• The Spirit Souls finished absorbing the marrow, and Snow Empress changed from a little girl into a more mature young maiden.

• Xiao Hongchen refrained from fighting Xu Sanshi because Lin Xi had warned him not to reveal his awakened martial soul at Shrek Academy.
• Lin Xi predicted that Xu Sanshi would defeat He Caitou, while Wang Yan insisted He Caitou would win.

• Xiao Hongchen argued that the Original Seven Devils succeeded through their own talent and questioned Shrek Academy’s motto, prompting Wang Yan to defend the academy and invite him to discuss group battles.
