Dugu Yan endured the Dragon Transformation Grass’s effects in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while Xiao Chen involved Ye Lingling and used his aura to suppress Dugu Yan’s pain.

At Shrek Academy, Tang San forced Oscar and Ma Hongjun into obedience, secured Dai Mubai’s agreement, and plotted to use the tournament to surpass Xiao Chen.
