

Su Mu defeated the Burial Corpse King in the hard dungeon and returned at level thirteen, earning the crowd’s respect. Unable to challenge the hell difficulty because he was below level fifteen, he rested and used Soul Power to create White Tiger Ridge as a buffer for Flower-Fruit Mountain, planning to summon the White Bone Spirit after midnight.

• Su Mu collected the Burial Corpse King Card and the hard dungeon’s materials, then worried that Flower-Fruit Mountain’s exposed core card could be destroyed in a more difficult dungeon.
• Su Mu exited the dungeon at level thirteen, and the onlookers admired his progress through the hard dungeon.
• Su Mu tried to enter the hell-difficulty challenge but was blocked by the level fifteen requirement.
• Su Mu rested and entered the Dungeon Space, where he spent ten Soul Power to create White Tiger Ridge beside Flower-Fruit Mountain and Lion Camel Ridge.
• Su Mu planned to restore his Soul Power after midnight and attempt to bring the White Bone Spirit into being.

Su Mu recovered his Soul Power in one minute, embedded the Corpse King Card, and named its mountain White Tiger Ridge and its demon Corpse Demon White Bone Spirit. The name raised her to D-rank, but her low affinity with the White Bone Spirit concept restricted her growth, so Su Mu began reshaping her skeletal form.

• Su Mu meditated and restored his Soul Power to its 210-point maximum in one minute.
• Su Mu embedded the Corpse King Card on a new mountain in his Dungeon Space, spending 30 Soul Power.

• Su Mu recalled the White Bone Spirit's three transformations and began compressing the giant's bones into a more humanoid form.

Su Mu reshaped the Corpse Demon White Bone Spirit and used the Thousand-Faced Skin to give her a human form resembling Lady White Bone. Her compatibility rose to a high degree and her rank increased to SS, leaving her ready to grow further.

• Su Mu spent a hundred Soul Power to refine White Bone Spirit’s bones and soul flames into a more elegant, moonlit skeletal form.
• Su Mu checked White Bone Spirit’s panel and found her at S-rank with moderate compatibility with the concept of White Bone Spirit.
• Su Mu equipped the Thousand-Faced Skin and entered the appearance of a beautiful mountain village maiden.
• White Bone Spirit switched to human form, and her compatibility rose to a high degree as her rank increased to SS.

Su Mu discovered that adding bones to Lion Camel Ridge gave Little Drill Wind a 20% terrain boost, while bones on White Tiger Ridge did nothing for White Bone Spirit. He planned to enter the nightmare dungeon to gain resources and improve Years Like a Blade, bringing him closer to turning the Stone Left Over from Mending Heaven into a Stone Monkey.

• Su Mu tried decorating White Tiger Ridge with bones to improve White Bone Spirit, but her attributes did not change.
• Su Mu realized White Bone Spirit's true form was a specific set of remains, removed the bones, and fixed them to Lion Camel Ridge instead.

• Su Mu considered adding more elements from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood to strengthen Little Drill Wind further.

• White Bone Spirit rose from level one to level four over four waves, then reached level seven after the fourth wave was cleared.
• White Bone Spirit's Soul Flames helped Little Drill Wind clear the fifth through eighth waves faster, and she reached level eight after the eighth wave.

Su Mu used White Bone Spirit to hold off the skeletons attacking Flower-Fruit Mountain while Little Drill Wind fought the Burial Corpse King. The battle continued as Little Drill Wind evaded the Corpse King's attacks and searched for an opening.
