As the teams began their battle, Hu Yanzhen praised his grandson Hu Yanli and hoped he would become the Elephant Armor Sect’s first Titled Douluo.

• Ning Fengzhi inferred that Salas had summoned Hu Yanzhen to arrange a difficult matchup for Blue Tyrant Academy and warned Gu Rong to protect the team.

Hu Yanli was badly wounded, while Hu Yanzhen anxiously watched from the VIP section, relieved that Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan were unharmed.

• As Dugu Yan’s poison weakened the Elephant Armor Sect, Hu Yanli ordered his six teammates to use their Soul Skills and charged at Blue Tyrant Academy.
• Hu Yanli’s Crushing Kill immobilized Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong, but Xiao Wu moved them out of the way before the seven men struck the arena.
• Ning Fengzhi warned Hu Yanzhen with a cutting remark, and Hu Yanzhen feared the consequences if Ning Rongrong or Dugu Yan had been hurt.
• After the dust cleared and Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan were safe, Zhu Zhuqing attacked Hu Yanli with her Fourth Soul Skill.
• Zhu Zhuqing’s strikes covered Hu Yanli in wounds and tore up his arms and legs.

• Zhu Zhuqing struck Hu Yanli’s meridians and bones, but his physique let him regain his footing and charge again with the Elephant Armor Sect.

• Tang San received a note directing him to meet in the Small Woods and hurried away from Oscar.
• Tang San sensed that the path was distorted and the surrounding crowd was an illusion, then encountered Shi Nian.
