Chu Yuan and his group were confronted by Dai Mubai and the Shrek Academy instructors on a busy street, where Zhu Zhuqing rejected her former betrothal and Chu Yuan refused Flender’s demands. Zhao Wuji exploded in anger and prepared to teach Chu Yuan a lesson.
Keqing stopped Zhao Wuji from grabbing Chu Yuan and defeated his defensive Soul Skill with a lightning-charged sword strike. Flender halted Zhao Wuji before the fight escalated, leaving the Shrek group wary of Chu Yuan and his companions.
Flender tried to recruit Chu Yuan and his companions into Shrek Academy after Zhao Wuji backed down, but Chu Yuan rejected him and Dai Mubai erupted in anger at Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing publicly severed their engagement and threatened Dai Mubai, who was stopped by Tang San just as he prepared to attack.
Tang San challenged Chu Yuan’s group to a fair match at the Soto Great Soul Arena in three days, and Chu Yuan accepted with severe stakes for Shrek Academy. After Shrek left, Chu Yuan set out with his companions for a quiet Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect residence in Suotuo City.
Chu Yuan watched from the VIP box as Keqing and Zhu Zhuqing faced Shrek Academy’s three fighters in a high-profile wager match. Dai Mubai began the fight by empowering himself and charging at Zhu Zhuqing, who stood ready to face him alone.
Zhu Zhuqing swiftly defeated Dai Mubai, then Keqing overwhelmed Tang San and Xiao Wu with her Starward Sword burst. The opposing fighters lay defeated at the edge of the Soul Fighting platform as Keqing stood unharmed at its center.
Keqing and Zhu Zhuqing defeated Shrek Academy’s fighters, and Keqing crushed Tang San’s attempt to counterattack. Chu Yuan descended into the arena as the crowd acclaimed him, while Xiao Wu tended to the badly injured Tang San.
Chu Yuan defeated Shrek Academy’s challenge and demanded that Flender honor their wager, while Xiao Wu’s instincts made her feel an overwhelming attraction and submission toward Chu Yuan. After leaving the arena with the victory’s compensation, Chu Yuan arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect residence, where Ning Rongrong reminded him of his promise to baptize her Martial Soul.
