• Shrek Academy had only three Soul Ancestors on its team, while Ning Rongrong withdrew and was replaced by an older, less talented Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda disciple.

As he and Dugu Bo searched for Lynette’s second spirit ring, Wriothesley heard the place’s spirits speak, while Dugu Bo could not, and considered how their arrival had disrupted the fate planned for Tang San.

• Wriothesley told Dugu Bo that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was tens of thousands of zhang deep, and Dugu Bo realized Wriothesley could perceive its secrets.
