• Yun Qi noticed the tea's milky fragrance and realized Bi Ji was hiding something, but he pretended not to know and kept drinking it.

Ning Rongrong devised a tactic that would make Oscar exhaust his Soul Power making food, then charge at the opposing team’s main attacker as a distraction.

• Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu defeated the two goat Spirit Masters, while Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing took out two opponents bound by Tang San.
• Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could not overcome the Bewitching Girl's poisonous spider silk, so he dodged her attack and launched a Spider Web Restraint and a Sleeve Dart.
