On the day of the village’s Martial Soul Awakening, Su Mu used his system to intercept Tang San’s awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer, trading them for points. The system unlocked its Interception Shop and offered Su Mu a choice of refunds.

• Powerful beings in the Worship Hall, Slaughter City, and Divine Realm turned their attention toward Holy Soul Village, while Su Yuntao’s Lone Wolf Martial Soul fell out of his control in fear.

Su Mu drank the Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and survived its trial when his Three-Headed Flood Dragon devoured the Deep Sea Demon Whale’s spiritual body, leaving him physically strengthened. At daybreak, he intercepted Tang San’s cultivation before setting out for Nuoding City, while a scream sounded at Tang San’s home.

• Su Mu left Holy Soul Village for Nuoding City, and a shrill scream rang out at Tang San’s home.

Su Mu was pursued through Nuoding City by a powerful man who mistook his Martial Soul’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast presence for proof that he was a transformed Soul Beast. Under the man’s pressure, Su Mu absorbed the remaining energy of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, evolved his Three-Headed Flood Dragon, and launched a sudden attack.

• A powerful man confronted Su Mu in an alley, restrained him with Soul Power, and accused him of being a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• Su Mu’s Three-Headed Flood Dragon Martial Soul appeared, and the man’s pressure forced the remaining Whale Glue energy in Su Mu’s body to seep into his bones and muscles.
• As Su Mu absorbed the energy, the two outer heads of his Three-Headed Flood Dragon grew dragon horns, while the Soul Beast presence on him faded away.
• When the man crouched nearby to examine him, Su Mu sprang up and attacked with his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, landing a series of increasingly powerful strikes.

Meanwhile, Su Mu intercepted Yu Xiaogang’s theory and the Soul Tool Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night, then faced a choice of what to return in its place.

• A gatekeeper mocked Tang San’s Blue Silver Hammer Martial Soul, and Yu Xiaogang arrived before Tang San could retaliate.
• Su Mu intercepted Yu Xiaogang’s Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, exchanged it for points, and chose to receive the Trash Martial Soul, Soul Master Self-Strengthening Theory.

• Tang San accepted Yu Xiaogang as his master, and Yu Xiaogang went to retrieve the Soul Tool Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night for him.
• Su Mu intercepted the Soul Tool for personal use and declined to enhance it, then received a choice of discounted returns.

Su Mu chose a discounted White Jade Flute, which Yu Xiaogang gave to Tang San as a supposed tool for learning flute and attracting women. At Spirit Hall in Nuoding City, Su Mu revealed his level-twenty Innate Soul Power to Golden Crocodile Douluo, who left him in the city with a Worship token while planning to return and help him hunt for a Soul Ring.

• Tang San ate the rabbit eagerly while Xiao Wu approached and watched from behind him.
• Tang San pointed out the rabbit’s breast meat and ate several pieces, unaware that Xiao Wu was standing behind him.
• Xiao Wu angrily asked whether the bunny was tasty, then wrapped her braid around Tang San and leaped behind him.

Xiao Wu attacked Tang San, and Su Mu caught him before he hit the ground, though Tang San still struck his head and passed out. Su Mu then restrained Xiao Wu until she cried, and the chapter ended as Yu Xiaogang raised his hand to slap her.

After Tang San’s Martial Souls and cultivation appeared to change, Su Mu intercepted his Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Heaven Skill cultivation for increased rewards. Golden Crocodile Douluo returned to Nuoding City and began discussing welcoming gifts, leaving Su Mu massaging his shoulders with mounting resentment.

• Su Mu felt someone following him to the Spirit Hall, while a hooded middle-aged man watched from a tavern nearby.
• Tang San woke at midnight, summoned his changed Martial Souls, and regarded Yu Xiaogang with a brief flash of nostalgia before turning resentful.

• Su Mu began massaging Golden Crocodile Douluo while asking about the gifts, but pressed harder and harder until Golden Crocodile turned to face his resentful gaze.

Su Mu teased Golden Crocodile Douluo with a knuckle flick, but Golden Crocodile Douluo caught him and rapped him back before giving him a hundred-thousand-year left leg bone. Su Mu accepted the precious gift and resolved to treat his master better and look for a way to help him improve.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo told Su Mu that his martial uncles would give him their greeting gifts in person, prompting Su Mu to ask whether he knew what a knuckle flick was.
• Su Mu jumped up and struck Golden Crocodile Douluo on the head, then retreated to the Spirit Hall entrance.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo caught Su Mu when he approached to take the lead box and rapped him twice on the head in retaliation.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo gave Su Mu the lead box, and Su Mu discovered it contained a hundred-thousand-year left leg bone.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo warned that lingering spiritual power from the Soul Beast could make the Soul Bone difficult to absorb, while Su Mu wondered how he could help his master improve.

Su Mu secretly absorbed the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard Left Leg Bone despite Golden Crocodile Douluo's warning, then confronted the leopard's lingering spiritual presence. The Three-Headed Flood Dragon protected Su Mu from the leopard's shifting forms, but the fight continued in the dark spiritual world.

• Su Mu learned that the hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone came from a Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard and heard Golden Crocodile Douluo warn that absorbing it could kill him.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo told Su Mu he would take him to hunt a Soul Beast the next day, and Su Mu returned to his room with the Soul Bone.
• After confirming the guards had left, Su Mu absorbed the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard Left Leg Bone and felt its power merge with his leg.
• Su Mu entered a dark spiritual world, where the Three-Headed Flood Dragon blocked attacks from a leopard that changed between blood-striped and silver-striped forms.
• The Three-Headed Flood Dragon knocked the leopard away and shielded Su Mu, while the leopard vanished into the darkness again.

Su Mu defeated the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard in his mental space and absorbed its Soul Bone, gaining the Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow skill. Golden Crocodile Douluo rushed in to stop what he thought was a fatal absorption, but Su Mu survived and used his new ability to evade him.

• The two black panthers merged into the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard, which attacked Su Mu before the Three-Headed Flood Dragon drove it back.

• In Su Mu’s mental space, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon devoured the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard’s spiritual power as black scales spread across Su Mu’s body.
• Su Mu used Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow to escape the dagger, then angrily confronted Golden Crocodile Douluo.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo tried to grab Su Mu, but Su Mu dodged again, leaving Golden Crocodile Douluo holding a chair.

Su Mu used his Soul Bone abilities and Eighteen Stops to make Golden Crocodile Douluo move, then explained the two skills he gained from the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard. Golden Crocodile Douluo realized how the skills changed Su Mu’s Martial Soul forms, and began to suspect that the remaining dragon heads and blade points had more uses.

• Su Mu tricked Golden Crocodile Douluo with Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow, then attacked him with the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade.
• Su Mu built up the Eighteen Stops and used his black dragon transformation for the tenth strike, briefly lifting Golden Crocodile Douluo off the ground and claiming victory.
• Su Mu explained that Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow let him swap places with an object within range.
• Su Mu demonstrated Netherworld Clone, showing that his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade form could turn a blade point into scales, while his Three-Headed Flood Dragon form could turn a head into a weapon.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo inferred that the Soul Skill traded defense for attack between the forms, then asked whether the other two heads and blade points had similar uses.

After recovering from using Tenth Stop, Su Mu asked Golden Crocodile Douluo for a Soul Ring with penetration and defense abilities and persuaded him to test his physical strength. The test showed Su Mu could withstand pressure near a level 50 Soul King’s physique, and Golden Crocodile Douluo planned to take him to the Star Dou Great Forest the next day to seek a suitable Soul Beast.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo arranged for a healing-type Soul Master to treat Su Mu’s injured arms while Su Mu slept.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo tested Su Mu’s physique, raising the pressure until Su Mu released his Three-Headed Black Dragon Martial Soul and endured level 49 Battle Soul Ancestor pressure.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo stopped the test and said he would take Su Mu to the Star Dou Great Forest the next day to search for the Soul Beast.

Su Mu traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest with Golden Crocodile Douluo, who left him near its edge. There Su Mu found a frightened little girl alone, brought her to safety, and returned from hunting to find her trembling and close to tears.

• Su Mu told the girl to wash her face, then went to hunt pheasants for them.
• Su Mu returned and found the girl clean but trembling, with red eyes and tears welling up.

• Su Mu found the little girl crying, explained that he had gone to catch pheasants, and watched her gather firewood while he roasted them.
• Su Mu teased the girl by patting her head and gave her a pheasant seasoned with chili; she stubbornly ate it despite the heat and tears.
• Su Mu took away the spicy pheasant and gave the girl an unseasoned one, which she ate before nightfall.
