After returning to the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong vented her anger on Yue Guan before sending Ghost Douluo to take him away and search harder for Tang Hao.

• Su Yi left the hideout, and Ghost Douluo reflected that the child could be either a blessing or a curse for Spirit Hall.

After watching Su Yi cultivate, Ghost Douluo realized that the boy was already a terrifying killing prodigy and that his own lessons had been unnecessary. He told Su Yi to focus on raising his Soul Power, then imagined the strength and title Su Yi might have as a future Titled Douluo.

• Ghost Douluo watched Su Yi cultivate and recalled how he had silently killed every bandit at the den, realizing Su Yi's skill far surpassed his own.
• Ghost Douluo felt humiliated as he remembered mistaking Su Yi's look of disbelief for fear and claiming he could teach him to kill.
• Su Yi finished cultivating and asked Ghost Douluo what training was planned.
• Ghost Douluo told Su Yi to focus on raising his Soul Power because he was only level fifteen, and Su Yi resumed cultivating.
• Ghost Douluo imagined Su Yi becoming a Titled Douluo who could defeat Tang Hao and wondered what title he should receive.

Su Yi reached Level 20 after months of relentless cultivation and physical training, while Hu Liena reached Level 30. Bibi Dong sent Hu Liena, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo to take Su Yi and Hu Liena to hunt Soul Beasts for their next Soul Rings.

• Bibi Dong heard that Su Yi had defeated a bandit gang and ordered Ghost Douluo to continue searching for Tang Hao.

• Bibi Dong allowed Su Yi's second Soul Ring to come from a Thousand Year Soul Beast, advising that its age should not exceed 1,500 years.

• Hu Liena's tears reminded Su Yi of Shadow, his companion in Tianming who had tried to teach him about emotions before she died.

Su Yi traveled with Hu Liena and the two Douluo to an unnamed Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul rings, keeping his distance from Hu Liena despite her attempts to get him to talk. The group encountered an enormous unknown soul beast, and Yue Guan suspected it was more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape.

• Su Yi chose not to seal away the painful memories Hu Liena’s gaze had stirred, then joined Hu Liena and the two Douluo on a journey to hunt soul rings.
• During two days of travel, Su Yi stayed silent, and he told Hu Liena that talking to her would not increase his strength.

• A colossal black ape more than thirty meters tall passed nearby, leaving the group stunned by its size and power.
• Yue Guan said Spirit Hall had no record of the beast and wondered whether it was more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape.

• Hu Liena remembered that Su Yi had claimed he could advance in two days, then saw that he had indeed risen from level twenty-two to level twenty-three.

• Su Yi asked Bibi Dong to enter Class Zero early, and she agreed, ordering Yue Guan to take him to the Death Group and naming him the future Holy Son of Spirit Hall.
• Hu Liena worried that Su Yi would face Class Zero alone, but Bibi Dong reassured her that he was suited to survive there and called him a God of Slaughter.
• Yue Guan explained that Class Zero was a deadly training ground filled with captured criminals, then asked Su Yi if he had thought through entering alone.

• Su Yi ambushed a burly man who had left a tent, stabbed him through the throat, and resolved to assassinate the camp’s soul masters one by one.

Su Yi began a nighttime assault on the Death Group, using stealth to kill its members as they ate and tortured captives. After eliminating several men, including a Soul Elder, he waited above a tent for more prey.

• Su Yi hid a man's body and spent two hours watching the tents, learning that the Death Group's members were careless and preyed on the weak.
