• Ye Zhiqiu reasoned that a person's strength might determine how much Negative Emotion Value they produced after Su Yuntao yielded far more than Ye's Parents or Tang San.

• Tang San praised Yu Xiaogang’s status, and Yu Xiaogang explained that he was known as Grandmaster rather than serving as a teacher at the academy.
