• Su Yu made breakfast the next morning, then took the two girls to search Sunset Forest’s outskirts for a suitable Soul Beast.
• Su Yu used Mind's Eye of the Kagura to locate a Great Strength Gorilla estimated to be just over four hundred years old.

• The Great Strength Gorilla pounded the ground with its arms as Su Yu, Ning Rongrong, and Xue Na faced it.

Su Yu stopped the fleeing Great Strength Gorilla with his Tiger Flame Demon Light and brought Ning Rongrong and Xue Na to face the wounded beast. He urged Rongrong to claim her Soul Ring, and after the gorilla startled her with one last roar, she gathered herself to try again.

• The Great Strength Gorilla fled, so Su Yu fired his Tiger Flame Demon Light after it and struck it down in the forest.

• Ning Rongrong asked why she had reached rank eighteen, and Su Yu explained that the Aromatic Silk Beauty’s stored medicinal power had been released after she absorbed her soul ring.
• Su Yu told Xue Na that he would give her an immortal herb once she became a Soul Grandmaster, and she promised to cultivate diligently.
