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.

• Extraterrestrial Tang San absorbed the energy of a destroyed universe and began searching other timelines for counterparts to target.
