Xiao Xuan returned to Soul Beast Manor to absorb a second spirit ring beyond the normal limit, despite warnings from Hu Liena and Ju Hua Guan. With Bibi Dong overseeing the attempt, he began absorbing Sky Dragon’s thousand-year ring and relied on the Three Illusion Gods to protect his body.

• Xiao Xuan returned to Soul Beast Manor and chose three soul beasts just over a thousand years old to meet his system mission.

• The Three Illusion Gods divided their roles, with Sky Dragon absorbing the ring while Winged Dragon and Giant Soldier protected Xiao Xuan’s heart, organs, and meridians.

Xiao Xuan endured and absorbed a thousand-year soul ring with the Three Illusion Gods protecting him, revealing unusual changes in his martial soul and existing rings that caught Bibi Dong’s attention. He reached level twenty-nine, then went to rest as Bibi Dong warned him to consolidate his foundation before trying to advance further.

• Xiao Xuan’s martial soul transformed into a golden barrier while he absorbed the soul ring, astonishing Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

• Bibi Dong confirmed Xiao Xuan had reached level twenty-nine, praised his talent, and advised him to rest and strengthen his foundation.

After recovering, Xiao Xuan tested Sky Dragon’s new Skill Replication ability with Hu Liena and copied her Fox Charm Sorcery. He discovered that the copied skill vanished after one use and consumed a great deal of Soul Power, then asked Hu Liena to test her second skill.

• Xiao Xuan recovered under Hu Liena’s care and decided to master Sky Dragon’s new skill before seeking more soul rings.
• Xiao Xuan joined Hu Liena at the training ground and asked her to demonstrate Fox Charm Sorcery.
• Hu Liena’s charm briefly dazed Xiao Xuan, and he instinctively touched her waist to activate Skill Replication.
• Xiao Xuan copied and used Fox Charm Sorcery, causing Hu Liena to become dazed and praise him before she regained her senses.
• Xiao Xuan realized each copied skill disappeared after one use and consumed nearly twice the usual Soul Power, then asked Hu Liena to demonstrate her second Soul Skill.

Xiao Xuan considered how his replication skill could reveal the principles and weaknesses of other abilities, then enrolled in Spirit Hall Academy and prepared to take the Spirit Hall Battle Team’s entry assessment. Xie Yue and Yan saw the assessment as their last chance to challenge him, though Xie Yue had begun treating Xiao Xuan like family.

• Xiao Xuan reasoned that his replication skill could expose how an opponent’s abilities worked and help him find openings.

• Yan urged Xie Yue to use the assessment to challenge Xiao Xuan before his growing strength made him harder to deal with.
• Xie Yue agreed, saying he wanted to protect Hu Liena, while Yan wondered whether Xie Yue was already treating Xiao Xuan as a future brother-in-law.

Xiao Xuan reached the Spirit Hall Battle Team’s base and faced its final assessment: a fight against Xie Yue and Yan together. The battle began with the onlookers stunned by the purple spirit ring among Xiao Xuan’s four rings.

• A teacher escorted Xiao Xuan to the mountain entrance and explained that he needed the dean’s Pope’s Token to enter the base.
• Xie Yue told Xiao Xuan that the final assessment had been changed because he had defeated Li Kai instantly.
• Xiao Xuan challenged Xie Yue and Yan to fight him together, and both accepted.
• Xie Yue and Yan announced their martial souls and levels, then summoned their martial souls and spirit rings.
• Xiao Xuan revealed his Three Illusion Gods and four spirit rings, shocking the onlookers with a purple ring that appeared to belong to a Great Spirit Master.

• Yan covered himself in Granite Armor and charged Xiao Xuan with Hell Lava Charge.
• Xiao Xuan enhanced his attributes and deflected Xie Yue’s Moon Blade with an incompletely charged Thunder Summon.

• Xiao Xuan baited Yan into strengthening his Granite Armor, then copied the skill and used Yan’s arm to leap toward Xie Yue.
• Xie Yue enhanced his Moon Blade with Slash and Break, but the blade only cut Xiao Xuan shallowly before bouncing off his rock armor.

• Xiao Xuan settled into his room and used the Energy Card Box, which had filled after he defeated Xie Yue and Yan.
• Xiao Xuan drew the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card and discovered it granted an External Soul Bone called Azure Eye, with Dragon Might and Radiance of the Azure Eye.

Xiao Xuan examined the Azure Eye External Soul Bone and decided to absorb it, triggering intense Soul Power fluctuations that alarmed his teammates and brought Bibi Dong to his room. Bibi Dong discovered what he was doing and was stunned that he had obtained an External Soul Bone.

• Xiao Xuan learned that the Azure Eye's Radiance of the Azure Eye could intimidate targets up to ten levels above him, while Dragon Might increased his affinity with and control over dragons.

• Bibi Dong arrived with Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo, sensed the unusual disturbance, and saw Xiao Xuan absorbing an External Soul Bone.

Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall members learned that Xiao Xuan had absorbed an External Soul Bone, and the sight of his power left the young geniuses feeling hopeless.

• Xiao Wu argued with Tang San over his obsession with Xiao Xuan and his devotion to Yu Xiaogang, then slammed the door and left.

Xiao Xuan returned to Nuoding City with Hu Liena and arranged for Xiao Chenyu to test Tang San's reaction to his return. At the academy, Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San not to seek revenge yet and told him to endure until he was stronger.

• Xue Qinghe praised Xiao Xuan's talent and invited him to call her Brother Xue, subtly seeking to win him over.

Qian Renxue tried to draw Xiao Xuan into attending a friendly competition, but Hu Liena interrupted with a mission as an excuse to get him away. Xiao Xuan and Hu Liena learned the mission was real and prepared to investigate a missing Spirit Hall team near the Star Dou Great Forest, where Xiao Xuan might obtain his third spirit ring.
