Titan challenged Tang San to withstand his pressure, wagering that Tang San would join the Strength Clan if he lost and that Titan’s family would join the Tang Sect if he won. Tang San began the dangerous contest at a severe disadvantage, while Titan recognized his potential and the chapter left their clash underway.

• Titan offered to spare Tang San from direct attacks and demanded that he join the Strength Clan if he failed to withstand the pressure for an incense stick’s burn.
• Xiao Wu objected that Titan’s wager was unfair, so Tang San proposed that Titan’s entire family join the Tang Sect if Tang San won.
• Titan accepted the revised terms, believing the Tang Sect was an obscure group, and assured Tang San that he would stop the pressure if Tang San yielded or retreated twenty meters.

As the Shrek team prepared to face Royal Fighting Team, Grandmaster warned them about its powerful members and Dugu Yan's poison, while Tang San believed his knowledge of poison gave them a chance.

• Su Chen reviewed Royal Fighting Team's roster and judged that the Shrek girls would need to target Ye Lingling to overcome her healing.
