The next day, changkong wakes up to find that his soul power is increasing. He feels like he's been behind wu for the entire night, and he can't remember anything from the previous day. He's surprised that jinguang's body is covered in golden scales, and that the whole body looks like it's covered in scales. . The yellow ring on his forehead is the result of his soul's evolution into a hundred year level. This is a huge, huge joy for him. He says that when he learned about his soul being defective, he fell into despair, and the forest felt like a giant ancient forest. Now, he says, he can understand how they were able to kill the thousand year crystal bear. He also says that he can absorb the energy of plants and use it to fight against soul beasts. He wants to know how they found each other, and how they got into the forest, and why they were so close to each other. He tells wangi jinx that they were lucky to have killed a thousand year bear this time, because if they hadn't, he would have been transformed into a crystal. The meeting is over.
