• He Caitou left Fan Yu after a day of experiments and reflected on his identity as Xu He, the Sun Moon Empire’s exiled prince and heir.
• He Caitou sensed something was wrong on the road, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trapped him in an illusion and revealed that it knew his identity.

• Huo Yuhao learned through his connection with the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul that the attack had succeeded and continued celebrating at a restaurant.

• Huo Yuhao absorbed the Dragon Qi from He Caitou’s frozen corpse with his Visualization White Tiger, briefly changing its forehead mark and making the skin between his brows ripple.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suggested that He Caitou’s bloodline might contain Dragon Clan traits linked to the Sun Moon Empire imperial family, and Huo Yuhao let the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul digest the corpse.

After gaining Electrolux and He Caitou as main souls of his Soul Banner, Huo Yuhao set out with Bei Bei to hunt a Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon in the Star Dou Great Forest. In the wetland, Huo Yuhao spotted a weakened hundred-thousand-year Golden Hawksbill and became tempted by the discovery.

• Huo Yuhao learned that Electrolux’s possession and Undead Magic greatly increased his abilities, though using Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s spiritual origin came at a steep cost.
• Huo Yuhao met Bei Bei at the school gate with breakfast, and the two set out for the Star Dou Great Forest to find a Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon.
• After entering the forest, Huo Yuhao learned that a Soul Douluo was secretly following them, while Bei Bei taught him about hunting soul beasts.
• Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei reached a swamp in the Mixed Zone, where Huo Yuhao used the Qi Observation Technique to spot a weakened hundred-thousand-year Golden Hawksbill.

Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei hunted the Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon, but Huo Yuhao secretly used his Frost Centipede Martial Soul and Life-Reaping Sanskrit to subdue it while the beast appeared to swallow Bei Bei and flee into the swamp. Huo Yuhao followed it underground, leaving an enraged Soul Douluo searching for them above the swamp.

• Huo Yuhao pretended to panic, then chased into the swamp with his Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul.
• A Soul Douluo arrived and searched the swamp, but Huo Yuhao and the Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon were gone.

Huo Yuhao captured the weakened Golden Hawksbill and froze it while planning to use its soul, body, Gold of Life, and soul bone. He then turned his attention to the Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon holding the unconscious Bei Bei, considering it as a potential third soul ring.

• The Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul seized the Golden Hawksbill, and Huo Yuhao briefly confused it with Life-Reaping Sanskrit before it resisted his control.
• Huo Yuhao offered to remove the Golden Hawksbill's pain in exchange for its body and soul, prompting it to hide inside its shell.
• Huo Yuhao used Frost Centipede Poison and Hidden Profound Poison to freeze the Golden Hawksbill, then planned to use its soul, body, Gold of Life, and hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
• After confirming the area was safe, Huo Yuhao approached the dazed Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon and considered taking its nearly ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Huo Yuhao forced the Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon past the ten-thousand-year threshold and killed it, then claimed its soul ring and Soul Bone. After learning the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul’s new skill, he realized it might be able to dispel support-type soul skills.

• Huo Yuhao injected Medicinal Qi into the Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon while the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul froze it in place.
• The Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon broke through to ten thousand years and tried to ambush Huo Yuhao, but the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul killed it.
• Huo Yuhao absorbed the Poison Swamp Lizard Dragon’s soul into the Ghost Banner and found a ten-thousand-year Torso Bone in its corpse.
• The Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul absorbed the soul ring by itself, but could not absorb the Soul Bone.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that the new skill, Bone Piercing Cold Qi, could invade a soul master and disperse weaker external Soul Power.
• Huo Yuhao wondered whether Bone Piercing Cold Qi could dispel support-type soul skills applied to a soul master.
