• Bibi Dong’s favorability toward Qin Xuan fell to zero, and Qin Xuan silently told the system to bind.

• Yue Guan instinctively evaded, and Qin Xuan's crimson sword aura cut a long gash through the Elder Hall floor.

Qin Xuan used his sword aura and the Everbright Sword’s fire attribute to overpower Chrysanthemum Pass in a battle without Soul Skills. After being wounded and driven into a pillar, Chrysanthemum Pass prepared to counter with his self-created Chrysanthemum-Breaking Spear.

• Qin Xuan’s sword aura stunned Chrysanthemum Pass and the seven great offerings, while Qian Daoliu praised Qin Xuan’s ability and Qian Jun and Jiang Mo admitted they had not taught him swordsmanship.
• Qin Xuan and Chrysanthemum Pass fought to a standstill until the Everbright Sword’s fire attribute began suppressing the plant-based Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

• Chrysanthemum Pass stopped his wound from bleeding and summoned the severed halves of his plant whip to form a javelin for his Chrysanthemum-Breaking Spear.

Qin Xuan’s Self-Created Soul Skill unexpectedly fused his Everbright Sword with Jiang Mo Douluo’s Coiling Dragon Staff, creating a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The fusion transformed them into a powerful red-robed warrior whose Titled Douluo-level aura shook the Elder Hall.

After Qin Xuan and Jiang Mo performed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Jiang Mo’s Soul Power bottleneck began to loosen. Qian Daoliu made Qian Xunji acknowledge Qin Xuan as his younger brother and ordered him to give Qin Xuan a Wisdom Skull before Qin Xuan entered Slaughter City, while both men secretly plotted against each other.

Qian Xunji gave Qin Xuan a sixty-thousand-year Soul Bone, while Douluo Jiang Mo concealed the reason for his sudden Soul Power surge and announced his hopes of breaking through. After the others left, Qian Jun tried to test a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Qin Xuan, who kept his Hundred-Pace Flying Sword ability secret and resolved to stay low-profile until leaving Slaughter City.
