• Su Mu revealed his original appearance and six Soul Rings, but the black-robed figure matched his charge and revealed a swamp-monster Martial Soul with nine Soul Rings.

Su Mu tried to escape a black-robed Titled Douluo whose strange Martial Soul could absorb attacks, but discovered that his own Martial Soul’s dragon roars weakened the man. The black-robed man trapped Su Mu with his ninth Soul Skill, and Gu Rong and an unidentified Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master arrived as the attack gathered overhead.

• Su Mu pretended to join the black-robed man’s organization, then used Snow’s Sorrow to flee toward Spirit City while Zhu Zhuqing ran ahead.
• The black-robed man transformed into a slime-like creature, pursued Su Mu, and attacked with his stretching arm and Devouring Soul Skill.
• Su Mu evaded the black wave with Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow, then found that his punches barely affected the black-robed man’s dough-like body.

• Gu Rong and an unidentified Soul Master with Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon features shouted for the black-robed man to stop.

• Gu Yuena told Su Mu to press his hand against hers and invoked “When the Divine Dragon Appears, the Sun and Moon Change,” causing their power to surge.
• A white light vanished to reveal a transformed Su Mu, while Gu Yuena had disappeared and Tang San watched the change from a distant forest.

Su Mu awakened strange powers through Gu Yuena’s silver dragon scale, killed the black-robed freak, and was named Spirit Hall’s Holy Son by Qian Daoliu. As Spirit Hall prepared to depart, Tang San’s blue light struck Su Mu and left him unconscious, while a matching black-robed man appeared behind Tang San.

• Su Mu gained a pale-gold Soul Ring and new elemental and spatial abilities, while the black-robed freak transformed into slime and tried to merge with the mass above him.

• Tang San rested in the distant woods, where a black-robed man matching Su Mu’s attacker appeared behind him.

Three days later, he woke in the Worship Hall, where Qian Renxue interrupted his reunion with Zhu Zhuqing and brought him to Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo.

• The God of Destruction offered Su Mu his inheritance, suppressed a blood-red light that Su Mu suspected belonged to the Asura God, and accepted Su Mu's demand for his weapon.
• Su Mu agreed to inherit the God of Destruction's position, but purple energy enveloped him before he could clarify that he wanted the Destruction Scepter.
• After three days, Su Mu woke to find Zhu Zhuqing asleep beside him, and they embraced until Qian Renxue entered and summoned him to see everyone.
• Su Mu joined Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Qian Renxue in the Worship Hall, where Qian Daoliu asked what had happened during the past few days.

• Qian Renxue confronted Su Mu in the park, and he used Eyeing Like a Tiger to immobilize her after teasing her.
• Su Mu revealed that he had known Qian Renxue was disguised as the crown prince, and she angrily threatened him.

Su Mu provoked Qian Renxue in the park, then returned to find Zhu Zhuqing angry with him. The next morning, he left Spirit City with Zhu Zhuqing and Ling Yuan, a newly appointed Titled Douluo assigned to guard him.

• Su Mu released Qian Renxue from his Soul Skill, taunted her, and left her fuming while Qian Daoliu watched from nearby.
• Su Mu returned to his room, where Zhu Zhuqing confronted him with a cold glare, and the two spent the night together.

• Ling Yuan insisted on staying close to Su Mu even inside Spirit Hall, and the next day she, Su Mu, and Zhu Zhuqing left Spirit City by carriage.
