• Du Busi warned Qian Renxue not to provoke the cult, but she remained intrigued as the sinister aura lingered nearby.

• The second round began, and numbers ninety-six and ninety-eight and Huo Yuhao carved formation patterns while Qian Renyou observed and worked on metal.
• Qian Renyou reflected that Soul Tools relied on fixed, stackable formations and suited mass production, while Magic Tools could grow stronger with their users.

The tournament contestants tested the Soul Tools they had made, and Huo Yuhao’s defensive shield proved far stronger than expected. With Number Ninety-Six and Number Ninety-Eight’s weapons already evaluated, Qian Renyou’s result remained to be seen.

• He Caitou’s shield withstood an attack rated at 650 before showing serious damage, earning praise as an exceptional fourth-grade defensive Soul Tool.
• Number Ninety-Six and Number Ninety-Eight worried that they would lose their Ranked List carving knives, while Qian Renyou’s Soul Tool remained untested.

• Number Ninety-Six and Number Ninety-Eight surrendered their carving knives, while Huo Yuhao examined the cannon, accepted his defeat, and handed Qian Renyou Hongchen's Blessing and the Blade of Life.
• Huo Yuhao vowed to win the treasures back, and the Third Elder gave Qian Renyou a Duskwater Alliance guest token and invited her to advance directly to the finals.
• Qian Renyou revealed that she had already reached Soul Emperor, accepted the direct invitation, and left with Gu Yuena, Xu Jiujiu, and Wei Na.
• Xu Jiujiu told Qian Renyou that she, Wei Na, and Gu Yuena had won their bets, then handed her the Gold Soul Coins on a Purple Gold Card.
