At the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Wu Qi learned the Worship Hall wanted the sect to establish an academy and arrange a reasonable way for his team to leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he saw Qin Ming’s dispute with Team Two as an opportunity.

Prince Xue Xing arrested Qin Ming on evidence of stealing royal assets, while Wu Qi’s team looked ahead to their move to Seven Treasures Academy.

After the execution, Wu Qi and the others resigned from Royal Fight Academy, leaving its Education Committee to face the loss of the students who had given it confidence.

• Prince Xue Xing read Qin Ming's charges and presented testimony bearing Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's signatures, leading Qin Ming to believe Shrek Academy had betrayed him.
• Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, and the others testified against Qin Ming, and the townsfolk pelted him with rotten food before he was subjected to death by a thousand cuts.
• Wu Qi and the others left the execution ground and saw the three members of the Education Committee among the crowd, while Shrek Academy's group in Silves City simultaneously felt unexplained heart palpitations.
• Tang San examined the Shrek group but found no clear cause for the palpitations, and Flender urged them to focus on winning five more matches.
• Wu Qi and the others submitted applications to leave Royal Fight Academy, and Meng Shenji and the other committee members realized the academy's competitiveness would suffer without them.
