• Tang San recalled the spider's deadly abilities and Grandmaster's warning, then considered killing it to gain its Soul Ring and recover his strength.

Tang San fought the Man Faced Demon Spider for the Soul Ring he needed, while Yu Tianlong and the others speculated that Tang San's dormant Soul Beast bloodline might make him resemble a Wolf Bandit. As the spider prepared to kill him, Tang San brought out his second martial soul and swung his heavy hammer at its chest.

• With escape impossible, Tang San summoned his second martial soul, a small black hammer weighing five hundred jin.
• Tang San poured his Soul Power into the hammer and swung it at the spider's chest as its legs stabbed down at him.

• Bi Ji's pressure pinned Zhao Wuji and the Shrek group to the ground, and she told Dugu Yan to absorb the Soul Ring while she handled them.

• Yu Tianlong told Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling that Xiao Wu was inside Cho'Gath, then decided not to seek out the unconscious Tang San or risk encountering the enraged Titan Giant Ape.
• Dugu Yan began absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring, whose forceful power overwhelmed her and made her spit blood.
• Yu Tianlong said Dugu Yan had to endure the Soul Ring without outside help as blood seeped through her skin and formed a pale red mist around her convulsing body.

• Eight spider legs grew from Dugu Yan's back, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor enclosed her in a cocoon as her bones crackled.
• Yu Tianlong reassured Ning Rongrong and the others that Dugu Yan would be fine and become stronger, then arranged for them to rest in shifts while he kept watch.

• Gu Yuena told Bi Ji to protect Yu Tianlong and warn the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python rather than fight them, then left.
