Qiao Sang and Xia Huo began their highly anticipated Master Challenge match, each opening with a pet beast the other feared. Their first exchange ended with Six-Winged Firebird’s attack engulfing the arena before Little Treasure could strike.

• The spectators and commentators focused on Qiao Sang and Xia Huo, the last representatives of their respective universities, as the match was scheduled for nine that evening.

• Little Treasure provoked Six-Winged Firebird and turned invisible, then identified the real bird among its clones by spotting the one whose wings beat faster.
• 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.

• Qiao Sang’s Giant Nether Ring Monarch appeared and used Darkness Shadow followed by Hypnosis to make the Six-Winged Firebird drowsy.

• 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.

• 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.

• Xia Huo ordered Fire Star to transform, and it made the sky blaze red before enormous flaming meteors plunged toward Little Treasure.

Qiao Sang had Little Seeker dodge Fire Star’s Meteorite Stone Fall and then use Shadow Penetration and Curse before Fire Star overwhelmed it with its Fire Avatar.
