Tang San struggled through intense pain while Xiao Han absorbed his ring calmly, and the chapter revealed that Xiao Han’s resilience came from the ring’s resentment mysteriously vanishing and his extraordinarily powerful body.

• Xiao Han told Yu Xiaogang and the others that his First Spirit Skill increased his defense and physical attack power according to his Spirit Rings’ total age.

Yu Xiaogang and his companions searched the Star Dou Great Forest for suitable spirit rings until Luo San Pao led them to a clearing filled with human and Spirit Beast corpses. Yu Xiaogang saw the bloodied site as an opportunity for Xiao Han and ordered a blood pool to be prepared, leaving Flender to realize it might be a special martial spirit awakening ritual.

• Yu Xiaogang ordered Flender to dig a pit and the other teachers to gather corpses with uncoagulated blood, prompting Flender to recognize the plan as a blood pool ritual.

Yu Xiaogang and the Shrek teachers prepared a blood bath to awaken Xiao Han’s second martial soul, while Tang San wondered whether it might be evil. As Xiao Han entered the pool, golden lights appeared and Yu Xiaogang felt his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline tremble, leaving the nature of Xiao Han’s martial soul unknown.

• Yu Xiaogang explained that bathing in blood could awaken special Beast Spirits or Tool Spirits, and Tang San asked whether Xiao Han’s second martial soul might be evil.
• Flender, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and the other teachers filled a small pool with the blood of humans and soul beasts after learning Xiao Han might possess Twin Martial Souls.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that blood could awaken both evil and holy martial souls, so they could not yet identify Xiao Han’s second martial soul.
• Xiao Han entered the blood pool, and Yu Xiaogang used six jade stones to surround it with holy light as blood energy surged into Xiao Han.
• Golden lights appeared around Xiao Han, and Yu Xiaogang felt his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline tremble.

• Yu Xiaogang announced that Xiao Han could have Triple Martial Souls, shocking Flender, Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others.

• Flender subdued the Blazing Tiger and dragged it to Yu Xiaogang without killing it.
• Xiao Han's golden light condensed into scales as a powerful sacred aura spread, leaving Tang San stunned by his third martial soul.

Xiao Han awakened a third Martial Soul, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and Tang San suspected that Xiao Han shared his origins as a transmigrator. As Xiao Han concealed what he knew about his past, a mysterious voice threatened the group.

• Xiao Han's third Martial Soul manifested as a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, leaving Flender and Yu Xiaogang stunned.
• Tang San identified the dragon and compared Xiao Han's extraordinary gifts with his own, wondering whether Xiao Han was also a transmigrator.
• Xiao Han dressed and Yu Xiaogang and Flender praised him for possessing Triple Martial Souls.
• Tang San tested Xiao Han with familiar verses and questions about his origins, but Xiao Han gave him Old Jack's story while hiding his ability to travel between worlds.
• A smug voice announced that it had found eight humans and intended to devour them, especially targeting the possessor of a top-tier Martial Soul.

Yu Xiaogang identified the black creature confronting the group as a Dark Devilgod Tiger, a nearly extinct Spirit Beast with over sixty thousand years of cultivation and a domain. As Flender and the others prepared to fight, Xiao Han decided to make it his second soul ring.

• A massive black tiger appeared, and Yu Xiaogang identified it as a Dark Devilgod Tiger.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that the tiger was an exceptionally powerful, nearly extinct Spirit Beast that grew stronger by devouring other beings’ soul power.

Yu Xiaogang ordered Xiao Han to support the group as they confronted a sixty-thousand-year Dark Devilgod Tiger, which was powerful enough to rival a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast. The tiger demanded that the group surrender Xiao Han, and the others began advancing cautiously while Xiao Han kept his stronger abilities hidden.

• Yu Xiaogang told Xiao Han to support Flender, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Shao Xin, and Lu Qibin because the group lacked a Support System Spirit Master, and he forbade Tang San from joining the fight.

• Yu Xiaogang warned the group about the tiger's many attributes and urged Flender and Zhao Wuji not to let the fight drag on.
• Zhao Wuji led the group toward the tiger, while Xiao Han again offered to take the lead and Yu Xiaogang insisted he remain in the support role.

The Dark Devilgod Tiger overwhelmed the Spirit Masters’ formation, neutralizing their control skills and knocking Shao Xin unconscious. As Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Li Yusong struggled to damage it, Xiao Han decided he could no longer remain on the sidelines.

• Lu Qibin and Zhao Wuji attacked the Dark Devilgod Tiger with Star Luo Chess and Gravity Enhancement, but its spatial power nullified their efforts.
• The Dark Devilgod Tiger broke through the front line, sent Flender and Li Yusong flying, and knocked Shao Xin unconscious.

• Xiao Han multiplied his talismans to a thousand, then used Xiao Ai to purchase another nine thousand high-grade Explosion Talismans.

Xiao Han used thousands of Explosion Talismans and Zhao Wuji’s Gravity Squeeze to seriously injure the Dark Devilgod Tiger. As the tiger tried to open a Black Hole that could drag everyone into a deadly space, Xiao Han and the others disrupted it and struck its wounds, leaving it weakened and vulnerable.

• The Dark Devilgod Tiger shrugged off the first Explosion Talismans, but Xiao Han unleashed a sustained barrage that wore down its defenses.
• Xiao Han told Zhao Wuji to use Gravity Squeeze, trapping nearly nine thousand talismans around the tiger and detonating them in a massive blast.

• Flender urged Xiao Han to kill the weakened Dark Devilgod Tiger.

• Yu Xiaogang began absorbing the Blazing Tiger’s soul ring, and the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors charged at the three defenders.

As Zhao Wuji and the others struggled against three ninety-thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant Emperors, Xiao Han finished absorbing the Dark Devilgod Tiger's Spirit Ring and defeated the ants with his fused Heavenly Flames.

Yu Xiaogang revealed San Pao’s new fire-breathing skill, and the group prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest as San Pao swallowed a Phoenix-tail Cockscomb Serpent.

• Xiao Han showed that the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s skills let him summon destructive tornadoes and lightning, and that Flash could carry him six hundred meters, though it could only be used three times in succession within an hour.
