Huo Yuhao learned how the scarcity of Soul Skill types shaped team battles and considered how to face Dai Hua Bin and Zhu Lu’s Hell White Tiger. When he asked Qian Daoliu about the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Qian explained why the Golden Iron Triangle’s version was weakened by Yu Xiaogang’s low cultivation.

• Huo Yuhao understood that the Hell White Tiger concentrated its power on destructive force, making it especially dangerous when supported by a Control System soul master.

• Qian Daoliu recounted how two Soul Emperors and the rank 19 Yu Xiaogang formed the Golden Iron Triangle and drew Spirit Hall’s interest.
