Chapter 4: Tree Emblem × 1 (When the final settlement is conducted after this round of the competition ends, using the "Tree Emblem" can appropriately increase the final score). Counterfeit

The four types of gains obtained were not directly given to Su Xiao but were rewards for the Demon Spirit Incarnation, though the ownership belonged to him. For example, when the Demon Spirit Incarnation wanted to use the "Burning Invitation," Su Xiao received a prompt immediately. Only after he granted usage permission could the Demon Spirit Incarnation successfully use it.
The Demon Spirit Incarnation clearing the "Soul Hall" was expected, but the scoring structure was very much in line with the Demon Spirit's style: S+ for combat kills, and E- for the intelligence-gathering phase. This wasn't because the Demon Spirit was weak in intelligence-gathering—it simply had no behavior in that regard at all.
What to do when encountering a massive mechanical gate ahead? The answer was to slash it with a blade. If one slash couldn't open it, then smash it with a crystal hammer. The "Soul Weapon" produced from the Nun's Treasure Chest was used by the Demon Spirit Incarnation.
[Soul Weapon]
Origin: Twin of the Overlord Creature, Star.
Quality: Overlord Rank.
Equipment Effect: Soul Adaptation Power (Unique, Passive). This weapon has three forms: Longsword, Soul Bow, and Crystal Hammer. After the holder chooses to soul-bind this equipment, these three weapon forms will adapt corresponding weapon traits based on the holder's own technique-type ability.
Rating: 6000 points (Overlord equipment rating ranges from 1 to 6000 points).
Description: Elegant, graceful, deadly.

Thus, the Demon Spirit Incarnation cleared the Soul Hall by one-shotting everything. Only when facing the final boss of the stage, the "Soul Ascender," did it exchange a few rounds, but after a set of elegant combos, the Soul Ascender died on the spot.
Currently, the Demon Spirit was about to clear the "Pain Hall." After clearing this level 20 dungeon, the Demon Spirit would, according to the contract's binding, go to the "Nightmare Sanctuary" in the nearby area to improve—commonly known as leveling up.
Not only that, but after Baha died three times, losing a total of 1.5% of his Stamina Attribute and 2% of his Intelligence Attribute, the special areas of this world were all revealed on the map. As for Baha's losses, if they won this time, returning to Reincarnation Paradise would grant him an ultra-high-intensity "Potential Awakening." This was the main way Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Beini enhanced their physical attributes.
Su Xiao opened the map of this world, examined it, and began drafting the subsequent movement and combat plan for the Demon Spirit Incarnation, which was as follows:
