He decided to keep the bead for Qian Renxue and leave for Slaughter City, but Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo required him to prove his strength first.

• Su Mo spent two days absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring and gained Evil God Guardian, a defensive skill that resisted soul attacks.

Su Mo helped Hu Liena clear the baleful aura in Slaughter City, and she gradually fell in love with him.

Su Mo won his sixty-fifth consecutive match in the Hell Slaughter Arena, where he encountered Tang San, who was shocked to learn how long Su Mo had been in Slaughter City and how early he had become a Soul King.

• Su Mo and Bibi Dong concluded that Tang Hao wanted to kill him because his Soul Tool Fusion and Soul Tool Refinement could threaten the Clear Sky Sect, so Su Mo focused on developing ultra-long-range Teleport.
