    • Thank you bagel sama, I was concerned because the email didn’t contain the chapter number and title so I thought you were posting catastrophic news😅

    • Ohh, I’m the tiniest bit sad at the end, I just really love the appreciation and shock people get from hearing those facts such as Tang San’ age. So I wish it showed us like a bit of her point of view as she heard his age and walked away to add to being amazed by his spirit rings. Still, thank you for your translations!

  1. Although i have only posted now, but bagelson, i have been following your work for the past year.

    And i would like to tell you that you have been doing a great work providing readers all around the world without accepting donations for chapter.

    Cheers! Really appreciate your work.

    • bagelson is a very respectable senior. Pretty sure even me who never donated anywhere would donate quite a sum just to see more chapters.

      That being said thank you very much for all the effort you are putting in for us.

      • That would put him more pressure and he said he dont want that.

        However… a Patreon that would reward him when he put a chapter online would be nice. No pressure then, he only get the money when a new chapter get online. Its a nice little bonus, rather then a salary. 🙂

          • I commend Bagleson for his work translating, 3 cheers and all. I respect his reason for not accepting donations, (something along the lines of he wants to translate this novel at his own pace free of pressure). Or at least that is my understanding/interpretation of Bagelson’s motivations. If he opened up donations, i would donate, but I don’t think expressing that is a good thing. I feel comments along these lines, unintentionally can be seen as pressure to allow donations. (Just an opinion)

            Nothing but love & respect for the work you do Bagelson ^_^

        • There will probably be a time skip at some point since Tang San needs to reach the leavel of Title Duolo before resurecting her but I dont think that it will be in this arc so maybe this is just about how after establishing the Tang Sect he will travel to find the plant that he needs in order to ressurect her..

    So i like to imagine the stuff i read like on a tv…. and at one point of this chapter i burst out laughing because mid intesive fight there’s a spelling mistake were insteed of ”dodge” there’s ”doge” so it was something like ”Tang San already had dogeing” (I forgot to mark it and since i’m kinnda in a hurry i don’t have time to research the sentence)…. it was such a perfect point for me that i just imagined Tang San with a doges face…. can we keep that one o mighty Bagelson? Pretty please? :3

  7. Thanks for the chapter!!
    I’m kinda lost of opinion how to react Tang San’s sixth spirit ability “Xiao Wu” (nothingness) or at least that ‘Xiao Wu incarnates’ while it is used.

    “Of course, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing weren’t just women in his eyes, but also brothers.”
    – shouldn’t that be ‘sisters’ ?

    Like

    • I think the brothers thing is not an error, it should mean something like he think of them exactly like with tang san nd the others, to the point he don’ see them like girls at all…. something like that…

  8. soooooo the volume is called “xiao wu’s resurrection”, each volume has on average 7 chapters. does this means xiao wu is coming back in the next 6 or so chapters??? can’t wait for it. plz don’t be a metaphorical resurection

    • or is it that he’ll get the ingredients he needs and will have to cultivate still? I wish the end of the volume it’s at least a time skip to when he’s about to go to the forest resurrect her, it’s just to sad right now, they can’t talk or touch each other 😦

  9. I’m really curious as to what the other forms of his sixth spirit ability are. It sounds like there could be three or maybe even more. Kinda bugs me though, how much this one seems to overlap with his spirit bone ability. Both give immunity to damage.

  14. Thanks for the chapter! I love this novel! It doesn’t have those morally retarded shooting target as the antagonist.

    I’m rather curious of 7th spirit ring. It’s the spirit avatar, and considering Bai He’s spirit avatar transform him into his spirit, there shouldn’t be any difference no matter what spirit ring he fused with (they would all let him transform into a needle tailed swallow).

    Also, Tang San’s 5th spirit ring. It evolves following Tang San’s growth so by the time he reach 80th rank, he should posses 2 red spirit rings?

    • Now that you’ve mentioned it, to think a 10 year old spirit beast can grant you the spirit avatar ability is somehow absurd. Well yeah no spirit masters would do this. But still…

      Like

      • Yes, for beast spirits 7th is always avatar regardless of ring age. But, I think tool spirits are different… Tang Hoa avatar was his 9th ability? Either way I don’t think the spirit avatar works the same way for tool spirits. Maybe he manifests the spirit as a weapon? So maybe a whip or use it as throwing weapons?

  23. Hey Guys,

    While you wait for the inscrutable Bagelson to come out with the next awesome chapter, check out Against the Gods on wuxia world. They translate/release around 10-14 chapters a week for that novel and its awesome.

    Also Bagelson, thanks for being awesome and translating this story. I know a lot of comments have been asking for you to speed up translations, but don’t listen to them. Enjoy your holidays and the christmas/ new years break.

  24. sorry if im rude but i really dont know the situation.. if im not mistaken the original story is already finished/ so why are the translation only in the manga’s point of the story?

    Like

    • I don’t know what you mean by the manga’s point of story but a lot of us here already dropped the manga as it was a lot different from the original story. And as for your question as to why the english translation isn’t finished yet even though the story is already completed, its because it’s a lot harder to translate a novel and it depends on how busy the translator is in real life. Bagelson doesn’t profit out of this translation so let us just be grateful that there’s someone who is willing to take their time to give us a free quality translation. Oh, and I think Bagelson is not connected to the manhua. Lol.

      • Eclipse, Bagleson is a busy man who is currently studying hard to complete the finals in university. You have two choice: accept Bibi Dong’s answer or probably no answer. Right now, you are interrupting Bagleson if you demand the answer which is not respectful. In addition, this is the community where all of the readers can comment and discuss with each other. So, please be grateful that you get some answers from others than no answers at all. If you are looking to ask Bagleson in privacy, find his email address amid comments so far and have a private conservation yourself. Again, this is a public community where all of the readers can communicate with each other. Posting selfish comments such as this is partially intolerable and offensive to other readers like myself.

        By the way, I have rarely seen immediate answers from Bagleson himself. Furthermore, Bagleson has sworn to translate in the minimum of one chapter per week so please be patience with him.

        • I honestly wasn’t expecting an answer, I’m glad to hear that he will be translating once a week regardless . Thankyou for the context.

  27. I know this is free and I am extremely grateful for that. I just want to know the average of releases of new chapters per month. I know the guy translating this is doing it as a hobby but he still should have an average of releases.

    I know he can change the amount of chapters he releases, and even stop translating if he wants, so I am in no way critiquing his translating speed or quality.

    • Its averaging 1 chapter a week. Which is pretty standard for serialized releases of anything. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but as I’ve heard he’s finishing Uni still, finals are around this time and is likely bit busier IRL at the moment.

      • Thanks, sir. One chapter per week is pretty good. Still, is he the only one translating? I remember seeing more translators in earlier chapters. I have one question as well, I want to get an email when a new chapter is released, is making a WordPress account and following enough or I have to do more?

  28. Does the volume title mean xiao wu will be resurrected so soon? That’s great news (even if I don’t care that much about their love story, I’m more interested in him getting more OP as time goes): he’s not titled doluo yet and still needs to find those ingredients. This could mean he may find another way to resurrect her, one that will allow him to keep his cultivation n stuff; it may have something to do with the medicine clan or something.
