• Dugu Bo crushed the blade, shrugged off the Spiritual Shock, and subdued the two-headed beast.

Er Ming identified the captive Two-Headed Refined-Iron Beast as two linked individuals whose separate Soul Rings could kill anyone without Twin Martial Souls, and everyone agreed it was ideal for Lu Chen. Lu Chen absorbed both rings, used two bloodline upgrades to raise their age, and emerged without visible pain.

• Er Ming returned wounded after leading the Refined-Iron Beasts away and identified the captive as a rare Two-Headed Refined-Iron Beast with an attack that stored energy for a double-damage strike.
• Er Ming explained that the beast contained two individuals and produced two Soul Rings, making absorption fatal to Soul Masters without Twin Martial Souls.
