• Su Ge entered the Mixed Area, where Soul Beasts weaker than him retreated from his aura, and considered a Sharp Gold Tiger as a possible alternative.
• After searching for more than half a month, Su Ge found a tiger-type Soul Beast cave among the rocky hills and threw in meat to lure its occupant out.

• Su Ge decided not to attack the Lion-Tiger Beast immediately and planned to draw a nearby Diamond Tiger into a fight to weaken it.

Su Ge lured the thousand-year-old Diamond Tiger away from its den, gathered its blood and fur, and planted them near the Lion-Tiger Beast’s territory to provoke a clash. The ten-thousand-year-old Diamond Tiger returned and followed the trail, while Su Ge baited the Lion-Tiger Beast with meat smeared in Diamond Tiger blood, setting the two beasts against each other.

• The Lion-Tiger Beast emerged with the meat in its jaws and turned toward the approaching Diamond Tiger, which caught the scent and roared at it.

• Su Ge retreated to prepare for an attrition fight and faced the Lion-Tiger Beast with a dagger, convinced he would win.

Su Ge absorbed the Lion-Tiger Beast’s thousand-year Soul Ring and gained a powerful attribute-amplifying First Soul Skill. While processing the two beasts’ corpses, he found a golden Soul Bone from the Lion-Tiger Beast’s right hind paw and left its type undecided.

• Su Ge hid the Lion-Tiger Beast and Diamond Tiger corpses in the cave, recovered, and began absorbing the Lion-Tiger Beast’s Soul Ring.
• The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff’s roar subdued the Soul Ring, allowing Su Ge to absorb it without pressure and break through his bottleneck.
