• Two sharp clangs rang through the mist, followed by a surprised cry from the fused figure.

Gu Xuan and Shrek's Six Monsters fought Xie Yue and Hu Liena's red-mist Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which concealed their movements and covered most of the arena. Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausages let the team escape the mist and take to the sky.

• Xiao Wu called for a straight line, and her allies used Flying Mushroom Sausages to align behind her.
• Xiao Wu’s Invincible Golden Body stopped the halo, letting Ma Hongjun charge forward as she vanished.

Xiao Wu used Invincible Golden Body and her close-combat skills to isolate and incapacitate a Spirit Hall Academy Team member, giving Ma Hongjun a chance to defeat him with Phoenix Roaring Strike. Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun regrouped as their temporary enhancements ended, and the battle continued fiercely inside the red mist.

Gu Xuan fought Xie Yue inside the red mist of the Bewitching Charm Martial Soul Fusion Skill while the Shrek Team’s other members struggled against Yan.

• Yan used his fourth soul skill to slow the Shrek group and raise waves of magma from the ground.

• A black scythe appeared beneath Dai Mubai and formed seven Scythe Shadows that blocked the Moon Blade, weakening it as the shadows shattered.
• Gu Xuan pounced toward Xie Yue, who spun and fired another, stronger Moon Blade at him.
