• Dugu Luo silently released poison throughout the match, knocking all seven opposing students unconscious and alarming Tang San, Huo Yuhao, and the other teams.

• Moyan and Zhang Lexuan noticed Jin Tianming had used Ultimate Space to divert Lei Ze’s lightning, and Moyan doubted the Dragon Soul Avatars could defeat him without joining forces.

• Star Luo’s Titled Douluos sensed Long Xiaoyao confronting Jin Tianming and initially hoped he would kill the rising soul master, but Long Yaoqing’s chilling presence drew them toward the Sun Moon Hotel.

Moyan, Zhang Lexuan, and Han Ruoruo inspected the aftermath of Long Xiaoyao’s death at the Sun Moon Team’s hotel, where Moyan focused on the missing head and the difficulty of reporting the remains to Shrek Academy. After agreeing to negotiate with the Sun Moon Team, Moyan and Jin Tianming named Wen Yu as the witness requested by the Star Luo Empire Titled Douluo.

• Moyan ordered Jing Hongchen to rewrite the list more ruthlessly, and he began writing again.

Moyan pushed Jing Hongchen to write impossible compensation demands, then revealed that the negotiation was meant to inflame tensions between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire.

Meanwhile, Moyan refused responsibility for Shrek’s compensation treaty, and Tang San stunned Dai Hao by revealing that Huo Yuhao and Huo Yutong were his fraternal twins.
