• Wu Xuan waited for Ye Guyi to return and scolded her for leaving the hotel to hunt Evil Soul Masters.

• Wu Xuan sensed multiple approaching presences, and a silver-white, wolf-shaped Soul Beast emerged from the forest.

Wu Xuan annihilated a pack of Silver and Golden Wolves with his Soul Breaking Spear while protecting Ye Guyi, then led her to a Sacred Radiant Golden Lion as a candidate for her sixth soul ring.

• Wu Xuan explained that his family's Soul Breaking Spear had beneficially mutated in his generation, binding itself to his Sea of Consciousness and gaining a Spirit Attribute.

Electrolux explained that Wu Xuan’s Soul Breaking Spear had failed to complete its transformation because of his Twin Martial Souls and proposed using the Life Gold carving knife to awaken its potential. Wu Xuan agreed to pay the cost, and Electrolux began a ritual to embed the Life Gold into the spear.

• Electrolux told Wu Xuan that his Soul Breaking Spear’s incomplete transformation was connected to his Twin Martial Souls and his Wind Element Martial Soul’s former limits.
• Electrolux identified Wu Xuan’s Life Gold carving knife as the one opportunity to transform the Soul Breaking Spear, and Wu Xuan agreed to seek his help.
• Wu Xuan revealed himself to Huo Yuhao, who questioned how he had reached the Sun Moon Empire and suspected he was connected to the Mingde Hall theft.
• Electrolux examined the spear and carving knife, then said he needed part of the Life Gold to recover enough strength to perform the ritual.
• Wu Xuan accepted the cost, isolated the private room with a Rank 8 Soul Tool, and opened his Sea of Consciousness for Electrolux.
• Electrolux formed a golden staff from Wu Xuan’s Spiritual Power, melted the Life Gold, and began inscribing runes onto the Soul Breaking Spear.

Wu Xuan’s Soul Breaking Spear evolved into a God-tier Martial Soul, and his Spiritual Power advanced after Electrolux fused Life Gold into the spear.

• Wu Xuan woke with greatly enhanced Spiritual Power and confirmed that his Soul Breaking Spear had become a God-tier Martial Soul.
• Wu Xuan asked Electrolux to name the equivalent exchange, and Huo Yuhao brought up the embryo as Wu Xuan summoned the Platform of Deification.

Huo Yuhao received the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Embryo from Wu Xuan, who agreed to keep it for him, but a broken Position-Link Soul Tool alerted Wu Xuan that Ye Guyi was in danger. Wu Xuan rushed to save her as the Holy Spirit Cult’s Fourth Elder pursued her outside Ming Capital.

• Huo Yuhao asked Wu Xuan to give Electrolux the soul beast embryo as payment, and Wu Xuan handed it to Huo Yuhao while keeping the Platform of Deification.
• Electrolux warned Huo Yuhao that carrying the embryo at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was dangerous, so Huo Yuhao returned it to Wu Xuan and accepted a Position-Link Soul Tool.
• Wu Xuan’s Position-Link Soul Tool broke, signaling that Ye Guyi had encountered danger, and he vanished to find her as Electrolux attached his spiritual sense to Wu Xuan’s Soul Breaking Spear.
• Outside Ming Capital, Ye Guyi killed an Evil Soul Master steward and fled when the Xi Shui Alliance’s Fourth Elder, a ninety-second-rank Titled Douluo, arrived.
• Ye Guyi activated her Divine Angel Martial Soul and a Class Six Flying Soul Tool, but the Fourth Elder pursued her and planned to capture her for a blood sacrifice.

• Ye Guyi hurled a Level Eight Piercing Bomb at the pursuing Fourth Elder, then used a barrage of Level Seven Shock Grenades to blast him again.
• The Fourth Elder countered with his Netherworld Sword and forced Ye Guyi to use her Tortoiseshell Shield, which left her weakened after she crashed into a tree.

• Wu Xuan revealed two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and attacked the Fourth Elder with King's Descent, Evil Breaking Slash.
