• Mikala told Qiao Sang that little was known about Shalala’s Battle Form and explained that Shalala’s appearance would change as it evolved in that form.

• The Electric Light Dragon admitted its offered scales belonged to an older relative, plucked two of its own scales, and sold them to Qiao Sang for 720,000 Alliance Coins.
• Qiao Sang sent the scales to Jacqueline Teacher, who confirmed they were suitable and promised to deliver the finished potion within two days.

• Qiao Sang gave Ting Bao the finished potion and told it not to train for a day, then assured it that it might evolve before the official competition.

• Six-Winged Firebird’s clones unleashed destructive heat waves across the entire arena.

Qiao Sang used the Nether Ring Monarch’s Substitute and Shadow Penetration to turn the Six-Winged Firebird’s opening Flame Refining Array against it, then Little Seeker and its Giant Nether Ring Monarch form trapped the bird with Hypnosis. Xia Huo revealed that the Six-Winged Firebird had feigned sleep, seized both targets, and unleashed another Flame Refining Array strike as Qiao Sang smiled.

• Qiao Sang’s code word “one” prompted the Nether Ring Monarch to use a Substitute while redirecting the Six-Winged Firebird’s Flame Refining Array attack back onto it.
• The Six-Winged Firebird survived the redirected blast and continued firing increasingly powerful pillars from its array, while Little Seeker evaded and used the code word “three” to change tactics.
• Qiao Sang’s Giant Nether Ring Monarch appeared and used Darkness Shadow followed by Hypnosis to make the Six-Winged Firebird drowsy.

• Xia Huo declared that they would perish together as the Flame Refining Array fired a destructive pillar at the trapped group, and Qiao Sang smiled.

Qiao Sang’s Little Seeker defeated Xia Huo’s Six-Winged Firebird by using a convincing Substitute to survive the Flame Refining Array. With the score at 0:1, Xia Huo sent out her Blade Scale Dragon for the second round, and it struggled to spot the tiny Nether Ring Monarch.

• Qiao Sang and Little Seeker received cheers from the crowd, while the spectators’ attention brought a great deal of White Energy to Little Seeker.
• After the arena was reset, Xia Huo summoned her Blade Scale Dragon for the second round, and it struggled to find the tiny Nether Ring Monarch.

Qiao Sang’s Little Seeker stole Blade Scale Dragon’s Companion Item and redirected its attacks, but Blade Scale Dragon used Malice Domain to locate it and unleashed Final Scatter. The battle continued as Xia Huo prepared to counter Little Seeker with Blade Scale Dragon’s defensive traits and Revenge.

• Little Seeker used Trick to swap Blade Scale Dragon’s blade for its ring, then failed to damage the stolen blade by biting it.
• Blade Scale Dragon calmed itself, broke apart the arena floor, and struck Little Seeker with its own redirected beam through a Black Hole.
• Malice Domain stirred Little Seeker’s negative emotions, but Qiao Sang’s command of “Livestream” snapped it out of the effect before Blade Scale Dragon could hit it.
• Little Seeker released Blade Scale Dragon’s blade, then stored it in its ring as it flew back, while Blade Scale Dragon used Final Scatter across the arena.

Qiao Sang’s Nether Ring Monarch used Substitutes, Space Lock, and coordinated attacks to outmaneuver Xia Huo’s Water Star and destroy her Water Avatar. Water Star was struck by Mind Headbutt, but Xia Huo ordered her to use Barrier as she fell.

• Water Star summoned Rainfall and formed a gigantic Water Avatar, while Little Treasure used a Substitute to distract her and struck her with Shadow Ball.
• The Water Avatar caught Water Star, but a giant Nether Ring Monarch attacked it; Qiao Sang then used Space Lock to shut out the rain and slow its recovery.

• Water Star used Ultimate Skill-level Spirit Body Exchange to swap the Substitute in the Water Domain Barrier with the rain-soaked Substitute outside, but its own judgment led it to discover and attack the real Nether Ring Monarch.
• Water Star caught Little Seeker in Space Lock and trapped it inside the Water Domain Barrier, where Little Seeker licked Water Star to interrupt its detonation and escaped the blast with Shadow Penetration.
• Water Star formed a giant body from the explosive water and attacked Little Seeker, but the giant collapsed as the barrier broke apart and flooded the field.
• Qiao Sang ordered Little Seeker to seal Water Star before it could recover energy in the water, then Little Seeker struck it with a giant Shadow Ball and suspended the unconscious Water Star with black shadows.

Qiao Sang’s Nether Ring Monarch defeated Xia Huo’s Water Star to bring the score to 0–3, while crowds of spectators filled the arena with white energy that Little Treasure could absorb.
