Jianyi Base chose Lei She for the first match, expecting an easy victory, but the Wolf Fang Regiment’s seemingly weak fighter quickly defeated their Tier 2 Evolver. The match left Jianyi Base’s soldier injured and its onlookers stunned.

• Lei She returned to the Wolf Fang Regiment and said the injury would heal enough for the soldier to walk the next day.

Jianyi Base repeatedly chose Wolf Fang Regiment fighters it believed would be easy opponents, but Lei She and Li Bifeng both defeated their challengers. After Jianyi Base selected an ordinary-looking third fighter, Chu Han urged Lu Yi to choose someone else.
