Shrek’s fighters continued their desperate battle, and Tang San moved to target Ye Lingling after the Royal Fight Team’s Nine-Heart Begonia restored much of their Soul Power.

• Ning Rongrong boosted Shrek’s strength and speed again, and the fighters renewed their desperate attack on the Royal Fight Team.
• Ye Lingling’s Nine-Heart Begonia restored most of the Royal Fight Team’s expended Soul Power, so Tang San leaped toward her with poisonous Blue Silver Grass.

During the battle, Meng Yiran charged into Dugu Yan’s concentrated poison cloud to save Qin Feng, who was secretly absorbing the poison. Qin Feng recalled his Ugly Bug before it could devour Meng Yiran’s Serpent Cane, but the pair emerged in an awkward embrace that enraged Dugu Yan and Shi Mo.

• Shrek Academy fell behind as the Royal Fight Team’s members split up to attack their opponents.
• Meng Yiran rushed into Dugu Yan’s poisonous mist, believing Qin Feng was in danger, and the Royal Fight Team abandoned its attacks to follow her.

As the Royal Fight Team blamed Qin Feng for Meng Yiran’s condition, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling continued treating her and planned to summon Poison Douluo.

• Meng Yiran opened her eyes, and Dugu Yan said she would keep treating her and summon her grandfather to try to save her.

Qin Feng used the Nine-Heart Blood Begonia to save Meng Yiran and heal Ye Lingling, then restored Shrek Team to full strength. With both teams recovered and Qin Feng's Soul Power depleted, the arena resumed the battle amid renewed cheers.

They agreed that Ye Lingling would give him her clan’s annual income and persuade Meng Yiran to stop troubling him in exchange for his help, but she still wanted to see his face beneath his mask.

• Qin Feng rejected Ye Lingling’s offer of one hundred thousand gold coins and shamelessly demanded better terms.

Qin Feng accepted after Ye Lingling restored his Soul Power, and their duel began with powerful attacks from both sides.

Qin Feng asked Flender for leave to travel to the Silves Kingdom, then Meng Yiran confronted him and demanded a rematch after claiming he had forced her into becoming his concubine. Their fight began in a forest, where Qin Feng brought out a small black bug that frightened Meng Yiran's Red Chain Red Serpent.

• Qin Feng told Flender he would be away for a month or two and would rejoin Shrek in the Silves Kingdom on the way to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
