Yu Tianling recommended fourth Soul Beasts for Hu Liena and Xie Yue, explaining that the immortal herbs should let them absorb rings approaching ten thousand years old. In the Sunset Forest, Xie Yue absorbed a ring from a nine-thousand-year-old Shadow-Seizing Bamboo, and he remained stable as the ring’s power strengthened him.

• Yu Tianling recommended Phantom Birds, Ghost Tigers, or Jade Birds for Hu Liena, and Shadow-Seizing Bamboo, Six-Winged Flying Serpents, or Purplish-Brown Griffins for Xie Yue.

After a month of searching Sunset Forest for Hu Liena’s Soul Ring, the group found a nine-thousand-year-old Ghost Tiger, and Yue Guan warned Gui Mei to kill it quickly before reinforcements arrived.

• Xie Yue completed his Soul Ring absorption at Level 47 and demonstrated his fourth Soul Skill, Dark Cage, which could attack and restrain enemies.
• Xie Yue explained that residual medicinal potency from an Immortal Herb had merged the Shadow-Seizing Bamboo’s darkness into his Moon Blade, causing its second evolution.
• Yu Tianling and the others continued searching Sunset Forest for a suitable Soul Beast for Hu Liena, but found no appropriate targets over the following month.
• Ghost Douluo halted the group when a Ghost Tiger over nine thousand years old appeared, and Yu Tianling identified it as one of the Soul Beasts he had recommended to Hu Liena.
• Hu Liena chose the Ghost Tiger for her Soul Ring, and Yue Guan urged Gui Mei to finish the fight quickly before other Ghost Tigers could arrive.

• Gui Mei struck the Ghost Tiger with Soul-Devouring Claw, and Yu Tianling finished wounding it with Dragon Claw Hand and his Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire.

• Hu Liena asked Chrysanthemum Douluo why Xue Qinghe seemed familiar, but he brushed off her question.
• Xue Qinghe took Yu Tianling away from the hotel alone, and after half an hour of wandering, Yu Tianling asked where they were going.

Yu Tianling met Xue Qinghe in a secluded courtyard, where she revealed that she wanted to know why Dugu Bo had joined Spirit Hall. Yu Tianling explained his bargain to cure Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, leaving Xue Qinghe visibly pleased.

• Yu Tianling warned Xue Qinghe that Xue Beng might be disguising his ambitions, then left to return to the Forest Hotel.

• Bibi Dong welcomed Zhu Zhuqing into Spirit Hall and sent her to enroll at Spirit Hall Academy under its protection.
• Yu Tianling told Bibi Dong how he obtained the God of War inheritance, but concealed the truth about the God King of Equality.
• Bibi Dong questioned why Yu Tianling called the God of War a First-Level God when her knowledge said he was a Second-Level Deity; Yu Tianling maintained that the God of War had described the inheritance as First-Level.
• Bibi Dong promised Spirit Hall's full support for Yu Tianling's God Trial, and he left the Pope's Palace to visit Lin Qingze.
• Yu Tianling explained gods and godhood inheritance to Lin Qingze, who was astonished that someone could become a god at level one hundred.

Three years later, Yu Tianling had completed the fifth God of War trial and gained the God of War Domain, then prepared to enter Slaughter City for his sixth trial. When Zhu Zhuqing reached Level 30, Yu Tianling took her toward the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her third Soul Ring and test whether her Martial Soul could evolve again.

• Lin Qingze showed Yu Tianling that the immortal herb had raised him to Level 87 and said he hoped to become a Titled Douluo within a few years.

Yu Tianling reassured Zhu Zhuqing that the Hell Spirit Cat could evolve again, then recalled how he helped Dugu Yan evolve her Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor into a Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon and resolve her poison problem.

• Yu Tianling told Zhu Zhuqing that an immortal herb taken while absorbing a Soul Ring gave the Hell Spirit Cat a strong chance of a second Martial Soul Evolution.
• Yu Tianling used an aromatic silk beauty to help Dugu Yan undergo Martial Soul Evolution, while Dugu Bo kept Xie Yue from approaching the poisonous mist.
• Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor evolved into a Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon, and her toxin problem was resolved.
• Hu Liena reported that Dugu Yan had also reached Level 40, so Dugu Bo took her and Xie Yue to obtain a Soul Ring.
• Yu Tianling and Zhu Zhuqing remembered Yan’s frustration at Xie Yue and Dugu Yan’s romance and decided to help Yan find a girl.

Yu Tianling and Zhu Zhuqing entered the Star Dou Great Forest’s inner region and discovered that a Dark Night Bodhi Fruit had drawn Soul Beasts into a deadly battle. Yu Tianling planned to seize it for Zhu Zhuqing, whose Hell Spirit Cat might regain its darkness attribute, and waited for the remaining beasts to weaken one another.

• Yu Tianling and Zhu Zhuqing searched the forest outskirts for half a month, then continued into the inner region when they found no suitable Soul Beasts.
• They followed the scent of blood to a clearing where Soul Beasts were fighting, and watched as most of them died or fled.
• Yu Tianling and Zhu Zhuqing identified a Dark Night Bodhi Fruit as the cause of the frenzy and recognized that it could restore or strengthen Zhu Zhuqing’s darkness attribute.
• Yu Tianling told Zhu Zhuqing to stay hidden and planned to use his domain to grab the fruit after the remaining Soul Beasts fought and weakened one another.

Yu Tianling and Zhu Zhuqing watched the Dark Night Bodhi Fruit ripen as the guarding Soul Beasts fought until only the Dark Demon Dragon King remained. Before it could claim the fruit, a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appeared, and Yu Tianling identified it as a sixteen-thousand-year beast rather than the much more dangerous one Tang San encountered later.

• The Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts began fighting as the Dark Night Bodhi Fruit neared ripeness, and Yu Tianling and Zhu Zhuqing watched from hiding.

• A hidden Dark Demon Evil God Tiger emerged and confronted the Dark Demon Dragon King before it could take the fruit.
• Yu Tianling estimated the tiger's age at sixteen thousand years and recalled the powerful abilities of the older Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Tang San had once fought.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger ambushed the wounded Dark Demon Dragon King over the Dark Night Bodhi Fruit, and the two fought fiercely. The Dragon King destroyed itself to kill its enemy, but the Tiger survived badly injured and moved to claim the fruit, leaving Yu Tianling wondering whether it was the same beast Tang San later encountered.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger attacked the exhausted Dark Demon Dragon King, and the two powerful Soul Beasts fought over the Dark Night Bodhi Fruit.
• After several minutes of fighting, the Dark Demon Dragon King unleashed a black dome skill and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger opened a black hole to pull them into another dimension.
• The Dark Demon Dragon King self-destructed inside the dome, leaving a deep crater and a badly wounded Dark Demon Evil God Tiger alive.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dragged itself toward the Dark Night Bodhi Fruit after confirming the Dark Demon Dragon King was dead.
• Yu Tianling suspected that the Tiger would consume the fruit, grow stronger, and eventually become the same Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Tang San encountered.

Yu Tianling ambushed and killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, claiming its Soul Pearl and sealing the Dark Night Bodhi Fruit before escaping with Zhu Zhuqing. At the Lake of Life, the silver dragon sensed the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, prompting Di Tian to order Bi Ji to investigate the forest.

• Yu Tianling activated his God of War Domain and bound the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with Spatial Thorns, preventing it from using Age Reversal.
• Yu Tianling struck the tiger with Spatial Assault and Forbidden Slash, drawing its soul into the Gloomy Space before piercing its heart and killing it.

• Zhu Zhuqing summoned her corporeal, flame-wreathed Martial Soul, and Yu Tianling urged her to give it a new name.

Zhu Zhuqing named her evolved Martial Soul the Hellfire Cat and tested its enhanced combat abilities with Yu Tianling. After absorbing a 4,700-year-old Hell Spirit Cat’s Soul Ring, she became a Level 38 Soul Elder and awaited the reveal of her Third Soul Skill.

• Zhu Zhuqing named her evolved Martial Soul the Hellfire Cat, which gained Ultimate Darkness, Ultimate Fire, and greater speed.
