Dai Mubai and Oscar obeyed Gu Yuan’s order and beat Huo Yuhao, while Old Ma urged the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy to compete despite its fear of Gu Yuan. Old Ma argued that Gu Yuan had probably come to display Shrek’s strength rather than participate, leaving the team to prepare for the tournament on that assumption.
