Yu Tianlin raised his First Soul Ring to the ten-thousand-year level and broke through to Level Forty-Five, then learned that his eldest brother and the Imperial Fighting Team had arrived in Suotuo City.

The Shrek Seven Devils fought Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, using Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu to hold Yu Tianheng back while the others targeted the healer. Dugu Yan moved to defend Ye Lingling as she continued healing Yu Tianheng.

• Yu Tianheng charged Dai Mubai, who used his White Tiger Barrier and Ning Rongrong’s amplification to withstand him.
• Yu Tianheng powered up with his third soul skill, but Xiao Wu’s Charm disrupted him until Dugu Yan used her poison to sharpen his focus.
• Xiao Wu used Teleportation to evade Yu Tianheng, while Oscar’s sausage and Ning Rongrong’s support helped Dai Mubai keep him occupied.

• Yu Xiaogang learned that Dugu Yan was Poison Douluo’s granddaughter and watched as she used her third soul skill to form a defensive purple mist around Ye Lingling.
• Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing swallowed Oscar’s detoxifying sausages, and Tang San tried to burn away the poison with realgar wine and Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix Flame.
• The flames failed to weaken the poisonous mist, and Dugu Yan sent it sweeping toward Tang San and Ma Hongjun after Tang San called her poison a petty trick.
• Tang San escaped with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, but Ma Hongjun was trapped as the poison ignored his Phoenix Flame and seeped into his skin.
• Tang San attacked Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling with Blue Silver Grass, but one strand turned to ash and the other to ice, while hot and cold poison entered his body.

Dugu Yan’s ice and fire poisons and Yu Tianheng’s lightning skill overwhelmed the Shrek Seven Devils, ending the sparring match in a decisive victory for the Emperor Team.
