• After recovering from his battle with Dugu Bo, Tang Hao left Heaven Dou City to investigate elsewhere because Bone Douluo was stationed at the tournament venue.

• Shen Tianchen suspected Prince Xue Xing had arranged Wang Teng’s sudden return to the arena, while Prince Xue Xing watched the match anxiously.

• Wang Teng grabbed Ma Hongjun, disrupted Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass support, and fought through Xiao Wu’s attempt to intervene.
• Wang Teng stepped over Xiao Wu and lunged straight at Tang San, startling the audience.

Tang San and Ma Hongjun killed Wang Teng during the tournament, prompting officials to detain Shrek Academy while Prince Xue Xing blamed the entire team. As the arrests closed in, Yu Xiaogang revealed a Papal Edict and claimed his authority as a Spirit Hall honorary elder.

• The Organizing Committee’s negotiations with Yu Xiaogang and Salas deadlocked, though both sides agreed Ma Hongjun alone would bear responsibility.
• Tang San told the officials that Ma Hongjun had a motive and deliberately failed to control his soul skill during the match.
• The officials promised Tang San he would soon be released, and Tang San accepted Ma Hongjun’s sacrifice to protect the Shrek Team.
• Ma Hongjun denied killing Wang Teng deliberately, but the officials wrote a fabricated confession and had the guards beat him unconscious.
• The officials reported back to the Organizing Committee, which scheduled Ma Hongjun’s trial for the next day.

Yu Xiaogang negotiated with Spirit Hall and the royal family to save Tang San, leaving Ma Hongjun to face public judgment as Shrek Academy’s scapegoat. As Ma Hongjun’s trial approached, Flender confronted Yu Xiaogang, while Shen Tianchen learned Shrek might soon regain its tournament qualification and Prince Xue Xing worked to hide his connection to Wang Teng.

• Shen Tianchen invited the team to watch Ma Hongjun’s judgment, and Li Ping eagerly agreed.
• Prince Xue Xing tried to conceal traces linking him to Wang Teng while the exchange proposal drew investigators’ attention elsewhere.

The public tribunal cleared Tang San and convicted Ma Hongjun of Wang Teng’s murder, then executed him while Flender watched helplessly. Shen Tianchen’s team shut their curtains, and Huo Wushuang wondered whether the Shrek Team could survive the resulting collapse of trust.

• Officials brought Ma Hongjun and Tang San to a crowded public tribunal, where Flender watched with Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.
• The tribunal presented evidence and Tang San’s testimony, which helped convince the crowd that Ma Hongjun had murdered Wang Teng out of resentment.
• Salas declared Tang San not guilty, while Tang San apologized on Shrek Academy’s behalf and left the platform.
