• Lin Xiao sent a blood-red glow into Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass, and Tang San knelt to thank him for the change he alone could sense.

Tang San and the Shrek team entered a soul battle against the stronger Black Hawk Team, whose captain, Black Eagle, overwhelmed several of them. As Black Eagle prepared a boosted fourth soul skill against Gu Yuena and the others, the fight remained unresolved.

• Lin Xiao gave Tang San a strand of Soul Power, then sent the Shrek team to compete while Zhao Wuji watched from the viewing area.
