Yu Xiaogang realized that his Beast Martial Soul, Little Dragon, had only truly awakened upon reaching rank forty, granting him Martial Soul Possession for the first time.

Yu Xiaogang used Elementalization to hold Yu Yuanzhen to a stalemate, then asked his father to stop holding back and entered Martial Soul Possession with Little Dragon. Bibi Dong was astonished to see it, while the First Elder convinced her that Yu Xiaogang had simply been training to fight alongside his Martial Soul.

• Yu Yuanzhen struggled to hit Yu Xiaogang because he timed Elementalization well, and the two reached a stalemate under Yu Yuanzhen’s Soul Sage-level limit.

• A Rou explained that a stronger Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and its brutal followers had occupied territory near hers and threatened her group.
