• Ning Fengzhi identified Meng Yiran’s Eight Spider Lances as an external soul bone from a Man Faced Demon Spider and asked Sword Douluo about taking it for Ning Rongrong.
• Sword Douluo determined that the bone had fully fused with Meng Yiran, so Ning Fengzhi abandoned the idea of seizing it.

Meng Yiran defeated the Shrek Seven Devils single-handedly, leaving Tang San gravely poisoned before saving his life by drawing the venom back into her Eight Spider Lances. After the tournament's first day ended, Ye Qifeng returned to camp to find himself surrounded by fourteen women, while the injured Shrek team drew a bye for the next day's matches.

• Meng Yiran defeated Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Tang San, then won the remaining bouts by forfeit when the Shrek substitutes refused to fight.
