• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing attacked Li Yu, but Ying Yu trapped them inside a water bubble and left them unable to move.

• Li Yu's bubbles stopped Tang San's bolts, but he had used the attack to poison her.

Tang San's poisoned crossbow bolts and Blue Silver Grass attacks failed to defeat Li Yu, who trapped Xiao Wu in an Illusionary Realm and confronted her about trusting Tang San. Li Yu revealed that Tang Hao's wife, Tang San's mother, had been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor.

• Xiao Wu suspected Tang Hao had killed her mother for her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and Li Yu offered to help her take revenge if she accepted his terms.
• Li Yu said he could either reveal Xiao Wu’s identity or let her leave after placing a tracking method on her, and Xiao Wu agreed to the arrangement.
• Li Yu summoned the Life Tree, explaining that it could seize control of unconscious lifeforms and create a Life Gate mark that allowed him to track and communicate with her.
• Li Yu warned Xiao Wu that the soul mark could make her his servant, but could conceal her aura, improve her Life Element affinity, speed her cultivation, and help her escape danger.

• Li Yu bound Tang San and asked Meng Shenji to announce the result; he declared her the victor after all Shrek members were eliminated.
• Meng Shenji considered asking the emperor to recruit Li Yu, while Li Yu demanded that Tang San hand over the wager.

Shrek then invoked Tang San’s powerful backer to halt the dispute, and an unidentified speaker challenged their attempt to use that backing to evade the rules.

• Tang San revealed his Eight Spider Lances and insisted he had not lost, so Li Yu announced she would take his External Soul Bone herself.

• Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing appeared and backed Li Yu, but Yu Xiaogang displayed Tang Hao’s token and warned them about the Titled Douluo behind Shrek.
• An unseen speaker mocked Shrek’s reliance on a Titled Douluo and challenged them to follow the rules rather than use their power to break their word.
